標題: Refund for Avent/Playtex BPA Bottles [打印本頁]

作者: 華美子 時間: 2008-4-21 07:45 標題: Refund for Avent/Playtex BPA Bottles

收到我個mother group 的電郵:

FYI: In light of the recent confirmation by Health Canada declaring products containing BPA, London Drugs is providing refunds without receipts for products containing BPA for in-store credit (at last sale price, but the Avent products which is the most popular have not, I don't believe, ever been on sale). This speaks volumes of the repuatation and concerns for customer safety.

Toys R Us, one of the major leaders in baby products and baby registries have decided to do NOTHING because there has not been an official recall on BPA products despite recent press release by Health Canada. They will only refund products that are unused/sealed in packaging with receipts. Woopee. So much for helping moms, especially those on a fixed income. Jerks.

有朋友去左LD 退 Avent,佢話係 $6.99一個唔理咩野 size同新舊, 我今日都會去退貨。

wow, so good, I am now using a Japanese brand name bottle called "chu chu" partly because of the BPA.
I used Avent for the first few months.
If it is true, it will be great.
Please let me know after you have returned the bottles. Thanks!

今早去左 Ironwood 間 LD 退樽，我退三個 Avent 9oz 樽，一個細既 Playtex 同一pack Avent 手動 breast pump (with Avent bottles & ice pack inside)。

由於LD出售的Avent 9oz樽是一pack兩件個種，因此三個佢只收兩個。計埋Playtex同我套hand pump佢退番$85 Refund 卡比我。

一天都光晒，攞到Refund，想話去買 Born Free bottles，Toys R Us無晒，Zellers又無，度度都無，連Dr. Brown's 既大glass bottles都無晒。

好在我之前係香港買左兩個，早幾日又買左兩個 7oz既 Dr. Brown's glass bottles，暫時算啦。

作者: 華美子 時間: 2008-4-21 15:03

作者: 華美子 時間: 2008-4-21 17:45

Just went to Shoppers on cambie, there were only three pack of 260ml bottles left. I got one pack.

Thanks for your info abcvancouver.

my friend got refundf for $171 from LD. Think of how many avent bottles she had? wow...

作者: abcvancouver 時間: 2008-4-21 22:35

華美子, you are welcome.
LD on no 3 is so stupid, I had like 11 bottles of avent, including one pack with 3 avent bottles package,
and others are without box. They returned me 11.99 for each 4 bottles, and the 3 bottles with package also 11.99. I never never saw any 4 pack of avent bottles in package. On the list, it said trainer kit.
so if i bring 2 bottles there, they will return me 6.99x2, which is more than 4 bottles.

good for you. the stupid Ironwood LD only gave me $9.99 for two bottles, and refused to accept my other avent bottle. I am bring my only Avent bottle I have tomorrow to the No.3 LD.

作者: koala 時間: 2008-4-21 23:01

the LD in No.3 road refund everything. I brought my avent bottles and the breast pump to the store and got $120 back. The lady in front of me even refund those really really old avent bottles (which already have yellow stain on it), and success

作者: newmama 時間: 2008-4-22 10:13

has anyone tried it at Zellers? I heard Zellers takes Avent bottles back too. When you go refund, do you need to pretend you bought the bottles from them?

作者: 華美子 時間: 2008-4-22 11:33

they didn't even ask questions, no need to pretend.

this is so stupid. Ironwood LD refused to refund my only one Avent bottle, but the No.3 LD took it for $7.99, but they didn't take my dispsable ones.

I'm gonna try zellers today for my dispsable ones.

作者: hoici 時間: 2008-4-22 12:00

do either LD or Zellers take Dr. Brown bottles?

作者: 華美子 時間: 2008-4-22 15:09 標題: 回復 13# 的帖子

I am not sure. You can phone their customer service and ask.

they didn't take your dispsable ones because there is nothing wrong with those. there are no BPA with those material. Try to see recyle # on the bottle of the bottles, it should be "4". As far as i know, the one with #7 has the BPA problem.

作者: hoici 時間: 2008-4-22 18:55

went to metrotown toy'r'us today, they are taking back all bottles for in-store credit (including dr. brown)!!! yeah!!!

ps. zellers doesn't take dr. brown

作者: kaimui22 時間: 2008-4-22 20:33

wento zellers today..

they are taking Avent and Playtex only..
got $103 back!

作者: abcvancouver 時間: 2008-4-22 23:05

Dr. Brown also has the BPA problems? btw, do you guys have a list of the bottles with BPA?

作者: newmama 時間: 2008-4-23 09:52

review of bottles for presence of BPA

作者: 華美子 時間: 2008-4-23 11:27 標題: 回復 19# 的帖子

I think Born Free is the American version of B-Free. They are basically the same thing. B-free is BPA free. That's what it says on the box, so B-free is safe.

Does anyone know about other brands? like Gerber? Dr. Brown's? They are banned as well. Has anyone tried to take it back?

I refunded Gerber at London drugs,$5.99 each(5oz/9oz).I'am not sure they take Dr. Brown or not,but u can try

hey, someone just told me Zellers gives more store credits for Avent bottles. You know LD gives $9.99 for two, but Zellers offers $6.99 EACH no matter what size. Too bad I had mine returned to LD.

The zellers at lansdowne had these prices:

Avent small - $6.99/each
Avent large - $7.99/each
Playtex Advance any size - $5.97/each

Got the news that LD, Zellers, and certain regional Wallymart are accepting Playtex, Nuby, Avent baby products and it wasn't until just now that after reading Wa-mei-zi's posting RE: #3Rd LD accepting bottles that I just rushed out with all my baby stuff.

Got over 130 bux back with the following:

one Microwave steriliser
2 smaller Avent bottles
6 larger Avent bottles (9 Oz)
1 Playtex sippy cup
1 playtex small sippy cup
1 small Avent sippy cup
1 large Nuby sippy cup
1 small Nuby sippy cup
1 pair (still in original package) of Avent sippy cup nipples

Note: you have to haggle with the supervisor on some of the Avent products in order to get a full priced refund, otherwise, she may ended up pairing them up in packages of 2 (at least so she claimed for you have no more Avent products on LD's shelves to reference to so beware).

Not fair. I got 2 avent 9oz bottles for just $9.99.

I bought the pack of 3 avent bottles for $19.99. Now I got a refund for a total of $9.99 + $7.99 = $17.98. Two bucks difference, ok la.

Oh well, after all it is better than not getting any refund at all.

作者: 華美子 時間: 2008-4-23 22:08 標題: 回復 25# 的帖子

Wow, I got close to $100 in total only. So I guess you got the most so far among our LYK moms?

作者: abcvancouver 時間: 2008-4-23 22:49 標題: 回復 25# 的帖子

oh, you can refund nipples too? I got few boxes unopened,

作者: abcvancouver 時間: 2008-4-23 22:54 標題: 回復 27# 的帖子

I got so much refund, around 200, i got much avent bottles + 1 hand pump.
I saw ppl refund sterilizer @ toysrus, although i only sterilize new bottle now, the size for the Avent Sterilizer is only good for their own bottle, so I will return too. I bought it around 100 dollars,

作者: Quest 時間: 2008-4-24 07:57 標題: 回復 27# 的帖子

I guess I got the most refund out of all LYK moms so far.

And I think I lost about 15 bux so far (compared to the new purchase price for all the units returned). My philosophy is that while the loss is small, it is still to our advantage to be able to return them for a *partial* refund for as this BPA banning subject matter becomes more sensitive over time, the likeliness of being able to get rid of these questionable plastics will become challenging as most recycling facilities cannot handle these plastics, and the maker may not take them back based on "good-will" practice.

Loose a little bit of $$ and be able to pass the ball back to someone else in an environmentally-conscious way, what more can I ask for?

(* of course, now I need to figure out how to spend that refund I got from LD....*)

BTW: call me LYK daddy... *grin*

p.s. still has a handpump (on-loan to my wifey's sister) and a 2ndary steriliser that perhaps I can refund later this week......

作者: kerrie 時間: 2008-4-25 15:22

I got $54 store credit back from babies r us, although I only returned 6 bottles.

作者: low_B 時間: 2008-4-26 00:28
