“Target”

Dee C.
3/29/24

Target is my go-to retailer for its combination of affordability, convenience, and variety. Whether I'm shopping for groceries, household essentials, or clothing, Target consistently delivers quality products at reasonable prices. I appreciate the ease of shopping both in-store and online, as well as the frequent deals and promotions available to Target Circle members

“Reading that Target missed it's 'mark' on sales - not surprised”

Gin L.
11/20/24

I was an avid Target fan years ago when they sold brands that people actually liked and wanted to wear. Then for some reason, who ever they have as buyers lately, are totally missing the mark, esp on clothing. I never see anyone looking (or buying) their clothes these days. I only buy here for my 5% off w/Red card purchases on certain items. Have no idea if they can 'recoup' as they've been 'in the dumps' now for years imo.

I bought a gift card for $100.00, when my daughter in law wanted to used it didn't have any cent. I advise you not to buy gift cards.

Love the site, shows if store has items in stock and how many. Ordering on here is simple and they take returns at the store. Very highly recommended

If you do, you wouldn't really be looking at this or any other reviews on Target. Except if you're in Canada, that's a totally different subject!

I almost don't know where to begin on all the troubles I'm having this week alone with Target.com orders. First of all, I placed an order hours before the deadline to have a two-day shipment get here on Wednesday. I needed the cereal for Thursday's breakfasts. I was notified by the shipper that there was a delay - they had told me to expect it on Wednesday, as promised by Target - but it would be delivered on Thursday. On Thursday, I went to the site and saw that the shipper still had not received the items from Target. I called Target.com two days in a row and got totally incompetent "service" reps who just thought saying their sorry would fix it. Last nite, after the rest of the order came and still no two day items, I called Target.com again. This was at 7:30 pm. They said wait until the end of the day; it would come. I told them that it was impossible because the shipper still had not received the items. The "service" rep just kept repeating himself. The two-day order is now two days late and, tho Target claims it will be here today - 4 days for a guaranteed 2 day delivery - UPS only shows it is there; it is NOT on a truck for delivery.

My guaranteed next day delivery re-stock items, which were to be here today, are not out for delivery either. They have "shipped". These are coming from less than 2 miles down the street; they could have walked them here in an hour.

When things come, cans are always dented, sometimes badly. They don't seem to know how to pack anything. These are the nightmare packers you run into in supermarkets where the 16 year old boy puts your bread and eggs at the bottom of the bag. I guess that's where they recruit their shipping department.

My advice is DO NOT COUNT ON TARGET TO DELIVER ANYTHING ON TIME!

When they opened in Canada, I thought they would have good prices like Target USA, but it turns out they are even more expensive than already--established companies in Canada, such as Wal-Mart

I ordered a Wii game for the family from Christmas. I thought it was for the Wii, I didn't not see the U, and I'd also been unaware there even was a Wii U. So I threw out ALL the packaging and the box, and the shipping labels, and unwrapped it from the cellophane and rewrapped in Santa paper and put it under the tree! Christmas morning when they opened it from the box and put it into the wii, that's when we realized it was not the correct game. I called our LOCAL target, explained what happened, and they advised all we had to do was bring in the game, with the credit card I used to purchase it online with, and they'd allow for an even trade. No hassle, no problems, friendly and helpful. My mistake, and target easily made it right for our family. I didn't realize that Target will except opened online purchases in the store even with no labels or barcodes. All you needed is the card you used to purchase. I love target, always have and this dreadful mistake on my part, was happily taken care of by the people in red! LONG LIVE TARGET! <3

I always seem to find a super cute pair of shoes in the stores that they don't have in my size. I can usually find them online.

Hit or miss with target online. They should be careful about that lest they end up in the retail swamps with kmart.com/sears.com
