yogiyb Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Now that they have broken off with Amazon, is anyone going to risk the new website for their holiday shopping? The past few years I've avoided the store and had everything shipped to the house. I'm a little worried about the new site. There's only 1 distribution center and right now there's a 2 -3 dayprocessing time? Amazon's toy page isn't too extensive but it's free shipping if you're in the VIP program? Any thoughts? Has any used the new TRU site yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shopping mom Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Some of the prices at Amzon.com on the toys seems really high to me. I was looking at the polly pockets and wondering if it was a pricing error of if they think I am crazy. I usually try to price match TRU somewhere else.

I usually try to price match TRU somewhere else.Amazon prices if found to be high might be because it is an item being sold by an individual not a store. Toys R Us is no longer affilated with Amazon they have their own website so the toys listed on Amazon maybe from Target or it maybe an individual. The prices are also high because Amazon charges about 20% to list those items, its steep to list there..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novac Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 I never liked TRU being listed at Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plaxx Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Yeah, TRU online should be better off without Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrn8 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I really like that a lot of TRU's items have free shipping now. When they were affiliated with Amazon, they had a flat rate on each item and that tended to add up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisKsAngel Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I guess I am in the minority here, because I loved when TRU was with Amazon and don't like it at all now that it is on its own. That being said, I hope that they still have the BF items on the website for me to order. Last year, I ordered the BF items on Thanksgiving and it saved me alot of time the morning of BF; not to mention tackling the crowded store.

dfroehlke Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I have ordered from the new web site - it took only about a week for them to arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
