Target will accept returns on most unopened items in new condition within 90 days. If you are a Target Red Card holder, you will get an extra 30 days to return nearly all items. While their policy is quite accommodating, there are a few exceptions:
- Electronics and entertainment-related purchases must be returned within 30 days. For items purchased between Nov. 1 and Dec. 25, the 30-day refund period will start on Dec. 26.
- All mobile phones, regardless of brand, must be returned within 14 days.

Final Take
Even though all Target stores are marked with the iconic red-and-white bull’s-eye, that doesn’t mean that the holiday hours will be the same from one location to the next.
Their in-store services, like CVS Pharmacy, Optical Center and Starbucks also might have different hours than the store itself, so it is best to confirm them in advance before you make a trip.
