where to register?

Hi. We really need to start thinking about registering. Any suggestions? Any benefits to BRU vs BBB? Thanks!

I like BRU more than BBB. I also find that long diatance folks have an easier time finding a BRU local to them.

I found that Babies 'R' Us had more of a selection in their stores than Buy Buy Baby. However, I know of a few people who had a hard time with returns/customer service at BRU so I did most of my registry at BBB. I also like that BBB accepts all Bed Bath & Beyond coupons.

I hate BRU. Their return policies suck..it did 7 years ago when I had DD and it still does now. I do agree with long distance folks having better access to BRU then BBB though.

We are registering at BBB. I love them plus they always give out 20% off coupons and they accept Bed Bath & Beyond 20% off coupons. I find their sales reps are actually knowledgeable and very helpful and IMO they have a better selection of lower priced and higher priced items then BRU. For example the high end strollers/baby gear, etc is always on display at BBB but not at every BRU.

We are also going to do a Target registry for those who don't have easy access to BBB.

Same. I've never had an issue returning anything at BRU. They even gave me a full refund on a video monitor that had broken after being used for a year and didn't have a receipt for. We were in and out in 5 minutes.

The BRU customer service was atrocious! BBB all the way.

With DS I registered at BRU and I regretted it after my shower - their customer service was horrible and when I had duplicated of things it was a total PITA to try to return anything.

This time around I'm planning on doing a universal registry from MyRegistry.com, but a lot of the stuff will be from BBB. I've found that their online selection is far more substantial than BRU and I've heard great things about their customer service.

BRU customer service is a pia, and I think BBB is very good in this area. However, BRU has some basics that BBB doesn't carry. I registered in both places - BBB for the big stuff and then things like carters flannel receiving blankets, a changing pad, waterproof pads in BRU. Sort of boring stuff, but I do find their basics are better than BBB.

I just registered at BRU today and found everything I needed easily. They have a cash back incentive as well. You get a gift card back after the shower of a percentage of what your gifts came to.

I used BBB, BRU and Amazon. I haven't had any problems with returns to any of them.
I also did a Target registry for the completion discount. They sent an offer for a free $20 gift card.
