The Diaper Jungle Community

She "befriends" you to procrastinate, during the time I was waiting for the diapers, she printed a couple of paypal labels with DC, that never were scanned by the Post Office, Then she told me on 2 ocassions ( July and Aug ) that one of her daughter's took packages to the USPS Post Office, and left them on the counter without postage, and then when they were trying to locate them, they were lost. So she had to start the customs of "whoever" all over again, and my diapers were put off from production-

Then just about every month, claimed family sickness, but kept accepting orders from other people, AFTER I paid her. But no diapers for me. Then she told me she wouldn't ever of accepted the orders if I wanted them in a hurry. But that was after my 45 days with paypal were gone, so I didn't have any other choice, but to sit ,wait and worry...

From the beginning she sent me a diaper to try. The first one was ok, but the other ones were not. She changed the number of snaps on the diapers without notice. Before where 5 and then there was 4. The tester diaper she sends you is the nicest one but the rest of the diapers I received none of the soakers are the same.

The diaper brand has elastic issues. Sent diapers for elastic repair - and I know I am not the only one with this issue. And she was charging me $15.50 per diaper to fix it. She fixed them, after I told her, I knew the diaper had elastic issues -from previous DS posts, and she gave me a guilt trip that she'd fix them for me with savings to me of $124.00 dlls.

It took 3 months to complete the first set of 12 ,5 1/2 months for the second and 6 months for the third set , sent 3 gymboree blankets for customs 2 blankets for my customs of my second set and one for my thrid one but when she mailed the second set she told me she couldn't send it herself, but her mother-in-law sent them for her.

But the WAHM mother-in-law sent them to the wrong person in another state, and the other mom that had them had to mail them back to Daphne so, she could send them to me. So I had to wait another week and a half to receive the package.

Then after received them, I only got some of pieces of fabric scraps from the gymboree blankets with my my second set of diapers
She claimed the fabrics were going to be sent in a different package, and they were left in the Fed Ex location without a postage (this is Nov) Then when found, after mailing the diapers-tried to locate the package, and then mailed them to me,in a separate package from the last 12 diapers she owed me

But she only sent the printed side of the gymboree blankets, and KEPT -"Yes" -KEPT, the solid side of the gymboree blankets. Which she didn't use in any of my diapers. Solid sides of one blanket were 30x30 and 31x41- so it was given the chance to send the fabrics twice, and both times, she had a problem involved and sent fabrics incomplete.

I received the first set of diapers paid in April on the middle of July and the other 2 dozens (paid in May and June) were received one in Nov 9th and the other one in the last week of Nov-2008 after several email threats)

Wow what a bummer! I am dealing with a somewhat similar situation over a hand made outfit. Not sure what I'm going to do. I would never do that to one of my customers. I think that many people think that working at home means working whenever you feel like it. When the truth is that you will be working longer hours and have triple the responsibilities! And self motivating is not easy when your own comfy sofa is right in the next room!

Take Care!

Oh I am so sorry I don't understand how some people stay in business. I would have just issued a refund instead of all that! The customer comes first.

Ya know ladies, it just occurred to me, this person posted once and their one post was a long complaint about someone. Just something to think of. I don't know either of these ladies at all, so the source is not necessarily reliable, know what I mean?
