Why won’t Target deliver to my zip code?

[Anonymous]

I have been searching the internet for disinfectant wipes, and finally some showed up this morning on Target.com. But the when I go to check out it says they won’t deliver to my zip code (Rockville, MD, 20853 if anyone cares). Why? It gives me some message about serving all customers and not shipping to certain zip codes. Hello? Is there some Conspiracy to keep infection rates high in Montgomery County by preventing people from accessing cleaning supplies? Is my zip code too wealthy? Not wealthy enough? Anyone know why? I am mostly joking about conspiracies and such, but I confess the lockdown is getting tome and my sanity sometimes feels tenuous these days!

Maybe there have been too many claims about stolen deliveries in that zipcode and they stopped making deliveries?

Go do curbside pickup

I’ve had the same issue for the last 3 months. Started with Costco and now Target. I assume it’s because they want to be able to spread out deliveries to zipcodes across the US and at this point your (and my) zip code have ordered their allotment of critical supplies.

I just stopped ordering from places that won't deliver or do curbside pickup.

Instacart seems to be scammy with the inflated charges, so won't do that either.

I just tried and it won't deliver wipes to 22182 or 22101 or 22202 either.

They are out of stock not that they won’t deliver to your zip code.

I don't actually think it's your ZIP code. Ive tried the same thing multiple times. I think it's more an issue of their inventory tracking.

It's this. I've had the same experience with multiple items. Keep checking, and you'll eventually be able to order them (like I did).

Because it comes from warehouses, like Amazon and not individual stores and those warehouses only deliver to specific catchment zones.

This. It's distribution not some grand conspiracy

I think it just means they’re out of last mile capacity in your zip code right now.

These things are shaking out but for the first month, my friend in DC ordered groceries to my house in PG because there were so many more delivery windows. It’s just about uneven capacity.

What are you doing with wipes?

[b] I live in Fairbanks Alaska. We have three stores in the Anchorage area, WHY don’t they ship a lot of items in state. There are very few items that ship from Anchorage to Fairbanks.
