Kiwi Pie stocking on Hyena Cart at noon EDT today - Have a question

[Saartje]

Previews are up. Anyone want to help me stalk, please? From what I've heard, these should be a good fit for Ishie, and we *need* some covers that fit him well.

Which brings me to my other question, for those in the know: how do KP sizes run? She only has weight ranges listed, which can drive me nuts because those are usually inaccurate.

I got the email when I woke at random in the wee hours of the morning. I was so excited when I saw that there were still covers available, until I realized it was because they were selling at noon, not midnight. x( I think I was actually the frst one there, too! (Only 1 shopper online.)

[brigmaman]

Sarah, I *think* I remember them being low-rise. I've had 2 for Cadie and for some reason remember they wouldn't fit over some of her diapers.
If I am around I can help you try for one. Which are you interested in?
I have to say, it's very bizarre; before I went to bed, I said to myself, "Kiwipie is going to stock tonight." So strange.

[toomanystrollers]

IMO, they run big. I had to return a large kiwi and have a medium made for Neve - she's about 29 lbs.

I haven't run into any rise issues like Trish mentioned - but none of my Kiwi covers are the "trim" style that Maria makes from time to time.

HTH

[Saartje]

Judging by Pam's experience (Thanks, Pam!), I'll need a medium for Ishie. If you do get to help me stalk, I'd like any of the mediums; the oatmeal one would be my top pick, and the lavender second, but I'd be happy with the other two as well.

And it sounds like we have a psychic hyena among us! :o

[holliam]

Are they full-cut or trim-cut? Does it say in the descriptions?

Full cut seem a bit bulk IMO. We use them exclusively for nightime. Mari is 20lbs 12oz with 12.5" thighs, 20" waist (may be slightly bigger now) and wears mediums. I think the legs are on the largest setting and waist on second largest.

If they're trim cut, just a warning that most of our diapers peek through. So, we try to just use with KP snap-ins, but we don't have nearly enough.

I should be around at noon and can help. One question though, how do you pay for these? I don't have PayPal, so can I still try to buy?

[KrisM]

I was looking around her page and found this one:
http://www.kiwipie.com/store/WsAncillary.asp?ID=6
It lists sizes with weight, raise, waist, and leg.

Small (8 to 16 lbs) Medium (16 to 26 lbs) Large 26 to 36 lbs)

Small:
Raise 15.5 inches
Waist 10 to 18 inches
leg 8 to 12 inches

Medium:
Raise 18 inches
Waist 13 to 20 inches
Leg 9 to 13 inches

Large:
Raise 21 inches
Waist 16 to 25 inches
Leg 9 to 15 inches

HTH.

[Saartje]

Definitely a medium, then. Thanks, Kris!

[mudder17]

Sorry, CGI-limits were reached and I couldn't even get the buy it now page. Maybe someone was able to get it?

Oh, no!!! I could have gotten you a medium angora/cashmere with orange trim, but I dithered over the sizing and then didn't get it. :( Sorry about that.

[Saartje]

I got the oatmeal cashmere/wool one I wanted! :D My first-ever attempt at stalking, too.

ETA: Thank you so much for trying, Eileen. :D

[mudder17]

Excellent! Congratulations! I'm so glad! :)

[KrisM]

Ut-oh. I hope you want 2! I got a periwinkle one. Also my first stalking atempt.

[tarahsolazy]

However, I didn't look at sizing and just bought a large! I hope it isn't insanely too big, although it sounds like it might be. Oh well, I can always save it until it fits. I got the Orange one.

[papal]

If Sarah doesn't want it, can i get first dibs??!!


Greedily,

[KrisM]

Sure. I don't want it. I'm allergic to it, I am sure.

[papal]

<secretly hoping sarah doesn't want it>
thanks kris!

[KrisM]

Congrats!

I love the orange. What a fun color.

[brigmaman]

Brig was busy trying to "go." It's a huge production and I missed the whole stocking. I see a few of you made out!

[KrisM]

So, I have a question on this. I don't have PayPal, so I chose to send her an e-mail with alternative payment options. This is valid, right? The choice was on the page saying I would get an e-mail confirmation. I just want to be sure it works fine. I only do Money Orders.

[papal]

Kris,
If Sarah doesn't want it, I can do the paypal for you. :D

[KrisM]

Boy, aren't you helpful today :)

Where is Sarah??

That's good, because that is what I got!! There were two instock, though. This was my first hyena cart score!

[papal]

I know I know... i am a kiwi slut. All because of the lovely Carolee who gave us a beautiful Kiwi and now it has caused this hopeless addiciton. :D

[tarahsolazy]

Kris:

I wonder if you would be able to forward the email about alternative payment to whomever the lucky recipient of your stalking work, and she would be able to pay Maria by Paypal? That would certainly avoid paying for shipping twice, and be less hassle for you.

HMMM...

[KrisM]

Sounds reasonable to me. It would seem like it would work!

[pritchettzoo]

Or were some of the covers not there until after the stocking started? They look like older covers...

And I had one and clicked on Buy it now and got one of those messages where you have to choose whether to open or save the file. Same thing happened when I tried for another one.

I hate Hyena Cart!

[papal]

Eeks... that didn't happen to me.. that is crazy!
I was getting a CGI alert something or the other.

[tarahsolazy]

Nope, some appeared during the stocking. I had the tomato one in my cart, and missed it. When I went back, there were a few more larges than previously. By older, do you mean sitting around for a while? or used?

[pritchettzoo]

Nothing sits around! I mean I thought they were from previous stockings--like some sort of weird snafu in Hyena Cart.

[slknight]

Or you could alway sell it to me. ;)

[KrisM]

I don't know how old they were, but there were definitely more covers there during the stocking than before.

[papal]

heeheeeeee.....

[Saartje]

>Where is Sarah??

Studying. (Checking in on break. I'm setting a timer to keep myself on track.) Midterm is due tomorrow. Yikes!

Yes, I'd love the periwinkle, Kris, and thank you so much! If you can send the purchase message to me, or transfer it over to me somehow, I can Paypal for that one, too, and maybe save on the shipping. hydrophany at yahoo dot com


And Rashmi, if these turn out not to be just a WONDERFUL fit on Ishie, I'll give you first dibs, before I put them on swap. Deal? ;)

[mudder17]

Yeah, I missed the first go around because of the CGI error, and then refreshed the Kiwi Page and saw several medium covers that were not previously there (including the one that had two in stock that I almost got).
