Baby Heist - My number one shopping site

Before I even began this blog, I was thinking of future topics. One of the first topics I thought of was www.babyheist.com. This is by far my favourite online shopping site. Why? Well that is not a simple question to answer. There is not one reason, there are countless reasons.

BabyHeist is a CANADIAN company, which is awesome in itself. It is run by two, yes only two, Canadian moms in Burlington ON. Each of these moms has 3 or more kids at home. And they are two of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet. I have only ever had contact with them through email, text messages and facebook, besides one phone call,  but they feel like dear friends. They are incredibly kind, generous, helpful, funny, and have so many other fantastic qualities.

If you have ever shopped at daily deal sites like BabySteals, BabyHalfOff, etc it is a similar concept. For the most part, there is one deal, aka heist, a day. These are baby, kid, family products at 40% and more off. They have had sought after items like Turtle Gus, Zoobies, Trunkis, and so much more. I have learned about so many new products through their heists. A major difference is that once an item is in your cart, it will not be taken out. You have 10 minutes to do some research, decide if you want to purchase and check out, it will not be taken out before that 10 minutes unless you take it out yourself. Payment is through PayPal or credit card not linked to paypal.

They also have what is called SHH - meaning Secret Hidden Heists. These are bonus heists :)

Another feature they have that I LOVE is called UGH - Unknown Goodie Heist. For these they give you a few hints, let you know how many items are included and the age they are for but you are essentially buying a surprise bag/box. Usually at a savings of over 50% of retail!! I have a slight addiction to these and have purchased at least 15 of them - in them I have received items like A+A dream blanket, Trunki, Zoobies, Sleep Sheep, many Melissa and Doug products, Fleurville diaper bags, and so much more! I have never been disappointed.

Another feature I love is called the BOA - Bag of Awesomeness. These are also surprise bags, but YOU give them the hints and likes and dislikes. They work around them to fill this bag for you at substantial savings over retail. These are in various sizes from $25 to $100 usually. I have also purchased at least 5 of these and have never been disappointed. I have received Snap Me Swimwear, Trunki, Spaloosh wooden toy box, Melissa and Doug products and so much more.  Love them!

As if all that isn't enough, they have MILD - each month a special Mommy In Love with Deals is announced. This lucky mama received advance notice of heists, special shipping priveledges and more.

The wonderful BH ladies offer very competitive shipping prices (as well as free local pickup) and have the absolute best customer service on the planet. They are very accommodating. I really truly cannot say enough good things about them. I have never had a mediocre, much less bad, experience with them. In this day and age where the customer is no longer always right, the ladies at BabyHeist are truly a breath of fresh air.

They have also created a great Facebook community with lots of very helpful and friendly moms. Once they reach 10,000 fans they are having a HUGE giveway like they did at 8000 fans. Over 100 prizes to be won, and you can enter to win now. http://www.facebook.com/babyheist?ref=ts

These two wonderful women also have two other businesses called momsfinds.ca and DK Baby Designs but I will tell you about them another time.

I highly recommend that you check out this fabulous site. New heists are posted at 10 a.m. daily at http://www.babyheist.com

This is a picture of my 4 year old on a fabulous BabyHeist mail day in my house, the big box included the BOA with my toy box in it.
