myregistry.com actual experience and review: BEWARE! I know this post is a bit old.. but incase anyone searching finds it like I did. A word of advice and warning on myregistry.com. I was looking for some way to combine multiple registry listings so it was easy for people who are spread all over the country. I read the post at Etsy ( Etsy :: The Storque :: Reviews :: Handmade Weddings: Custom Registry Websites ) and thought myregistry.com sounded good. It does offer a cash option, and is medium easy in getting things loaded in. But the real surprise problem we have run into is kind of a nightmare. Our registry links don't matter! It sends people where ever it wants to get a better refferal payment for myregistry.com The whole idea of registering is 1. make it easy for people 2. be able to return/exchange to get what you need. Now imagine my surprise when people started saying, "hey I got you that pot from your amazon registry!" when we don't have anything registered there! Because we are a destination wedding we needed control of what was sent where. To Bad! I complained to myregistry.com and this is what they sent. "MyRegistry reserves the right, exercisable in its sole discretion, with or without notice to you, to redirect users to or otherwise identify or designate other parties or Web sites from which MyRegistry believes such products or services (or products or services similar thereto, as determined by MyRegistry in its sole discretion) may be available. We hope this did not cause any inconvenience or confusion." It was easy on the people ordering, but our registry is now kind of a mess. So much for having certain items shipped here or there based on our registry at Macy's, Crate&Barrel, or BBB. Try driving a bunch of boxes to Amazon to swap them out. myregistry.com has a really shady revenue plan that is not well disclosed and undermines the whole point of a registry. YOU CAN DO BETTER!
