I placed an order #***************,Order #***************,Order #***************,Order #***************,Order #***************. This was delivered on 04/08/2025. I ordered through the app, and upon checking the delivered I show it was sent to my old address (As I was able to see the photo that was shown) . I did not put this address on the app. I put MY address, and now I am at fault for these packages. I did not get them, and this was my kids birthday gift. I am a single mom and I can't afford this. I even reached out to who delivered the package and they are unable to help me since it was **** delivered. I shouldnt be responsible for the app, and it going to the wrong address.Business Response

I have been involuntarily banned from shopping online. I have read online about Target blocking some customers from online shopping. Some have been accused of nefarious behaviors, of which I have not participated in. I am quite certain this treatment is unwarranted otherwise Target would be transparent as to why this has occurred. From online feedback I see Target does not address concerns like these with any response & has not addressed mine as well. I contacted multiple times & had orders cancelled multiple times. I would like my online shopping account activated fully.Business Response

On March 27th of 2025 I made a purchase online at Target. I went to the store to pick up my items. The item of concern was a pack of steaks. The steaks turned out to be no good and or contaminated and smelled bad. I contacted the store and I was told that I could discard the item and request a refund through the app. That way I did not have to return to the store as I have a disability and limited transportation. I reached out via chat through the Target online app and I was told I would receive communication regarding my refund. I never received that communication. I reached out again on April 6th 2025 and was told again I received communication and that Target could not offer my refund. This is absolutely unacceptable. I would like a refund. And I will assure that I will never shop at Target again after this experienceBusiness Response

I placed an order for a DJI Pocket 3 camera on April 2nd and it came on April 4th. The package that was delivered only contained paper stuffing and no camera. I contacted Target customer service about this situation on the same day and received an email 2 days later. They acknowledged that they sent an empty package but still labeled it as a successful delivery and refused to do anything about it. As a longtime customer of ********************** with this being one of my first orders with them online, I cannot believe that this situation was handled so unprofessionally. This camera was a gift for a very big anniversary event, and now I am forced to buy a gift from another retailer. I am absolutely disappointed at Target in regards to this situtation and will be reconsidering my patronage.Business Response

Hello *****,
Thanks for contacting Target on behalf of our guest ***** ***.
Upon receipt of your contact, we reviewed our guest order concerns. This situation certainly isnt typical or the experience we expected.
After further review we can confirm this was shipped and 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.
At this time we have no further resolution for the guest and we consider this matter closed. If you believe the product may have been removed from your premises after the confirmed delivery, wed recommend reporting it to local law enforcement.
We appreciate the time youve taken to bring this experience to our attention.
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 262497429.

Hello Ibraheem,
Thanks for your patience.
Unlike most of the **** sets that our fulfilled by our Target store locations, the **** Star Wars Millennium Falcon ***** you purchased was fulfilled by one of Targets Distribution Centers. We reached out to our distribution partners to review your order shipment. The **** set you shared that you received, **** Up set number *****, is not stocked at this center.
We also researched the return issue with our return center team and confirmed the return we received from you couldnt be processed for a refund as outlined on our site under Why was my return declined by the online return center? While these situations are rare and unexpected there isnt any other resolution we are able to provide you when these circumstances should occur.
Any merchandise purchased on Target.com can always be returned to a Target store for a refund. This available return option will eliminate any potential issues in the future. We appreciate the opportunity to review your concern.
Sincerely,

I order Lego set castle for my daughter my daughters birthday. When the box arrived there were assorted items in the box that I did not order, but no leggo set. I called target to let them know and I was told to return the items to the store. After I returned the items, I called to find out when I would get the items that I ordered, and I was told that the return was declined because the items were not what I ordered. I asked for a refund and I received an email yesterday stating that I could not get a refund for the item I never received and paid nearly ****** for.Business Response

On April 4, I purchased Pokemon cards for my son at the Target store #****. After I purchased them I realized that I did not have the receipt with me so I went to the staff monitoring the self-checkout registers to let her know that I misplaced the receipt so I asked if she could re-print a receipt with my credit card number and she called the manager. The manager ******* said it was not possible and that it didn't matter because those cards are non-refundable. I explained to her that there was no sign providing that information. She said that it was on the receipt. I told her that had I known that they were non-refundable I would have not purchased them. I also told her that it did not make sense for the receipt to show that they are non-refundable because that is after the purchase. She then said that she would contact corporate and see if there is a sign that they could put there, but she said that there was nothing else she could do. My wife and I thought it would be a good idea for the manager to contact corporate so I went back into the store. The manager said that she doesn't contact corporate so I asked for the number and she said that I could ****** it. I asked her to please look it up for me and she looked it up online. We contacted guest relations, representative ****** She also said that the receipt would show that those cards are non-refundable. We let her know that the receipt is after the purchase so that would not give us the information prior to the purchase. She said she was going to provide our "feedback" to her manager, who does not take calls she said. We let her know that we are requesting a refund, and she said that she could not do that. When we asked if someone would contact us back she said she did not know. We asked for another number to have the matter resolved and she said there are no other numbers. We tried to locate other numbers for Target Headquarters with no luck.Business Response

I made a preorder purchase online on the target app on 01/16/2025 order# #*************** for the total amount of ******. The order was shipped 2/14/2025 and I received it on 02/19/2025. Target has a 30 day window on returns which the order qualified for. I went to return the item 28 days after I received it on 03/19/2025 and was informed by Target that the return window had closed on 03/16/2025. I explained to them that I received the item on 02/19/2025 and was within the 30 day window. Target informed me of their illegal and unethical policy that the window of return starts the day it was shipped 02/14/2025. How can I return a sealed never opened item that I didn't have in my possession because they hadn't given it to me yet? This is 100% fraud to deduct 5 days from the return period when they hadn't given to me yet. They refused to issue my refund because of it. As a consumer I need protection and a resolution to this fraud done to me. I want them to take back their sealed unopened product and issue a total refund of ******Business Response
