Target is a chain of department stores in the United States of America. It is a big-box retailer that sells a variety of stuff like clothes, and electronic equipment just to name a few. Have you ever bought alcohol and you got home and realized you got the wrong brand and you were hesitant to drive back to the store only to be turned back? Well, worry no more. Can you return the alcohol to target? we will address this question in this article.
Yes you can return alcohol to Target provided that it is unopened or even if it is opened the actual bottle is not opened, you have the receipt or another means to prove that you made the purchase and you return the alcohol within 90 days or 120 days if you paid using the Target red card or a year if you are target plus.
The process of returning products to target is as follows:
Visit the store and go to the counter labeled “Customer service”
Give the product to the person there plus your receipt
The person there will inspect your product and if they meet the requirements above then the person will issue a refund or you can then be allowed to exchange the product for another one of the same cost.
If you bought the alcohol online at Target.com then follow the following instructions:
Log in to your account
Go to orders on Target.com or purchases on the Target application
Find the order you want to return and select it
Click on return an item
Select the means you want to return the item, there is an option to return it physically to the store where you take the barcode to a store, and then a store employee will help with the return or you can choose to return by mail where after you select return you will be asked to state a reason for your return and you can choose one from the drop-down menu that will pop-up, then you will be asked to choose if you want to replace the alcohol or get a refund, then you will be asked to give a shipping address after that you can submit and then you can print a mailing address which you will put together with your order and receipt. Put the return label after you have wrapped the package.
Drop off your order at an official UPS station and wait until the order is processed and then you can get your return or refund.
The factors that determine if a product can be returned are as follows:
Open or defective collectibles for example baseball cards
Items that have been personalized or have been downloaded and printed online
Opened or unsealed breast pumps
Gift Cards cannot be exchanged for cash.
Also in the absence of a receipt, the sales attendant may refuse to take the item back as there is no evidence that you bought it.
The refund takes up to two days from the date that they are approved. That is not from the day that you returned them, since they have to be inspected and approved. You can track your purchases online so that you see the progress in real-time and get a timeline to when you can get the money back or get a new product.
Refunding a credit card that is not registered under your name takes longer as they have to check the identity and verify the details of the person the refund is getting to, so they normally take up to 5 days after the products have been approved.
Returns that are mailed take much longer because of the transit period and the inspection period. It takes them an average of 7-10 business days to get a refund or a return.
The return can be in the form of cash if the original payment was made in cash, debit, or credit card if the original payment was made using either of those methods or through a check can be issued. Additionally, if the payment method used was a Target Red card then the amount of the product will be credited to the red card account and if you paid using a gift card then the money will be returned to the gift card account. The amount you paid to get the item shipped may also be returned depending on the reason you gave for returning the item.
Conclusion
Whatever the reason for choosing to return an item to Target, be it that the alcohol expired or the brand was not the one you intended on buying, or the packaging was altered, it should not stress you out when you want to return the item. Just follow the steps above and get an exchange or return.
