A better Amazon welcome box

shmarpler · June 2017

For those of you who missed out on the Amazon welcome box, it is back. Plus, this one looks even better than the "good" box I got.

so thanks @shmarpler I spent all evening trying to find something on amazon to order just so I can add it to my registry and get this box.... and now I have a cart totaling $200+ and none of it I really "need"! LOL

shmarpler · June 2017

Lol!

Thanks for the heads-up! How does it work again? You have to be a prime member, right?

shmarpler · June 2017

Yeah. And you (or someone else) have to make a $10 purchase of your registry. Once you do that, you can order the welcome box.

But the order has to be shipped!!! I learned that one after returning to my registry 20 times today... Good news is I narrowed the purchase down to $65! And I think the 3 pack of nursing cardigans and a nice nursing dress will be worth it!

Yes. And you can't live in Alaska because Amazon is dumb. There is no reason shipping should be more expensive to Alaska.

Yes! Thanks for the reminder. I had forgotten about that.

Do you have a friend or family member who could relay it to you?

DH is from AK.

Yea, but I don't care enough to set it up. Also, I no longer have Prime. I was running into serious issues with their processing times. They'd take two weeks just to get an item in the mail, but that doesn't count toward not getting an item within the Prime window because that only counts actual shipping time. So basically, I wasn't getting what I was paying for, and I can still get stuff shipped for free as long as I make a big enough order, so I decided it wasn't worth it. I know a lot of other people complaining about the same issue with their "processing" times, where the item would be purchased and just sitting there preparing for shipping for days or weeks.

Yeah, we had some problems with that around Christmas. My husband's gift took almost two months to arrive.

Thanks for the info, @shmarpler @huzzahuzza @lovesclimbing

Also, I use my old college email for my account to get prime, but it's the student prime version, which I just learned won't count for this. Lame.

Bummer.

@MrsCaliRN mine worked and it's a student account... I just claimed my box!!! (Since my other box will be destroyed later this month... hahahahaha)

MrsCaliRN · June 2017

Thanks for letting me know it worked for you, @huzzahuzza I'm going to call customer service; maybe there's something more going on. I want my box!
