PBK/Anywhere Chair question

[swarley]

I'm buying one of these for my son's first birthday in February. I don't have a PBK near me but I REFUSE to pay the $27 in shipping costs. We are going to be near the closest one (88 miles) this weekend and I wanted to get it but I want to get it monogrammed also. How does it work if you buy it in store? Do I physically walk away with the chair and monogrammed cover? Do I order it and it ships to my house (and I still pay shipping) or do I have to go back to the store to pick it up? I'm sorry if this sounds stupid but I'm kind of going out of my way to get it and my husband will be pissed (and I will too) if we have to drive back to get it.

Have you considered an uglywhere chair? It might work out easier with the shipping costs?

[swarley]

I've considered it but they don't have the color I want. I've checked randomly over the last year and nothing!

I think they can usually monogram same day but you will probably have to go back in a few hours and pick it up. Call the store and ask.

There are two parts, a foam insert and the cover. We just took it all home and got the cover monogrammed elsewhere.

You buy the chair insert in store, but we had to buy the monogrammed cover online. Neither of the stores we've been to does monogramming in the store. You can buy the cover and get it monogrammed somewhere else if you want.

You could always get the cover monogrammed elsewhere. That doesn't have to be done by PBK.

Also, while $27 shipping IS a rip-off, I've got to think that's cheaper than making an 88 mile trip multiple times to order and then pick-up the chair. Your time alone is worth more than $27 not to mention gas and all.

I'm going to call the store and see. Thanks!

I totally agree! We're just going to be in the area this weekend and wanted to know how it worked before I wasted my time and went to the mall. I didn't want to be blindsided with having to make a return trip!

When I went to store to get crib sheets they ordered online for me from the store since they were online only. When something is ordered from the store it ships free to you, so maybe this will be the same?

Otherwise I'd buy it and take it elsewhere to monogram it.

I got the insert in person and they ordered the monogrammed cover for me online.

Oooh, I'd check on this to be sure. I was recently told that online only items are NOT able to be ordered from store for reduced shipping at all. That the online only and physical stores are quite separate. I wanted to order a duvet in store in December to save on the shipping and was unable to do so since that particular duvet was online only.
