Amazon Registry - Welcome Box?

[aprilz81]

I have two registries, one Amazon and one BBB.  I also have a TON of hand me down items from my sister so there are some thing that I just don't need to register for.

How do I get my welcome box?  It keeps saying I need to "complete my registry" but I have everything on there that I want.

BBB you have to go the store and ask for it and amazon you have to spend $10 off the registry and then the option will pop up for you to get it.

I'm already a prime member and more than $10 has been bought off the registry.  It won't give me the check mark for the welcome box yet...  I've been adding things I have and then marking them complete and my percentage complete is going up so I suspect I have to hit 100% before they will send it to me.  It is annoying but after my shower on the 2nd I'll add things that are on my BBB registry and mark them  complete to get the box.

It looks like you have to add things to mark them complete, but you actually just have to go through their registry checklist and click all the check boxes and it will send it. I got mine a few weeks ago without anything much added to my registry.

Oooh....  I didn't realize I could check it off myself!  Thanks!

ETA:  Everything is checked off, says it is 100% complete but still no green check mark next to the welcome box...  Grrr...

How was the welcome box? Did you like what came with it??

Yeah it’s a massive pain! So you have to go through their check list and check everything off even if you don’t actually put it on your registry. You also have to purchase an item from your registry that is at least $10. You have to actually go in and order the Welcome Box. From your registry: Baby Registry > Offers & Benefits > Welcome Box. We got a onesie, a super cute swaddle, water wipes, Seventh Generation baby stuff, Dove baby stuff, a few diapers... lots of samples.

It was mostly little samples of things like wipes and a newborn diaper, some little soap samples as well. There was a bottle I’ll probably never use because we have a collection from DS.
There was a really nice swaddle in there, and a burp cloth that I’ll definitely use. Lots of coupons as well.

Did you get the hedgehog swaddle from SwaddleDesigns, hiimjamie? I have a serious swaddle problem so I didn’t go look at their other stuff, but the hedgehogs are so cute.
I have so. many. swaddles. I absolutely cannot get sucked into buying anymore.

YES!!!! It’s so freaking cute.

I finally got it ordered, it took awhile for the system to recognize that everything was checked off.

Mine says “use $35 promotional balance” does that mean it’s free basically?

Yes! The box value is $35. So they basically give you a $35 credit to make it free!

It’s definitely the best Welcome Box I’ve gotten but the most annoying one to get 😂

Thanks for the reminder to claim this! I just updated my due date from DD1’s registry and was able to get another one 😁

I need to get on top of this. I feel like I’ve slacked so much this pregnancy with registries.

We’re registered only with Amazon, it’s small bc we don’t need much but so far we have literally gotten one gift (my parents got us the crib, which is huge and I’m very grateful). It’s funny bc SO MANY people sent us stuff for our first. I don’t expect presents, people definitely aren’t required to send them, it just makes me a little sad how unexcited people are. I thought we’d at least get something from siblings and in laws too.
