Hi, we are Hamish and Sarah, aka GreenBeans Australia! Thank you for visiting our store :)

Greenbeans Australia PTY LTD is the younger sister to Greenbeans NZ LTD.

EARLY DAYS OF GREENBEANS:
Our first baby became The Bean when I was about 8 weeks pregnant and the pictures in the pregnancy books of an 8wk fetus looked just like a bean. The nickname lasted the rest of the pregnancy, and beyond!

We put him in cloth nappies when he was about 8 weeks old, and never looked back. We started off for environmental reasons, but as you know, modern cloth nappies are so funky and fun that the environmental benefits rapidly became a happy bonus, and the true addiction to cloth flourished. And so The Bean became a "Green" Bean.

When I got to the inevitable stage where you want to try your hand at making a nappy yourself I was surprised that I couldn't find any specialist nappy making fabric or accessories anywhere in NZ. So we started bringing out fabrics for the NZ WAHMs, and mums like me who just wanted to have a play. Volume and variety grew, and before we knew it we made a conscious decision and so GreenBeans was born!

As our family business grows and changes, the goal remains the same; to provide a valuable service to all cloth mamas out there, whether making one nappy for their own child, or running their own business selling thousands of nappies. Whatever the scale of your need, our family owned and operated business will continue to be here to support and assist you in doing your bit for all our childrens' health, comfort, and planet!

GREENBEANS AUSTRALIA PTY LTD:
We have for a number of years been aware of Australians wanting supply and distribution of MCN supplies within Australia, however we struggled keeping up with high enough stock levels in New Zealand, let alone moving into Australia. So we continued shipping from NZ to Australia as the orders came in.

In late 2007 when we had progressed towards better inventory levels, and with ongoing moves and features added to our New Zealand based website, we found our sales from Australian customers grew even further.

When we came to review the increasing volume of our sales being Australia bound in early 2009, the decision was made to expand into Australia with a distribution warehouse situated in Brisbane, operational from 1 August 2009.

Greenbeans Australia PTY LTD is the owner and operator of this website. It is an Australian company, paying all the tax required within Australia and all profits will be retained within the company within Australia for the expansion of the company. It operates separately from Greenbeans NZ LTD with different staff, but at the same time gaining the economies of scale, experience in sourcing, consistent, and high quality of product that Greenbeans NZ has come to be known for.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT:
At Greenbeans, we strive to source and then onsell the best quality products, the best suited products, and the full range of products to make MCN’s . We get the majority of our products produced specifically for us, and as most of our suppliers find out, we have a lot of demands that ensure the quality of the product is kept to the highest standard.

We don’t have some other brand of nappies that we sell as well, we are not your competitor & we aim to have no business that competes with you in finished garments.

We are continually working towards having a full range of top quality materials that perform the best and last the longest, that are specifically made to our specifications that we have found to be the best through our ongoing research of products.

We aim to ship the same day that your payment shows, and pride ourselves on speedy and efficient service - in both dispatch and customer service.

Our current pricing policy is one to keep the price as low as we can afford to go and still survive, and allow ourselves to gain as much volume as possible, so we have a higher stock turn over and buying power when we buy fabrics which comes around in delivering better prices, further on down the track.

Thanks for visiting Greenbeans Australia! We appreciate your support, and welcome your feedback. :)
