  1. We do the annual trip for shopping like many on this forum... It's always such a great time for my family as we are scattered across the state of PA. It's one time of year that we get together and shop and just act like teenagers again... What we noticed was that due to the online sales starting early, we were able to order our most important stuff and get that out of the way... Then wait until we were ready to shop after dinner (we decided to hold off until midnight) then just go and shop... no hustle to try to get there first, no panic to try and get one particular thing that they only have 5 of... just shop and laugh and have fun.... I think that after doing this for over 10 years now, this was one of the best and most memorable shopping trips that we have had... We saw no police lines, no violent or loud grumbling people.... just other shoppers getting good deals... We shopped from midnight until 2 pm that day... while we were tired, I think we could have went for another few hours if we'd have had the bank account, and a trailer to haul everything! Just the time spent with family that day was awesome, and then to top it off with many deals and some great service (lets not forget those staff that have to work) it was the best shopping trip so far! Kudos's to the folks that decided to take off the pressure by stretching the deals out! Have a great holiday season everyone!
  2. Yes, PDF would be awesome!!
  3. Because they are trying to convince you that even though you bought the item already, if you want it by a certain date you'll have to pay the higher price IN STORE to get it by the date that you actually want it by... I purchased these items at 930am on Thursday.... they continued to sell them until later Friday afternoon ONLINE.... Bait-and-switch - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Bait-and-switch is a form of fraud, most commonly used in retail sales but also applicable to other contexts. First, customers are "baited" by advertising for a product or service at a low price; second, the customers discover that the advertised good is not available and are "switched" to a costlier product. I just wanted to try to help others that may have received the same email as well, as the last day for the price match in store was yesterday... Don't know what else that you could call this.... Instore or Online.... they are still TARGET and I am still the consumer. Like I said, just trying to get the word out to anyone else that may have ended up in this situation. Granted it was only a 10.00 swap, and I would have paid either way, it was more about the principal of the whole ordeal. I do agree, that the manager was great in the way he accommodated me but he had to be, that was already their policy.... It was just that they cannot do it after 7 days. That was why I wanted to spread the word. Hope this explains why I posted... sorry if I offended any loyal Target shoppers... I will continue to shop IN STORE, just not online after this...
  4. I posted in the Target section too, but thought I'd try to inform as many as possible as I was shopping online originally! I just got an email last night that an item "Leapster Explorer Tangled" Game that I ordered on Thanksgiving afternoon is now out of stock online and it won't be in stock to be shipped until January 2012! :mad: I looked online and it says they are available IN STORE.... What a crock! After talking with the customer service agent.... "We cannot price match the online store" I DEMANDED to speak with the manager. :eyepoppin:eyepoppin After speaking with this guy, He mentioned that they can only do it if it was on sale in-store as well, and it has to be within 7 days! Guess what.... today is day 7! I got the email on day 6! And mentioning that the Better Business Bureau was going to hear about this! and some verification that it was "on sale", he was able to pull one from the shelves and hold it for me until later this evening! I will get the in-store BF price which is the same as the online BF sale. But how many others have received this email and not been able to get this far! Hope that it helps someone else out!!!! :cheesy: My daughter is so in love with this tangled movie that THIS was my FIRST selection of games! What a pain in the butt! Good Luck to you! :yup::yup:
