She seems disorganized and discombobulated with my clear concerns. Speaks in circles and repeats needlessly. She claimed "return replacement if possible". False. I meticulously and firmly clarified that ******** was to handle the cancellation. Target should be accountable and terminated for this disaster. Demanded mgr. Lost call? Hung up on me? *******/representative: *****/Spr: Wow...rushed and sloppy speech. Lack of efficiency, patience, professionalism, performance and responsibility.

      Thanks for contacting Target on behalf of our guest *************************.

      Upon receipt of your contact, we have reviewed the orders fulfillment and tracking details and confirmed a successful fulfillment and delivery.

We apologize that we are unable to provide the desired resolution. However, we are thankful for the time the guest has taken to share their experience. At this time, we consider this complaint resolved.

      I placed an order for ******** - EK World Egg Surprise online on 6/25 and picked it up on the same day at ************** Target in *******, **********. I was charged a bag fee temporarily and the website said if I do not need the bag when I pick up the order, I would get refund for the bag fee. When I picked it up at 1:07 PM on 6/25, I specifically mentioned about the bag fee and returned the bag to the customer service people. I was told I would get a new invoice. But then I got the receipt later which still showed the bag fee of $0.10. It's a small amount but still bothering.I used my gift card for the purchase. Invoice# *****************. I requested $0.10 to be refunded and an apology from Target.

      On July 12th I placed an order through Target.com. The tracking information claims it was delivered July 16th however I never received it. When I contacted Target for support, they initially said they would issue a refund. Later they declined to do so. The agent I then spoke with said they would email be a copy of our chat transcript. They never did. When I contacted Target to follow-up I was informed that the prior agent had lied to me and they were unable to send a transcript.

      Dear *****,

      Thanks for contacting Target on behalf of our guest *******************************.

      Upon receipt of your contact, we attempted to connect with our guest to address their concerns without success. Its disappointing to hear ******************** didnt receive the merchandise they recently ordered from one of our Target ************** This situation certainly isnt typical or the experience we expected. We apologize for any inconvenience this circumstance has caused.

      We reached out to the ********** post office, as the parcel was delivered by their station and confirmed with a route supervisor the shipment was delivered without incident as expected to the address submitted on the order. As referenced in our terms and conditions, when merchandise is purchased on our site the risk of loss and title passes to the purchaser upon delivery to the carrier. If ******************** believes that shipment may have been removed from their premises after the confirmed delivery wed recommend reporting it to local law enforcement. As disheartening as this is to share, we dont have any other resolution we can provide on our end for this circumstance and consider this matter closed.

      As always, we appreciate the assistance you provide us with our guests. If you have further questions, feel free to contact Target at ************ and reference case number *********.

      Sincerely,

      *******

      Orders/ ************* The ***** ******** 50" Class 4K HDR had a big defective panel.Since I didn't have a car, it is so annoyed to return the *** Moreover, due to this, I bring my old TV to recycle on the same day I got this new *** It means that this tv became the only TV I have.However, target refuse to send the replacement before they received the old one; which means that there will be no TV in my house for more than a week. TV is a necessity for working from home people like me to do the everyday meeting.It is not my fault to get a defective TV, so it is totally unfair that I have to take tremendous effort on repackage and return, especially cannot use my TV for a week.I just hope Target ships the replacement first, I will return the defective one at the same I received the replacement; or provide me some compensation for the inconvenience, especially considering I have to expend extra for a sub during the waiting period.

      Dear *****,

      Thanks for contacting Target on behalf of our guest Yu ***************.

      Upon receipt of your contact, we attempted to connect by phone and email with our guest to address their concerns. Its disappointing to hear the television ********* received from our ****** store was defective. This certainly wasnt expected or the experience we set out to provide. We apologize for any inconvenience this situation has caused.

      Good News! We were able to contact the leadership team at our ****** store and arrange for ********** to exchange their defective television at that location for another item. While we didnt get an opportunity to actually connect with this guest we were able to confirm through their shopping account an exchange was successfully processed in that store on July 23, 2022.

      We appreciate the opportunity to assist ********** with this matter and are happy to know it is resolved.

      As always, we appreciate the assistance you provide us with our guests. If you have further questions, feel free to contact Target at ************ and reference case number 152863122.
