diaper booboo…

i have been an EQ Dry  user since jared was 4 months, a good mummy friend of mine, who also happens to be jared’s godmother, jannai, gave me a  pack as a baptismal gift so i can try it.  her baby jolo is also using the same brand. it was the best for my baby (hiyang in our vernacular), gone are the dappy leak so i’m sure that my son is getting enough sleep every night, and the nasty rash that he got from other nappies we’ve tried. happy baby equals happy mummy and everything seems rosy!

in may am only too glad when i found out that they are having  the EQ Dry Baby’s 1st Chair and Desk promo.  i’ll be hitting two birds with one stone you see.  my problem on how to dispose of the diaper packagings is solved plus i can get a premium item in return. it’s all good!i only need to collect 42 points worth of diaper packaging and am all set. a fellow SP mommy, Irish, even gave me 10-point worth of packs and am very greatful.

i sent the parcel thru jrs express last july 30, just in time for the promo’s deadline, bearing in mind that i will only have to wait a month for my premium items to arrive, i’m delighted that the parcel will arrive just in time for jared’s 1st birthday, it couldn’t get any better than that, right?

so i waited, one, two, three days passed, and what do you know a month passed and no sign of my parcel from the postman…i’ve waited two months or so after i finally resigned and convinced my self that probably my parcel got lost in transit! then i checked the SP Forum and found out i wasn’t the only one. in fact, a lot of mummies were wondering where have all our premium items gone! one even checked with jsunitrade but was greeted by a non-enthusiastic personnel. how sad and irresponsible is that?!

then the other day, i was facebooking (yes, i think this is an actual word) and saw a widget of eq diapers on my sidebars and it piqued my interest so i hurry on to the page. it turned out EQ Diapers has just recently joined Facebook and they have also recently came out with a website of their own, EQ Diapers.

i posted a comment on their wall asking about my premium items and they quickly get back to me saying they will send a message to address the concern.  and after a while they posted this on their wall :

Thank You for joining EQ Dry Baby’s 1st chair and Desk redemption promo. We are sorry for the delay of the delivery of your premium item/s. Rest assured that all your entries are being processed. Please expect the delivery of you premium item/s between 1st to 3rd week of December 2010.

now at least we still have reason enough to wait and not harass the postman suspecting he decided to bring home our parcel and we can now sit back thinking that the precious time and effort we give to the promo will not go to waste. so sit back mummies and let’s wait some more..

Plus, in celebration of their newly established website, EQ Diaper invites you to become a member of  EQ Club. i’ve attached the registration form here. the first 100 members win special gift packs plus your baby get to have the EQ club card, so sign up now and let us see how they fair on this one…
