I placed an online order with Target on Saturday, November 7, 2015, to take advantage of the 25% off BESTFIT code for toys for my kids for Christmas. I placed the items in my cart and upon checkout attempted to use my additional 5% pharmacy rewards discount. This code never works. Never. Every time I try to enter this code I need to call for them to manually adjust my order. Every time I call I get someone who cannot understand or speak English. I do not care that they outsource their call centers, but for a company that is based in the United States the employees working for that company should speak the language. I was on the phone for over an hour and she could not understand what I was trying to do. Over an hour. By this time I had lost the 25% code on some of the toys as I was on the phone past midnight. She finally put me on hold and never came back!
I left that phone on hold and called back with my husband's phone and got someone else. She was at least semi-helpful and got the order pushed through. In the meantime, however, some of the item counts in my order had changed and she had to adjust the 25% and it still never ended up working on the NERF gun I ordered, which it had originally. All in all I was on the phone for TWO AND A HALF HOURS getting this order placed. This is absolutely ridiculous. Target has some serious problems. I left the original call I had placed on hold for another hour and that representative never came back to help me. Absolutely the worst service I have ever received.

Target mailed new REDcards out to its holders and changed them from being able to use them as a debit card. After an experience at their Auburn Hills, MI store this evening I'm not sure that I will be using my REDcard ever again! I liked the fact that I could use it as a debit card because that means I don't have to wait for a credit to appear when I return anything. It's going to be easier using my regular bank card. Yes I may miss getting the 5% off of my purchases. However, it's much less hassle in the long run! My family shops at Target a lot and I've saved almost $200.00 this year using it. But no more. I'm done.

I made an order on Target.com on 26/10/15. I attempted to cancel the order on 27/10/15 because of incorrect sizing, in which they advised me that the cancellation process was put into action but not confirmed until I received an email that advised me that it was done. On 28/10/15 I received an email advising me that they were delaying my order and it would not be delivered until 6/11/15. I paid for Premium Shipping/Delivery, in addition to the cost of the product and taxes. This delivery option ensures delivery in two (2) business days, i.e. 29/10/15.
Upon receipt of the email informing me of the delay, I again attempted to cancel the order on 28/10/15, but was told nothing could be done as a cancellation request was already in progress. When I asked for a refund on at least the shipping, they said they were unable to do so and that I would have to physically return the item upon receipt on 6/11/15, which I explained to them would be impossible.
I believe I am at least due a refund on shipping as I paid for Premium Shipping and this service is no longer being given as the item will be delivered almost two (2) weeks after being ordered, in spite of several attempts to cancel it. On 29/10/15 I was told by an agent that if I did not receive an email confirming the cancellation by day end that day, my order would no longer be able to be cancelled. I never received a cancellation confirmation email.

I signed up through Target for my wedding registry. Worst experience ever!!! 3 items broke while being shipped and me or the person who ordered it was never notified. Found out by calling them. I had an item that never got sent because they were sold off of that particular item but was not at the time. And all they could do was refund the people who sent the items. But that was said till I called to complain. My wedding was a month ago. Some of these items were bought over two months ago!!! How do you expect to take people's money then never tell anyone that it's broke or that items were sold out? However Target charged anyhow. I do not recommend them for a wedding registry at all. And people try to say Wal-Mart's bad. Ha.

Sadly when attempting to sign up for their subscription service I not only had issues even creating my order, but then after UPS shipping issues have spoken to one incompetent person after another. Issue has not been resolved, was lied to by a rep and have spoken to at least 2 reps who couldn't speak English well, nor understand me. Now I'm awaiting escalation to a supervisor and I have been on hold for over 5 minutes and wasted 20 minutes. The good news is that the managers that I've spoken to have been helpful in solving my problems. The bad news is all the people I spoke to before supervisors were unhelpful, unknowledgeable and 2 out of 3 could not understand or speak English well.

I was looking to 2 day ship a costume to my brother at college around 8 am Tuesday, October 27th. On the google search, Target's big Halloween ad with Terrific Tuesday popped up and promised free shipping guaranteed by October 29th or October 30th. I placed the order and then watched as the item didn't ship Tuesday or Wednesday. I called at 8:31 am Thursday am and spoke with Joseph who was polite but didn't understand english very well. He repeated several cue card responses assuring me that the product would be arriving. When I asked what to do if it didn't, he said "Thank you for your business goodbye" and hung up on me. As I thought this was odd, I called back several hours later and spoke with Whitney. She told me Target has to get it to him by October 30th.
I informed her I understand that was what the shipping said but it looked as if it still hadn't shipped. She put me on hold then came back and reiterated that the shipment would be received by today. I received an email in my inbox 4 hours ago, letting me know that TODAY, Oct 30th - my order would be delayed until November 9th. My CC has been charged and it's a Halloween costume. This is ridiculous, insulting and greatly disappointing to the person who was planning on using the costume this evening. Had I known on Tuesday or even Wednesday, I could have ordered somewhere else and done an overnight. As it is, I am incredibly disturbed at being flat out lied to and falsely assured and now having a useless costume show up in 10 days after the event. Bad form Target and I will avoid shopping your box store as well based on this experience.

I ordered 2 toys online for my granddaughters’ birthday from Target.com. A My Little Pony set and My Little Pony play house. All went well and I was notified that my order had come in to my local Target store as arranged. Then later I got another message that the Pony house had been cancelled and no reason was given. Only the Pony set was to be picked up. So I went back to Target.com and ordered the Pony house to be delivered to my home. 45 minutes later I went to pick up the Pony set at the store, the Pony house was there too! So I went ahead and paid for all and went home to cancel the second Pony house. Well, apparently you can't cancel an order even an hour later.
But the worst part was when I tried to get support/help from customer service, the people I spoke to (3 different ones) spoke haltingly with heavy accents and just didn't seem to understand my dilemma nor have an answer other than a scripted one. I asked where they were located and I was told the Philippines. So my complaint is this: how can an organization as large as Target not offer cancellation services right after an order is taken and then have customer service representatives who lack necessary skills to handle this situation and explain exactly their policy (which I am not happy with!).
So now I have this large Pony house being delivered to my home which I will have to lug back to the store for credit. All because they messed up and told me it was cancelled when it was not. Believe me, I will only order from Target.com when I have no other choice in the future. I love the Target stores and shop there regularly but this experience was hugely disappointing and majorly inconveniencing to me!

I placed an on-line order at approx. 11PM, and received an email saying the product wouldn't ship until 5 days later. No problem. The next morning, I realized I needed to change the shipping address (within 12 hrs of placing order), so I called their 800 CS #. The rep could barely speak English, and said they couldn't modify the order/address. I told him it wasn't even going to ship for 5 days, and asked why this was a problem. I escalated the issue to his supervisor, who told me she COULD change the shipping address, but I told her that after 30 mins on the phone to complete such a simple task, that I just want to cancel the order. She apologized and said, "OK, it's done".
The $286 charge showed pending in my bank acct. for several days, then went away. A few days later, I order the same product from Amazon and receive it within 2 days (prime member). As I'm assembling this product in my garage, UPS pulls up to deliver the canceled order from Target! I refuse delivery and go call Target to tell them they screwed up. I get apologies and assurance that the order is officially canceled now.
Two days later, I get an email from Target saying my product has shipped!!! The following day, my bank account is charged the $286! Today is Sunday, and after spending 45 minutes (no exaggeration) with another barely, English speaking rep, I'm finally handed off to a "specialist", who is speaking politely, but is clearly indifferent to the matter. She assures me (for the THIRD time over a 10 day period) that the order is canceled and that they have located it after UPS returned the shipped order that was canceled 5 days prior to even shipping it. Unreal!
I will NEVER, EVER, do business with Target on-line. I felt like I was in a Godfather movie, where you don't refuse an order. I've been doing business with Amazon for over 20 yrs now, and will never wander again. I should mention that, Walmart is good to do business with on-line, as well (niche products that I've ordered).
Bottom line: American-based companies are doing themselves a great disservice when outsourcing their Customer Service function to foreign countries. However, I was definitely, involved with U.S. customer service during this experience, and they were equally inept at handling such a simple task. I cannot even start to comprehend how many hours more (phone) would have been required to resolve an equally simple/basic task, if there was any other circumstance involved. THIS was a simple, "Cancel the order, since you can't change the shipping address (within 12 hrs of order)." Target's ineptness is unrivaled.

This week, 10/18/2015, there is a promotional for baby product, spend $150 get $25 GC. There is also a promotional for huggies and pampers diaper, buy 3 get $20 GC. Twice in one week, I got charge extra for these items. On Sunday (10/18/2015), I was charge 2 more boxes of diapers, $24.99 each. Luckily, I went back right inside and inquire. The customer service told me that the receipt was correct. I told her "can you look at my cart and add up the boxes again." 3 pampers and 3 huggies diapers. The receipt said 8 boxes $24.99. She looked at it and said it was correct the second time. I had to circle the items to make it obvious for her.
After 15 minutes, she finally credit me $36 dollars. Wait a minute, 24.99 + 24.99 $36. I am 39 weeks pregnant and I am exhausted from the long line not to mentioned that the cash register I used did not prompt for the gift card. I had to ask her to double check because the sign does not lie. So, fine, I will just accept the lost and call it a day.
Today, 10/21/2015, I went to my sister's apt. and she needed some stuff at the Target nearby. Since I have the GC from previous transaction, I bought 3 more pampers and 3 more huggies. Again, the same thing exact thing happened. This time, I just look at the receipt now and realized that. This time, I used the 15% coupon from my baby registry and it took me 30 min to pay for this. This complaint is here to inform other shoppers that the corporation is run by a whole bunch of people with no common sense and no courtesy. Most importantly, I hate how their system works.

I purchased Target Gift Card for a Special Birthday of my sister. Not only my account was charged and day later I also discovered that the gift card that was suppose to arrive simply as a text (what should be 10 min processing) never arrived and my sister obviously thought I did not send her any Birthday gift. Now I felt bad that it was not on time. I tried to fix the problem and called customer service. After 5 minutes with the automated voice machine I spoke to a representative who barely spoke any English and she assured me that the gift card was resent and I had to wait for another 4 hours for it to process.
Checking 8 hours later - the gift card was still not delivered. Another call to a customer service resulted in another bad experience. The person on the phone barely spoke any English again and told me that I need to wait another 4 hours or even more. I tried asking why is that and what is the problem but the representative kept telling me the same sentence over and over again: "your request is processing now, please check in later" and eventually after a couple of more questions the representative just hang up on me! So here I am with my account being charged, birthday gift not only not delivered on time, but not delivered AT ALL and probably never will! All I left with - terrible feeling towards Target and nowhere to call or go for help. I never leave negative reviews and I am very sad this is my very first one! Well done Target!

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

Tried to cancel a shipment less than one hour after ordered as it should have been an in-store pickup. Received a confirmation number it was cancelled. They sent notification it was shipped. When I called they were rude and informed me that there was nothing they could do, that I should call the shipper and that the confirmation number was only confirmation that they had sent the "request" to cancel and there was no guarantee it would actually be cancelled which is not what they told the in-store associate trying to assist me. They also stated credit card would not be charged till delivery and to call shipper and refuse delivery. They charged my credit card as soon as they set up shipping information.
Called the shipper, they verified the product hadn't actually shipped and that only a label at that point had been made. I was lied to numerous times. They were extremely rude and I never could get anyone on the phone to get a straight answer. At this point I still have a charge on my credit card, no desk and not sure when it will arrive so that I can refuse the delivery and not sure when the charge will reverse on my card. Never again.

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

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

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

I ordered three dresses from Target. I am leaving for vacation in a couple of weeks and I don't want to wear jeans or my work clothes. The package didn't arrive in the estimated delivery time and while tracking it I noticed it didn't update often. Finally it said the package was undeliverable to my address. Not Target's fault but instead of being shipped to the nearest store it was shipped back across the country.
I called and I have to say the customer service was excellent. The girl I talked to was very helpful. However, she only offered standard delivery for replacement items and I would be charged for rushed shipment. I won't get them before vacation. Then I read the e-mail about my replacement items and I learned that they wouldn't be shipped until the original items had been returned. If I had known that I would have most likely asked for a refund as the only reason I had purchased them was for a vacation that I won't have them for. I am pretty frustrated at this point.

I don't know what it's like in the rest of the world, but Target in Chattanooga, TN (not Hixson for those of you who might be local) is strange... very strange. The employees act odd and I don't really know how else to describe it other than either they're brainwashed, or they're full of angst. I can understand the angst part. Not wanting to be there, minimum wage, I get it. The problem I actually have is the brainwashed stuff.
I had one woman check me out who had COMPLETELY drank the Kool-Aid. I can't even really recall half of what she said, I was so shocked. She was trying really hard to get us to sign up for Target's debit card, and then for their credit card. She kept saying things like, "Everyone shops at Target", "Everyone loves Target", "Target is all you need", among other things. I'm not joking. She didn't look like she was joking either. She was completely serious.
I also had the "pleasure" of witnessing a training class one morning. The training class was worrisome. They were playing games to learn the merchandise, I guess. I happened to be in the shoe section looking for my daughter some sandals, and I kid you not, every single trainee stopped me to ask me if they could help me. They all had these eager, but very creepy smiles on their faces. Now I get when you're trying to learn your job, but do these people understand (the trainers) that they are interrupting and inconveniencing their customers with this nonsense? Very odd. I also couldn't shop correctly with all the trainees in the walking paths and standing in front of the merchandise. At one point, they all just kind of stood around doing nothing, but I had to get around all of them.
Then there is the typical stalking that happens no matter where I go to shop. This is usually done in the clothing section, with one very miserable-looking store employee not even caring if you notice. Once you leave that section, you're gravy. Judgmental dressing room employees who believe it's okay to tell you what you do and do not look good in was another problem. We have the fortune of knowing someone who works at Target. They have confirmed the strange culture there that I am talking about. They are looking for another job as we speak. Another friend of ours that worked there literally couldn't take it and quit after 2 grueling years there. He's happier now as a convenience store clerk. When you prefer a worse position and pay over potential Target higher management, something is wrong.
I will say I do enjoy Target for their products. I will also admit that I think they're a little full of themselves because they've increased their prices a LOT since I first became aware of how good their products were. Simultaneously, product quality has declined. Their training policies need to change, and if you're worried about customers stealing clothes, why not make it so your buggies can fit down the aisles so not only your customers, but also your employees can see? Lots of dark nooks and crannies because the clothing section is stuffed to the rim.
Their customers are pretty much snobby soccer moms and stay at home wives with no life. They bring their whole gaggle of children and their friends children with them and just have this really stuck up demeanor. It's sad really because it makes it uncomfortable to shop there. I know Target can't control that, but it's still a problem. Come on people, it's Target... it isn't that special. I'm a work-from-home mom, but you don't see me walking with my nose in the air. I also hate their cheap and hard to navigate website. I don't like shopping for clothes on it because it is so terrible-looking and half the time crashes and doesn't work. I think Target has some improvements to make. Overall, I just don't like shopping at Target. It's a strange experience and I feel like I'm in the twilight zone when I go there.

Most incompetent service representatives ever, and here's why. I ordered a desk with expedited shipping. Received it damaged. Ordered a replacement. Target offered a discount for inconvenience, especially because the person could barely speak English, had to keep asking a supervisor about procedures, and kept me on the phone for 40 minutes. Discovered that the replacement desk, which was supposed to take a couple days, was going to be a couple weeks AND the incompetent rep documented that I was given the discount because it was going to take longer to receive. That documentation was a lie.
I called back and spent 30 minutes on the phone with a second rep, whose language skills were equivalent to the first, and couldn't understand the issue. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, I was told no. Over the next week, I received three generic survey requests, and every one of them I responded and told them that I would not be back, but gave them my contact information. There was no attempt at contacting me other than a generic email asking if I wanted a replacement, which I cancelled with the second phone call. Ridiculous. I will NEVER use Target Online again.

I have a t-shirt from Target which I love. I ordered several more in various colors from their website. Shipping and returns were free, so I figured, what do I have to lose? I paid via PayPal.

They sent me a return label. I packed up everything and dropped it off at my local UPS store. Three weeks went by. I waited for the money to show up in my PayPal account but nothing.
So tonight I called customer service. Apparently, they'd received my package within a couple of days of shipping so I asked why the money wasn't back in my PayPal account. They told me they don't refund to PayPal... They can only send me a Target Gift card. Now, this pissed me off because I don't want anything else from Target. I want my money back. But they didn't even issue that gift card until I called to find out what happened to my money. If I hadn't called how long would I have had to wait for my money?

I was looking for a certain merchandise, but couldn't find it. There were no employees in sight, after searching for one that was I guess stocking up merchandise. I was walking towards her, she saw me, turned around and acted like she didn't see me coming to ask her a question. I even was calling her politely as I was walking to her. When I got there her demeanor was very rude. I asked her if she knew where the item was. She just shook her head no and walked off to get more items that she was restocking. I thought that was so rude and unprofessional. If you don't want to help customers you shouldn't work retail. Finally I found another female that directed me to the item I was looking for. She wasn't rude, just acted as if she didn't want to be there.
The first incident I had Target, was during the winter. There was miscommunication about how I was paying for my items. The female employee was rude, it ended out with an argument and her trying to get in my face to fight me. Mind you I had both my kids with me, security had to come and the manager. To this day, I make sure I don't go to her register. I rather stand on a longer line than go to her. Problem was resolved, but their employees are so rude. I'm glad Target is in East Harlem, but the employees need to be properly trained in customer service.

I have been going back and forth with Target for over a month now. I've experienced the worst customer service ever. I am so hurt by this because I really love Target. I've been hung up on, called stupid, and just treated with so much disrespect that I now have to consider no longer shopping at Target. I can't even begin to explain my frustration and the concern I'm having still hasn't been resolved.

I purchased a baby car seat online for a baby shower off the expectant parents' Target gift registry list. Normally I would make my purchase at a Target store, but the item was available online only. Purchasing and delivery were easy and hassle-free, but the item was delivered to my home in a box that was filthy dirty, crushed and had obviously been opened and re-taped (possibly more than once), totally unacceptable!
Needing a replacement within a few days, I contacted customer service by "chat". This was my first, and hopefully last, experience "speaking" with someone most likely in another country who didn't speak English very well. "He" asked me questions that were not relevant to my situation and were incorrectly worded. After a morning of very frustrating online conversations, I gave up my quest to order a replacement from Target. In under 5 minutes I found the same item, same price and free shipping on Amazon. It was delivered to my doorstep in pristine condition in 2 days. This is my first and last Target.com order!

Customer service kept hanging up or dropping my calls when being transferred as we tried to fix a payment issue during August and September of 2015. The customer service seem to be limited in solutions and robotic in decisions. The customer service lacks ability to resolve many problems. This situation was worse than in 2014, when I took an item back the next day after purchase and the store said they had to give me store credit back instead of refunding my credit card. I had to call the central office at the store to get the problem resolved. I had dropped calls and transfer issues calling their customer service from the store.

Me and my parents went for shopping at Target a few weeks back. My husband and I had recently made a Target card for that 5 percent discount because we shop a lot at Target. So at the check-out my mom paid the lady at the counter in cash and asked her if she could swipe the card too just to get the discount. The ill-informed Target employee let her swipe the card and also took the cash. The receipt says that we paid on the card which my mom didn't check. Huge mistake. But that lady on the counter, Diana -- I even remember her name -- she took the cash! A week later when I checked my Target credit card account it was showing up those $111 that we had already paid at the store.
Since then my husband and I have been trying to contact Target. We asked them to see the video footage to confirm that we have paid in cash. They completely refused to cooperate. Told us that they can't show us the videos and that there is no evidence of cash payment. We asked them to confirm the video with us and tell us how many people are there, who's paying the cash, so that we know they're watching the right video. Haven't heard back from them. I think they are burglars. Their employees are robbing people and it's pathetic that they won't do anything about it.

I was suckered in by Target's subscription offer wherein you sign up for periodic delivery of a product and receive a discount and free delivery. Sounds good, right. The problem is that Target has very poor quality control of their shipping, billing and credit operations. My first order of dog food was fine, but on the second order, I was shorted one bag. Fortunately, this was resolved with a phone call. However, on the third order, things really fell apart.
First, Target took away my discount by making a separate charge to my credit card; this is outright fraud. But wait, it gets better. My credit card was then hit TWENTY separate times with duplicate billings! Of course, this required that I cancel my credit card, a huge inconvenience. Then when I called Target, I got the usual song and dance that they were aware of the situation, but no offer of compensation for my inconvenience. I don't know if this breach was internal or external, but I do know that I will never make another purchase from Target either in person or line. These people just do not have their act together nor do they know the meaning of customer service.

I created an account to shop online. First you create account for your red card (debit), then you create account for the online shopping. First, it times out, so you have to sign in about every 2 - 10 min. When you are trying to filter by size, cost & gender, it will change without you changing it. Then, to try & go back, it's almost impossible. So I adding to the cart & all sites I have been on has an option to check out or go back to shopping. This one doesn't so you have to start again. So I have to sign on again & now says incorrect password. Tried at least 5 times, now I am going to reset password. I did that so many times because it was never sent to my email. So it tells me if having a problem call the online customer service.
Targets customer service is based in the Philippines. I could not understand them & they didn't have a clue on the problem I was having. Very simple request if from the USA. The first one kept thinking it was for the registry. I couldn't take it after ten min. I said, "I can't believe this. I have had to repeat myself so many times". He hung up on me. Call back & different person, same problem. We couldn't understand each other. Why do I have to go thru this frustration, when I shopping in the USA? I am boycotting Target like I did Avon. There are based in Indonesia. Try & get them to correct an order. So many Americans need jobs here in the USA. You lost me as a customer.

Hello, I am Adarsh **. On Sunday I have visited Target center in Ridgedale, Minnesota. While checkout, I swiped my card, and the cashier told me that it did not go through. So, she asked me to swipe again, and I did. After coming home I realized that I was charged twice. On the same day, I tried to contact customer service online, and they told me that they don't have access to 3rd party credit cards, so they were not unable to refund me the money. So, I have left a online message yesterday, but still did not hear back from you.
Then I went to the another Target center near to me in downtown Minneapolis. They told me that I need to go back to Ridgedale to solve this issue. I did not expect such lame answers from such a reputed company. I have not heard back from you even after 24 hours. Why should I go back to Ridgedale to solve this issue? Does it make any sense?

I purchased gifts off a bridal registry for the ease of convenience of this option or so I thought. When ordering gifts from a bridal registry online with other companies in the past, I have never had an issue. It was quick and easy and efficient and the gifts were sent directly to the address I indicated. Not so much with Target. Apparently when you order off a bridal registry or any other registry with Target, it automatically goes to the home address listed on the registry instead of giving the buyer a choice to be delivered to the address of the purchaser as was what I had wished to do since we are attending the bridal shower in the near future and wanted to bring the gifts ourselves wrapped and ready with a card, etc.
I thought there was an option button and was pretty sure I had selected that option but apparently that does not exist (only fill out your address for billing purchases) and when you purchase a gift from a registry it will go directly to the "owner" of the registry by default. Unfortunately I did not notice this or was unaware of this until I received the email confirmation a few hours later. When I called customer service, the rep could not help me. I spoke to a manager and he said he could not help either. Two of the gifts were already on the way but the remainder of the gifts not yet shipped could not be changed to ship to my home address, as was my original intent. In order words, Target told me "Tough, there's nothing we could do about it." Really? I was not happy and told him so and wanted them to figure out how to correct the problem. Shouldn't have been too difficult at least for the remaining items not yet shipped. Nope.
This manager, the employee representing Target, ultimately proceeded to hang up on me. Wow! It was very professional of him. I called a second time and got another manager. He was a little more compassionate for my situation and apologized for the problem but the bottom line again was "Tough, we can't do anything to change it." So now what I thought would be an easy and convenient purchase is a bigger issue than it ever needed to be. I have to figure out how to contact the future mother in law or another family member to intercept the gifts when they arrive at the future bride's home and somehow get the gifts back to me so we can show up to the shower with the gifts as most normal shower attendees do unless they are out the area and/or not attending the shower. We were choosing not to go empty-handed but instead wrap and bring the gifts ourselves.
Shouldn't Target give an option button to indicate where the gifts should be sent like other retailers? I certainly believe there should be and actually believed I had done that. I was wrong. Under no circumstances would I ever purchase from or create a registry with Target online. I am thankful there are other retail stores out there that make it much easier shop and deal with online with no hidden surprises especially during these very important and special occasions. Target online customers, beware before purchasing and make sure you are clear on where your gifts are being delivered. Also beware on where Target stands and how they handle their customer service problems. They do and will not bend for you or do anything to rectify the situation. It's unfortunate.

Where do I begin? This day in age, where technology is booming, you'd think Target would be able to have an efficient website. Their website flat out SUCKS. The filters do not actually filter and they need to add some options. For example, I cannot tell you how many times I've been on the website searching and searching and then I go to check out and guess what? The items I wanted are 'out of stock'. Target - WHY do you show items that are out of stock? You just wasted my time. Further, I live on a military base overseas and about 3 months ago, I all of a sudden could not access the Target website. I know this has nothing to do with the country I'm in because I've spoken to friends on military bases in FIVE other countries and they now have the problem, too.
The only way we can access the Target website now is by buying a VPN. Why?!!! I know Target has lost A LOT of business from overseas military members because of this and they've done nothing to fix the issue. Finally, when you email Target through their website for help it takes them DAYS to reply. It takes Amazon hours to reply. So, looks like I'll be giving Amazon all of my business now. I'm canceling my Target red card and will not be shopping with them anymore. I'm just still so amazed that Target allows their website to be so incompetent.

A real disappointment! Lack of information for international buyers. I bought on Target.com the US 100,00 eBay gift card with a price cut of 10 dollars, since I'm going to the US in a few days. So far seems like a good deal saving 10 dollars, but that only consumed my time and energy afterwards. When I purchased the gift card, I used Paypal as my payment method, with my Brazilian International credit card, and things ran smoothly. But when I tried to use the gift card on eBay Paypal was not processing my payment. Since the item was US 145,00[sic] I had to pay the extra US 45,00 with my Paypal account. Reaching out to Paypal I was informed that it was a common policy, that in order to use the gift card I would need to have an american credit card and an american billing address, and this information should be available to me before I made the purchase.
I was confused because on Target website they did not say anything on that regard. I mean, it's an international website, and when I was paying for the gift card with my now "useless Brazilian card". I had no problems. So I called Target, explained the situation and asked for a refund. But no, the false advertising we see on this website "free shipping on orders of $25+ & free returns on everything" doesn't seem to be the case. Since it's an email gift card there is no return for it, no refund no nothing, even if you're not able to use the card simply for the fact you're not an US citizen. After spending around 5 hours on the phone with Target, eBay and Paypal listening things from a "There's nothing I can do for you sir" and "Let me transfer you for the department that can better assist you." I've certainly spend more on international calls than my actual 10 dollar discount.
If only I had lost the discount, but in the end I end up losing the actual gift card, that was linked to my account on paypal, and there's no way of un-linking it in order to give to a friend who lives in the US. So, in the end I thought I was saving 10 dollars, but actually I just saw 90 dollars go down the drain, and A LOT OF HEADACHES that ruined my experience with Target. BEWARE INTERNATIONAL CONSUMERS, DO NOT BUY THIS.

I was originally very excited to buy this top, because I loved the colors and patterns. The push-up seemed like it did the job and it was sturdy. However, when I first purchased it, I got home to find I'd gotten the wrong size, because all of the hangers were labeled wrong. When I thought I was getting a small, I actually bought an extra large. So, I went back to exchange it the next day. When I tried to try on the correct size, I couldn't figure out the straps, and the padding was really weird. I returned to the store because the straps weren't attaching because the slots were sewn shut and the padding was just a wreck.
It seemed like there was a production error. The people at the returns counter said it was broken, so I returned it and they recommended I grab another one. I couldn't find one in my size, and I asked someone working by the fitting rooms if they had any in stock. She said that they sold out yesterday and they aren't making anymore. I am very irritated with the fact that I had to go to the store three times for one product and ended up without a single functioning one.

So of course our basket was extra fool. It was still school time and summer was right around the corner that is what we was shopping for... I took this incident as if he was being racists, because as we were shopping I look behind me and I see a dude on his knees looking through the kids clothes - looking at my 11 year old niece try on her clothes. Although she didn't do it in the dressing room, she did it over her clothes. So I go pop up on him and before he can see that I was standing next to him - he was still watching her and he had on security clothing. So I took it as if he was being a pervert towards her.
I asked him a question and he hopped up really quick like he had been caught. So after that I started to go off on him as we got ready to go pay. He was waiting for us at the door talking a lot of mess, because he thought our intentions was to go in there and steal! I don't steal. I don't do any of that! Because we are black he took it as if we was about to steal! I have a daughter and it's not worth losing her, and or my job! Plus what's the point of stealing if I get money!

So today "July 26th, 2015" and I went in there to get a couple of things and the security guy came up to me with 3 cops and I felt so embarrassed and so outta line because regardless or whatever - I didn't do ANYTHING! I didn't know I couldn't go in there and shop for more than 1 kid! I get money so I can afford it! I guess just because I'm black.

Hi. On the date of July 18th, 2015 I came into your Willow Lawn location store to exchange a pair of headphones I had received as a birthday gift. I did not have my receipt because all I wanted to do was get a different color headphones. The first representative that assisted me at the returns desk said due to the high cost of the item I would need a receipt to make that exchange. To me, that did not make any sense at all so I requested the manager so the manager could explain the return policy.
After waiting 15 or more minutes for a manager, a guy in a blue shirt with a walkie talkie attached came to explain the store policy. He tells me the same thing the previous representative told me. I ask this guy is he the store manager and he tells me no, he is store security. This guy by the name of Trey, which he wouldn't give me first initial of his last name, stated that the store manager would be unable to assist me at the time because he was busy. I asked Trey could he show me in writing this store policy and he is unable to.
Now at this point, I am very embarrassed because I'm sitting in a long line with a pair of headphones that I have no receipt for and the store security has come to assist me. Before exiting the store I went to the electronics section to ask the representative what was the exchange policy on headphones purchased but returning without a receipt. The rep by the name of Steven, I believe his name was, told me I could exchange for an equally priced item or if the item cost more I could pay the difference.
After hearing this, I go back to the exchange desk to speak with Trey, but to no surprise now Trey is busy in a store meeting. This service I received is completely unacceptable and this embarrassed me in your store. Hopefully, I will be hearing from someone to speak about this incident before I move further with this. Also, once I left the store I went to another location and exchanged my headphones with no problem, to get the color I really wanted.

I initially consulted Target.com for in stock availability of a baby Burt's Bees ointment. It stated there were 3 at my local Target. After driving in traffic and paying for parking 2 different employees informed me the item wasn't even being stocked on the shelves - literally there was no place marked by a price tag in the baby items shelf for the brand. I called Target, explained to the rep what happened, asked they sent the item and waived the $5.99 delivery fee under the circumstances. The rep put me on hold so he could "verify and approve" the information and eventually agreed to waive delivery charges. This was on 07/15/15.
The second rep I got on the phone begun to ask questions about what happened when I had already provided all the info he needed in my descriptions of events - I asked to be transferred to a supervisor who said she could either send a replacement item or issue a refund, not do both.
The refund she issued was less than the charge included in the email generated with the order - the supervisor refused to take that into consideration and only refunded what the system said I was due back. After going through the info from my bank and other order info I noticed Target had charged the wrong amount of state Tax. Once I got home I called back customer service, gave all the info including the refund processed from the supervisor and asked the rep to please send a tube of cream free of charge (a $6.61 value including taxes). He replied the system did not allow for that - which sounds improbable. I then asked he sent a gift card to show Target appreciated and understood my plight. He agreed to send a $5 e-gift card.
I am not holding my breath and $5 barely scratches the surface for the amount of grief I was put through by this joke of a corporation. Why would their shipping department pack a 3 oz tube of cream in an envelope instead of a box? Why wasn't I offered a gift card by the supervisor I spoke with who instead only made my experience more bitter and unpleasant? It is like dealing with a mom and pop operation at their first try at business - very bad!

I placed an order on Target.com several weeks ago for 2 items. One item was shipped via FedEx and I received it with no problem; the other was shipped via UPS Mail Innovations. After nearly 2 weeks, I checked the tracking on this item--which should have arrived days earlier--and saw the following: "Package returned to sender by local post office due to incorrect address. Contact sender for further assistance." I knew that the address I entered for the order was definitely correct because 1). I received the other item in the same order; and 2) have ordered other items using the same account/address with no problems. I contacted Target customer service, expecting to receive an apology and a simple resolution. I was definitely disappointed.
I was basically told to go through the trouble of reordering the item all over again myself, and the $6 cost of the item would be refunded to my card. I am not the kind of person who feels entitled to some kind of reward or consolation prize every time a business makes a mistake. However, I was shocked when the CSR refused to replace my order, resend it, or even PAY FOR THE SHIPPING OF THIS ONE ITEM THAT I NEVER HAD TO PAY IN THE FIRST PLACE, (my original order was over the $25 needed for free shipping, but this single item was only $6). I reluctantly got on the computer and ordered this item all over again. Luckily it was still in stock, as it was a clearance item to begin with.
A week later, I saw that dreaded message AGAIN on the tracking info. I called Target yet again, waited on hold for an eternity, was hung up on TWICE, (even though I wasn't angry or accusatory in any way) and finally got someone who was "able" to resend the item for me. I am still waiting on this item--a gift for my daughter's birthday--a month after the fact. It is being shipped for the THIRD time via UPS Mail Innovations, so I am expecting the same result this time. It seems to me that the issue lies in the Mail Innovations system. The address information is transmitted electronically between Target, UPS, and USPS. Somewhere within that system, the address becomes changed or passed along incompletely. Target still refuses to make any attempt to use another carrier for my package, even though they have admitted that my address is correct in their system and that it must be an issue with UPS.

I filed a police report and the police said there was nothing they can do. After about an hour in the store trying to speak with someone an employee told us to take it outside that we should go. About 30 Target employee came and started talking garbage about what happened like we weren't the victim. Everyone in the store was unprofessional and discriminatory. We were treat bad by every single employee instead of seeing the mistake they made. Doris didn't even talk with us. She just walked away. The whole security team did nothing. The whole store should be investigated and this should not happened to your customer.

Was recently in the Target at Sleater Kinney. In line I was chatting with a friend who had her new baby. When it was my turn I paid for the single t-shirt I was purchasing and as my county does not allow plastic bags and Target charges for the paper ones I said I did not need a bag. It was only the single item. The entire time there was an employee standing less than three feet from the cashier.
As I started to walk out she stopped me incredibly rudely and stated she needed to see my receipt and the she marked it. I asked when did Target start signing receipts and she said it's a new policy that they have to check (yet I was the only person that they stopped and she watched me make my single purchase ). I have been back once and no one was checking any of customers as they left. I would have been just fine if I had multiple items or if others had been checked but given the fact that she watches me pay for the purchase and then rudely stopped just me I do have an issue.

Target Irvine Spectrum -- I have never seen such a terrible management before in my life. One of the supervisors named Ivette or whatever her name is should be terminated for the way she treats the cashiers. Not just her. They literally force their own employees to open that stupid Target card. It's not required for them. They shouldn't be forced to open one themselves. If you want to be a successful company, you might wanna try and treat your employees the right way. Target should seriously reconsider who they hire as supervisors. Never shopping at Target again.

On 7/11/15, checking out after shopping at the Target Antioch Slatten Ranch store in Antioch, CA., my cashier, Hildreth, placed my kid's (3) individual flavored milk bottles in with my (4) packages of raw Jennie O ground turkey. I asked that the milk's be replaced because my kids would be drinking out of the containers in the car and I was not certain that the ground turkey packaging was secure. I did not want their little hands or mouths exposed to raw meat and/or blood. I explained my concern about the raw meat/drinks and the possible exposure to my kids.
Hildreth removed the milks from the bag, never asked anyone to go and replace them but told me to get the new ones on my way out of the store, which I was in agreement with. During the rest of the checkout, I noticed that she was throwing my bags onto the counter, which I ignored but was a little shocked about. My total bill was approximately $122. I gave her $140 in cash, which she proceeded to snatch from my hand. I then advised Hildreth that there was no need to snatch the money from my hand, which she denied and then proceeded to tell me that, "You would've known if I snatched the money from you." I then told her that she did snatch the money and asked her if her comment was a threat. She replied with a superficial smile, "No, you have a nice day."
At that point she was checking another customer out and I didn't want to hold the lane up. The cashier directly to the left looked over our way as she must've heard some of the exchange of words. My son was back with the new milks and I was ready to leave the store. I then went down to the customer service counter and requested to speak to a manager. The girl summoned the manager on duty, Hans, who appeared busy but listened to my story. He apologized, said that he would speak to Hildreth and went and got me (2) $3 "Apology Coupons." Hans was in a hurry, straight-faced and did not appear to be too rattled by his cashier's blatant disrespect for a customer.
I never asked for anything and nor was that my goal, I simply could not believe that I was treated that way for concern of my kids. Then, to top it off, the manager, Hans simply tried to band-aid it with apology coupons. I work in the tech industry, have a master’s degree in business but was always taught early on that customer service was a driving factor of business especially given the competition. I've shopped at that particular Target for the (3) years that I have lived in Brentwood and never had an issue with anyone. As a matter of fact, I've shopped at only Target stores for double digit years spending thousands upon thousands of dollars at stores in multiple states (Michigan, Illinois, Hawaii, Georgia, Texas & California).
My friend and I used to joke that we needed stock in Target because we spent so much money there. I honestly have to say that I was more disappointed in how the whole situation was handled by the store and my emailed feedback to corporate 7/11/15, never sent an email confirming receipt of my concerns. I may only be (1) customer but if Target chooses not to right things, I will no longer shop there. Quality customer service drives a business and I will only give my hard-earned money to a business that appreciates it. There is no excuse for poor customer service and I will continue to share my story about this experience.

Hicksville Target Long Island. Tried to get a good deal at Target and didn't realize what the workers had got me into. Miscommunication and misinformation throughout the whole process. I never ever had such a terrible experience in my life. First, the worker who helped me purchase my iPhone 6 told me the wrong deal and made me sign for the wrong thing. He misunderstood which I understand, but the next guy who tried to help messed up even more. Printer wasn't working for a whole week where I stopped by twice after the original transaction to get my 100$ gift card which is guaranteed when buying an iPhone 6.
Went to that location currently 5 times and still have not gotten my gift card! The managers from other stores had to get involved because of how bad the service they gave me was. I went out of my way to write this review because I have never been so frustrated in my life. The money I saved by buying the phone through Target has been wasted plus more through gas going back and forth 5 times! Even though my situation was screwed the worker ** brushed it off like it was no big deal and gave me more wrong information. He even sent me to Westbury who is top notch and they were confused as to why he sent me there.
I never have been so stressed over something so little. So much time and gas has been wasted in this process I can't take it. Do not go to Target in Hicksville. The service is terrible. I recommend Westbury 100%. Till this day two weeks ago I never got my gift card yet. Any other customer would've started a scene but I've been hanging on a rope for too long now. Please do yourself the favor and do not go there. Even after all the misinformation and messing up, they don't even sound sure that they can get me the gift card even after they made the mistake!

I placed an order on Target.com for 3 sets (2 per set) of throw pillows on 6/4/15. After ordering, I received an email stating all items were back ordered and would not be delivered until sometime between 6/23 and 7/9. Then, 3 days later I received another email stating 1 set of the pillows had shipped (6/7/15). On Friday 6/12, a Target package was delivered and when I opened it, my packing slip for the 2 pillows was inside but instead of the pillows... I found a box of PAMPERS DIAPERS.
I immediately called Target's Customer Service to let them know there had been a mistake. I explained the situation and the representative was apologetic and said "Instead of inconveniencing you with returning the diapers that you did not order, all we ask is that you either keep them or donate to a charity or someone in need. What we can do is express ship the pillows to you, and they will be there on Monday. Shortly you will receive an email updating you with a tracking number." I thought to myself, "That was easier than expected!" I never received an email, and Monday came and went.
So yesterday, Tuesday 6/16, I called Customer Service again. I explained the entire situation, and asked if I could have the updated tracking number since I never received the email. THEY HAD NO RECORD OF ANY REPLACEMENT SHIPMENTS. Then the real kicker, "Unfortunately the pillows are now out of stock online so we cannot ship you a replacement order. Feel free to visit a Target store and find them." Are you kidding me?!! I asked to speak with a supervisor, and I said "So they were in stock on Friday, when I was told they would be express shipped to my house. But because someone on your team failed to do their job and put the replacement order in, and days have gone by, the pillows are now out of stock and I would have to physically go to a Target store that carries them to get the pillows?" They then let me know that the pillows are carried at a Target store... 45 minutes away from my house!
I asked if they could have that store put them in a box and ship them to my house. Nope, not possible. My only option was to either drive 45 minutes out of my way, or get a refund. I opted for the refund, and the supervisor offered a $10 Target gift card, to be emailed to me. It's now 12 hours later and I'm still waiting on that gift card. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Had the worst experience with Target. Made my first purchase on 05/31 for around $30.00 (with a 10% off promo code), which allowed me to have free shipping. When all of my items arrived, one item was defective and was unable to be used, and another item was the wrong color. I immediately called Target to let them know of the two problems I had with my order. Not once was I told "I apologize you did not receive the correct items in new condition." I went on to explain the situation. I was then told by the agent, that I needed to return the lamp to a Target store and wait about 10 business days to reorder my lamp because they had to contact the warehouse to see if the warehouse put the blue lamp in the yellow lamps spot. He was unsure if it was a picking error, or a slotting error.
I waiting until today, to place a new order. I contacted live chat and asked them if the issue had been resolved so I can place a new order. The response I got was "I would place the order again, and hopefully you get the correct item." I didn't even know that was an acceptable response. I then asked the agent if the item was in stock, and he told me it was. My second question was "Am I going to receive free shipping on my order since it was on my original order and the wrong item was sent to me?" He stated he would waive the shipping. When I went to go place my order, the item was NOT in stock, and was $13.04 than I originally paid. I had also told the agent this, and he said he would adjust it. I ended up buying the SAME exact lamp (except this one I just purchased did not come with a light bulb, no biggie). I gave the agent my order number and he then proceeded to tell me that he was going to give me a gift card of $19.72.
No where in our conversation did he state that the refund would go on to a gift card when I had just paid with a VISA. I told him, "that is not acceptable and why would I get a gift card if my original payment is a credit card?" He tried to tell me I could use the GC whenever I wanted. When processing a refund, the refund must go back on to the original payment form, you don't get to choose. If I had paid with a gift card, I would be happy to receive a gift card back. He finally said he would refund the cost of the difference to my card. I received an email saying my order total was $11.51.. which I knew was wrong. The lamp cost was $9.78 with a 10% discount that comes to $8.80 + tax = $9.33 The amount of $9.33 should have been charged to my card and not $11.51.
I reviewed the receipt and found out they charged me 6% sales tax on the original cost of the item ($21.84), and not on the cost I originally paid ($8.80). Again I needed to contact Live Chat support. I swear both the phone agents and live chat agents don't even look at customers orders OR listen to what their customer has to say. He responded with "Yes, the order is $11.51." I then broke down the math so even the simplest of minds can understand. He knew I was beyond frustrated with the company and said "As a one time exception I will refund the difference." Oh geeze, thanks. You originally made the mistake, then tried to charge me the full amount, then tried to refund the difference onto a GC, then charged me the wrong sales tax on the item. I am forever grateful.
I will never ever be shopping with this company ever again. At my job, we give out $10 target gift cards for employees who go above and beyond in customer service. I will be meeting with the owner and HR department tomorrow to get these gift cards switched over to WalMart. As my employees should not have to deal with a company that misrepresents themselves, and should not have to go through a headache for the correct items.

I've been shopping at the Target in North Miami, Florida for over ten years now and never had a single bad experience until today. I visited the store earlier today to pick up quick grocery items that I usually do a couple times a week. My boyfriend and I have a habit of walking around the store to check out what's on sale or what's new and always tend to make impulsive purchases. While I was in the women's active wear section of the store I noticed two security guards paying attention to us. I didn't make anything out of it because I understand that their job is to be observant and protect the store. While my boyfriend and I moved to the men's section of the store, I continue to notice them again paying attention to us. Although I felt uncomfortable now, I still ignored them because I know I didn't steal anything.
I continued to the grocery department and picked up some items and proceeded to check out. At the end of paying for my items one of the security guards approached me and asked if I needed help with women's active wear. Now this is when I felt infuriated and embarrassed. I walked out of the store feeling upset and confused so I quickly turned around and walked back in to find that security guard. I asked if I could speak to his manager but instead his colleague came out and asked what the problem was. They admitted to me that I gave them signs of stealing and did apologize, but my point was that I did not steal anything so why approach me.
I am never going to visit any Target stores after this incident. I've never felt so humiliated and uncomfortable. If shopping around and looking at products is a sign of stealing then I've been a target all these years. I'm a loyal customer that has spent time and money but not anymore. Feeling discriminated at a place I have been going to all these years is something words can't describe and I hope this stops to happen.

I have always enjoyed Target and Target.com but my experience tonight with guest services has upset me.

The customer service rep said I had two options to get the unit at that price. I could either go buy from those vendors OR purchase the unit on Target.com, call them back at customer service, and they would refund my REDcard. So I did, bought it from them online. Twenty five minutes later, I call them back and explain the story. I talked with ** (maybe **) and he said he would find it online to confirm the price on the competitor's website and credit me the money.
We found the sites and he believed they were not the same units. I explained that they were the same units. We both looked at the same website (checked both product numbers) and he still was confused. I even pointed out the typo on target.com (one description says 5,000 BTU and other spot 6,000 BTU). I know there was confusion due to the wording of the description, but they are the same unit, they both have the same Model Number- Keystone KSTAW05B. He then started agreeing it was the same unit but needed to look more into and talk to his manager, ** then came on and we talked several minutes about the units but was still confused about it. She then tried to tell me it was different because of the language. After explaining that she could look at the model numbers of both units she would see they are the same units. She then tells me that she is unable to match that price because target.com does not price match.
I was blown away. Why was I told it once by the first rep? (Side note: I know I don't have a case number for that, I had ** look it up that call by my phone number, but she says she has no record of that call.) But then I was told again (by **) that he could match the price. We talked for 15 minutes about the units. Then I talked with manager, the first thing she says does not say is that "target.com doesn't price match", but we talk about the units. So that was essential the third time she could have mentioned that target.com does don't price match, but did not. Not until she realized they were the same units she tells me so.
I ask her how we can resolve this, she says she can't do anything. I say I want to cancel my order, she tries to tell me she can't, but then looks into. I told I was blown away, this is all over $30. They wasted my time, I was lied to, and she still can't make it right. I asked for her and his name and a case number.

So, I asked for a supervisor - she put me on hold, 12 minutes later I was still on hold and then the call dropped. I decided to email them. I got a generic letter back that did not even address my concerns. I wish I had purchased elsewhere. I will not recommend the store as they did not deliver as promised. Moreover, the customer service was awful.

Ordered a coffee table. Never received it had to reorder it. Target said they would give me free shipping for it to be expedited the 2nd time. That was a lie. Over $500 hold was put on my credit card. Then I get an email saying the coffee table would not be delivered till 9 days after the estimated delivery date. When I called to cancel it they said I couldn't and I would have to call the shipping company to refuse it. Then when the coffee table is delivered to Target 7-14 business days later I will be refunded. Horrible experience. Good to know Target is making interest off their mistake and I am paying it.

I purchased a bottle of Tide that was advertised to come with 6 rolls of paper towels. The cash register would not accept the coupon so a person was called to get the "right" package of Bounty which was not accepted either. This took 20 minutes etc etc. Finally a total--my bill was $175.31. I wrote a check using an account I've had since 1978. I checked my balance this morning and my account had around $5000.00 in it. Target's check service refused it without giving a reason. I called a manager who also called this company named Certegy in Tampa, Fla. She could not get a reason either but offered to let me apply for a Target credit card. She also offered to hold my purchases which had taken me 1.5 hour to choose. I was too angry by then and did not offer to go get cash or use my Visa card. I left the store after two hours with nothing. I will never shop there again!! Angry in Colorado.

I have never been one to leave a bad review for any business, usually if I'm disgruntled I'll just never go there, but honestly, I have had such an awful horrible experience with them I strongly advise you go elsewhere for your registry needs or daily shopping in general. Especially if you are doing online shopping. I will make this short and simple to read so you get the info without a huge long story of how bad it really was.
Baby registry was a mess, the in-store registry devices did not work properly and the girls at the customer service desk were not only clueless and careless, they were rude. (Green Bay Wisconsin Store.) I also never received a free gift for registering, which isn't a big deal, but if you're going to advertise it, you better hold to your statements. The store had very little to offer as far as baby goods went. Everything I wanted had to be ordered online. Which was a disaster for everyone who did so.
DO NOT ORDER ONLINE... I ended up buying a great deal of items that were still on my registry after my shower and found that it was a total mess. The company charged my credit card inaccurately in small increments and did small amount preauthorizations for days and days and it really messed up my debit card balance. They took money out that they shouldn't have, then put money back in and then took it out again. My bank was on the phone with them for well over 2 hours trying to sort it all out. Eventually I was told that I needed to watch closely because the Target team was positive it was normal... how one single order comes up as 15 different transactions is normal I will never understand.
After Target's reputation has been damaged by their inability to protect their consumer's information you would think they would take care and do things properly, but they didn't and I will not only never shop there again, I will encourage no one else ever does the same. Honestly, all Target seems to be anyway is a more expensive and less convenient Wal-Mart. The Target brand names aren't even that nice. It's all garbage. Clothing falls apart just as fast, everything is cheaply made. So couple the quality of service, with the shady practices of payment issues, with the low quality items, I honestly don't understand how they stay in business.

I had a major hassle with the customer service supervisor at the Elk Grove store on Laguna Ave. last evening. They won't accept a gift receipt when returning items purchased from the personal care dept. I don't like strangers to know about my personal care purchases, so I showed a gift receipt instead of a full receipt. They had a problem with that, because they said people buy these items with coupons. I read online that if you buy with a coupon, and return items, Target will give back the price you paid and the value of your coupon, in the form of a giftcard... So what difference does it make if you show a gift receipt or a full receipt?
The back of my Target gift receipt "we promise to attempt a return on every item purchased by scanning your receipt or packing slip, offering receipt lookup or a non-receipt end return or exchange with a valid form of Identification." None of that happened. They said the "promise doesn't count on a gift receipt." I ended up showing my full receipt, and they told me to return my items to the store that it was purchased at, which is 50 miles away. At that point, I called the manager an **, said he was a big liar, and full of crap. He then refused to take any of my returns, and I left...furious. That's how I experienced Target's customer disservice.

I have had my Target Red Card for over 10 years and have never maxed it out and have paid on time as I hate paying interest. This month I forgot. I got a nasty letter with the heading "This is an attempt to collect a debt" which was dated 3 days after the payment should have been received. In addition, my total debt is about 6% of my credit line. I would assume that I might get a reminder but not a nasty one as if I am a dead beat who does not pay debts. If Target is having problems with income as this letter suggests, making loyal customers who usually pay on time angry is not helping them.

I called back and finally got a manager, **, who told me there was nothing he could do, it was out of their hands. So not only could they not fix the problem, they couldn't offer anything to help the situation or make someone shop there again.

Never again will I shop here or recommend as a registry. Besides, Walmart has the same items but a lot cheaper!

This morning I purchased two car seats at a Target Stores with cash. On my way to another place my wife told me that she already purchased the car seats online. So I stopped at another Target Stores to return them that I was close to. I dragged them in and went to customer service. She scanned the receipt and the item and then said, "hold on a minute I will be right back." A few minutes later she told me that I can't return them to this store today as I would have to wait 24 hours or receive store credit. I said, "why not as I paid cash?" She explained that you have to wait 24 hours to return at a different store as the computers are not updated. She said I can go back to the other store. I asked to speak to a manager as I never heard of this before and it's not listed as a policy on the receipt or the policy board I was staring at.
The manager came up and was rude from the start and said that I needed to wait 24 hours and that is just the policy. I asked to speak to the store manager as she was being rude. The Asset Protection Specialist came up and said that I was being disorderly and that it looks like I am stealing so I need to leave. I got upset and said "Excuse me? You don't know a damn thing about me," and he said I needed to leave as I was being disorderly. Sure I said damn but that is after he accused me of stealing even though I have the receipt right there.
There was no apology, no concern, no "I know this is upsetting I am sorry," etc. just "leave the store." I asked the employee for customer service as I was lodging a formal complaint. While on the phone the police showed up and said I needed to leave and step outside. They made me hang up and then an officer started harassing me for my information, it looks like I am stealing, being disorderly. Earlier I asked for supervisor's name, store manager's name they refused to give me that. Even when I was on the phone with customer service they asked for zip code or store number, they refused.
Never in my life have I experienced something like this. The police asked me to leave and they were not going to process trespassing on me. Target Stores because of the actions of this store and employee will never see me again. I have lodged a complaint with the customer service, left a detailed message for store manager and may even go to the police to lodge a formal complaint against that team member.

Last night my mother and I went to use a few coupons at target. We are not extreme couponers, nor that great at it for the matter. I called to complain about a purchase. The manager put me on hold for 15 minutes only to come on and scold me about my couponing. He claimed he was "cool" with couponers and that he wanted us to shop there, and while I was very nice I think he was really rude. He told me that I could not purchase my next transaction with a gift card that was from my previous purchase 20 minutes before. I wasn't making money or getting overage. I was still paying $5 every time I made a transaction.
I called corporate and they told me that I was able to get 4gc per customer (which I had met) but my mother was also shopping with me and she had only gotten three that night (of which she gave me to me since we were in my car). We live in different households and the coupons did not say 4 per transaction per day (we made sure we were not abusing the system), the sign also did not say limit per customer, and I was not aware of this being in the policy. I know I will never shop at the target in Fresno on north riverside drive because it has been nothing but a headache If you don't want someone to coupon. Make a sign that you don't want to accept coupons and I will take us back to Walmart where they don't give us a nasty attitude.

Anyone can tell when they are being followed. I found an item that had not been opened and knew I purchased it from Target's. They told me that they didn't sell the item anymore. I said OK and walked away. I went to look at some other kinds and saw one I could maybe use. When I got in line to pay for the items, I changed my mind because I needed something different. I was detained by store security and escorted to customer service and demanded that I purchase the item. I was in shock and tried not to make a scene so I paid for the item.
I was not near the alarms. I was still in the store and blocked in by carts. I had to dump my previous purchases in a cart because I was born with only two hands. I was so distraught, distressed, falsely accused, libeled and defamed. I was sitting in a mental health office 4 days later. I couldn't eat, couldn't sleep put on medication.

On the outside of the box that the tab came in are a series of numbers the top one being the Model number. This number was not on the phone but the serial numbers matched, and also a second model number that did match. This is when they started treating me like I did something illegal. I did some research and from what I can tell those numbers are for the store and not relating to the tablet. When I pointed out that the serial numbers matched and that one of the model numbers also matched they treated me even more like a criminal and threatened to call security.
I'm wondering if this is something they do purposely to dissuade you from returning particular electronics. This will be the last time I purchase anything from Target even if they rectify the issue. I very rarely return my purchases, but I genuinely did not like this product and now I feel that I am being forced to keep it. I really hope that this was just 2 numbskulls and not a common store practice. The funny thing is, I was going to turn around and go spend even more money at the store. But, not now. If I do get this returned I will be taking my money somewhere else that's for sure.

I am writing this to inform you of my severe concern over recent events that have taken place due to Target's faulty security and shoddy, unhelpful, and frankly, unfriendly customer service. On April 11th, I happen to check my personal email and noticed several confirmations from a Target order for iTunes gift cards. The emails stated that a shipment is on its way, and e-cards shipped to my email from Target; one order $200, another $150 and another was $25. I noticed that they were addressed to my boyfriend and immediately called him to make sure he hadn't ordered any, which he had not. He hadn't placed the order and that's when we came to the conclusion that my Target account had been hacked. His bank has been made aware of this situation but we feel Target has a responsibility as well in this matter.
Not only was our personal (email) and bank security compromised and jeopardized but when I called to explain this situation to customer service I was made to feel as if I was somehow in the wrong, and honestly felt mocked and not taken seriously. To make matters even worse, when his bank, Dupont Community Bank contacted Target, they were told that it was because I signed up for some type of trial offer. I never signed up for anything nor have I ever even heard of Target offering a trial offer of any kind. I don't even know what kind of offer would have you purchase multiple iTunes cards on separate orders.
In light of the nationwide security breach that affected thousands of customers, I would think the Target Company would take great pains to assure that these types of mishaps do not occur and certainly take greater pains to ensure they are resolved quickly and empathetically by the customer service staff. This was not my experience and I am writing this letter to see that my issue is resolved now.
Again, in light of the credit card fiasco Target experienced recently - I am sure the media would be happy to air my grievance as a story that would do further damage to your already shaky reputation regarding security. Adding to that, the amount of disregard with which I was treated by the Target staff would likely guarantee the story would get healthy coverage on the news and in print. I have been trying patiently and diligently to resolve this issue for 20 days and counting and hopefully they will rise to the occasion of solving this problem - as no one else from the Target company has done thus far.

Tried to cancel an order within 5 minutes after I received the confirmation email for a Target order. Silly mistake, the item is going to a different address than I intended. I called them to cancel or reroute the order. 1-800-591-3869 was the number they offered in the email. The link they gave me to "check order status" does not have any option to cancel the order. The first rep said that I needed to call within 5 minutes, otherwise, the order gets submitted. Well, after being on hold, I was well past this time. They said that they can send a "return request" but it is NOT a guarantee that the item is canceled. They said that when the item goes to the shipper that I can "make arrangements" (their words, not mine) with them. I asked for a supervisor and the rep hangs up on me.
I called again and got a female rep, who confirmed that I needed to call within FIFTEEN minutes, otherwise there is nothing she can do. The system would not allow her to make any cancellation. I told her that the previous person hung up on me and that he told me it was five minutes. She hung up on me. Finally, I called and chose to talk to someone in the ORDERING department rather than "Customer Service", and the male rep repeated the "I can make a return request but there's no guarantee that it goes through". Then WHY even make cancellation an option? I told him to go ahead and asked him when I would know. He said that if it's successful that I would get the email for cancellation and if not, I'll get the shipping information and that I'll need to contact the shipper to cancel it there.
I took the "request for cancellation" option and we were able to at least finish the conversation without my being hung up on. As for customer service, these were the most infuriating conversations. There's nobody to escalate the situation, and there's no way for the rep to cancel an order within 5 minutes of placing it, even though the email says so. It's absolutely a horrible organization. Do yourself a favor and go shop at an organization that cares, because this one is not made up of people who do.

I was making a purchase in Target yesterday when the cashier asked if I wanted their "rewards card" to get 5% off my current and future purchases. That is the ONLY info she gave. I figured their "rewards card" was like many cards I have for other stores, where you swipe it when you make a purchase, and earn credits toward a discount that is later sent to you. She asked for my I.D. and a "voided check." I was surprised but figured this was for identity verification. She ran both through her register, then I swiped my credit card to make the purchase.
Imagine my shock when today I see that amount (almost $200) taken from my checking account, rather than charged to my credit card! It seems they tricked me into opening a debit card with them! NEVER were the words "debit card" or "using this check will authorize withdrawal from your checking account" spoken!

Whether it's due to me being an honest couponer and/or a minority, every time I walk into this particular Target, there is a supervisor named ** that will eyeball me until he sees me come up to the register and make sure that he is right there to see what I am doing & buying! He even goes as far as standing very quietly to hear exactly what I am talking to the cashier about! I truly believe this is due to me being a minority, Asian I may add. The reason being is because I am not the only Asian customer that he does this to. I have heard from many other Asians alike that's had the same or similar experiences with this specific supervisor.
Just a few days ago, while one of those friends were buying just a few bags of clearance Easter candy, this supervisor had the nerves to come up to the register while she was checking out to ask her what she does with all that! What do you think we Asians do with candy?!! And as you're walking out of the store, he will make sure that you know your being watched up to your very last step! I have complained to upper management, I have also called corporate about this supervisor. Obviously, nothing has been done because nothing has changed! I have never felt so discussed by someone! I only shop at this Target because it's convenient, seeing that it's only 2 blocks away.
If I have done absolutely nothing wrong, why should I, along with many others have to feel as though we are less than human, having to feel like nothing but criminals? I can assure you that whether I was to use coupons or not, I would not be treated in this way, had I been white and not a minority. Are we not in America, where everyone is equal?

The lines are always way too long. One time, I bought 5 boxes of cereal thinking I would get a gift card, since that's what the circular stated. When I went to pay for the cereal (after being in line for 20 minutes) the cashier acted like I had three heads for asking for the gift card. She said "These are not the cereal boxes for the offer." When I showed her the circular, she realized all 5 boxes qualified for the offer, but then said "Well if it doesn't scan at the sale price then I can't give you the gift card."
I go to the manager, and she rudely repeats the same thing, even after showing her the circular and then suggests I speak to customer service at the front desk. When I go there, they conceded to the fact that I was right about the boxes of cereal being the ones that qualify for the offer. However, since it would not scan at the sale price, they refused to give me the gift card EVEN THOUGH the ad says you get a gift card with the purchase. After wasting 30 minutes dealing with nonsense, I had to get a refund since they cannot abide by the policies on their weekly circular.
Round 2 of incompetence: I was charged a $20 fee for my Target Debit Card. When I spoke to customer service about the fee, they told me that I would have to pay $40, even though the Target website clearly showed I only owed $20. Instead of correcting their error, they went into the system and added an extra $20 charge. After refusing to pay the $40, they finally removed the incorrect charge THREE MONTHS LATER. And, of course, while trying to get the issue resolved I had rude customer service representatives talking to me like I'm garbage simply because I do not want to be incorrectly charged for things I did not pay for. Target is only good for their prices on food and some of their pants. Everything else is overpriced. And the customer service is terrible.

I was informed that the last 3 people I spoke with never escalated this case. As of today, 3/22 furniture still lost and Target.com will not refund me until their investigation has been completed. Very angry as they are throwing this mess on me.

I have been going to Target in La Mesa, California for 20 years. A Wal-Mart store has since moved into the same mall. Target has been giving nickel refunds for bringing your own bag. When I made a purchase last week the cashier told me I had to use a "woven" bag to get the nickel back. I had a heavy duty plastic bag. I told the cashier I always use this bag and received the refund. She said they have never allowed that and the only way to get the refund is to use one of their purchased bags or another store's bag. I contacted Target headquarters and was told to purchase one of their bags.
I thought the whole idea was to avoid putting another bag into circulation. I knitted a market bag and now I am going to see if they let me use that. I was willing to continue to shop at Target and this small refund was not much but it was a small incentive. Even using a "woven" bag didn't guarantee getting the refund. If I didn't ask for it the majority of the time the cashier "forgot" to credit my bill with it. Guess Target doesn't care if it loses a few more customers to Wal-Mart.

I had purchased a small piano for my daughter on Feb 07 on her birthday (AUD 15/-). It was her best toy so far and did not care to keep the bill and box as we thought it has to be good as it is from Target and looked good and solid. Unluckily, it stopped producing sound after a week and we were disappointed. But still decided to take it to the store to see if they can do anything. I took it to the same store, explained the situation to the lady at the lay-by counter and she asked for the Credit Card that I had used to make the payment. I gave her the card. She asked me to wait and try to find another one from the shelf.
I did not see any on the shelf so after waiting for approx. 20 mins (as she was serving other customers), I was asked that she will not be able to help me and I can just buy another one. I said, "Look you just told me that you should be able to look up based on the CC," but she said no. She embarrassed me in front of many other customers and I felt bad and left the toy there and left the store. I never expected stores like Target to treat their customers in this fashion. I would really appreciate if someone can help me with this. You can reach me on **, I am **. Please help! I know how good Target is and I still wanna continue shopping there thinking it's a great store to buy from. Note: The lady who served me did not give me her name but said manager's name is **.

I'm a senior citizen, shopped at the same Target on International Blvd since 2010, not only purchasing groceries for family of 5, doing my main household shopping, and filling SAME prescriptions for 5 years. Haven't a problem with the other employees, only the supposed pharmacist **. Target switches pharmacist too often, saw too many friendly, helpful, knowledgeable ones be transferred. Just when they get you and your meds straight, they are gone. Had no problems with any until ** came along. I get the same 6 scripts from my pain doctor every month, also have monthly refills on 8 others. Two are pain meds. As stated, no problem for over 4 years, until **!!
2nd month he is there he has issues with one of my pain meds, which my doctor had wrote the same script, very same way for years. My doc didn't fill in my address/age. So I wait 3 days for him to call and verify (which I had to call back several times to remind him). Following month, same thing, so I go to doc's office and his nurse writes it in, now it's different writing and has to be called in to doc again, and verified. 3rd month it was an insurance problem, which he didn't bother to even inquire about, again the nurse told me what to do. 4th month, he calls doc office again, 5th month he didn't have them in stock. Told the on duty pharmacist that I would be sending my scripts, all of them to another pharmacy, that I was tired of his BS every month. Which I did, and no problem other than a shortage 1 time, refilled a few days later.
** never called me or let me know when a script needed refilled, never bothered call the doctor. Was talking to him before he pissed me off so much about how to take the Vit B shot. Said he couldn't give it to me while on duty, but if I waited till he was off duty, would pull the curtain down and inject it into my rear, where supposedly it was the only place it was to be given. That info was so wrong. Over the next few months I checked on his alibi every month he gave for not filling my much needed pain med. He was right on the address only. Where other pharmacist filled it in for me, he refused.
So I have taken my scripts, and ALL of my shopping out of ANY Target. Daughter and I thought we would do some shopping in Target one day, he was on duty and gave us the evil eye, so we don't go back. If either shop at Target, it is in Port Orange, I'm happy with Wal-Mart and Winn-Dixie tho. If Target would listen to customers, especially long term ones, when they make a complaint, they might find out they can keep them. Spending over a thousand a month in scripts, and another thou on groceries, not counting additional purchases, may not be much for them to lose, at least that is how Target makes you feel, and no concern for your complaints. My money spends just as well at any store, and some of the deals are better.
I loved Target, but after being made to feel like I am a junky, they don't need my family's money on anything. They do need to take some money and retrain a few of the pharmacist in the local laws though, and how to give injections. Better yet, leave the pharmacist at the store for a year and let them help retrain ones like **.

On Sunday, March 1, at 12 o’clock I stood in line to one of the cashiers at Target in Harmar, PA. Elderly cashier kept fumbling with bagging and with the cash register. He was slow and inefficient. Finally it was my turn. The old man processed my merchandise but hasn’t noticed the new customer bar on the conveyor and processed a few items belonging to the next customer. Ordinarily, in any other store, this would be a little insignificant mishap. All it takes is a few keystrokes to reverse such little mistake, but not at Target. The old man didn’t know how to get out of this. He kept calling for help but nobody came.
Finally, a young lady came over but the old man unexpectedly and inexplicably left. He went to the entry area, grabbed a mop and began cleaning the floor. That seemed to be a function that he was more familiar than with running a cash register. A young lady kept yelling some questions to the old man, but he kept ignoring her. The lady left and I was left alone standing there. A man came over. I asked him if he is a manager. “No”, he replied, “I’m security.” I asked him to call a manager. The security man kept calling on his wireless intercom, but nobody came.
Eventually, a young man with a Trainee tag arrived to tell the security guy that the man he is calling is not there. After a while the manager appeared. They call him at Target a Job Leader. The Job Leader began by trying to tell me about his grandfather’s recent death. When I told him that all I want is to pay and to get out of there, he got really sore. Finally, I paid and left this store. Not a single apology. In fact it didn’t look like there was anybody who cared at all.
According to Bloomberg News, Target’s CEO, Brian Cornell is leading the shake-up of this troubled retailer. Mr. Cornell, tightening the belt and focusing on basics is certainly a very good idea. However, I think that better employee training and better selection of those who are entrusted with the supervision of the store should be your first and foremost priority. Today you lost me as a customer, tomorrow you will lose more. In fact, judging by the amount of complaints about your store on various websites, Target is already wondering through the Valley of Death. Very few retailers ever made it back from out there.

Like with most customers checking out they asked if I wanted to open a REDcard. I said yes for the 5 percent off and then following one month later never received a bill. Tried to pay online. They won't take credit cards or debit cards. I went into the store and said I'd like to pay and close my account. They still needed my checking routing number. I went online and read the reviews about Target REDcard, how it's a scam...They keep your routing and checking numbers and keep taking money out of your account, so no way was I going to to give them my information.
They wouldn't give my account REDcard info to the lady working at Target store to enter it in. They are such a scam. It's been 2 months...I have not received a bill and I talk to ya, call someone once a week to complain. I've had it with REDcard. It's been 2 months. I have not received a bill with REDcard. It is a scam. It's 2015 and they can't take a credit or debit card online...It's ridiculous. I want to sue them.

I bought some hair products that were on sale and decided against them and took them back to Target. I had some curtain panels as well but when the clerk scanned the two hair products she said that they did not match the receipt. I knew they were from Target as they were purchased the same day as the curtain panels. I explained where they were on the receipt but she said they were not their products and she wouldn't return them. She told me "OH OOPS you made a mistake I guess" and shoved them back at me. I was shocked and was way too tired to argue with her.
Why does this seem to happen at Target! It had only been a few days since purchasing these items - how do they change the numbers in their system so quickly. They make us the consumers feel like thieves! I understand that there are people that try to scam them but does that mean we all have to be treated that way!! This is how they lose customer and I spend a lot of money there.

I ordered a portable scanner to do a project over the upcoming weekend. My scanner was ordered on Tuesday. Target Online offers 1 day shipping via UPS so I opted for that ensuring I would get my scanner by the weekend and work on my project. When my item actually shipped 2 days later Target Online showed that I should get it by Friday but once I received the tracking number from UPS I saw it was shipped UPS Ground which is the slower shipping option and would not receive the scanner till Monday.
Needless to say I was not able to work on my project over the weekend to get it turned in by Monday but instead I will not receive the scanner until Monday because Target could not pay attention to a customer's order enough to make sure it was shipped as the customer requested. They refunded the money for the Express shipping and that's a great gesture and I suppose they think that is great customer service and pat themselves on the back but refunding my money didn't help getting my project done on time as I had hoped for.

I purchased 2 floor lamps online and used them for 4 months until one of the lamps suddenly began throwing sparks from the pole (not the receptacle -- the lamp!). I happened to be standing nearby and quickly unplugged the lamp. Upon inspection, I saw the cord that was inside the pole was damaged and had apparently made contact with metal. After a visit to the store and conversations with three customer reps on the phone, Target is refusing to either replace the lamp or offer a refund since it has been more than 90 days since purchase. They advised me to contact the manufacturer but refused to give me contact information for the manufacturer since it "was not their responsibility."
I reported the incident online as a customer safety issue and was contacted by a 4th rep who repeated the problem was not their responsibility. I asked if it would have been their responsibility if our house had caught on fire, and they answered, "No. You must contact the manufacturer. But if you'd used a Target credit card for the purchase, we would have covered it." Once again, I asked for a number or address for the manufacturer (which is not listed online) and they could not give me that information.
I am shocked at Target's callous approach to what could have been a very dangerous event due to a faulty product. And I am now "out" the $85.00 I paid for the lamp with no replacement.

Have gotten 3.00 charges as well several times from Target which they can not explain as well as can not explain why it is taking so long for the original refund from first order other than it's being processed.

February 1st, I ordered my daughter a Moroccan duvet cover. She had searched for the better part of 6 months for the perfect duvet cover and finally found it at Target Online. When I went to order it, her size, F/Q was out of stock so she waited and watched for over 5 weeks. It never came back in so she decided to order the K size. That was Feb 1st. I received a receipt indicating delivery date of 2/5-2/9. Later received an email indicating it had been shipped. After a week or so, no duvet cover. I checked the tracking and it said that it was awaiting a UPS label. Gave it another week or so (life gets busy and time flies by) - still nothing. Check UPS, still awaiting a label, send an email inquiring about it. No response. Call today, 2/22/15 and after dancing with the automated system for a while, finally a very rude man comes on the line.
He asks for all my info (again) and tells me that I ordered an item that was out of stock. I replied, "No, it was not out of stock when I ordered it." Again, he replied, "Well Ma'am you ordered an item that was out of stock." I then went through my paper trail date by date, line by line, proving that it was NOT out of stock when I ordered it but Target screwed up the shipping OR Target illegally indicated the item was in stock, causing customers to order it, taking the money from customers and then putting them on an indefinite wait list for whenever/if ever this item comes back into stock (F/Q size remains out of stock). So I replied, "It's one or the other."
He became very angry and hostile giving me an option of remaining on this 'wait' list or obtaining a refund. So I asked to speak with his manager mainly because I was upset and angry that we had spent all this money on items and wall colors that matched this duvet cover and after 2 months of work in her room, this angry man is going to be rude to me? I full well knew those were my only two options but darn it, I wanted an apology and the truth and my refund! Holy cow!! Did he become aggressive with me, demanding to know why I wanted to speak with his manager, I had no need to speak with his manager, he was telling me the truth, there was nothing any manager could do that he wasn't offering, etc., etc. This went on for quite some time with me calmly and simply repeating, "Please, I just want to speak with your manager, I do not owe you a reason."
Mid rant, I asked, "Are you telling me that I cannot speak to your manager?" Well humm no, but why, round and round we go again. Finally, I said either connect me now to your manager or I will hang up and call again and go directly to your manager. He transferred me. A ambiguous gentlemen then asked if he could help me, I explained the entire scenario, and how upset I was because this is the only big gift my daughter got for Christmas and because Target screwed up shipment, I am to blame? He pushed his buttons looking for whatever he could see and finally said, "Ma'am I do see we did have it in stock when you ordered it, you're correct, and I do apologize and I can't explain what happened but we no longer have that item in stock." Finally, this man named Carlos, got it or at least made me think he did. He then offered me a refund or wait list again but he explained he could not guarantee when or if it would come back in stock.
I choose a refund of course, telling him this was my first experience ever shopping online with Target and I will never do it again and I will share with everyone to beware of Target's online department because not only did you all take my money, but you never delivered the item. It never made it to UPS and no one ever let me know. That is horrible customer service and some kind of dishonest. It is so frustrating to me that companies care so little about their customers that they outsource customer service to make more money, avoiding minimum wage in the US creating a no-win situation for the customer service rep and the customer.
And it makes me even more angry that these customer servicemen, the first acted aggressive and hostile towards me, and the second while not escalating the situation did absolutely nothing to encourage me to try Target again, and I won't. So, buyer beware!! And how do I know my money was refunded?? So far, I have no amended receipt or proof of refund 8 hours later.

This complaint is in regards to the Grocery Department at the Lakeville Target. The shelves never looked stocked. The store is always out of items and when I say "No, I didn't find what I was looking for. Why are your shelves not stocked?" The response is always "We hear that all the time.” Really?! What is going on? Someone in your organization must be aware of this because the Lakeville Target parking lot never has as many cars in it as the surrounding Targets. I have to assume that your past customers are shopping elsewhere. Your numbers must indicate there is a problem.

I switched to Brightspot Mobile from another carrier last August. My service with Brightspot was good until January 21 when I was suddenly no longer able to dial, text or use the Internet on my phone. I borrowed a co-workers phone to contact Brightspot. After conducting a few tests I was told that I was probably eligible for a warranty exchange. All I had to do was mail them the phone (at my own expense), wait 2-3 weeks and then I would get a replacement phone. This is my only phone. I live alone and have health issues. I asked about getting a loaner phone under the circumstances and was told that was not an option. The rep was so rude that the person lending me the phone grabbed it from my hands so she could give the rep a piece of her mind. She asked to speak to a sup and was told "I'll see IF one wants to talk to you."
Over the course of numerous phone calls to resolve the issue, I was handed off to incredibly rude sups. One started mimicking my voice and accent. I asked him why he was being sarcastic. He said "that's how you're talking" as if that made his behavior okay. Whenever I would ask to be transferred to a supervisor's supervisor, I would be told that person was not available. I would ask for that person's name and when they would be available and was always told "I don't know their name." I tried asking for that person's direct extension and was told "oh, we don't have that." One rep told me he couldn't say when his sup would be in because it was West Coast time and I was on Central Standard Time.
Almost a month later, after many phone calls and several visits to the Target store where I purchased the phone, I suddenly got service just long enough to get a text from Brightspot saying that my auto pay didn't go through. That was because I cancelled the auto pay so I wouldn't pay for another month of no service. I had reactivated my four year old phone with my previous carrier so I would have service. I called Brightspot again to explain why I had not paid. They verified that my last day of service had been January 21st but that they couldn't resolve the issue until I paid my bill. I said I paid my January bill and got only ten days of service so why should I pay for February without some sort of guarantee that I would get service? I asked to speak to that person's sup and was left on hold for almost an hour. When I finally got through, that person gave me a month credit and the phone is now miraculously working.
I work in customer service as a phone rep. There were so many things the reps and sups did wrong that I finally told one sup that his performance on my call would have gotten him fired if he worked for my company. While I like my phone, I am seriously thinking of going with another carrier based solely on the way I was treated by customer service.

Waited the whole next day. The day after that I called to see what had happened. Almost 36 hours after they had promised me 24 hours. Still no one can tell me if it's cancelled or not and everyone acts like they hate their job. That night I see that it's shipping. Damn.

I ordered a refurbished Vitamix blender from target online and regretted my vendor choice for months to come. The turnaround time was very quick and I received the shipment in 3 days. The item arrived and that evening I picked up around 50 bucks of fruits and veggies to give the much anticipated tool a whirl. I started the machine and nothing, soon I realized that the blender I received was broken. The receipt indicated that the item was returnable in store but the refurbished vitamixes are not sold in store. So I called their customer service to evaluate my options fully willing to put down another $400 just so I could get a new blender fast. The first person who answered the phone had an accent that was so difficult to follow and I was so unsure of what he was saying but he soon informed me that the call had to be transferred to another department but no one answered and the line got disconnected.
My 2nd call was answered by a helpful rep who informed me that I could either return to store or by UPS and I asked for a replacement blender. She said that the blender was no longer available for sale. I saw the same on their website in a different color and she informed me that exchanging is not possible with a different color. So I decided to return my broken one at the store next day and order a new one online again. At the target store, the person at the return counter was unable to perform a return as the order would not show up on their system. I waited for 10-15 minutes for someone to come over and help her, maybe a manager. Manager told me that it was not a store-returnable purchase even though the receipt said otherwise. The original employee called the online store hoping for a manual override that would allow her to process the return.
After 10-15 minutes of waiting she finally got through and they were of no help either. She requested a manager who eventually wanted to talk to me. I had already spend an hour at the target store on a snowy day and I was starting to get frustrated. The manager explained that a new blender was being sent to me and hence I was unable to complete the return in store. He wanted me to mail the blender back to them. I questioned how that is possible if they were out of replacement black blenders and he explained that I will receive one at the end of March i.e. 2.5 months from the date. I expressed my unhappiness and he said that I had no other choice.
After 15 minutes of back and forth I asked him to cancel the replacement and requested a refund. He set up a UPS pick up for the next day. He apologized and offered me a gift card for my troubles. I was appalled, losing almost 1.5 hours on a Friday night just to return a broken shipment, insanity. But the helpful employee at the store apologized profusely and I am thankful for her kindness.
So finally the item was picked up by UPS the following day and I could track that it was accepted by Target 2 days later. I decided to wait 2.5 weeks before checking whether I had received my refund and guess what, no refund. I called them again and the person who answered the phone asks me whether I actually returned the item. I asked him to check if they had received it and of course they had and I was at a loss as to why I was questioned if they had the option to check this information on their system. He transferred me over to a specialist, who told me not to fret as refunds take 7-10 days after the item is received. On explaining that it has been over 18 days she said that the case would be transferred for investigation to another department and that it would take another 7-10 days. I cannot wait for this nightmare of a transaction to end.
Target should be ashamed of their infrastructure being such a large corporation in today’s world. The customer service experience from this one transaction will ensure that I will not shop at Target again. In today’s day and age I can buy almost anything online with vendors like Amazon that provide amazing customer service and hassle-free returns. It is a shame to see a brand that claimed to be "high quality" slide this way. I did receive a $25 gift card but this is truly does not make up for the poor experience and the $400 they have held on for over a month.

Moreover, in both of my two phone calls, they keep telling me to wait longer before they take any action (refund or reshipment), assuring me that the item is moving even though there is no tracking and I have confirmed separately with UPS that the item doesn't appear to have shipped.
The representatives tell me they have some separate Target site they can log onto. Even though the rep I spoke to yesterday couldn't actually get onto the site because her computer was "too slow," most likely because she was probably located half way across the world, she still seemed to magically know that yes, my package is on its way and she is positive it will be here and I must wait longer before they will do anything about the fact that it should have been here long ago and that the UPS site, which is usually very reliable about updating tracking, shows absolutely no movement whatsoever. Not sure I believe this is anything more than a delaying tactic and I don't know how I'm going to get this resolved, especially since it's charged to the Target card so who knows if I can even dispute the charge they already placed on my card like I would with a regular credit card. They are really the worse to deal with. Buyer beware.

I bought a mirrored glass coffee table from Target, and about 3 months in, the mirrors on the legs fell off. I would have repaired myself, however, the adhesive that was used by the manufacturer to glue the mirrors seeped through to the outside leaving stains and left bits of flaky paint and chips of glass. On top of that, the mirror edges are sharp and dangerous and could cause serious injury to a pet or small child. I called Target online to try and return it, but because of the 90-day return policy, they said they could do nothing. They said I could contact the manufacturer myself and try to return that way, but then could not give me the contact information for the manufacturer. I escalated this and asked to speak to their manager on the phone whose name was James, and he further said there was nothing he could do, even after I pushed back and said the product was defective and unsafe and should be Target's responsibility.
I asked him to help me, and after putting me on hold for a few minutes, he came back on the line and pretended not to hear me. I did not have my phone on mute and he continued to talk as though he could not hear me, giving me the manufacturer's phone number and essentially saying this was my problem to solve, then he hung up. This is NO way to do business and after being treated like this, I will no longer shop at Target. If a company sells DEFECTIVE, UNSAFE products, they should be held accountable. Seriously disappointed in a retailer that I was a loyal shopper to.

I ordered an item on 1/12/15. The online system somehow reverted to an old delivery address and when I contacted Target, I was told that I could not change the address. Instead, I changed the delivery address with UPS (for an additional $8 fee). The delivery date was set for 1/15/15. I received an email on 10:07 pm that day that my package had been left at my front door at 10:00 pm. It was not.
I contacted UPS immediately and was told that I would have to contact Target to resolve the issue. When I called Target, I was hung up on by the first agent I spoke to. I called back and was told that I would have to wait 3-5 days to file a complaint about the package. I asked to speak to a supervisor and the supervisor told me I would have to wait 10 days to file a complaint and that I would be given a $5 gift card for my trouble and a refund if I didn't receive the package since the package still may or may not be delivered.
If it were delivered in that time and I decided I did not want it, I would have to pay the return postage. When I asked why the website stated I would receive my package on 1/15 when Target obviously knew that was likely not be the case, the supervisor got really nasty. I will not order from Target online again.

I purchased a gift online on January 2, 2014 at approximately 10am. Less than 1 hour later I decided to cancel the gift. Of course Target gives you absolutely NO instruction anywhere on their website on how to cancel an order. After two attempted calls to customer service call centers in either India or Mexico, I blew my lid. Neither CSR could speak English. Third call I demanded to speak to a supervisor within the U.S. A very nice, articulate man was finally on the other end. He said it was too late to cancel (what? An hour after placing the order?), but he would put in a "request to cancel". The item was out of stock online so there would be a good chance it would've cancelled. Sound familiar folks?
Less than 15 minutes later I receive an email stating "your order has shipped." Really, you guys found the item, pulled it and slapped a UPS code in record time with the hundreds of orders you get daily? Wow. I'm impressed. NOT. JANUARY 7, the item finally received the UPS code for tracking. That's 4 days after it was ordered and in plenty of reasonable time to cancel. While I can appreciate policy, as a consumer, I cannot appreciate being lied to to avoid losing a sale. Terrible and dishonest customer service from such a large retail chain. Shame on you Target.

Ordered a stick vacuum cleaner in mid-December. The last date of the estimated delivery was 23 Dec. UPS tracking email was confusing with an 18 Dec stating it has arrived in Hebron, KY and a 19 Dec ready for pickup by UPS...then it stopped updating. Emailed Target but no response. Emailed UPS but no response. Called Target on 6 Jan. Customer service said they can't figure out where the item is and neither can UPS. I asked to be refunded the charge. They said yes and would send an email confirmation.
Email confirmation said they would refund my money once I returned the product (before 4 April). That would be the product I never received and they can't find but they can assure me it wasn't delivered. I was also told I would receive a gift card for my troubles that would have a link for it on the email. That didn't happen. I also dialed the customer service number six times before giving up and calling the gift card branch and asking to be transferred to customer service as their number did not work for me.
Someone really needs to close down Target Online services. I have never had good luck but usually it is because they accept orders for products they don't actually have to ship out. I've waited 60 days for some products. This current problem will ensure I use Amazon Prime anytime I'm thinking about Target.

My daughter bought the water bottle pictured below at the Target in Battle Creek, MI. The label said backpack friendly and leak-proof flip lid. She put the water bottle in her backpack with her laptop and the bottle leaked and ruined the laptop. We had to pay for data recovery and a new laptop, over $2,000. After going back and forth with both guest services representatives and the manufacturer's rep for months, Target said the manufacturer was liable and the manufacturer said they were not liable. I have been a Target customer for years and calculated that I've spent over $11,600 at Target stores in the past two years alone in the US. So much for goodwill towards loyal customers. You would think they would at least offer some sort of gift card or credit on my Redcard for all the turmoil and loss this caused to a loyal customer. I will be cutting up my Redcard and not shopping there anymore.

Called the Target in Greenwood Indiana on November 25th to make sure they had the Frozen comforter in stock as it showed on line. I was needing to buy several as I was shopping for a charity tree that I had pulled several names from. When I arrived at the store, I found several comforters on the shelf. I placed them in my cart and pushed them to the front customer service desk. I asked the lady if I could leave the cart there while I finished shopping, as the cart was full. When I arrived back to the customer service desk, there were several employees waiting for me there. As I walked up to get my cart, a young woman walked up to me and grabbed the cart out of my hands. She stated that she could not allow me to purchase the items as they were in the black Friday ad.
Standing in disbelief, I commented to the lady that it was Tuesday, and that the item was on the shelf. I commented that if the item was for black Friday, then it should not have been on the shelf. I commented that I called before I came and that I was willing to pay full price for the item, yet she was wanting to take it away from me and sell it on Friday for almost half the cost. I asked for the manager, and she stated that she was the manager. I asked for a district manager’s name and number as well. I was told that his name was Salim. I asked for a last name and number, but was told that information could not be given to me. I was told that I could call the customer service number.
First I must say that even Wal-Mart offers the district manager’s name and number. Also I must state that I did leave the store and called the customer service number immediately where I sat on hold for over 15 minutes, only to be told that there was no one that could help me at that time, and to call back in the morning. (Seriously) Therefore all being said, Target has lost its customer service edge. I found Wal-Mart to provide better customer service than Target during the 2014 holiday season. How sad is that. Maybe that is why Target is needing to start closing stores in 2015?

All I wanted was to cancel my order. So I call again on New Year’s Eve, and they tell me they can’t locate a manager to do a refund. They gave me a case number and said "call tomorrow."
So I call the next day and first the lady gets my info and transfers me to a manager. So he tells me that he can't do anything for 9 business days! I argue with him just wanting my order cancelled. He actually hangs up on me! So I call back 4 more times, keep getting transferred over and over. Finally a lady says she is getting this taken care of and going to transfer me to a manager for approval, lol! So nobody answers. She explains they aren’t available after 10pm. OMG I had been on the phone for over an hour trying to get this done, which I started my call at 9pm. She gives me another case number and says "call back tomorrow"!
I had enough with all this! She tells me there is nothing she can do and couldn't locate manager - explaining all this while in the background they are laughing!

When I moved into a new apartment I ordered a living room chair and small dining set from target.com. I used the address and apartment number that was written on my lease as the delivery address, but later found out the apartment number was wrong. When I contacted Target to straighten the matter out I was told there was nothing they could do to change the shipping information. The customer service operator essentially said that Target processes so many orders that they can't keep track of all of them and if anything I should just let my neighbor know to expect my furniture at their apartment.
When I did finally receive everything I discovered the dining set came with duplicate left legs for one of the chairs, instead of a left and right leg. Since I had already assembled most of the set I called Target customer service again and was told Target has no responsibility to ensure the quality of the product they sold and I should contact the manufacturer to rectify the situation. When I refused to accept this the operator finally agreed to look into the situation further and put me on hold for several minutes. When she came back on the line she claimed she couldn't hear me anymore and then disconnected the call.
Of course I called back again, and was furious. I tried to remain calm when the next operator picked up my call. She at least seemed to make an effort to look into the situation, but ultimately told me my problem was too advanced for her department and I would have to call back the next day because the only department capable of handling my issue was closed. By then I was done dealing with Target customer service and ended up taking the partially assembled dining set back to an actual target store for a refund. Not only did I find most of the people I dealt with over the phone to be rude, but they also had zero sense of how to deliver good customer service. I will never order anything from target.com again.

On Thanksgiving, I ordered two copies of Mario Kart 7 for the 3DS on sale using Target's web site. The web site showed that there were plenty of copies in all of the stores in my area. Mind you, the stores were closed on Thanksgiving. Target immediately put an authorization on my PayPal account in the order amount so as far as I was concerned, these two copies were mine and paid for. Later that evening, I received an email stating the the store had run out of copies (why did they sell my copies of the game I had already paid for?). After battling with customer support (it was insanely difficult to talk to anyone without being disconnected, waiting hours on hold, etc.), I communicated with a representative who told me to go ahead and place another order for the games, give them the order number, and they would apply a discount so I was paying the same amount as I did on Black Friday (roughly $30 on sale, over $60 now).
So, I did this. I waited a while for the games to be delivered over mail. I also waited for a discount or refund be applied to my PayPal transactions. After seeing nothing being accomplished, I battled with their customer service again to understand what's going on and get something accomplished. Every time I called, they were extremely confident ("trust me") that the situation was going to get taken care of. At one point, a customer representative offered to refund me nearly $60 (he said refund -- not gift card).
Many conversations, explanations, etc... later -- I am left with two "E Gift Cards" that total around $30 and an email response stating "I'm sorry, but we aren't able to offer any other options for this situation." HOWEVER, at some point, Target took it upon themselves to charge my PayPal account an additional $0.01 and an additional nearly $18 without any authorization. At this point, I have paid over $80 for two games which should have cost around $30. Since Target refuses to remedy the situation, I have opened up actions with the BBB over this whole ordeal as well as PayPal on the fraudulent (unauthorized) charges. I would never, ever recommend shopping with Target unless you're in there paying cash, save your receipt, and don't mind receiving a Gift Card when things don't go as planned.

I am an avid Target consumer. This Christmas I was at Target almost every other day purchasing food, toys to give away, and presents for family. Unfortunately, with so many purchases, I was unable to locate the Target receipt and was given no activation receipt. I bought a Target Gift Card for my niece this Christmas in San Ramon, California and charged the amount to my Target REDcard Credit Card.
My niece tried to redeem her Target gift card today and was told there was a zero balance. The Target cashier checked the balance twice and it was still a zero balance. My niece contacted me today (day after Christmas) before noon and conveyed the disappointing news. I called the Target REDcard credit card to find if Target itemized my purchases so that could discover if I was charged for the gift card or if the gift card was activated. I was told they do not have an itemization of my purchases so cannot tell me if I had purchased a Target gift card.
Target Redcard credit card services told me to call the Gift Card department. The Target gift card services department told me to ask my niece to scratch off the silver part behind the card so they could check the balance of the card. This will look like as if she used the card. If Target store already checked the balance then I do not understand why we would have to scratch off the silver part behind the card to check the balance. I was hoping that if I purchased a Target gift card with a Target credit card that Target would have details on when/what was bought. If Target can identify purchase details, I'd want to them to investigate my account.

She said Micro Center was not on the list and she would not honor the price match even though it was honored 29 minutes earlier. She called manager and he asked what the price was. Manager refused to honor price match because he did not like the price. The customer service rep treated me as if I was a thief trying to steal something.

On Dec 8, 2014, I placed an online order with Target.com (Crosley Turntable). Credit card was charged on Dec 12 and package was "transported to UPS for shipment" with an estimated delivery date of Dec 17. I was given a UPS tracking number which was extremely handy on Dec 19 when my package was nowhere to be found. Turns out that my package never left Target's warehouse and this morning they "cancelled" the order because they are now out of stock! How can they charge your account and give you a UPS tracking number when your package never leaves their warehouse? Bogus business tactic Target.. never again! Oh and Merry Christmas. You just ** mine.

Recently I have had some not so pleasant experiences with target. I purchased a 50 ct box of ornaments for $15 and started decorating my to discover many of the ornaments were damaged. Either dented, scratched, missing color, glitter, etc. My tree probably has about 25 of the 50 on it. Customer service says, "Oh just exchange them." Well I went back to do grocery shopping and decided to check them out again and inspected the boxes. Well pretty much every box had damaged ornaments. So what would have been the point of exchanging them? The rep wasn't getting it so I took it as a loss. I wasn't going to take all the ornaments off and have the tree just sitting there undecorated.
Issue number 2. Saw the brand big slice fruit pouches on cartwheel for 50% off so decided to take a trip out to get some because my daughter loves them. Got to the store and score! They were also on temp price cut. Purchased them on Dec 18th. Went to open one up today and checked the exp. date because I was going to feed them to my daughter and good thing I did because the exp. date was Dec 16th. Two days passed and they stayed on the shelves. Was this a coincidence? They were on cartwheel and price cut because target wanted them gone and thought they could trick some people??? That's a bit shady.
Number 3. Went today to purchase a toy for my daughter for Christmas because it was on sale. Checked my closet store. Yes! In stock. No, just kidding. Got to the store and none on the shelf. Asked someone to look in the stockroom for me. He led me to the aisle they are located and refused to go look in the back. So I found another employee and he looked it up for me. I'm told they had 3 on the shelves. And one in stockroom. The employee was dumbfounded when he led me to the aisle to find there were none there. He called the stockroom and they say yeah we have one. Well it never made its way out to me. Now I don't know if they were purposely not selling this because it was ringing up $35 less than the online price because it was supposed to be salvaged. So I went to another target that had it "in stock". And the exact same thing happened. I don't know what the issue is lately but I will definitely not be returning to target until after the New Year. Seems like the holidays got these employees and reps in a frenzy!!!

On 11/26/2014, I ordered a Wii U Console on Target.com. On 12/1/2014, I received an email notification that my package had been delivered. When I arrived home, I didn't have a package so I contacted Target Customer Service. I was advised that sometimes these notifications go out early and to call back by 12/4/2014. When I didn't receive the package by 12/4/2014, I called back and opened an investigation with Target who was suppose to call me back. I didn't receive a callback so I contacted Target Customer Service again on 12/6/2014 to discuss my situation. It was then I was advised that in Target.com's Terms & Conditions it states that, "the risk of loss for and title to products purchased on the Site passes to the purchaser upon delivery to the carrier" so it is not their policy to refund or replace the missing item. I immediately called UPS to open an investigation with them.
The UPS Customer Service representative advised me that if they are unable to find the package in 8 to 10 days they will most likely refund Target for the missing merchandise and shipping costs. When I called back and demanded to know why it's Target's policy not to refund or replace missing merchandise when they're most likely getting a refund from UPS, I was escalated to a supervisor who assured me that Target would help once the UPS investigation was complete. I called back on 12/18/2014 to find out the status from Target. Once again, they quoted their policy not to refund or replace missing merchandise. The customer service representative refused to provide corporate's phone number. She refused to provide me with the investigator's name, email or phone number, she refused to escalate me to a supervisor and only was willing to provide me with a PO Box that I could write a LETTER to. It's seven days till Christmas and my Wii U Console is still missing. I have no idea at this point if Target is even going to give me a refund or replace the item even after UPS finishes their investigation.

They have stolen $600.00 from me for an item they supposedly sent to me but I never received and now they will not refund me because I have no proof I didn't receive it and the shipper UPS said they did deliver it. So they get away with stealing my money because whenever I call them, they say there is nothing they can do and refuse to give me any help! I have even hand wrote a letter and mailed it to the executives of corporate in hopes they could do something, like use the insurance every company has these days to help me get my item or money back but they ignore me and are no help!

This is the worst holiday shopping experience I've had. I ordered this item on November 26th and the gift is still missing. Both UPS and USPS tracking status say it was delivered on Dec 3rd. However, the package did not reach its destination. Target customer service suggested that I call USPS to try to find it. I explained that this was ordered as a Christmas gift and that I can't ask my relatives to track their own gift but Target refuses to issue a refund/credit. The only solution offered is to wait until the 17th at which point it will be too late to get a different gift and have it delivered on time for the holidays. This is my first year buying Christmas gifts at Target and it will be the last. I wanted to take advantage of the free shipping promotion but is not worthy if the delivery is unreliable.

As much as I appreciate that I was able to score a $229 value camera on a sale for $99, I am quite angry at Target now because when I went to buy the protection plan, let's just say selling a plan based on what you paid rather than the value will have plenty of people screwed. So now if my new camera needs replacing, I will only get $99 for it, and it would have to pay over $100 additional to replace the thing. What the heck is that about? I have now sworn to never buy another product from Target that might need a protection/replacement plan because clearly I will be screwed big time if I ever actually needed to replace it under their plans.

I have purchased Apple iPad Air 2 on exciting holiday time in Target with $499 ($359 item price + $140 e-gift card). I wanna gift and my sister preferred some other item so I decided to return the item and walked to store. Surprised with their words. They can refund only item price $359, not gift card amount, and they suggested me to call customer service. I was hoping this will sort out with customer service. The customer service looked at my order and even they said the same - cannot refund the gift card amount. Where I'm expecting full refund for my purchase. I know in this country, every merchant put more than 100% efforts for customer satisfaction.
I lost patience with customer service and requested the e-gift card amount also credit on my card. After they put my call on hold couple of times to check status and finally they acted like they were not able to hear me on call, they said, "Hello, hello, hello," and disconnected by customer service. I was very angry on how Target treat customers. Simply they are holding my 140 bucks and they are enforcing customers to purchase in their store which is not at all fair.

My fiance was treated like garbage by head of security in Target in Kent, WA yesterday. We came in earlier in the morning excited to buy things for our new apartment, and I grabbed the wrong size of sheets after looking at 2 different colors. They are Nate Berkus sheets. We bought lots of other things, and dropped $500 dollars shopping that day. We got home, and realized the sheets were for a full bed, and not a queen after trying to put the sheets on our bed. We had already thrown out the pillow box with the barcode because we did not plan on returning or exchanging sheets. It's an honest mistake.
After going back to Target in Kent, at the returns desk, the entire staff was extremely unprofessional, rude, and made us feel like criminals. The returns woman said that the sheets on our receipt were a different kind and not Nate Berkus that we were trying to exchange. She said they were something like Cristo sheets. The item number from original receipt is 062181161 which I can pull up on Target.com as the Nate Berkus sheets. This was nothing WE did, this was Target's error, for probably coding the Nate Berkus sheets wrong. The woman then called security. The security guard (who was a tall and thin man with a red Target jacket) came in with such an attitude about him, like we were trying to get over on something. The security guard argued that the sheets are not the same sheets. The security guard continued to argue loudly with my fiance and even got so close to him, it made me fear what would happen next.
My fiance said, "So are you telling me I am out almost 50 dollars?" The security guard replied, "Guess so." That shows he doesn't care about his customers, or the job. We would not leave without a fight. The security guard then said he would check the security cameras because he didn't believe we were there earlier. I could not believe this man.
As the security guard left to check the camera footage, he took our receipt with him. Another woman who works in returns (an older Asian woman), runs up and asks us for our receipt. I said the security guard took it, she then got frantic and said, "YOU DON'T HAVE A RECEIPT??" I got louder and said "DID YOU HEAR ME? THE GUARD TOOK IT WITH HIM!" She looked at the sheets we were trying to return and said, "Did you wash these?" I said no, because I did not, she then glared at me, and said, "you washed them." I was boiling at this point.
Ten minutes later after waiting, a different security guard comes back, (short white man with a baseball cap and a dark beard) and says okay everything checked out, and we can do the exchange. The returns woman looks at me and says, "We just have to be sure sometimes." No apologies at all to either of us. I was so insulted. I called the Store Manager later to report this, his name is Jordan, and he also did not seem to care. I am very disappointed in Target. I have been shopping at Target for a long time, recommending it to a lot of people for different things, and even choosing Target over other home furnishing and shopping stores. This has now changed.
I even gave Target another chance after the incident last weekend, where we also went to Target in Kent WA, and a woman with short hair, younger Asian lady helped us in the store, but we were looking to buy a Samsung LCD 55 inch TV that was displayed. She said bad news, they only have the display at the Kent Target, but to go to the South Center Target because they have 2. We drove out of our way, for Target South Center to say they are also out of stock.
I always felt like Target and Walmart were very similar but Target had good customer service, boy was I wrong. I went and got my TV cabinet from Walmart the same day, and they were so nice, and loaded it into my car. I found a new Target. You lost me as a customer.

I called Target Online, and was told that they would not reship my items to me until they received the wrong items back, and that it would take over two weeks to process the issues. I asked them for a shipping label, and they said they would email it to me, but that it would be a regular shipping label- so another week at least to even get the item returned to them. I asked them for an expedited shipping label, and was told that they didn't have the capacity to send that to me. I asked them to refund me my money immediately since they didn't send me the right items, and they said that they couldn't until I returned the wrong items. I asked if I could do this more quickly at a store, and they said that they could not. Finally, after talking to a manager, they promised to send me a $10 gift card. While I appreciate that, I am very frustrated by Target's order system and response to the problems.

Their management seem very inexperienced, although I have opted to shop anywhere else due to the distance of this Target store I must say that every time I visited this target store it was filthy. Also Target should not try and become a grocery store. The food there seems to be expired or close to expiration. Many times I have attempted to buy yogurt there and almost 90% of the yogurt on the shelf was expired or would be expired within that day. Aside from not having the fresh grocery, every time I go there for something specific they would always be out of stock and their employees would not check back for it or even suggest looking at a different target store for me.

So ordered a $100 gift card from Target online on December 7th at around 7:00AM PST. Gift cards have got to be the simplest transaction. Simply associate a gift card number with a transaction amount in a back end system. Can be totally automated and completed in seconds, then stuff the card in an envelope with a printed sticker. I then get an email on December 11th starting with: "We're sorry, but we may not be able to deliver your item(s) by the original estimated delivery for your order (Order #**) placed on 12/07/2014. New estimated delivery date(s) are included below. The new estimated delivery date is 12/19/2014 12/23/2014." Given I need to mail this gift card out, getting it delivered to me on Tuesday December 23rd is not an option. So I do what any normal online shopper would do when faced with a vendor that cannot fulfill an order in a reasonable period in time. I attempt to cancel the order so I may deal with a new vendor that can get the job done.
Unfortunately TARGET had decided that giving you the ability to cancel an order that they have delayed is not in their best interest, so they do NOT give you this option from their website (because that would just make sense if the goal was customer satisfaction, and we all know it's not about that!). So in calling target customer support I am informed by an automated message that they are experiencing high call volumes, and are as well dealing with a technical problem causing calls to sometimes be dropped when transferring.
After waiting on hold for quite some time a person with a heavy East Indian accent answers the line. After explaining the problem, and that I need to cancel my order, I am informed that they are Unable to cancel my order, and that they can Only place a cancel request in for the order. What kind of absolutely bogus system is this. How can this company be allowed to operate like this? I will never do business with Target again, online or in person!

UPS shows the item being picked up on 11/29/14 and nothing after. I called UPS 5 times was informed it was on its way but they didn't know where it was since the target truck still had it. I then filed a complaint with UPS since I was told different things from different representatives. I talked to a supervisor and he told me to call Target. I call Target and they tell me UPS has the package in their possession. At this moment, I am now frustrated because no one is taking responsibility. Everyone instead is pointing the finger at each other.
After speaking to one of your supervisors, he informed me he will send a replacement package that will get to me by Friday. Since I've been told different things by each new representative, I didn't believe the supervisor so I called the next day. The next day, the rep tells me she doesn't know when the package will get to me. I asked for a supervisor who also confirmed she couldn't guarantee when the replacement package would be delivered. I then asked her to just keep the package and refund my money. She told me within 24 hours, I would get an email confirming the order was canceled. When I didn't get the email, I called today, spoke to a supervisor and was then told, "Oh well, your package will be delivered tomorrow and you have to reject it. Then once we get it in our warehouse, you will get the refund."
Now this is 3 different SUPERVISORS telling me different information. Why didn't the lady yesterday tell me I have to reject the order first??????? Why did she leave me to believe I would get my refund in a timely manner? Why, if after I have had trouble with my package and you couldn't even find my package, do I have to now trust the package will be returned in a timely fashion before getting my refund??? Why do supervisors YOU hired and promoted not have consistent information??? This will be my first and last time dealing with Target.com. Would rather pay more at Amazon and deal with nice consistent customer service than inconsistent customer service from Target. I am shocked by how you do business online especially being it's 2014.

Your employees at the store seem to be happier than Walmart, you give back to the community, etc. I really had high hopes for Target but this online experience was the worst I've ever received. I'll continue to purchase from Amazon.

I am very disappointed with Target customer service and the management overall. I have ordered a dining set that had to be delivered on November 19, 2014 and I did not get it. I received a wrong item and contacted their office to exchange it - nothing had happened. I returned whatever trash I received and nothing happened again. When I called their office to ask where my money was they just started to process my refund only!!!! After I called - thought they received the item back seven days ago. Their management promised me to wait for the money 7 business days after the returned package would be delivered by Target. So I was deceived again by this terrible company and I am very upset. They spoiled my Thanksgiving Day and now I still continue to struggle with them. I have just contacted their representative who suggested me to contact my bank for refund? Is that normal???? Why should I contact my bank if you are withholding my money??? I demanded on getting my money back as soon as possible. Otherwise I have to resort to some other sources of justice.

I went to order a Razor Electric Scooter - E175 Red on Saturday November 29th. The sale price was $90 for the scooter and $7 for the replacement parts warranty. The scooter was not available online so I tried to choose the San Francisco West store to pick it up where it was available. When I clicked on "pick up in this store" the website stalled. The gear kept spinning and spinning but I never made it to the payment page. I tried at least 3 times to get this to work by starting the process over again.
I figured I would just wait until the next morning when hopefully Target got its website working again. When I went back the next morning, the price had gone up to $131.09 and the parts replacement went up to $17. I was of course very upset to not be able to get the lower sale price because Target.com was not working - it was in no way my issue that I was not able to make this order.
When I called to get help, no one was able to help. Because I could not show them the shopping cart with the lower price (because Target's website stalled and never took me to this screen - if it had worked I would have been able to check out on my own) they said there was nothing they could do. I also sent an email to guest relations and all they would give me is a $5 adjustment.
I am shocked Target does not have a better way to handle customer issues (for example, letting supervisors use their judgment in coming up with a solution versus making them follow rules that do not apply in every situation). It's almost as if they don't believe their customers. In the long run, Target (especially Target.com) will start to suffer for poor customer service just like it did last year when customers' information was hacked. I am still trying to resolve this fairly so would love to hear from someone at Target who has the power to make this right.

Target debit visa gift cards - When I tried to use 2 of these gift cards on the website along with my Target credit card to purchase a crib, I found that I could not do so. You can only use these cards if it cover the entire cost. I had to find this out after I made 4 different phone calls to different Target departments. Why does this store sell items that are so difficult to use on their website?

To whom it may make a mistake to buy anything from Target store. I make a mistake to buy an iPad and have a "fishing" gift card $140. I open the box to check to see if it has an iPad inside (a lot a rumor about Target lately). Then I see the ad at Micro center have a similar with the price lower. I bring iPad back to Target to return, THEY REFUSE because it is open... Even the manager confirm that they can not accept (store in Richardson square). BE CAREFUL TO DEAL WITH TARGET, THEY'RE GOING TO TARGET AT YOU...

I purchased a pea coat today in Lancaster Ohio. I did not realize until I got home they had charged me full price of 74.99. It should have been 44.99, as advertised. I purchased it with my red card. I am disabled and my daughters took me. It is the 1st time I have ever been in a Target. We live over 70 miles away and there is no way possible I will be able to return to the store in the near future. I have called Store Experience 1-800-440-0680, twice, and sent an email with a response to return it to the store. I simply want them to look up the receipt, and credit it to my REDcard account. I can't get anyone to do anything. They keep telling me that if I had purchased it online they could fix it in a minute, yet they can look up my receipt number and see the purchase. I have a case number now but have been told he does not feel they will help me, but to call on Monday. ** is the number he gave me. All I want is the difference of Target's error credited back on my card. The sale price is still ongoing for 2 more days so they can see obviously what the price should be.
