Freedom Ring Slings Help Again *Update pg 1*

[Blue_bumpkin]

If this arrives and my OH doesnt like it can we return this ok? Anyone done this?

He isnt too sure now about the RS

UPDATE:

So this hasn't arrived yet (ordered on saturday) - I know this is only a short time but heres why im concerned:

I emailed to ask about delivery (1st or 2nd class etc) as I need to make sure someone is in on the day. I have yet to receive a reply.

So today I have been calling and calling and noone is answering and im getting a little worried. We cancelled the other sling we ordered as we decided this one would be best and we couldnt afford both and now I cant get a hold of anyone

Anyone ordered direct from the website?

ETA: the address given is actually only about 20 mins from where I stay - small world!

Why isnt he sure? They are fab and my OH uses it without feeling daft or anything I have a pic of my OH with ours:

Not usre if you can return them or not, cant see why you couldnt though!

aw that looks fab! He is being a cow bag. He initially said it was upto me cause 'he wont be wearing it anyway' then went on about how he doesnt like the RS, why'd i get one

is it safe enough? i think he just doesnt like the idea of no buckles etc...

 

[Lliena]

Yup I was a bit hesitant at first thinking how the hell can just material support her, but it really does! Its perfect for Avalon she loves being in it and being held close to me. I can only use it for cradle carry atm cos shes so small but it looks easy enough to use as she grows too

 

[Heavenx]

Oooh I like! Silly question, but where can I get one like this? Ive never really taken much notice of them before but I think it would suit me and my somehwat already clingy baby lol.

im in coatbridge

have they perhaps gone out of business? the link to the instruction page says the file cannot be found

 

[Arcanegirl]

Hmm i dont think so? Theyve been going for years!

 

[Blue_bumpkin]

how long did your friend wait?

 

[Arcanegirl]

Ill direct her to this thread for you (shes caled Eala)

 

[Blue_bumpkin]

oh thanks

I got mine off their Ebay site (as that's where I found them MANY years ago, and didn't know about their "own" site). I ordered mine over a year ago, but I certainly don't remember waiting a long time for it. That was with mine being customised to make it longer too

It's just up the road from me (well, it is when I'm not on holiday in the New Forest ). The instructions page works absolutely fine for me - https://www.freedomslings.co.uk/FreedomSlingInstructions2010.pdf

Maybe try calling in the evening, as it's entirely possible that with so many kids, she'll be out during the day

 

[Arcanegirl]

Ahh i forgot about the kids, she has loads doesnt she?

 

[Blue_bumpkin]

I think its 12 Brave woman!

 

[Arcanegirl]

That would explain no answer on the phone, can you imagine trying to speak to someone with all the back noise?

 

[Blue_bumpkin]

i emailed too though

i called this morning, this afternoon and just there. she's gonna hate me

you still not parting with those flips?

 

[Arcanegirl]

Not yet, sorry Still need my nighttime nappies to arrive so i have more daytime ones! (using issys atm)

 

[Eala]

Saying that I think it was her eldest daughter who I had contact with, trying to remember the name! Miriam, I think it was, but don't quote me on that

You could look them up on Ebay and send them a message there too?

I'll try and have a trawl through my e-mail and see if I still have the e-mail trail about my sling, so I can try and work out when it was dispatched. I had a swaddle pod in my order too though, I can't remember if that made things take longer

i've just been looking at these too as i want to wear baby but no idea which one to get! just in case they have gone out of business, they're available on ebay for 16.50 with free p&p! x
