To ensure that Target.com shoppers receive their orders in time for the holidays, “estimated delivery dates” are provided for all items listed on Target.com.
“At Target.com, we are committed to being the go-to, budget-friendly, convenient shopping destination for our guests,” said Steve Eastman, president of Target.com. “By lengthening the duration of this year’s direct-to-home free-shipping event and expanding the number of items available for free shipping, we’re able to provide our guests with outstanding value while making the holiday shopping experience more convenient and affordable than ever.”
