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.Business Response

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.Business Response

On May 20, 2025, I contacted Target customer support to request a price match on a ******* product I had in my cart. The agent confirmed eligibility and adjusted the price, urging me to place the order immediately.However, I later discovered that my Target account had been accidentally registered with a typo in the email address ******************** a mistake I wasnt aware of until after the order was placed. This error resulted in my full name, home address, and order details being sent to an email account I do not own, which may belong to a stranger with a similar name.I asked the agent to correct the email or cancel the order, but was told repeatedly that email changes could not be made via chat, and was directed to a phone line that turned out to be an automated system with no help. I was left without support while my personal information was ************** make matters worse, I had just applied a Target gift card to the wrong account and now have no way to recover it.This is a clear privacy and security issue, and Target failed to respond with urgency or provide any meaningful resolution despite my distress and repeated requests.I am requesting that Target:Cancel the affected order;Remove my home address and personal data from the incorrect account;Recover or reissue my Target gift card;Investigate why unverified accounts can be used to place home deliveries; and Offer an apology for the mishandling and lack of adequate customer support.Business Response

I placed an online order on 5/20/2025 at target for 9 items. My order was canceled by the store unexpectedly without explanation. I called customer service and they were told that they spoke to me about the canceled order which was not true. My phone number was not saved in my target account to make a phone call at the time of the order. I saved my phone number in my account after the order was canceled. I received an email stating a refund will be given back. Later on after 8pm, an email was sent that my return was approved and I will not receive a refund for the canceled items. I never returned anything when they canceled my order. They have taken my money and will not return it back to me. An investigation will be ensue by law enforcement as well.Business Response

****,
Thanks for contacting Target through the Better Business Bureau regarding your recent experience.We understand you were charged the Target Circle 360 monthly membership fee in February 2025 and March 2025 though the membership was cancelled after the two-week trial. We located four accounts with trials activated between December 2024 and February 2025 and confirmed all memberships were cancelled successfully. Though the trial offer was for two weeks, the redemption across multiple accounts provided eight weeks of service. In March we issued a refund for two membership charges; we are unable to issue any additional refunds at this time.
While Im not able to offer you the resolution youre looking for, we appreciate the time youve taken to share your feedback.
