Target registry

mrsbizzz

We registered at Target, BB&B, and Macy's. We've had many things already purchased off the Macy's and BB&B registry, but we've received many complaints about the Target registry. Of the 25 or so things we have on the registry, only 2 are available for purchase online. This is very frustrating and we're thinking of shutting down the registry and opening another for the items on it at another store. Opinions?

Target is notoriously glitchy.

They also have wildly different stock in-store and online.  That and the stock between stores doesn't always match.  If you registered in-store, it's very likely that your guests won't be able to find some of your items at their local stores.

They are also a stickler for their normal return policy, which is 30 days.  Most times in life, 30 days is NBD.  But after a wedding, that can be cutting it a bit close.  Most of the other stores give you 6 months to a year to make returns.

I would can it.  If you only have 25 items, just move them to BBB or Macy's.  I love Target for my everyday shopping, but not for weddings.

If you decide to shut it down you might want to simply hide it from public view and keep it open...deleting some items if you choose.  I did that so I could make sure my 10% completion discount would still be effective.  The 10% may have still worked anyway even if I did shut it down because I used it online and it took 10% off my entire cart--even things that weren't on the registry.
