    I placed a Target.com order on 11/17/17. I received 2 separate packages for the one order on 11/22/17. This order is clothing for my daughter for Christmas. She is in between sizes so I ordered 2 sizes and will return the items that do not fit after Christmas. That being said, there were a couple items I just didn’t like right off the bat. So I figured I would get a head start on the return. I went to my local Target store on 12/2/17 for the return. They tried to look up my order with the card used. I provided it, but they could not locate the order. I happened to have the invoice on me so they scanned the invoice, returned the items and the amount automatically went back to my card... or so I thought. A couple of days later I looked at the receipt to tally up remaining Christmas gift purchases on my credit card and I noticed the last 4 digits of the card on the return receipt were not the digits on the card I used.

    Just to be sure I checked all my cards for these digits. I don’t have any cards with those last four digits. I try to look up my order online to verify I did, indeed, pay with the card I thought I did. The thing is target.com does not store the last four digits of the card you used with your order. So I call target.com customer service because I figured the invoices I received were linked to the wrong card. I thought they would be able to confirm the card I used and correct the invoice issue. After waiting for the online chat, I was told they could not help and to call the toll free number. Called that number and waited for 20-25 min. Started talking to a representative, then was disconnected. Called back, waited another 20-25 min. Talked to a representative. They placed me on hold for about 15 min to talk to a manager only to tell me I had to speak to a specialist. They transferred me to a specialist, but I had to wait for another 20 minutes to speak to her.

    She was very pleasant but she told me that they cannot see the card I paid with on their end either. I was shocked... how is that even possible. I’ve never visited a website that didn’t document which card you used. She reached out to her manager, while I waited another 5-10 min yet again. She said that because the store issued the return, I would have to go to the store. She offered to connect me to guest services, but I had already spent enough time on hold, I did not have the time to spend more time. I went to my local Target store the following day, 12/6/17, with my credit card statement showing that was the card that was used, a copy of the email confirmation, the invoices that came with each package and the return receipt. The manager looked at the receipt, asked me a couple of quick questions to rule out obvious issues.

    He then proceeded to call online. He, too, waited just as long as I had only to receive the same responses... nothing can be done. Online was claiming the store made the mistake, when they actually hadn’t. The REAL issue is that someone in the distribution center linked a card (possibly their own) instead of my card to the invoice in the hopes that I would return merchandise and it would go back to their card. The manager at my local Target tried to get through to target.com, but target.com refused to take responsibility for the invoice issue. I spent 2 hours at the store while this manager tried to fix the issue. The problem is that I will have to return additional items from this order and they will continue to go to the wrong card. This manager was trying to correct future issues. Target.com was of no help.

    This manager was amazing and I cannot say enough good things about the dedication he had to find a resolution. He just could not get the help from target.com that he needed. In the end he did the return a second time and overrode the card to go to my card, the correct card. The only solution for any future returns from this order, was a handwritten note on the invoice with his signature stating to override the card for the refund. I have to go to this location in order to have this be honored. Again, this manager was extremely helpful, but with no help from target.com. I love Target, but I have never experienced such terrible customer service from such a big corporation. I am very hesitant to order anything through target.com again.

    I ordered 3 containers of liquid detergent. I was notified they shipped. Then I was told one was damaged and not shipped. Then two arrived. One leaking through the box. Then I was told that I could not get a refund other than a Target gift card because I bought through PayPal. Or they could simply replace the two damaged container. Then they had no more product and sent the complaint up the line. DO NOT SHOP WITH THESE HORRIBLE PEOPLE.

    I shop at Target at least twice a week, sometimes 3x! However, I recently decided to place an order on Target.com. When the package was delivered, 2 of the items were missing, but were listed on the packing slip. I thought maybe there would be a second package, but nope. I received an email congratulating me on receiving my order with details on what I should have received. I immediately called Target.com customer service to let them know my items were missing. They issued a "replacement order" (how do you replace items you never sent) and gave me a new order number. The following day I revisited the replacement order email to get a tracking number and it shows an ETA of 2 weeks!!! And to make things even more fun, they state "Please note that you do not need to send your original items back to us to receive your replacements. If you do not want them, feel free to donate or recycle them."

    So, if I had received the wrong items, I would have free merchandise AND my actual order when it arrived. But because someone forgot to put WHAT I PAID FOR in the box, I am expected to just suck it up and wait for them to arrive with nothing in return for the inconvenience? Three calls totaling about 2 hrs, and one chat conversation later, I finally get to a supervisor who offers a $5 gift card "as a one time exception" and I can "take it or decline it" because she is "going out of my (her) way" to offer it. Now, my order was for pillows totaling just under $25. If I had received incorrect items totaling the same I could keep or throw it out and still receive what I paid for, but they forget to send my stuff and I am forced to wait longer for my items AND get nowhere with customer service until supervisor gets frustrated enough to "go out of {her} way" for a $5 gift card?

    This multi-BILLION dollar company "doesn't compensate for time and frustration" until they get frustrated and all they can offer is $5? Yet, I could have literally thrown away incorrect merchandise. I do not get it. Shame on you Target. A refund of my items (which I bought 40% off, so they wouldn't even have to give me retail!) and the shipping or even store pick up of said items would have been the right thing to do to compensate me properly.

    I ordered a TV during Cyber Monday while they were on sale with an additional 15% off. The order went through and my card was charged, then the next day my order was cancelled. Checked to see why and apparently it wasn't in stock according to the lady whom I spoke with, so she checked and said that it was in stock and we ordered the tv again. Then it was cancelled four times. They said personally over the phone that the item was in stock and four times it was cancelled because it wasn't.

    My card was charged a total of $2,589 which I had to wait one full week for the charges to be taken off. Then today when I go to order a different tv to do an in store pick up they will not honor the discounts or anything and want to charge full price with no discounts added. When I asked to speak with the manager they hung up on me; then I called back and same scenario. They hung up on me again! I will never buy from Target.com or Target Stores if this is how they choose to treat their customers!!

    I was trying to purchase Target gift cards online to get the 10% discount. When I went online there were only two options available to receive your gift cards - e-mail or mobile. Since, I wanted gift cards to put in stockings this was not an option. I did call customer service and was told I could order using one of the options available since the special only ran on 12/3 and take it to the store to get an actual card. The only problem is I could get the card with my receipt, but I would have to pay full price for the physical card. Nice kind of a bait and switch. I am sure others felt the same way, so I wanted to share what I found out.

    Customer is always right statement! I know they doesn’t apply all the time but when it’s Target's error then this statement stands! My wife and I had a terrible experience over the weekend. My son had a seizure and end up going to the ER. He was scared and confused. My baby had blood taken from but was strong. We asked him what toy he wants for being a good boy and decided a Flash Toy. Target end up having Flash toy figures with a price tag of $20.00 dollars. It wasnt just one flab toy but several under the price tag.

    Upon check out it said the toy was $40.00 not $20.00. I spoke to the sale associated and stated it was 40.00 not 20.00. I spoke to the manager and mentioned that the toys were placed under a 20.00 price tag and even showed her the picture. The manager stated she can’t sell it for 20.00 without reason and can only give me 10 percent off with an attitude at it. This wasnt my error but the store's. Thank you Target for the disappointment. My son at the moment is going thru medical issues and you ruin my moment to give my son a smile. You just lost a loyal customer.

    I placed an online order with Target.com and completed the purchase using My REDcard. Once at the store to pick up the order, the Target store clerk could not locate the order in their system, so the clerk asked that we cancel the online order, and purchase the items in-store. I canceled the order ** except for 1 item. I did the in-store purchase, but I've been double billed on My REDcard account for the online order that was canceled, and the in-store items I purchased. I contacted My REDcard to correct this issue. My experience has been horrible, representatives at My REDcard have repeatedly hung up on me, as well as I was told 72 hours ago that the issue would be resolved, and it still is not. I've spent over 3 hours on hold while My REDcard representative contacted Target.com, and it has been a round, and round nightmare.

    I purchase a Wii game on 11/23/17 that was on sale. It was to be picked up at my local Target store. I did not realize I only had 2 days to pick it up. The order was cancelled, and I was not able to re-buy the item for the discounted price. I believe a week would be more reasonable for pick up of an item and I am very disappointed. I did call Target and they put me on hold several times for 5 minutes at a time and did not offer to sell it to me at the price I originally paid.

    On Cyber Monday Target offered 15% off all items online which I purchased bedding and other items and actually received the 15% off. The following day they had a 40% off sale on bedding & bath items which listed the same sale price as Cyber Monday but now I could get 40% off, so I purchased additional bedding items thinking I would receive 40% off the bold red sale price, however, this was not the case per their corporate manager who said the 40% was already applied to the sale price listed. Say What? Why do that? This practice is very confusing to the customer when it doesn’t say that the 40% is off the regular sale price listed in small grey color under the big bold red sale price. I feel this practice is unacceptable and a true scam. Target you should be ashamed of yourself for duping your customers into thinking they are receiving 40% off the red bold listed sale price when in fact they are not.

    I order a PS4 gaming console online, paid to have this shipped to my house no later than Wednesday Nov 29th. I checked Wednesday morning to see if this had shipped yet... it did not. Talked online with Nolan, said it would be shipped today and I would receive this today. Then I received an email stating that shipping is taking longer and I would not be receiving this today. Then I spoke with Joe through online chat and he told me it would be here tomorrow... unacceptable, I paid to have it here Wednesday because my husband took off work to receive this. Now it's to be delivered tomorrow (still hasn't shipped and website now says Friday) but if I'm not home it will not be left. I was told by Jodi (per Joe management) that I would have to contact the transit company and tell them when I want it delivered. She also said I could call Target after it ships (I was told by Joe that I couldn't cancel order because it shipped) to change shipping info.

    No one was any help and no one seemed to care about my dilemma. This is the first time I have ever ordered online from Target and it will absolutely be the last. I have a red card and was excited to order Christmas presents online through them but I will no longer be doing that and I will let my family and friends know not to do that either as they may not receive anything in time for Christmas. Target wants me to just let them deliver it and leave it on my porch for hours until I get home, a $300 game system! An absolutely horrible experience.

    I saved my $100 Gift card so that I could use it for my TV on Black Friday, I was very happy to choose a TV and when I tried to use it they told me that it was worth only $24 or $26. I said No, it is $100.00. I called the number on the back and the guy barely spoke English, so they send me to front desk but I had to call the 1800 again. The lady was asking me for the digits in the back and I had someone from the front desk helped me, anyways the woman on the phone said that the card was used 11/13 in Carson. I said, "Not possible. This card was in my dresser and no one has used it. I live in Thousand Oaks and don't even know where Carson is." They refused to let me talk to a manager and they refuse the idea that their gift card has been hacked.

    They have not honored my gift card $100.00 worth and I am getting nowhere with them. This was a gift card that I was looking forward to use and lack of support from Target was horrible. The gift card was purchased in July and they are not honoring my gift card and they are horrible at the support. I told them that either they are reselling the gift cards or they are being hacked - "No that is not possible." How is not possible when my gift card was in my dresser and not touch at all.

    They said that people that hacked gift cards they use them in full to buy electronics, I said, "Well if you think I am the hacker I wouldn't be on the phone with you!!" Hackers will get the numbers and use it partially to see if they can use it then they use it again for a diff amount. I work at a bank so I know how they do that and they said again "Impossible our system has not been hacked." I said, "Yes you were hacked before and it seems that you were hacked once again now!!" So how do I recover my gift card now? $100.00.

    Who is doing the website services for this company? Nowhere near the technological proficiency of other online website ordering for other large companies. Attempted today to place an online order for 4 Target brand tees for women, after having done so in October. The October order was delivered to the store while I was out of town. I called the store and communicated online that I would be unable to pick up the order as I hadn't been prewarned there was a limited 48 hour pickup period, but advised online and directly to the store that I would pick up the order a few days later. When I got to the store the order had been cancelled. BTW store is a 32 mile round trip. So, after receiving emails about free shipping I attempted once again to place the order online. I kept getting messages that there was something wrong with the order and directed me to change my password.

    I was sure my password was correct so attempted to take advantage of online chat, which was offered to me. Oh no, got a message that no representatives were available. THEN DO NOT OFFER THIS AS AN OPTION! Later, after I looked up customer service number and waited 15 mins. for customer service I was able to speak to someone who finally determined that two of the four items were out of stock. This was never flagged as the reason I was unable to complete the order online. Instead I was repeatedly prompted to change my password. The Target company should never encourage people to order online with extra discounts unless they can more closely examine the online prompts and more importantly, assure they have enough chat and customer service reps to accommodate the volume of inquiries that any reasonable administrator should anticipate during this season.

    I'll be lookin' to Amazon and Target should too, for pointers. I've always been impressed by most online ordering for larger companies. I have come to the conclusion that unless you have time to drive to Target at Xmas shopping season, see the product you want with your own eyes, wait in line, check it out, and drive back home, you'll be better off to go to another online provider. I don't have time for that. I'm much too used to efficient ordering and delivery from other services and will look to them in the future.

So I'm on hold now for 40 minutes for a 2.00$ item which they charged me which they never gave me. My husband told me to forget it but it's the principle of the matter not the charge.

    I ordered a set of black WeatherTech floor mats to be picked up at the Target in Linden, New Jersey. Whoever packed my order removed the tags from some Rubbermaid floor mats and placed them in my order. Thankfully, I checked the order before leaving the store and went immediately back to the in store pick up location. I let the on duty store manager know what the issue was concerning the floor mats. The on duty staff proceeded to tell me that I needed to wait until I received the receipt in my email before they could help me. I then received the receipt and showed the cashier.

    Long story short, they still insisted that they could not help me because a (VSD?) number was not on the receipt. I demanded either my money back or some WeatherTech floor mats. I left the store with gray WeatherTech floor mats and a receipt that says that I paid $0. The in store manager asked me to use the email receipt and not the receipt that said that I paid $0 if I plan to return the mats. I am very upset about the whole situation because I truly believe that these people figured that I was a woman and would not notice the difference between the mats.

    To make matters worse, if I had not gotten as upset as I did, I would have left the store with mats without a tag and probably would have been my word against theirs. I don't expect this treatment from an establishment that touts corporate responsibility. Needless to say, I don't have the black WeatherTech floor mats that I really wanted. Filing a complaint at Target is difficult which brought me to this forum. This definitely makes me reevaluate my thoughts about the company.

    One of the worst experiences with an online account. I have had an account with Target for over 12 years. Recently I needed to change my email account as I lost access to my old email due to no longer wanting to pay for it with AT&T. Target representatives refused to change it for me though I am logged into the account having known my password. I also have my address and phone listed on the account for verification. However, due to their lack of advanced technology, I can only change it by verification under the old email account of which I have no access. I have had no problems with any other online merchants in changing my email except them. They really need to update their antiquated system as they just lost another long time customer.

    Update 4/30/22:

    I wrote a bad review regarding target.com a few years back. This is just to say they fixed their problems. I had not ordered anything for delivery for years but have ordered twice in the last few weeks & everything went smoothly--confirmation emails, tracking, and delivery on time. Yay, because I'm getting sick of amazon.

    Kind of had in the back of my mind that there was an aversion I had to ordering from target.com, but couldn't remember why; I use a small string light product they carry online that they refuse to put on the shelf in my local store though, so I forged ahead in spite of my reservations. NOW I KNOW WHY!!! After I placed my order & did NOT receive the promised confirmation email, I checked the email address Target had & it was a closed down email address from some time ago. Okay, that's my bad. Go through the motions of changing it & Target sends the change confirmation to the closed down email! Hello?

    Called CS because I've YET to open chat without being told no one is on the other end. Told CS I needed the email address changed to the correct address & after going back & forth, finally was told that CS couldn't change my email to the correct email because they were getting an "invalid email address" when they put my email address into the system! So, they could email a notice to me to the OLD CLOSED DOWN address to let me know that my account email had been changed & get NO invalid email warning, but my current address was coming up "invalid."

    Okay, so let's pretend that NONE of this has anything to do with the target.com system. The CS agent's ONLY solution was "I'll just set you up with a new account with your correct email." But I have an order in...what about that? They swore the order would transfer to the new account. It was beginning to dawn on me why I don't do target.com & I could see TARGET with two duplicate orders sent. So, I told CS in no uncertain terms to leave the account as is, I would do without the email confirmation, & do not set up another account or change anything.

    Check my bank account today & Target has two pending charges on my credit card. Just in case you don't understand what happens when a vendor places a pending charge on your account--those funds are no longer yours to use; they now belong to the vendor until the vendor decides to release them. I had planned those funds to be part of my 3 grandsons' Xmas. Called CS again, because AGAIN, no working chat, and was told sure they will get right on that & give my funds back...the funds of the DOUBLE CHARGE that they had NO RIGHT to ever, in seven to ten business days. That makes it too late to buy gifts & get them shipped cross-country on time for Xmas.

    Customer Satisfaction Survey: Will you use target.com again? Not in a million years. Once I get this order the account will be closed forever. Will you recommend target.com to friends? HAHAHA! You're joking, right? Oh, I have a recommendation alright; it involves where they might consider sticking target.com for safe keeping. How likely is it that this experience will encourage you to shop at your local Target store? AGAIN, you're kidding, right? And I see that, with their numerous ONE STAR ratings, Target just ain't getting that. Their fiercest competition is now online and will be beating the red dots off them if target.com can't keep up. And when they go the way of Sears, or get gobbled up by amazon.com I for one will shed no tears. Bye, Target. <:

I did not have a chance to go back to the store to have this fixed until a week later because I have a busy life, and Target is not close by. They will not honor it because it is over 3 days. You would think they would have better customer service than this. It is not my fault that their items don't ring up correctly, and now they won't even help me unless I want to return the items, which one of them has already been opened. So ridiculous! I was asking for my $5 back, not an outrageous request! You can do better Target.

    Caution to online buyers: Target may sometimes change prices in your cart before checkout, claiming price changes can occur at any time, and they cannot look back to see at what price your items were when you initially added them to your cart. A promotion was still in effect, but the "sale price" went up on one of my items. Do a screenshot of your original cart so you can prove what the original price was before they unexpectedly raised it.

    I ordered several sets of flatware. Four were delivered and then Target.com sent an email saying the rest of the order was delayed and had no expected delivery date. I called and they still could not give a delivery date after I was placed on hold many times plus the customer service rep did not speak English well enough for me to understand them without repeating the conversation multiple times.

    Next day I found all but two of the flatware sets in the store and bought them. When I tried to cancel the order online the software would only allow me to cancel two sets. I called customer service and again got a rep I could not understand. Again after placing me on hold multiple times could not cancel my order. By this time I was extremely frustrated and just hung up. TARGET SHOULD LEARN FROM AMAZON. THEY DO ONLINE ORDERING WELL! TARGET.COM YOU NEED HELP! I will not use Target.com again!

    I love doing my grocery shopping at Target. The convenience of getting my groceries as well as any upcoming birthday gifts, clothing, shoes etc. make my life and tasks much easier. Plus the extra savings with Cartwheel and the added 5 percent off for using my Target card saves me even more. Because our Target is not as big as some Supercenters we always don't have all products in stock. Don't worry though the great customer service makes up for that! Try it, I'm sure you'll find the same great experience I have, 2 to 3 times a week.

    Not even a year ago we purchased the Threshold Gilford collection bedroom furniture. The two dressers and side tables are complete crap. They looked beautiful and were easy to set up. However, the bottom of the drawers are made of basically cardboard. They do not attach to the drawer other than sliding in slots. The clothes go right through the sides and the drawers do not close. We spent a ton of money and time on these dressers and they are already falling apart not even a year into owning them. I will never buy Target furniture again, and neither should anyone else.

    Target put out a huge marketing campaign today advertising their Black Friday deals. They also advertised for one day only, today, you could get some of the items at their special Black Friday price. The problem with this huge marketing campaign was this; 1. They did not have adequate stock of all items to push marketing for consumers to buy them early in their warehouses and their stores. 2. Stores were not equipped to handle the huge marketing push and assist customers. As soon as I got the alert I went online to order an item. It was out of stock. I called my local store and was assured they had three. I couldn't buy it then and come pick it up and I couldn't put it on hold.

    However, the associate assured me that if I came now it would be there for me to purchase. It was not. I called another store. Yep, they had one and I could come now. Same story. The associate then told me it looked like there was a store 30-45 minutes from me that had 4 in stock. Not at all helpful! I then called corporate customer service. I asked why they would do such a huge marketing push and not have the product available. The man said he could understand and thanked me for my feedback. Based on my feedback he assured me that in the future they would make sure nothing like this happened again. What? That was how they chose to resolve a poorly planned marketing campaign. I shared with him that both stores I went to told me that they were only given 1-2 on hand. If this is how they prep for a pre-Black Friday sale I cannot imagine how disappointed consumers like me will be if they prep like this for actual Black Friday sales.

    I recently used the PICK UP TOMORROW feature on TARGET's online ordering process. I am a TARGET CREDIT CARD holder since 2015 and have had items shipped to the store and have picked up a few days later / after their arrival to the store location. This time, I utilized the option where I put in an order for items that were already at the store (much like WALMART or KROGER grocery ordering service) and it certainly needs work.

    None of the associates knew where my items were (the order consisted of less than 10 kitchen items and 1 game item). I arrived after calling the store and they verified by the time I got there, 1.5 hours later, my order should be ready. I ordered the items the previous evening at 1015 PM EST; I arrived @ 1 PM EST the following day and my order was not located / not processed / not ready. Three different associates had a different story as to why: items were arranged but left somewhere... They do not have enough room in their customer service area to hold the pick up items, etc.

    Ultimately, I was urged to leave and return in a while that same day [for 2 hours] and my order was STILL not ready. The items made their way to the customer service area in a basket, however they were not processed, bagged or ready for me to take home. I had to wait an additional 15 minutes while they processed my items and bagged them. The overall process was not satisfactory at all and I will probably never use it again. It saved no time, I am certain I would have been able to obtain my order quicker if I shopped the aisles myself rather than having the associates attempt to put it together for me. They are not ready to offer this service, it needs organization and work.

I spent 2 hours on the phone with them trying to get this figured out, but their employees and systems are so incompetent that they couldn't solve my problem.

    Today I took my 14 month old twins shopping along with my two sisters to Target located in White Plains. We strolled and walked around the store for about an hour. I proceeded to check out and my sister had to take one of the boys cause they started to get fussy. I was checking out at the register when my son starting crying so I held him and threw the receipt in one of the bags. I was planning to go buy them a pizza at the food court, but decided not too cause now both of them are crying. I have my one year old in one hand and the shopping cart in the other as I proceed to walk out and I get stopped by a young gentlemen asking me for my receipt, mind you I have four bags a box of diapers and a Fisher price car that I bought my boys.

    I told him I didn’t know where I put it, that I must’ve put it in one of the bags and all this is going on while standing in the middle of the in and out doors while my son is crying. The associate then proceeds to look into the bags for my receipt and at this point I’m mad at the fact that he sees me struggling with my boy as he literally stands there making me search bag by bag. Then he is asking me where I paid! At this point I am beyond mad and embarrassed as people just stare at me looking like I was a thief. I walk him to the cashier and he is literally asking the cashier if he had checked me out. At this point my sister finds the receipt and bring it to me and I gave it to this person and he didn’t even looked at the items. I told him he could keep my receipt as I proceeded to walk out of the store feeling beyond embarrassed and completely frustrated.

    I work in retail and I would never let my associates treat a customer like I was treated. He literally treated me like a thief! I want to speak to the store managers supervisor as I have been shopping in this store in multiple occasions and I have never been asked for a receipt at the door and definitely not like today.

When checking the status of the order on 10/26/17 the Target website and the UPS website indicated I would not receive the item until 10/30/17. Unfortunately I needed the item for an event on 10/27. While communicating with an associate via chat who assured me I would still receive the order on 10/26 and to ignore the Target and UPS website information I contacted a Target associate via phone at 1 (800) 440-0680. This Target associate stated he saw I would not receive the order until 10/31 but that I could not request to cancel the order that day (10/26) as it was the day that it should be delivered. He informed me I could call back on 10/27, request a supervisor to reroute the product, cancel the order and get a full refund immediately.

    When I called Target.com customer service at 1 (800) 440-0680 on 10/27/17 and asked for a supervisor I was not allowed to speak with one until I went through the whole process again. When I was transferred to a supervisor, she called UPS and rerouted the Amazon Echo back to Target. She did not inform me prior to doing so that I would not receive a refund until 10 days after the product was received back by Target.com. If Target.com did not receive the product back, a special team would consider my refund. Target.com did not deliver per the order and I am financially liable for their failed performance not to mention Target.com does not honor the information given to the consumer during issue resolution.

    I just got back from a visit to the Target Stores at the Eastland Mall in West Covina, CA. What a joke!!! I went into the store to buy baby food, soda, personal care items and first aid items. I was entitled to (3) $5.00 Gift Cards with the accurate items purchased at the specified dollar amount. I even placed all in groups to make it easy for the checker. The checker had no knowledge of anything in the Sunday Target ad and it is Tuesday??? She had to ask for assistance because the baby food was in packs of 4 each instead of individual portions? Then when I paid for the purchase, I asked her where my $5.00 gift cards are and she looked at me with a blank stare???

    She again called for assistance and some guy named Sonny approached to help. I told him that I purchased items that made me entitled to receive (3) $5.00 gift cards. He said, “Well let me look in the ad to see.” I then said to him, why is it so difficult to collect my gift cards, is this store different than my Diamond Bar store? He replied, "Yes it could be that we are different, not all the stores work the same???" Then he opens the ad and tells me that unless I bring the ad in with me to have the checker scan the coupon, I will not get my gift cards??? REALLY!!! I proceeded to the customer service desk with my receipt and no merchandise and demanded a credit/return to my credit card.

    At the customer service desk there were stacks of the ads, but Sonny could not scan one to provide me with my gift cards??? This $5.00 gift card promotion is bogus because after you jump thru hoops with the purchase you then get to deal with the stupidity and lack of common sense by the staff!!! I called to get the district managers name (Juan **) and contact information in addition to the store manager (Stephanie) phone number. I called and asked for management and got a Security person, not a store manager... This is a perfect reason why Target is losing market share so quickly.

    Let me just preface this by saying this should have / could have been a huge deal. In 2014, Colorado, my son received a liquid steroid medication from the Target Pharmacy. After giving to my son, we realized that there was an ANTIDEPRESSANT capsule inside of the bottle, with the syrup. I have photos, this was expressed to the pharmacy, paperwork was made etc. We simply told the pharmacy they needed to ensure whatever happened wouldn't happen again to anyone else. Quite frankly I deserved (STILL DESERVE) like one year of free Target **NO JOKE** for keeping this out of the media and not suing. That's strike one - big strike.

    Most recently I moved to a smaller town where I have no choice but to do online ordering for my major purchases. I generally LOVE Target's selection and service which is why I order from them. My son received a $200 razor scooter for Christmas from Target. He naturally didn't open it until March because the winters in Missouri suck, and the scooter didn't work. Brand new scooter, Charger didn't worked, scooter didn't work, pain in the rear. Called Target in Lees Summit, spoke with a supervisor, told her I didn't have receipt was purchased for Christmas etc. Drove 40 miles to Lee's Summit to exchange the scooter for one in stock. Was told after this effort that the 90 days had lapsed. They wouldn't accept the fact that a woman THE DAY BEFORE IN A SUPERVISOR POSITION told me they would exchange it. One ANGRY customer. Now I get to deal with the headache of Razor warranty exchange.

    Most recently, I ordered a baby gate for my dog to use to keep him away from the cat. The Target website specified under "product details" that the gate had a maximum expansion of 46". WRONG. Gate maxed out at 38" which even read on the box. Got to go through the headache of returning THAT puppy and ordering a new one - all without having the refund for the one I got due to their error.

    Then, ordered some adorable Sugarfix BaubleBar earrings. Got the earrings THE EARRING WAS MISSING. IT'S STONE. The stone was huge and how anyone shipped this without realizing is insane. Strike 4. NOW I ordered some soaps as a gift to my mother. After waiting a week got a lovely email stating the truck was damaged so they're not only not refunding my card for 2 weeks (lol) but I have to order a replacement if I want the items. Strike 5.

    I was told the most I could receive was a 5% discount off my $20 purchase. Another lol. At this point all I want to do is spread the mission of misfortune treatment that I've received from Target. It's quite frankly unreal. I spend LOTS of money and cannot believe the levels of inconvenience I've faced from simply ordering online through them.

    Low Customer Service at Albany, CA Target Store - While I was with my family in the store, after making payment for some items, I decided to do the second round of shopping for myself, so my husband stayed with my baby and I looked around with the purchased items in the cart. After selecting few items I went to a cashier to pay for them and explained to the cashier that I have already paid for the rest of the items in the shopping cart. She started investigation as a police officer, asking for the receipt! I replied to her that the receipt was with my husband who was in the store at the time and if it was an issue, I could go to the self check out cashier and do my payment by myself and eventually two persons were in the charge of checking the receipts of the customers at the exit, but she didn't stop and called the security loudly at the exit to alert them to check my items!

    It was very inappropriate reaction in front of other people in the line. Although, after I requested for seeing the manager, who came and apologized for the situation that happened (offering 50% off on the items that I was supposed to buy), this lady at the cashier was showing attitude to me as if I was wrong! This terrible experience with a low customer service at this store, made me do my shopping online.

    While I love Target stores, I feel I can never shop there again. After shopping for two and a half hours in the store picking out items for my classroom, baby showers, home and even groceries upon checkout I was told Target was refusing my check for $356.25. I called the number on the back of my refused check and was told it was due to results of "history" of purchases or lack thereof. Two months prior I had a visit where I spent $280 and I did the month before that also. I am confident history would show I, in fact, always spend right about $300 at the start of the school year. Is it the discrepancy of $70 between amounts? Is it due to policy to not accept personal checks over $350? Easy solution: make that known to employees and to consumers to avoid the humiliating situation I found myself in. Is it because Target's ability to save customer "history" extends to one-month increments?

    Again, over the years start of school is a big spender for me especially with children in college. Is it because corporate hopes to choke out personal check writing with the Target debit card attached to my checking account? I was humiliated as I had more than sufficient funds in my account, yet Target refused my check. I do not want a store card attached to my checking with so much hacking as a possibility. Please do check into my history, Target corporate, as you will find I often spend upwards of $200 on visits.

He's watching us do this standing right next to us and then as I put my wallet away he proceeds to ask me for the receipt. I refused because I said "you stood there. watch the whole transaction. I want the manager." Manager came out. He apologized, said "the security guard was doing his job." I said "What his job was to watch me.

Its delivery date as noted on their online system keeps moving back, so I contacted their customer service to find out what's going on and when I will get my item. It is now several days past the original due date. Target's customer service has a chat facility and a phone number, and I have tried to get resolution from both to no avail. I tried the chat facility twice: Yesterday, Frank guaranteed it would arrive today. It is now about 9 pm and it's not here. Today, Andrew told me that all he can do is see that the product is available, but reps in the chat facility do not have access to warehouse info about why it has not shipped or when it will ship (So, was Frank lying to me when he said he could see that it had shipped and would get to me today?). He said I had to call their customer service phone number: 1-800-591-3869.

    So I tried that phone number twice. Both times, the person I was talking to failed to have any resolution information, and they said they had to put me on hold. Then after I was on hold for about 10 minutes, I heard someone pick up the line and disconnect the call. The two people I talked to were named Rey and Emman.

The head cashier, or whatever title he holds, saw that there many people in line and he just stands there. He served one person, never turning his light on, then he walked away and went over to customer service desk. He returned and there were multiple people in line and still he just stands there never opening a lane. I'm in line now for about 15 minutes when I finally get to the cashier.

    While I'm checking out he goes to a register and starts checking out several Target employees. It was incredulous! I got his name, Steve. I'm calling Target and making a customer complaint! The cashiers are typically nice but Steve needs to be made aware that people expect good service and he needs to step up. I shop almost exclusively at Target for my household needs. I don't appreciate waiting 20 minutes when it's obvious that he could help out when the lines get too long. I'm pretty sure that is his job!

    Product ordered for delivery to Santee, Ca. store and 20 days later, not received at the store although online page said available 2 days after order placed. It took 2 phone calls and 2 online chats to find out it wasn't received at the store. Cancelled order and found out that a hold was placed on my funds when I ordered, and it will be 7 to 10 days before they will release my money back to my card. Never could print my order. I just got a blank page printed out. Twice. DO NOT USE TARGET'S ONLINE ORDER SYSTEM. Go to some other site because others have the same stuff that Target has and they have way better service.

    The Target at Skyview, Flushing has the worse customer services ever!!! Once, I visited the toy section with my one year old boy, we were just looking around to see which toy to buy. One male target sale just passed by very fast and said "don't play if not buying" and left. I was like excuse you??? Not to say that we didn't even play, how the hell you know I'm not buying!!! I wasn't able to complain since the guy just said it and passed by very fast. I went there again to buy diapers again. The cashier didn't give me the gift card. When I tried to show her the picture of the deal, she didn't even look and just tell me the computer didn't pop up the gift card and I need to go to another side to ask. Don't you need to check on that? I didn't want to waste my time so I said I would like to return. She told me I have to go to the other side too!!! What a waste of my time!!! I'll never go there ever again!!!

    I went to Target to get uniforms for my girls because I saw that they were having a sale. So I found some polos that my girls seemed to like and I was going to buy them, I didn't know if they were the ones on sale for $5.00 instead of $7.00. I went to the scanner to make sure it was the price the sale said and it was the sale price for $5.00. I looked online as they didn't have all of the colors needed for school and the price was different. So I asked an associate and she said maybe because it had a pocket but I didn't understand that so I went to customer service and she said that it should be the same price no matter what color, even if I ordered them online, she actually looked up the numbers online so it would be easier for me to order the ones that I needed. As I tried to order online they still were the wrong price.

    So I went to another Target and asked customer service about the shirts, she scanned it stating that they were the price I thought and she told me to call the number online, so I did while still in the store. After going through 3 people, the last person finally helped me and I explained the prices were not the same, what I have been through, etc. After being told that all Targets and online don't have the same prices and they don't have to honor the price differences.

    After I explained that it doesn't all make sense. He finally said that he would give me the colors that I needed for the shirts for the sale price. He wanted me to pay for them online right then but I said I couldn't as my mother was going to buy them for me, I could call back tomorrow and pay for them.. He said, "Okay I will give you a confirmation number." I said, "Do I need to call back and ask for him or could I talk to anyone", he said, "No just give them the number and they could help."

    I decided to call back about 3 hours later and not only get the 4 shirts plus 2 extra shirts. I had to explain my whole story over AGAIN because the man that helped me before didn't write any information or comments. After explaining to the lady, she tells me that they can't honor the sale price and what the man told me wasn't valid, no Target has those shirts for the prices that I said that they were and they can't even give them to me for that price. I asked to talk to the Manager and after all he said the same thing all over again. I asked them to call the 2 stores to check the prices for the shirts but he said the prices for the shirts for the stores were online and it didn't say anything for $5.00 per shirt and that the $7.00 they were marked were the right prices. I told him that the man that helped me should get reprimanded for the wrong information that was given by him and I said their customer service sucks.

    I have been a manager myself and I have been in the customer service and I have always been taught the customer is always right and you should solve the issues with them right away. It is mind blowing how they treated me and the situation and how it was not much of a big difference in price at all to change. They should have tried to work with me and try to solve it. This is the worst customer service that I have ever had in my whole life and I will never, ever go to Target again. I can't believe they treat people like this and get away with it, I wouldn't want anyone to even work for Target.

    I placed my first online order with Target.com, buying about $600 worth of curtains that were on a 24 hour sale. I received a confirmation order with arrival dates. I did not receive the items, so logged in to my account to check on the status. The order was cancelled. They did not notify me of this (by phone or email). I called to ask why, she asked for all of my billing details, and then asked for a different email address. I said, "no, you have my email address, why do you need another email address?" (they have had absolutely no problem sending me spam all day to this email address). She said the order was cancelled (um, yeah, I know). She said that she could not provide me any information about why my order was cancelled. I asked to speak to a manager. She said she was the highest up person and could give me no details.

    So I chatted online with support, with another person (Phil), and asked him to honor the discount (approximately $250 for the items), he said he would, and then abruptly hung up the chat. So I chatted with yet another person (Lily), she told me to call and ask for the Order Verification Dept. So I called Order Verification, and spoke to (Carmelo). He said he could not help me and that they would cancel all future online orders that I place. Um. WHAT? I cannot place ANY online orders from Target, or they will cancel them. For reasons that they will not tell me. My credit card is not declining the orders. They are refusing to offer me service. Are they discriminating against me? For Shame.

    For the first time I am really disappointed with the Target and the inconsistency with information regarding available products for sale. I have bought a crib and painted and decorated my nursery according to this set and went back to get the dresser that matched the crib that I had bought just weeks earlier. I contacted Target and the manufacturer and they both told me It was not available and they told me they confirmed by the vendor that it was discontinued in the color I needed. It caused me to be very distressed during my pregnancy I was really looking forward to having this matching set. The store has it displayed with the other color as a option to get, saying it is available. so I preplanned by nursery around this when it's really not available. I have contacted different Targets, the online Target help center, the Facebook help center, and actually Delta children's manufacture and everyone is told me the same thing.

    I really feel that is false advertisement when it says that it's in the store available then come to find out it wasn't. Despite the information I was given I continued to search for the project and try every day a few times a day and then and then it just so happened one time I did try it and it allowed me to put it in my cart and purchase it. I was so fearful I would get a email saying the same thing every one else told me. Then my husband contacted another Target email that we had found and they told him it actually was available just by online ordering. So we ordered it don't have it yet but hopefully we get it and not given the wrong information AGAIN. Which I'm so confused being told by like 7 different people it wasn't available? Bottom of the line I am so relieved that I am able to get it in the end, but that was so much stress that shouldn't of Happened... I am spending a lot of money at Target and it's just very disappointing...

    I used to work at the Target store at Bayshore Gardens Parkway in Bradenton, Florida. There is a lady named Bonnie ** who works in "Asset Protection." This is about as funny as when they refer to their counterparts at other stores as "business partners." But I suppose for an individual with no formal education or any kind of training, this job at Target is the best thing that ever happened to her. She wants to be a cop so bad she cannot stand it, so she did the next best thing, she married one named Carl ** of the Bradenton Police Department.

    I worked at this store and I have see this woman being overly aggressive when apprehending individuals. Although some might see this as an asset, I am amazed that Target has never been sued over the actions of Bonnie **. As you can see from the attached photos she takes her role in "Asset Protection" way too seriously. And it seems odd that she calls for police to apprehend individuals. She either calls her husband or one of his friends. So when police are tasked with whether to arrest someone or not this gives Ms. Jones an unfair advantage and undue influence over the decisions the police make. And although I have seen Bonnie ** lie on her statements, who is going to question her, her husband one of his friends? In addition to Ms. **, the customer service at this store is poor and the people are unprofessional.

I couldn't find my size and the sales associate told me to go online and that they price match! Woohoo... So I get to the register to inquire about it only for them to tell me they don't price match online... Manager tells me to call a store that has the shoe and get them to send it to me. I call, only for them to tell me they can't hold it, not can I pay over the phone... I just have to take the ride and chance them not having it. Called Corporate, they're just as ignorant! No one helped me... Don't Care about the customers at all. Today I called Customer service about the same shoes to order them online (different color).

    I tell the guy about the in store price being different from online, he says "No worries, we price match. Hold, I'm transferring you to the dept..." Got hung up on. Called back. Lady told me they did price match. "Let me transfer you," says "Don't worry, you won't get hung up on and you won't have to explain again, because I've already explained it, I just need to transfer you so she can adjust your price". I hold, only for the lady to be on the phone and tell me they don't price match clearance items! Meanwhile, no one ever specified clearance, regular, sale... They just said we price match!

    I ordered a bag of coffee and realized that it would take until Friday to receive it. An hour later I called to cancel. I was transferred to a supervisor who put me on the line for 15 minutes just to pick up the phone and hang up. I called again the same thing happened. The third time after much complaining I was finally transferred to a supervisor who picked up the phone. Apparently they cannot cancel orders even if they will not be shipped until two days after you've placed your order. If Target is going to have this policy in place they need to warn consumers before purchase. The long call wait times and supervisors hanging up the phone only proves that they have no interest in helping consumers and the fact that they do not allow their employees to cancel orders when it is in fact very simple to do is just another way Target takes money from consumers.

    I placed the order on a Saturday and called exactly one hour later to cancel. It would be one thing if I placed this order on a Tuesday morning during business hours but I placed it on a Saturday evening meaning they cannot do anything with my order until Monday. So yes my order can be cancelled, Target just simply put this in place to make it nearly impossible for consumers to get their money back. I do not advise anyone to order from Target online. Target is a 40 billion dollar company and the fact that they cannot cancel an order that was placed on a Saturday evening and hour after it was placed is utterly ridiculous. Now I guess it makes sense why this company has so much money. They are simply scam artists. Not only that their customer service hides from calls they do not feel like dealing with. I'm absolutely disgusted with the way this company treats their customers.

    BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE. I am a devoted Amazon user but decided to give Target a try- never again. I ordered several items in one order, and they were all shipped together in the same box (I thought this was great as less packaging means less waste and better for environment). Unfortunately, in this box they added a laundry detergent that was not properly sealed or bagged, so it leaked and everything in the box got ruined.

    I called Target and after going through a lengthy process of emailing pictures and answering a lot of questions, they said that before I was able to receive any refund or replacement, I had to send back the items to them, and after they receive them then they would be able to send new things back. As the box was completely destroyed by the liquid, I had no box to ship all this back to them, and they were unable to send me one to return all these items... Long story short - they were NOT helpful, and tried to tell me some of the things that were ruined were actually not ruined and they would not refund me for. I am never shopping on their website again.

    I've been a loyal customer to Target for many years now and always read about the complaints but never quite experienced anything. Until I started online shopping. I ordered an electronic download game as a gift. I have done about three purchases like this and never had a problem. I would receive them about 3 hours later. This time was different. It's been about 5 days and they are not about to locate my "package". I was on the phone with many representatives and I continue to receive different answers. One employee mentioned that I am able to "return" the email. Working in various retail stores I was hesitant to believe her as I've seen these scenarios all the time where the customer is unable to receive a refund. I called moments later and had another associate tell me that no I will not be able to return it.

    I requested my shipment to be canceled and was told I'm not able to cancel it unless it was no later than 5 mins after purchasing... 5 minutes??? So we continued a cancellation request. They told me to call back in 24/hrs to see if it has been canceled. I called back only to be told it can take a couple of days. By this time I had no birthday present... I call back two days later... Still no answer if the EMAIL delivery will be canceled or not. The representative said to call back again 24 hrs. I completely lost trust in Target's customer service and ended up checking all my other orders to make sure everything was sent correctly. Come to find out one of the games I had sent to a friend never made it there on MAY 1st. I checked the tracking and it says it's still being processed. It's June 20th...

    I've never experienced such terrible service. And customer service didn't help at all. Each person was giving me different answers and false information. What if I listened to the first representative and didn't do a cancellation request and just waited for the package to return it? Now I'm still waiting on the package to be sent to me. Their excuse? "The warehouse has to send it out to you". It's not a physical package it's an email. Why is it taking so long to even find out if it's going to be canceled or not? I bought another game on the actual EA games website and received a code immediately!

    Target has gone down in store appearance. The tables have not been folded in weeks, shelves have empty spots, hardly any employees on sales floor. To me, it looks like Target is going out of business but they keep remolding stores. Walmart looks so much better. Their tables are full, hardly any empty spaces and more employees on sales floor. Bottom line, Target needs fresh ideas to bring people into the stores and it needs new Corporate levels of management. People that care about the stores (keeping them full), care about employees (give them more hours to keep store maintained), care about the guest (carry products that people need). Thank you.

I feel that if they advertise this as being a Target exclusive then there should be more available in stores than just a few especially considering it just came out yesterday.

    First I would like to say that I am all about Target. I usually love Target and have never had a bad experience prior to today. I shop there at least once a week but today was just awful. I go up to the check out to start putting my clothes and baby food on the conveyor. And first the checker Alex asks me to start taking all of the hangers off of the clothes I just put up there. (Mind you I have about 30+ items of clothing). And "ok fine but where am I suppose to put the hangers" I ask her. She says "just throw them in the cart." Ok. So I do I start taking all of the hangers out and throwing them in the cart I have with me. Then I get to up there to pay and she makes the comment "these are some big clothes". And at that I don't even know what to say. I just don't say anything and keep to myself on that one. And yes I wear Size Large/XL clothing but why the hell is she commenting on it I have no clue.

    So then she proceeds to bag everything and looks at me and asks if 3 bags is ok because she can't fit "these big clothes in just 2 bags"??? OK. I NEVER asked her to fit said clothes in the minimum amount of bags possible. If she needed to use more than 2 bags by all means please do so I can at least carry them out to the car without the bags bursting. So now I am taking all of the 4 bags she gave me plump full of clothes and putting them in the cart. Then she asks me if I plan on keeping the hangers that I still have in the bottom of the cart, under the bags now. And I said no I do not. She then proceeds to tell me to take all of the hangers out and put them on the counter next to her. SERIOUSLY.

    So now I take out all of the bags again set them on the ground, take out all the damn hangers that she just told me previously to put in the damn cart and move the hangers to the counter. Now put my bags back in my cart and walk away to the customer service desk, I ask to speak to a manager and the guy there gets his manager. Now the manager looked younger than me and I'm all of 24 yrs old. So I tell him that this checker was very rude and that she shouldn't be talking to customers the way she did to me. The manager then says ok, runs to his computer, rings up a 10 dollar gift card, hands it to me, apologizes. I look at him and say I don't want a gift card. I want you to know how your checker is treating her customers so she can possibly receive some more training and not continue to do that. So all he says to me is "ok I will talk to her" and walks away from me. End of discussion. What the actual hell. Worst customer service experience ever.

    While trying to place an order via the customer service number I was scammed. They said I had won a hundred dollar rebate, if I would give them my address and full credit card info. They said they needed my credit card info because it costs 4.95 to mail the rebate to me. I said no. The lady continued to ask for my information while talking above me and not listening to me. I said absolutely not. She hung up. I called back, different lady same story. I was told that this is not Target's phone number anymore and still more of them trying to scam me. I got mad and this lady hung up too. I called the store. I was told that Target.com is not run by Target but by a third party. Ugg.

    Shame on you, Target! Earlier today we bought $200.00 worth of patio furniture cushions. Turns out they didn't fit correctly so we went to another Target to return them later in the evening. Customer Service sent us to the original Target because they don't do same day returns at a different store. Even with the receipt and all tags on it. What a terrible policy, Target.

    I found a TV on sale at Santa Maria TARGET store on April 23, 2017. The sale tag did not say "Limited quantity". It didn't say "One only". My (disabled adult) son was getting agitated, so we left to take him home. I purchased a Target gift card to purchase the TV, dropped off my husband and son at home and returned TARGET but discovered they only had ONE TV and it had been SOLD. A sales associate then offered me the floor model for the full sales price. While waiting for the manager, they sold THAT TV too!

    The manager tried to sell me another TV on sale for $100 MORE. She blamed ME for not talking to a sales associate (one hour) earlier. I explained the issue with my (disabled) son and told her had the tag been properly MARKED "ONE ONLY" or "LIMITED QUANTITY", my husband would have taken my son outside and I would have purchased the TV on the spot. She still refused to make it right by offering another TV at the same price or looking for that TV at another store. She was very unkind and not at all understanding of our situation or the fact my son has a very limited income. I contacted the CORPORATE OFFICE and they also offered nothing to correct the situation.

    Well I'm never ordering anything off of Target's website ever again. Placed an order, and realized less than 5 minutes later that I goofed on my address. Spoke to someone in the customer service department that said I have only two options- cancel the order, or attempt to intercept it when it ships. Cancelling at that point was the most logical considering it was still processing. But what company doesn't allow you to edit your address within a short period of time after placing the order??? Customer service rep doesn't cancel order. Just got notification that my package shipped to the UPS Woodbury Warehouse.

    Third customer service rep said there's nothing they can do until it gets there. So my package was sitting in a Target warehouse for more than 12 hours, and because Target uses a third party for their customer service- it causes more issues for their customers. That's cool. Next time I can only get something on the Target website, I'll just go somewhere else to get a similar product.

    My friend took her time to go to Target. She had an event going on at school and she was required to bring brownies. Target usually has brownies in stock every other day, but they didn't have any. That is unacceptable because she took her time to go get brownies but no there wasn't any. So I suggest the next time she goes there better be brownies!!!

Even after both a thank you and a confirmation page and no error on our side they STILL stuck us with a late fee and interest. When told we would cancel our card if they did not fix their error they said "that's up to you and we can't help you." We still had to pay to avoid collections and save our credit score.

    I went to two different Target stores in the Portland, Oregon area today and attempted to purchase a KitchenAid 4 slice toaster. The price was marked $69.99 on the shelf. When I went to the checkout stand the price came up with $0.00 which I knew was incorrect. A clerk came over and was unable to get the price to come up on the self-checkout so she took me a regular checkout stand which came up with the same results. After 5 minutes, still nothing so I told the clerk I would go to another store where I could hopefully get better results. The same thing occurred at the second Target store. It seems that employees do not look at the items they place on their shelves. Never will go to another Target Store. Target Corporate Headquarters doesn't even want to allow you to make online complaints.

    My wedding is March 12, 2017. I placed an order for little girls dress shoes for my daughter to wear with her flower girl dress on Feb 23, 2017. I ordered a size 2 and 3 because I wasn't sure about what size would fit her best. I received my order on March 1, 2017, but instead of getting what I ordered I received a size 3 and 4. Both shoes were way too big for my daughter. If I had received the correct order (size 2) then it would have fit her perfectly.

    I called Target.com and spoke to their employee. I explained the situation, and instead of him apologizing for their mistake he said "So you were not able to receive the correct size?" I told him "yes, yes I was able to receive my correct order, but you all failed to send the correct order." He then placed a new order for the correct size, then proceeded to tell me "as a one time courtesy, I'll waive the shipping cost." Seriously? A one time courtesy? For your mess up? I didn't complain, I just said thank you because I just wanted to get the correct size in time for my wedding.

    The replacement pair was sent on March 2nd, and I received it March 6th. 6 days before my wedding. I was soooo happy they got here in time, but that happiness quickly faded. I opened the box, and instead of getting the correct size 2 I needed for my daughter, I got a size 3!!! THE WRONG SIZE AGAIN!!! Now I'm 5 days out from my wedding, and there's just not enough time to get another pair shipped to me. Even if there was, I'm not confident that Target would even get it right this time.

    I placed an order through Target.com and requested store pick up. We later received an email stating that some items weren't available in the store, and so we opted to have those items shipped to us. We then picked up our items from the store, but two additional items were missing. The store claimed to have no record of the items, even after we showed them our order summary. We then received an email stating that our card had been charged $100.05 since we picked the items up. Our order summary total was $92.26. So we were overcharged and missing 5 items. I went online and chatted with customer service who reports that they couldn't do anything because their system wouldn't update for 24 hours, and requested that we try again tomorrow or call their 800 number because they should be able to issue a refund. I called their 1-800 number and that was even worse.

    There was no supervisor available, and they couldn't do anything until they called the store and claimed that there was no electronic record of any of this. I requested an itemized receipt for why my card was charged 100.05 and was told that only a manager could issue a receipt and that one wouldn't not be available until I called back the next day. When I requested that the items that were not included in my order pick up be shipped to me, they reported they would not be able to do that because I had selected pick up. They then offered to place another order for me for store pick up, where I would pay for the items again, and then have to go back to the store and try and pick them up again. As they left it, there was nothing they could do, unless I called back the next day after their system had time to update and a manager was available. I feel like I have wasted a ton of time to to be overcharged and not even receive the items that we ordered.

    Is Target trying to scam their customers? I have read multiple reviews about Target customer service and charges to their account and apparently, I am not an isolated case. In fact, there are more than 285 complaints on the website, it will take me a couple of days to read them. However, this is my story: On Monday, a loan officer pulled my account and informed me of my credit score. I was confident that I have an excellent score. However, this loan officer warned me not to get upset. He said that I owe Target Store. He said, I did not pay my bill since December and the store decided to report it to the Credit Bureau. What?! I don't remember having received a bill in the mail. So I opened my online account and there it was. The account was past due. Actual purchase was $31.85. So, I called them the following day and I was transferred to the dispute department.

    I told them calmly that I didn't get a bill for December and none in January. The lady insisted that they sent them and they didn't have a returned mail to say that I did not receive it. I told her that she can check my account history and she will see that I have paid all my purchases on time and in full. She then said that she can't do anything about it and she can't remove any late fees. My total amount has gone up to 82.00 on that day. So to avoid any more arguments as I know that there's no point arguing with her, I asked who I can send my complaint. The lady would not give me the address nor a name to send it to. With me further insisting that I am paying the amount but I also have the right to voice my complaint, she looked up the address of her office. How would she not know where her office which is the dispute department located? Still she insisted that nothing can be done.

    She even warned me that if I don't pay it on the 10th of Feb. it will further incur late fees. And you know what, on Thursday, Feb. 9th, I received the statement and my late fee has further increased. So I owe them $97.09. Target, this is a rip off!!! And for the amount of $31.85, sending it to the Credit Bureau when you did not send me my statement is outrageous! You ruined my score and it might and it has affected my ability to purchase at a better rate. Heck, I have been one of your best customers! I will never ever use my Red Card again. I will shred it and will tell everyone I know not to apply for a Red Card. In fact, I will not be shopping at your store again. Remember, you reap what you sow! I can understand your store is struggling but your poor customer service and dishonest business policy has brought you to where you are now. I won't be surprise if you fold up soon.

    I am very frustrated that Target cancelled my pre-order of the Nintendo Switch. First, I called Target customer service to ask why they were not charging my credit card for the purchase, but were only putting a pre-authorization on my card. They said the pre-authorization was normal until time of shipping. Then, two hours later, they sent me an e-mail to say they cancelled my order "due to insufficient funds." But, they had just told me the pre-authorization was fine! When I called within a minute of receiving the e-mail about the cancellation, Target said that they couldn't reach my credit card after my call earlier that day. Then I got the credit card company online to talk with Target and suddenly Target said it didn't matter that my credit card company was happy to take the charge, just Target didn't have any more Switches to sell with pre-orders.

    Really uncool to take more preorders than they have inventory to sell! Everyone else is also sold out, so I'm left with no Nintendo Switch, thanks to Target's careless approach to customer service. The honorable approach would have been to ask me to call about any questions they had about my order, rather than cancel it without giving me any chance to give them a different credit card, get the credit card company on the phone, etc.

Their automated phone system is terrible... no matter what selection you make it transfers you then hangs up on you. I tried every possible prompt. I then was able to get through by selecting pharmacy and renew prescription, but I was informed by the CVS employee that they rent that space and they couldn't transfer me or help me. I explained my situation. She put me on hold for 10 minutes and then hung up on me. I called back. She reminded me that she worked for CVS, and I asked her nicely to give my contact information to the store manager. She wrote it down. I waited 1 hour and no one ever called. At this point I am so overwhelmed and frustrated and running out of time. This was not ok. They don't have a working phone system. I called corporate. WOW... no better.

    So I spoke with a gentlemen at corporate and explained the entire situation. He put me on hold and said he was going to get a hold of someone at the store. On hold 15 minutes then was hung up on. HMMM... well he spent a good amount of time getting my cell, my email at the beginning of the call. Certainly he will call me back. 1 hour later nothing. So call corporate again. This time I get a new guy. I explain the entire situation to him and he proceeds to tell me I should probably just run over there and if I had hit 0 I would have just gotten the operator. Ok I am about to blow my top at this point as he obviously has not listened to a word I said. I recommended that he put me on speaker phone... pick up another line and try that himself. Instead he put me on hold and guess what he did... yep he transferred me to the broken phone system which promptly hung up on me.

    Based on an advertisement by Target Stores on a Television, it sounded like a good deal. I researched the brand and found that WalMart had the same Television for $25 less. My wife had a preference for Target based on using the Target "Red Card" for a discount. We showed the Target employee the WalMart price and asked if they price matched, and his response was yes they did. My wife asked if she also got the discount from the "Red Card", and his response was yes. In checking stock the TV was sold out. We asked if they would check if another store had stock. The associate called the store and put the TV on hold. We also heard the associate explain the price match to the person he was talking to (denied by the other store later).

    So we drove many miles to the store. We expected a quick simple check out. The store refused to do the price match. Beyond the printout I had, I showed the store manager the WalMart website. The store manager approached us with an attitude, the cashier had to call twice to even get the manager to come talk to us. It was obvious we were getting anywhere.

    We walked out of the store furious and actually called Target corporate. We received no help and were lectured about the use of the discount and price matching by the agent on the phone. I pointed out that perhaps all of the lecturing should take place with the people that work at the store since it appeared different stores have different policies. I asked to have someone in management call me. We drove back to the WalMart which was across the street from the original Target store. We purchased the television and were out of the store in few minutes.

    I always find it interesting these companies spend millions of dollars in advertising to get you in the store. They would be better served to spend that on training the people in the stores on policies. The consumer has so many choices in retailers. Target won't be getting my business anytime soon. You might be thinking the anger over this is petty. The attitude these people had would have made you angry. My anger is really based on the principle of this. Really no care in the world they wasted my time. My hope is this will spare some other consumer a few hours and a lot of frustration.

We discovered this after 3 weeks of arguing with Target and talking to HQ who refused to help. At least here locally, the company name is Marketing Resource. I've never heard of them.

    Needless to say, when we finally spoke to someone at Marketing Resource, they were rude and unhelpful and actually accused us of trying to scam them. In the end, our cell phone company apologized for Target (who had entered the info wrong when we purchased it), took the charge off the account and gave us a credit for our phone.

I am very displeased with the entire "only" experience I have had with them. I would think that as big as the company is, they would value their customers more than that.

    I ordered a timelord slipcase online for a Xmas present and when I clicked the order button it said pre-order which I thought meant a copy would be reserved for me when they became available. Not the case. About a week before Xmas I get an email saying they are back ordered and I won't get it till Jan 10. I click to accept and Jan 10 comes around I hear nothing, Jan 11 I get an email stating it was still back ordered and we would receive it by Feb 14. Pretty ridiculous for something that I PRE-ORDERED in early December. Will never shop at Target again.

    I made a purchase online with Target's website and never received a confirmation email. When I called to ask that a confirmation with tracking be sent to me I am informed they have an incorrect email address for me and, they tell me the order information can't be altered once it is placed. I now have no information about my order or when it will arrive. When the package finally arrived (bookshelf with drawers on the bottom) it is so damaged that it can't be assembled. I called customer service to set up a return and I was told to leave the package on the front porch and UPS would pick up the package and bring a shipping label. The associate (a supervisor at this point) tells me that he will personally email me the new tracking information since the email they have on file is incorrect. There was nothing more for me to do other than leave the package outside. Two days later the package is still on my porch.

    I call customer service AGAIN to let them know the package was never picked up. I explain the situation, I am put on hold, and then HUNG UP ON. I then have to call back, and go through the entire process again, wait on hold for another 20 minutes just to repeat my entire story. This time I immediately asked for a supervisor. This is now the fourth time I have tried to call. After the supervisor puts me on hold for another ten minutes, I am transferred to a new department. I am told there is no confirmation number for the pickup and that my replacement has already been shipped. (I thought I was going to get a personal email from the last supervisor with my new tracking for the replacement. I guess that isn't happening either.)

    I am told that they will issue me $15 gift card for my trouble and the associate I am speaking to will personally call me back in a few minutes with the date and time of my package pick up. That was four hours ago and I still have not heard when the package will be picked up. Can anyone from Target explain to me why this has to be so complicated? You process hundreds of returns and exchanges everyday and yet somehow this one is just TOO HARD.

    Horrible service. Several instances but the most recent was this example: I ordered an item through their online ordering system for in-store pickup. When I got there (after the customer service rep made me switch from one line to another AT THE SAME CUSTOMER SERVICE DESK) they seemed confused that there was such a thing as ordering for in-store pickup. She told me that it needed to be paid for but I explained that I had paid for it online. After insisting that was impossible and that I would need to pay for it I asked for the manager. She avoided that request completely and checked into it with another representative. When she came back she (very rudely) insisted that the credit card was not charged until I had checked "accept" on the transaction. As if the difference is enough to argue with a customer over?

    My point was that I didn't need to pay for it there at the counter when I had paid for it (or apparently SET UP payment) online. Topping that off... They had not even set aside the item even though I had received an email confirmation that it had been done. P.S. I used a fake name/address for this review as I did not want my email flooded with advertisements... AGAIN.

    I did use Target on occasion (notice as of now it's past tense) and generally when I do the amount is generally several hundred dollars. Today the amount was equal to that and some. The amount of purchase was 1/20 of the amount in my checking account. Yet Target arbitrarily decided not to honor my check which left me thoroughly embarrassed with many people in line. I will never return. There is always JCPenney or Bed, Bath and Beyond.

I called them right away and after 15 minutes of investigation they told me those cards are used in California but I'm in Virginia. Someone used it in store. Where card is in my hand how come someone else use that card. And I filed a lost/stolen case and after that that representative told me I will get my refund after 72 hours. Called after 72 hours and they told me to wait till 7 business days. And finally called after 7 business days. They are telling me that they can't refund me. Then I asked them "I bought it from your store and when I saw there is no balance I called you right away. What I suppose to do." Then they are telling me to file a police complaint.

    So I asked "if I file a police complaint then are you going to refund me money." They are like "No. We have to work on that later." That's complete bs and it's their responsibility to secure my card. Also when I called 22nd December their representative told me it's happening with them so many times and they do know why.

    My issue all started when I called about target.com and having no longer use of the email I had on my online account. I had current subscriptions still coming thru and wanted to be able to change the email but I was informed I couldn't. I got snippy I will admit only due to the operator stating her opinion on something that had been very upsetting to me. Her lack of empathy really frustrated me. She told me I could cancel everything on the account. It just sounded so overwhelming and a lot of work just due to an email change. So I did hang up instead of saying something I would regret. I then had my husband call just to talk to someone else due to my frustration but eventually I did talk to a nice gentlemen who informed he could just cancel the account on his side. I then was a little upset due spending last 30 minutes canceling all of my orders and subscriptions.

    I didn't know why the first person I talked with couldn't have mentioned that to me in our conversion instead of telling me all about yahoo and their email policies. So the second operator sent me to promo department because I had 3 promo cards that weren't working that he had also assisted me on which I got disconnect at that point. My level of stress was through the roof. I had it I then asked to speak to a manager at that point with the full intention of closing my account. He convinced me to keep my card open. A very nice man. I warned him that I was worried about him transferring me back to the online people. I didn't want any other issues.

    I gave the phone to my husband the person he got demanded to speak to me instead of asking me who I was he started in on the email and the online account issue. I told that operator I didn't want to argue that I got it. I just wanted my online account fixed. Where I think the problem was is the language barrier. I truly feel he was getting close account confused with close online account. Why would I close account with him and not the previous manager! It really upsets me.

    I do love Target and would like this resolved. I feel I was truly wronged in this. To the point he made me cry. How can you have employees like that is what I ask and then defend them! I truly stated I didn't want to ARGUE. In the last conversation I don't understand why he brought something up that was resolved by your manager in my opinion it was only to have the last word. I don't want the last word I just want my account back and to not be told I closed it or ordered my husband too. When I most certainly did not! I feel like Target should want to keep customers but I guess I am wrong and you would think one person doesn't me much but one voice does go far when you have social media!!!

    I've shopped at Target for over a decade and have spent mega $ there over the years. It is a shame that I won't be going back. I tried to order 16 items on Target.com, all bikini tops and bottoms (they are sold separately). Since I need them asap, I tried to click express shipping. The website charges $15 PER ITEM, that is for every single top and every single bottom of each tiny little bikini - totaling a ridiculous $240 for express shipping - almost as much as the order itself.

    When I tried to chat for help to explain that most companies charge ONCE for express shipping and do not nickel and dime their customers, I was told 'sorry try calling customer service' (and was given the incorrect number). I looked up the correct number, and customer service could only blame the 'computer system' after agreeing that I was correct at the absurdity of the situation. He did mention a price adjustment and put me on a brief hold to ask so I KNOW it is possible, but whoever his manager was didn't care enough to do the simple RATIONAL adjustment and keep a long-time customer. A shame really, a lot of my friends shop at Target too and I doubt they will now after hearing about this.

    I have spent my entire morning on the phone and online with Target.com. I wanted to purchase cameras that were on sale at Walmart but out of stock. I first asked at the store and they said they were out of stock and I needed to contact Target online. I did so this morning. It began with speaking with Lori a little before noon. I told her within the first two minutes that they were out of stock at Walmart and that I needed 6 for work. She had me on and off hold for almost an hour. First they said they had to be sure it was exactly the same. They finally had to admit it was. Next they said I had to go to the store. I told them it was out of stock and was placed on hold again for a lengthy period of time to check my information. Of course it was. So I said I am happy to order them online. Again placed on a lengthy hold.

    Lori returned and said I could ordered them at full price and pay then they can do the price adjustment. I agreed and said "Can I receive an email stating that?" Again placed on hold. Upon return, this was the new excuse: they're out of stock online with Walmart and in the Target closest to me so they couldn't give me the price match. At that point I gave up. I then went online again in hopes to solve the issue. I did a live chat with a gentleman named Alexander. I asked to speak with a supervisor but he said he would like to handle the situation so I thought I would give it a try. After getting all the information he apologized and gave me a case number with a 800 number and said to call again and they will be able to place the order. I did just that.

    After waiting to get a customer service representative for over 15 minutes, Alex (female) answered and I gave her the information with the case number, She placed me on hold for another 15 minutes and when she returned she said sorry there is nothing she can do (very rudely I might add). I mentioned the case number and what I was told and took a picture of what Alexander said and again she stated they were not going to give me the price guarantee. I guess Target teaches their employees to just keep making up excuses and or reasons for why they can not back up their claims for price matching until the customer finally gives up. I have never dealt with a situation like this in my life. I even tried contacting the corporate office but of course it was the same as the 800 number. Just had to pay for the long distance call this time. I would rather pay more money somewhere else than give Target my business.

    I placed an order last week on their website. To start off, it's ridiculous that they have no hubs but send each item you order individually from random places and charge you as each items ships, so you end up with several charges instead of one. I had a package (totaling $11.98) stolen and instead of contacting UPS like I requested, the first Target rep said I'd get a full refund for the two items in that box, and quoted the above dollar amount. However, I was refunded only $8.07. After talking to a different rep and a "manager", neither of whom could explain why I was not being refunded the full amount and just kept telling me I didn't pay what I know I paid and didn't grasp that it wasn't supposed to be a refund but a way of them avoiding doing the work of contacting UPS, and who cares if it screwed their customer, I hung up on them and figured out how the money was divided between the orders when I logged onto PayPal.

    I had gotten a "free" beauty box of junk with my purchase of $30 in qualifying items, but it really cost me $10.09 because that is what they prorated it to if people return items that qualify for free stuff. In the end I got $8.07 back for lost items that really will cost more than $11.98 because they are either not on sale anymore if not even available on the site. They need to: inform customers that their purchases will not be refunded fully if they get a "free item", train their reps to understand and explain that this is how their system works, and do their jobs and contact the shipping company to request an investigation instead of trying to cut corners and screw their customers. I realize it's only $3.91 that they owe me but I am absolutely livid at the galling stupidity I encountered and I will never order from them again.

    I have always loved having a Target so close to my home and shop there regularly. In hopes of getting one of the "hot" toys, an NES Classic Edition, this Christmas, I arrived at the store at 3:20am to wait in line until the trucks were unloaded by 6:00am. At 6:00 the six of us, who were waiting, were told there were no NES or Hatchimals and we could go home. The other 5 people, who were waiting, were all reselling both of those toys at greatly increased mark-ups. They were comparing Apps on their phones for locating the toys and would camp out every night.

    Target knows this and to them it's just another sale. It makes it next to impossible for those of us buying for our families to get one of these toys. There must be a better way of handling these products. The fact that these resellers mark the toys up 300% to 400% or more is great incentive for them to camp out every night.

    Target has always professed to support their communities but this makes me reconsider my support of their stores. I'm so disappointed and surprised that a more equitable solution can't be reached.

Evidently they arrived ahead of schedule and I was never notified of that fact (they arrived I found out on 12/12/16) the only notification I received was an email informing me on 12/15 that the order was canceled and the boots were being returned for non pickup. That email came through at 353 am on 1215. I saw it at 13:00 in the afternoon on 12/15 when I checked my email. Call the store in the hope that I could still catch it and they cannot locate the order, they refer me to Target.com.

After being persistent she transferred me, not to a supervisor but back into the system were I got a man named John who did try very hard to help, including calling the store twice to see if he could get them to look because he too did not believe the boots had been sent back that fast, but to no avail. He could not just resend them without hitting my card again and said that the first boots would be refunded within 7-10 bus days. I asked if they could be overnighted to the store he said he would not be allowed to do that.

    So for boots that were $100+ on Target.com they charge you card immediately, tell you a date then get them there way ahead of schedule and fail to notify you, and give you two days to pick up an item that has already been paid for, then they refuse to fix their screw up! It is safe to say that from this one incident Target has just lost about 10 good customers which may not seem like a lot now but when you fail at customer service over and over, which from what I'm reading that is what is happening eventually you will be shutting your doors. We, the customers, are why you have a bus, your Corp should be reading these reviews and be taking them very seriously going and making changes.

    First of all I think stores should not be extending hours or be open on Thanksgiving. With that being said I was totally disgusted and disappointed this morning when I was waiting in line on a Sunday at 8 am for Target on Chouteau Trafficway in Missouri to buy a Hatchimal. I was like the 20th person, my beef is they handed out tickets at 3 am to 10 people. Apparently one of those left to use the restroom. When Target open the doors people with tickets were told they could each have a Hatchimal. The lady that left to use the restroom sometime after she received her ticket was told she couldn't have one because she had left the line. This lady got very upset as well as the Manager of the store, it was awful!!! They were yelling and cursing, terrible, no security anywhere.

    You would think with all the electronics the store could come up with a much better fairer system like have a sign up sheet for those items in demand, go down the list, show id and you may only get one. (Most of these people in line said they had done this multiple times and were selling the Hatchimals on eBay.) So totally unfair to those of us really trying to buy for our children for Xmas. I will not shop at Target again nor will I buy a Hatchimal when available, this isn't what xmas is all about.

    BOYCOTT TARGET!!!! I am pretty pissed this morning. The only thing my grandson asked for Christmas was a Hatchimal. Well we all know the craze this year and how hard it is to get one without being screwed and tattoo'd over something that's probably not worth it anyway. So last night I went to Target around 9:30 pm and specifically asked Customer Service about the shipment coming in this morning. The gentleman told me to be the first in line around 7:00 am and they would start handing out tickets at 8:00 am until they were all gone. I get up at 3:35 am all week and really planned on sleeping in this morning but what good grandma can't try to get the one and only thing her grandson wants for Christmas right? So my daughter and myself bundle up and head to Target to score a Hatchimal. Wrong!!!!

    Being the first one there and others showing up, the Manager opens the door and asks if we were there for the Hatchimals? Well yeah....what other crazy people would be out here in the cold waiting for anything other than an ugly Christmas sweater? So she proceeded to tell us that the night crew handed all the tickets at 4:00 am. To who....family me and friends??? Like really wtf? Corporate will be hearing from this pissed off grandma every day from now until I have 2 of them in my hand along with the $25 off coupon.

    My point being if that's how Moline Target was doing things they should have told me to be here at 4:00 am, not 7:00. Or maybe that it was first come....first served. Not.....we will be giving out tickets to the first in line when the store opens at 8:00 am. Target....I will be fair in allowing you one and only one opportunity to get it right!

    Placed an order for multiple items. Then, I received an email stating one was shipped to store. I called to see if they could cancel ship to store, and have item sent to my home. Even though they had the item in stock online, I was told there was nothing they could do. So, now I have to drive across town, passing over 10 Target stores on the way, to pick up one item. I am so annoyed.

    Additionally, this is the third time in 2 years I have been told by a rep for Target.com that there is nothing they can do. All of them were foreign, most were nonchalant. This last time I asked two different people if I could speak with a manager, and was told there was not a manager on. I guess Target will learn the hard way (like Kmart) how piss poor customer service ends... in unemployment.

Just went to Target today and they DID NOT carry them!!! I was so ** off by this and I also asked one of the Target employees and she said that they still do not have them.

    Original Review: Dec. 9, 2016

    Target needs to be added to the lawsuit filed against Kohl's, Macy's, JCPenney, and Sears for engaging in deceptive advertising by putting out a high "list price" or "regular price" on items that were never actually for sale at that original price. I can't tell you how many times I find items on sale online at Target but in the store the price has been raised higher than the actual cost then put on sale. Example: online regular price of the clear Pyrex pie dish $4.99 with sale price of $3.99. In store price is $6.49 and sale price of $5.19. This happens all the time. Disgusting! When I tell the workers they just say "that's just how it is". I'm not shopping at these places anymore. That's just how it is.

WHAT A WASTE! I called back to get someone new and canceled my order. The customer service rep told me it was canceled and to reorder using my code which I did. FYI- the code worked fine! Then a few days later I get an email the canceled order has been shipped! Now I have 2 of the same items both of which were very expensive!

    I ordered Playstation VR headset. Was told on their website that the item was in stock at local store for pickup. I paid for the item online for it to be held at the store. They put a pre authorization on my card. Next morning checked my email and they had sent me an email stating that it was no longer available at that store and that I need to change my store. Well there were no stores within 100 miles with the item in stock and they were out of stock online.

    Called and was told they would be getting more in and to just wait. They did not get more in stock and I cancelled my order only to find that they had put not one but TWO preauthorizations on my credit card for over $400. Called and they offered no help and said that they would fall off in 7-10 business days. Unfortunately I had made another order with this as well. This one with my check card for around $235. I got an email 4 days after ordering that my order was going to be delayed.

    Mind you that when I ordered all 4 items they all said "in stock, ready to ship". I gave them the benefit of the doubt and they changed my delivery date window from Dec 7 - Dec 10 to Dec 9 - 12. Then I got another email tonight stating again that my delivery was going to be delayed. My items have not shipped at all and the order status does not provide me with any info as to when it might ship. They have now changed the delivery date window to Dec 13 - Dec 15. How can an item be in stock and ready to ship and have this many delays??? I was very upset and called to cancel my order only to be told that they will not and can not cancel my order. They are describing content on their website to be available when it is not. Is this not fraudulent??? They have a serious issue with the inventory system or either they are knowingly selling items to people and listing them as available when they know good and well they don't have the items.

    So, I went on Amazon and ordered the items because I need to know I am actually going to get them since they are Santa presents for my son. ALSO, I have to do Christmas with this on the 19th and 20th since I will be out of the country for work during actual Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. It was very important to me to order the items and trust that they would be here when they said they were going to be or at least be shipped out on time. The items have not shipped and I was not given the option to cancel. So know I am out on my check card the $235 and have that same amount on my credit card too since I had to order again.

    Their customer service center is TERRIBLE!! Every time I call I can't even understand what they are saying. They are not even in America. There is zero sympathy on their end for the terrible trouble they are putting me through and all the money they have been holding on my cards. They are the worst customer service agents I have ever encountered. Target should be held accountable for constantly listing their items as in stock only to find that they are not. Or they just tell you they are and for some reason keep getting hold ups on actually shipping them out and then refusing to cancel. Terrible business practices. I'd be mortified to even say I worked for them. I will never ever ever order from Target.com ever again. They are doing fraudulent advertising of their stock. They should either invest in some seriously better inventory system or they should be sued for their dishonesty of their advertising.

You can barely understand them, they get confused, and they can do nothing for you. These people don't have the same privileges as a CS rep in America, who could track down your package, see what's wrong, or reorder for you. They can only tell you endless excuses as to why your order from the 25th hasn't even shipped yet. And apparently no one has told them that Target now ships from stores instead of just warehouses.

The customer service representative saw right away that the item had not shipped and offered to send a replacement. Since the customer service representative could find the information about the incomplete shipment so readily, why did I have to call?

    Do not order online. So here is my honest experience. In November, I found out I was having major surgery on my kidneys. That surgery had to be done in December. Not knowing how long I would be out of commission and my anxiety kicking in, I decided to shop and get ready for Xmas a bit early. I have 3 boys, husband and a dog. (Also two large sides of the family to shop for.) I work full time. So needless to say I was hoping for a smooth shopping experience. I received nothing but the very opposite. I placed four orders. Total of 87 items and spent $849.03. Keep in mind this was gift wrap items, stocking stuffers and decorations. Many of the items that were shipped in separate boxes so keeping track of what I received was an absolute nightmare. Around 20 boxes came in at different times. This didn’t seem practical and what a waste of cardboard and packing materials.

    Also things were packed strangely. I received a large box with 1 bar of specialty soap. Then I received ten items in a box with a xmas wreath shoved in. This was along with heavy items. The wreath had red faux berries that were crushed. I received one box of 1-Coppertone sunscreen that looked used (which I never ordered - wrong Season). This box had the packing slip for Neutrogena body wash -3 pack which I had order but never received??? What??? I purchased small decorative xmas trees that were squashed by items and could not be fixed. I still haven’t received several items.

    Calling customer service is a nightmare and no one seems to speak English very well which makes it very difficult. I returned 2 items. The first person said they never received my return. I of course was then transferred when I began to question that. The next person told me my return was received but my return was never processed and I never had my credit. That was about a month ago. Very shady!!! I will never order from them again online.

If however you decide to return the item in store you MAY have the option of cash or giftcard as refund.

    So disappointed in Target! After seeing that the Mesa West (Arizona) store had an iPod shuffle in stock (via target.com), I drove to the store to purchase it as a Christmas gift. The price in store was $49.99, but the target.com price was $39.99. One store employee said that I could take the iPod to Customer Service and they would charge me $39.99. A second store employee stated that they were not price matching, even with their own target.com price. Really??? I can understand not price matching another store, but when it is available for order online with in-store pick-up, why not price match? I asked the store employee if I needed to go home, click the order button, and then come all the way back to the store for pickup. He said yes. Really? This policy makes zero business sense. So I placed the order online and continued shopping.

    After purchasing my other items, I went to Customer Service to get my online order. Since the order had not filled yet, the manager said that she could not override it and process the order. Unbelievable!!! I asked if I could walk back to electronics and pick it up for them since store employees were seemingly much too busy. She said that she could cancel the order and I could bring the iPod shuffle to Customer Service...but then I would have to pay $49.99. Are you kidding??? Unbelievable and extraordinarily poor business practices! Needless to say, I canceled my order completely. Target clearly does not want my business.

    I ordered the Samsung 55" curved 4K UHD Smart TV that everyone had on sale this Black Friday, but since I have so many of these new Target gift cards that they've been handing out like candy, I figured I'd use them for once to save some money on top of the deal. Well after trying to order the TV several times on the website at 2am on Black Friday (I was too tired to drive 30 mi. to the store, big mistake), I had observed that it randomly appeared available for online purchase and unavailable, as well as in-store only. That was the first warning sign I ignored.

    Next, when I caught it in between checkout attempts when it appeared as available for online purchase, it started disregarding the gift cards that I was entering. It showed that the gift card had been entered, but the amount of the purchase was unaffected by them. Warning sign number 2. Finally, I started all over again and it was 3am by this point. The TV appeared available for purchase online, and the gift cards showed their dollar amounts and the transaction looked like it went through. Ha! As soon as I get to the next confirmation page it shows the total without any gift cards applied to the price, but lists them all as being used in the transaction. So I've got a 697$ sale price with 55$ of taxes, and 115$ of gift cards that are now unusable because they've been registered to the transaction.

    I spent over an hour on the phone with Target customer service at 5pm on Black Friday and they came back with every ** ridiculous excuse. Rep: "Your sale price is correct; 697$." Me: "I used 115$ of gift cards that weren't applied to the total." Rep: "Ah, my level 2 support has determined the issue. Your sale price is not the final price. With taxes it will be another 55$ which is why you paid 754$." Me: "No. I paid 697$ plus 55$ taxes, which is about $754. But I used 115$ of gift cards. The price should be 638$ charged to my card because of the gift cards." Rep: "Ok sir, my boss says that based on your method of payment, your card will only be charged for the 754$. You will eventually receive the 70$ promotional gift card in the mail." Me: "I'm not questioning the new gift card. I am asking why the current gift cards I already possess and applied to this purchase weren't actually applied to my final price after completing the order."

    This went on forever. I finally helped him understand and got him to send an email to me immediately after our call confirming the total and the amount of gift cards and what would be charged to my card. I was annoyed but pleased with the result. Woke up today (2 days later) and received an email that my TV item on my order has been cancelled and they're only sending me the 70$ promotional gift card that came with it; just not the TV itself. So at this point, I'm down 1 Black Friday purchase (that I could've gone anywhere else and purchased in store or online on Black Friday) and I've currently lost those 115$ worth of gift cards that were associated with this transaction that will undoubtedly be impossible to get back from Target.

    Overall, I lost about 3 hours of frustration and wasted time and 115$ of gift cards (unless that 70$ promotional gift card actually arrives; then I guess it'll just be 45$ loss). Any loss, whatsoever, is considered theft unless the responsible party returns the payment in full. I am a professional software systems architect and build large e-commerce systems like this for a ton of major companies like Target. This is not a coincidence. I would advise an investigation into their actual order invoice processing platform and the review the code base. It seems pretty consistent that orders purchased with gift cards are automatically rejected and thrown into a separate queue for further handling/processing.

    Target has gone quite mad with their "gift cards for everything!" sales incentives in the past year or so. There cannot be any way to legitimately discount all products so dramatically with those bonus gift cards on most high price purchases (over 50$ average). The observed behavior of the website and the various reviews I've been reading lately from people related to the gift card issues and store credit gift cards seems quite suspicious and could very easily be classified as a preventative measure to block the actual usage of these gift cards.

    If you look at this from a different angle you can easily see that they are giving out unnecessary gift cards in order to lock you into purchasing from their store, rather than going to Best Buy or Walmart. That's the "bait" if you would like to deem it as such. Once you've made the purchase, however; you later realize the gift card is either unusable or your online purchase is either rejected or cancelled after the fact, and the gift card you used in your purchase either becomes lost in the target.com "customer service ether" or an endless game of calls and deferrals ensues. Seems like a pretty good way for a retailer to not only make a sale, but also not lose the additional money in gift cards that they attached to the deal in order to make the sale in the first place. I hope someone found this technical observation useful. Moral of the story: Do your Black Friday shopping in store and never use your Target gift cards online.

    So basically I go to Target electronics and ask for a shower speaker. That way I can listen to music on the shower. The Target employee say named Bob ** recommends a speaker saying it’s waterproof. He does not mention it only takes Wi-fi not Bluetooth. So I spend 200 dollars only to find it won't even work in my home. You can forget about the shower already as it's not waterproof. I go back to return it stupidly without a receipt about a month later having gone out of town. 38 days later without a receipt does not match Target’s return policy. In my opinion strict return policies make a company look bad. It indicates that it happens a lot that people come back wanting to return items. So I tell the lady I was misinformed about the item and she calls her manager. The manager doesn't even pretend to care. She just whisks me away saying I don’t meet return policies. Yeesh Target.

    I purchased a 40in TV 11/16/2015 the person at the checkout suggested getting the extended coverage. Less than a year later I went to turn on the tv and it doesn't work. It has lines going in all directions. After following the process of going through Magnavox and then going through the people at the TARGET protection plan they feel that something hit the screen and therefore they won't cover it. There is not on mark on the front of this TV, so just by some picture I sent them with the TV on they determined that something was damaged behind the screen. I feel like the cashiers need to tell people more of what is covered and not covered. It seems they are all directed to upsell this product and hope no one needs to file a claim. It seems like such a good idea at the time until you really need it. I will not ever purchase another thing from TARGET unless this get resolved.

    While shopping at Target I asked an employee to point me in the direction of seasonal. I was very rudely told by a front end supervisor that it's not her job to do that. Her name was Jessica and she is the reason I'll never shop at Target again. This is not the first time she's been extremely rude while I've been shopping at this store. I left without purchasing anything.

    I walked into the Target in my area to buy an auxiliary cord 11/11/2016. I notice a nice pair of shoes on my way to Electronics, try them on and bring them with me to buy the Aux. cord. I walk around trying to find a cord and after a couple of minutes of confusion find an associate to help me locate one. The nice associate helps me find a cord and I proceed to pay and leave. As I'm leaving two men walk up to me and ask to see my receipt. I show it to them then ask why I was stopped. They don't answer and have their lead come to speak to me. The lead also doesn't have an answer for me but also asks me to see my receipt which clearly states I bought some shoes and an Aux. cord.

    The lead then points to my shoes that I came in with and asks to see them. So now I'm standing at the exit removing my shoes to prove I did not steal them. So here are my issues. I am a 5'7 not very big woman surrounded by tall intimidating men who are not being particularly courteous and are somewhat intimidating. I've come to this store for 10 years and done the same thing I did in this date and am confused about what I did to warrant being stopped and asked to take off my shoes.

    I genuinely feel as though I was profiled be it gender (I am a woman), socioeconomic (no effort was put into my appearance today), race (I am ** and so visibly **). Less so about the initial stop and more about the disrespectful and unapologetic way this situation was handled. Staff need to be better trained in courteously dealing with customers while in sensitive situations. My experience was not only upsetting and intimidating but also disheartening. I'll be taking a break from shopping at Target and won't be shy about sharing my experience with friends and family and clearly strangers. Disgusted.

    I checked online for stock and it said it was there. I also called to confirm however the phone lines were apparently down although when I called the optic extension they picked up. They denied to transfer the call. I drove all the way out to the Target where it said they had the item and when I arrived there it was not there. I think that is unacceptable. If you cannot manage correct inventory info online do not offer that function. If that is incorrect always have a form of communication between you and the store. A complete waste of time.

    I purchased a bike at Target and paid it off. I was happy because Target raised my credit limit to $500. I personally went to the Culver City Target and paid my entire balance of $75.00 only to receive a few days later a letter that stated that I was late on my payments and owed $75.00 and a $25.00 late fee. I called and reached someone in some foreign country that I could not understand, therefore I cut up my card and threw it in the trash. They can wait a long time for money that I already paid.

    On Oct. 14th 2016 I went into the Target store that I always shop in and made a payment on my redcard with a check. After I had handed the associate the check, inserted my card into the VeriFone and she had checked my ID she attempted to put the payment through on the register. She could not, apparently the register froze. She had absolutely no idea what to do. She had a side conversation about this with her coworker and completely ignored me. I was waiting for my payment receipt so I finally asked if I should wait, or had the payment gone through and would it be posted to my account. She assured me it had and that it would not be a problem. The first lie.

    On the 18th of October I received an email from Target that my account was overdue. I first called my bank to check if the check had been cashed (it had not yet) and then called Red Card services. The attitude of the person I spoke with was basically, "We have no proof you were in the store and made a payment. Cancel payment on the check and write a new one. We would have to set up an investigation and check ON CAMERA TO SEE IF YOU WERE ACTUALLY IN THE STORE." Wow. I have never been late, I pay every month, you have lost my check and I am spoken to like I am lying. Where is the accountability?

    OK I called client services to file a complaint. You basically tell your story over and over to different people who use scripted comments to appease you and tell you they will set up an investigation. They actually do nothing and you can call as many times as you like but they will do nothing but give you scripted answers and note the information if they are responsible for that area of the complaint. I did not stop payment and I made another payment to keep my account current. I knew the check would eventually show up and that I would not be held accountable if the check was fraudulently cashed.

    The original check was cashed by Target today, 3 weeks later. The credit has not yet been put on my account because they DO NOT KNOW WHERE IT IS. I had to conference call them with my bank to prove the check was in fact deposited by Target on the 14th of October as I had originally told them. They do not know where the money is and it was NOT posted to my account. The two things that I was told that were unbelievable were, "This happens a lot, could have been punched incorrectly. We have to account for human error" and "It was probably CREDITED TO SOMEONE ELSE'S ACCOUNT, but we don't know." They are now doing another investigation to find out where it is.

    There is not a single person in that entire company who did anything other than give me scripted replies and generally BS me until I got tired of talking. I even attempted to try to speak to the store manager. Forget it. On the phone or in the store I was rudely told he was not available ("why do you want to speak to a store manager", "are you a vendor or something?") or given the wrong information as to when he would be. When I left info for a call back (he was in a meeting) I never got one. After several attempts I just stopped. Corporate is the same sort of joke.

    The only thing that was offered to me and this is because I asked, ("What do you do for customers that you have put through this because of your incompetence?") was a $20 gift card. I started to laugh. The man who assisted me asked, " Is something funny?" I do not even have the words for the real lack of anything remotely seeming like customer service in that unfortunate company. Once the mystery of where my money has gone has been solved I will close my account and never shop in Target again. Meanwhile I would like to know if I have any recourse through any consumer agency regarding how my check (my money) was mishandled and has yet to be accounted for. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Target won't take back any clothes that are worn. I'd at least think that they'd take numerous times of wearing and washing them before they look old crappy. I'd rather pay more and get a quality product. I will not buy from them again.

    I have pretty much stopped buying at Target due to all of the issues I have with purchases, exchanges, or returns, but my adult son found a costume he needed for a Halloween party at Target Online so I ordered it for him. I ordered it on Monday, Oct. 24 and paid for express shipping so it would be here by Wednesday, Oct. 26th because he needs it for Saturday, Oct. 29th. On Wednesday, the day I was suppose to receive it, I got an email informing me that my shipment has been delayed and the new estimated delivery date is Monday, Oct. 31st. Obviously, that is past the time needed and defeats the purpose of paying for express shipping.

    When we called to cancel the order, we were told that we could not cancel AND would have to return the item to the store and then call customer service to get the shipping refunded. This completely defeats the purpose of ordering online and is causing me more time. The customer service rep did not even know that I had received an email regarding the new shipment date, and was not helpful. I am absolutely furious and plan to share how ridiculous this is with everyone I can.

They offered a gift card instead of refunding my money back. Unbelievable that I am the one that had to inquire, they never contacted me to let me know they didn't have them. And they charged me for them, leading me to believe they were on the way, never indicating they were low on stock. With Target you may or may not receive your order and what's worse is sometimes it's a partial order AND you will not be refunded the way you paid, so you are forced to spend your money there.

    I purchase a lot of things from Target, in store and online. It was not until I started taking advantage of deals online with them that I noticed a problem happening far too often. They would cancel an order for no reason but only on items that were a good deal when you bought it and have changed back to full price. Then they will not give you the discount you had previously purchased them with. It is rare for any items you paid full price for to be cancelled. Not cool Target, not cool.

    I am extremely disappointed in Target. I have shopped in store a number of times and had no problems. This time, however, I selected items for a gift that were not in store. Target.com helpfully offered the option of shipping to my address or shipping to store for free. I selected ship to store, which was my first mistake. By the time I completed my order, the only item that was in store was no longer in stock. I was not offered the option to ship this item just like the others, it was simply cancelled. Then, the ~5 items I had ordered started arriving at Target one at a time. I could not access my order online for some reason, so I called customer service. They said I had three days to pick up from the time the order arrived. "When the whole order arrives, right?" I asked. NO. EVERY ITEM HAS THREE DAYS HOLD, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOUR WHOLE ORDER IS THERE.

    This would mean that in order to avoid cancellations on my order, I would have to ask my mother (I ordered the items for the Target closest to my mom, in hopes of them arriving in time for her to carry my gift to a baby shower for my sister in law) to drive 30 minutes one way to Target multiple times. The customer service representative said "so sorry, I can't" to almost everything I asked, from looking up estimated arrival dates, to extending the pick up time, to bundling the order together so I could pick it all up at once.

    He seemed quite unempowered to do anything to change or modify a customer's order - and I don't blame this on the individual representative at all. I consider the fault to be Target's structure if your customer service can't help people. Needless to say, I will not be using this so called service again. It has made purchasing this gift very difficult and stressful, and it is now a week past the baby shower the items were meant for, and still no gift.

As I was reviewing my bank account, I noticed that my account had many transactions from Target as a debit purchase but I knew I had only made one order. I called the customer service number and questioned why my account was debited for each of the gift cards, I thought they were a part of the special promotion gift to me. The REP HUNG UP on me when I questioned this. I called back and spoke to a supervisor who said "when you order via Target.com they discount the merchandise the gift card amount and then charge it back to you."

    Well I'm not happy they don't tell you that, it is very confusing to see if you are charged correctly and if you somehow only have enough money in your account to cover what YOU KNOW YOU SPENT, this could have EASILY TURNED into an OVERDRAFT NIGHTMARE. So I will not be utilizing the website to order anything with that promotion. It sounds sketchy. Customers should be told how this transaction really works. I'm confused did I save or not? Did I earn a gift card really or did I pay for it? The supervisor who took my call when I called back was polite and patient and when I said I wasn't going to go.com anymore, he did ask to give them another chance. Target you need to tell your customers how that gift card stuff works because that is NOT how it works when you purchase in the store. My bank statement has all these transactions from one order and it is very confusing.

Then rebuy it (at a higher price) only to be on the phone for rest of the day convincing them to give me my original discount like they promised that morning on the phone. Even though I had the case # they couldn't confirm that is actually what they said and refused. They automatically assume customers are the bad guys and NEVER apologize. Finally got it sorted out and shipped at my original price only to have it wrong again. This time I called and they were even worse than before. How hard is it to be nice?

    I had order four chairs from the Target Online on June 11, 2016. I received my confirmation of the order and then the next day, for some reason they had cancelled three of the four chairs that I had ordered. When contacted, the representative had told me that the purchaser had cancelled them. I know for a fact that I did not, but instead of making a big deal about it, I just re-ordered the three. Well, my one chair did come in, however, the other three ended up being back ordered. I received another email later notifying me that they were still back ordered a month later. So, getting frustrated, I contacted them again and asked, "Where are the chairs?" They responded with, "the order got missed and were never shipped". They are available, etc. However, they could not ship them because their system would not let them. But they would "look into it" and set up a work order to address this, and have it "expedited".

    Well, a few weeks later, still nothing and I finally called again, this time I just wanted to cancel the order and get my refund. They responded that they can't do that because a work order is already in place, which they can't do anything until it is fully processed. But they would submit another work order to have my order refunded and they would have it "expedited". So here I am October 8, 2016, almost four months later and three chairs short. I have heard many excused to "computers are down", "my supervisor is not here", "I am the only supervisor here and I cannot refund your money", "a work order is already submitted". Very dissatisfied with the experience and it is one giant goat rope. I have talked to quite a few Target representatives and I am just beyond frustrated.

    I bought a Snuza Hero from Target online back in March. I used this exactly as it says in the instruction manual. It caused an injury to my 5 month old baby. An injury so severe that it looks like she will have a permanent scar. I took her to the Dr. and he said it is from friction. I have contacted the company that made it and all they say is to put another layer between it and my baby's' skin. I would never consider ever using this product again and allowing it to cause another injury to my baby.

    When I contacted Target they were so very rude and unhelpful. Initially I was told that since I still have all my emails and receipts from my purchase I could take it into the store to return it. I called the online support # and they called my local store in Lakewood, WA. But when I took it to the store, they refused. The manager refused to even come and talk to me. They were so rude to me that I was shaking when I exited the store. After many more phone calls I was told that they would do nothing. So Target sells an unsafe product that causes an injury to a baby and refuses to return it. They say that because it is over 90 days my purchase no longer shows up in their computer system.

    Customer service, the worst in my entire life. Disrespectful to seniors and disabled person as myself, taking wrong email down and sending invoice to wrong person. Rude, nasty. They try and make up with discount gift cards, but the attitude and training in their Tempe, Arizona location is abusive. I ordered a Cuisinart Convection toaster oven on Aug 12, 2016 from our baby registry, was given discount cards for the registry. I could not do online order so called to order it, the model had steam for $299. They took the wrong email address, and sent invoice and coupon to wrong person. When it finally arrived after many arguments with supervisors and asking for a manager, they say wait 24 hours, and the rudest people I ever experienced, did not care about my business, feeling they gave me a discount was enough and they did not have to correct the problems of the email and wrong shipping method.

    Finally UPS delivers and the box invoice says it was my model oven, but inside the box was a rotisserie model, worth $100 less than I paid. Calling over and over, get no help and nasty supervisors. I say I want to maybe let my wife try this model, Supervisor says no, have to either send it back or bring to store. I say ok, send call tag and have it picked up. Ask for his name and ID, then ask to have an email confirming the UPS pickup. I get no email so I call back and the supervisor I get says the last supervisor wrote I did not cooperate and did not want to do anything so she had to request a pickup for me. Horrible people working there not trained to respect customers.

    However after package was picked up I asked again where is my refund. The supervisor said I have to wait for it to arrive, Wanted pictures of the wrong item from box and the receipt from UPS with tracking number. I sent that in and again said why can't I get my refund. She says 7-9 business days. I protest that, ask for another manager. On hold again and she says "ok I will submit refund, 3-5 business days." What kind of company is this? Who trains these supervisors and managers and why can't they get the order with my email correct. They keep sending my invoice to the wrong email. Finally a few days later someone calls and offers me a e-card gift and corrects the wrong email and apologizes for the abusive treatment I received.

    Shipping was UPS but passed on to USPS SurePost, but they came UPS for the first part of order and the small item was in my mailbox. I suffered with this company, most of the supervisors were not helpful and outright rude and lying about my complaints. Would not take responsibility for the mistaken email the order taker took or the wrong item sent or fixing the problem took way too long. Getting a manager that was defensive and only offered discounts was not really helpful.

    Overall I do not feel safe shopping at Target because of their policies and how management staff treats problems that their staff make. How can I trust buying from them when all they do is lie about the process and I see that the convection oven on the registry was marked out of stock and no date for getting it back in stock? Sad how this company operates. They did finally get someone that listened to call me and apologize and fix the wrong emails and send me the invoice and correct the e-cards. We now have these e-cards and do need to buy some items, and could use these for the purchases and will have to give them another try since we will have these e-cards to use.
