Order for airpods was supposed to be delivered a week ago. Per the in app ai chat, i had to wait 48 hours. I have waited and nothing. I went through every prompt and clicked missing etc. Thought a refund would have been issued by now for misdelivery. My apartment delivery locker is broken so i know for certain it couldnt have been delivered to my locker because the driver would have left it with the front desk unless they were ignorant enough to leave that item in an open and damaged locker. Please refund me.Business Response

This is about a transaction that was done on Apr 26, 2025. The order was for Pokemon cards and there is a strict no-return policy on these. Purchase was done without my authorization (though a member of my household). I contacted Target the same day the transaction happened (via chat so there should be a record of this) and requested to see if they could cancel the order as it said it was in about to ship state. The Target customer *** told me to call them back when it shipped so they could put in a request with the shipping company and request that it be sent back. I followed up on April 28, 2025 (Monday) after I got the shipping notification. The customer *** told me that they would reach out to *** and I assumed all was ********* forward to May 2, 2025 (Tuesday)... *** dropped off the package. I immediately called Target support and explained what happen. They told me that I was out of luck and had no recourse because of the strict no-return policy. I kept trying to get someone to elevate my call multiple times and both times I was transferred the call was dropped.On May 4, 2025 I was finally able to get in touch with someone at Target about the issue. They once again told me that they had a strict no-return policy but because the charge wasn't authorized by me that I should file a chargeback. I am not making this up, I swear on my mothers life that this is what I was told. At this point, seeing how no one at Target customer support was willing to assist me (and at this point lied to me), I figured this was my only option. I had spent multiple hours on the phone trying to talk to someone at Target to work with me and was constantly turned away / dropped without a call back.I did the chargeback and today (June 18, 2025) I received mail from Target card services to collect money for the chargeback. I would really like to settle this with someone at Target. Or simply just let me return the items. They have not even been removed from the shipping box.Business Response

I received several gifts that were purchased from Target, ranging in value from approximately $15 to $170. These items were confirmed to be from Target, as we scanned them using the Target app and verified their presence on the Target app. However, I received no gift receipts for these items.Because I received duplicates of several items and do not need them, I attempted to return them. I first went to one Target store, where I was only allowed to return one item without a receipt in exchange for a gift card. I then went to a different location, where I was allowed to return a few more items and received an in-store merchandise card. However, I was told I could not return the higher value items (over $100), despite confirming they were purchased at Target.When I asked a store associate if there was a limit to how many returns I could make without a receipt or how much could be refunded to a merchandise card, I was told there was no stated limit. Yet, I was denied the ability to return the higher-value items. This has left me with expensive duplicate items I cannot use, and no clear explanation of why Im being denied a return.I am extremely disappointed in the inconsistency across Target store locations regarding their return policy for gifts without a receipt. I believe a customer should be able to return items, especially gifts they cannot use, so long as they are confirmed to be from Target.If this issue is not resolved, I will discourage others from purchasing gifts at Target due to the unreasonable and unclear return restrictions. I am requesting that Target allow me to return the remaining duplicate items and receive store credit or a merchandise card.Business Response

I placed an order with Target Delivery. My ordered is marked as delivered, when there was no delivery at all! I stood outside for 20 minutes, along with the security for our estate and NO ONE came to deliver our order. Target staff has informed me that instead of entering my unit number as 932, I only entered 32. I recognized my error , (5 minutes) after ordering and made an edit to reflect the true address of unit 932. I can see the edit was made online. Upon reaching out to the Target store in **************, Md, I was met with only rude careless remarks like, "Well we don't have anything to do with delivery, even if it came from this store." Or "Well, what do you want us to do?" I find this level or lack of customer service insulting at best. The total is $79.53, but Target may be doing this to other customers as well. They claim to have no communication with the delivery drivers and no way to verify if they are actually delivering the product or keeping the items for themselves. When I called the corporate office, a *** kept reading a script and not speaking to me as person who is literally being robbed. The driver kept our food! Target is not concerned about process improvement, checks and balances. The *** also told me that they are only going by the word of the driver, who stole our order! There is no proof of delivery at all! No one called to confirm the address or to notify of a problem. There is no unit 32 in the ENTIRE COMMUNITY, they could NOT have delivered my order to a non existent address. It is literally impossible. So, I am formally asking for a review and a refund. Thank you.Business Response

Dear Target I am writing to request an immediate refund for an order that was marked as delivered but was clearly not delivered to my residence.The tracking photo attached to the order is completely insufficient. It does not show my house number, nor does it include a full view of the home or entryway to verify that it was delivered to the correct address. In fact, I can confirm with full certainty that the location in the image is not my home. This kind of vague, partial image should not be accepted as proof of successful delivery.Furthermore, I am shocked that no signature confirmation was required for this package. For an item of this value and importance.especially when delivery accuracy cannot be visually confirmed a signature DEFINITELY should be mandatory. This is a basic delivery standard that protects both the customer and the company, and its absence in this case has now left me empty handed and left to figure out how to get one on such short notice being that the store said they did not have ant in stock. This was a birthday gift for my niece, and now not only have I missed the occasion, but Im being told to wait 48 hours to investigate when the evidence is already clear: the package was not delivered to the correct location. I should not have to wait two more days for a resolution when the photo fails to confirm proper delivery. Its frankly unacceptable.I am requesting a full refund immediately. I have been a reliable Target customer, and I expect a level of accountability and customer service that reflects that loyalty. I did not receive my package, the delivery photo does not prove otherwise, and I will not accept being penalized for something outside of my control, seriously.. the door is green not white.Please confirm that my refund is being processed without delay.Business Response

Dear Target Executive Team,
I am writing to request immediate intervention regarding a package marked as delivered on June 11th, which was never received. Target’s Guest Relations team denied my refund even after I explained the situation and provided evidence.
Attached is a screenshot from FedEx showing a package left on a porch that is clearly not mine — different chair, different mat, different bricks. This proves misdelivery.
For further context, I had a nearly identical issue with Best Buy and was issued a full refund without issue. (Also attached.) I expect Target to meet the same standard.
Please review the attached evidence and issue a refund or replacement. If not resolved within 48 hours, I will be escalating to the FTC and Attorney General and will also file a police report.Clearly, fed ex is doing something underhanded and sneaky. I was supposed to have a best buy package delivered, not only is it the wrong house but the package isn’t in the picture… the target box is though…. so not only is delivery missing from another company but they took a picture of a whole other package and best buy even realized that it’s not my house.

On June 6, approximately 5:35 AM I placed an order with target for a ******** switch too. This came after researching other retailers that had the same product and similar delivery dates but I chose to go with target from past performance. So I placed my order with target a delivery date of June 9, but when I returned to the website, it had a delivery date of June 11. I accepted that and placed my order. I did receive an emailconfirming my purchase that a few days later I then receive another email save my purchase wouldn't be fulfilled until 24 June. I did receive another email June 10 Stating that they are canceling my order now. I have made two calls asking also to speak to management, butI need to speak with management in regards to this issue. I was told there was nothing that they were going to do and my order has been canceled. They stated that I could re-order it, which there is no availability to re-order, nor is there availability at the other retailers that I could ordered at the time I made my purchase with target. I have no options to purchase the item now I want target to resolve this issue by making good on the contract that we have for the of the ******** switch 2.Business Response
