I talked to them myself today and they helped me. They are great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-gear-still-in-boxes#post-2437973 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 18:39:53 +0000 BSB 2437973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit7: Yup, Amazon said it's 90 days. They gave me an exception. So so grateful that they did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-gear-still-in-boxes#post-2437941 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 18:00:56 +0000 Miss Ariel 2437941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a diaper genie that I never even took the wrapping paper off. I prefer to use cloth but when we use disposables I just throw them in our main kitchen trash. Dh's friend bought it for us since he didn't like the things left on our registry and they liked using it. I was ready to return immediately but dh wanted to keep it just in case... Which is why we still have it over a year later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-gear-still-in-boxes#post-2437881 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 16:39:57 +0000 Littlebit7 2437881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think on Amazon baby items have a 90 day return window. Don't quote me on that but I'm almost positive<br /> Also see if there is a local Facebook baby buy sell trade. I've sold and bought SO much stuff on mine </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-gear-still-in-boxes#post-2437861 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 16:18:13 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2437861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Yea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-gear-still-in-boxes#post-2437859 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 16:13:55 +0000 BSB 2437859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: @MrsSRS: Nope! I reached out to them today and they were able to look it up without the receipt! Woohoo! They are letting me return it! Yes!</p> <p>Amazon to the rescue!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-gear-still-in-boxes#post-2432231 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 21:54:46 +0000 MrsSRS 2432231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you need the amazon receipt if it was bought off your registry? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-gear-still-in-boxes#post-2431655 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 17:37:56 +0000 Boogs 2431655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Ha mommy brain is the worst! I'm sure you'll find it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-gear-still-in-boxes#post-2431627 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 17:26:56 +0000 MamaBear87 2431627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We still have a pack and play, high chair, crib mattress and a few older age toys. But I knew we were moving before she would need any of those things so they are just waiting until we move (next week!) to get taken out and found a home. We somehow managed not to end up with anything big we didn't use </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-gear-still-in-boxes#post-2431624 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 17:26:14 +0000 snowjewelz 2431624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: I guess they do have to be careful since I'm sure there are people that do that! But I've done it a few times genuinely because I don't remember which store this came from. I think most stores of a max $ of return you can make with no receipt anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-gear-still-in-boxes#post-2431610 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 17:19:59 +0000 BSB 2431610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: Yeah, I considered trying to lug that stroller to BBB. (I know they carry that stroller... just not sure if they carry the color that I got.) Though one time I tried returning something that I bought on amazon (a diaper bag) at BBB and got the side eye and maybe felt like they were following me around the store like I was going to steal something. Definitely felt judged. They carry this brand of diaper bag and I thought I could return it there. Apparently they didn't carry that color and that's when I felt awkward. I guess they thought I was trying to rip them off or scam them. Yeah, I still shop there but I'm cautious about doing anything that is frown upon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-gear-still-in-boxes#post-2431606 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 17:18:21 +0000 cat620 2431606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a bottle warmer that was never opened, but that's the only thing I can think of. I have plenty of things I took out of boxes and setup but never used, but I'll save that for a different thread </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-gear-still-in-boxes#post-2431600 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 17:16:13 +0000 BSB 2431600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: Oh, I love their online chat. Hoping something jogs my memory so I can remember where I put those gift order receipts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-gear-still-in-boxes#post-2431598 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 17:15:46 +0000 snowjewelz 2431598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes you can return these things to other stores if they carry the same item! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-gear-still-in-boxes#post-2431579 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 17:08:47 +0000 Boogs 2431579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: I usually just online chat, and always have a great experience. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-gear-still-in-boxes#post-2431574 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 17:06:55 +0000 BSB 2431574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: No, not yet. I need to. I should talk to them. I was going to recently but I forgot where I put the gift receipt with the order number. Trying to remember where I put them before Christmas break. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-gear-still-in-boxes#post-2431564 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 17:02:03 +0000 Boogs 2431564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you actually spoken to Amazon? Usually when you explain why you missed their return window they are flexible and let you return! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-gear-still-in-boxes#post-2431155 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 17:00:00 +0000 BSB 2431155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought two used mamaroos and they have been great, but I also registered for a swing and a bouncer. They are still sitting in a box in our garage. I need to sell it. </p> <p>I also got a hand me down City select stroller with second seat from my brother after my MIL bought the double tandem stroller (a more affordable brand) off my registry. That is still in a box in my garage. </p> <p>Most of the items were all purchased and shipped through Amazon, so I can't simply take it to Babies R Us or Buy buy baby to return. Plus, Amazon's return policy says it needs to be returned within 30 days (I was on hospital bed rest a few days after I returned from my trip home and baby shower... so that return wasn't going to happen). Plus, I was under the impression that you had 6 months to return on Amazon because Amazon's wedding registry allows returns to happen within 6 months but, of course, baby registry items needs to be returned within 1 month (WTF, right?). </p> <p>Yeah, so I have a few things I have still in box that I need to sell or return. </p> <p>Yeah, one of the downsides to having an out of state shower and having everything shipped through Target or Amazon. Then being put on hospital bed rest until the babies came didn't help either. </p>
