Stress-free shopping .... online and local

ONLINE and local – Slaithwaite nursery goods specialist Bebe Amor is aiming for the best of both worlds.

After a hugely successful first six months as an internet store, venturing into more traditional retailing was a logical next step. With 7,000 sq ft of floor space available at its warehouse, the company seized the opportunity to create two large showrooms – one for pushchairs, buggies, car seats and the like, the other devoted to nursery furniture.

Customers visiting in person can enjoy the same low prices as those shopping online, with the added advantage of some good old fashioned ‘touch and feel’ browsing before buying and helpful, friendly staff on hand to advise and answer any questions face-to-face. As the warehouse is located on site, many items are in stock and you may be able to take your goods home the very same day.

The showrooms will offer a superb choice of products by leading manufacturers including Silver Cross, Quinny and Maclaren (wheeled goods - pushchairs, buggies etc), Izziwotnot (furniture/bedding/curtains) and Cosatto (furniture and pushchairs).

Bebe Amor – Spanish for ‘baby love’ – is a vibrant new business which has grown out of several years’ experience within the nursery industry of its two sister companies – a well-established transport-haulage company and a flatpack furniture assembly service.

The baby of the family, Bebe Amor uses its group connections to full advantage to offer a unique service to its customers. Goods are delivered – and furniture assembled – free of charge. From the point of purchase, the entire history of your order stays in-house and can be tracked by customer services.

The team includes several mums and dads who are only too well aware that buying baby goods can be a confusing and even stressful experience. At Bebe Amor

the whole approach is geared to help you make the best possible choices by making shopping more relaxed and hopefully stress-free.

Free delivery is another big plus and the furniture assembly service will be nothing short of a lifesaver for those of us who turn into gibbering wrecks at the very mention of the word ‘flatpack’ after several past disasters. Fully trained, experienced staff will ensure each item of furniture is assembled correctly and safely. Expert help is also at hand with the sometimes tricky business of fitting a child car seat - just ask any member of staff in store.

Bebe Amor has quickly made its mark as one of the biggest online stockists of nursery goods. Visit the website www.bebe-amor.co.uk to see the vast range of goods which will now also be available in the showrooms at Slaithwaite – everything from high chairs and carrycots to stair gates and play gyms, to bedding and clothing.

Within each category, you will generally find a much wider choice of products than offered by other retailers with some of the cheapest prices around, including eight or nine different room sets, and seven or eight types of cot.

The new showrooms are just a few minutes drive from Huddersfield and surrounding areas at Unit 2, Viaduct Works, near the fire station and swimming pool in Slaithwaite village centre.
