If you saw us on the news, we're glad you're here. They tend to leave a little out when it comes to details. Here is the whole story about fees:
Many sites claim to be free, but simply are not. They're just clever about hiding it and trick you after signing up. Many others stay online with money from advertisers and by limiting your choices to certian stores. With My Dream Home Registry, it's free to build a gift registry and use all of our great resources. There is a fee when we process credit cards used by your guests. My Dream Home Registry must charge a 9% transaction fee to keep the site going. That's less than the cost of shipping and tax for a "traditional" registry gift, and a good bargain when you consider it covers:
That's it! There are no hidden or recurring fees, or small print. You or your guests will never be charged for any fee outside this small percentage. As you are essentially building your own registry, we are providing you with advertisement-free web page for your custom built registry, it's content, and images.
Your guests do not see this fee. If your Uncle Bob buys a $10 unit towards your kitchen, that is all he will pay. Your registry account will then get $9.10 deposited into it.
