Question Target?

Why is Target (Online) sold out of everything I wanna purchase? I thought the purpose of online shopping was not only convenience, but the ability to get items that the store doesn't carry/are out of... ugghh

Unhappy same here

We are military living overseas and we do all of our shopping online. I was really excited to get the after Christmas specials- but every website for all retail stores are either out of everything or just don't carry what I need. I was wanting to stock up on bows, ribbon, Christmas cards, wrapping paper and whatever deals I see online- but havn't found anything good. For the Christmas items online all that it seems that you can buy is the trees, lights and outdoor decorations. They say that those items are clearanced on all the websites but they are only like $10 off-- that is not a clearance. I was looking at toys in the clearnace section and they are also only marked down $10 or so. WHAT IS THE DEAL!!!!! I am so aggrivated about this-- Us military people living over seas- all we have is the BX_ which is nice but we need some variety- that is why we prefer to do online shopping- I am so bummed. WHAT TO DO?>???

Have you thought of having somone in the states do the shopping for you and then ship it to you ? That may be better in the long run. I would not think that they would put stuff like bows etc on their websites.

There is one lady on here who is going to get me some bows and other Christmas clearance. But what about all the toys- if they are clearancing them in the stores in the states- why are they not making them as cheap on there websites- Some times it just sucks you know!!!

yeah... *sigh* i wasn't even seeking the clearance deals; i just wanted to order me some cute argyle shirts that i can rarely find in the stores (or, that i rarely look for but when i do they don't have what i want...) guess i'll just have to wait 'til the after-Christmas online shopping subdues. hope you're able to find the good deals you're searching for

Hopefully! The one and only reason why I hate living overseas is the shopping part of it. It sucks- We got our kids several gifts from the BX and our neighbors all got their kids the same thing- clothes, shoes, rip-stick, skatebaords and even helments. ALL well- Hope there will soon be some good deals for the online stores.
