Sealer Diaper & Baby Mall: fuss free efficient service to your doorstep

Ok, this just arrived on Friday, 1 October via delivery and I just have to share this info with you.

Remember a previous post about my disgust with a hypermarket which made it difficult for me to get our usual stock of Sealer diapers? Well, it was good that it happened the way it did as I managed to get information on Sealer and found an online wholesaler who's selling it for so much cheaper - you'd have to order a pack of half a dozen, though, at RM150 only for the entire pack + RM15 delivery charge, which equals to you only paying RM27.50 per pack of 36 (L size) compared to about RM35-RM39 retail, depending on which supermarket you go to. For them to deliver it straight to your doorstep, I say that this is damn convenient!

Jada being a busy body since she probably hasn't seen a Sealer pack for awhile already...

Our discovery with the Sealer disposable diaper started when Jada was born. At that time, the goodie bag I received after I checked out of the hospital contained one trial packet of 2 Sealer diapers. I didn't think much of it since the packaging at that time looked a little weird - it was bright orange with leopard print, and so I just kept it aside until much later when I decided to give it a try.

And, I must say that I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the package because that was when I discovered how soft the diaper felt and that it was super absorbent. The diaper felt cottony plush to the touch, it has attractive, bold animal prints and the elastic band on the waist and hips felt super soft and comfortable. Jada didn't develop any reaction to it and when I saw the price of Sealer in our local Giant hypermarket, I was even more impressed that it costs lesser than the famous MamyPoko or Huggies.

The new Sealer Smart now comes with a new look and newer 'technology'.

Previously, their animal prints looked like this but I guess they have now come to a softer approach. Kinda look like strawberry milk from Dutch Lady or something ;P

The waistband is wide and unlike some diapers that look like a hikini, Sealer diapers cover the hip-area more widely.

If you'd like to give it a try, I am happy to recommend this online wholesaler because I made the purchase after 12 noon on 29 September and it arrived just 2 days later.

Giant Hypermarket @Giant Mall, KJ: Shame on You!

This post is probably so overdue. I had wanted to make it known to everyone about this issue but I was allowing some time to further observe, especially after highlighting this twice to the staff of Giant Hypermarket at Giant Mall, Kelana Jaya, PJ.

See, I love the Sealer disposable diaper. We got 2 pieces of sample from Sealer on the day Jada was born and we instantly fell in love with it. The texture boasts soft plush cottony finish and it looks super cute with animal prints all over the diaper. The size is huge in that it totally covers Jada's buttocks unlike some of the diapers in the market which is narrow in size. Best of all, it is priced very competitively - cheaper than Huggies or MamyPoko, yet works just as good.

Come to think of it, whenever Jada uses this diaper, she'd hardly get any diaper rash. In fact, there's no redness at all even after 10 hours of wear at bedtime. We're now putting her on other brands here and there since it is difficult to find Sealer except at Giant KJ just nearby where we live. Even if we do find Sealer at Cold Storage outlets, their price is so much higher that it makes better sense to just switch to another brand like MamyPoko in Giant.

So yes... we have some problems with it recently, which I believe has been going on for at least 4-5 months. See the below photos to learn why.

This photo was taken on 23 May 2010, after I felt extremely frustrated with them as I had highlighted this matter twice before. I didn't manage to complain to the store manager, though, as I always come by after office hours and their cashiers would tell me that the office is closed. What further irks me is that their cashiers are all part-timers and cannot help you at all even with a simple enquiry. Note the rack on top with Sealer packs in all sizes, except Large (L). You can see one L size at the bottom rack, very clearly and obviously displayed in only ONE unit. ONE. Why? See photo below...

There is a tear at the pack and I believe that people are not buying this due to safety and health reasons. Like come on... an opened pack may have allowed germs and bacteria into it... worse, even cockroaches! But... Giant refused to replenish their stock of L-sized Sealer diapers, probably until this particular ONE unit is sold off! We've been going there since 4-5 months back and every week when we come by for our milk/diaper shopping, we would keep seeing only this ONE unit of L size.

We're so flustered by this fact and the sales assistant we spoke to gave us a bewildered look, as if there's nothing wrong in displaying it there, and that they were out of L size diapers for Sealer, except for this one unit!

Today, I shall not keep quiet anymore because it totally irked me when I could see plenty new stocks of Sealer, in all sizes - Newborn, S, M and XL but.... where is the L size, you may ask??....

Colourful and bright packs in all sizes, no?

4 levels of diaper (you can click on the picture for larger image) and just look at the lowest rack where something is peeking out, shouting for someone to discover it... it is 2 August after my last photo opportunity with one opened pack (and 5 months since I first bumped into it)..... the below photo will explain everything....

Yes, the same pack, now not displayed very obviously, yet no sign of newer stocks of L size Sealer diapers. Now tell me if I should be less irritated.

I hope Sealer - the manufacturer/distributor can check on this matter because I find this highly unacceptable.

I mean, just because one hypermarket is able to provide customers with cheap-er goods, that doesn't mean that we, the customers, should be subjected to goods of compromised quality. In this case it is totally something unacceptable and highly unethical because it is a baby product and we all know how important it is to ensure safety, health and cleanliness of what would be used on babies. If such simple factor is being compromised just so Giant could maximise their profit, can you just imagine what you're getting from their house brands? Are they willing to risk the health and safety of their customers in order to make bigger bucks?

I am totally appalled by this.
