We would be offering your choice of brand name diasposable diapers(Pampers, Huggies & Luvs). The weekly rate will include the home delivery fee so there would be no hidden charges. Does this sound reasonable?

It really depends on the age of the baby. For a newborn going through 10 to 12 (or more) diapers per day it could be a great deal for the parent, but for an older baby who only uses anywhere between 5 and 7 per day it could be costly. If you manage to hang on to your clients for the entire diaper period then yes an average figure might work out for you, but chances are not everyone will end up sticking it out for the full period of time. You should probably base your price on the number of diapers required per week or the age of the baby. Otherwise it could be good for a parent as they would save on gas and time by using such a service. You'll also want to consider how far out you're willing to deliver. For example I live on the absolute outskirts within the city limits, but I'd be hard pressed to find anyone willing to deliver diapers to my door for the same price as someone living 'in town'. As such though I might be willing to consider such as idea as it really is a hassle running out when I do (which is why I use cloth). Good luck.

How many diapers does that include? I did the math and that would be reasonable if it were around 56 diapers a week (8 per day). That would be around .22 per diaper (approximate retail cost in bulk) plus a little bit of profit. Does that sound about right to you? If that's the amount you were going for I think it sounds just fine. I personally wouldn't have diapers delivered since I have to go to the grocery store every week anyway, but I'm sure there are plenty of people who would. Good luck to you and I hope your business is profitable!

No, it sounds outrageous, assuming that the price you name is the delivery charge, and that cost does not include the diapers. If it includes the diapers, I can't image you would even break even. So either way, I can't see that business taking off.

I don't know of 1 child that would go through 13 bucks worth of disposable diapers a week.

it does sound reasonable considering that a baby goes through about that amount of diapers in a week.

what it sounds is impossible, even if you mail them to their house. also, women love to shop and that's their time out of the house which is needed during post partum, you will be asking them to give up their "me" time. is that a wise thing to do? personally I think you are another e-toys waiting to expire
