When one clicks the "Registry" link in the navigation of the site, they are taken to a Gift Registry landing page. The page has three buttons: create, find, and login.
To find a registry, one can only search for the registrant by name. One can't simply see a list of all active registries to find the registry they wish to shop for.
After searching for a registry by last name, the results show all of the store's active registries with a matching name.
Clicking on "View" opens the registrant's list. One can't click on a product to review details and images. One also can't change the quantity they wish to gift on this page.
The URLs for all registry pages using MyRegistry.com are the same. This makes it harder for registrants to copy a URL leading to their registry that can be shared with family and friends.
Shop Local merchants rank 700% higher than MyRegistry.com merchants.
