OPENING SPIEL*
*Thank you so much for calling Target.com, my name is ---- how may I help you?
Thank you for raising that concern to us and thank you for remaining so positive. There's nothing to be worry, you've reached the right person. Rest assured I will do the very best that I can to assist you. To start with, may I have your order number please?
It is (Order Number) Did I got correctly?
While I'm pulling up my resources, can you please verify to me your first and last name and your email address on the account
POWER RECAP
Before I let you go, I just wanna make sure that we are all set regarding on your concern.. so what I did for you today is ______.
I hope Target and I was able to resolved your concern and aside from this, is there anything else that I can possibly help you with?
***DELIVERED BUT NOT RECEIVED ***
Would you mind me asking.
Have you already check your backdoor? Cause sometimes there's a scenarios where our courier tends to leave the package there. Or have you already ask your neighbors or relatives that they might received the item for you?
Just to make sure we have the correct address it is (Address
Sometimes we've seen our carriers mark packages delivered up to two days before our guests receive them.
Carriers may mark packages delivered in error. Errors are usually identified at the end of the day when drivers review the remaining packages in their trucks. These errors are very often corrected within one to two days.
Is it possible for you to wait for another 24-48 hrs. for the shipment to arrived? because there's a big possibility you will received the item by the next day. If in case the package still did not show up after 48 hrs. that's the time you can give us a call back and we will provide corresponding option for you.
I will provide here a reference number for the assurance of our call today (provide case number)
DAMAGE ITEM
In behalf of target, I do apologized that you receive the item damage but since you have me on the line I can guarantee you that we'll going to provide you the best resolution. May I know how is it damage so that I can provide documentation regarding to what you experienced.
MISSED EDD
I’m sorry your order didn’t arrive on the date you expected it will be delivered, I know how it feels for not getting the item I ordered so rest assured I will definitely help you.
CHANGING OF ADDRESS*
Normally we can change shipping address once the item/order was in transit but in this scenario the order was only order placed and not really in transit so it will be in transit status once the order/shipment arrived to the facility of the carrier and you will see these updates on the tracking status once it arrived on the carriers facility and that is the best time to call us back so we can contact the carrier and request to change the shipping address on the order
PROMOTIONAL GIFTCARD
Your promotional gift card was shipped separately. Because free gift cards ship separately, we need to assign them a value in order to process and ship them to you.
You'll notice two separate charges on your payment method.
When a free Target Gift Card is offered with a qualifying item, you'll be charged the amount of the qualifying item reduced by a Target discount equal to the amount of the gift card, and you'll be charged a separate amount for the value of the gift card.
The combination of the two transactions will total your original order amount, so you're not being charged additional for the gift card.
*AUTHORIZATION HOLD or DOUBLE CHARGE
I apologize for the confusion you are having right now .The billing you see is not an actual charge, this is just the initial total amount once you placed an order here in Target.com, and the breakdown you see is the actual charge happening in your account once the order was being picked up to our warehouse. Rest assured that you are not double charge.
The 1st amount is just a representation of the total amount of the item purchased that you will be paying.
The 2nd amount is the amount that will be charge to the account once the item has already been picked up from our warehouse.
FRAUD//HOA*
I just want to let you know that there are certain items restricted to us to provide an option for the moment and only our higher department can provide resolution on those items, these items you are pertaining to belongs to it. But you don't need to worry cos I already submitted here a report to our back end team and they will conduct now a thorough investigation along with our carrier about this issue.
You may expect an email resolution from our order research team within 1-7 business days. I hope you could understand that we need to conduct first investigation on this concern of your but rest assure Target and I won't leave you behind without resolving this concern what I can highly suggest for you now is to check your email from time to time thank you so much
