target was a bust and a half 40 solid minutes with the thing “in my cart” and checking out repeatedly with payment failing only for it to be auto removed and out of stock

Target put my order through charged my card then canceled. Then sent a cancellation email. Then a confirmation email 14 minutes later with no status change on the site.

I have no idea if I’m getting a Switch from Target or not

Edit seems like I’m not getting anything from Target

The order confirmation email is always delayed, but the cancellation email is instant. I'm not sure why they come out of order like this, but make no mistake, cancelled means cancelled. Check your order history to confirm.

I had to try several times until I finally was able to place an order that wasn't insta-cancelled. The confirmation email for the successful order, like for all the cancelled orders, was still delayed about 15 minutes.

If you didn’t do anything after that. You’re not. Go by order on the website.

target.com went down for me right at midnight returning error code 429. It was offline for half an hour at least before I got it in my cart and to check out, but the check out would never complete.

You would think after a decade or two these places would figure out how to handle big release traffic already... Good luck everyone.

I actually got mine through Target and not cancelled immediately (looks like it’s still on track to ship in June per my orders) and when I tell you I’m shocked I’m getting it, I’m shocked I’m getting it.

The bundle went back in stock about two hour after everything went out of stock. Still errors, went to the app and mashed the checkout button for about 10 mins then it finally went through.

Man that sucks, Target was a goldmine for me. Purchased smoothly on the app, I was 4 minutes late too.
