Mr. Caterpillar and I registered at only one place, Michael C. Fina. They have a large selection of china, crystal, and silver, and because I’m kind of crazy like that, I only wanted china, crystal, and silver.
So far? Disaster.
The site is down ALL THE TIME. As well, the page layouts make it really difficult to navigate. And for those without a cryptology doctorate, it is apparently impossible to figure out how to buy anything. One of Mr. Caterpillar’s parents’ friends actually got so frustrated with the process, he called Mr. Caterpillar’s mama and told us he was giving up and just getting us a Costco giftcard.
The wedding is about 20 days away, and last I checked, two people have made purchases from the registry. We now have 7 spatulas and a single coffee saucer. It’s not looking good.
That totally stinks.
One thing to keep in mind though is that silver, china, and crystal are expensive - not something that most people get for showers or anything like that, but the sort of present people will send for the actual wedding.
Maybe if you have a wedding website or something, you can list your cina/silver/crystal patterns — so that people can find it somewhere easier to purchase, or can go into a store and ask for it?
I just posted something on The Knot about this. I am really considering moving my registry elsewhere because their website is just so bad! Unfortunately, I don’t think there’s a place that has all the brands that we want (i.e. Fortunoff’s doesn’t seem to carry Alessi). Am hoping to not have the same issues that you do…
that sucks. i cancelled our bloomies registry because the person we were working with was not so nice, and they kept discontinuing things. we ended up going with bbb and had no problemos. then again we are chinaless.

Mrs. Caterpillar, New York/CA Age and Occupation in 06: 28, Corporate Attorney to be Fiance's Age and Occupation: 29, Musician Engagement Date: March 9, 2006 Wedding Date: September, 2006 Venue: Rooster Point About Me: I don't like Jeff Koons, mushy corn, or the unnecessary diacritical marks the New Yorker adds to words like cooperative. Also, I'm an obsessive compulsive when it comes to crafts. And not just the ordinary kind of obsessive compulsive who needs to have everything even and aligned. No. I've gilded the heads of pins to make sure they looked properly antique. Gilded them. Then coated them in german glass glitter. I am that crazy.
