    Westinghouse 40" TV availability in stores

    *UPDATE*

     

    Hey guys I just wanted to give a quick update, maybe it might help someone out. I went to a different Target store last night to the "Guest Service" desk and told them I wanted to check inventory on (DPCI: 008-09-0740) the lady typed the number in, then she then called another girl over they both stared at the monitor for a little bit and one of the girls pointed at the monitor, (I thought she was going to say I could not get it until Friday) but much to my surprise she said they had 8 in stock. I asked if I could get one, but she said that I had to go to the electronics dept and tell them to bring one out. So I went there and handed the DPCI # to the guy working and asked him if he could bring it out, he typed the number in his portable computer and said it came up as not in stock. I told him that I had just talked to Guest Services and that there were 8 in stock, so he called the back with his walkie-talkie and gave them the number and sure enough they brought it out. The weirdest thing was that he asked me “just one?” like he was surprised I was only getting one. Anyway, I paid the $550 plus tax and they even helped me carry out to my car. Now that’s what I call customer service! So on Friday I will stop by Target after the crowd is gone and I’ll just get the price adjusted.

    So even if you guys were told “no” by one store it might still be possible to go to a different store and get the westy. I think the thing that helped me was that I went to guest services and confirmed that the item was in inventory, that way if the electronics dept says they don’t know if the item is in stock you can tell them that guest services confirmed it is. I guess it just depends on your local Target store, anyway good luck and Happy Thanksgiving! :D

    Thanks for the tip about trying different stores. First store said can't sell it as "inventory" is locked. Second store sold it with no questions asked. Good luck!
