All in one nappy by imse vimse

I need to buy these nappies as a present for a relative.
So far the best price is this: (£47.45 for 4 including delivery)
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ALL-IN-ONE-NAPPY-BY-IMSE-VIMSE-SPECIAL-OFFER-42-50_W0QQitemZ140401042030QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Baby_Baby_Changing_Nappies_LE?var=&hash=item66722e8b8f

They are bl00dy expensive! But it's the brand the mum wants, so it's got be the these.
Any advice on where I can find them cheaper (tried Amazon as well)?

    Wow that is expensive. No help here sorry i've never seen these before but looking at the link you've provided i'd message the seller if i was you to make sure that it is 4 your getting in the price, it doesn't actually say just cleverly worded. lookin like £42.50 plus p&p each and a 5% discount if you buy more than 3.

    Have you tried Babykind? I've ordered from them before and the customer service is excellent and the prices are competitve...

    yes it says that at the bottom, but further up in the listing it says:

    THIS ITEM IS EXCLUDED FROM THE 5% DISCOUNT OFFER


    ..so I would double check that as well. It does seem alot for one nappy though!

    Thank you, but unfortunately they are more expensive than ebay.

    Nearly 50 quid for one would be theft! The price I gave is for 4. Still not cheap, but have to go along with it.

    Agreed, but like Lexie says, the listing is worded in such a way that its not clear. the title is singular, and the details just say 'available singly or in packs of 4' by the price you could assume its 4, but I would want confirmation before I paid!

    Not saying she is out to scam, not at all, but it needs to be clearer.

    Ive seen lots of threads on the ebay sub forum about 'ambiguous' descriptions.

    It certainly looks to me as if it's £47odd for one nappy.

    Is it just me, though, who thinks it's really rude of the mother to specify that she wants this brand of nappy as a present?

    I wouldn't have dreamed of being so grasping when my children were small - I was thankful for anything people chose to give. And I certainly wouldn't have spent £50 on one nappy, let alone expected anyone else too.

    I'm quite shocked, to be honest.

    Once you have clicked Buy It Now it makes it very clear, when you choose the colour it states 4 (or 2+2 if you want to mix them).

    Has anyone got any suggestions about where I can find them cheaper, or do I have to fork out that much money?
