I've never used cloth nappies before. Where should I start?
Our hire bundles are perfect for those who are new to cloth! We offer newborn hire bundles to make the beginning of your cloth journey easy and simple. If your little one is a bit older we have transition and brand trial hire bundles available in one size fits most. We stock over 14 different brands of cloth nappies to help you find which brands and styles work for you and your bub.
How long do orders take to process?
Once you have placed your order we will post your purchase within 1-3 days.
When does my hire period start? Is transit time included in my hire duration?
Your hire period does not begin until you receive your hire bundle and then you have your full hire duration to use them. Once your hire duration ends, then you will need to post them back to us within a few days. If there is a delay for some reason please get in contact. For our newborn hire bundles, you may want to book this in advance and then we will try our best to post your hire bundle 2 weeks before your due date and your hire period will not begin until the birth of your baby. If you are wishing to wait a few weeks after your babies birth to begin cloth, you can prearrange a start date with us.
How much is postage?
Hire bundle postage: postage for our hire bundles is $15 flat rate shipping, as these are quite large collections of nappies.
Retail postage: if you purchase retail items from Cloth Journey, you will only pay $10 flat rate in shipping.
