Louisa is a horrible cashier! Super rude and disrespectful! Not going there again! Her tone and the way she deals with customers is unacceptable!

My husband and I are expecting our first baby early in the New Year ( First week of January 2024) and have gone into Babies R Us multiple times to look for baby. We've been into the store four times and not once has an employee come up to us and asked if we needed help with anything. The first time the person just told us " it's still early, you still have plenty of time". We walked out empty handed. The second time we had to ask three different people to help us and were told "you can just order this online". The third time they had what we were looking for but decided to wait and put the item back, an employee saw us carrying it around then walk out without it. The fourth time was this past weekend when we were aimlessly wondering around the car seat/ stroller section with an employee just kept walking right past us until my husband had to flag her down. All around poor service to have to flag staff down when all they do is stand around waiting for you to come up to them. I've worked retail and maybe our training was different but we were taught to interact with our customers in a timely and efficient manner.

Estelle was amazing!
October 13, 2023

Wanted to start a registry at the argyle location and Estelle was very helpful, taught my mom and I how to use the strollers and start my baby registry as a first time mom. Great customer service and loved her energy!

Does not look after Customers
January 25, 2023

Babies R Us I will never feel confident to order from you again. Having waited over two months to receive goods/refund, I think your business is willing to steal money form unsuspecting customers. I am so very disappointed. I have opened a complaint case with PayPal. Very upset as I was promised a refund after my order was apparently lost!

The baby humidifier kit I bought for my nephew is rather great. It was as a present. As I was told it works great.

Costly
September 4, 2020

Here the prices are high in comparison with Flipkart or Amazon. They try to sell a discount for a price match, but good luck finding the items in any other store here. I had registered YEARS ago that I didn't realize how expensive they really were and what trouble I faced.

I was sent a $25 coupon and every time I tried to use it it said 'already used', so I contacted customer support and the representative and supervisor were extremely condescending telling me it's because I tried to purchase a discounted item. I told them all the items I can see online have and online discounted price and asked how to go about using the coupon. The supervisor stated 'well I guess you will have to find an item that isn't discounted'. Such a bad experience!
Also the baby registry app isn't working and I was told 'it will hopefully be fixed at some point'. Customer service here sucks and i regret making a registry with them. Will be switching to buy buy baby or amazon registry.

Stroller
February 1, 2020

We bought a Stroller in February 2019 it is a Graco Jogger... the baby was not born until September 2019, we are now February 2020 and the stroller snap (the metal part where you fold the stroller) Now this is not what i was expecting when you buy a $500.00 for a stroller on special to boot. Went to Babies R Us where we bought and basically was told that nothing could be done. To me this is outrageous. I was then ask did you buy our warrant, i was never offered to buy one. I do not know anyone that can afford to trow away $500.00 for nothing. Not impressed with Babies R Us or the product Graco

I LOST a great deal this weekend because of the web site having problemes. I JUST CANT PAY WITH THE GIFT CARD I RECEIVED. I am pregnant and this week I had a great coupon for 15% of my 50+ purchase. BUT IMPOSSIBLE TO USE THE GIFT CARD TO PAY. Customer service wasn't of any help. They only said that its not working for now. 2 DAYS I'VE BEEN TRYING and still they didn't repair the problem. They didn'T even wrote a message to inform the people. They could have offer me a solution. Like paying by credit card and having a refund and passing my gift card in a shop. Because the only things I found were not in the store. I AM COMPLETLY DISAPOINTED.

Gone out of Business.
December 3, 2018

This store was a great store at some point. The prices were kind of high but worth it. I used to buy babies pampers in bulk for a good price. Now, they are gone everyone. Sad. But I'm guessing Walmart did the same to this company as they do to all.

So I've never ever wrote a review about something or a company but I am extremely upset and have never had such absurd service from a company. I registered with babies r us and target. Target was great! But babies r us was literally unhealthy for me. I had 2 items I wanted to purchase on my own from my Registry after receiving my completion coupon which was the crib mattress and the bedding set. I received my completion coupon by mail and by email and I log on to purchase my items. As I'm ready to check out my coupon code turns out invalid... so I call costumer service. I had to be on the phone for 2 hours! 2 hours... with this lady who I believe had no idea on how to help me but I remained patient. She then tells me "can you hold a second" and I said "okay..." and she hangs up on me. So I'm furious! She had my email, she had my phone number so I waited a couple of days to see if she would call me back or I would receive my problem fixed by email and nothing. So I call costumer service again... and I ask to speak to a supervisor and the supervisor refuses to take my call. I'm holding for 40 minutes as the employee is trying to help me and transfer the call to "higher power" and finally a supervisor decided to take my call. She doesn't take the fact that I had to spend now 2hrs and 40 mins on the phone to get my code as a matter and just moves on to getting my order done. She places the order for me and I'm thinking maybe after she will at least apologize for everything I've had to go trough just to place an order with them. But no... she places my order and then tells me the only available store for the items to be dropped off are in Roseville, and I'm like wait... what? I thought the items would be delivered to me? She said no... that the order would be arriving at this store.
At this point I didn't care to go pick it up at a store. Whatever... I didn't even think to check to see how far away Roseville was. I mean it just had to be the nearest store to me right? I check to see after I Hangup and Roseville store is 3 hours away from me!
I was livid.
I didn't even wanna have to deal with costumer service for another 2 hours plus I really liked the bedding set so I decided I'd just go pick up my order and about a week later I have the time to go and pick up my items, I'm really upset but it's whatever now I'm just going to pick up my items and never do business with them again right?...
So i get to the store with my barcodes for the items I purchased for pick up and the girl is having a hard time finding them. I show them the email confirming that my items had arrived there and she calls her supervisor. The supervisor then tells me that my order had been canceled.
Im 37 weeks pregnant. I literally was about to have a melt down. I felt my tummy get so hard and a stabbing pain at how angry I was that I was just about to start crying there but I'm trying to hold myself together and try to explain everything I've gone through and now this. I never got an email or nothing saying my items were cancelled. So they go to the back trying to see if the items I ordered were still available and no one had purchased them after 20 mins. They find them in the back. So then the supervisor tells me that I had been refunded for the bedding but not the mattress so I would have to repay for it. So I pay... i get my items and try to move on with my day. I call my mom to vent to her about my experience with babies r us and she said "please check your account... make sure they didn't try stealing your money" so I laughed like that would really just over do things so I go look at my bank account and I had 2 transactions back to back within a minute... one for $120 (the bedding) which I paid at the store right? And then I had a second transaction right after that one for $297 from babiesrus.com
But why?
I call the store and they tell me i need to contact costumer service (great!) Im on the phone for 30 minutes and the girl tells me that I should of never been charged at the store in the 1st place...
And she's trying to transfer my call to higher power. I'm on hold for 20 mins and she then tells me that someone will contact me about the issue, she gets my phone number and no one calls me back.
The stress and anger they've caused me is not healthy for me or my baby. This is my first child, I didn't expect to have to go through something like this just to get my babies items together. I wonder what hell im gonna be put through just to get my money back that they stole. Im going to take a few days off from dealing with this terrible company because as I said, I'm 37 weeks pregnant and I'd hate for all this stress to cause me to go into labor early as I started to get pains yesterday.

I frequently shop here for my little one. Always always always happy with my purchases and the little one is even happier when she gets new toys and clothes. I've never had an issue shopping here, except one teeny tiny issue. Clerk on my last visit had an attitude that would make the devil cry, but I chalked it up to a bad day. Everyone gets one! Keep up the good work otherwise.

I shopped at this store 2 1/2 yrs ago with my daughter and new grandson. They had a very good selection of items and courteous help, but were a little too pricey for my taste. We purchased some of the same items at Wal-Mart at a much better price. BabiesRU's did have some things that we couldn't find anywhere else.
