Frequently Asked Questions
Here are a few questions moms have asked us in the past.
If you ask something new, which we think is significant, we would add it here too. We welcome questions.
What is Mothersbond Pay Gradually?
Pay Gradually is an option from Mothersbond that gives you the opportunity to get ALL your essential baby items (from the items we stock) and pay gradually over a period of up to 9 months with no interest. You also have the possibility of getting some cash back if you complete your payment earlier than expected. Its sometimes referred to as MPG for short.
Are there any entry requirements?
Yes, just a few…
1. Copy of Government Issued ID card with clear picture. (National ID card, Voters card or international Passport) (PURPOSE of this is to know your full name).
2. Be pregnant or planning to get pregnant soon. Having a baby recently might also qualify but we have stopped shipping items until payment is complete. Perhaps you have a baby and will need the items maybe when baby is some months old. In that case, Yes!
Can I order only a single item and pay gradually?
Must payments be made on monthly basis?
Yes, you need to make your agreed payment monthly. If you feel you can pay more than once in a month, you are welcome to do so.
I took several items, and now I got them as a gift during my baby shower, I no longer need them. Can I drop some items?
Yes you can swap items, so long the items have not been used. We would not make a refund, sorry. But will work with you to balance off with a swap for any other items you may need from our list.
Why do you focus only on products used from birth to one year old?
Primarily because that is where the actual bonding process begins, and that is where the financial pressure is felt the most as there is so much buying and immediate spending, including actual birthing (hospital) costs.
Who bears the cost for delivery?
Can a customer pickup items from your location?
Yes but this has to be prearranged at the time of order as the total invoice amount will be calculated together.
After I finish payments, how long before I receive my items and cashback?
Goods are delivered usually between 24-48 hours in Lagos, and up to 72 hours outside Lagos. If we envisage any delays such as items go out of stock, we would inform you.
Do you charge any interests or hidden charges?
No. All our fees are transparent. Under normal circumstances, when you make purchases using periodic payments, you should pay a premium, but for now, at Mothersbond, the price remains the same if paying outright, or paying gradually. We however charge a fee for delivery.
How do I know how much my total bill is?
Immediately we receive your order, we would compute the total of your order based on selected items, delivery fee and anything else. Once this is concluded, prices will not change again.
What happens if after I have my baby, I find out some issues with the items?
We rarely have this issue but it can occur. Please endeavor to mention this immediately you notice it, we would change it immediately. If already in use, we would replace it at a very small cost to you.
Do you make swaps or changes for items?
Yes, for certain products but customer pays the applicable costs, after we understand the compelling reason thats making a swap necessary.
Any warranties?
Our products are made to the highest possible standards and built to last long. We also test them to be sure they are working perfectly before sending to our precious customers. However, things can get damaged by mistake or seem not to be working for a variety of reasons for example if not set up correctly. We would do our very best to resolve the issues QUICKLY, and if we find valid and compelling reason to replace a component or make a change, we would do so but customer bears the cost of the change or spare parts. Bear in mind that these are usually a fractional (very small) costs. Delivery fees also apply.
How do I get some cash back?
You qualify for some cashback if you meet all the following requirements
- Finish Your Payments before baby arrives
- Make a purchase of at least
N50,000, excluding delivery costs. - Select option 1, where goods are only sent after payments are complete.
What is the guarantee that after making regular payments, this wouldn't turn out to be a well designed scam because it all seems well packaged?
Mothersbond is a known company and we have been serving new moms in Nigeria for many years. Most people have heard about us in one way or another. If you are only hearing about us for the first time, then we are pleased to make your acquaintance.
All payments are into the bank account of Mothersbond Limited, not to any individual/person.
Each year, we are audited by an independent (CITN certified) external auditor and our financial records are filed with the relevant tax authorities in government and so we are not some unknown brand set up to defraud unsuspecting new moms.
And in this era of social media and easy online search, you can get social proof or detailed information about any company to know if they are involved in any shady activity.
