Target Superstore

Target Superstore false advertising Knoxville, Tennessee

31st of May, 2011 by User456303

On 5.25.11 I went to Target to buy a Kindle e-reader that was advertised in their weekly ad and online for $114. I looked at the ad closely because Kindles with sponsor ads are that price anywhere they sell them. I wanted one without the ads. No where on the ad did it say with sponsor ads or special offers. I asked a worker about the Kindles and she started to get one out of the case. The sponsored ones sd $114. I told her I wanted one without the ads and she told me they were $139. I explained the ad did not say that one. She looked and said I was correct. She then called for someone else and they sd the one I wanted was 139 because it had wi-fi. I told her they all had wi-fi. She sd that the 114 was the advertised one and only that one. I what the normal price was and she said $114. I asked why was it in the sale paper and I was told that it was advertised at that price but that did not mean it was on sale. I thought that was what a sale paper listed. She then asked someone else and they refused to sell the other one for the advertised price. I then went to and bought an ad sponsored one after all. When I came home I called customer service at the corp #. I told them why they lost a hundred dollar sale. The rep sd she would tell the advertising dept and corp. she agreed it was not worded correctly. Be careful of Target ads.
