Target shipping

I need something by Thursday.  If I do standard shipping, it says it will ship Monday and take 3-5 business days.  If I do 2 day shipping, it says it will ship today, and of course will take 2 business days.  Standard shipping is $6, 2 day is $19. 

I'm not sure why it won't ship today with standard shipping.  But do you think it would be here by Thursday if it ships Monday and takes 3-5 days?  I hate to pay $13 extra dollars for shipping, but I really need it before we leave for the beach on Thursday, and it's my fault for waiting too long.

Re: Target shipping

  • Honestly, I have found them to be on the slow side with getting things shipped. ?It also depends on where it is shipping from. ? If it is coming from the East Coast, you should be fine, but if it is coming from farther away, it probably would not make it. ?I would not bank on it being there by Thursday with standard shipping, though it is very possible it could be.

  • I've also found them to be really slow.  Sometimes it takes a couple of days for them to even get it out the door.  I'd pay more if you really need it by Thursday.

    I have found them to be slow also.  I wouldn't count on standard getting it here in time.

  • I agree, they have very slow shipping.  I ordered a pair of shoes thinking they would be here in the 3 to 5 business days, and it was def closer to 7. No chance they have it in any stores??
  • Or try Amazon? They are much faster!
  • OK, so definitely need to pay for 2 day shipping.  I'll check Amazon.  They have it but the shipping was more.  But it might not be if I'm going to have to expedite it.  They don't carry it in Target stores.  I'll do some more digging, thanks!

    If Amazon has it, check and see if it is eligible for free two day shipping under Amazon Prime and then sign up for the 30 day trial. ?A lot of the Target stuff is not eligible, but sometimes it is, so it doesn't hurt to check!?

    That's what I did!  Now I just have to remember to cancel it in 30 days.  That's actually pretty cool if you ordered alot, but $79 a year is pretty expensive.  I guess I need to order a bunch of stuff in the next 30 days :)

    It is very cool, but I don't shop quite enough to get the $79 worth, but we did the free trial last Christmas and it was so nice to not have to worry about it getting there in time and not having to meet the $25 for free shipping to each person we wanted to buy for.?

    Very cool!  I always forget about Amazon when I'm shopping online, I don't know why.  But they have a great selection and fast shipping for a decent price, so I'll have to use them in the future.

  • I've never bought anything from them online just bc I think their shipping is $$$.  It also annoys me that stuff is either online or in store only.  Stupid.
