I bought plenty of stuff for my new home when I moved. Most everything has exceeded expectations - one chair had a funny mark on the cushion and I was able to return it to the local store with no problem whatsoever, and then go a new one online. This is one of my top go-to sites.

Two Hours On Hold
December 11, 2015

Ordered two pairs of pajamas. Received one and a really ugly grey shirt from someone else's order. Called customer service and after an hour hold was told the replacement pajamas would be sent soon. They never arrived and this time spent TWO hours on and off hold with different managers trying to help. You see they were now sold out of the pajamas. They finally found one but I have to drive to a store within 24 hours or they put it back. I asked for some compensation. They said they would send a gift certificate. Gourds what I received for my three hours on hold. Fifteen dollars. Gee Target. Think you can afford $6 value in merchandise? I can't tell you how thankful I am. I was just paid less than minimum wage to deal with your incompetence.

Everything is so poorly made and mass-produced that it falls apart after a few days. But the prices are sooo expensive for what it is. I can get some of the same things at the dollar store. I purchased some shirts, washed them and they became muted, lopsided, uneven, full of holes and loose threads. Can't wear them in public. The website sucks so much too! Weird layout, hard to navigate. They ship your items one by one. Waste of packaging and time. Why can't you mail out 3 shirts together? Why must I wait 2 weeks just to receive them all? Doesn't make sense. Customer service is a joke, don't bother.

Target online is a mess. I ordered a coffee table posted on their website and received the wrong table twice. Turns out the picture posted was no longer available. I then tried to order a pair of pants and shoes that have yet to arrive. The shipment date was May 1st and the shipping info say's "in transit". I then recieved an email from asking how I liked my purchase... really? It took 3 tries to contact them but when I finally did they offered me a refund before even asking if I still wanted the items. Digging deeper I find out the items are low in stock. Terrible, TERRIBLE online service and communication between the warehouse, staff and customers. Get it together Target, you're big enough to handle this more professionally.

My very first time shopping at Target was this past Christmas. I purchased gifts for my three grand sons. My five year old did not receive his gift until after new Years. No communication during this time, mind you I was promised Christmas Eve arrival the latest. Shame on you Target! The price was right though.

I don't like target at all! They have some very anti American views! They support BLM not the meaning the anarchy that comes with it! It's funny as they were the main victims of the looting! They give vile ppl like Chrissy teigan a line when she bailed out child sex offenders what kind of company is this! I will never shop there again they've showed their true colours!

Web site has awful functionality, but I finally got registered and then received two emails and one text message confirmation.
Instead of getting the delivery, I learned that my order had been canceled.
No apologies. No further attempts to fulfill the order.
Even customer service said nobody was available, so I should call again tomorrow

I've purchased from Target (in stores and online) for years. Last order is overdue by 9 days, UPS admitted (7 days ago) that they cannot locate the shipment and I have spent 2 days trying to chat online (no one is available to 'chat') along with multiple phone calls to Target just to get a refund for items not received. I am not happy at all and will avoid Target whenever possible in the future.

My first visit to this place was my last! I bought a single CD & store security saw it rung up. Then, as I was ready to leave, he announced very loudly for me to stop so he could see my purchase. It was a CD and not even in a bag! Who does that to a little old lady? What an $#*!!

Target hires rude, stupid people to man their "chat" which you are forced to use when they send you defective merchandise, or you don't receive it at all. We made the mistake of spending hundreds at Target for Christmas this year, only to have to deal with their pain in the arse, IQ80, rude customer service. Do yourself a favor and just go ahead & stop using their credit card so you can ask a reputable company to refund you. We'll be returning as many items as we can, Target. You can stick your ill-gained profits up your corporate azz.

HORRIBLE service
May 10, 2021

Had anniversary gift shipped to store. It was marked received. Email sent out processing takes 24-72 hours and won't be billed until picked up. We have have billed but were not notified available for picked. A day later, order was canceled by Target but our account is still billed. Husband has been on phone numerous times, had to repeat on every transfer. BAD service.

Loving It
January 18, 2021

Thank God I have found a place I can share about my experience with Target. They have the widest selection of home improvement materials and implements. The prices are not too expensive, but they are just slightly above those you would get from individual product specialist stockers.

Insulting
December 26, 2018

So when Target promises you a date that allows you to get your package in time for your big event don't believe them. They missed the delivery date for Christmas. Then they tell you to please accept our apologies and that you will be getting a gift certificate. When the gift certificate actually came through--A whooping $5. Why bother! You might as well send me nothing and let me know you don't give a $#*! about me.

Target switched high "refund" from original form of payment for defective item to a gift card claiming their "system" could not process.
I purchased a patio set which rusted within 4 months. Target agreed to return and refund my money. Paid for a truck to return set according to Target's directions. In the end, they wanted the refund to be as a gift card and not to my original form of payment. Nothing was ever stated about that change.

I have been trying to order ONE thing at target.com for almost 2 hours. I've chatted online and was shipped overseas for a call to customer service. Both agents were fine but after all this trouble it's not worth the wait to log into my account. Each time I'm sent a password reset via email, it's "expired". I expected more from Target. SO frustrating and a really negative online shopping experience. It's like Y2K but this is 2015! Don't bother shopping at target online. I hate to say it but Walmart was way easier...

I tried Walmart online and will never, ever do it a again. It was a total nightmare and I should have known. I wasted hours of my time for when I thought I was supposed to be saving time. Target on the other had was my second choice. I wish I had made it my first. Not only was the same products cheaper but with was easy and it did save me time. No messed up order issues, no long waits at the store, no long waits on hold with customer service in India. Target needs to get some credit for their amazing customer service and organization. My Christmas gift to everyone is this advice. Do not shop Walmart online, if you want to shop online your holidays should run as planned with Target.com

Ordereda few different orders and 2 were wrong items shipped, but they were awesome to remedy the situation quickly and made things right. Great shipping and easy shopping experience, sometimes customer service was tough understanding not clear English but worked thru it.

Ordered a hoverboard for a Christmas present. Internal issue with the battery but because it's past their measly 90 day return policy they won't exchange it at all! Now we are stuck with an expensive, defective item! Not an adequate return policy for an item of this magnitude! Also, service was not overly helpful and really didn't offer any sort of assistance. They have their "canned" responses and that's it. Very disappointing. I'll be thinking twice before ordering "cyber monday" deals this Christmas!

I'm not sure about all Target stores. The one in the San Mateo CA area, customer service can be scattered... I have asked serveral workers on occasion for a location of an item. Either the worker acts like they do not understand English or I'm told, they are not sure... food section workers are very helpful, sometimes walking me over to certain areas... but not everyone is on the same page.
