Oyster stock - anyone know what's going on?!

I decided on an Oyster a few months ago, and at the time nowhere had any stock, so I wanted to order it in to make sure it's here by mid August, ready for my cs on the 20th. I ordered from a local independent nursery shop so that I could actually go back to talk to a person if I had problems (a plan which backfired on me as last weekend I found out that the nursery dept within the furniture shop is due to close in a few weeks!) at the beginning of May. I phoned last week and the chassis and car seat are in, but the colour pack and apron weren't, they said they'd be in at the end of June/ beginning of July. After looking online and everywhere saying stock would be in by mid July I changed my colour pack choice to grape from claret which seemed to be in stock. Now they're saying that the colourpack is in but not the apron, and online stores are saying September for it! I know that the baby will be in the carrycot/car seat for a few months so I don't need the apron yet but I'm just wondering what's going on with Babystyle? Anyone know why they can't seem to maintain their stock levels?

Well I ordered my grape set end of may and got all of it last week. Was told 4-6 week wait so that was right in my case. Do you know when baby style actually got your order because I presume they do it all first come first served type thing, maybe the local shop didn't submit the order or something till later?

Oh actually re reading I don't think I ordered a coloured apron? The dates given online are surely going to be for new orders though? They'll do any existing ones first so potentially before that

Thanks for replying. I only changed my colour pack choice last week and that's already in so I think they do place the orders pretty quickly, it's a stock issue not a store issue I think. The only place I can find a grape apron is eBay at the moment! I may collect the rest before it's in though, I want the car seat ready and to have a good play with the pram.

I love looking at mine Grin I have just put the seat unit out the way straight away though, feels weird but will use carrycot for ages. I got the babysafe car seat and we're going to work out how to fit it all this weekend. (though I'm due Sunday so better learn quick!)

Good luck for your imminent arrival! Grin We went for the Babysafe too.
