You guys. This might be the hormones talking, but I’m fucking LIVID right now. My husband and I purchased a glider from Buy Buy Baby on June 23rd. I was 26 weeks. They told us it will take 6-8 weeks to arrive, as we had picked our own fabric for the chair. Fine, I figured I’d be (at the most) 34 weeks by the time it got here.
Well tomorrow I’m 35 weeks, still no glider. I had called two weeks ago to check the status, and the sales associate even thanked me for waiting to call “in the window” and said it should be arriving soon.
Well, since then my Braxton-Hicks have been increasing and I’ve lost my mucus plug (twice), so we’re starting to think the little dude might show up early. The only thing we don’t have is this fucking glider.
My husband called today to check the status. They said they weren’t sure and that “it might be here” and they will check and call him back. They didn’t call back, so he called again. Got transferred to the furniture department, then got hung up on. He figured it was a mistake, called again. The woman who answered said they were “too busy” and said they would call him later.
So he physically went to the store. Now they’re telling him it’s not 6-8weeks, but 12+ weeks for delivery. You guys. It takes an entire trimester for a chair to get here?! You have to be kidding me. He’s still there right now trying to sort it out, but honestly at this point I just want our money back, which I doubt they will do. I have emailed corporate (three times). Twice to check the status and once to complain about the service we received today. Still no response. I know it’s just a chair and we will survive without it, but I am FUMING!
So those of you in the market for a glider, do yourself a favor and stay away from Buy Buy Baby. You can get the same damn thing on amazon (for cheaper).
Try complaining on their Facebook page or to their Twitter account if you can, I find shaming companies on social media to be extremely effective at motivating them to take action sometimes.
Buy buy baby is WAY too overpriced. Target, Walmart, and amazon have the same chairs for way less and you get them hella sooner.
Also, you can lose your mucus plug multiple times before birth. And Braxton Hicks pick up around week 34. You’ve still got time :)
I hope your chair comes soon or that they refund you and you get another one!
We got a beautiful white and grey one from amazon and it came in 3 days.
But no, you’re not overreacting and it’s not the hormones. They have terrible service there.
