hiya just wondering has anyone shopped from the Glasgow Pram Centre? I was planning to go up to the shop tomorrow to purchase a pram and was wondering do I get to take it away that day or do I need t have it delivered?

If anyone could help that would be great as it would save me a trip if they deliver regardless of whether I order in store or online

Thanks x

Free delivery within three working days on all UK orders over £49.99.
Orders under £49.99 will be subject to a handling/shipping charge of £5.99 (subject to stock availability).

Put your feet up an order!

oh and visiting the shop at the weekend is an absolute NIGHTMARE, packed with what seems like entire families, with long waits to get advice. However, they DO take internet best prices for their price matching, if you bring a print out along (my friend did this for her buggy/travel system and they matched the price-almost £100 quid off!). the crowds put me off, but because of their great deals and the John Lewis price matching promise as well, in January, you could get the Maxi Cosi car seat for FREE when buying a quinny or similar...

yes, they did internet price match for us and we took our pushchair away on the day. it's a fab centre!

YesSirICanBoogie · 22/02/2009 22:03

It is fab. Some prams have to be ordered. Ours was in stock so we took it away that day. As far as I know they'll deliver your pram for free if itr has to be ordered. We also ordered furniture which arrived on time and was assembled by them too. I've just ordered furniture from the Mamas and Papas website and it arrived 4 days later than expected by some very grumpy men! I'd highly recommenbd the Pram Centre.

We got our Maclaren Techno XT from there, drove away with it in car boot.

TeenyTinyToria · 22/02/2009 23:10

We bought our pram there and took it away the same day.

We just went back with the two year old pram to get a new handle (it had snapped under ds's weight ) and they fixed it for a tenner and gave it a full maintenance check as well.

Highly recommend them.

DaveTheHairyHandedTrucker · 22/02/2009 23:12

is it still going?

i am sure i read somewhere it had gone

MintChocAddict · 22/02/2009 23:18

Pretty sure they're still going. Had only good experiences with them. Good service and delivery.
Agree with logrrl - weekdays would be better. Parking a total nightmare and if getting car seat fitted or to check if pram will fit in boot before buying you really need to be parked outside. We were parked at the top of the road just slightly out of site and they couldn't check the fit until we could get a space outside.

TeenyTinyToria · 22/02/2009 23:25

Yep, still going. I was there on Saturday!

nelix2000 · 23/02/2009 10:24

we bought a pram from there, got it same day! also fot £250 off ticket price as we took the display model! nothing wrong with it at all!!!!

lauraloo09 · 23/02/2009 19:13

Hiya all thanks for the replies

I went to the centre and bought my pram a quinny buzz 4 and ended up saving nearly £150, a nightmare fitting all parts in my boot, but so happy i got to take it away today and the staff were quite helpful

i really rate GPC for price and after service

needsomesleepplease · 24/02/2009 21:54

I think that shop is inteneded to put you into early labour!! Dont get me wrong the price and choice are great but if you are looking for someone to help you or to order something i suggest you take a tent and a flask of tea!!
But as i said price and choice has us all hooked and thats why we all go back time and time again!!

mamadiva · 24/02/2009 22:05

I bought my M&P 03 Sport in thre and it was £30 cheaper than anywhere else, the staff were fab, they built it for us on the spot and we just took it home on the train.

Would defo rate, it depends if they ahve what you are looking for in stock, we wanted a Nipper and they said it would tae 6-8 weeks free delivery to house or pick up from store but we needed it there and then.

Think the gpc is fabulous and the guy that dealt with me Keith i think he was called is just the most GORGEOUS guy i have ever met
