Cancelled my gift order. No explanation.
February 7, 2022

I made a first time purchase as a gift for my daughter. A few days later I get this form letter email that my order is cancelled. No reason, no explanation. What kind of company does this? Now I have to buy it at a store that actually wants my business. Will make sure to tell my daughter and all of her friends to stay away from BuyBuyBaby.

After waiting on the phone for an average of 45 min several times, trying their chat function just to have a robot tell me that it's looking into my order for 1.5 hours, and just never being able to get actual help from someone, I would recommend to anyone to think twice before buying anything from this store. The customer service is awful and its existence has no other purpose than to pretend that they actually deal with customers. They don't- they just leave you hanging.

Horrible!
June 24, 2020

Ordered items from registry. Delivery estimate was a joke. Items arrived in separate orders. Last and most expensive item never showed up. System said shipped but no other info avail. 2 mos later after phone calls and many emails I still have not received refund on item never shipped. So annoyed with this company. NEVER AGAIN!

Ordered specific detergent for my son who had a skin reaction, product came 3 days later than originally said on their website, product was damaged. Took over hour to get into contact with someone on chat who wasn't polite, or friendly. They're sending one replacement detergent, though both were leaked on and damaged. Will take an additional 5 days at least to get replacement. Should have purchased off amazon.

I bought a crib & dresser set for my expecting daughter. SIX pieces came damaged. I sent pictures over to the customer service department, they started a claim. For TWO weeks they kept saying that the replacement parts needed to come from the vendor and they were still waiting for a response. After I threatened to dispute the charges on my credit card, they reluctantly agreed to ship a new crib. A month after the order was placed, we have a new crib but still a broken unusable dresser. Every time you call, the escalation "specialist" assigned to the case is not in and no one can provide updated information. I will NEVER make a purchase with them again. I had horrible experience with Bed Bath & Beyond and stopped shopping there as well.

Return with no receipt
September 3, 2018

It is a joke that in this day and age you cannot look up returned items purchased by a credit or debit card and you have to deduct 20% of the price accordingly for an exchange. I believe that is an unfair policy to waste peoples hard earned money just because they have misplaced the receipt! Especially items purchased 2 weeks prior in the same selling condition. Shame!

We received a duplicate item from our baby registry from Buy Buy Baby and we don't have the receipt so now we had to ask for the receipt from the purchaser (which is a bit awkward) or lose 20% towards our Merchandise credit when we return the item. Shameful. We won't be buying anything from Buy Buy Baby in the future or their parent company Bed, Bath and Beyond for ourselves nor for our friends who are having children. Plenty of other reputable merchandisers/vendors who make registry returns hassle free. Hope their penny pinching policy was worth losing potential lifelong customers over.

Cindy at the Indianapolis store was amazing & went above & beyond to look for a piece I was missing that was purchased over two years ago! I really really appreciate what she did & haven't experienced that type of service in a long time anywhere!

Very disappointed
February 19, 2021

Ordered gift from Buy Buy Baby registry. It showed in stock and estimated delivery in 3 days. After a week of waiting, I checked the tracking and it then showed delivery in 3 months. I called to complain and was told the order could not be cancelled/refunded because they don't guarantee delivery. 3 months vs. 3 days! Really! I'll never order from this place again. Go with a reputable company that actually knows the meaning of customer service.

Best price
December 27, 2018

I got 20% off from already low prices with free shipping. Great deals nice website and I hope to come here again in the future for more shopping needs. My baby is already three months, and supplies are not going to last forever.

I had to call 5 times about an order only to be told five different things before finally being told my order was lost. No one knew what they were doing and the supervisor was rude. Worst place ever! Don't buy from them!

I have a baby registry here and have purchased thousands of dollars in merchandise. When I needed customer service on the phone or email (I tried both unsuccessfully), they did not answer my emails, kept me on hold for extended lengths of time, never answering, had a non-working number some days. At a time when I cannot physically go to the store (because they are all closed due to shelter in place) this company should provide customer service on phone and email. This is ridiculous. I am going to order the remainder of my baby needs from Amazon because there I would be able to return something and get in touch with someone regarding damaged goods.

Do not have them deliver any order. Have it delivered to the store or purchase at the store. We ordered furniture, and it was an absolute nightmare. 2 months later still waiting for a crib and literally no one can assist us. They send your request to another department, and the new department never gets back to you. They are hard to understand, and no one every has answers. As a very pregnant woman who is about to be a first time mother- this is a stress I did not need. Horrible.

The Long Branch store had taken over 2 thousand dollars as payment in full for my daughters nursery over 2 months ago and when we called to find out the delivery status we were told they never put the order in, although we are holding the printed order in our hands they do not have furniture for us, the store employees show no empathy for the error and do not return calls. You cannot make this up. 8 weeks away from baby's due date we are now to search for furniture and hope for a refund timely. Shame on you BuyBuyBaby... The worst experience you could possibly have! Beware consumers!

Can't get my order
August 13, 2020

I placed order beginning of June. Still have not received. I've called customer service 3 times, waiting on hold about 50 minute each time being told original order lost and new order placed and still nothing. Also wrote them an email and received instant response back that emails r not monitored regularly at this time. So if u have an issue u will have to wait almost an hour to speak with anyone and be prepared to do it more than once.

Still no crib!
September 2, 2022

My crib was shipped to a different state even though the delivery was based on the baby registry address. After I contacted customer service, they were very difficult to understand. Not to mention the fact that they said multiple times that they could not guarantee that my crib would get there in a reasonable amount of time after they resubmitted the order three weeks after I ordered it. No way to identify the customer service rep even though I asked for an identifying associate number. When I asked for email confirmation it was extremely vague saying in order has been submitted, no guarantee on that though.

Want to test your patience? Call their customer service line. 1 hour wait times?! Ridiculous! Most people calling have newborns, we don't have time to sit on hold for a century. Get it together, clearly customer service is lowest priority for this company

We ordered 2 pairs of shoes and neither fit and they would not accept our return when it states on their website that they will refund or exchange within 14 days. They told me to "give them to a friend or sell them".

Wrong item
May 22, 2020

I see that during this epidemic many people are receiving wrong items. Well it happened to me too. I ordered a picture frame for my ultrasound photos. The package came and looked a little small. The order form stated it was a picture frame but inside was a hat for a newborn girl. This seems to be a trend right now. I will not purchase anything else from them online. I will have to go to the store or just go to amazon, their return process is so much simpler.

While trying to purchase car seats for over an hour, noone seemed interested in helping in the store. Knew exactly what was wanted, even had carts loaded. Recommend store in Mooresville, NC figure out training their staff. Good items in store, but frustrating to wait so long.
