Per their FB page, there was a strike at the port & JJB just got their shipment yesterday. They will start shipping to their etailers no later than 7/12. So no reviews until the end of next week at the earliest.

Bummer. Thanks for the update though. I'll have to bump this post next week.

Did you order one?

Yeah. I got a BFF. I couldn't resist. (ok fine, and a mighty be & a new be quick) Shh...

If you ordered from an etailer (I did), it wouldn't come to you earlier than 2 weeks =(

I ordered from shopjujube.com. That means I should get it sooner, right?

Hahaha! We ordered the same exact thing! In what pattern did you get yours? I got the BFF and Be quick in Marvelous Mums, and a Might Be in Shadow Waltz. Like you, I couldn't resists. DH does not know that I ordered them already. :D I'll just tell him it's my birthday present to myself.

I don't care if he's upset. We have a new deal. I get x amount of spending money monthly that I do not have to be accountable to him for. It was just easier that way. After that, I have to justify it (or if it's something I shouldn't have had to pay for, he will reimburse me).

I will admit that I got the BFF and Mighty Be in Marvelous Mums & the Be quick in shadow waltz.

You should get yours soon. It says that the pre-orders are shipping the week of 7/5. How exciting!

I really want to hear your reviews of the BFF. I want a new bag in the worst way and am trying to decide between the Be Fabulous & the new BFF.

What do you all think???

that was before the port strike. they sent an email last week saying it might not ship until the 12th.

they are almost exactly the same bag. The BFF has backpack straps, a grab handle, and outer pockets that hold bottles/sippies better. It is made of their regular material. It is $50 less than the Be Fabulous.

The Be Fabulous doesn't have anything I mentioned above, but it is made of Earth Leather.

You should get it around the same time the retailers get it. Depending on where you live, you could get it as early as Friday next week.

I live within an hour from JJB but didn't order from them... I'll have to pay for shipping ANd taxes on top of the retail price. Boo!

No taxes here. I ordered from them because they had the preorders up first. Last time I ordered a new product, I was waitlisted because I didn't order early enough.

Too bad there is no JJB store for you locals.

Okay, I just got an email that my order shipped. It will probably take most of the week, considering that they are in CA & I am in MI. I will keep y'all posted.

Neither can I. I wish they had sent tracking information. If I knew it wasn't coming until day x, I would be far more patient.

Grrr.... No. (I heard a rumor that they sent out all their shipping notices at the beginning of the week, but not everything necessarily got shipped on the 12th. That might be the problem. Whatever. I'll just be patient.)

They're checking for me whether my order actually shipped. They had a lot of orders. Mine might be shipping this week. Will keep posted.

Has anyone seen the new patterns at BBB or other B&M stores? I will be at BBB tomorrow (a special occasion, the closest one to me is over an hour away) and I am hoping to catch a glimpse or even better, to buy one!

I think Nordstrom & the etailers were first getting them at the same time as the shopjujube people. Which means that they either shipped last week or today. So I guess it depends.

My order shipped today by UPS Ground. So maybe by the end of the week.

Scheduled delivery 7/23.

I can't wait as well. I'm so excited, mine shipped today via USPS Priority mail. I got the notification yesterday.

I haven't seen the patterns in real life. I have been to Nordstrom recently and have not seen them there. Haven't seen them on their online store either.

I was at Nordstrom today. I didn't see a single JJB bag. Only PPBs.

I don't know how to load pics. I went with a solid instead of a pattern. The bag is so roomy and a great size!

I'll be nice to you & mention that UPS won't be here until late afternoon. Sometime between 3-6.

I'm very excited to see 'out for delivery' on the UPS tracking website.

Nope. It's a common mistake though. We are on Eastern time year round.

Mine is on its way as well, it says "in transit to destination". USPS will be here by noon, we'll see if he brings the package. I can't wait. Lucky east coast, you are 3 hours ahead of me! :) Fun!

swissair81
07-23-2010, 09:57 AM
If USPS will be by you at noon, you may still have yours before me. UPS apparently doesn't like my block as much as Fed Ex does.

I got my SW BFF yesterday! I loooooooove it! I used to be in love with GG... but this is my favorite print of all time! It's so gorgeous... the black and white with the hint of hot pink.

I'm going to have to return this though... I'm bothered by print placement issues so I'm hoping to get something decent for the next one.

But I can't to start using it!

What do you mean by the print placement?

pastrygirl
07-23-2010, 02:00 PM
Print placement refers to how the print sits -- are the swirls centered, etc. I can see how it would make a difference on the BFF! I just got my SW BeQuick and the placement is just about centered. It looks great!!

I also got a MM Be Quick, and while I like it, I love SW much more. I hope I can get a BFF at some point, but I have to scrounge up something to sell...

swissair81
07-23-2010, 02:09 PM
My BFF is here. Just gotta find my camera. I love the MM. I also got 2 be quicks- Lotus Lullaby & Shadow Waltz. I think I'm going to sell my Be Fab. The BFF is much lighter AND it has backpack straps.

Thanks TwoBees! I would love to take credit but it's either one of two things: 1.) I have an awesome camera 2.) You have an awesome computer monitor :)

Glad you liked the pictures. I really like the configuration of the BFF and the number of pockets.

I totally could have used the Mighty Be 3 weeks ago when I took DC to the movies (Toy Story 3). The tote I brought was not big enough!

I will have to wash my JJB BRB and transfer its contents into the BFF. I will post more pictures when I am able to repack my new diaper bag.

I was going to, but I have the same exact bag that is pictured. I got a BFF in MM. So I thought my pics would kind of be redundant. As for reviews, I haven't gotten to use it yet.

For those of you that have the BFF, how is it as a backpack? I was about to order it from Amazon but read some negative reviews about it in backpack mode, which is how I wanted to use it most of the time (something about how it doesn't really lay flat on your back, and the top sort of tips outward?)

I LOVE my BFF. It is the perfect size. I feel like I am an over packer although lately I have been pairing down....anyhow I love all the pockets and all the organization. The insulated pockets keep drinks super cold! The inside pockets are expandable and they have pockets in all corners of the bag. You can check out how I've packed mine in the past...

http://www.ju-ju-be.com/PinkRoom2/viewtopic.php?f=124&t=103890

I pack it somewhat different now but if you look around the JJB Pinkroom they have other examples of it all packed up.

I also feel like it would be a great "mommy bag" for years to come.
