    We bought a Magnavox television in September of 2015. The TV will now not turn on. We bought a two year protection plan. Took the TV back to Target and they said they don't handle it after 30 days. (Not told to us initially.) Phoned the number given to us and they said they don't handle until after a year! Why then did we pay for a two year plan. The protection plan states no addition fees. No additional costs. Enjoy the benefits. Easy claims process!!!! I guess they just didn't want to mention "sorry if you have no TV for weeks and good luck," oh yes and they will hang up on you - priceless. :)

    I am somewhat of an old movie buff and own a great collection either transferred to DVD or purchased DVDs. A friend told me about a movie I did not own and I did an online search - noting most movie websites did not have the movie available or a couple had it as a downloadable copy only. I do have a large digital account but prefer to own my copy so I can loan it out to friends of mine without sharing my digital access.

    Target.com was one of the very few if not the only offering this movie as a DVD but to get free shipping you must spend $25.00. So I selected to not only order the movie I wanted, "Murphy's War", but also order a second movie to push the bill over the twenty-five dollar mark. I placed my original order on Jan. 14, 2016 and was promised my order would arrive between Jan 19 & Jan 22.

    On Jan. 16th I receive an email stating my shipment had been delayed on one item (the movie I wanted) and stated I could either cancel or accept a later delivery date and they would not bill my account for any items until the item shipped. I really wanted this movie so I accepted the later shipping date. I received a partial (movie I added to make the minimum) delivery on Jan 18th. To this writing (March 12) I have not received the movie I wanted but my wife notified me on Feb 20th that my Visa has been billed by Target.com. It is the only item pending I have from Target.com so I assumed it was shipped. Received another notice today stating:

    "We just found out about an unexpected delay that affects your order (Order #**) placed on 01/14/2016. We're sorry, but we may not be able to deliver your item(s) by the estimated delivery date you received with your original order. If you still want your item(s), you will need to approve the new estimated delivery date(s) by visiting your order detail page. We will do our best to fulfill the delayed item(s) from your order, but if we can't, we will let you know as soon as possible. If we don't hear from you, your item(s) will be canceled. You may also visit your order detail page to cancel item(s) if they are backordered or if you no longer want them. Remember, you will not be charged for any item until it ships. If items need to ship separately, your shipping charges will not increase."

    I extend again but believe they will never ship the movie and still state they will not bill my account until it is shipped. If that is so why did they bill my account? Terrible customer service. The machine just keeps you on hold then hangs up.

    I placed an order on 02/24. It is now 5/10 and I still don't have my order. There was a glitch on their website so my order shipped out to my brother in NJ and not to my address. I called Target as soon as I saw this mistake and you cannot modify your order even after it was within the hour I placed it. They gave me the runaround, they contacted FEDEX (who are as incompetent as they are), and Target had stated Fedex will ship it to the proper address. Today, I called both Fedex and Target and both the packages got separated (I ordered 2 sets of dining chairs). One package I had to pick up because there was no way Fedex will deliver it to me and the other was in transit in NJ. ::sigh:: I decided to cancel my order because the pickup was 2 hours away. I can't drive 2 hours to pick up my order they were suppose to deliver it to me if they can get the address right?! Never again. Consumers beware. Do not let this happen to you.

    HORRIBLE customer service at store location. Trying to contact the store in Wyoming, MI 49509 and the automated system keeps hanging up, EVERY time. I called another store and they said they have the same problem with the store in Wyoming. So I called customer service, which is somewhere in the Central America area, near Nicaragua which is 2,000 miles from my house. The store in Wyoming is 2 miles from my house. The customer service was able to answer my question as to if a product was available in the store. This does not make sense to me that I could get the answer to my question from 2,000 miles away when the store is just 2 miles away.

    I visited Target @ Santee 92071 location to be exact today, and I would like to share my bad experience, I purchased 3 items and all of those 3 item prices are wrong. I blamed it on wrong stocking, and for mostly of the products are everywhere. I bought the Busy dog treat by Purina and the shelves price said $2.99. When it comes to register it came up $8.59 then a hair conditioner by Coppola shelves price was $3.97. Register reads it for $20.99, then the Revlon colorsilk for $2.97. Cashier have to double check it before it gave me the right price.

    C'mon 3 item all priced wrong!! I brought it to the supervisor attention and even took a pictures of the item to prove it to her, she was hesitant to deal with the issue but did it anyway and gave me the discount. I'm totally dissatisfied with their customer services and the store organization was horrible. To all consumer out there beware on pricing especially if you're purchasing a lot of stuff, double check your receipt to ensure you're being charge correctly.

    Purchased a beautiful (A&B Home Glass Vase 22") online in January. When the shipment came, instead of what I ordered, there was a short, fat, round silver vase, so I immediately contacted Target to let them know they sent the wrong one. They seemed to be apologetic now stating to keep the wrong vase and they would ship out the correct one. The 2nd time I received the shipment, it was the same ugly vase again.

    I contacted Target, spoke with a supervisor who instructed me to wait one week until they could resolve the matter, then to reorder again. The 3rd time I ordered the vase I called in and spoke directly with a CS rep stressing the previous issue. I reiterated to her at least 4 times to make certain that the same ugly vase was not sent to me; I even directed her to the link where the correct vase was located. She reassured me that she would ensure that I would receive the correct item.

    Last week UPS delivered another package from Target. Inside was the fat, ugly vase once more. I called Target to speak with a supervisor; instead kept being transferred to poor English-speaking foreigners. I continued to request to speak to someone in escalations and was finally transferred to an English-speaking person in Texas. This person sounded like she was on some controlled substance, very slow, ditzy, and uninterested. I again recounted the situation to her and finally after her dumbed downness continued, I finally had to terminate the call. She did edge in barely that Target would contact me when the warehouse matter was resolved by email. So far nothing. I do not feel appreciated by Target as a valued customer. They are too many dumb ones employed there who simply don't give a damn one way or the other. Pathetic!

    Since having a baby I have spent thousands at Target. I had no order issues until very recently so I wasn't aware of how awful their customer service is. I made a purchase online and my order was sent to a wrong address. I called Target for two days in a row, only to get incompetent employees on the phone who kept putting me on hold for 10-15 minutes at a time and eventually hanging up on me. Half of them couldn't even speak proper English. After around my 10th phone call I asked to speak with the Manager right away. She proceeded to call the Post Office and reroute the package. My issue was finally resolved but after this experience I am cancelling my RedCard with Target, and I pledge to never ever shop there again.

    I'm going to start off saying I have always been a faithful Target shopper, but since this experience, I feel different about Target now. I recently purchased a Sony hctc80 sound bar from Target. It was on sale for a great price, beating any competitors. My husband opens the box only to find a 2 by 4 inside!!! I didn't purchase this off the street, it was from one of the biggest chain stores around!!! We head to Target to return it only to be told that I wouldn't be able to get a refund or an exchange. At this point I was livid. I purchased this off target's shelf, which someone had to have purchased and obviously returned and an employee must have reshelved the product!!! Why was I paying the price of another's mistake. The cashier specifically told me her manager told her to say this to me. I then ask to speak to this manager where I'm told that he will have to see my receipt and he would go and check it out.

    We wait there for almost 45 minutes where we are FINALLY called over by another cashier and offers her apologies and gives us a 3 dollar discount on our purchase. A 3 dollar discount!!! After I'm standing there with my husband, livid and being doubted on, manager then comes back and offers apologies and says we were correct. The box we purchased was taped up and none of the other products of the same brand were. Therefore he brought out another one for us to take home, where we then ask to open it up before we head home. He opens it and it was all there. Remote, wires, sound bar and sub woofer. He asks cashier to ring us up, it takes another 10 minutes to ring us up only to notice it was the incorrect product being rung up. I was about to lose it, but I remained calm. This wasn't how we expected to spend our day, Valentines day at that.

    Anywho, the product was finally brought out, we got rung up and headed home. I couldn't believe the situation. As a customer I don't feel like I can trust products on Target shelves anymore. Another cashier told us that it had recently occurred with an Xbox 360, so I wasn't the first person this happened to. Do the employees not check out the products if they're returned?! I work in customer service and the way we were treated was by far the lowest of expectations. Worst customer service I have EVER had. I won't be returning to any Target stores.

I have also bought baseball cards from Target and they marked labels wrong. The label said 2015-2016 but I got 2014 cards. I did not get the recent players or layers on the right team.

    I had placed this order on 2/5. Within 2 hours, I realized that it was the wrong order and called to cancel. The agent who took the order confirmed that the order was cancelled. On 2/6 the item was shipped and my credit card was charged. I received the item on 2/12 and called to have UPS come and pick up the item, since I am traveling and going to either the Target store or the nearest UPS location is not an option for me... as that is why I bought this online in the first place. The people I spoke to today 2/12, were referring to your standard policy of returning the item to the store. But the issue is that there is no one at the delivery address to return the item. I tried explaining that to the agents, but they do not seem to understand English. I am so very disappointed with the Target.com shopping experience, that I am never going to shop on your website again!

    I called Target, spent a full two hours on the phone, spoke to 6 different reps and no one could tell me what the charges on my Target credit card were for. I was transferred from Target.com to Target Guest services - back and forth - placed on hold for long periods of time and when the rep would come back on, they could not tell me what any of the charges were for, even though I gave them three different order numbers. The receipts I received were completely different than what my credit card was charged.

    Every month when I receive my credit card statement for my Target Red Card, the charges never match the online receipts I receive. This last month, it was particularly difficult to comprehend the charges on there which were totally different from the online correspondence I received on the Target orders I placed. Hard to believe what terrible service I received. I will not be online shopping at Target.com in the future. Not worth the hassle and I have no idea what they are charging me for!

Now I have since received 4 emails stating my order has been delayed. It has been almost a month now and they refuse to cancel my order and I have yet to receive the item.

    The worst customer service I have ever received from target.com. I originally ordered a bench on Dec. 24, 2015. Unfortunately the box and the product arrived severely damaged. I still wanted the bench so I brought it to my local target to exchange but was told that they couldn't exchange it because I bought it on target.com and they are 2 different entities. So I got online and initiated the EXCHANGE, logged it to UPS and mailed it back to target.com.

    I had been waiting patiently for weeks, then on February 7, 2016 I received an email that my order was canceled. I called target.com and was informed that there was nothing they could do, period. My only option was to buy the bench again at a now much higher price and/or they would refund my original purchase. I already paid the balance on my target card so it hardly does me any good for them to refund the balance to my target card. Could they complete the exchange - no. Could they sell me the bench again at the original price - no. Could they explain why my order was canceled - no. Had my money been returned yet - no.

    The representatives were unhelpful, rude, and condescending. I have never been so dissatisfied and disappointed with service from a company. I am feeling pretty unappreciated after all these years and all the purchases I have made with my target card, and I am thinking it is time to close my account so that I never have to deal with target.com again.

    I purchased an air mattress which turned out to be defective. I went back 10 days later and they refused to accept the item back saying it was opened and only allowed me to exchange it with another mattress. I was literally forced to do the exchange with whatever other mattress they had in the store. Later when I read the reviews about the new mattress that I had to take in the store, I was assured by the users that it was a bad product. I went back to the store to return the unopened mattress they refused the return. Basically once you buy an air mattress you are saying bye to your money, because they bound you to exchanging it to another mattress in their store, even if they don't have what you need. Horrible customer service and terms. STAY AWAY from TARGET.

    On December 23, 2015 I called to Target Customer Service to make and order for store pick-up for Electric oven. The Target representative created order and misspelled my name. I pointed his attention to his mistake, and he said that he has cancelled this order and creating a new one. After I picked my oven in the nearby Target store, on January 13, 2016 got delivery of similar oven to my home. I called Target and found that initial Target's created mistaken order was not cancelled. Representative suggested to send me return UPS label and send it back, and confirmed that money would be immediately credited back to my credit card, so I returned it. In 10 days money still were not returned, and after several calls finally today, on February 3, 2016, after my fourth phone inquiry representative agreed to return money.

    Summary: Here is in essence how Target Customer Service works: Target representative on the first place made mistake on order name. He mislead me by assuring that they correct the mistake and cancel incorrect but did not do it. Mistakenly send Item to my home address instead of requested store pick-up. Make me spend time for driving to the UPS store to return the Item that I did not even ordered. Keep my money more than month and finally after 4 attempts agreed to return. Conclusion: Target Customer Service is unqualified and non-professional. Very unsatisfactory and not recommended.

    I opened a Target Red Card account a year ago right at Christmas, so I could get the promotional discount on a couple of iPads for my kids. It was a really busy time of the year, and I forgot I had opened that account, as I didn't need the credit in order to pay for the iPads. I never thought about it again until about 6 months later when I received a notification from a credit bureau that my credit rating had taken a hit. I called to get the details on why (always being a prompt payer, and having a high credit score) from the credit bureau. They informed me it was due to the Target Red Card non-payment - ouch!

    I immediately called Target, and paid the bill, and explained I had NEVER received a call or a bill - NEVER a call or a bill. As we looked further into the account, we realized they didn't have a phone number listed for me, and the address they had on file was an address I hadn't resided at for the last 10 years, which is why I never received a call or a letter about the balance due. I have repeatedly asked them to reverse the negative credit on my account, as my credit history shows I never pay late. In addition, I shop at Target regularly, as I have 3 kids in elementary school. I'm a supporter of the chain, and they're showing that they're not willing to support their consumers. I'm really frustrated, and don't know how to get them to hear me about this - because they continue to say that the matter is closed. Really?

I continued to shop and saw that the Fitbits were two different sizes and I didn't know which size to get, so I put them on a shelf near the checkout and bought my other stuff. I still didn't know if I should get them or not so I went back and got them and almost bought them but decided to wait until my kids were with me.

    So I put them back down, admittedly not in the correct spot, but as I was leaving I was told to never come back to that store. I've spent thousands of dollars in that store and I've never stolen anything from them or any other store. To be talked to like that by someone after I did nothing wrong besides putting something back in the wrong place is ridiculous. All this after I spent $250 in the store that day.

They asked me to provide a lot of information (i.e. date of purchase, invoice/transaction number, item SKU, etc.), and they offered me a gift card for my trouble (albeit, the gift card was only for $10, so it didn't make up for the money I was charged.) I assumed they were looking into it and would then refund my money. (I realize it wasn't a lot of money, but it was the principle of the situation.) A few days later, they emailed me again and asked for a copy of my receipt.

    After that, I didn't hear back from them. It took a couple of emails from me before they responded. Their response was that they were "researching" the issue. (During the interim, I had yet to receive the gift card.) This went on for a couple of weeks until they just stopped responding. So I called their customer service number. The first guy I spoke with had such a thick accent that I couldn't understand one word he said. I asked to speak with someone else - she also had an accent, but I could understand most of what she said, which was (again), they're researching the issue. I called two more times. (Same experience with the second call.) On my third call, I was passed to a supervisor (who was an idiot - don't understand how they would hire someone like her as a supervisor). She said I would have to obtain a video of the - my order being processed (seriously?!?) or they can't help me.

    How the H am I supposed to do that? Shouldn't that be their job? I don't even know where the processing center is - probably in the Philippines - oh, did I mention that their customer service people are in the Philippines? (Unfrigginbelievable!) Then, she basically called me a liar (not in so many words, but then again, she barely spoke English). So the long and short of it is that I didn't get my money back and after asking multiple times (in the above communications), I finally received the gift card. I haven't used it. The idiots in their Customer Service (not) Dept. obviously didn't get the memo regarding customer satisfaction. [Note: Approx. 1-2 months after this incident, I saw a news report about Target saying that customers were being ripped off at the registers (paying for items not purchased or items being left out of their bags), so I guess you have to wonder.

    I went to buy men's briefs tonight at the Target Store. I found Hanes briefs (6 pack) for buy two and get one free. Unfortunately only two were available in 44 to 46 size and none other available in the stock. So I picked the two available and walked up to the cashier and told him that only two were available and the 3rd that is supposed to be free is not available in the store. I told the cashier that I will pay for the two but he has to give me a rain-check so I can come and pick the free package later, or just give me a rain-check so I can come and buy later for same price. The cashier told me, "Nothing I can do about it." After that the cashier waved to the female manager who came and told me that she cannot give a rain-check on the briefs. Sadly returned home.

    I called Target Mobile the day before Black Friday to discuss their iPhone deal. The mobile worker informed me that the $250 gift card was offered to all iPhone purchases, regardless of plan. Upon waiting 4 hours in line the same worker informed me the deal changed and I would only get a gift card if I joined Verizon's edge program. After waiting hours, and not wanting to impact the other members on my family plan I foregone the gift card, but was frustrated with the false advertisement, because I could have gotten a better deal elsewhere. I then decided to email Target's customer service department about my frustration.

    The agent informed me to bring my email to a customer service desk to receive my $250 gift card. I did so, and was then told by customer service that although the email was in fact sent from their guest relations they could not just hand over a gift card. I then tried to recontact guest relations via email, and received no response. Then I turned to calling guest relations, to which they told me there was nothing they could do about me being given false information twice, about me being able to receive the $250 Target gift card.

    A cashier refused to check me out because I was asking to make two separate purchases. When I asked for the manager to assist in obtaining a resolution, the manager ordered the cashier to close the window and told me to figure out another way to pay for my items. It was incredibly insulting and absurd. The manager refused to even listen, and kept interrupting and yelling over me to shut me up and get me out of the store.

    I bought a $1960.00 gift card to buy furniture online in Target. I will NEVER stop at Target again after being a faithful and loyal customer for years. I bought the gift card in November and I am still dealing with these people because I am still owed money for items I did not receive and paid for. I have talked to supervisors, account specialist--I have been promised action, promised follow-ups, promised emails, promised payment via egiftcard, promised payment in the mail and none of this has been delivered. It has been incredibly frustrating and time-consuming to put it mildly.

    I knew they were busy during the holiday so I waited until after the holiday to continue to fight for my money and still no action. Everyone has been nice over the phone and yet no one has been able to solve my issue. I would not recommend this store to anyone. I am in retail and I am sensitive to customer service. This experience with Target has completely changed my view of this company. Again, I will never spend one more penny at Target. EVER! So far, there has been no resolution. I have no sofa and no money and I am put in the position of calling them to get my money.

When I sent this review, target.com said they will review and it automatically, even said "success." But Target has not posted it.

    My brother was in a hurry to buy presents on December 24th 2015. He grabbed the first top he saw (maternity) and purchased it for me as a gift. When I opened it, I laughed and so did my family since it was maternity and I am not pregnant. However, knowing Target had a great return policy, I knew I could exchange my top or receive store credit. I decided to go back to the store on the 26th, 2015, two days after it was purchased. When I went in to ask for store credit, the employee gave me my card and I happily walked into the clothing isle.

    Unfortunately, when I looked at my receipt I noticed I only received $17 back as opposed to the price of the top which was $29.99. I quickly went back to customer service where the employee rudely told me that the top had been discounted during Black Friday back in November. She also said that since I did not have a receipt, I had to be given the lowest amount that it had sold within 90 days. I asked her then if it would have been easier if my brother had paid with a debit card and she replied yes.

    In the end, I decided to ask if I could just exchange the top for something that my son needed (a potty training seat) and she denied my request. She simply said that I could not exchange it because she didn't know if I was lying about how much I paid for it. I left angry and then showed her the same top and she just said, "Sorry, I know we have this top in store, but we cannot give you a return or an exchange!" I left and she and another worked laughed and I just left the store very upset.

    I don't spend $1 or $50 per visit at Target, I usually spend over $200 and I always brag about their return policy. How could they be so rude about it. If they feel so strongly about this policy then target should have a sign saying, "Buyer beware when paying with cash. A full refund can only be issued if the item hasn't been lowered within a 90 day period if a receipt is not present during a return." So thank you rude target employees. I will take my money elsewhere and I will have my family do the same. I know one person doesn't make a difference, but at least this experience can get out there for others to know.

    Sale price was not honored when it was Targets mistake. I ordered a vanity set from Target for my wife on 12/24/15 for a Christmas. I was happy that Target was have a sale and the Vanity was discounted $30.00. When I ordered the vanity I requested an in store pick-up. On 12/24/15, Target notified me via email stating I would receive an email when my purchase was ready for pick-up. When I received the initial email Target estimated the pick-up would be ready early January 2016.

    I checked the status of my order on 1/7/16, since IU haven't heard anything. When I spoke with the representative she stated that my order had been canceled because I did not pick it up. I told her I was never notified. She referred me to her Supervisor LaShawna (employee #**) who said they would not honor the $30 discount on the vanity. She said that several emails were sent to me stating my order was ready for pick-up. I asked her to email me proof of the emails sent out and she told me that she could not give me access to that information. She told me the only thing she could do is re-order the item for me, but at the regular price. I do not understand why they would not honor a price when it was their mistake. I ended up reordering the Vanity on my own and had to pay an extra $30.00. I shop at Target often and am very upset and frustrated with their customer service.

    I bought a TV from Target.com in NOV and this deal came with a promotional Target gift card $100 plus my red card $30 discount.

They sold it at $599.99. Target charged my credit card in 2 transactions. One is $599.99 -$30 (red card discount) - $100( promotional gift card) = $514.94. And then another transaction for $100 (promotional gift card).

    They said they can't do anything about it since it's not in stock anymore, but just do the refund to me. They refunded $514.94 to me. I called and asked them to refund the $100 promotional gift card that they have charged me and I told them I didn't do anything about the card yet. They told me they couldn't do anything about it, they couldn't refund it to me. With that promotional, I think I can get a good deal of it, but NO; instead I need to pay $130 more to get the same TV at Best Buy plus they forced me to use their gift card!!!

    On 12/18/15, I was looking for a nice TV for my 13 year old niece's Christmas present. And after browsing online, I saw that Target had a 32" Samsung LED TV for $199.99 that included a FREE $25 gift card. I don't usually shop at Target but I thought that was a pretty good deal so I ordered it online for store pickup in 2 hours. Since there was a Target a little ways away from my job, I went and picked it up on my lunch break. My receipt online said 199.99 for the TV, $17 for the extended service plan and a FREE $25 gift card. Total $232.18. After I picked it up, I had no intention of returning it ever. Imagine my surprise when my niece had it set up in her room and it started turning on all by itself on 12/26/15. She screamed. She literally screamed until we came running in her room to see what was wrong. She was crying, saying "my TV is haunted!" True enough, the TV kept turning itself back on whenever we turned it off. It was scary.

    I boxed the TV up and removed it from her room but had to wait until 12/30/15 to take the TV back. I even tried to put in a claim to get it fixed instead of returning it. The online claims system told me to take it back to the store instead. Fine. On 12/30/15, I returned it to the Target that was closer to my home. When I got to the counter, I told the rep that I needed to return the TV because it was turning on by itself and scared my niece. I used the exact phrase "it's doing some poltergeist type things in my home". She said ok and instead of asking if I wanted to exchange it, she returned it and said she'd give me $188.99 for it. Wait, what? No, I paid $232.18 for the TV and service plan. She said that the TV was reduced in price by $25 because of the gift card they gave me when I purchased it. I said, are you talking about the FREE gift card that was advertised as FREE with purchase?

    To make matters worse, she claimed that the service plan wasn't on my receipt. The same receipt that I bought the TV on? Why would I buy them separately? After I finally convinced her that I did indeed buy them together, she refunded me a total of $207.18. So in the end, I had to pay for this FREE gift card? Where did it ever disclose that in the offer? Had I known, I would've never bought the TV because I couldn't even return the gift card because it was store policy. Say what? So she gave me a $207.18 store credit and a rain check for the Samsung TV at $199.99 since it was off sale. Hello. Because you kept my $25, I don't have enough to even buy the same model TV with service plan, not that I even wanted to. My niece would've had a fit. I had to get a TV for my niece that day so I ended up having to pay an additional $28.21 to buy an LG TV that was 219.99.

    Not to mention, there were two associates in the electronics department but neither offered to help me with anything. I had to interrupt their conversation and ask if I could check out back there. So sorry for making you do your job. Instead of making a scene in the store since I was beyond mad, I left with the LG. I called Target Customer Service on my lunch break on 1/3/2016 to express my dissatisfaction and received no help at all. The lady didn't even understand what I was telling her. She kept trying to refund me $232.18 in about 10 days. I told her no each time because I had already received $207.18. She didn't understand anything so I asked for a manager. After being put on hold, she came back on the line to talk to me again. No, I wanted a manager. She asked me to hold again but I told her my lunch break was over and I'd call back after work.

    I called back after work around 9pm and after speaking to a lady that could care less, she put me on hold... for 2 hr and 5 min. I hung up. It was 11:12pm by then and they told me they closed at 11pm. I felt as if they put me on hold just to make me hang up. I even had them on another phone which they put me on hold for half an hour while I was still on the other phone. How low. I will be calling back on Tuesday and guess what? I have the whole day off. Oh and I just checked my online account to print my receipt to upload here and how odd I find it that it can't be found at this time. Hmmm...

    I ordered an item on Target.com and I waited for a week for it to come but I never received it. Then I notice that it wasn't even shipped. I had to call FedEx to find out what happen and they direct me to call Target. So I called and found out that Target made a mistake. The item that I want is out of stock now and all they could do is give me a refund or a 10% discount if I place another order. When I purchase the merchandise that I want it was 50% off and now they only offer 10% discount. Target workers are responsible for the mistake that they made not me. If I take the offer that they give me I would have to pay a lot more money than I should have. As I mention before the responsibility is not on me so why should I pay for their mistake.

    Nikki refused to give me an employee ID number, her job title, and told me that there was NO ONE above her that I could speak to. She said she was the highest I could speak to and apparently does not have a boss. According to Nikki, she is the boss. (her words, not mine) She attempted to disconnect the call but must not have realized that she put me on hold instead of hanging up on me because I heard music. I stayed on the line to see how long she would leave me on hold. I was on hold for 50 minutes before I disconnected.

    Finally I was told it was a pricing error on their part. I asked if they would honor the price that I originally was purchasing it at since it's not my mistake. No. Then they transferred me to a supervisor who only offered 10 percent off the new price. I asked to speak to someone else and I was transferred all over the place until I was hung up on. So I called back. Was offered 20 percent off the new, very high price. So upset! Target often has pricing errors and always refuses to honor them!

    If I could give ZERO stars I would. Customer NO Service. I am writing this because in the last 7 days I have spent well over 5 hours trying to rectify a customer service related issue. On December 18th I placed an online order for an Apple watch. I immediately noticed my order did not reflect the offer for a free $100 gift card so I called customer no service line and spent two hours trying to fix the problem. At the end of the call I was told my order was cancelled and I could go back online and replace my order. Because I had little faith in customer service team member I spoke with (In Nicaragua Call Center), I called back on the 19th of December only to find out that not only did they not cancel my order they changed it for two watches.

    So, at this point my credit card has pending transactions on not one, not two but three Apple watches. They tell me there will be a hold on my credit card for 7-10 days for the first cancelled order. Fine. But they assure me the new order will be processed and arrive by December 24th, as I paid extra for shipping. December 24th rolls around and no Apple watch. I call again. This time speaking to someone in the Philippines. I spending 30 minutes on hold waiting for customer service only to be told there is no tracking information and that it looks as if UPS has not yet picked up my order and there is no way of knowing what facility it will be shipped from or when I can expect it to arrive. I ask to speak with a supervisor and am put on hold for another 1 1/2 hours only to find out they left me on a loop and the office had closed 30 minutes prior with no one taking my call.

    So, I now do not have an answer to where my daughter's Christmas gift is. Life goes on right. Today, December 26th, I call and sit on hold for 30 minutes. I speak with another customer service rep who says she is going to replace the order and give me express shipping. 20 minutes go by and she comes back on the line and says unfortunately she is unable to do what she had just said and she would transfer me to her supervisor who can resolve the issue. Another hour goes by with me on hold.

    Finally, I speak with a supervisor who tracks the order, sees a ticket has been created but cannot verify if the package has been picked up by UPS. She is unable to ship out a new order because it is a high ticket item. Mind you, my credit card still has a hold on it for three times the value of the ONE watch I ordered. I'm now told she will forward my information to corporate and hear from someone in the next 48 hours. She tells me because this is an Apple product and not just a regular Target product, only corporate can deal with the issue. I ask why sell an item if customer service is not authorized to fix any issue that may arise. Her response to me, "That's a good question". Great.

    Now I get to wait two more days to hear from corporate as to how they are going to fix this problem which means it was a waste of money paying extra for shipping on a product that was supposed to arrive on the 24th and now I won't even get an answer as to when the hell I can expect to get the Apple watch until at least December 28th. I have never had such terrible customer service in my life and I thought Comcast gave poor service. How their online store stays in business is beyond me. Bottom line. I want the Apple watch I ordered on the 19th that was to be delivered on the 24th and I want it three days ago. Last time I will be spending my money at Target.com

    Target played music in their stores until the Christmas season. When I asked why they stopped they responded they wanted a stress free shopping experience for customers. They can sell overpriced Christmas ornaments, gift wrap and home decorations to those that observe Christmas, but can't play music because it would offend someone? I am offended by their political correctness.

    On Dec 24th, I placed an order for in store pick up. I was traveling and wanted to pick up some last minute gifts. I received a confirmation via text message that my order was ready for pick up. When I arrived at the store the clerk went out, pick up my order, returned and said "your receipt was email to me". I said "wait, the order isn't complete". I was hit with "didn't you read your email?" as if it was my fault the order wasn't complete. When I told the clerk that I was traveling and did not have access to my email, she became very argumentative again as it was my fault they were unable to fulfill my order. At that point I told her to cancel the order. The clerk then tried to tell me she could not cancel my order. I then spoke with a manager and was again told I could not cancel my order.

    After arriving to my destination, I called Target customer service. I was told that this was not the case and apologized to for such poor customer service and that the order would be canceled. Fair enough I guess. On the 26th, I receive an email stating that those item had been shipped to my home. I never stated I wanted them ship to my home. And why would I want them shipped to my home 5 days after Christmas? I contacted customer service via internet chat where I was once again told I could not cancel my order. Never again will I shop at Target stores. They lost what I thought was a good customer over $28.11. I guess they want to keep up with Walmart.

    Ordered an Xbox on 12/13 which is plenty of time for it to be delivered. It's 12/26 and I still haven't received the package. I called Target and spoke with a supervisor who told me once it leaves their warehouse that package is no longer their concern. I asked for a refund so I can go to store and buy it since I didn't have a gift to give my kid. They refuse to give me a refund and said there is nothing else they can do for me. They really don't care once they have your money. Very disappointed in Target. It's a store I shop at every week, I won't go back!

    Dec 21, 2015. Purchased a gift card for Fandango from Target.com. I requested email delivery. I received a confirmation email within 2 hours stating that the order should be processed and completed within 4 hours. Dec 23, 2015. I received an email stating that the delivery was delayed until Dec 27.2015 and then it will be shipped. Dec 23, 2015. I called to cancel the order. It was a Christmas gift for an out-of-town recipient so email delivery was perfect and it should have been completed by Christmas. (I subsequently ordered another gift card to replace this card). Dec 24, 2015. I received an email stating that the order was being shipped and should arrive by Dec 27, 2015. Dec 24, 2015. I called to inquire about my cancellation. Target.com told me that my cancellation was denied due to their gift card policy. I requested to make a dispute but they refused. Points of disagreement:

    1). TARGET: They cannot cancel an order after it has been shipped, picked up, or emailed. ME: I made my cancellation request on December 23, 2015 and did not receive an email stating that the order was shipped until December 24, 2015 therefore I requested the cancellation within the time period that is covered in their policy.

    2). TARGET: Does not have a gift card refund policy. ME: I did not request a refund, I requested a cancellation. They do not have any information regarding cancellation of gift card order purchase on Target.com. The only reference that they made to their cancellation policies was in my order confirmation email that stated that I would cancel the order before it was delivered, emailed, or picked up.

    3). TARGET: The dispute center stated that I authorized the purchase so I cannot dispute it. ME: I did authorize the purchase with a very specific delivery method; that it would be delivered online and that it would be delivered before Christmas. Because the delivery method was not suitable for my time frame, I requested that the order be cancelled prior to them delivering the card. My cancellation request demonstrates that I was no longer authorizing the charges. Additionally, I was well within Target.com's own cancellation policy.

    4). TARGET: Stated that the gift card has been available online since Dec 22, 2015. ME: I never received an email stating that the gift card was ready. Instead I received an email on Dec 23, 2015 stating that the gift card had been delayed. I subsequently had to purchase a separate gift card to replace this one that would not be sent on time. Target's error caused this problem.

    Another time at that same store, I needed help getting a tricycle for my baby off the shelves and I had to walk around to look for someone that works in the store. I finally found someone at the electronic department and he was doing something I had to stand until he was done. In his defense, he was locking up something. Once he was done we started walking towards the toys area and a white lady came and asked him where she can find something and he tells me and my one-year-old baby to wait and takes off to show her where the item was. He had to pass the toys area to show her something in the home goods department. I went off on him when he came back and another man that worked in that department came and tried to calm me down and gave me a discount not much but he, at least, acknowledge what happened was not right and apologize.

    The other incident was something rang up wrong and I informed the cashier it said $19.99. She wanted me to take her back to show her the price, I walked her back to the electronics department and they had like 6 left on the shelf and the price tag did say $19. 99 but she tells me oh the price is for something else. We start arguing over it and someone from the department came and told her to adjust the price. He told her they have to honor it.

    I don't like shopping at Walmart because of the high traffic and no customer service. At least with Walmart, you walk into the store knowing products are cheaper to compensate for the lack of customer service. They have closed the closest Safeway around my house. The employees at Target are making it impossible for me to shop in that store. I know my money is green just like everyone else's. I really don't understand, do I have to get dressed up every time I go to target to get acknowledged by the employees and get treated appropriately?

    I ordered an exercise bike for Christmas. It arrived on 12/21 and it was the wrong bike! A much cheaper model but I started putting it together anyway because I'm an idiot. I get halfway done and I'm looking at it like, "Wow, this looks cheap. I don't think this is the one I ordered." Well, it wasn't and after researching, I discovered the model I received was $75.00 cheaper than the one I ordered and paid for. I call Target and they keep me on hold for over 30 minutes and then I finally get to talk with someone who can barely speak English.

    The woman tells me I have to return the bike they sent me and when they get it THEN they will send me the bike I ordered. So now, here we are 4 days before Christmas and I have to disassemble and repack, then find a UPS store somewhere and drop it off. The bike I actually ordered won't arrive until after Christmas and that really sucks. You think Target would at least try to fix THEIR mistake by sending the new bike first but nope. It's all on me. I will never step foot in a Target store or order anything from these clowns ever again.

    I Ordered two items as Christmas presents on November 30th. The package took way too long to arrive. I did not get it until December 18th. When the package arrived, one item was not in the package. I called Target and let them know and the guy on the line (apparently their call center is in India or some country like that) told me that it would be 3-5 business days. I told him that I needed the item by Christmas and I ordered it well enough in advance that I should get it. I mentioned to him that Target should send it to me the quickest way possible since it was their fault and it is to be given as a Christmas Present. He assured me that Target promises to get packages by Christmas.

    I looked at the order information and it stated that the package is expected to arrive between 01/06/16-01/08/16. I called back and the representative I spoke to (apparently also in India) said that because the order was already processed he could not modify it. So, this guy is claiming that if it was before processing he could have sent it priority overnight but the first guy was not willing to do that and was only pacifying me by promising it would arrive by Christmas via standard shipping. Angry, I told the second agent that they should bite the bullet and just send another one out priority overnight and right it off because it was not my fault. No dice! I am done with Target. They are no longer getting my business!!!

    Now, I perhaps do your shopping with another store. Might I recommend Best Buy, Walmart, anyone other than Target? Other stores will match the price and the customer service can only be superior to what you will get from Target. I only shop at Target for 2 reasons. 1. It's the closest to my house (Publix and Walmart are too far, until now, distance is nothing compared to poor customer service). 2. Target card. I like getting the 5% off. However, I can't do it anymore. I placed an order for this camera. My address was old in the system. I thought I updated my account with my new address. However, only the billing updated, not the shipping. I discovered this when I received an email that my order had shipped. In a complete panic, I called UPS. UPS was more than willing to help me, but they didn't have the shipment yet. Therefore I called Target.com @1-800-591-3869.

    They are over inundated with phone calls this morning. You will sit on hold for more than 20 minutes. I did, because this is a big deal. The first time that I called, I could tell that my call had finally been picked up, but no one would say anything. I just kept saying, "Hello!" and listening. I did this for a good 5 minutes before I hung up and called again. The second time, I waited more than 20 minutes, again. A call center in another country picked up, but he didn't have the ability to help me. He gave me a case # **, and told me that he was transferring me to his "team lead" who would have to help me. I get why they use this ploy, but I'm no idiot. The gentleman transferred me. I waited another 10 minutes for someone to answer, domestically. The young lady answers and obviously is unaware that she is supposed to be the "team lead". She sounded more like the tired call center rep who really just wants to go home.

    I explained to her that I was given a case number, told to give it to her, and she was to help me. The young lady took my case number, read the notes, verified the problem, and proceeded to tell me, "I don't know why he sent you to me. They know we can't alter an order after it's already been placed." Wait?! What? There is an order, that I placed less than 12 hours ago, that is still sitting on your dock, and you can't correct the address? She told me I would have to wait until it physically shipped and call them back. Then they would contact the carrier to have it re-routed.

    First, that is the worst customer service ever! I spent 10 years with a wholesale distributor, that did next day deliveries all over the country. If they're able to handle a call like this, Target needs to get their act together. There is a BIG difference between, we "can't" and we don't find this to be a "priority." The young lady couldn't even tell me what time UPS picks their orders up. I asked her and, "Oh, they don't have a specific time. We can just ship orders anytime until 8 pm." LoL! Customer service for Target.com doesn't understand their process or what time orders actually ship. Do you guys even understand how much better your customer service would be if your people actually could articulate your process?! Y'all are dropping the ball EVERYWHERE.

    I don't need to call back to this lackluster call center to do what I can do myself. I can call UPS after they get my order. However, being that y'all still have it, you should be able to fix it! DUH! I never thought there would come a day that I would be more excited to work with UPS. Today is that day, and Target made it possible. Thanks guys. On top of that, the Target superstore near me doesn't carry a lot of the major food brands that actually sell in my area. Your category managers and buyers have major room for improvement. Also, I have had to return to the store 3 times this year to exchange outdated food products. Ummm... Moldy fruit cups, expired grated cheese, old Fruit Loops.

After promo codes my order came to 201.86 plus a $50 Target gift card. I have received emails confirming the order and most recently this week stating the order was delayed on 12/7/15 and was given a new in store delivery date of 12/7/15-12/19/15. On the morning of 12/10/15 I woke up to an email that said my order was cancelled. I promptly called customer service and spoke to a pleasant woman that said the fulfillment center was unable to fulfill the order but she could see if they would be able to ship to my house which I agreed. The color I order was not in stock but they had other colors which I was agreeable to color storm or shadow, store item number # 030-09-3490 which was same original price, just different color.

    When it came time to process the order she stated the price was 287.00. I said I didn't believe I should be penalized for an error caused by Target's system. I was asked to speak to a supervisor and was transferred to Ashely ** who was less than helpful. She said she could give me 10% off the 287.00 price. I explained that this was not satisfactory because I ordered the item and have waited over a week for it which is inconvenient as it is and am then being penalized because Target made an error or had a system issue which cancelled my order due to fulfillment issues. She explained that there was nothing she could do. I then asked to speak to a supervisor and she said she could not transfer me because the phones didn't have the ability to transfer which I questioned because I was transferred to her. I again asked to speak to her supervisor and she said she was a supervisor and didn't have a supervisor.

    I then questioned this several times and she repeatedly said she could not transfer me and that she didn't have a supervisor, I requested that she document this. She then disconnected the call. Up until this point I have always had positive dealings with Target and do a significant amount of business with Target. I am quite shocked and dissatisfied with the lack of professionalism and in regards to this matter. I feel that this was no fault of mine and I should not be penalized, I believe the customer service representative should have been accommodating and helpful instead displayed a lack of empathy and understanding in regards to this matter.

    First of all, I have to say that my local Target is one of my favorite places to shop. They have awesome deals and I have scored some great buys with deep discounts! However, my recent experience with the mobile gift card has left me disgusted with Target.com, and I don't know that I will shop online with them again.

    I bought four $25 mobile gift cards online, and the only reason I chose that method of delivery was for the supposed convenience and the fact that I needed them quickly and could not get to the store. I purchased them between 2:30 and 3 PM, and by 10 PM they still had not been delivered. So I called to check my order only to wait on hold for 15 minutes. When I did get to speak to someone, he informed me that it could take up to 24 hours for the mobile gift cards to be delivered. I could be mistaken, but I could not find this information on their website when I researched how long it would take for delivery. I thought they would come within the hour. The site I looked at was a link from their mobile gift card page located on Target.com.

    The representative sent me the email receipts that had failed to be delivered to my inbox and reassured me that I would probably receive them soon. However, 24 hours later I still had not received the cards. So, I called again and waited on hold for another 20 minutes only to be hung up on after being connected to a representative, which required me to call back and wait for another rep to answer - another 15 minutes. After giving my story and the four order number for the third time I was placed on hold for another 10 minutes and then told they could not help me and I would have to call another number after 7 AM the next morning.

    I went through the process again the next morning and was finally connected to another representative who listened to my issue, placed me on hold multiple times and disconnected me when he tried to transfer my call. Needless to say, I had to call again... I was finally connected to another rep who transferred me to a specialist in America who was able to send me the gift cards via email, and I was given a $15 Target gift card to compensate for their mistake. I could not use the mobile gift cards I purchased for the original intended use.

    I must say that $15 did not compensate the time, frustration, and disappointment that I went through as a result of Target.com's incompetence and false advertisement. I was told that the mobile number I had given for delivery was transcribed incorrectly somewhere in the process. I can completely see how this would happen after speaking with five foreign representatives who all told me different stories of what was documented in my orders. So, in all, it took 72 hours, 6 people and five phone calls (2 disconnections) to get the mobile gift cards I had ordered. Don't use this service. Target should have matched my purchase to compensate for their mistake. Instead I got a measly $15 gift card that is supposed to inspire me to use Target.com again.

    I ordered several fairly expensive items and they messed up at least 4 out of the 9 items that I ordered by delivering the completely wrong thing or sending products that were defective. Getting someone on the phone was a nightmare. I spend hours and hours trying to resolve these issues after getting the runaround and being given information that wasn't correct. They tell you that an item is available when it's really not or the options that they offer are ridiculous when it comes to refunds, returns, replacements, and so on.

    Shopping online at Target is a joke! I have never wasted so much time shopping and feeling so frustrated for the amount of time that I wasted and the solutions that they would give me. To be fair, they did issue a few gift cards but that doesn't nearly make up for what I went through and it's still not over as I have yet to receive an item that is on backorder even though the site told me that it was available. The representative told me that they normally don't deliver items that become unavailable. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I was sent an email informing me that the item would be delivered at a much further date than originally expected but then I'm told that it probably will not be delivered ever.

    I'm very disappointed that I received an electric blanket instead of a Nespresso coffee machine. That is just one example of how horrendous the service is in regards to quality control, delivery service, customer service, etc. Almost everything that could go wrong has gone wrong and I will never shop online with Target again.

    I ordered 2 items last week. Target sent me a shipment confirmation that they sent it out on the 3rd, then I get a UPS confirmation that it was going to be delivered to me on the 7th, then I receive another e-mail saying the status has changed. So I decided to give it another day or 2. Today I check my account, they already took the money out. So I decided to call today and customer service told me, yes that even though they made a UPS label, they actually never gave the items to UPS and that I will have to wait until tomorrow to re-order? I said, "Re-order? I don't need to re-order anything, you need to put the items in a box and deliver them to me, they were already paid for." When you ask for a supervisor, they lie there is no one higher than them and so forth. The next thing I might hear is that they sold out. That's all I need. Not sure what the outcome will be but they are by far the worst.

    Unfortunately, I will never get the items I ordered on Target.com. I ordered two items (a total purchase of about $250) as Christmas gifts on November 23rd, with an estimated arrival date of Dec 2nd for both through UPS. Total weight was 12.0 pounds, so not a big package. The date today is Dec 8th, and I am still waiting. I called the Target customer service hotline where I was connected to someone who barely speaks English. After providing my Target.com order number, I was informed that Target.com does not ship to Hawaii or Alaska (I'm in Hawaii). Are you ** me? Something is wrong here. After being transferred to a supervisor, I was then told that Target.com does ship to Hawaii and Alaska, and that UPS transferred my package onto USPS, media mail.

    After giving me the UPS tracking number (because Target could not see the USPS tracking number online for some odd reason), I called UPS, and they gave me the USPS tracking number. I looked up my package on the USPS website only to see that my package was "Delivered to the local post office on Dec 2nd." Okay, I thought. It's right down the street at my local post office, and it's been sitting there for 6 days now. So, I drove to my local post office with said tracking number, only to be informed my package is sitting at a local post office in California. What the **? Local to what? Then the nice lady tells me my package will sit there for the next 3-5 weeks until they have another shipment. Again, are you ** me? For weeks, I've been expecting a UPS delivery (as was stated on my Target.com receipt), only to be ** over by the USPS. Why the hell did UPS get lazy and push my package over to USPS???

    I finally had enough. I called the Target hotline again, waited over an hour to speak to a manager, who then reluctantly processed my entire refund. A replacement shipment couldn't be sent because the items I purchased (the Hulkbuster and the Hulk by the way) are no longer available. They are sold out. No **, manager. They are popular as hell. Needless to say, I am taking my business elsewhere.

    I ordered a Wii U Bundle Splatoon/Smashbrothers on black friday online and was happy not to go to the store or other stores offering this item on black friday. Days later the order is delayed and I accepted it and then they say they do not have it and can't complete the sale. Forced to pay more and purchase it elsewhere I check target's website again and they claim it's in stock in the Oro Valley, AZ store. I go there hoping they will fulfill the initial order and they don't have it. Ultimately I purchased it elsewhere at a higher price. Target has no inventory accountability and the website can't be trusted. Ultimately I spent more than $50 extra and a lot of extra time to secure this item.

    Target, I'm very disappointed in you. I ordered four shelves to be shipped to the store. When I went to pick it up, the man that brought them out from the back stated that Fedex delivered them this way. The packaging of the shelves were all torn up. There were rips here and there on the cardboard. All four packages I ordered had chips on several of the corners. One had black stains on the corner like it was worn out and out. Another in particular had a corner broken off already. All had plenty of saw dust on them and since the packaging was broken, the styrofoam broke and stuck onto the shelves themselves.

    I was willing to keep the chipped cornered shelves, but the one where the corner was already broken off, I called to get a replacement. The woman seemed like she was from India by her thick accent. I explained to her the situation. I told her I wanted a discount on the three that I was willing to keep, but I wanted a replacement on the one that had a broken corner.

    She then proceeded that I got a discount of 15%. I told her that I wanted a discount because the packages I received were damaged. She stated, "Yes, I understand. You received a discount of 15%." I stated again, "No. I am telling you I want a discount because the packages I received were damaged. There were four shelves I ordered. All of them came damaged. I am willing to keep three, but one has a broken corner, so I don't want it. For the three I'm willing to keep, I want a discount on them because they are damaged. For the one with the broken corner, I want a replacement." She then proceeded that I received a discount of 15% already.

    The woman put me on hold 5 times throughout our conversation. In the end, she transferred me to her supervisor. I could tell she was African American. Her supervisor told me she was unable to give me a replacement shelf. She told me that I'd have to return this damaged item back to the store and repurchase it again. I then asked if I'd be able to purchase it for the same price I got it as on Cyber Monday. She stated no.

    As a customer, I'm very frustrated because I have to deal with people who don't understand English. It was very much a waste of time for me because with having been put on hold on multiple occasions, I was on the phone for an hour and 18 minutes. It was my husband's birthday night. I called on the ride to my parents' house not expecting for it to take so long. As a result of careless people wasting my time, I missed out on a majority of my husband's birthday party.

    As a result, I got a 5% discount on the three shelves I was willing to keep but no replacement shelf. I returned the broken shelf back to the store. That was a big waste of gas and time. I've dealt with better customer service. Target was better than Walmart for me but not anymore. Target, your foreign call center is what ruined it for me. They wasted time I am unable to take back. I'd like to add that I did my part as a customer. I paid for the items promptly. I expect a good quality product in return for my money. It is the seller's responsibility that the customer receives their product of quality.

    I want to purchase a gift of a kitchen appliance and prefer to purchase from a store, rather than over the internet to make it easier if the person wishes to return or exchange the gift. With that in mind, finding exactly what I wanted on the Target site, which indicated it could only be purchased online, I attempted to do so, but the "purchase" button failed to work. So I called my local store which directed me to a 1-800 number. I spent the next half hour on hold and that was as much time of my life I cared to donate to Target Stores.

    I figure this way: they are a corporation no doubt worth billions, due to customers like me -- not completely like me because I would have been at Bed Bath & Beyond first if they had had it. I'm sure their executives and Board pay themselves very, very well on the money of their customers. My thinking is if they want customers, they should be working to keep them, not alienate them. I will be purchasing this now through QVC -- who answer their phones promptly when called, as does Amazon. Both these companies I'm sure are comparably profitable to Target, but they treat their customers with respect, as though they value them. Target doesn't and they need to know they're not the only game in town and people need to respect themselves and not give their money to stores who can't be bother to hire sufficient numbers of underpaid employees to answer their phones.

    First off I would like to say that this was possibly the worst online experience with an online retailer I have ever had. I had pre-ordered a video game for Christmas to give as a gift this year to a child. I later found out that due to an unforeseen emergency I would have to move. I proceeded to target.com shortly after and wished to change my shipping address only to find out that the site would not allow me to make any changes. I then decided to cancel my order. Unfortunately I found out that I can no longer cancel my order. How can I not modify a pre-order of an item that isn't going to be shipped for another two weeks? I thought to myself. I then decided to contact your online department via phone.

    After waiting for about an hour I finally spoke to a representative. I told him my situation and he said the item WAS able to be cancelled. I later checked my bank account statement and realized that I was still charged for the item. I then logged on to my target.com account and realized that it is being shipped already. If you're trying to run an honest online business don't lie to your customer base. I'm not surprised that this company had credit cards numbers hacked since it seems like none of the workers know what they are doing. I'm so upset with this experience at target.com that I am now going to write as many reviews as I can about this on as many review sites as I can. First and last time I shop on this online retailer.

    Target.com is THE WORST online shopping experience I've ever had. Returning items was painful and took hours of my time. I ordered household items. The shipment was broken up into a few. The largest shipment came and the detergent leaked all over the other items inside so I refused the package. After waiting on the phone for 35 minutes, a customer service rep told me since I paid via paypal the refund can only be given via gift card. It was a physical gift card I never received.

    When I went to track it, my email wasn't recognized even though I was receiving emails from target all that time. When I tried doing it via phone an automated less age said "your tracking number is" and then NO tracking number. Any attempt I made to speak to another rep was unsuccessful. I was on hold for 40 minutes and then got cut off. Then again for 25 minutes and again cut off. I finally reached a rep, she put me on hold for 25 minutes and again we got disconnected. Finally I reached a rep who couldn't find my refund and tried to reprocess it. This, after hours on the phone.

    A separate shipment arrived. The slip read two items, but one of the items, a large box, was missing. I had to ask for a separate refund for that, after being 40 extra minus on the phone. I can go on and on about how incompetent and awful Target service is. It's bad enough in the actual stores. But I would rather haul 100 pounds of merchandise home than ever order online again.

    We wanted to use our Red Card to purchase a $1400 TV online and use our 5% discount plus a %10 that was going in on that specific day. We didn't have enough credit in our Target credit card for the TV so we decided to purchase a Target gift card so we would be able to receive both discounts. We waited in vain for our Target electronic gift card to get to our email and since we didn't get it we decided to call Target customer service. After talk to several non-English speakers representatives in order to cancel our gift card and spent our whole night on the phone (literally 4 hours!) we gave up. We were told by these useless non-English speakers representatives that the gift card was canceled and that we would get an email cancellation. But the only email we got the next day was the gift card itself! What a joke!

    We were ready to spend over $1000 and they end up losing their business because of bad customer service. We called the next day after receiving the gift card complaining and we were told that at that point they couldn't cancel the gift card anymore but they would give us a 10% discount in our next purchase. One week later we called to purchase a $300 mirror and use our 10% discount. After two hours on the phone and being transferred from one useless non-English speaker to another we were told by the supposedly supervisor that he won't be able to give us the discount because he didn't see any coupon in the account. He affirmed that he could see the notes about the %10 discount but no coupon code.

    They definitely lost another $300 business and will be losing many other businesses since we buy a lot of thing on the Internet very often and there are so many other websites and companies like Walmart, Wayfair, Overstock, etc that have way better customer service and employ people that actually are able to speak English! Target is such a big corporation and they probably think that they are doing too good to offer their customers a better customer service than barely English speakers representatives that show no appreciation for their customers.

    She called a manager over the walkie talkie which the manager wouldn't even come to the front to see about the situation.

She said that they would give him the choice of exchanging it or receiving store credit. When he tried to return the items, the lady at customer service said that they did not allow "high-priced" items to be returned without a receipt. I believe both items were less than $20 each.

    My wife and I have been going to the Target in Westlake Village, California for 3 months after our morning walks. We go in, do some shopping and go have coffee at the Starbucks that is inside their location -- run and operated by TARGET employees. Every morning I notice that the employees are VERY unprofessional. Not just the ones working at the Starbucks, but the entire store. As for the Starbucks/Target employees, every time we order coffee we are treated much differently than the other white customers. They even have a black employee and he seems to not have a mirror at home. He treats us and other NON white customers in a different manner. Brother, you know what your white co workers say about you behind your back, right?

    And the rest of the "white" employees there treat white customers much better. They do not smile with us, they do not say thank you, they do not offer any specials and they just call it our when it is ready in a rude manner. Sometimes so low we can't hear. But for the white customers they make sure they get their attention when their coffee is ready and they thank THEM. With us we have to go every few minutes just to find our coffee getting cold. After 3 months we stopped going and we do not even want to shop at Target based on their employees. We now go to Walmart, CVS or Costco. We see NOW why Target has the WORST reviews!

    Today we went in to get a flu shot since they are so close to our home, and they do not open till 10AM. So we decided to get a coffee. They had a sign posted that they could not do espresso -- yes that is how it was spelled. I forgot to mention over the past 3 months they would have regular problems with their machines, looks like they have no intention of finding a permanent solution. So we were not shocked to see the sign.

    We asked the jerk at the counter (White skin, black hair), who was talking to a blond customer AFTER taking her order for over 10 minutes until we approached. He said goodbye and thank you to the blonde customer and answered my question. My wife then asked him can they make a latte, he IGNORED her and started speaking to another employee that approached. I asked him why did he do that. He said his manager walked up and he repeated my wife's question! So OBVIOUSLY he heard it and decided to ignore it and speak to his manager. I shouted that was rude and we walked away.

    Another employee white younger male with freakishly blond blown up hair, interjected that was not nice, WITHOUT knowing what occurred. ALL IN ALL Target is setting itself up for a lawsuit -- one day a class action will occur and Target better be ready or get some real managers and real employees who appreciate having a job in the greatest country -- the USA!

    Lastly, we are NOT black. I am Greek with a slight tan color and my wife is Caucasian white skin. So we are not sure what is going on but we travel all over the USA extensively. We have visited Starbucks all over our country, from independent ones to those inside other Targets, stores etc and we are always treated fairly and kindly. In fact we just moved to Westlake Village and EVERY store here has been amazing. Again, Target I see why you have so many bad reviews.

Several days later I checked my account and the order was still pending on my bank statement.

    I called Target.com customer service and sat on hold for 35 minutes for the representative to tell me there was nothing they could do and that the problem is with my bank. I told them that the issue was with target.com and that they needed to cancel the order. I was placed on hold and held for another 20 minutes (57 minutes total) before a supervisor came to the phone. While I was explaining my issue to him he hung up in my face. Target was not able to help resolve my issue at all and did nothing to even try. All I was told was "at this point you need to..." over and over again.

    I'm SO disappointed with the customer service I've received over the past several months from Target. I had an issue with a bridal registry item I bought online being sent to the wrong address in August. After making AT LEAST 20 calls to Target, I was told my account was refunded, yet my bank and I were both unable to locate the refund in my account. Target's "upper level" customer service told me that the money was refunded and it was my bank's fault that it never went through. It's disheartening that my friend never received her gift nor was I ever refunded. I will NEVER shop online at target.com again and I will be extremely hesitant to shop in store. I hope this does not happen to any other loyal customers! Your customer service department should be ashamed of themselves!

    I purchased a Wii U special package edition on Black Friday online which included two preloaded games on it- Splatoon and Super Smash Brothers for the price of $249.99 which is $50 cheaper than purchasing the system which usually will come with only one game. I was excited when the sale went through and thought to myself I don't have to go to the store and wait in line at midnight. A few days later I get an email which states that the item is delayed but will come between December 16-Jan 2. Ok no problem. My kids are not babies and they can get it a couple days after Christmas. Today I get an email from Target now saying I won't get the item at all due to the high demand.

    Obviously they don't know how to manage their inventory. Why have the system accept my order at all if you can't fulfill it. Additionally when I look on line it is available in some of their stores. Such overall POOR customer service. I really don't want to step in another one of their stores and give them anymore of my money.

    For over 16 hours we tried to order items on the Target website only to get various "out of order" signs (when it worked at all)! Calling, I was on hold for two hours only to be told that they could not connect me due to high call volume. I even drove to the nearest Target store but a very unpleasant customer service person told me they could not help and to keep trying online, which even near midnight did not work correctly. All the items I had purchased previously will be returned and I will never set foot inside a store again that treats its customers like Target did today.

I went by the store and the product was $3 each more there and they said they could not honor the web pricing. If I could order on the web, I could pick up at the store. I called the web 800 number and was told, "Sorry we have a lot of traffic on website, try tomorrow." I asked would they honor the price tomorrow and was told "No, price is good only for today."

    Terrible website... After attempting to place the item in my cart multiple times, and not having it show up when I tried to check out, it was frustrating and after switching from my mobile app, to tablet to a laptop - It finally worked on my laptop. I was finally on my way to checking the item out. But there were several glitches as well when I was on the checkout page. For some reason when I was about to confirm my purchase the page reloaded and I ended up with multiple quantities of the item... and I had to start from the beginning and had to re-enter all my information. After finally confirming my purchase I thought I was all set. I was going to pick it up in store so that I could have it right away, instead they cancelled my order after 5 hours without giving me a valid reason. I wouldn't be as annoyed if there weren't this many issues leading up to the purchase... extremely dissatisfied.

Well customer service lady was very nice. Said "just go get another one and we will exchange it." Well I couldnt find another. I asked this lady Kristin who seemed like a manager, since her tag said something like that, and because of the way I witnessed her berating a female employee. Talk about slave!

    I wanted to tell this poor sweet girl, to quit. No one should talk to another person like that. This girl was almost in tears! Anyway I found this nice young man with this gun scanner and told me they were out of them but this other store had 25. I found another tree topper, and ended up spending 200.00. But after seeing that manager treating that poor girl that way, I will not go back. There are too many other stores in that the employees are treated professionally and not berated in front of customers.

    My wife and I ordered the Simmons Kids Elite Crib 'N' More from the Target website. We found that it had great reviews from others and we decided to order it 11/9/15. About 6 days later we received the crib and I noticed that the box was a little dented but didn't think much of it. On 11/27/15 I decided to open the box and get everything completed in the nursery. I found out that 1.) the front panel was dented, and the wood on the bottom of it was cracked, 2:) the screws and bolts were opened already and out of the package, and 3) there were no instructions to how to put it together.

    I called customer service and let them know of the damaged product. However I am suppose to return the crib to a nearby Target. The box is huge and it's 80 lbs. I would have expected Target to send someone to pick it up to receive it. I'm a little disappointed because now I have to find someone who has a truck to return it to my local Target by because my car would never fit it. I am concerned that if I ordered another crib it would just be the same consequence. I wish that someone would hear inspected the package to make sure that it had instructions and packed nicely. I don't know if I would recommend ordering a product from Target just due to the bad packaging, and damaged box when receiving.

    I just left the store for the Black Friday sales and had the displeasure of meeting a person who identified himself as **, a store manager at the Super Target Store at the Richardson Square Mall in Richardson on Plano Road in Richardson, Texas. The Manager ** told me I could wait for the door buster 55" Westinghouse TV they advertised for $249, because the public received coupons earlier to buy the TV and if they hadn't claimed them by 8:00pm the people that waited for them could claim them for purchase. I was in the store and waited from 6:50pm to 8:01pm because ** asked me to do so. I made contact with this person at least 18 times as I waited patiently by the side of the customer service approximately 20 feet from the unclaimed TVs while the whole time he's telling me to wait until 8:00pm.

    At approximately 7:55pm, several people started to arrive at the customer service area while I'm standing there waiting patiently as instructed by ** and shortly thereafter people started pushing and grabbing for items and suddenly ** states, " I told you its first come first serve!" I spoke with this person as he called security on me for disagreeing with the way he handled the situation. ** told me that he could sell me another product but that sale and that TV was gone and he wouldn't do anything about it.

    In my opinion I would think during a Black Friday sale you would want to encounter people that are pleasant and want to work with you but Target seems to employ Managers who are one week out of BASKET RECOVERY school with NO people skills. I WILL NEVER shop at Target stores again and will go to purchase a TV at Nebraska Furniture for the same price. STL ** at this Target store on Plano Rd. in Richardson, Texas should not be employed at this store, and if retained as an employee, should go back to collecting carts because of his inability to communicate with anyone in an adult capacity.

Well, in that case, I don't want to pay the extra for shipping and would rather they come later for free. I called customer service immediately to have it changed, and they kept making excuses and justifying it as it was an estimated date. This is completely unacceptable.

    I recently placed an order and expected shipping on an earlier date which I paid for. I get an email that shipping was moved to a later date when I'd be out of town. So I called to see if they can ship it to a store or a later date, she said it wasn't possible once it's been shipped. So I canceled my flight and decided I'd drive instead. Mind you I searched for these specific shelves and proper size to order 3 of the same kind which weren't available in stores and get the online savings deal.

    Next day after canceling my flight I get another email saying the shipment was canceled. I told her not to cancel it. I try to reorder only to find it out of stock. I call again, I assumed the previous person I talked to canceled my order. So I tried to reopen or find another solution. After an hour on the phone and being told all stores were out of the shelves I was told the only option left is to contact corporate through a PO box. Only to file a complaint. Also that I'd have to wait till the items were back in stock. So I try online, they tell me the first phone call didn't cancel my order but the warehouse did. So she lied to me saying it was already in shipment while I canceled my flight. I get just an email saying it was canceled with no explanation. Victor online told me it might be because it was damaged or out of stock? But I ordered it a week before it became out of stock. Basically I feel like your store gave me the worst run around I've ever had.

    It was quite possibly the worst online order experience in my life. I spent 3 days dealing with people with no results. I ordered something, paid, told it was gonna be shipped late. I tried to change the shipping date was told it wasn't possible cause it was shipped already. Next day it was then canceled, tried to reorder, it was then out of stock, tried to talk to multiple employees for help they all gave me different answers. None of which had any solution. This is a completely terrible business practice.

    If I had time I'd post on every Target Yelp and warn everyone to never buy from Target online. Instead I'll write to you. Then corporate. Then complain to the hotline. Take all my frustrations with this situation on Target forums till it's out of my system. Speaking to multiple people who pretty much tell me there is nothing more I can do is pretty defeating. I was a happy shopper till I went to Target. I bought something which you canceled. I wasted 3 days, one plane ticket, and about 9 hours on you guys. Never again.

    This review isn’t for the product, since I haven’t had a chance to try it but a review of their shipper first then a review of Target customer care. I can’t blame Target for the condition of the items received but the box that had the box spring in it arrived with half the end of the box torn off and when I opened the box to assemble the box spring mattress, it was missing. I kid you not, half of the structure was gone, a total of ten pieces each about 3 feet in length, just gone. So I called customer care and the first rep transferred me to a second rep in a different department. Well she told me that she need to contact the manufacture to ship a new box spring out because they don’t carry the item in the store or Target warehouse, she told me that she called them and it went straight to voicemail. Now what kind of nightmares will start for me in getting my box spring if I have to rely on her leaving messages to the shipper?

    Anyways we came to the conclusion that it would just be best to arrange their shipper to pick up the box spring and mattress and reorder a whole new set, marked expedite shipping she said I would receive a new tracking number and pick up day. So after 1 week of waiting, no info. So I call back customer service and again transferred to another department, the lady there told me the first lady didn’t do the return shipping order or reorder correctly and would have to redo it all over. She said in two days I would receive shipping info. After 4 days of no shipping info, I called again and again, transferred to a supervisor who said it was all messed up and that the reps before here didn’t know what they were doing.

    So now it’s the weekend and on Monday UPS is suppose to show up and per their policy pick up the set. Deliver it to Target warehouse then only after they receive it and check it in they will send out a new replacement set. So bottom line is always beware of buying large items and having them shipped to you because a lot of times the boxes get damaged and parts are lost and then the nightmare begins.

I was on the phone for over an hour and she could not understand what I was trying to do. Over an hour. By this time I had lost the 25% code on some of the toys as I was on the phone past midnight.

    I left that phone on hold and called back with my husband's phone and got someone else. She was at least semi-helpful and got the order pushed through. In the meantime, however, some of the item counts in my order had changed and she had to adjust the 25% and it still never ended up working on the NERF gun I ordered, which it had originally. All in all I was on the phone for TWO AND A HALF HOURS getting this order placed. This is absolutely ridiculous. Target has some serious problems.

On the google search, Target's big Halloween ad with Terrific Tuesday popped up and promised free shipping guaranteed by October 29th or October 30th. I placed the order and then watched as the item didn't ship Tuesday or Wednesday. I called at 8:31 am Thursday am and spoke with Joseph who was polite but didn't understand english very well. He repeated several cue card responses assuring me that the product would be arriving. When I asked what to do if it didn't, he said "Thank you for your business goodbye" and hung up on me. As I thought this was odd, I called back several hours later and spoke with Whitney. She told me Target has to get it to him by October 30th.

    I informed her I understand that was what the shipping said but it looked as if it still hadn't shipped. She put me on hold then came back and reiterated that the shipment would be received by today. I received an email in my inbox 4 hours ago, letting me know that TODAY, Oct 30th - my order would be delayed until November 9th. My CC has been charged and it's a Halloween costume. This is ridiculous, insulting and greatly disappointing to the person who was planning on using the costume this evening. Had I known on Tuesday or even Wednesday, I could have ordered somewhere else and done an overnight. As it is, I am incredibly disturbed at being flat out lied to and falsely assured and now having a useless costume show up in 10 days after the event. Bad form Target and I will avoid shopping your box store as well based on this experience.

    I ordered 2 toys online for my granddaughters’ birthday from Target.com. A My Little Pony set and My Little Pony play house. All went well and I was notified that my order had come in to my local Target store as arranged. Then later I got another message that the Pony house had been cancelled and no reason was given. Only the Pony set was to be picked up. So I went back to Target.com and ordered the Pony house to be delivered to my home. 45 minutes later I went to pick up the Pony set at the store, the Pony house was there too! So I went ahead and paid for all and went home to cancel the second Pony house. Well, apparently you can't cancel an order even an hour later.

    But the worst part was when I tried to get support/help from customer service, the people I spoke to (3 different ones) spoke haltingly with heavy accents and just didn't seem to understand my dilemma nor have an answer other than a scripted one. I asked where they were located and I was told the Philippines. So my complaint is this: how can an organization as large as Target not offer cancellation services right after an order is taken and then have customer service representatives who lack necessary skills to handle this situation and explain exactly their policy (which I am not happy with!).

    So now I have this large Pony house being delivered to my home which I will have to lug back to the store for credit. All because they messed up and told me it was cancelled when it was not. Believe me, I will only order from Target.com when I have no other choice in the future. I love the Target stores and shop there regularly but this experience was hugely disappointing and majorly inconveniencing to me!

    I placed an on-line order at approx. 11PM, and received an email saying the product wouldn't ship until 5 days later. No problem. The next morning, I realized I needed to change the shipping address (within 12 hrs of placing order), so I called their 800 CS #. The rep could barely speak English, and said they couldn't modify the order/address. I told him it wasn't even going to ship for 5 days, and asked why this was a problem. I escalated the issue to his supervisor, who told me she COULD change the shipping address, but I told her that after 30 mins on the phone to complete such a simple task, that I just want to cancel the order. She apologized and said, "OK, it's done".

    The $286 charge showed pending in my bank acct. for several days, then went away. A few days later, I order the same product from Amazon and receive it within 2 days (prime member). As I'm assembling this product in my garage, UPS pulls up to deliver the canceled order from Target! I refuse delivery and go call Target to tell them they screwed up. I get apologies and assurance that the order is officially canceled now.

    Two days later, I get an email from Target saying my product has shipped!!! The following day, my bank account is charged the $286! Today is Sunday, and after spending 45 minutes (no exaggeration) with another barely, English speaking rep, I'm finally handed off to a "specialist", who is speaking politely, but is clearly indifferent to the matter. She assures me (for the THIRD time over a 10 day period) that the order is canceled and that they have located it after UPS returned the shipped order that was canceled 5 days prior to even shipping it. Unreal!

    I will NEVER, EVER, do business with Target on-line. I felt like I was in a Godfather movie, where you don't refuse an order. I've been doing business with Amazon for over 20 yrs now, and will never wander again. I should mention that, Walmart is good to do business with on-line, as well (niche products that I've ordered).

    Bottom line: American-based companies are doing themselves a great disservice when outsourcing their Customer Service function to foreign countries. However, I was definitely, involved with U.S. customer service during this experience, and they were equally inept at handling such a simple task. I cannot even start to comprehend how many hours more (phone) would have been required to resolve an equally simple/basic task, if there was any other circumstance involved. THIS was a simple, "Cancel the order, since you can't change the shipping address (within 12 hrs of order)." Target's ineptness is unrivaled.

    This week, 10/18/2015, there is a promotional for baby product, spend $150 get $25 GC. There is also a promotional for huggies and pampers diaper, buy 3 get $20 GC. Twice in one week, I got charge extra for these items. On Sunday (10/18/2015), I was charge 2 more boxes of diapers, $24.99 each. Luckily, I went back right inside and inquire. The customer service told me that the receipt was correct. I told her "can you look at my cart and add up the boxes again." 3 pampers and 3 huggies diapers. The receipt said 8 boxes $24.99. She looked at it and said it was correct the second time. I had to circle the items to make it obvious for her.

    After 15 minutes, she finally credit me $36 dollars. Wait a minute, 24.99 + 24.99 $36. I am 39 weeks pregnant and I am exhausted from the long line not to mentioned that the cash register I used did not prompt for the gift card. I had to ask her to double check because the sign does not lie. So, fine, I will just accept the lost and call it a day.

    Today, 10/21/2015, I went to my sister's apt. and she needed some stuff at the Target nearby. Since I have the GC from previous transaction, I bought 3 more pampers and 3 more huggies. Again, the same thing exact thing happened. This time, I just look at the receipt now and realized that. This time, I used the 15% coupon from my baby registry and it took me 30 min to pay for this. This complaint is here to inform other shoppers that the corporation is run by a whole bunch of people with no common sense and no courtesy. Most importantly, I hate how their system works.

    I purchased Target Gift Card for a Special Birthday of my sister. Not only my account was charged and day later I also discovered that the gift card that was suppose to arrive simply as a text (what should be 10 min processing) never arrived and my sister obviously thought I did not send her any Birthday gift. Now I felt bad that it was not on time. I tried to fix the problem and called customer service. After 5 minutes with the automated voice machine I spoke to a representative who barely spoke any English and she assured me that the gift card was resent and I had to wait for another 4 hours for it to process.

    Checking 8 hours later - the gift card was still not delivered. Another call to a customer service resulted in another bad experience. The person on the phone barely spoke any English again and told me that I need to wait another 4 hours or even more. I tried asking why is that and what is the problem but the representative kept telling me the same sentence over and over again: "your request is processing now, please check in later" and eventually after a couple of more questions the representative just hang up on me! So here I am with my account being charged, birthday gift not only not delivered on time, but not delivered AT ALL and probably never will! All I left with - terrible feeling towards Target and nowhere to call or go for help. I never leave negative reviews and I am very sad this is my very first one! Well done Target!

    Subscribed to Target.com for a regular shipment of vitamins. 1st shipment, no issue. 2nd shipment two months later and Target.com processed the order TWENTY-EIGHT times - and $30 each. Wiped out my checking account. Finally got someone to speak with at Target.com and initially got nothing but attitude from the guy. Then he realized they'd really screwed up. He canceled remaining shipments that hadn't left yet and told me I could keep what did show up. When the shipments started to arrive, they all looked as though someone had put the bottles in a microwave - all melted into a big clump in each bottle; had to throw them all in the trash. Guy suggested I cancel my subscription - which I'd already done. Lo and behold 2 months later, I get an email telling me my shipment is about to ship. Had to go cancel again; wonder if I'll need to do this every 2 months!!

    Tried to cancel a shipment less than one hour after ordered as it should have been an in-store pickup. Received a confirmation number it was cancelled. They sent notification it was shipped. When I called they were rude and informed me that there was nothing they could do, that I should call the shipper and that the confirmation number was only confirmation that they had sent the "request" to cancel and there was no guarantee it would actually be cancelled which is not what they told the in-store associate trying to assist me. They also stated credit card would not be charged till delivery and to call shipper and refuse delivery. They charged my credit card as soon as they set up shipping information.

    Called the shipper, they verified the product hadn't actually shipped and that only a label at that point had been made. I was lied to numerous times. They were extremely rude and I never could get anyone on the phone to get a straight answer. At this point I still have a charge on my credit card, no desk and not sure when it will arrive so that I can refuse the delivery and not sure when the charge will reverse on my card. Never again.

    After spending five hours assembling this bookshelf I was missing the drilled holes on the back of the bookshelf. I called and after an hour of being transferred and repeating numbers they ordered the parts I needed. Over two weeks later I call and no one actually ordered the parts. I've had to call back several times to speak with rude telephone operators and ended with absolutely no help. They told me I would have to just return it. What upsets me most is not the incomplete parts and countless hours I wasted to assemble it, but having received zero help from the Target representatives. I guess Target is heading downhill and I hope they take their incomplete furniture and customer care with them.

    Today I went online to order diapers to be sent to another state. I had a previous gift card that I wanted to use. I put in the number I had been sent through email and after talking to 5 people was told I did not have enough numbers. I assured the fifth person I talked to that was the number on my email. I was then transferred to a troubleshooter and she also told me I did not have enough numbers and emailed me the correct numbers. I asked if I could use the gift certificate on the order that I had just submitted and was told no because it had been submitted already. I was told the next time I get a gift card to make sure and check to see that it has 15 characters. I would not have continued putting the order through had I known I did not have enough numbers on my gift card. Come on now. How many people know how many characters to look for???

    You know, I deal with Target's app issues because I like the store and never usually have issues. I'm just blown away that literally 10 minutes after I place an order, I cannot make any changes to it nor cancel it. Well, actually it was more like 20 minutes because it took about 10 minutes for the confirmation email to arrive. My order is shipping to the wrong address which I had already updated earlier in my transaction but it did not stick apparently. The worst part is that from this order, I have four items broken up into three different shipments so I'll either have to refuse all orders or go to track down my items three times. So frustrating! You really should be able to modify or cancel any order as long as it has not yet shipped. I can't believe this is an issue with a huge company like Target in 2015.

    I ordered three dresses from Target. I am leaving for vacation in a couple of weeks and I don't want to wear jeans or my work clothes. The package didn't arrive in the estimated delivery time and while tracking it I noticed it didn't update often. Finally it said the package was undeliverable to my address. Not Target's fault but instead of being shipped to the nearest store it was shipped back across the country.

    I called and I have to say the customer service was excellent. The girl I talked to was very helpful. However, she only offered standard delivery for replacement items and I would be charged for rushed shipment. I won't get them before vacation. Then I read the e-mail about my replacement items and I learned that they wouldn't be shipped until the original items had been returned. If I had known that I would have most likely asked for a refund as the only reason I had purchased them was for a vacation that I won't have them for. I am pretty frustrated at this point.

    I don't know what it's like in the rest of the world, but Target in Chattanooga, TN (not Hixson for those of you who might be local) is strange... very strange. The employees act odd and I don't really know how else to describe it other than either they're brainwashed, or they're full of angst. I can understand the angst part. Not wanting to be there, minimum wage, I get it. The problem I actually have is the brainwashed stuff.

    I had one woman check me out who had COMPLETELY drank the Kool-Aid. I can't even really recall half of what she said, I was so shocked. She was trying really hard to get us to sign up for Target's debit card, and then for their credit card. She kept saying things like, "Everyone shops at Target", "Everyone loves Target", "Target is all you need", among other things. I'm not joking. She didn't look like she was joking either. She was completely serious.

    I also had the "pleasure" of witnessing a training class one morning. The training class was worrisome. They were playing games to learn the merchandise, I guess. I happened to be in the shoe section looking for my daughter some sandals, and I kid you not, every single trainee stopped me to ask me if they could help me. They all had these eager, but very creepy smiles on their faces. Now I get when you're trying to learn your job, but do these people understand (the trainers) that they are interrupting and inconveniencing their customers with this nonsense? Very odd. I also couldn't shop correctly with all the trainees in the walking paths and standing in front of the merchandise. At one point, they all just kind of stood around doing nothing, but I had to get around all of them.

    Then there is the typical stalking that happens no matter where I go to shop. This is usually done in the clothing section, with one very miserable-looking store employee not even caring if you notice. Once you leave that section, you're gravy. Judgmental dressing room employees who believe it's okay to tell you what you do and do not look good in was another problem. We have the fortune of knowing someone who works at Target. They have confirmed the strange culture there that I am talking about. They are looking for another job as we speak. Another friend of ours that worked there literally couldn't take it and quit after 2 grueling years there. He's happier now as a convenience store clerk. When you prefer a worse position and pay over potential Target higher management, something is wrong.

    I will say I do enjoy Target for their products. I will also admit that I think they're a little full of themselves because they've increased their prices a LOT since I first became aware of how good their products were. Simultaneously, product quality has declined. Their training policies need to change, and if you're worried about customers stealing clothes, why not make it so your buggies can fit down the aisles so not only your customers, but also your employees can see? Lots of dark nooks and crannies because the clothing section is stuffed to the rim.

    Their customers are pretty much snobby soccer moms and stay at home wives with no life. They bring their whole gaggle of children and their friends children with them and just have this really stuck up demeanor. It's sad really because it makes it uncomfortable to shop there. I know Target can't control that, but it's still a problem. Come on people, it's Target... it isn't that special. I'm a work-from-home mom, but you don't see me walking with my nose in the air. I also hate their cheap and hard to navigate website. I don't like shopping for clothes on it because it is so terrible-looking and half the time crashes and doesn't work. I think Target has some improvements to make. Overall, I just don't like shopping at Target. It's a strange experience and I feel like I'm in the twilight zone when I go there.

    I had ordered 3 Halloween pet costumes online through a Target.com - got confirmation that all 3 would be shipped. Well on Friday October 2, 2015 I only received two of the costumes. Well by Monday the 3rd one had not arrived so I called them on Tuesday October 6. I spoke with someone - he told me if by that evening I didn't have it to call first thing Wednesday morning. So first thing this morning I called, I spoke to a young lady, explained that it never came so she did a return, ok how can I return something if I never got it? I call back again, talk to a gentleman and got disconnected.

    I call third time explaining everything all over again. I get put on hold - they tell me they will express ship me the costume. But since the first girl did a return they were wanting to charge me for another costume! I had no problem with that but it seems she didn't put the money back on my cc. Then they said to me they needed another form of payment because I being charged the costume plus express shipping! I got so angry because I paid for something I didn't get and they want me to pay for it again plus express shipping when this is their error! Never ever will I step foot inside a Target but I will also never buy anything from them online! They screwed up my purchase and want me pay double! Take a hike Target.

I finally got irritated and stated you can see my account and you can see the orders. All I want to do is cancel one of them. I was put on hold. Then given another department. This department said the orders were already being processed and that I had to 'Request to cancel'. It was not guaranteed they would be cancelled because of the 'lapse' of time between ordering and cancelling.

    I asked for a supervisor who gave the same response. I called back asking for a supervisor who basically said they could only request it. I never received an order confirmation. I could not see them on my account as being ordered and now must wait 24 hours to see if they will be cancelled. NO ONE could make this happen. I cancelled both orders and will destroy my REDCARD after this instance. There is no customer support whatsoever.

    Most incompetent service representatives ever, and here's why. I ordered a desk with expedited shipping. Received it damaged. Ordered a replacement. Target offered a discount for inconvenience, especially because the person could barely speak English, had to keep asking a supervisor about procedures, and kept me on the phone for 40 minutes. Discovered that the replacement desk, which was supposed to take a couple days, was going to be a couple weeks AND the incompetent rep documented that I was given the discount because it was going to take longer to receive. That documentation was a lie.

    I called back and spent 30 minutes on the phone with a second rep, whose language skills were equivalent to the first, and couldn't understand the issue. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, I was told no. Over the next week, I received three generic survey requests, and every one of them I responded and told them that I would not be back, but gave them my contact information. There was no attempt at contacting me other than a generic email asking if I wanted a replacement, which I cancelled with the second phone call. Ridiculous. I will NEVER use Target Online again.
