Yep, checked first thing this morning and came to post here but you already had.
As far as clothing, I only ordered the b/w zig zag tee in both large and x-large to see which fit I like better since I can return to store. I didn't need to order any of the "hot" sweater items because unfortunately I already paid dearly for them on ebay, as I'm sure many of you did also. Grrr. I also just ordered one of the oblong ceramic platters and the round ceramic platter which are now back in stock. Now let's all say a little prayer for the espresso set, although I am pretty sure it won't ever become available because of the way it is listed. It says no longer available for purchase, whereas some of the other items say out of stock online. That may mean the prep bowls have a chance of coming back in stock.
Thank you very much. This worked like a charm and just a reminder to shop thru e.b.a.t.e.s. for 3% cash back.
What I believe is going on is that they produced more of these items to fulfill orders that had been placed on Sept 13th, 14th, etc., just like they produced more of the throws. I had ordered the brown open cardi, Emma Roberts cardi, umbrellas, etc. and really never expected to receive them as the date kept getting pushed back. I finally received those items in the couple days leading up to Christmas. They did seem to work hard to get those items in time for the holidays. As a matter of fact, my last item arrived by USPS instead of UPS and I believe they did that because there is no UPS delivery on Saturday and they wanted me to get it before Xmas.
As far as clearancing the items in the store, well, that's the way that Target has always done that. They have a very strict schedule they go by to get items in AND out of the store.
Did you get charged for those items? Target sent my sweater for no charge according to the email. (I have to check my statement). That's great that they tried to get you yours before Christmas. Mine was supposedly shipped 12/20, finally arrive UPS on 12/29.
I am just surprised Missoni is ok with this. It is really being drug out.
I too bought off ebay at inflated prices, because I thought this stuff was never coming back in stock. I just wish that they would've released a statement to let customers know that items were on back order & would be fullfilled.
