      Don't allow me to return order within return policy date that is peeling.

      Have not been allowed to return phone case that is within return policy date via in store or online. Second tech item I have bought this year where it states it cant be returned even though its within the date. Tried returning Barbie game bought in store in February due to glitching back on 2/22 & was only offered store credit, so I did not return it & kept a broken game because store credit shouldnt have been offered when the receipt clearly stated 3/17 is the date it needed to be returned for money back. Now I have the Apple chalk phone case I bought online that is doing the same thing but no explanation.

       I am rejecting this response because:

      I clearly mentioned in my original complaint I have tried returning it before the f****** return date and it clearly stated it was out of the return f****** window when it actually f****** was not on multiple occasions. This is the SECOND item I have bought that from Target that has done this and the first time I just took a loss because you all clearly did not give a f*** or know how to figure it out. I will chargeback this entire purchase with my bank and show them the proof of me trying to return in store & online before the f****** 22nd & it stating it cant be returned for my money back. S*** a** customer service and I will be filing a complaint with the *** f****** ridiculous you all sell companies sh*t/faulty products & then dont allow anyone to return it.

      I placed a $374 order with Target that was marked as delivered by *** on April 18, 2025, to my address in **********, ** but I never received the package. I have reason to believe it was stolen.I attempted to file a stolen package claim directly with *** and received this message:Unfortunately we cannot process your claim. The sender has restricted claims for this package. Please reach out to them directly for assistance. [***:E022]This clearly shows that Target has blocked the claim process, leaving me unable to seek a refund through the carrier. Since I paid through Venmo, and Target has refused to assist me with a refund or replacement, I am now out $374 with no merchandise.I am requesting a full refund or immediate reshipment. Target is the shipper of record and is responsible for resolving this issue under the ************************* Mail Order Rule.If this cannot be resolved promptly, I will escalate through the *** and media outlets. Please help resolve this matter.

      Hello *****, 

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

      Upon receipt of your contact, we understand our guest claimed their package was stolen. 

      Its disappointing to hear they didnt receive this Apple iPad. This situation certainly isnt typical or the experience we expected. 

      We confirmed this parcel was delivered by *** and confirmed 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.

      Because of this, we are not able to offer a refund or replacement of the product. If they believe the shipment may have been removed from their premises after the confirmed delivery, wed recommend reporting it to local law enforcement.

      At this time we have no further resolution for the guest and we 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 267980706.

      I ordered two items from target.com. I only received one of the two items that I paid for. The product came in a box that could only physically hold 1 of the 2 items.When I contacted their customer support they refused to refund me for the missing item and closed my inquiry and said they would provide no further action on my request to be refunded for the non-delivered item.

      I purchased a ***************************** Maker on 3/2/25.. item was ordered online and arrived a few days later. Used 2-3 times total. Each time it was very loud, wake up the whole floor loud. I reached out on 5/4/25inquiring about possibly returning the item. I talked to ***** via chat around 7:30 AM CDT. I told him the issue, that I have no box, etc. He insisted that as long as it was in good shape the item would be fine if it was used without a box. I even suggested I could contact the manufacturer myself if he thought it would be any issue. He insisted again that it would be fine.Item was packed up safely and shipped back via prepaid target label the same day (5/4). Tracking number shows it was delivered to back to Target 5/7. As of today (5/23) it still shows waiting for return. I received an email today stating that they were unable to verify the contents of the package so my return was denied. I reached out numerous times to get a resolution. I was told that no manager was available on my phone call. Chatted and kept getting the same response of the decision is final, and you received resolution. No resolution was received other than Target denying return. I specifically questioned the chat agent on 5/4. I was told it would be no problem. At one point a chat agent on 5/23 said I need to reach out to the carrier to file a claim. This was sent via prepaid label from Target. I reached out to the carrier. The carrier will do nothing for me since it is under the Target account. I chatted back with Target immediately and told them the issue. They again told me to contact the carrier as if they didnt even listen to me. Target not only didnt care that the chat agent told me one thing and another happened, but they refused to do anything. If the item didnt arrive, that is something Target needs to take up with **** My tracking shows delivered. Very disappointing and a slap in the face to the consumer. $162 was stolen from me by Target.

      I preordered two ******** Switch 2s on 4/24/2025. I endured hours of poor website performance due to (entirely predictable) demand for which the business did not prepare. After completing two separate transactions, I contacted my bank to confirm that both transactions were legitimate, planned and authorized. THREE WEEKS LATER, I received an email that there was an authorization issue on one of my orders. This was sent on a Friday, and my order was cancelled on Sunday. I typically do not check my email outside of business hours. And due to the amount of spam messages sent by the business, my email account automatically sorts their communications into spam. No other form of communication was provided, even though the business has my phone number and other contact methods. I am now not able to re-order my items due to the unreasonably small window to correct THE BUSINESSES ERROR. I contacted customer service where I was a read a script and declined assistance. I am rejecting this resolution on the grounds that I was not provided with sufficient notice that there was any problem with my order. This should not be a problem to begin with, and I have not been made whole.

      Thanks for contacting Target through the Better Business Bureau regarding your recent experience.

      We understand your ******** Switch 2 Console + **************** Bundle order was cancelled. As it turns out, Target sends a reauthorization hold request when the card issuer allows the initial hold to expire; **** allows holds to expire after seven days. There wasnt any update to the payment method within the two days provided in the notification email causing the order cancellation;we are unable to reprocess this order for delivery. Please partner with your card issuer if you have additional concerns with the reauthorization failure.

      I ordered an item costing approximately $100 on 5/11/2025. Target asked for an updated address because they couldn't find the apartment I wanted it delivered to. I added more detail to help them find it. I told their customer service I didn't want a refund because it's no longer on sale. They refunded it anyway. I will now have to pay %50 more to reorder it. I should be able to reorder it for the sale price.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
