Dillard's vs Kohl's

vanessahartman

My FI and I are planning to register in November - at Bed, Bath and Beyond and either Kohl's or Dillard's. Has anyone registered at Kohl's or Dillard's and have any suggestions? I'd really appreciate your opinions Thanks!

I registered at Kohl's and overall had a pretty good experience.  The only complaint I have is that the staff (and I went to multiple stores) wasn't really ever trained on creating, updating, or adding to registries and it was often just easier to add online.Additionally, while I didn't have trouble with it, you need to watch the registry carefully for items that are no longer available.  Kohl's takes overstock (like Big Lots) and items aren't always available.

Dillard's is a real department store, with quality merchandise suitable for wedding gifts. Kohl's is s discount store that's deliberately positioned to be lower than a department store but above the lowest discount stores that sell other stores' rejected merchandise - like Big Lots . Kohl's doesn't look like a department store and doesn't do business like a department store. Here's a clip from Kohl's on Wikipedia: "Kohl’s operates differently from traditional department stores. The most noticeable distinction is that Kohl's stores have centralized checkout aisles, where a single line is used for check-outs. This has led many observers to consider Kohl's a hybrid of a department store and a mass merchandiser. Kohl's also uses a "racetrack" aisle that circles the entire store, a technique borrowed from discount stores but rarely used in department stores."

We origionally registered at Kohl's & Bed Bath & Beyond but cancelled our registry at Kohl's because we noticed BB&B had more of a selection & their prices were about 10% more than BB&B.
