Target still a pain to register with?

Hi! My FI and I have registered at Macy's, but want to register somewhere cheaper, too. We love Target, but I've heard so many horror stories, we want to be sure they won't be hard to do returns with. Target is closer to where his family is from than BB&B. Has anyone had experiences lately? Thanks!

    Wish I knew this before we started ours. Should have looked into it, I just "expected more" out of a company as established as Target. Whoops.

    My guests also were calling Target and it finally got back to me that quantities were not being updated and it was not an isolated problem with one or two guests. Almost everything we requested was over-purchased. ("Items requested: 1, Items purchased: 2")

    I was on the phone for well over an hour yesterday trying to let them know there is some fatal flaw in their registry system. I kept being told that my complaint would be noted. NO! My registry is live! Something needs to BE DONE! Finally the 3rd guy I spoke with was able to tell me that, in fact, there is no flaw at all. This is how the registry is designed.

    If you are having a shower, and a guest changes the bride/groom shipping address to their address, then the registry quantity does not update. The purchaser hopefully notices this and immediately calls Target so they can manually update! That is simply how it works. The shipping address is the qualifier for the quantity to update.

    The Target registry does not work. It's completely impractical. We have absolutely no idea what quantities of items were purchased, and neither does Target. Should make for an awkard as hell shower. Needless to say, we shut it down, registered on Bed Bath and Beyond and are currently in the process of notifying everyone who already received their shower invitation.

    Do not use Target's registry!
