Target General Deals Thread

[TwinCitiesBluFan]

My Deadpool v Wolverine (non-steelbook) and Ghost 4Ks look to be on track to arrive tomorrow, which I won't complain about. Sixth Sense and Signs could get here Wednesday, but I assume Thursday is more likely, based on when they shipped and the slowness of Mail Innovations.

Well it's finally happened. I got my first damaged upon arrival steelbook. Naked Gun steelbook was shipped in the mail and arrived as bent as a bendy straw.

Since the box it came in and the other items in said box, including another steelbook, were damage free, I'm thinking Naked Gun was already damaged before it was even packed. Doesn't much matter though since Target issued the refund and did not ask for the item back. That was kind of surprising. I must be trustworthy.

Signs and The Sixth Sense are showing up as backordered for me still.

Same, and I was one of the losers waiting up 3AM Sunday with items in cart.

2 years ago I bought a pair of shoes from them that didn't fit-I wanted t return it-they said keep it and sent me a new pair(I ended up giving them to my brother. Last week I got as part of my B2G1 sale I got a trevor Rabin CD-it was in-between 2 blu-rays-it was smashed to pieces and scratched. They said to keep me and I got a replacement 3 days later. Target has been doing this with me a few times.

Hey, fellas! I have a little concern regarding a Target pre-order I made and was hoping someone with prior experience might know more about this.

I placed a pre-order for about $50 for an item a couple of months ago using my credit card and it would sit as a "Pending Charge" for about a week, then drop off, then get re-authorized again. This is normal, I know.

Today, I noticed that it was re-authorized again and only shows as one pending transaction on my credit card for about $50.

BUT it seems exactly TWICE that amount has been removed from my Available Balance! It seems they attempted a new authorization (fine), but they never returned the funds from the previous one back to my available balance. They are supposed to go back when it drops off and it has. There is only one transaction for the amount, not two.

Uhh... what the heck, Target? What about folks who budget their balance carefully?

I have another pre-order for about $150 with them. Should I expect to randomly have them take out $300 from my Available Balance whenever they want?

I am not even sure if I should just wait for it to properly reflect, contact my bank, or reach out to Target at this point.

This is why I am not a fan of pre-ordering from them.

The almost constant hold can be frustrating, but this is just next level! haha

Youd have the same problems with walmart.

I hope I don't jinx it, but I've never had this type of problem with Walmart.

When I pre-order with them, they do a pre-authorization once which lasts only a few days, drops off, and returns my funds.

I then don't hear from them again until the week before release when they charge me again. They've never done what Target does to me.

I did have a problem with Walmart recently, but that was a different thing entirely. They claimed "payment failure" due to overselling the Deadpool & Wolverine steelbook. haha

You may not get double charges but walmart will send a preauth on items you cancel weeks before an item even comes out.

Yeah, that does suck. I always hesitate to pre-order with them unless I absolutely have to have the item and don't plan on canceling.

In my opinion, Amazon and Gruv are the best when it comes to pre-orders. I wish all retailers followed their lead.

Robot Dreams BD too... yet that's available on Amazon for $27.......

Well, now that movies can't be returned in store anymore, I will be ordering less from them. I sometimes was willing to a little more for that privilege but now that advantage is gone.

Wait, what?

[Doctor Jack]

They can be returned in store as long as they aren’t opened. If they are they will probably deny it since they won’t have replacements in store.

My backordered Columbia Classics shipped. My backordered Signs and Sixth Sense did not. Got an email saying ETA for them is Nov. 5.

[JurassicBD]

Got a notice that Death Becomes Her is backordered until Nov 5.
