My item shipped very quickly and I received it about 3 days after I ordered it! It came in an extra protected box as well! Very pleased with my purchase!
Good experience
Item arrived just as described. Couldn’t be happier.
I appreciated the detailed description
I appreciated the detailed description, I knew I was getting a floor model and it came in perfect shape at a much reduced cost. When I thought the cupholders weren't included, I reached out to them and then we found them and they were very responsive and thankful that I let them know. Everything is fine.
I purchased a glider
I purchased a glider. It was described accurately, shipping was fast and price was great!
Perfect
Everything arrived exactly as expected.
Quick response
Ordered a gate prior to this one, UPS lost it on route. I reached out to Kidsy via email and they secured a refund from UPS. Was hesitant to order again, but I couldn't find the gate at a more reasonable price. 2nd order arrived with no issues. Gate is sturdy and the dog (Husky) hasn't gotten through it (he's an escape artist). Quick delivery from start to finish.
Love Kidsy!
I’ve ordered a few items from Kidsy now and all have been great.

Found an item still in its original packaging for 2/3 of the original pricing.

Highly recommend
A friend told me about Kidsy and I’ve already ordered twice.
Great, trustworthy experience
Great deals, easy checkout with lots of payment options, shipped very quickly, and everything was packed well and looked exactly as it was described! I didn't end up needing any intervention with my shipping experience but appreciate the option to cover lost packages for a minimal fee, especially as we get into the late and lost package holiday season. I'll definitely be getting more of my baby gear from Kidsy.

Kidsy Customer Service Review
Kidsy had a great selection of deeply discounted baby gates. Unfortunately, there was a piece missing when I received my package. I didn't realize it until after the 14 day return/exchange window. But I reached out, and they were willing to send me the piece anyway at no extra charge. I really appreciated the customer service.

Community opinion on Absolute Flash balancing praise and critique
It’s been really great, especially with the focus on Wally’s anxiety... The first couple issues are a bit slow, but I think it picks up... I can’t help but feel like it’s not as strong as Absolute Batman or Martian Manhunter... The Rogues being cops is a known concept for Flash fans.

Detailed review highlighting Wally's anxiety and artistic strengths
I think the anxiety angle really worked. The way his thoughts are overlapping and fast... The art is stunning, too. Nick Robles and the colors are just incredible. It really does a great job of setting the tone... This is a fantastic first issue.

Discussion praising the reimagined origin and artistic tone
I loved it. Lemire really understands Wally... The whole tone is so creepy and weird... I loved the decision to not make it the Speed Force, but something more mysterious... The art and colors are incredible.

Comparison between Absolute Green Lantern and Absolute Flash
I haven’t read Absolute Flash yet, but I’m liking GL so far... I found Flash to be just okay. Not bad, but not my favorite... It’s a solid start, but I'm not as hooked as I was with Batman.

Positive reception for Absolute Flash's fresh take on the character
Really enjoying it. I love this take on the Flash... Wally is such a great lead and the horror elements are awesome... I just love how different it is while still feeling like Flash.
