It was back in October 2017 that I placed an order for coffee, coffee cups and coffee creamer to donate to a veterans' museum. The order taker could barely speak English and I ended up spelling words for her. In hindsight, I should have hung up the phone. After much frustration, the order was placed. She did not send me an email receipt with a tracking number. I called Target-- they had no record at all of my placing the order. I contacted MasterCard and started a claim. After two months, the MasterCard claim department provided a tracking number. The information MasterCard had about the purchase was so wrong-- these products were not delivered to my home, they were delivered to the museum. My warning is TARGET HAS SOME INCOMPETENT PEOPLE HANDLING THEIR ONLINE ORDERS. What should have been an easy transaction resulted in much time on my part to make sure the coffee products were actually received.

Last night I was trying to purchase a T-Mobile refill card ($75). I kept getting the same error message. At first I tried on the stock internet on my android. Then I downloaded the app on the android. No luck. I tried to call the Customer’s service number, but they were closed. I thought that there was a glitch in the system, so I figured that I would wait to get to work to see if it would work on a desktop. I tried to do it on the desktop but no luck. I sent out a chat to a rep that was in the chat. Unfortunately, the rep couldn’t assist me so he told me to call the Customer service number. The number that was given was for registry and they transferred me over to cs. I spoke to the rep in cs. I provided him with all my info, so he could access my account. Then he asked for the payment method that I would like to use.
I informed him that I would like to use the card on file. He asked if it was a debit or credit. I informed him it was a debit. He then stated that they only take credit. I informed him that I used the same card to make previous purchases on the account and this was the first time I ever had this error. When he tried to make the order, he received the same message. He then informed me that I would have to use a credit card to make the purchase. I ended up just going to the T-Mobile website and paying the extra $7 for taxes.

Target is a rip off. Rarely do they have sale items. I traveled quite a distance to stock up and they didn't have one thing I needed. Also, there were signs all over the store that you get a & 10 gift card for buying a substantial amount of Coke products. I bought it and the sales clerk told me I had to call for it. I have called, emailed and texted. Everyone tells me I need something different. They absolutely will not give me that gift card.

We did not receive our Christmas gifts (by Christmas) as promised. This was false advertising to get more customers. I will never shop with Target again. They will also charge your account twice (during initial purchase, then again once items ship) and you'll have to wait days until funds are no longer pending. I've NEVER experienced that before and I shop a lot online. Thanks for ruining our Christmas Target!

On Dec 26th I ordered 3 items on one order for pickup at my local store the next day. All items appeared as if they were available and I made sure to click the button for in store pickup. I get an email that the order is received and about 2 hours later that it is ready for pickup. I go to the store the next day and one of three items is there. I ask, "Where are the other two"- they have no clue. We check the order and for some reason Target decided to ship 2 of the 3 items to my home. They had the items in stock so I just paid again and was told I could return the extra items once they arrived.
Target predicted Jan 3 delivery. I received the missing items the next day (Dec 28th). I then took them back to Target as instructed. They were able to return one item but the other they could not for some reason. They then just credited the amount on my credit card. I then got an email yesterday (Dec 30) that my item is getting ready to ship. They already shipped it!? Neither the store or the online order system is reliable and has some serious bugs. I recommend another retailer until they fix these massive IT issues.

Like most people, I live paycheck to paycheck (every two weeks), & I don't get paid until next week (as usual). However, since I recently paid off my credit card, I went to "Target" when my younger sister invited me last night. I chose a gift for her & ma (who was also with us), but when I tried to pay, the device wouldn't read the chip on my credit card & when I tried to swipe the card the device would say to use the chip.
The cashier was no help & just told me the card had been declined. My sister had to pay for everything (it was over $100) & I had to go to the bank to withdraw funds from my savings account to pay her back. Besides the embarrassment of having my younger sister pay for her gift, she was also going to go to a play that evening so I'm sure she was late because of the detour to the bank.
I am a grown man so I know I'm not Target's preferred demographic. & I dislike all these stores (no wonder online shopping is taking off). I do like Target because it's less crowded & more organized, but I won't go back there for as long as I can help it. I'll go to Walmart even. Despite Walmart being owned by the billionaire Waltons (who I hate giving more money to) & having to deal with the "people of Walmart" when I go there, unlike Target, at least Walmart has never had a problem taking my money be it cash, debit, or credit.

I had bought a TCL Roku TV on sale for $249. I left it in box in guest room for a yr. (I should have thought to check it and didn't... lesson learned) so I get it out of box. Put on wall. Plug in and the pixel picture is all jumbled. Took it in hoping for an exchange or a big discount since I would most likely have to eat the cost. No exchange... Ok that's fine. Can you give me an additional $20 off of a new one since I have to eat this? It was on sale but I felt like I deserved a little more of a discount since I had gotten crap quality. Nope... NOTHIN. Wouldn't budge. And it was a manager Justine. She could have easily gone to a higher up to ask... and didn't. I made the sales guy take a new one out I was going to buy plug it in. Ohh guess what... pixels already going bad on it!
Boxed it back up... and put it back! Oh and he proceeds to tell me they had other TV's that came in with bad pixels on the one I had originally bought... Hmmm hence the reason they had probably been on sale? So in other words don't buy tvs from Target. Funny I've had situations through the yrs of not so great electronics before and a few other products. A futon that had broken in a week from Walmart. No receipts. Boom. Exchanged it. Stereo from Meijer didn't work. No receipt. Boom. Exchange. And also Meijer before I have bought a piece of merchandise. No receipt and they gave me a really good deal to make it right without receipt!!! Target needs some good customer service training! They couldn't spare $20 when they are selling crap TV's and they KNOW they are selling crap TV's??? Really???

I went to return a sweater that was given to me at Christmas that was too big. They did not have the smaller size sweater so I scanned it to see what it would come up. It came up as the same price as the tag said 29.99. I found something similar to what I had received and it was also 29.99. I went to make the exchange and they wouldn't give it to me since I didn't have a receipt. They would only give me the lowest price it came to within 90 days, which was $20. I am so disgusted with their return policy. If you are selling something at that time for the same price I should be able to get something comparable.

So if you are just driving by and decide to get a throw rug or maybe a nifty new end stand at your local Target, then the experience is tolerable. As long as you know what you're getting, expect cheaply made IKEA comparable products. Here has been my expo Erie center in the last two weeks. First my girlfriend bought a 200$ set of pots and pans. Within a week the non stick was peeling off. While this was happening she ordered me a gift for Christmas about two weeks prior to Christmas. The delivery date was supposed to be a week later. It never came.
Two weeks went by with us contacting target and trying to track down this item and getting a laundry list of different reasons why it was getting pushed back. After it was all said and done they canceled our order, and offered us 5% discount at Target. The worst part is we had several opportunities to buy this item cheaper for holiday sales. So all in all it is going to cost us 20-30$ more in the long run. Target is garbage. Don’t waste your money.

I ordered a Christmas gift on December 18th and it was guaranteed to be here before Christmas Eve. On December 22 I noticed the tracking label didn’t have any activity and I contacted Target. Target advised me that the package was “lost in transit” and wasn’t going to notify me! They sent a replacement out and I got the package today and it was busted and the lava lamp fluid was coming out and the box was wet. I contacted Target again and they acted like they didn’t care! All I was told was my money had been refunded! My Christmas package was late and damaged!!! My family usually shops at Target at least three times a week but I promise I will not step foot back in their stores! They do not care about what the customer is going through!

My wife and I ordered the Barbie Dream House for our 5 year old daughter, which was supposed to be her only present from Santa on Christmas. The order was supposed to be delivered to us on 12/21/17. On the morning of 12/21 my wife received an email from Target saying that, "Your order has been delayed (see attached)." After logging into Target.com we saw the new delivery date was 12/26, the day after Christmas. So my Wife called and drove all over our county trying to find a Barbie Dream House but everywhere was sold out. We came up with a plan to write our daughter a note from Santa on Christmas morning and the reasons why the Barbie Dream House will not be delivered by Santa on Christmas. Our daughter was very upset, but fine to be getting it the next day.
The next morning came and my Wife wakes up, opens her email and sees that Target sent an email at 1:30am and has now “canceled the order” and the Barbie Dream House won't be coming at all now. As the parents of a 5 year old who believes in Santa, there are only so many believable stories we can tell her on why Santa has once again will not be following through. If you can remember when you were a young child, Santa coming was about as magical as it gets!
Yesterday I contacted the Customer Service Department only to get an offer for a $30 gift card and no explanation on why this has happened. A $30 gift card just doesn't suffice for ruining my daughter's Christmas and the magic of thinking that Santa has come to your home and given you the one thing you asked for.I'm writing this to you, the executives at Target, to see how this happened and what are you going to do to make sure this doesn't happen again. We've been loyal Target customers for years and feel extremely unconfident that any order we place in the future for a time sensitive event will arrive on time. Please help us understand.

On November 20, 2017, I purchased a 10-piece set of Calphalon cookware as a Christmas gift for my daughter. I did not open or examine the set because it was in the box and the top pieces were wrapped and I thought the purchase was new; however, I was excited to give the gift on Christmas, which I did. When my daughter unwrapped the gift and unpacked the pots and pans on 12/26/17, she was disgusted and disappointed to find that the set was used. Most of the pots were scratched on the interior; and one (the stockpot) had dried food on the pot interior as well as the exterior. This is a health hazard! Also, several of the glass lids showed evidence of use by exhibiting water spots.
It is obvious that someone had returned the set after using; and the Target Store (located on Clinton Highway in Powell, TN) apparently didn't inspect the return and placed the cookware back into stock and placed on the shelf for resale. Not only is this experience so very disappointing; but it ruined my Christmas surprise for my daughter. I did exchange the product yesterday on 12/26/17; and was allowed to make an even exchange; however, my confidence in this store is totally eroded. I am shocked at the lack of attention to inspecting returns and placing back into inventory. It is inexcusable! I am writing this review to alert other consumers to this very disturbing experience. I will probably never shop at Target again.

Their website says when you do a search that they have that in stock, lo and behold when you get there they do not... and when they show Lever 2000 soap they do a bait-and-switch.

I ordered 2 coffee mugs online on December 11, 2017. The mugs were received broken due to poor packaging on December 15. I called the Target help number within minutes of the delivery. I was assured new mugs were being sent in time for Christmas and would be packaged properly. On December 24 I followed up and was told they had no record of the issue and no mugs had been resent. They said they were sorry and offered a $10 Target gift card. I told them to keep the gift. It won't come anywhere close to offsetting the inconvenience to me of now having go out and find another gift last minute on December 24. Add to that I will go through a return line to get this credited. An absolutely horrible experience and they should be ashamed of such poor customer service.

I had a very bad experience with the Target on Atlantic Mall in Brooklyn on 12/20/2017 with an Asian Manager (I believe his name was Leo). I went shopping for a few gifts and found one item (the last one) that was priced at $29.99. I knew my nephew would love it so I picked it up along with several other items. When I got to the register the item rang up $80.00. I explained that the item was being advertised upstairs for $29.99 and the person behind the register said it would be no problem and she would get a manager to adjust the price since that's what the item was selling for.
When this particular manager came however he spoke to me in a very demeaning way and was very insulting. As if I had no right to question why it was advertised different from actual price. The only reason I was so adamant about it was because I took a picture of the item and the price tag it was being sold as and sent it to my god daughter's mother promising to get the item (since I thought it was such a good price). So I felt stuck. This manager then called a higher manager -- who I believe his name was Leo--he was a An Asian boy. He was the very very rude person. He stated that the store was "had a lot going on" and everything is not organized. However that is not the customer's fault. Not to mention there were tons and tons of worker up there putting everything in its rightful place.
I was so heartbroken. However I was willing to leave it at that but as I was walking away he stated to his colleague "If you can't afford the real price you should shop at Salvation Army - I don't get people like that"--Not that term "people like that" is what made me leave the $326.08 worth of other items I had waiting at the register which I left since I was so infuriated. I was quite exhausted from work and decided to keep walking because if my legs did not do me justice and lead me to my Uber I would have given him a piece of my mind and maybe a fist to head - but that would've made me no better than his unprofessional disgusting judgemental actions. Please hire and promote managers that know and understand consumer and customer rights!

Two days ago I went to a Target in Eagan, MN. I made purchases totaling $104.34. I paid using my Target Red Card and a $10 gift card (one of the ones they hand out if you buy specific items). Today I returned one of the items, the cost of which (including tax) was $8.17. The customer service person insisted that amount could not be credited to my Red Card but must be returned to me via an $8.17 gift card. This assumes that I will return to Target to spend that gift card and unless I do so they have not reimbursed me for the cost of the item. Given the fact that the total cost of items purchased two days ago was $104.34 this "policy" seems ridiculous.
I contacted the Eagan Target and asked to speak to the store manager. I was placed on hold twice, disconnected twice and, after 15 minutes transferred to the customer service department who told me that the "manager is too busy for phone calls". I called the customer service number (800-440-0680) and was informed that whenever a gift card was part of ANY transaction and an item was returned the credit would be made with a gift card, even if the total purchased items were over $100 and the gift card was only $10. The person I spoke with agreed that this was NOT actually crediting the account for the returned item and unless one would actually return to the store to use the gift card the customer would not be reimbursed.
This customer service rep also stated (when I pursued the matter) that a substantial number of people do not ever use the reimbursement gift cards. Hence it seems that when one uses a gift card as a portion of ANY payment for items purchased and finds it necessary to return an item a gift card will be given and Target is counting on customers to lose, forget or have the gift card expire and then Target will not have had to reimburse the customer for the returned item. I find this an extremely dishonest policy and, as a Target customer for 30 years, I will no longer shop at Target. There are too many other options which treat customers honestly. Target is NOT one of them. Shop elsewhere. I know I will.

Tried to write a check for a video game for an amount over $300 just now. In front a long Christmas line of shoppers, the associate informed me they would not accept my check. Very embarrassing to say the least. I thought of my home, that has been paid off and its $900,000 value, and my corresponding bank accounts. The bank accounts were very sufficient to cover this check. A few years I did have a credit card at Target, but was told that my check writing history was insufficient to allow today’s transaction. I then presented my GOLD credit card and bought the device. Obviously I was still upset at being disgraced, so I went to Walmart, purchased the device with a similar check and RETURNED the device to Target. I have told my family already and will continue to spread the embarrassing day to neighbors in our swanky neighborhood. The 800 number associates were no help.
I WILL NEVER SHOP AT TARGET AGAIN AND I WILL PASS THIS ALONG TO ANYONE THAT WILL LISTEN. No wonder Target is losing market share to all retailers. To all Target associates: treating good customers THIS WAY will leave to more Target stores closing. YOUR JOBS WILL GO AWAY. I, for one, would be sorry for you, After today, I do not care.

I ordered 2 hoverboards from Target around Nov 27, 2016. I paid about 250 a piece and received a confirmation email and a tracking email stating the items shipped. The items were supposed to be delivered on Dec. 8th but they didn't show up. I waited Dec 13th to reach out to Target because I knew they were busy with the holidays. When I called they said, “Oh sorry. We don't have them and we can only give a refund.” I explained to them that my husband who served in the military and who was deployed last Christmas, saved for those items and wanted them for the kids. They said they couldn't help. I also explained that I bought those items during Black Friday sales and could have bought them to other places if they didn't have it. And again they said they couldn't do nothing but give us a 20 dollar gift card to Target.
So out of 2 things our teenage kids wanted for Christmas they won't get their hoverboards, because Target doesn't care and they never even reached out to me to say it wasn't coming so I could purchase it somewhere else. I had to call several times to find out what was going on. Target is heartless! They didn't even care that my husband serving in the military who was deployed wanted to surprise the girls with this. I am so upset with Target. My eyes are filled with tears. Christmas isn't about items I understand, but my husband wanted it for them. I asked Target to pay the difference for me to find the items somewhere else, 'cause I didn't want the money, just the items. They again said no and they were sending a refund and a 20 dollar gift card. I have really changed how I look at the company. I won't buy from them again.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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. <:

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.

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. I’m just letting you know that you have lost a customer and I will be posting my experience in social media as well. I am expecting for someone to call me.

I ordered an item (Amazon Echo) from Target.com on 10/25/17 via Express Delivery to receive on 10/26/17. 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.

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. With an advanced online shopping service, I hope this kind of unprofessional and untrained staff stay home one day to beg for finding the position that they don't appreciate now!

Target gift cards are a total scam. If stolen, there is NO way to get the money refunded. The phone activation is cumbersome and customer service reps are condescending and proceed to lecture rather than help. NO ONE should ever get one of these.

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.

My experience at Target self checkout was extremely uncalled for. The security guard watched us put our items in bags. Watch this with large items. Watched the cashier help us with the large items and sign out and pay for our items. We're carrying large Pampers all types of things. 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. He did that once I put my stuff away and I'm carrying all these large items. I do not wish to take it back out." Unnecessary profiling.

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 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 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.

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?

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.

First, I've shipped with Target for YEARS! Went in for outdoor led lights, found my way in the shoe dept. as I always do. 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! Tired of being lied to by Target! Over target. Will never Shop there again after this!

When shopping at Target south in Rochester, MN on Maine St. You must have an app called Cartwheel in order to receive a discount on item that was 20% off. The Target employee told me she would use her phone this time but I had to have the app next time. So what happens if you do not have that kind of phone which can hold a lot of different apps or none at all. So next time this happens I will take my business elsewhere. Where I can get a discount as the store advertised.

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.

I would actually rate this place a 0 star. I bought a Braun Shaver from Target San Francisco on 2nd June. I was a tourist so opened the box on arriving back in India. When I opened the box I found that the shaver's body was scratched, the shaver was used, Blade broken, Charger missing and the wrong model put inside. The shaver I bought was 3040 but the piece was of 3010. Was extremely disappointed with the product but could not do anything as I was a tourist.

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 went into Target today to purchase Beauty and the Beast with the Target exclusive 32 page book. However the store I went to was already sold out and so was the other one in town. The clerk was very helpful and said it was available online so I decided to just order it from there. What they fail to mention is the extra $5.99 to have it shipped to 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. Called customer service and they were useless. Kept saying that it was the manufacturers who decided how many each store got. Really because it seems to me just a way for them to make more money.

So, when 2 of the awarded employees used it to pay their purchases in different stores, cards were declined. They called the numbers at the back of the card, they were told cards were not activated. I went to Target where I purchased them and showed them that the receipt didn't show that those 2 cards were not activated among others. 13 cards were fine. I was so frustrated!!!

Regardless, I just tried to purchase stuff from them and they have placed a block on my online account. I am forever blocked from buying stuff online because they screwed up! So because they messed up my Christmas order and they can't get their affairs correct, I get punished for it?

How dare Target for treating me like I'm some criminal and banning me for your screw ups!

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.

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.

Her team with no real explanation is being let go even after working there a year as well as going right back to work after her father passed away because it was busy time of year with upcoming holidays. I WILL NOT shop there again and will make sure everyone I know knows what Target did to her.

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.

I bought an iPad in Target since they have $150 off. I went home and opened it, there was two packets of powder instead of iPad. Also the plastic package was thick as compared to other one. I am never going to shop in Target even they have something for free.

I placed an order online, paid for 2-day delivery... Tracking # Target provided was "invalid", never received the order, called them, apologies over and over. I say "REFUND my money to my credit card that I charged it to through PayPal and I am done!" They tell me they don't "refund" to credit card used, they can only issue a "gift card" from Target! Are you kidding me? They keep my money, dictate I am going to shop Target!!! I've reported to PayPal and we are now going after Target!
This store cannot NOT credit back to card you used at online and make you spend that money in their disgusting store!!! Take a stand to not be pushed around by these big stores! Stand your ground! I will never ever support or shop Target. Btw, a few years ago, I hadn't used my Red card for a year and they lowered my credit line, mind you always paid in FULL but by them lowering my line of credit it also lowered my credit score! This store is a thorn in anyone's side. You either spend there or they try to ruin your credit (which it didn't work) but then they want to guarantee you spend your money there by refunding a "gift card"!!!

Identify theft on gift cards. Don't hold on gift cards or return merchandise cards too long. Without you knowing someone can report them stolen/lost and take the balance from you. Target will not do anything once the balance is spent.

Basically I thought I had left my wallet at Target and tried to call them versus investing 45 minutes driving there and back. 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.
Target your customer service is absolutely terrible. I one believed in you and your re-branding... that you were a higher quality than Walmart with higher standards. I bought stock thinking it would one day soar. Boy am I glad I sold that stock. If you are going to turn off the phones, go ahead and shut off the lights and lock the doors. It's coming sooner than later with awful service like this.
To keep the story short, I was rushing around planning a surprise birthday party for my wife. Target was on my list of places to stop. Completed my transaction there and headed home to do the bazillion remaining tasks I had to do. Realized I didn't have my wallet. Last place I used it was Target. I needed it as I still had many things to buy that day.

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.

When you list a price for an item and sell the item online, you should honor the price you sold the item for, and not just cancel the item when you realize you screwed up. Others cannot just delete their mistakes. Definitely an eye opening experience realizing how little Target thinks of their customers.

We purchased a cell phone at Target and paid almost $700 dollars for it. Imagine our surprise when we received our cell phone bill and it showed we still owed $700 on it. When we contacted Target they said it wasn't their problem. It was the cell phone company problem. What we didn't know is that the employees who staff and sell cell phones AREN'T TARGET EMPLOYEES. 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. Target was silent the whole time. Boo on Target.

I ordered a pair of winter boots for a Christmas present on 11/27 and the delivery date was before Christmas. I received a delay notification right before Christmas telling me I would not have the item in time. It was too late to find something else so I wrapped a photo and told her it would be delivered right after Christmas. I still do not have the item but continue to see charges held on my bank statement. I just received another notice telling me the item will be delivered by 2/27/17. I don't trust this either because this is at least the fifth date I have received and now it is impossible to find a different pair of boots because of the time of year.
This was the one present she really wanted and now won't get it or if she did not in time to wear this season. It is impossible to reach the corporate office which tells me they don't care about service. I called and cancelled the order and they seemed to care less and told me I could try to reorder it. I will never order anything from Target or shop there again.

Ordered 2 swimsuits online. Went to the store to return both just 2 days after receiving. I was told that one suit couldn't be returned -- for some reason the computer wouldn't allow the return. Rep called a 1-800 number and they couldn't help, but said I would get an email in a few days to try to figure it out. Had to go home with one swimsuit for no reason explained. Called customer service next day, obviously outside US. Explained the story, was put on hold for 20 minutes while rep looked into it, then phone disconnected. I will never order or buy from Target again. This is the worst customer experience I have ever had.

I am very unhappy with Target's lack of responsibility to contact me that an order I placed SEVERAL months ago was cancelled. I changed bank institutions since I ordered 4 months ago so now I just lost my money too. I will NEVER order from Target again and I will tell everyone else not to as well. 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.

Target is very convenient with groceries and a pharmacy on site, I do 90% of my shopping at Target. As a general rule they have whatever I'm looking for and at a reasonable price, but there are times - I pick something up and my jaw hits the floor because the price is outrageous.

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. Target needs to learn that a dissatisfied customer tells 7-10 other people where as a satisfied customer tells but one maybe two others. I'll never go back.
