Baby box - Scotland

I applied for my baby box a while back now, about a month maybe (?), but haven't heard anything back about it.

When I done with my first my midwife sent the form off for me so I happily assumed all was OK but this time I had to fill in and post it myself so I'm concerned it's gone missing in the post.

Can I check the progress of the application anywhere?

Meant to add, I tried to contact the telephone number on the website but it rang out, I left a message but have had no reply

I’m not sure if you can check, but mine took a while to come through, they send you a text when they are due to deliver. I posted my form off as soon as midwife gave it to me and didn’t get my box till I was 34 weeks.

I posted mine on the way home from the midwife appointment so I didn't forget about it. I guess I just need to have some faith in the postal system! (in my area lately though its been a bit sh*t with things getting lost and turning up late etc)

I rember getting a confirmation email from them when my application was processed, but that depends on whether or not you put an email address down. It arrived somewhere between 32-34 weeks.

This was quite recent as my baby is 7 weeks. What I will say is the clothes are lovely! We didn't know if we were having a boy or a girl (we had a boy!) and struggled to find nice neutral clothes that weren't just plain white. Some really pretty clothes in there that I love putting him in!

Did you receive an email that they recieved your form? I received an email a few weeks after it was sent off.

I thought you get the box 4 weeks before baby is born which would work out to be Christmas week for me (36 weeks). Do you think id get it earlier?

I didn’t get an email but mine arrived on week 34, not sure if that helps?

I sent mine off quite a while ago, maybe 8 weeks ago? I haven't heard anything and I'm 31 weeks.

They don’t usually send them out until you’re past 32 weeks so it’s maybe just a bit early for yours. It will probably come in the next few weeks.

Ours arrived last week, will be 34 weeks tomorrow. I hadn't heard anything until a day before it arrived when I got a text from Parcelforce.
