Some of Australia’s leading suppliers of baby formula have promised to supply parents with their products without the hassle of competing against ‘daigou’ buyers.
Coles and Woolworths have continued to clamp down on foreign customers who purchase the sought-after product in bulk to send back to China at a huge profit.
The makers of A2 Platinum, Aptimal and Karicare baby formula have made public guarantees to help parents get their hands on the product.
A2 Milk Company boss Peter Nathan told A Current Affair the company promises to provide parents with baby formula.

‘We will guarantee that any Australian mum or dad who wants to buy A2 platinum can do so,’ Mr Nathan said.
Mr Nathan said the company will aim to have to product at the door of Australian parents within 24 hours, with slightly longer times for regional areas.
He assured customers that they were guaranteed three tins within 24 hours when ordering online at A2nutriton.com.au.
The move comes as Australian supermarket shelves are constantly stripped bare of baby formula, bought out by Chinese ‘daigou’ shoppers

Daigou buy sought-after products, such as baby formula and vitamins, and sell them to Chinese buyers via apps such as WeChat.
To combat the growing trade, Coles and Woolworths have both tightened their purchase limits.
Shoppers can now only buy two tins at a time, down from the previous limit of four.
