babies r us fail

So my SIL sent me a text to ask if I had recieved any shower gifts in the mail.  I haven't.

apparently BRU has totally screwed up my registry and hasn't taken a single item off and so people have been buying multiples of things.

maybe not a bad thing for me so I can return and get what I really need and want since people typically buy 'cute' things and 'fun' gifts instead of necessities.

but it might be a little weird at my shower this weekend

Re: babies r us fail

  • Ah that sucks!  Well hopefully you won't get too many multiples!

  • Without receipts they give you the lowest price it has been in the last 90 days and you can only return so much in one year. I couldn't return everything as a result. I ended up taking some back to target since I wasn't maxed out there yet.

    I'm sure people will still bring cute things. People get things that aren't on the registry as well. Hope it goes well.
    Thanks to our wonderful RE our family is complete!

    BRU has been great about our returns.  As long as it's on your registry, even if you don't have a gift receipt, they'll give you the price it was on your registry...or something like that.

    Our BRU registry worked out fine.  It was our Target registry that wasn't taking any items off.  We got a few multiples (jogging stroller, monitor, walker, umbrella stroller).  It was a little awkward at the shower, but at the same time, people understand. 

    You could also mention, or have the hostess mention, at the beginning of the shower that BRU screwed up.

  • I've not had issues returning to BRU as long as it was on my registry. I had a few random gifts that I wasn't going to use and I couldn't figure out where they were purchased from since I didn't get a gift receipt. I looked online and saw that BRU carried them, so I added them to my registry, then went in store and returned them with no problems. :)
