Bed Bath & Beyond

Stocking stuffers done! Thank you Nancy and Teddy. Warm greetings when i walked in the door. I love the walkie talkie communication to get me where i needed to go to purchase items i came for. I stopped in before work and was wearing my name tag. Teddy asked how my day was going as he checked out my items. He called me by my name as he thanked me and told me to have a good day. He also figured out how i could use 2 coupons for the best savings.

This store has everything one could possible imagine to make your house into a home. I had a couple of questions in regards to various products and all of the staff were extremely helpful and nice. The new hire Vivian went out of her way to assist me in a department that wasn’t even her own and Lauren stepped in to give me her advice on what would be best for my distinct needs. Always a great experience at this location.
The only bad thing is they have changed their return policy so now they are like any other store rather than the elites that care about fixing the consumers problems and less about receipts and timelines of purchase. What a huge bummer.

I feel like Bed Bath & Beyond has really stepped it up.
Yesterday I planned to go to Sur La Table, Whole Foods, Target, and HEB to get items on my list. I happened to stop at Bed Bath & Beyond first because of a 20% off coupon. I was STUNNED that I was able to get EVERYTHING on the list in ONE stop at Bed Bath & Beyond.
Sure, things here are more expensive if you pay full-​price. ALWAYS wait for the 20% off coupon for major purchases.
The selection is surprisingly good for a single store. For convenience and the surprise factor (because you never know what you’ll find on clearance), I’ll start stopping here first more often.

As soon as I walked in I was greeted genuinely with a smile by a nice lady behind the counter. I was actually taken back because it was welcoming!
The store was clean, lots to choose from. I bought a SimpleHuman vanity mirror that I highly suggest. With the 20% off coupon, it was cheaper than anywhere else in town.
They do match Amazon and competitors coupons!

Interesting review — they didn’t have what we came looking for (but as of yet, we still haven’t found it), but Ron went above and beyond to try to help us, even opening up packages in an attempt to find a pillowcase that fits. They have a good selection, but the service we got from Ron made me a fan of this store.

I just want to update my review based on some of the awesome employees at this location. I’m not speaking for all of them, although there are some really friendly and helpful employees at this location.
One in particular, Bo. He went above and beyond to help me in draperies. Basically I bought a rod and end pieces and they were out of all the brackets. He called about a dozen stores that were also out of stock. He didn’t sit there and tell me that there were none left. He proceeded to contact the actual vendor so I could by them from him. Pretty impressive, above and beyond customer service.
I keep returning here because 20% coupons are plentiful and so many items make great gifts. Plus, there’s always clearance items (which the coupons work on, unlike many stores). Then there’s open box items that are discounted quite a bit.

Trotted in here one night to pick up some gifts for a wedding shower. It was easy enough to get a registry printed, but once I got it, that’s where the simplicity stopped. They do have a great selection of items, and had I not been looking for very specific items, I’m sure I would have been happy. That being said, the registry kept saying that they had stuff that they didn’t. We were there forever just trying to find an item that hadn’t somehow miraculously disappeared from the shelf.
They also couldn’t order some of the things I wanted, which was frustrating. I was told that I could go to the stores in South Austin, like Slaughter Lane, and let’s be honest, if I’m going that far, I’m taking a trip to a Spurs game while I’m at it.
In the end, I was able to get a collection of items, and I’m sure the bride is happy, but wow, was it a night. I’m sure I’ll be back when I don’t need anything, but I’d never do a registry here. Getting online next time I have to do this kind of thing.

Looked for the Beyond section and never found it. #bummer

While there isn’t much to say about this place I will say that they have an awesome return policy and they also have a great coupon redeeming policy. I have found myself coming in for my keurig vuecups and tervis cups. I also occasionally find some interesting gadgets as well. I am a fan for some things there.

This location is really hard to get to — unleess you happen to have your own car. The ‘place for starter homes/​college students’ seemingly went out of its way to locate from an easily accessible bus stop. So it’s hard to just stop in for a quickie shopping trip.
Which is a shame because the fairly well-​stocked drug store inside this location is another nearby location for the specific brand of ‘natural pads’ which I like. They’re even carrying it at the same price HEB used to carry it at.
I’d like to have options and choice in my buying.

You get what you pay for, and sometimes you get a lot less. There are reasons to shop here, though. I’m very pleased with the towels and sheets I ended up with after a few trips. If you aren’t happy, it’s very easy to return items here. Clearance items can be a decent deal. The staff is hit or miss. They seem programmed to always point you to the most expensive brands in every department. They’re very attentive, though, if you have trouble finding something. For my one shopping trip for this stuff every five years or so, I would start here and fill in the gaps elsewhere.

This is a review for the store over near the Gateway Whole Foods, Dave & Busters, etc.
I recently bought a bunch of bed stuff from here. I was unhappy with some of it. I returned a $ 100 pillow and a $ 399 foam top, and felt bad about it. But they were extremely cool about it and didn’t make me feel bad about returning the stuff at all. I got another pillow from them and had to return that one too a week later because I just didn’t like it. Again, they were completely cool about it. I actually got there right when they were closing and they still let me go in and return it. Unbelievable.
I’ve bought a lot of stuff from this store that I didn’t return, but it’s nice to know that if I need to return something they’re not going to give me a hard time about it.
Their prices are good too, especially if you have a 20% or 25% off coupon. They actually gave me my coupon back after I returned the items I used one on.
Whole-​heartedly recommend this place.
For people who are saying this place is hard to get to, I get that. I used to think that too. But if you’re coming from up North on Mopac, all you gotta do is exit Cap of Texas on Mopac and stay on the feeder until you see it on your right. Then go up to Whole Foods or Best Buy or something afterward. Couldn’t be easier. If you’re coming from North 183, exit Cap of Texas, take a left, and when you hit Mopac, get on the feeder and keep going until you see it on your right.

This bed bath and beyond store is BEAST!!! Way bigger and way more clearance section that other bed bath and beyonds. Don’t forget the 20% off coupon!

Yes… can be expensive… but check the clearance and MY MY… they have a drug store inside (also everything you see on TV infomercials.)
Ok… so checking out can take a little bit of time… but the workers there have always been incredibly helpful. This review is based on at least 5 visits.
Needed to buy new sheets… the guy in the sheet department was SOOO knowledgeable. Blew me away. He helped me find some that were soft and affordable (didn’t expect that.)
Another time I needed curtains… they have a bunch of choices but the clearance is the best or WalMart or Overstock I found to have same quality, better prices.
However… they have a drug store — who would have thought?
Also candles. but maybe I’m a cheap stake… I’m not crazy about those prices.
But. lately I’m finding myself thinking about the store more and more when I need to get something.
I am a fan :-))

Has all the house crap you need. Always get my sheets and towels here and kitchen appliances as well. Do not go without a coupon. Not only do they send them in the mail all the time but you can get some online. If you are not getting at least 20% off one item, you are paying too much.
I really, REALLY wish they had not moved. I HATE the location where they are now. I guess someone saw a map and thought, «hmmm…corner of 183 and MoPac? Sounds as good as it gets!» This person did not realize that it is not the easiest strip center to get to and the other location was MUCH more convenient.

Sure, sometimes their prices are a bit high. But you know what? There is now a Target across the street, so there you go.
I went here today searching for a Mother’s Day gift. I knew what I wanted, and I knew BB&B would have it because I’d bought one for myself there a couple of years ago. As per usual, I saw all kinds of things I wanted for myself, but luckily for my pocketbook, I only settled on one thing for myself. And, sure enough, I found the cat-​shaped toilet-​brush holder (complete with toilet brush) that I’d come for. Because what mother doesn’t want a toilet-​brush holder for Mother’s Day?
When I was standing and deciding about that thing I bought for myself, a nice young lady read my mind and asked if I wanted a cart. Why, yes, thank you! Several employees asked me if I needed help while I was there. Either I have the helpless lass look down pat, or BB&B trains its employees similarly to Whole Foods (where they all converge on you in the homeopathic medicine aisle and ask every five seconds if you need help). BB&B didn’t annoy me in this way, though, like Whole Foods routinely does.
I saw some awesome sheets for $ 39 that I almost bought, until I found the bathroom item I ended up buying. I couldn’t afford both, so one had to go back onto the shelf.
The check-​out girl was very polite and helpful, and we had a great conversation about the lingerie washing machine bag I bought.
I parked light years away from the store, and upon rolling my cart back toward the store after I’d unloaded it, a BB&B employee rushed over to me and offered to take the cart from me so I could get on with my day. Why, thank you very much!
Despite my affection for BB&B and its employees, you won’t catch me shopping here very often. Why? Because I seem to have little self-​control when I enter this store. In order to save my bank account from extinction, I must resolve to only shop here once per year. I must… I must…

I don’t shop at BBB very often, but I have found myself here a few times over the past month for either wedding presents or Christmas presents. 2 out of the 3 times I have gone I was helped by Ando (I hope I have his name right) and I was blown away by his customer service. A few weeks ago I was debating between two different pans when he came up and asked if he could help me out with anything. Clearly he could see the look of desperation on my face since I was unable to make a decision for myself. We talked a bit about what I was looking for and who it was for and then he gave me his opinion on which pan he would purchase and why he would purchase it.
Fast forward to today when I was there looking for an aerator and decanter for red wine when his knowledge helped me out. I saw a product on their website and went to the store looking for it (to late to buy online since it was for a Christmas present). They didn’t have this product on their shelf so Ando took me to one of their computers where we looked it up so he could order it for me, only to find that they were out of stock. He then checked out other stores without any luck. He gave me a few idea’s on other wine gift ideas and even gave me a little lesson on why the decanter is important for red wine and then walked me over to where they stocked those products.
Good and helpful customer service is something that I don’t always experience in retail stores, so when I experience it I feel like all is well with the world.

Visiting to make a purchase return, the transaction was quick and painless. I was the on a mission to purchase a scented Yankee candle for a new apt, who knew there are 10,000 different fragrances and 2,356 different types. In Sensory overload, I couldn’t figure out which price went with which candle type. Put the GD price on the GD candle people! If the Yankee Candle company knew, they would probably insist on BBB clearly post the price.
Needless to say, i purchased a different candle brand that had the price clearly listed.
The store itself is organized, well stocked, and the staff is super friendly and helpful.

Cody, I’m with you.
Every time I go here, I hope that maybe I’ll find something awesome. But no. The one time I did get something decent was during the dorm room frenzy season, when I found two nice little cube-​shaped foot rests.
In general, shopping at Target is much more pleasant. I’ve even seen my little foot cubes at the Target dorm room frenzy.
In sum: do not be swayed by those 20% off coupons. Just keep driving.
And if you want to give gift certificates to newlyweds? Please try Macy’s, Target, Spec’s Liquor Stores, your favorite local spa, or even, yes, IKEA. They’re all better than BB&B.

I would like to use this opportunity to say that I will never buy anything from Bed Bath and Beyond again…
I was married last April and for our wedding we received a TON of B.B. and B gift cards. Here is something I have realized about this store. Their stuff is ridiculously overpriced (compared to Target), they have the ugliest items for sale (go look at their frame dept), and everything I have EVER bought from there has broken. The one compliment I have is that they will return anything if it breaks… but then you just get another item that ends up breaking, until you finally just give up. Not to mention that their store smells like Popourri and plastic, they play the worst music, the lines are always long, and there is no one in sight to help you!
It could be that I have spent countless hours here trying to use up all these gift cards, registering for gifts, and returning their crappy products, but I really hate this place… Wow, I feel so much better now! :)
