***FREEE***Double Stroller Swap CLOSED

[luckiemom]

Hi there,

Any chance that this stroller would be available starting October 9-17?
We are staying at Saratoga Springs.

Please let me know. I totally understand that it is very last minute.
Thank you,
Megan

kalliyan1 - Your right it probably is too tight to get the delivery of the stroller. Thank you anyways for trying.

Hi Kalliyan1,
I was wondering if you are still going to try to get this swap rolling since I see you heard back regarding the Royal Carriage 4 today. I was also waiting to hear about that one and have my dates approved for that one. I'm not able to PM yet either so if you could just answer this in the thread that would be great. I haven't totally committed to either one yet. Thanks.

Okay, It seems we are at the point where we have to make a decision about this swap. I found out via the post above that I was approved for another swap (i wasn't even checking anymore after I started this one). I see that 1 or 2 others have been approved as well. At this point, I need everyone who's dates are listed on post#1 to either commit for sure or let me know their plans have changed. If we have enough committment(everyone listed), I'm still willing to head this up. I will be asking for payment and will then order the stroller.

Here's what I've found:
stroller $163.23
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...c_mri?_encoding=UTF8&m=AWPGRT0FUEEOB&v=glance

Rain Cover $14.97
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t..._mri?_encoding=UTF8&m=A2SVLWJYV4TZYO&v=glance

Shipping $18.89
Total $197.09

If we divide that by everyone that has dates (7families), that would be $28.16 per family. That is obviously higher than what I had hoped for. I also think as the other swaps fill up, we will also get more people. I had hoped for a rate of $15-$20 per family.
If we decide to proceed with this base on the 7 of us, I would have the new families pay either the 15 or 20 dollars(whatever we as a group decide) and once they have paid, disperse that amount between the 7 of us until our rate is either the $15 or $20.

Make sense???? Please let me know your thoughts ASAP so we can make some decisions.

Thanks


UPDATED 10/1/08

New total per family if everyone participates from post #1 is $24.65

Hi,

Thanks again for offering to organize this stroller swap. I just think they are the greatest idea. However, since you and possibly some others were able to locate another swap, I think that at this point, I will decline.

We'll be able to make it work without. We have two umbrella strollers for our two youngest (age 5 - yes, she still likes to ride from time to time- and 2). We took them on our last trip with some stroller connectors (best purchase EVER at Babies R Us for $10) and it worked just fine. So many people stopped us to ask where we got them. Those connectors give such flexibility- we can have them connected or riding separately so we could split up in the parks if we want. Although I'd like to not have to lug the umbrella strollers through the airport along with their car seats, I think I'll opt for that free option, rather than do the stroller swap at this point. Thanks again for trying to pull it together though!

Hi there,

Is this swap still on or has everyone decided this one is a no go? I am looking for a double stroller for the time slot of Dec 6-13 (not flying in until the 7th and leaving very early on the 14th, but I'm okay with that). We have twin three year olds and I would prefer not to have to take a stroller onto the plane. We are staying at the Caribean Beach Resort.

Please let me know if this is still going to happen or if I need to look around some more? We are so excited about going to Disney for the first time as a family!

Thanks so much!

Jeannette

We are definately IN!!! There are plenty of people out there looking for a double stroller swap. We should have no problem making this work. We will be at the Beach Club Villas 11/30 - 12/5.

Hi!

We are interested in the stroller swap starting on November 26th/27th if The Mice Family is definitely out and we would be able to continue the swap until November 30th if possible ( I know another family has stated they would like it on November 30th, but we are both staying at the BCV so the transfer would be fairly easy that day/evening - the later the better ! ) BTW - our only concern is if something happens to the stroller before our stay or during our stay - (e.g. fear of someone taking it "by accident") What are the precautions - to prevent this?

uromac,

How perfect is it that we are both staying at the BCV's. We will not be arriving until about noon on 11/30 and we will be heading straight to DHS after we check in. We could just meet up later that evening at the resort if that is o.k. with you

Hi, I'm just checking w/isherman who has the stroller through the 2nd to see when they are leaving. When would you need the stroller by on the 2nd?Where are you staying?

 

[I_believe]

We will be there Dec. 10 until the 15th. We leave extremely early on the 15th so the 14th would work for trading it off. We are staying at CBR.

I would like everyone to pay by Monday 10/6 at the LATEST!!! I need to get it ordered and delivered in time for our first swapper. As I said before, if and when people sign up beyond our 9 families, I will request $20/family and will distribute that amongst the 9 families until our net out of pocket amount is $20 as well. Sound good???

Thanks everyone

Just let me know if anyone else is joining in and the exact amount due to send to you via Paypal!

Thanks again for organizing this swap!
