Overwhelmed pregnant ladies find themselves at Babies R Us to make baby shower registries because this is the only place most people can readily access. The cute baby store down the street would surely have nicer things at comparable prices, but Babies R Us wins because of their slew of locations.
The registry process itself was fairly easy, most items were clearly marked, and the registry can be tweaked online. The brands that Babies carries are little lower end than a lot of the independent baby stores, which can be frustrating when wanting to register at only one store.
Ordering furniture from Babies R Us is a gigantic headache, the charge online for a dresser delivery is a whopping $180, but if you go into the store, its only $25. How does that make sense!? And to find out this information, I had to call the store no less than 25 times before someone actually answered the phone.
The delivery window is absurdly large and encompass a work-day so I was forced to take a day off to wait for a dresser to arrive. On arrival, the 160 pound dresser was not taken up to the room, but plonked in my living room. Thank god I have some burly men in my life, because otherwise I'd have to hire movers! Very frustrating experience with Babies R Us.
