If you’ve been to Richwell Trading’s annual Kids Kraze Warehouse Sale events in the previous years like me, I’m sure that the 2011 schedule is something that you’ve been anxiously waiting for.

The Kids Kraze Warehouse Sale is an event where Richwell Trading, the leading distributor of branded children’s products in the Philippines such as Barbie, Chicco, Pigeon, Leapfrog, HotWheels, VTech, Disney to name a few, offers toys, baby products, shoes and clothes at greatly discounted prices.  Last year, it was up to 80% off.

Many moms and kids anticipate this mega sale event and often each of the given dates are jam-packed.  Items on display runs out fast but it gets replenished from time to time.  However, it’s best to grab the item fast because you might return to an empty rack the moment you decide to come back for it.  The queue on the cashier and checkout lanes are also always a blockbuster.  What shoppers usually do is that they bring a companion with them to fall in line immediately in the counter while they shop around.

So without further ado, here’s the schedule of the Kids Kraze Warehouse Sale 2011 as posted on the Facebook Fan Page of Richwell Club yesterday, October 17.

Do note that they have transferred already to their new venue at #34 Scout Torillo corner Scout Limbaga, Quezon City.  They used to be located along Calle Industria in Libis.   The nearest landmark is Jade Valley Restaurant.  I’m quiet familiar with the place and it’s just easily accessible.  I just hope that it won’t rain heavily on the sale dates because Timog Avenue (especially on that part) is low leveled and easily gets flooded (so there..you have been informed! hehe!).  Getting there via a polaris ranger power steering ATV might be a good alternative ride.  From EDSA (GMA7), the easiest way to get there is to pass through Timog Avenue towards Tomas Morato.  Turn left to Scout Torillo, the last main street before reaching the Rotonda.

So better block off your calendars mommies and daddies!

Dates:

November 11, 12, 18, 19, 25, 26

December 2 – 4, 9 – 11, 16-20

Time:

Saturdays & Sundays – 9:00 am to 6:00 pm

I have already informed the husband about this and as I’d just have given birth by then, he will just go by himself to buy our kids their Christmas presents for this year. 

You can buy just about anything online these days. From a Mikimoto pearl necklace to a 1969 Chevy Corvette, just about anything is available with a simple click of the mouse. Here’s a few tips to help keep you shopping happily online.
1.  Check the shipping.
Shipping costs can be a huge issue online. Sometimes, shipping charges cost even more than the actual product that you’re purchasing. So, before you buy anything, research things a little. If it’s something that you can drive a few miles to purchase, and the price is comparable, then just get off your butt and do it! There’s no need to order things online when a store down the street has them in stock. If you can’t avoid the shipping, then make sure you compare shipping costs on alternate sites. Some may be offering free shipping while others charge an arm and a leg.
2.  Shop around.
Just like shipping costs, item prices can vary from site to site. Make sure that, before you purchase anything, you are getting the lowest price possible. The best way I’ve found to do this is by typing the exact product name into a Google search. That will pull up numerous shopping results that will give you a variety of pricing options. Just look for the one with the best deal and go for it! But remember, still be cautious with your credit card info.
3.  Be cautious.
Make sure that the site you are using to make your purchases is a trusted site. Always look for a VeriSign trusted seal or something along those lines. You never want to put your credit card information (or banking information for that matter) in any sort of email or other message. This is the easiest way to get your identity stolen. If you can, purchase a prepaid credit card to keep you even more secure.
