In looking at the Target ad, I see that the 40" Westinghouse LCD HDTV is NOT a doorbuster. This being the case, has anyone checked to see if this tv is normally in-stock at the store? I know they sell it online, but have not had a chance to go to or contact my local Target to check.

Yes, you can buy this TV today and get it Price Adjusted on Fri Nov 26th or Sat Nov 27th to get it at the Black Friday Sale Price of 298$.

 

Go to the customer service desk and ask them to see if they have the following item in stock. Hand them a piece of paper with the following numbers on it.

 

DPCI: 008-09-0740

 

If they have it in stock tell them you would like to buy one and to have one brought out to you. Then, just bring your receipt into ANY Target during the sale dates to get your adjustment.

 

I have been doing this for two years running and it works great. Some Target's may not sell you the TV because of how close it is to BF.

Good Luck, I specifically asked my target and they said no price matching or adjustments on anything listed as a doorbuster in the ad. They have the TV's in stock but they won't credit you back the money on anything listed as a doorbuster. Talked to my store manager and he showed me a memo from their corporate office.

HERE is the Target Price Adjustment Policy. No mention of timed events, doorbusters or BF sale prices. Call Target's 1-800 customer service line and they will tell you the same thing.

 

Not that it matters but the 40" Westy LCD isn't a doorbuster item. Look at the ad scan again. It's part of the 2-day sale. Price adjustments can be made on Fri or Sat.

 

For those of you going for the adjustment be sure to have the Target Adjustment policy on-hand just in case managers start making their own rules.

I went to target last night, as I was walking by the electronics dept, I saw a lady come out the back where they keep the merchandise and asked her if she had that item (DPCI: 008-09-0740) in stock. She looked it up in her little portable thingamabobber and said that number did not come up, so she asked me what it was and I told her it was a 40" Westinghouse TV. She did a search again and said the only thing that came up was a 32" and a 42" not the 40" so I told her thanks but being the hardheaded person that I am I went to the electronics service desk and asked if they had it in stock again. This lady typed it in her computer and gave me a look and said where did you get this #? I told her a friend gave it to me, she said those will not be available until the sale, and I said but you have them in stock? she said that even if they were in stock they could not sell them to me, until that day. :tongue1: So that was my adventure last night BTW this is my first post Whoot!

*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!
