Re: shopping baby stuff online
where do you live ? It depends, you'll have to do your research and a lot of the websites won't deliver internationally.

^ living in middle east
also tell of there is any reliable website specially for middle easterns
Re: shopping baby stuff online
i think most sites do actually offer worldwide shipping now. its probably the same as far as the cost of the goods is concerned, but you'll be paying shipping on top of that which will probably make it expensive.
try giggle.com -- i'm not sure if they ship to the middle east, but its a great site for baby stuff.
also the strollers at pishposhbaby.com quite often go on sale and you can get really good deals there.
since you are in the middle east, also look into mamasandpapas.com and mothercare.com. maybe you can have them ship to the mamas and papas and mothercare stores in the middle east for free (some stores offer that option) and then you can just pick up your things from there when they arrive.
best to call their customer service and confirm. and don't forget to check and see if any warranties will still be valid if you shop online and how long for. i know we opted to get our baby stroller from a local store here because even though it was cheaper in the US, safety standards are different between the US and Canada and warranties would not be applicable should something go wrong. and in fact, because of different safety standards, you can't even buy and bring over a car seat from the US to Canada either.

Re: shopping baby stuff online
walmart.com(usa) doesnt even ship to canada, why will they ship to middle-east. And shipping is super expensive. i sent a few parcels to my sis n just few clothes cost $200 , if u hav box it will around $400. plus the many more different web sites u use the many time u'll b paying shipping. so ur stuff won't cost u as much as shipping will. don't u hav a toysrus/babiesrus there?
Re: shopping baby stuff online
^aww shipping is too expensive....
automne77 Aramex seems good
Re: shopping baby stuff online
walmart.ca exists, so walmart.com doesn't have to ship here :D
