Target online failure

[davidc4430]

just tried to place an online order with target

saw they were offering free delivery on orders over $45

so made an order of t-shirts, can never have too many t-shirts

placed the order and five minutes later got a 

Your order could not be processed.

message via email.

Kmart has a similar offer.

So we ordered a few things totalling $46.

We thought the order would be filled at a warehouse. It wasn't.
We received the order in 4 separate parcels from 4 different stores throughout NSW (Armidale, Nowra, Tuggeranong and Castle Hill). Even with Australia Post discounts the delivery must have cost them a fair bit.

I think they are happy to just keep a cash flow going - even at a loss for a time

i gave up after 45 minutes

just visited targets facebook page

lots of very unhappy posters

one waited an hour and a half on hold before the line went dead

not the way to stay in business

minimally a recorded message saying 'we cant answer calls now'

or something!
