SORRY, TARGET.
so, a couple weeks ago, i placed an order on target.com. and just today, i get a message saying part of my order was cancelled due to them not having the item i ordered. even though delivery estimation on the day i had ordered the items had come and gone. and even though it was part of someone's gift, that's fine...we're pretty low on money at the moment anyway and i'm sure could find something comparable. so, i go to check when the delivery estimate is for the rest of what i ordered, and it said, between dec. 23 - dec. 27. wha? on an order i placed a couple weeks ago? no way. i cancelled the whole thing. i'm just glad that it doesn't seem they charged the account until they were ready to ship it to me. however, it is sort of frustrating that i could have ordered something and not expect to receive it until a month or more later. especially when the delivery estimation they gave me when i was checking out was 5-9 days.
sure it probably has something to do with it being the holidays and there being a lot of people ordering online, but still. it shouldn't be THAT backed up that they don't have a better handle on it. i haven't heard the greatest things about target's online shopping. and their return policy kinda' sucks, too. one of the many reasons being: you can't return an item that you purchased online back to the store unless it's something they are currently carrying in the stores. ugh...seriously...is it too much to just take it and ship it back with whatever other shipments they would send back for whatever reason? target stores and target online should be one and the same. kinda' ridiculous. if it weren't for the fact that they had so many cute things for decent prices, i don't think i'd even bother with target. i think i'll just stick to buying instore/offline when it comes to target.
