Common questions about buying from someone else’s registry

Q. Why is my search for a gift registry returning no results?

A. You may have misspelled the recipient's name. Try entering only the first few letters of the person's first and last names. If searching for a wedding registry, try the names of both the bride and groom.

Q. How can I find an REI store near me?

A. Use the REI Store Locator online, or call 1-800-426-4840.

Q. If a member sets up a gift registry, do the purchases from that registry qualify for member free shipping?

A. In order to qualify for member free shipping, you (the purchaser) must be an REI member.

What’s the difference between the REI Gift Registry and a Wish List?

A Gift Registry is generally tied to a date-specific event such as a wedding or birthday. We track items your friends and family purchase from the registry. A Wish List, on the other hand, is designed for your personal use. Because your friends or family can’t find your wish list through the REI website, it’s up to you to share it with them. Learn More about Wish Lists.
