Service Charges Ruined My Experience Maybe there's an ad-supported option you can offer customers? Just so people don't *have* to forfeit their gift money. It feels very un-gratifying to get some percentage instead of a nice whole number, psychologically. Or maybe just have a flat membership fee that the registrant pays upfront? Also, I opted for my money to be paid via PayPal. I believe PayPal also charged a fee. You should warn customers of this. I would've certainly opted for a check if I knew PayPal would skim off the top as well. Won't use your service again—or recommend it—as a result of these fees. Perhaps if you made some changes, I would. It's too bad, because the concept is good, and the service is helpful. It won't be long before a competitor solves the fee problem and steals the market. Just a thought.

unnecessary We started our registry with this site and found out it was not helpful in the slightest. If someone wanted to purchase a gift for us off of the registry, we would only get the cash for that item and we would have to go buy the gift. Any gift of money given to use, the website gets a cut. Doesn't make sense to have a middle man for no reason. Also, we had a guest sign up for a cash gift, but someone got confused that they had to actually personally give us the case....just a confusing process all around. Do not recommend.

Satisfied customer SimpleRegistry worked well for us. We found it easy to use and manage as well as fun for us and our loved ones. If the need were to arise for someone I would recommend this site. My one concern would be there are too many mailed items. Perhaps I could have changed that option and chose to not receive anything in the mail but in my opinion that is what the default option should be. Instead we received a lot of unnecessary physical mail as I was also emailed with notifications as appropriate. This is the only thing that I can think of to critique. Thanks.

I would DEFINITELY do it again. Great registry! Our friends and family loved the opportunity to gift my husband and me with activities, memories and unique gifts rather than another coffee pot. We were given horse back riding, jeep tours, mountain bike rentals and more! It was such a cool experience!

Good simple site It was easy to set up, easy to retrieve the payments. The browser link was also simple to work with I dont know how hard was it for our guests to set up the payments so can't comment on that. I guess one addition that you can incorporate is to actually buy the stuff linked with money allocated, though I guess that would require additional prod dev on your side. Its just a thought.
