Kohl’s WILL Ruin Your Wedding Registry
June is coming… and that means my wedding is quickly coming.
Wedding registries have been a big part that Tiffany has been working on. Recently we went to Kohls and took care of our registry. We have a lot of friends that LOVE LOVE LOVE Kohls and we both admit they have some great merchandise that we wanted to have on our wedding registry.
So we drove an hour away to our nearest Kohls store and setup a registry account.
The Manager asked for our drivers licenses for collateral so we could take the scanner and select the merchandise we wanted for our registry.
Four hours later we finally had completed our albeit short list. We double checked that the items we wanted were appearing on the scanner and then went back to the desk to get our IDs back.
About twenty minutes later because they had “missplaced” our licesnces (aka lost them!!!) we finally get our IDs back and after another series of interogations about finding everything we wanted they said it would appear online in about an hour.
We went out for dinner and drove the hour long trip back.
We spent about 8 hours of that day working on the registry. I actually took the day off for this specific task.
Leave it to a HORRIBLE retailer like Kohls to destory and waste all of that time.
Earlier today Tiffany called with an almost panic in her voice.
She went online to check our registry as she had prepared the invitations with information about our registry at Kohls.
When she got online what did she find… our wedding registry was totally and completly blank. Not a single item on it.
Yup… that is right… we wasted eight hours, I took a day off from work, we got our IDs nearly stolen by Kohls and we had our invitations already printed with information about being registered at Kohls only to find out Kohls has no information.
Moral of the story: Don’t waste your time with Kohls.
P.S
I’m forwarding information about this blog to Kohl’s. Will see if I get any response (highly unlikely).
P.S.S
We will NEVER shop at Kohls again and I’m taking the day off tomorrow to go register at Target.

IDs in order to use the scanner?? That seems really silly to me. You just gave them a bunch of personal information (I’m sure) about yourselves and your wedding and they think you’re going to just turn and run out the store with their precious scanner?
I’ve seen plenty of store scanners just setting around unattended to. Why the high security for a couple of people trying to BRING your store business. Dumb.

Thank you for this warning. How many couples have been saved from pointless scanning thanks to your experience. Try to see it from this angle and you might feel a bit bloody less stupid.
Confetti Gift Card list is also a rip. Don’t go near it.

Oh wow. That really sucks! I’m not sure if we have Kohl’s here in Canada, but even if we do, I’ll be sure not to use them for our Wedding registry!
Actually, now I come to think of it, I should probably start thinking about our Wedding Registry too.
