Bliss+Berry:I'm registering at Buy Buy Baby. I hate BRU and avoid it like the plague. If you register there, be careful of some of their automatic add-ons. They will automatically add on gift cards to your registry and put something along the lines of "gift cards are welcome" (barf, tacky) and they also automatically add the buyer protection plan to each item and then have the cashiers push it at the register. It just seems sneaky and underhanded to me.
I worked at BRU for a while and we never added it on without asking the customer. Yes, we were 'supposed' to be selling a certain number of protection plans per week or whatever, but I could never imagine adding it on automatically without the person knowing because you have to give them the brochure thingie with the product number and stuff on it. And also, just thought of it, the actual item is not rung up from the registry paper, we rung up the actual item, and then had to just scan the registry bar code so it would come off the registry. You have to actually scan the bar code on the protection plan sheet to add it to your sale.
At any rate, I registered at BRU (gift cards were not placed on it), and I have price-checked a lot of things, and most things that I want (pack n play, swing, bouncer, travel system) I have found cheaper at BRU. The same or similar styles were more expensive at other stores, or they just didn't carry what I wanted so it was hard to translate the entire registry to another store. Also wasn't sure if I should register the same items at multiple stores, I don't want to get two of something that I only need one of and it seems like a major time waster to have to return something.
