    I just bought a peg perego pram from Baby Kingdom in Sydney and had it couriered to Melbourne as Baby KIngdom were $550 cheaper than any store here in Melbourne......It cost me just over $70 to have it couriered down fully insured option so I still saved close to $500 at the end of the day......and it was here within days! I highly reccomend e-go as a courier company......

    WOW! What a bargain! I've checked Baby Kingdom out, along with Glenhuntly and Pram Warehouse and sadly none of them have the Uni Coupe I have my heart set on. So I've gone back to our local store and finally found someone willing to look into ordering it for me! They got prices for me, then I came home and searched for it on-line just to compare. Some places have it as much as $150 cheaper on-line so I am definately going to go that way, I just have to narrow it down to cheapest postage, delivery times etc so I can decide which way to go! Wish me luck!

    All of my shopping was done online as where I live we have a small rural IGA and that is it. Being quite remote means shipping prices are often out of the question. I got my pram, car seat and a few other things from pram warehouse online and they were fantastic. However the shipping costs for the cot, changetable were too expensive (the staff were upfront in telling me this, apologising soo much). I ended up getting my big items from better baby deals online as they have free postage anywhere in australia and while you can find things a bit cheaper else where the postage definatley helps. They too were very helpful. I just had a look and they stock the love n care uni coupe and adiva sports.

    Hope this helps. Good luck and let us know how you go

    I have to admit I was still nervous about buying something like this on-line despite everyone's praise, but I decided to bite the bullet and give it a go-and I am so glad I did! I got myself a Love n Care Uni Coupe from BabyCare Nursery in Sydney for $171 cheaper than my local store. So even with shipping out here to Western NSW it was still $152 cheaper! I am so pleased with it, so thanks for boosting my confidence-I will definately be recommending on-line buying and doing it in the future!
