AUSuper handy registry experience SimpleRegistry gives you all the facts straight up...except a few really important ones: 1. Probably sign up with the same email address as your PayPal account 2. Everything works in US$. If you are in the rest of the non-US$ using world (the other 96.6% of the world), you'll be wasting some money on the exchange rate. Overall, however, positive experience and made it easy for some of our overseas guests and those who couldn't make the wedding to give us a gift. I wouldn't be using it again, unfortunately. Will try to find an Australian or more flexible platform.

GBI 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!

GBGreat but a little confusing for people We thought the experience went very well. The only negative thing that we could say is that it was confusing for a lot of people on how it works. They're not used to online cash registries, especially the older generation, and we feel that had an effect on how many people gave gifts. If there was a short video (15-30 second animation) explaining how it worked that would have helped a ton I feel

GBService 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.

GBWhat you see is what you get Very user friendly and frees you from all the registry memberships and unnecessary sales pitches. We were looking to have a modest registry and linking the items we picked from various stores was easy. The ability to personalize why you wanted an item as a wedding gift helped guests connect with the couple and breaking down the items into small gifts had most of our items bought by the honeymoon! (only two left unbought out of about 13) Highly recommended!
