<p>So... I learned something today:</p>
<p>When you place an online order and want to pick up at the local BB&B, you choose "Pack and Hold" EVEN THOUGH it says "ship date". The Ship Date is actually the pick up date. Doh.</p>
<p>I did a regular 'hold for pickup order' which is cancelled after three days, but when I called the store they moved my order to the Pack and Hold area.</p>
<p>NOW... I chose the Metairie location even though it appears there's another BB&B a little closer to school? I can't remember the town... Harvey?</p>
<p>Harvey is technically closer but harder to get to a little. Over the river, more local streets instead of being right off the highway. I have been there once, not that hard but Metairie a little easier I think.</p>
<p>OK great. Easy is better. :)</p>
<p>I will say, though, that the good thing about the Harvey location (and similar thinking applies to some of the Jefferson Parish stores also) is that there are a lot fewer Tulane and Loyola people there. But I have never heard any real complaints about the Metairie stores other than the Target being virtually wiped out of stuff after a day, so I guess they are ready to handle the crush. All hands on deck, I am sure.</p>
<p>The Harvey location is very easy to get to. It is off of hwy 90 which is the CCC bridge. There is also a target, Walmart, best buy and Barnes and Noble within 1/2 mile of each other</p>
<p>Well, I guess I was thinking from Tulane itself, getting to that bridge is a little harder for people that don’t know the area. I guess to some degree it depends on where you are staying. JMHO.</p>
<p>I’m with FC: I would never choose the West Bank over Metairie for BB&B. Carrollton to the I-10W and four or five exits down the road and you are there. Much easier than navigating the bridge and the West Bank in my opinion. But I suppose if you were staying on the West Bank…</p>
<p>I went to the West Bank when I was staying downtown at the Hilton Riverside. Then Harvey is both closer and fairly easy to navigate to, especially since I had my Garmin to give me directions. But yeah from Uptown, Jefferson Parish and Metairie are easier.</p>
<p>The Metairie BBB is a 2-story store attached to a mall. It has a a lot more dorm stuff than the Harvey store, but for those reasons, it is also more crowded. Good luck.</p>
