I planned to register at BBB but....

ive been comparison shopping of all the items i want to get and there are some real price differences. BBB seems to have many items that are significantly higher priced than BRU.

Ive heard BRU is a real PITA when it comes to returns and customer service stinks but.... these price differences make sme want to reg at BRU. Maybe i will do both

Re: I planned to register at BBB but....

This is one of the reasons why I picked BRU. It's seems like a lot of ladies on here do both, so maybe that will work out well for you!

Re: I planned to register at BBB but....

You can definitely do that. The good thing about BBB though is that people can use the 20% off coupons from Bed Bath & Beyond but they have to be current, from what I hear. They don't accept the expired ones.

I had no idea the prices were that different!

Re: I planned to register at BBB but....

Prices were the reason I registered at BRU.

As for the BBB coupons, once you reguster at BRU, they send you a book of coupns each month.

Re: I planned to register at BBB but....

You can definitely register at both! The reason that BBB is more expensive is that they generally carry more expensive patterns.

Re: I planned to register at BBB but....

If the stuff there is really the stuff you like, register for it and have a BRU registry also with smaller and less expensive items

Re: I planned to register at BBB but....

I had a registry at both for that reason. BRU return policy changed to not let you return without a receipt and you have to return within a certain period of time. Makes it a pain if people give you a gift and don't give a gift receipt. However, every time I've bought something at BRU, they automatically give a gift receipt attached to the regular one.

Re: I planned to register at BBB but....

that's exactly why i did both!!! the price differences (check weekly - the prices CHANGE)....and because there were things that BBB had that i didn't want to sacrifice to register solely at BRU...

also - keep in mind that you can use the Bed Bath & Beyond coupons at Buy Buy Baby - so that helps keep the price down!!!!!!!!

Re: I planned to register at BBB but....

I did my furniture, bassinet, glider all at BBB. I also did like bassinet cover, crib mattress cover.


I did everything else at BRU.


My whole family was able to use those coupons on my major stuff at BBB. It all worked out!

Re: I planned to register at BBB but....

I registered at BRU because of the locations and I know a lot of ladies had issues with their return policy but I have to say that I had no problems returning anything. I thought that I would have issues and was worried but I was able to return things that weren't even on my registry nor had gift receipts for.

I love BBB too, but I also found that they did not have some items that I wanted that I saw at BRU. I don't see anything wrong with registering at both places and just price comparison shop between the two. Good luck!

Re: I planned to register at BBB but....

I compared all of the items that I was looking for, mainly the pricier items like stroller, infant carrier, car seats, swing and bouncy and the specific ones I wanted were the same price at both stores.

I guess it depends on what you want. I am going to register today at BBB.

Re: I planned to register at BBB but....

Thats why I registered at BRU! But you can def. do both!

Re: I planned to register at BBB but....

I didn't notice significantly higher prices at BBB but I registered at both places. I will tell you that I had about 30 people at my baby shower, got a ton of stuff from my registry, and only 2 gift receipts. This is the main reason I would stick with BBB. The return policy at BRU is ridiculous and after I had the baby, I realized that I registered for some things I didn't need or wanted to return for something I didn't get as a gift and needed more (like bottles).
