they can charge tax on shipping and it varies from state to state the rules, but if it $0 then 0 x tax rate = 0, but more than likely they charged you shipping and then credited you the shipping charge and therefore they can charge tax on it

Target customer service by phone is pathetic. They are of no help in answering any of my questions either!
Back to topic... I want you to know that I have a different experience than yours regarding the tax issue. I paid my orders by credit card, and notice that Target doesn't charge my card until an item gets shipped, and since my orders total over a certain amount, I get free shipping as well, and they only charge tax ON the amount of the item WHEN they ship the item, not on shipping costs as well... what I don't get is that you are already not charged for shipping costs since your orders are over $50, where do you see that they are charging you tax on shipping??
I check my credit card statement online meticulously to see each and every transaction Target makes since this whole fiasco is such a mess... but so far... no problems on my end.
Thanks Lisa! I'm so glad I got it. Someone else was selling it at a starting bid of $60 without the plastic bag that it came in. I don't know if I'm weird or what but I feel like if it didn't came with the packaging it's eh... it is bedding and you will sleep on it! Lol. And the thing is the bid is at $172 and it's not ending for another 8 hours. I feel like I got a good deal
My only complaint is that my down comforter is a little smaller than the duvet itself, so there's some looseness. Is yours like that too?
Did you use the ties in the corner of the duvet to tie the comforter to it? This way it won't shift around.
Ughh, you used pay pal--I feel sorry for you. Hopefully, it is just another system error, and they will actually only ship one. (But it does worry me that they may charge me for three and ship one.) I think maybe that is why they wouldn't let me cancel my item, because three were showing up and that is an error. Anyway, it still stinks because if the item becomes available, and ships to me, someone else misses out. And I have to do more returns to the store. But it's their fault. What else can you do?
Yeah, I know---there isn't much you can do! So dissapointed in Target.
Yes, I know I have purchased things online where they charge tax on shipping/handling. Yes, you are correct, they charged shipping and then credited it, but I feel that because they state there is free shipping on orders over $50, they should not charge and then credit for it. To me that is just giving them another way to stick it to us!

Because I used a Target giftcard to pay, the money is immediately taken out of the giftcard. So my online order summary and my confirmation email shows the total and tax that is charged, so I can see that I was charged tax on the shipping cost. Each time I placed an order using my giftcard #, it tells you what your balance is on your giftcard beforehand. Then it takes it off, and I would then call to get my balance and it had been deducted. I had a lot of money on that giftcard, so my online purchases from the 13th and 14th brought it down to less than $50, which I then went to Target and promptly used up the remaining balance incase they mistakenly tried charging me again (not an unlikely scenario considering their screwups during this fiasco).
In retrospect, I wish I HAD used my credit card instead of the giftcard (bc then I could dispute if I was charged incorrectly), but it just made sense at the time to use my gift card money since it can only be used at Target.

Sammi, I bought and returned several comforters/duvet covers, until I found the combo I wanted. Trying to recreat the look of the add, mini chevrons, with the creeping floral shams. None of them came in a plastic bag, they were all packaged in a cloth bag with a grosgrin ribbon wrap around.
My duvet set is here! The colors are definitely a bit off from the stock photo, but still beautiful!
It matches perfectly with the passione throw
How pretty! Are the colors brighter or just different from what you thought they would be?
Good thing you already had the matching throw.
It seems the packaging is different for in store and online purchases. The duvet set I got from online came in a clear plastic bag with the bedding really tightly squeezed into it. However the beddings I saw in stores were packaged as your description.
Put it shortly, I didn't get the fabric cover few ladies here mentioned of making into pillow covers.
Minatol: Thank you for pointing out the difference between the online and the store. I didn't think about making the cloth cover into a pillow, what a great idea!!
I didn't know they had this! I will have to check when I get home! This is inside right? I'm so clueless... lol.
The plastic bag is for online items, the ones from in store is like a cloth "bag". But this seller was selling the online item with no packaging at all. No plastic bag, no cloth bag.

I know! Thank goodness. You know, from the stock picture it looks more like a purple/pink, but in real life it looks more like a cranberry red, the majority of the duvet. I will try to get a better pic today with better lighting.

Aw that would totally be a great idea! Wish the online stuff came with that too.
Can't wait to see your finished product
Hello ladies,
I recently discovered Missoni for Target and I am looking to buy the zig zag dress
http://sassymomsinthecity.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/missoni-zig-zag-sweater.png
I am a little bit confused because ebay auctions don't mention many details and the photos don't show the colour combination well... I saw that the main colour is brown...
Was it available only in browns? Or is there another colour combination (e.g. with black)?
TIA!
