was it a sticker box version? so far all my recent orders from lego did not have stickers.

I just received a stickered Treehouse from SAH.  The Hot Rod shipped in a separate box.

Same here.  My roller coaster which just came yesterday was the same - sticker.  So were the London Architecture sets. 

I think at this point it might be more informative to share if we receive one that doesn't have stickers.

FWIW, I posted an hour ago that I received a roller coaster without stickers. Look a few posts up.

Those stickers make the sets look like fake products

Real LEGO at fake LEGO prices? I’m in!

Yes, it seems that any set being sold today that has been out of stock and has had more than one available when it came back — even briefly — is a coronastickered set.
If you get a sealed lego shipping box and it looks like it came from Fort Worth, it probably has stickers as well — I think that’s where they are applying a lot of the stickers.  I’ve seen shipping boxes shipped from there to Amazon that were then put in an Amazon box and shipped to me. Openen them up... stickers!

 

So I guess Resellers that run a buisness should let those stickers on the Boxes...because your law -am I right?

Target sucks...

There are going to be so many of these marked 30% off in stores because of this. I selected gift on the one I ordered and the FedEx package dimensions of 24x17x16 suggest they may have actually packed it in a box.

That's not pleasant... are you gonna return those?

My wife already ran them back to the store. These were delivered 30 minutes ago and returned 10 minutes ago. No hassles.

Card is in my wife’s name so she gets to handle my returns...lol. Target banned me from buying online almost two years ago because apparently I buy too much and they don’t like money [emoji52].

A return this large concerns me that they might dig into her order history and ban her card too, but there is no way I’m keeping these when I paid full retail minus red card.

I’ve never had this happen before. I’ve only heard the horror stories posted here. I guess I’m part of the club now. [emoji23]

I’m off to Amazon and Shop at Home to order replacements!

I been using around 1k in gift cards for recent target orders and today two orders got canceled.  I'm wondering if I am now banned from target.

How do you know you are banned?  They won't let you buy anything with your red card etc?

Ha.  Exactly how I received mine a while back.  Wouldn't be surprised if they are mine . . .

to return a big order like this is always my concern, worrying they could ban me afterwards. so far I am still under the radar.

so for any big set, I am trying to either buy from Amazon or LEGO Shop at Home, even walmart. Target packaging is constantly bad these days.

i think your order will get instant cancelled, any order associated with your physical address, name, ip, mac address will be cancelled

Then what happens to the gift card on the account?  Should I bother calling?  

This is the message I got... on the website.  I bought multiple anakin's starfighter...

 

What went wrong?

It’s possible our system automatically canceled for one of the following reasons: Purchase limit exceeded To ensure as many families as possible can buy essentials, we’ve applied temporary purchase limits to key items. Read more about Target’s coronavirus response   .

I think this is one of the excuses they used, just like B&N and walmart. when they ban you, always stated can't verify your payment info.

I think your gift card is fine, just further online order from your account will be cancelled if you are banned. You can still use those gift cards in store.

I was under the impression from *#&#^ that less than 8k a day was ok but i didn't ask if it was ok if i used mainly gift cards.... i still have a pickup order... hmnn  i am tempted to try to order something else with my redcard... but..... dunno....

these bans are really... counter productive...

Using too many gift cards can raise a flag for some reason. Not sure if they suspect they could be stolen? Not saying they are, saying some systems are set to flag for certain payment methods that recur on an account.

I had bought a bunch of them during the december sale... 

When you are banned from Target, can you still use the target red card at the store... or ur banned there too?  Just didn't think I would be banned there...

While I have never been banned from Target, I did receive a warning letter once years ago before my hiatus.  During that time I routinely made $2k+ orders all with gift cards (with a little left for Red Card).  I mixed my orders up more, and tried to spread them out a bit more as well, but nothing ever came of it.  

It's possible your order being cancelled was just a glitch or you triggered something.  It happens and all may still  be good.  I've had it happen.

It's also possible one of your gift cards was linked to fraud.  I got banned from B&N years ago because I gift card I bought online was linked to fraud.

Thanks.... i may lay low a bit... been a target member since 2013.  Also own their stock lol.. not sure that matters to them....  All the Gift Cards I bought from target when they had the 10% off so they are legit...

 

i can also use the gift cards incognito at the store i imagine...  ... i am kinda.... curious... if i am banned.....
