As it should be...
Recently used Target online for the first time and have to say I was happy with the experience. I placed 2x large orders of various gifts for Christmas. The company offers free deliver if you sped $X dollars (when I ordered it was $85) which is really great considering Big W and K-Mart still charge for delivery no matter how much you spend. My packages arrived promptly and all delicate items I ordered (for example, glass items) were wrapped generously in bubble wrap so nothing arrived damaged. The products appear to be reasonable quality for the $ amount.

Never shop online with Target!
Had a $100 gift card, and thought Id shop online as opposed to my local which never has anything I want in the right size. I bought and paid for items, pajamas for my children, however a few days later I received separate emails stating that both pairs of pajamas were out of stock and a refund was being offered. Im not sure how they can allow you to pay for an item they apparently dont have in stock. Because it was a gift card they cant refund automatically and it was a pain in the neck to call up and get a refund. Customer service wasnt great,...Read more
lady didnt make sense on the phone. Finally got my refund, went and visited my local store and bought the pajamas there that Id tried to buy online. So they clearly had stock. Washed all the clothes together (all lights/whites) there was one light blue shirt that ran and now all the white clothes are tinged blue. Not a great shopping experience and dont plan on shopping at target ever again.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

$84 for a Bazaar experience
I researched an item at Target and was told it was available to click and collect today. So I went ahead and ordered and paid for it. Confirmation email then tells me it is not ready for another week. I need the item today and can purchase it elsewhere, so I called the store to cancel the purchase and organise a refund. I was told they had my item in a different colour (same price), so I asked them to swap and I would collect today. Advised that I had to call customer service and do this, it could not be managed internally by Target.

Great service!
Hi every body. I ordered a few clothing items online. One was a mistake. I received the wrong size shirt but the return and exchange was done quickly and with ease. The quality is great for a superstore but still, it was a nuisance.

Horrible Service
I experienced over an hour's wait on hold for Broadway, Bondi, and Leichhardt department stores to check if a rug was available in stock. After being put on hold for the 10th time (which I wasn't unaware of, she just dropped the phone without notifying me) I grew pretty impatient. None of the staff had asked for the item code -which seems like the most inefficient way to search for an item, hence the long wait and the dubious questions on the description after boy-looking for the product.
After 10 minutes of waiting, I had almost lost hope in...Read more
getting a straight answer until the fleeting employee picked up the phone again, to notify me that they weren't any left -but the display rug. When I asked if the display rug was available to purchase, her response was "ahh there's some loose thread" (which didn't bother me) BUT THEN SHE HUNG UP. It bugs me cause, we're all experiencing the busy/turbulent time of the year, and even though Target is a cheap, quick and easy department store -Doesn't mean direct, efficient customer service should come at a price. Take pride in your day job and stop wasting paying customer's time.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Is Target trying to lose customers?
Bought an item online and logged in to track. Tracking system is an absolute joke and does not work and does not give delivery estimate. So, phoned, waited 15 min then got cut off. At the same time chose "chat" on site and just as I finally came to be next in line to chat, it cancelled. Never ever dealing with such a stupid company again.

Online shopping disappointment
Two online orders placed on the same day. The first order transacted smoothly with the item collected the next day from my local store. Second order placed an hour later resulted in a totally different result. Although I received an email confirming my order, that was all I ever received. Two weeks later I tried to track the package only to discover click and collect orders can't be tracked. I called the store to be told my order was ready to be picked up. No email or SMS. At the store the staff did their best but we're unable to tell me the da...Read more
te the stock arrived. They had to call Target and wait over 20 min to get the info and request a copy of the invoice be sent to me. My email to customer feedback resulted 2 days later in a polite fob off with no excuse or reason given. Disappointment. Lost another customer.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Lesson: Don't use Flybuy points online.
4 stars instore, big fan of instore service and goods. Two stars online for backend service. My online order was unable to be fulfilled one time. Target shortchanged me on the refund when I paid using Flybuy points. I raised a query within days of being shortchanged. They blamed Flybuys and told me to wait 5 to 6 weeks for processing. Post 6 weeks, I followed up with Flybuys, no response. I asked Target to provide a transaction record of the points being credited. I got a nonsense response, no logical one. Now I am being ignored by Target. It's not the amount, but I have never expected to be shortchanged by a large corporate. Just not happy and thought to share. Lesson: Don't use Flybuy points online.

Click and Collect
I ordered a rug through click and collect. I received an email saying it was going to take longer than expected. I rang my local store close to closing time to ask when I could come for my collection. They said sorry, there was an error, they have none in stock. I asked if I could have one ordered in, she said no. I asked when I would receive my money back and she said I will receive an email from click and collect. I have not received an email from them since Sunday saying the order is taking longer than expected. I have emailed twice now abou...Read more
t my refund and I have not heard back. Every time I call it says they are experiencing high wait time, expected wait time 20mins. Click and collect is not worth your trouble and you are best to just go in store.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Avoid.. shop instore
Online shopping joke. Paid for delivery and it was allocated to a store for click and collect that was nowhere near me.. so couldnt pick up even if I wanted too. I contacted them by phone, I was 20minutes on hold to be told nothing we can do. Emailed 2 different emails with one replying 3 days later with a copy and paste response. Didnt even acknowledge what I had written. Its been 2 weeks and I still have not received a refund or communication from them. If you shop at Target.. do it instore. The customer service is a joke.

Ridiculous wait on customer service phone line
I won't use click and collect again.
I received no SMS received advising ready to collect, hence no invoice received so how can I return unsatisfactory item.
20 then 40 minutes wait on customer service phone line to ascertain order status and then to request copy invoice, which did not arrive. No response to email to customer service.
In store staff seem inadequately trained in the system. Security tags left on purchases requiring another trip to store. Highly annoying experience.

Utterly incompetent
Ordered clothing online and it was sent with all the security tags still attached - so completely unwearable.
Contacted customer service - zero response in 24hrs. Not even an automated acknowledgement of the query.
Tried to use their chat function - wait time of 10mins 44 sec.
Tried to call - wait time of 30mins.

Order cancelled
Ordered a Nintendo Switch online from this lot. Item clearly showed stock at the store I intended to collect from. Applied a $50 off coupon and got the price to $379. Money paid in full and guess what? Order cancelled without any communication stating insufficient stock..
How about contacting customers and asking if they want to wait for stock to come in? No? You guessed it? Whoever is calling the shots over there probably realised that customers were getting an awesome deal and decided to give the directive to cancel orders instead.

Appalling conduct
Would give a 0 if possible. Multiple orders cancelled days after payment with no communication whatsoever due to "insufficient stock" of an item which will be restocked very quickly. Appalling conduct.

Target Online Shopping - no proper management of stock availabilty
Ordered an item (with full payment made) and Target Online clearly showed the item was available for pick up that day. 3 days later I receive an email to advise that my order had been cancelled due to insufficient stock. If Target cannot manage their stock, they should not offer online shopping.

Disappointing
I used to be a keen Target shopper. However the quality of the products (mainly clothes) the range of home products and the stores in general have really deteriorated.
I regularly shopped at this particular store but it now looks like a cheap retail outlet. Such a shame.

Lay-by garbage bags!
How is it that when you pick up your Target lay-bys, your purchase is in a cheap, plastic garbage bag? You are not even given the alternative of buying a Target bag. Felt like i was walking through the shopping centre with a bag full of rubbish.
Furthermore, all the hangers come with the purchase. I really don't want the hangers but they are in the plastic garbage bags.

Poor Quality
I have purchased singlet tops shoe string straps for years. The price has gone down from $12 to $8. As so has the quality. They were out of stock for a while then a new range appeared so took the opportunity to buy more. This stock was far shorter than my previous purchases and the straps were much shorter. Only had removed the tags off one so was able to return the others. I left a review on the Target website however it was not published. Looks as thou they are only interested to let customers know any positive reviews.

Every time I order online - nothing ever arrives....
I have (attempted!?) to purchase a number of items from Target. The items are always listed as available online.
This time - I even received a confirmation that my order was confirmed.
Next day - I get notified I have received a refund - from the company I PAID through. Not Target. Every time. Then nothing. So disappointing - do not bother purchasing online with Target. This has happened for years now - they simply do not care.

Questions & Answers
Donna L.asked
My daughter received swimwear from Target for Christmas. After wearing them only twice, the bottom and bust area are beginning to pill and the little slivers of elastic within the material are popping out (as they would on older worn out bathers). As they have been worn, and I no longer have the receipt, am I able to exchange them as they are obviously of very low quality (considering what they cost)/faulty? Thanks

How do you read customer reviews for products on the Target Website..... something seems to have changed because even though a product might be listed with yellow review stars with a number in brackets to indicate how many reviews it has had, these customer reviews are not showing on the product page. Does anyone know whether I should be able to read these reviews? I like to read review to help me choose products.
3 answers
Yes, I have emailed them. Still waiting for an answer.
Firstly to Anyhow. Please don't be condescending when you answer questions. I do know that I should ask Target and I already had, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to discuss this with other Target reviewers in case they have had the same problem. I thought that was the part of the purpose of having a Product Review site. Also, Other customers do often answer questions.
I have just discovered the problem was a compatibility problem with my Firefox Browser which now has been fixed. It was not showing some content (ie the reviews in this instance) on the product description pages. I hope this will help someone else who experiences this problem. I logged into my Firefox account and made sure it was updated and bingo, the reviews appeared on the product pages!
Thanks for changing your answer Anyhow. That's much more friendly and helpful.
Yes, it's all fix now. At least if anyone else has this problem they might see this conversation and know what to do.
