Medela FAIL

daisygirl17 · January 2011

Oye...so I bought it yesterday at full price then hit up two other targets that were out of stock. Both had it priced at $340 (on sale).

So today, I called another target and they told me the magical words...$94.98. So, I drove out there..took about half an hour, only to have the sole customer service rep (who happened to be the manager) tell me that they wouldn't do it. Clearance items needed to be re-stocked, meaning it wouldn't be out till tomorrow morning. I tried to ask what the difference was between me giving target $95 or someone else, and she went into some spiel about clearance items. Sigh...I was so excited!!

There are still 3 other targets around me that have it listed out of stock, but each would take a minimum of 35-45 minutes to get to...some possibly an hour. At this point, I'm wondering if it's worth it. DH just keeps saying we'll find me a good breast pump and just to return it. But I HATE passing up on such an amazing deal!

So jealous of all ya'll who got it to work no problem!

Are you sure that they don't restock several times a day? I got mine yesterday and had to wait for them to restock it too. I ended up waiting 40 mins by the customer service desk until that dept person came for their restocks. Then I followed them right to the shelf and picked it up as soon as she set it down. Turns out that all depts have to do their restocks before taking their lunch break.

Its an almost $300 savings...totally worth it in my opinion.

I actually had 2...one was a successful swap out...but the 2nd, ugh! The girl insisted on opening the box for the return part...even tho it was clearly never opened, still sealed in the Madela tape. She then said they had to defect it out...because it had been opened, she would not sell it back to me under any circumstance. And then she just defected out the box and threw all of the parts and pieces in the trash. It was rediculous.

The 2nd was for a friend...I guess she is out of luck now.

WOW are you serious? Sounds like the employee was having a bad day and didn't want to watch someone score a great deal. That's a lot of crap and I've never heard of that before......maybe if it's "defective" they get the full price back from Medela so the sales lady ended up saving Target some dough?

Anyway, I have the pump from my first pregnancy and it is totally worth it....I'd have loved to have gotten it for $94 but it is worth the fully price.

For me it's not that hard to get to multiple targets and luckily it worked on my first try but what about this - return it tonight RIGHT before they close. Show up RIGHT when they open tomorrow???

If my Target has it stocked full price, how do I get them to do a price adjustment? I guess its just certain targets that have it on clearance?

Also, what version of the pump in style is on clearance?

I am seeing a few versions:

PIS Advanced with Metro Bag
PIS Advanced with Backpack
PIS Advanced On the Go Tote
