Target.com and the poor UPS guy

The last time I tried to order a bunch of cheap curtains from Target.com, I ended up getting an email rvery week for a couple of months saying your order is delayed, would you like to keep waiting? It was totally obvious that they were never going to come, so I just canceled the order.

 

So like a year later I decide to break down and order a pair of cheap full panel maternity jeans to work around the house. I don't want to go $80 Gap denim to play in the garden (and can't get anything locally because I am short) so I order from Target. All in stock. 1 pair of jeans, three nursing tanks (all the same, different colors), and two 2 packs of nursing bras. Free shipping because I don't really care when the stuff comes. 

 

How many packages can they make from that? 3. Which is fine, but I live on a crazy little mountain road and the poor UPS guy has to do truck acrobatics every time he comes to my house.

 

And one of the packs of nursing/sleep bras is on backorder. I'm sorry, but I know enough about inventory systems to know that it is either in stock or not. Why say it is when its not? Ooooh yeah, because I would've just ordered something that was and we can't have that.

 

No, this isn't a big problem, but Lord, why do I bother with Target? Are they always like this or am I just special? I've never had this problem with anything from Amazon and they use the same system.

    Funny you posted about Target.  I just went to the store to get something that, when I checked the online site, said it was in stock in the store.  Guess what...it wasn't.  Came home to find the Pack N' Play and burp cloths I had ordered from Target last week on our front porch.  The box is completely ripped.  Opened it up and both packs of burp cloths were completely opened.  And the receipt...it's for the wrong person and the wrong products (racer back bras to be exact).  And my receipt, nowhere to be found...

    We live far from our hometowns so we're receiving a lot of things from our Target registry via mail.  I also do a lot of my shopping online.  So far we've had big heavy boxes a few times and small things arriving almost daily...  I think the UPS people must hate us.
