How to Purchase Items from a Bridal Registry

Bridal registry orders can be purchased online from the U.S., Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and Puerto Rico, but gifts must be shipped to a U.S. address. Guests from other countries can order registry items via phone or email if the gifts will be shipped to the U.S. All you have to do is access the bridal registry, choose "Remaining" to see what hasn't been bought, then click on an item from the list to buy. From there you can purchase the gift and enjoy free shipping on any order over $39. While Business Insider reports Bed Bath & Beyond is the second most popular bridal registry in the U.S., the biggest con is that the online shopping experience isn't the best.

Bed Bath & Beyond Wedding Registry Returns

One of the big questions you might have about a Bed Bath & Beyond wedding registry is "How are returns from the registry handled?" The retailers website suggests they'll work with couples on an individual basis if needed to handle any returns. According to their return policy, if you have a gift registry receipt for the unopened item you can either exchange it or get store credit for the purchase price to use within the next year.
