Bugaboo Donkey?

Mother Goose,

I just wanted to give you a quick update - have my Donkey arrived today from previously mentioned overseas website purchase. I am assuming the other half will be on it's way (I've emailed them to check but I'm not too concerned - yet) I've been really impressed with the service and follow up and shipping took approximate 9 days from order.

I didn't have to pay any tax or import duty (well yet anyway! :)) and I have no complaints. I guess best of all if it ends well - I've saved myself $800 on the Donkey Twin.

Oooo thanks! Hope the other half arrives soon!!!! We have decided to go with the Cam so now just waiting until a bit closer.

Update - for all but specially Mother Goose.

The second box of my Donkey arrived today. Haven't opened it yet but all seems perfect. The online store was amazing with service when I emailed and said I was missing a box - tracked it down for me, told me what was happening - awesome.

Anyway - no tax or duty or any extra charges - I'm one happy camper:) If they sold maxi cosi car capsules to Australian standards I would be in seventh heaven! Hahahahaha

Hi All,
Just wanted to know if there has been any updates with ppl purchasing from o/s and on the car seats?

Thanks
Carls

Hi! the maxi cosi carseats are back :dance:

there is no comparison price wise so i am buying mine online from said shop :)

what i wanted to know is whether the online place uses a courier? I dont have anywhere 'safe' to drop my packages off, and would like someone that needs to knock on the door for delivery ITMS.

Hi guys I bought my donkey from babyshop which is based in sweden but a week later they stopped being able to **** to australia. Some moron got on bugaboo's fb page and opened their trap saying why would we buy from them when baby shop in sweden is so much cheaper!!! Bugaboo have now stopped them shipping here :( I'm so glad I bought mine when I did!!!

NOOOOOOO!!!!! i knew i should of bought it when i had the chance :wall:

*hmm just checked and they are still allowing the ordering??*

I'm on a fb page called bugaboo pramaholics and literally the day after mine arrived, they put their orders in and then got an email saying they couldn't ship to Aus :(

Hi, do u know if the maxi cosi are now safe and to Aus standards?
Shame about the o/s website. Why would someone post that, although they do have a point just ruined it for the rest of us. Maybe try in a few weeks...?

Anyway now to find the cheapest in Aus I suppose

Thanks
Carls

ah crap :(

Ted: yep, the maxi cosi are aus standard!

I bought my maxi cosi capsules last week from a shop in perth. Got the Mico in black because it fits better on the bugaboo adapter for the Onkey - than the Titan and I prefer the look of the Mico anyway. The new one is black and white and the hood provides great coverage when it's not in the car and it's on the pram frame.

I personally wouldn't buy a car seat on an OS website and now that maxi cosi have rereleased it in australia again - there's really no need to! Think I paid about $440 each including them installing them. The new ones have the detachable tether strap and seem great

Does anyone know the cheapest place to buy the donkey from? Shattered the O/S website stopped shipping here! I've requested to join pramaholics on fb but waiting to be accepted. Anyone with advice I'd greatly appreciate it, it's such a lot of money for a pram any discount would really help.

Try babytime in hoppers crossing :)

In the end (due to my lack of great timing :wall:) i had to buy the donkey here locally (bah!) and for the duo i had to pay $1799. such a rip off in comparison to the rest of the international market (the US sells them for $1500 directly from bugaboo website). Babyshop is still the cheapest but yeah, they are not allowed to sell ANY bugaboo product to Australian customers :( (i asked about the adaptors etc as well).

Watch this space I am considering selling my Donkey Twin - it's brand new - it looks great but its justbtoo bigbto be practical:(

ah no! dont tell me this :rofl: I was tossing up between the donkey and the new Icandy Peach Blossom 2....even have a thread up about it lol.

how is it too big? is it the weight or the trickiness in getting around with it? tell me all!!!!

Ttl will you be planning on selling your maxi cosi capsule or just getting another pram to match? I think they are the capsule that we want... So many decisions but I'm pretty sure they go well with the baby jogger prams.
