Baby registry when family lives abroad: Diaper Reveal vs Babylist, Amazon and MyRegistry
For relatives abroad, the question is which store they buy from. Diaper Reveal sends every guest to a store in the parents' country, so the gift is an ordinary local delivery with no customs. With Babylist, Amazon and MyRegistry the answer depends on the stores you add and whether they deliver to your address; the pages we read do not say. No cash fund on ours.

Questions
- How can relatives abroad buy from my baby registry?
- Best is to buy from a store in your country, so the gift is delivered locally. Diaper Reveal sends every guest to a store in the parents' country. Check whether the stores on any other registry deliver to your address.
- Will my relatives pay customs or international shipping?
- Not if they buy from a store in your country: it is an ordinary local delivery. A parcel posted across a border can attract customs and slow delivery.
- Does my address show on the public page?
- Not on Diaper Reveal: it is shown only to a guest who leaves their email.
- Can family abroad join my gender reveal too?
- Yes. They open one link on their phone and join the same live room, with no app or sign-up. You choose the start time to suit the time zones.
- Does it work in the UK, Canada and Australia?
- Yes. It is free in every country; gift links open a store in the parents' country, and you can add any local shop by link.
