  • Target

10/20/15

I have so far used ordered on-line Target pick-up service twice. I only go to Target for specific items and at that infrequently because I find I waste too much time in large stores. With pick-up you can pick up at off hours and your goods have already been placed in bags for you. The first time the cashier thankfully noticed, a similar but wrong item was placed in the bag. I appreciated her catch. I find the customer service crew a more highly experience group than those on the cash registers (the front lines of fire). I also find it easier to stock up using on-line pick-up shopping. One snafu is that the pick-up store setting on the site is confusing, I had to reset each item for the store I wanted rather than have it immediately set to go to my home store. Must be using some zip feature that is setting a distant store.

Chewy was one of the few sites with this vet's special formulation. I have been using them for every other month orders for about a year. I get the Dr. Tim profuct that was specially formulated for sled dogs. The site is reliable in delivery and notifies me well in advance in case I want to make changes to my order. It then again notifies me right before shipping. Once I thought they forgot an item but it came in a separate box. I believe I also get a nice discount for a standing order. Highly recommend Dr. Tim's formulation and glad Chewy keeps this relationship w Dr. Tim going.

I believe this company, Living Social, is a site front for gaining access to large amounts of cash for a period of time by pretending to be offering merchant deals. The merchant falls through and you get back only the cash you put in not any % of the deal you though you had bought.

It is a law that they have to hold your original funds for 5 years if not used in the voucher period. I had an experience where a vendor whose code did not work during the valid period would not honor the full amount of the voucher and demanded that I use the cash value amount within two months or loose it.

The amount of time you invest to get you $$$ back is astronomical. And they make every attempt to hold it for longer and longer.
