Target is tightening up their return policy according to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. Currently Target doesn’t allow any cash/check returns without a receipt for items over $40, but in August that limit will drop to $20. Customers who bought their items with credit or debit cards will still be able to return items without a receipt.
“While we expect the changes to … impact a very small number of guests, our goal is to minimize losses regardless of amount,” said Amy von Walter, a Target spokeswoman. Hold on those receipts! —MEGHANN MARCO
Target turns into more of a stickler on returns [Star-Tribune]
I’m a loyal Target shopper and have driven hours just to go shop at Target as opposed to other stores. That is I WAS. I just had my baby shower and received a gift off my registry that someone did not give a gift receipt for. Well they wouldn’t even let me exchange it for another item that was $50 more than this item. I tried to explain how rude it was to call up my friend and ask her to give me or get me a gift receipt but Target simply wouldn’t hear of it. I called and emailed customer service and they didn’t even care. Well with that said I decided to no longer shop at Target until they change they’re return policy. In fact I just went to walmart and spent $300 on baby stuff that Target could have received. I’m also going to be telling everyone I know what awful customer service Target has, to hopefully discourage them from shopping there. It makes me sad because I love shopping Target, but they need to remember that the customer always comes first.
I have been a shopper at Target, until now. I am furious with their policy regarding Wedding and Shower gifts. HOW tacky and socially unacceptable it is for a new bride to ask someone for a gift receipt. Many people forget to get one and often times are not given the option at the time of purchase. NOW if you are going to institute this type of policy you should ask the person purchasing off a registry if they need a gift receipt. Macy’s does…and many other stores do. Somehow this information is stored on the items that have been purchased list by the store. In fact, I know they are. I understand for other purchases but for registry’s????? This is absolutely ridiculous. I love the items that Target offers and as many of you consumers should know…they have scanner guns that scan only THEIR bar codes. So, how can they be ripped off. And if the item is found on their registry and they are returning one…it’s a no brainer! BAD POLICY!! Shame on you TARGET!
