BRU taking back old bottles for credit

I am just reposting this from another website I frequent. I don't know if there is any truth to it but it worth a phone call at least!

I didn't believe it when I heard it, but it is true. Many Babies R Us stores are taking back ANY bottles that they carry and issuing either Merchandise Credit for full retail price or a one-to-one trade of bottles!

They are in the process of pulling all bottles off the shelves that are not BPA-free before a formal recall (which is expected to come soon) happens.

I called my BRU and asked and they said, "Yes, bring them in." So, I did - and got $55 in Merchandise Credit today for my 11 Dr. Brown's bottles that are 2 years old! I am glad I didn't sell them now - not only because I wouldn't have gotten that much, but also because they aren't good any more. When I was there, they took mine, counted them, got the same thing off the shelf and scanned it in as a return. All I had to do was give them my Driver's License and I was good to go. Amazing, huh?

Off to BRU - everyone!

Which one did you go to?

Someone posted yesterday or 2 days ago and BRU in Commack would not take them back.

I did not see that post but it figures. The Commack store always institutes the less customer friendly policies. Anyone know what the Sayville/Bohemia store is doing?

I had 2 Dr. Brown's bottles crack over the weekend. One had a starburst type crack that I noticed. Hello, leaking BPA!!!! The other had a crack near the top, maybe from tightening the travel caps too much. I think we threw both of those away. Oh well. If I get a chance to stop into the Sayville BRU, I will find out what they are doing. We are trying to get used to the Born Free Bottles but it's been tough.

Re: BRU taking back old bottles for credit

be aware that each BRU is handling it differently, so call ahead and ask hhow they are handling it.

My BRU is a trip, so I have to find the time to do so!
