For those of you that have been around awhile, you know of my love for Fuzzi Bunz diapers, and the awkward position I found myself in (which can be read here) when the were offering their buy 6 get 2 free deal! Well, since then I've been kinda steering clear of Fuzzi Bunz (purchasing new ones that is)!
But today, my faith has been restored!!
I recently purchased some of the old-style fuzzi bunz diapers about 6 months ago or so. A few days ago, I noticed that the PUL on the inside of the diaper where the Fuzzi Bunz logo was stitched on was torn and the PUL was coming apart.
So, I took pictures and sent them to Fuzzi Bunz. They said go ahead and send in your diapers. So I did!
Today, the mail came and I was quite surprised to receive 2 of the new Elite One Size Fuzzi Bunz diapers AND a FREE Fuzzi Bunz fleece mattress pad! Yay!
I am so excited. I can't wait to wash it and try it out. Just the other day I was thinking that I needed to buy a mattress pad because my boys' mattresses (Naturepedic no compromise organic) seem to feel cold to the touch and with the winter months here, I just wanted a little extra padding to help keep my boys warmer in bed! I think this mattress pad will do the trick!
Thank you Fuzzi Bunz... in my opinion, you have redeemed yourself!

Has Fuzzi Bunz redeemed themselves???
Many of you are aware of the confusion I had over the current Fuzzi Bunz promotion and their buy 6 get 2 free! If not, you can read about that HERE
Fuzzi Bunz has made a blog comment on that same link and this is what they had to say:
"Hi Angela,
The Buy 6 Get 2 Free promotion is a Manufacturer's Rebate. If you show us a receipt of you buying 6 diapers in one purchase, we will honor the promotion. We are very sensitive to having fair promotions between our retailers. The retailer you were working with was not aware that you were trying to take advantage of three promotions at one time - at $10 off and a 15% military discount and the rebate. This was an oversight by a retailer and she has since changed her policy to eliminate this issue going forward. Retailers may offer one discount and the rebate, but not two discounts as she was doing. We are sorry if this has caused you any distress. Also, please note that no one may promote that they will sell FuzziBunz news unless they are an authorized retailer. However, buying them for your friends is fine if the retailer will honor such a discount for bulk purchases. This is our final response as we have been very communicative with you throughout this process. Thank you for being a FuzziBunz fan and for your understanding."
Do I still love my Fuzzi Bunz? Yes! Am I going to buy some diapers? Yes.
Do I think they handled this situation correctly??? Perhaps. I think that since they were not suffiecent in communicating their rules of purchase (ie: they should have been included in the 'fine print' on the promotional page, that perhaps things could have been done differently!
Fuzzi Bunz really are great diapers. I have had no issues with their customer service in the past (even when my diapers needed replacing because of tearing in the PUL) until now!
I am going to give Fuzzi Bunz a second chance.
If you commented earlier about not being sure if you would like to buy from them or not, because of my blog post, please feel free to give them a try. Their diapers really are top-notch!
As the blog post said, "If you show us a receipt of you buying 6 diapers in one purchase, we will honor the promotion."
What do you think? How many of you are going to be purchasing diapers to take advantage of the buy 6 get 2 free deal??

Fabulous Fuzzi Bunz?? Not quite! My disappointment with Fuzzi Bunz (the company, not the product)! Part I
Okay, so those of you that have been reading this blog for any amount of time, might know that fact that I LOVE Fuzzi Bunz diapers! I have reviewed them here on the blog, talked about my passionate love affair love for them time and time again!
So you can imagine my excitement when I recently found out that they are having a sale! Buy 6 diapers, get 2 free! Yay! Being the budget conscious, frugal mama that I am I immediately started crunching numbers.
6 at $19.95 = $119.70 then you get two free, so really you are getting 8 diapers for $119.70, which comes out to $14.96 a diaper! Great deal, good price!
So I began contacting on-line authorized Fuzzi Bunz retailers to see who could give me the best deal. Since we are military, I get a good military discount. One retailer offers me 10% off and another 15%
So my first retailer offered me the 10% off discount price, plus they had an online coupon code allowing you to take $10.00 off any purchase over $50.00. So with this sale, 6 diapers at $19.95 = $119.70, minus the 10% = $107.73 then the $10.00 off the purchase = $97.73. So for 8 Fuzzi Bunz diapers (buy 6 get two free), it comes out to $12.21 per diaper!
Unreal! This is like the sale of the century! My heart begins to beat faster and faster as I crunch numbers! Here is a look at scenario #2 (on-line retailer #2)
8 diapers for $119.70 minus the 15% off (military discount) it comes out to $101.75 which makes it $12.71 a diaper! This is unreal! This price for my beloved Fuzzi Bunz!
So in planning to place an order, I thought of how much I love these diapers. Then I remembered that at this financial climate, not many moms may be able to lay down about a hundred bucks for 8 new diapers.
So what do I do... I start thinking that if I buy a bunch then offer them to you, my lovely readers at the sale price, you could get them at this great price!
I made a facebook post about it offering these diapers to you for about $12.00 each!
You have to understand something, retail is very competitive. The various retailers want your business! They compete against one another to give you the best price possible, so that you will conduct your business with them.
So within the same day of making that Facebook post, I received two e-mails from two online retailers asking me where I got that number ($12.00 each) so I responded to each with my math and both seemed satisfied.
Then, the next day, a representative from Fuzzi Bunz e-mails me and asks me how I am able to get the diapers at that price. So I explained the same thing to her about the discounts and savings code!
She contacts her supervisor and states that this sale (buy 6 get 2) cannot be used with any other discount (from retailers)! So I go to the Fuzzi Bunz website, and look again at the sale deal, buy 6 get 2 and NO WHERE do I read that this sale/promotion cannot be combined with any other discount!
Here is a comparison for you! Recently Bumgenius had a similar sale/promotion, but theirs was buy 5 get 1 free. On the Bumgenius sale, their page automatically stated (fine print) that their promotion could not be combined with any other sale or discount.
Now for the Fuzzi Bunz buy 6 get 2 free, there is nothing on the sale page that says this deal/promotion cannot be combined with any other sale.
It only states that all 6 diapers must be purchased at the same time, from the same retailer, and purchased from 8/15 to 9/30 That's it!
So in my search to find the best deal, I came across not one, not two, but 4 'authorized' online retailers that were willing to give me military discount (and other store sales) with the Fuzzi Bunz promotion!
You would think that if such a policy existed that the Fuzzi Bunz promotion could NOT be used with any other discount or sale, that the retailers would know this. I am told that Fuzzi Bunz has a specific contract with these retailers, as they are authorized to sell the Fuzzi Bunz products. I was told by 2 of these online retailers that no where in their contract with Fuzzi Bunz was there any mention that the Fuzzi Bunz promotion could not be applied to any other sale or discount.
I asked the Fuzzi Bunz representative if I could get a copy of the policy between them and their retailers, and of course they said no!
Why am I so upset?
It's not so much the fact that I can't get the diapers for $12 something each (although that is a bummer) It's the fact that the company is in the wrong. The fact that there is NO 'fine print' saying this offer cannot be combined. I was told my the Fuzzi Bunz representative that if someone purchases the 6 diapers at a discounted price, the offer to get the 2 free would be void.
So now I am wondering how many mama's out there purchased the 6 with a sale code or discount and are not going to be receiving their two diapers free all because Fuzzi Bunz did not mention that their promotion could not be combined with any other sales!
I really do love my Fuzzi Bunz
I have contacted the company several times and am told that a supervisor will be in touch with me. That was a week ago, and still no word!
Will I sell all my Fuzzi Bunz diapers and make the switch to a different brand? Probably not, because I can't afford to, and I do love my FB dipes! Will I boycott Fuzzi Bunz and not purchase another one of their products? Not sure yet! But what I will do, is expose this company to you, and to all who will listen. I will see this through until it's resolved and find some sort of outcome where both parties (myself and Fuzzi Bunz) are satisfied!
To say the least, I am highly disappointed!

Fuzzi Bunz!! China vs. Turkey
There is a GREAT deal going on right now if you are in the Market for some Fuzzi Bunz Diapers. Currently, you can purchase 6 Fuzzi Bunz diapers (one size or perfect size) and submit a rebate form and get two free diapers (a solid color and a mystery print)! You can read all about the deal HERE!
My sister is a recent cloth convert (thanks to yours truly) and she is expecting baby boy #2 this fall!
And, a dear friend of mine here on Fort Meade is expecting baby #5 due this spring! She is all about cloth diapering! So, I am thinking I am going to be buying some Fuzzi Bunz!
Then I remembered that Fuzzi Bunz has recently changed their diaper manufacturers from the plant in China, to a plant in Turkey, and that got me thinking! I had heard rumors that since the switch in 2010, the Fuzzi Bunz diapers I have come to know, and LOVE are different in certain ways. Someone said something about difference in the snaps and fleece lining!
I had to investigate. I mean, who wants to spend a couple hundred dollars on diapers that you are unfamiliar with? Not me!
So today I contacted Fuzzi Bunz and told them my dilemma! They graciously agreed to send me a Fuzzi Bunz for review.
So that is where I am!
I can get a great deal on Fuzzi Bunz one size diapers.
If you are interested in purchasing a one size Fuzzi Bunz diaper, for around $12.20 each (plus shipping which will be about $1.50/$2.00) let me know! I am going to be placing an order (provided the Fuzzi Bunz I receive for review are no different to the ones I know and LOVE) for Fuzzi Bunz diapers. I will be purchasing in bulk and can get these one size daipers for just over $12.00! So if you would like one, please e-mail me at angela_heffner at yahoo dot com and I will be glad to get you squared away.
