So.....I have always said that if I have a little girl I want a white crib. I don't know what it is about them but I am a sucker for them! Mark and I had been searching everyday for weeks for a gently used crib on Craigslist and after sending many emails of interest in the ones that I thought were the "one" we finally found one in Tacoma. We got ahold of the seller and agreed to meet and take a look at it. We got there and it was what I had been looking for. Very gently used and white...yipee!! We packed it up and headed home. Mark started setting it up and while I did some research on it. It was a Jardine (don't gasp yet)and I knew I could find some info on it. Well you could say I found some info on it....it was on the stupid recall list for "entrapment and strangulation of infants". WHAT THE HECK!!!! Seriously....and there is no way, no way, this lady was going to take it back. I doubt she would have even answered the phone when we called. So I read about the recall wondering if there was anything that we could do. Well there was....there recall was extended because of the number of cribs that were involved (the recall came out July 2008) and it didn't require proof of purchase/receipts/ anything stating that you were the original owner. SCORE!!
So what the heck...you know we sent in an email and not even 5 minutes later we got a reply. Instructions and a prepaid Fed Ex label to send all the hardware back. A week later we got the voucher for a NEW CRIB!!!! Total voucher was for $351.99 and we paid $115 on Craiglists for what I thought was my dream crib. Here is what just got delivered today!!!!!
