      Ive called target multiple times and they won't refund me unless you contact them and tell them to. You need to send them an email or something and tell them to release my money. That's what they keep telling me. when I call spreetail support they claim they can't contact target and that target has to contact them.

      Hello, ****, 

      I apologize for taking the day to get back to you and that this issue is even occurring. I wanted to verify with the various financial teams to make sure your refund was refunded. We do see the refund with Target and they should be able to release the refund to you. Target can be reached at ****************. This is their online support number. If they have any issues, they can give us a call. Again, however, this is out of our hands at this point as the refund is sitting with Target and should be able to be released back to you at this point.

      I placed an online order *************** with Target for dishware, which arrived completely shattered due to negligent packagingno bubble wrap, foam, or protective materials. While unpacking the box, I was cut by broken glass (I am an 82-year-old customer with limited mobility).Despite multiple attempts to resolve this with Targets customer service, they:Refused a refund/replacement unless I provided photos (impossible due to a broken phone camera).Suggested I return the hazardous, broken items in-store, forcing me to handle dangerous glass again.Dismissed my concerns with an unprofessional Enjoy the rest of your day message, closing the chat without resolution.This is a clear case of:Breach of contract (goods arrived destroyed).Negligent packaging (no industry-standard protections).Failure to accommodate a disabled/elderly customer (no alternative to photo proof offered).

      *** ********,

      Thank you for contacting Target through the Better Business Bureau. I received a copy of your concerns and wanted to reach out to you.Please accept our apologies for this disappointing and frustrating experience.

      After receiving this information, I did some research and confirmed that you have been refunded for the dishware. In addition, our team correctly submitted this information to our claims reporting center. Someone from there should be reaching out to you to discuss your cuts.

      Its very disappointing to hear that the dishware was not properly packaged for delivery. I have shared that information with the leadership team at the distribution center that fulfilled your order. In addition, I will review your communications with our ************** team members and share feedback as appropriate.

      We value you as our guest and very much appreciate your bringing this to our attention.

      Thank you again for reaching out to share your experience.

      Sincerely,

       I am rejecting this response because:

      Target does not clearly state that there is a shorter 30 day window for returns for these third party items on their Returns Policy section, which is misleading.

      Text from Returns policy on website states: Target ************* Return Policy
      Most unopened items sold by Target Plus in new condition and returned within 90 days will receive a refund.

      This is where a consumer would check for the return policy after they purchased the item and decided to return it, not on the item page when they are purchasing the item, as Target expects.
