Macy's registry- heads up...

LuckyAK, on January 28, 2018 at 7:06 PM Posted in Registry 0 3
Hi pals.
we have two registries- Zola & Macy's (I have some older relatives that are very intimidated by the internet so I wanted to give them the Macy's option to do it the old fashioned way should they want to buy in person). I just wanted to let you know that their registry system is flawed...I received multiple duplicate shower gifts from that registry- which honestly isn't a big deal for me personally-because I was able to return them for store credit and order other things- but when I was opening gifts at my shower, several people who gifted duplicates were upset or embarrassed and thus, I felt bad. I asked about it today when I went to return the duplicates and the associate told me that their in store registry doesn't reflect what's already been purchased. So unless they're looking at it online while they walk around the store, they'd have no way of knowing.
It's not a huge deal, but like I said, I felt badly that some of my generous guests felt bad about duplicate gifts...
Smiley sad
Zola on the other hand has been a total dream!

    Good to know since I’m registered there! Did they say anything about expecting to correct that?

    Not to me- however I think it depends on the associate that helps them. The woman that helped me was helping a woman shopping for a couple before me and hand crossed out the items that had already been purchased on the printed list for her. I'm assuming my relatives didn't have such luck. Also their "thank you card manager" is a hot mess so make sure you keep your own list for thank yous!

    That being said, the good thing about Macy's is they have incredible sales pretty much going on all the time... and I felt better about registering for gifts in a place I knew had a lot of good deals for my guests. They also have a good registry rewards thing going if you have a Macy's credit card. I think they just haven't totally figured out how to work out the dichotomy between in person and online.

    Maybe let whoever is throwing your shower know so they can mention it by word of mouth or in an email.

    At the end of the day the return process was quick and easy despite the fact I had to lug all that stuff to the mall! So at least that part wasn't a pain.
