This is in regards to an online order The item was over $1000 - it came defective and was set up to be returned. It was a TV so it was picked up by **** on the 27th. On the 28th it left the hub from ** to return to IN by that saturday.However the package never got another physical scan and vanished. I called and went into chat support with both target and **** and nothing came over it till wednesday the following week when **** called back after i filed a missing package because target wouldnt do anything. They called back and said that it hadnt been seen but if it does it will get an update for a physical scan That was 2 days ago and still no luck on my return so i can just get my refund. Today target for the 5th time told me to wait more days. This is after they told me on the 3rd that i needed to wait 48hr for some type of resolution. Its beyond 48hr and even tho i fulfilled my return responsibilities i cannot for the love of ****** get a refund until a missing package makes it way back to target. The item has not had any physical scan since the 28th and target uses the system generated response of it being in transit to avoid refunding me.Business Response

To The BBB June 5, 2025 ********* was advised to file this complaint on Target. Three days ago I purchased online under my Target Red Account a MjKone Pull Out Sofa Bed Target sold myself for my home in *******. The sofa bed is very, very poor quality from ***** in which the customer has to assemble for $443.49 total with ***** shipping etc. Upon opening the box the "cushions are sealed in a air tight bag" once you open the bag all three cushions expand much larger in size. After trying to assemble this defective product sold by Target, bars bent s**** wholes not matched to s**** the materials together and more total garbage. Target has a so called refund policy for 30 days, I have exhausted trying to get this refunded of $443.49 back to my credit card not my Target Red Card. The Executive offices form the CEO down total deaf ears no concern etc.Because the" cushions expanded twice it's size the box cannot be closed with tape or any other type of securement to return to this Target. Because the box cannot be sealed again because of the expanded cushions, I even offered to take a photo to show this Target refused this as well, the box cannot be returned which is 124 lbs as well. Under the *** a merchant like Target must refund a customer for defective products, I offered to take photos they refused, I asked of their so called guest service this cannot be returned due to the cushions expanding, one employee stated "sent it back" ********* closing, I have wasted way to much time for this Target c*** they sell, Target need to build their products they buy form China to see how a customer has to deal with their c*** they sell. I will be refunded my $443.49 or Target will be subjected to legal recourse I have at my disposal.Target is to credit my card used in said purchase the $443.49 immediately, I can send photos as offered which they refuse to see. I expect the refund as well immediately. Target can right off this garbage bed as a loss. Thank youBusiness Response

I have saved my Target gift cards for over a year and finally was getting ready to order my iPad only to have trouble doing so on line because they did not have it in store. I called the main Target number on my card I was on the phone for almost a hour getting switched to three different people and then finally the person tells me hold on. They are going to connect me with the department I need to talk to and after an hour I get disconnected so I just called once again today and got a hold of someone else and they told me they could not help me. My problem is that theyre telling me I can only use 10 of my gift cards at the time which is ridiculous and I just don't understand they are my gift cards from buying products from them and I was told by the last person I talked to you that they would be able to merge them so that I purchase my iPad online but once again Im being told that, nope I cannot, but I can go in the store and do it which they dont have the thing in the store, but-then I was also told by the another person that I could not use all in store ! I have been a loyal customer I spent a lot of money and I getting no help. All I wanna do is spend my gift cards, which is my money on a product and I am having such a hard time even getting someone to help me. It is very disappointed. Hopefully, I can get some type of help or phone number or something to contact so I can purchase my product. .Business Response

Hi,I bought a pair of Jeans from Target - one in January, second one in February. I called in the January pair of jeans ($19) as not true to size and was issued a gift card or $19. Months later my debit card got charged $19 and the gift card was voided. I've tried calling support and they were not able to tell me where the charge came from. I've contacted the bank and they reversed the charge. About a month later, now, I am once again being charged $19 for God knows what. I don't know why Target is messing with me. You approved a refund and then you took it away??? Things don't work like this. This is an official complaint to explain that Target is making unauthorized charges to my debit card. I still want to remain Target's client, bu Target has to return my money back and stop sneaking these charges in on me. Otherwise, I will become very ****** (I will be contacting my bank tomorrow) and will have to tell my bank to reverse the charges and BLOCK Target from stealing money from me. I suggest you get back in touch with me ASAP. My email on Target's website is *********************** and my phone number is ************. Thank you and I'm looking forward to a peaceful resolution to Target's s**** up.Business Response

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.Customer Answer

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).Business Response

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.

I bought swimsuits online at Target.com. I tried to return an item from within the normal 90 day return window, and was told it was ineligible as the return window had passed. Turns out there was a 30 window. Apparently there are some 3rd party vendors that have different return policies. This was not made clear when I purchased online, nor in my order receipt, so I asked for an exception. I was told by Target customer service that there was nothing they could do, as their hands were tied with the contract with the vendor. Very disappointing and terrible customer experience. Now Im out $300.Business Response

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.

May 30, 2025 I called the ************* location because they forgot to give me a credit for $8.81 on a product I returned. 3 Times guest services hung up the phone on me and I was not able to talk with *****, the store manager who made the mistake. I called the ***************** location to talk to the store manager to as what I should or could do and ******* decided to speak on my behalf and the store manager would not come to the phone. I let ******* know speaking on my behalf was not professionally and she hung up the phone on me. I am now still on hold for the Commerce Township Store Manager to ask why I was treated this way and why it would EVER BE OK for someone to speak on my behalf. I believe ******* answered the phone again and once again I am on hold, 5 minutes and counting. Called back the ***************** mi store, had to go through HR was put on hold then I was able to speak with *** who seemed to think this was very funny as I heard it in our conversation and confronted her about it.

I went to the Target store ************* and ***** the store manager did my return of several items. two items returned were king size quilted pillow protectors, $8.81 each but was only given credit for one of them. I have checked my credit card statement and only one return is showing for $8.81. I have not been able to get a hold of anyone in the store because every single time I call and press two for guest services they hang up the phone the first time I called they hung up on me 12 times the next day that I tried to call it was a few times and today it was just once and I was not about to try again. I have not heard back from *****, the store manager because she will know which product was returned and that she made the mistake and didn't give me credit for two of them

My orders would get frequently cancelled on target.com for "technical issue". So I made a new account. I lost my switch 2 preorder because of this. I demonstrated the issue to an agent, and they accused me of being a reseller (I literally had nothing to hide, that's why I told them I made a new account so I could demonstrate the problem). I was just trying to make sure I wouldn't lose a chance at another switch 2 preorder. I also sometimes purchase pokemon cards (never go over targets limits). Now it seems as if my physical address is banned and they told me I can only shop in store from now on. This has been the worst customer experience I've ever had. I literally made another account because I don't want my orders to get cancelled. Apparently I'm a "reseller" when I've never resold an item I've purchased off target. I work full time and going to shop in store all the time is not an option. This has been such a terrible experience and I hope something could be done about this. I have never broken quantity limits. I never tried to get past any limits. I never tried to break any rules. I was just tired of all my orders getting cancelled every other day. So I went to look for answers with Target support and they responded by banning my account and basically telling me "oh well, go shop in store". Seriously not okay. I don't want any gift card, I don't want any money. I just want whatever restrictions that are placed on my personal information (I believe my address is flagged by the system or my card) and be lifted. I want the restrictions lifted off my account because they should have never been put on in the first place.Business Response

Upon receipt of your contact, we reviewed Husni's concern with their accounts. We regret any disappointment, but due to an irregularity with their orders, were unable to offer a different resolution. We've confirmed the guests past orders were canceled due in part to Target.com Terms & Conditions found on our webpage.

Hi I purchased a 250 dollar glass cabinet from target.com. It was delivered and left in the middle of my driveway with out notice in the rain for the entire day. Box says dont get wet. Box was destroyed and product damaged. I called customer service they said you have to return to the store. The product is 6 ft long 160 lbs and I have no way to return. I was hung up on 2 times and finally told too bad. I then got in contact with manager ******* who was so rude. Pretty much told me to ******* never get a refund. Told me to transport it price by price to the store. I asked to speak with her manager. She then replied no Im the highest. I do what I want and make the decision. Told her I was filing a bbb complaint she laughed and said they dont do anything anyway. I have spent 5 hours on the phone. And want a refund and to speak with someone at corporate.Business Response
