My order status

[ravenb99]

it is pretty bad,  Finally got unbanned from target and tested an order of 8 sets.  They sent me 3 so had to call and get refunded on first order back in 3 years.

Walmart been over stuffing boxes and 2 busted,  one was missing sets and the other had at least a quart of motor oil leaked down in the box.  Probably not their fault other than shipping that many sets in a huge box with one piece of tape.  Bright side free oil!

got my two packages, each a set of 2 Nascars.

both came a day after I ordered so cool.

in bags, all boxes had some dentage but not terrible

1 was missing, customer service chat and got refund

So I ordered 2 sets of 2 Nascars yesterday, just actually received 3, all dented..maybe 1 is reasonable shelf wear and the other had ends pushed in.

How did you get unbanned from Target? I’ve been banned for almost 7 years now. Insta-cancel every time I order online with my red card.

Was it automatic or did you have to call and/or jump through hoops? Just curious.

I haven’t tried my card in awhile. I’ve been using my wife’s account.

No clue.  Hadnt tried in about a year. Was same thing insta cancel every time.  Tried again and shipped. Was from 2021 during the 25 off 100 toys.  Was maxing out the 10 or so per day it would work then after about 2 weeks no more.  Never been able to order again. Did open a new account with warehouse address few years ago and few orders went through before they banned that one.  This was on my original.

I have been trying to figure out Targets fraud detection for the past 3-4 years.

If you create a new account, you have to use a different browser you've never logged into, a new internet connection (vpn), and you have to keep your initial purchases under 200$. Limiting your purchases to a few a day.

Commercial Addresses, follow the same rules above, but have even more aggressive triggers for a ban. A single high value purchase can result in a ban.

I recently quit my day job (in this economy???) and started selling full time. I'm going to spend some time this summer seeing if I can successfully circumvent targets fraud detection. I usually just avoid Target because it tends to be a waste of my time, placing orders only to have half of them cancelled and then I end up with a pile of random sets I have to mess around packing in a mixed box and pay 40$ to ship the dang thing.

lol.

mine also says preparing, but it means nothing. I cancelled my preparing peach castles no problems.

For me, it went oos right after I ordered, so I feel like Im first in line for any cancellations.

Mine just left base, it’s on the way. Hes slow but reliable, unless someone has a thermal detonator.

Received three of my WalMart $97 Corvettes today, each one ordered individually.  Each came in a hard clamshell box inside another heavy weight box.  Maybe the retailers are finally realizing that it is cheaper to use quality packaging than to give refunds, but I doubt it.

I placed some orders yesterday for those clearance items at Kohl's that dropped this morning. I was able to chat and get Kohl's cash for the difference in the price drops. YMMV

[Matt's Stacks]

Was anyone able to get a $340 At-At from Kohl's?

[mplsabdullah]

Received a couple $10ish sets from kohls recently in bags. Boxes where destroyed of course. One almost ripped in half. Received one single $10 set from kohls from the same order. They put that in a large box with bubble wrap. 🤔

If Kohl's blows it out, they must be really slow sellers. I was tempted by the Duplo fire station but the box is too damn big.

looks like you won the annual kohls box this year. this is a great honor as it's well known they share that one shipping box across all their stores. you can always pay it forward by taking it back to your nearest store.

I was up around 1:30 am EST with our toddler and happened to stumble across the sale. I frantically got in 2 $200ish orders of some of the Ninjago, Minecraft, and the City sub. 2nd order included the JP T-Rex set. The large Ninjago Dragon and the JP Brachiosaurus sets were down to the last couple and sold out before I was able to complete the first order. 

I got my toddler back to bed and moved on to deal with our fussy newborn (fun night!), and checked back around 2:30 and my entire 2nd order was cancelled. I don't know if it was some sort of fraud detection or if everything had legitimately sold out in the 5 minutes between order 1 and 2. I was able to place a small order at 2:30 for a couple of things that were still in stock, and when I got up with the newborn again at 5am pretty much everything was done. 

Not sure when it went live - if it started at midnight EST then there was probably a fair amount of stuff in stock then, at least of the midrange sets that were selling out under my feet.

2 Duplo Family House & 26 Liann's Room - Hopefully they're not bagged & pancaked.

A  lot of sets went live with 1-2 units or were OOS before they were live.

 

Have any Eastcoasters been to Kohl's B&M to see if these sets are for sale (and in stock) at this price?
