There were some things I really wanted to see in person and wanted to be able to try out like strollers and carseats. I had done a lot of research but I still wanted to test drive those things myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-registered-at-a-brick-and-mortar-store#post-188449 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 17:33:55 +0000 BeachMama 188449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a lot of my BRU registry online but went to the store to see/feel/test out the stroller, crib, and other big ticket items. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-registered-at-a-brick-and-mortar-store#post-188384 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 16:27:04 +0000 Alivoo01 188384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I registered for our wedding in store, then updated online. I like going to see and feel things in person. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-registered-at-a-brick-and-mortar-store#post-188341 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 15:49:44 +0000 matador84 188341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did buy buy baby in store and was wiped out whn I left. I did BRU online and cross-checked with my BBB registry and it went great. I don't think I could have handled two stores in person! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-registered-at-a-brick-and-mortar-store#post-188263 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 14:53:30 +0000 LuLu Mom 188263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went in store and then updated online for stuff that they didn't have that I liked or wanted a different pattern. I prefer to get stuff I know will be in store (for local family/friends) since I have a lot of older members who don't online shop. I want plenty of both options. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-registered-at-a-brick-and-mortar-store#post-188228 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 14:39:47 +0000 ALittleP 188228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went in store and added online. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-registered-at-a-brick-and-mortar-store#post-188216 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 14:30:37 +0000 joyjoy 188216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I registered at Babies R Us online, but I made sure that the majority of what I registered for had the "in store pickup" or "available in store" options. We do plan to stop into the store at some point to wander around and see if we want to add anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-registered-at-a-brick-and-mortar-store#post-188188 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 14:18:32 +0000 skipra 188188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to the Babies r us store because my mom wanted to help out. I really wanted to see the car seats and strollers in person too. Plus we got a goodies bag that way! Of course I edited everything online but I'm glad we started in the store. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-registered-at-a-brick-and-mortar-store#post-188182 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 14:14:07 +0000 autumnlove 188182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I registered in person but added most items from the website. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-registered-at-a-brick-and-mortar-store#post-188179 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 14:11:26 +0000 regberadaisy 188179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: hahah when we went into Target it was the first time we used a scanner gun. My husband LOVED it. He tried to scan things from across the store! Crazy man. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-registered-at-a-brick-and-mortar-store#post-188176 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 14:09:37 +0000 sorrycharlie 188176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started target online, then went and continued in store because they have made it SO easy to edit from your phone with their app! I love it.</p> <p>I did Babies R Us in store and have been back many, many times. I didn't do it all in one shot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-registered-at-a-brick-and-mortar-store#post-188175 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 14:08:28 +0000 lovehoneybee 188175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did it at the store, but only because we didn't go to the store for our wedding registry, and I decided my life wouldn't be complete if I couldn't use a scanner gun. So we went and did it at the store, and then came home and changed it up online :)</p> <p>We also did an amazon.com registry, which is obviously completely online. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-registered-at-a-brick-and-mortar-store#post-188171 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 14:08:18 +0000 DillonLion 188171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I attempted brick and mortar for our wedding registry and it was a NIGHTMARE. The scanning gun wasn't charged at all when we got there, so we had to wait (even though we made an appointment). And then the gun kept dying once we went around the store to scan. Then it sent items to the wrong registry or didn't save it at all anywhere. </p> <p>I will only be registering online for this baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-registered-at-a-brick-and-mortar-store#post-188166 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 14:06:50 +0000 regberadaisy 188166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did mainly online for the same reasons and because there's more stock. But I made sure to go to the store too so that I know the items I registered for were available AT the store too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-registered-at-a-brick-and-mortar-store#post-188163 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 14:03:34 +0000 heffalump 188163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to the store. I like to see things in person because sometimes you just can't tell the details by looking online. But then I'd go back online and switch it up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-registered-at-a-brick-and-mortar-store#post-188162 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 14:02:54 +0000 Running Elley 188162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it's weird at all! Registering at the store is REALLY overwhelming. We went to the actual store to start the registry but we only registered for the big stuff in person. Most of it we did online! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-registered-at-a-brick-and-mortar-store#post-188158 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 14:00:50 +0000 MusicaV 188158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>did you do it in the store or online?</p> <p>I haven't actually registered yet (just research), but I would much rather do it from the comfort of my own home than in the store. Is that weird? </p>
