If you’re a parent living in Canada and looking for affordable baby products, Indian ethnic kidswear, or essentials like diapers and toys from FirstCry, we’ve got good news. FirstCry offers a wide selection of children’s clothing, baby care items, books, feeding bottles, toys, and more—all popular with Indian families. The only issue? FirstCry doesn’t deliver outside India.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy shopping from them. With Forward Parcel, you can now shop from FirstCry like a local and get everything delivered to your doorstep in Canada.
Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you through the process.
Step 1: Sign Up for a Free Forward Parcel Account
Go to www.forwardparcel.com and register for an account. After you sign up, you will receive:
- Your personal Indian shipping address
- A warehouse code (used to tag your package correctly)
- Access to your Forward Parcel dashboard to manage all your shipments
This Indian address is what you’ll enter when shopping from FirstCry.
Step 2: Browse and Shop on FirstCry
Go to www.firstcry.com and start exploring their massive catalogue. You’ll find:
- Newborn baby essentials (bodysuits, blankets, caps)
- Baby and toddler ethnic wear (perfect for weddings, Diwali, and family functions)
- Diapers, wipes, and creams
- Feeding bottles, sterilizers, breast pumps
- Educational books, puzzles, and toys
- Maternity care products for new and expecting moms
Once you’ve added everything you need to your cart, proceed to checkout.
Step 3: Enter Your Indian Address (from Forward Parcel)
On the checkout page:
- Use the Indian address provided by Forward Parcel
- Add your warehouse code (usually in the name or address field)
- Enter the correct PIN code and mobile number (as shown in your Forward Parcel dashboard)
This ensures the FirstCry delivery reaches the correct warehouse, tagged under your account.
Step 4: Make the Payment
You can pay directly on FirstCry using Indian debit/credit cards or UPI. If your international card doesn’t work, no worries—you can request Forward Parcel’s Assisted Purchase service. They’ll place the order on your behalf, and you can reimburse them.
Step 5: Package Arrives at Forward Parcel Warehouse in India
Once FirstCry ships your order, it will be delivered to the Forward Parcel warehouse. You’ll be notified via email when the package is received. Forward Parcel will:
- Click and upload photos of your package
- Add weight and size details to your dashboard
This lets you review your order before confirming international shipment.
Step 6: Choose to Consolidate or Ship Individually
If you’ve ordered from multiple Indian sites like Amazon, Flipkart, or Meesho, you can consolidate all your packages into one shipment. This saves you money on shipping and customs fees.
If you only have the FirstCry order, you can proceed to shipping directly.
Step 7: Select Shipping Method to Canada
In your Forward Parcel dashboard, choose the courier and shipping method based on:
- Speed (express or economy)
- Budget
- Courier preference (DHL, FedEx, or Aramex)
You’ll also be able to estimate shipping time and cost before confirming.
Step 8: Track and Receive Your Package in Canada
After the shipment is dispatched, you will receive a tracking number. You can follow your parcel in real time. Deliveries to Canada typically take 5 to 10 working days.
