New to online shopping... Help

[ehlana06]

I'm looking to buy an Evenflo Triumph Advance DLX. I found it for an incredible (or at least I think it's incredible) price of $119.99 on Albee Baby. Only thing is I don't know if Albee Baby is a safe site to shop from... has anyone had problems with them or are they know to be trustwothy and hassle free. I'm just concerned that I'm going to have to go through a huge hassle. I don't want to have to worry too much about getting the wrong thing shipped or something like that... *sigh* this online shopping thing is difficult... :)

When I'm not sure about an online store I check www.resellerratings.com (http://www.resellerratings.com) for customer satisfaction and reviews. Here's their entry on Albee Baby:

http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Albee_Baby

And just a general tip, when you go to pay, make sure you check your browser's Address Bar and make sure the URL (web address) starts with "https" and NOT just "http." The extra "s" indicates the site is encrypted and that you're not just going to a "dummy" site that only looks like the real one.

I have never shopped with them, but there was a recent thread about them:

Sounds like YMMV.

I just found another thread discussing Albee Baby and It looks like they aren't too reliable. *Sigh* any suggestions??

I've shopped them multiple times and I've always had a good experience.

same here, shopped twice with them and was happy both times. Everything arrived fast and as expected. I can't speak of their CS as I never had to use it.

I've bought several things from Albee Baby online (including 2 car seats), never had a problem, and they usually do have the best price. And the free shipping in large orders (over $99 I think?) is a great plus.

I have also bought from Albee and really heard relatively few complaints about them. They do have a restocking fee and can be hard to reach on the phone, but that can be said of many online retailers and just something to factor into the price.

ETA: That cover (Sandbox) was a BRU exclusive last year and might mean the seat is a bit dated. Also, BRU has a $10 off every $50 coupon out right now that puts the BRU price for the EFTA LX at the same as Albee.

ETA2: If you are going through Albee, I would spend $10 more and get the good LATCH connectors on the Premier.
