Registry Madness

August 21st, 2006 @ 1:49 pm by Mrs. Caterpillar

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.
