Make sure before you buy the product, read reviews, check ratings and see the price is good enough to give you best deal.
If you are too much dependent on diapers, trigger price drop alerts so that you do not miss out when the price falls. Checkout the Lightning deals offered by Amazon as they offer discounts on products during off hours.

iOS: App
There are many other apps available to buy stuff for eg: firstcry.com, babyoye.com, flipkart.com, Snapdeal.com etc. But i would still recommend to go with Amazon as it gives you the best price deal, awesome service and ontime delivery. Plus, it's a lot easier to return on Amazon incomparison to other e-commerce sites.
Firstcry works best incase of ordering diapers as it has the same day delivery program if you place order before 12 Noon. But this works only on weekdays. So be very careful placing order on firstcry on weekends if you are in urgent need of diapers. They will deliver it after few days only if you order it on weekend.
