I was wondering if anyone else has had trouble with Macy's registries in the past, specifically mixed up deliveries. Last week I received a pot and pan set I'd registered that was supposed to go to my mom's house instead of mine so she could gift it to me at my shower, and today I came home to a package that contained a maxi dress I definitely hadn't registered for, supposedly purchased by my aunt. I can't imagine she would have considered that a shower gift, so my guess would be that she had purchased it along with whatever she got from my registry, and Macy's accidentally sent it to me instead of her. Has anyone else had something similar happen? This is making me nervous about getting other gifts early, since I don't want people to be upset about me receiving things that they intended to give me at my shower, but I don't know how to correct it.
Re: Trouble with Macy's registries?
DH and I registered at Macy's and close friends of his parents purchased a few things online off of our registry with the intention of sending them to our home before the wedding (so they didn't have to schlep heavy gifts). In the same purchase, they ordered a vacuum for themselves - and specified in the order that the vacuum should be delivered to their house.
We received their vacuum and they got our pots and pans. Whoopsies.
We ended up making a trip down to their house for the exchange and also to have a laugh about it.
