I tried calling their corporate number and they were able to tell me the closest store that had the item, but it was like 2 hours away. No thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-r-us-is-lame#post-1447949 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 10:44:26 +0000 HLK208 1447949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ginabean3: ugggh, BRU. I know, there's an item we have to have and it says the same thing on the site! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-r-us-is-lame#post-1447894 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 10:25:20 +0000 Ginabean3 1447894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: yeah, unfortunately I gave phone problems with them too.....called a couple stores near me to see if they had an item in stock and was on hold for over 20 min for each......only for them to tell me no! Sucks! You have lots of good suggestions, unfortunately my stores suck. :sad: I would forgo them completely but it's hard to when all my gift cards are to that darn store! Why couldn't people get me BBB gift cards? Lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-r-us-is-lame#post-1447880 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 10:21:19 +0000 littlebug 1447880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so over BRU. We had this exact same problem when trying to order a glider from them. We finally had to just pick a different glider. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-r-us-is-lame#post-1447878 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 10:20:47 +0000 pui 1447878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ginabean3: Well, you said there were a few near you right? Perhaps try a different one? Also perhaps they'll be more helpful over the phone? Usually they have different people doing that than the storefront stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-r-us-is-lame#post-1447870 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 10:18:44 +0000 Ginabean3 1447870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: ugh, don't get me started with the local store.....there are always a million customers in there and only one cashier! I actually went the other day and was waiting in a huge line...there was one woman in front of me and it looked like she wanted to buy some formula. Well, a backup cashier came up to open another lane and went up to her and asked her if she was making a purchase (the line we were all standing in was returns/purchase). Well the lady was foreign and didn't really understand what the cashier was asking and kept saying, "I don't understand I don't understand" and the cashier got all frustrated and skipped her and motioned me over to pay! I was annoyed and said to the cashier "I'm pretty sure she is buying that formula!" And the cashier sighed and waved the woman over to pay. Yep...that's my local store for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-r-us-is-lame#post-1447853 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 10:12:17 +0000 pui 1447853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Perhaps try calling your local store and seeing if they can place the order for you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-r-us-is-lame#post-1447850 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 10:11:24 +0000 Mrs. M 1447850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For some reason every time I go to BRU the customer service is interesting and they always give me a hard time about coupons. For this reason I often will drive the extra 10 minutes to go to Buy Buy Baby. </p> <p>Before LO was born I also had an issue with an online order of cloth diapers and they made it quite difficult. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-r-us-is-lame#post-1447844 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 10:09:01 +0000 Ginabean3 1447844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@preggomeggo82: unfortunately the item I wanted was a BRU exclusive...it was their in-house imaginarium toy brand! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-r-us-is-lame#post-1447843 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 10:08:54 +0000 Mamaof2 1447843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ginabean3: I agree! I was helping a friend find a hot item for Christmas and it didn't say "out of stock" so I emailed her and got her hopes up only to find out once you try to add it to your cart.... oops, cant do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-r-us-is-lame#post-1447837 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 10:07:10 +0000 preggomeggo82 1447837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you checked Amazon or Buy Buy Baby? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-r-us-is-lame#post-1447835 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 10:06:03 +0000 jodyblair 1447835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had that same issue with a glider I wanted. It made me so mad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-r-us-is-lame#post-1447831 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 10:05:29 +0000 Ginabean3 1447831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: yes, that's what I'm thinking...but then they should just have it labelled as out-of-stock! They shouldn't give the ship-to-store option at all! It's very misleading! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-r-us-is-lame#post-1447825 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 10:03:25 +0000 Mamaof2 1447825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like its just out of stock at the moment! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-r-us-is-lame#post-1447820 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 10:02:27 +0000 Ginabean3 1447820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just a vent about BRU....</p> <p>Two times now I've tried to buy something from their website....and it won't let me! The website says there is no ship-to-home option and the item is not available in stores....the only option is ship-to-store. Ok fine, I live within a couple stores! But then when I select that option, it says that my item is not available at any stores near me (I make the search a 50 mike radius too!) so I think this is really lame.....obviously it's an online only product, of course it's not showing up at any stores! Why wouldn't the main BRU warehouse ship the item to the store like it says it would!! I just don't get it.....</p> <p>Is my rant confusing? Has anyone ekes ever encountered this? </p>
