Wedding Blog: BD**2, T minus 100 days and counting

I had been scrounging for something on-topic to post, and it arrived via UPS. The flatware I ordered from her Macy's registry came. The registry is wrong. The pattern she chose comes in regular (shiny) and satin finish. She wants satin. The registry has it listed in regular.

GW is trying to contact the original salesperson who created the registry, in the hopes that she can change it without letting BD know. Otherwise, we'll have to let on that we were the ones who lowered the count from 10 place settings to 7, and BD will have to get the registry corrected herself. The benefit is that she gets rewarded for Macy's purchases in the form of a Macy's gift card, and gets more points for registry purchases. So I can't just exchange them for the correct finish, because at the moment it's not officially on her registry.

The oddity is that the regular finish settings were NOT the ones on sale last week. It was specifically the satin finish in the ad. We still got the sale price, and no comment was made about the difference.

I guess your guests don't care about watching the Olympics that day.

Update: Problem solved. The bridal registry person at the Macy's where I bought the flatware was MOST helpful. She fixed the registry problem while I spoke with her on the phone, then took back the incorrect items when I brought them over during lunch and ordered the new ones. The sale is still on, and so I ordered another three place settings. With the sale and other discounts, the final cost was just over $25 per setting, for an item with a regular price of $82. Heckuva markup, if they're still making a profit at $25.
