Has anyone tried to buy a gift from BT's wedding list service. I did so last August and was hit with a charge of €6 for 'storage, insurance and delivery' on top of the cost of the gifts. I was told that the gifts would be delivered on the bride and groom's return from honeymoon. But, after much chasing of Brown Thomas, they had to week over six weeks after their return to receive only 75% of their gifts. The remaining 25% were 'out of stock' - so why did all the guests have to pay a 'storage' charge when it appears that the gifts are just picked from stock immediately prior to delivery. The bride and groom were pretty p***ed off, and so was I. It's not teh money, it's the principle of the rip off.
I tried to collect the gifts from the store directly as I was going to be in town anyway, but was told that this was not possible - so I had no choice but to pay the delivery charge.
So I would advise wedding couples to think twice about using Brown Thomas - not only are their prices higher than elsewhere, you may be disappointed by late delivery, if you even manage to get all your stuff at once, and your guests will be ripped off .
