1st recurring invoice

Your first 4 weeks of service are non-refundable (though you may transfer unused weeks of service to a friend or pause to use at a later date). We will deliver your initial set of diapers 1 to 2 weeks before your due date. Your service is activated on your first pick-up date. Recurring billing is every 4 weeks on a Monday which covers service for the 4 week period beginning on the Invoice Date. Depending on when you activate your service your first invoice will be pro-rated for the remaining weeks in the billing period. (For example, if your first pick up is on 4/11 your initial purchase is for service on 4/11, 4/18, 4/25, 5/2. On 5/1 you will be charged for 75% of service for the remaining 3 weeks in the billing period). You have 4 weeks from your due date to activate service, each week after will incur a 7% of monthly service rental fee. On your first invoice, we will ask you to set up an ACH Debit payment method for your recurring charges, you also have the option to set-up a credit card with auto-pay for a 2% fee.

payment method options

When purchasing initial service through our website, you will be asked to set up a credit card on file to be used for recurring payments as a back up. On your first invoice, we will ask you to set up an ACH debit for your recurring payment to help us lower costs associated with credit card fees. We have outlined the different systems below:


ACH Debit Payment

We use Gocardless for our ACH debit billing (direct bank account payment). This was implemented in 2019 to reduce the fees associated with credit cards for recurring payments. While we do encourage customers to sign up, it is optional. If this is your payment method, you will receive an email from [email protected] two days before payment is drafted from your account (check your junk mail). The charge will show up on your bank statement as "Gocardless- Delivery ST - XXXX" or something like "GC<>DELIVERY ST ...." To change your ACH debit account, email us directly.

Failed payments are subject to a $4 fee.
Credit Card Payment

The credit card associated with your account on our website will be used for recurring credit card payments as back up only. On your first recurring invoice, you will be asked to set-up a new payment method. Credit card payments are subject to a 2% processing fee. ACH Debit payments have no fee. Please make sure you select the box "set-up autopay" at the bottom of the screen when you enter your card details.
To change your auto-pay credit card information on future invoices, click "view invoice" and on the next screen click "manage auto-pay" link on the top right of the screen.


Gift Certificates

Gift certificate balance will be automatically applied to your invoice before your payment method is charged. Please ensure you apply gift certificates to your account. Gift certificates that are activated after the Invoice Date will be applied not the next invoice.

By default, mid period service decreases will be applied on the next invoice. Credit will be applied by exception only. Service increases will be added to the next invoice for the number of weeks used in the prior billing period.

suspension credit

If you have 100% cloth service, you will receive store credit for each suspended week (no pick up, no delivery), if you communicate your suspension by 12PM the business day prior. You have the option to receive disposable diapers or store credit. Combo and compostable only customers will not have an option for store credit.
