Did more people buy from your BRU registry than your BBB registry (if you have a registry in both stores)?

Did you find more people bought from the BRU registry?

I am finding already more items coming off the BRU registry. I am wondering if I should take some items off of the BBB registry and put them on the BRU b/c more people will buy from BRU?

Also, when do the registry closeout coupons get mailed to you? Is it after the baby's due date? I am imagining that some items won't be bought that I will need before the baby is born and wondering when that coupon is supposed to come?

I did!!! There is a BRU everywhere and I think they are easier to find than BBB. I ended up switching everything to my BRU registry and almost everything was bought

Re: Did more people buy from your BRU registry than your BBB registry (if you have a registry in both stores)?

I only registered at BBB and people still bought stuff at BRU!

Def bru

Re: Did more people buy from your BRU registry than your BBB registry (if you have a registry in both stores)?

BRU all the way!

Re: Did more people buy from your BRU registry than your BBB registry (if you have a registry in both stores)?

I won't switch and have registries at both...

BRU's return policy and customer service is notoriously subpar. People will buy online from BBB if they want to get your something.

Im having that problem now Im switching my stuff over as we speak (if freaking bru website worked) because nobody really touched bbb. It sucks because I like them so much more...but I guess for the convienece aspect- I gotta switch my big items.

In the beginning it was BRU by a landslide. The week or 2 before my shower it evened out and a lot came off from my BBB registry & the BRU one slowed. I think alot of it was because the OOT people were able to go to the store and see what they were buying & then have it shipped in time, whereas my peeps on LI did not mind going to the BBB store.

BRU has the WORST return policy ever. We actually only registered at Amazon this time b/c I am sick of dealing with BRU.

ugh! I dont like hearing that b/c I really dont like BRU

I was in heaven when I went to BBB for a friend's shower and was hoping to only register there.

Nobody touched our BBB registry, we kept that one very small, everyone purchased from BRU

Re: Did more people buy from your BRU registry than your BBB registry (if you have a registry in both stores)?

I'm keeping my BBB registry small and will have alot more things on the BRU one. I actually really like BBB. I think they are so much more helpful!! I will just have to watch both registries to see what store everyone is buying from. I originally started a BBB registry because they have alot more strollers and car seats to choose from.

hardly anyone touched my BBB registry That might be different now since BRU has a HORRIBLE return policy!

Re: Did more people buy from your BRU registry than your BBB registry (if you have a registry in both stores)?

It was pretty mixed. All of my big ticket items were at BBB and they were all purchased in the beginning. Smaller things, like the monitor and activity mat, were initally on BBB. I then switched them to BRU and they were bought there. Once I saw they were purchased, I removed them from the BBB registry.

I think, especially on LI, BRU is more popular.

Also, keep in mind they can pull up your registry at Toys R' Us as well, so when you add in all those locations, BBB can't compare.

Re: Did more people buy from your BRU registry than your BBB registry (if you have a registry in both stores)?

No one bought from BBB

Re: Did more people buy from your BRU registry than your BBB registry (if you have a registry in both stores)?

YES my BRU registery was almost cleared out, my BBB had quite a bit left on it after my shower.

I registered at both and not much was purchased from Buy buy baby

Re: Did more people buy from your BRU registry than your BBB registry (if you have a registry in both stores)?

I have to tell you this thread had me worried noone is going to buy anything off my registry. I registered at BBB and amazon. The invites already went out. Now I am worried that people will just go buy whatever they want at BRU and I won't be able to return anything... and their awful return policy was my main reason for not registering there.
I did think about locations before I registered... I don't have that many people coming and I even talked to my parents about it and they thought for people to go to Huntington wasn't a big deal - or they could order online...
I guess I have to wait and see now!

Re: Did more people buy from your BRU registry than your BBB registry (if you have a registry in both stores)?

sort of. my bbb registry was much bigger, but I made sure to put some good stuff on bru because they are easier to shop at in person (more locations). I found that people who shopped more towards the end (likely in person) shopped at BRU, and that registry had all the bigger items gone. BBB was shopped early on, I think from folks who probably shopped online. But I still got most of the stuff I really wanted from each place.

I was planning to register ONLY at BBB - and maybe Pottery Barn for a few things ........I HATE HATE HATE BRU ..........
