Target.com Won’t Ship to Kentucky

I got on their website the other day because someone wanted something and it clearly said it was available online, as well as being reduced in price because of something. I thought to myself, that’s a really cheap price and I’ve seen it sell for two and three times that on eBay. The lady wants it; I’m going to buy it for her. I made an account, because no real man has a Target.com account, and then I put the item in my shopping cart and had it delivered to me. Only a warning popped up that said, “We’re sorry, but we’re dumb, and you can’t have that item shipped to you for no real reason.” Okay, it actually did list a reason and it’s really stupid (and wrong.) “This item can’t be delivered to Kentucky!” Uh, why, because it’s a state in the Union where the majority of everything this side of the entire country ships through? That’s the stupidest response I’ve ever received. Luckily, I assumed it was simply because I had it going to a PO Box and not a street address, changed it, and it worked, but their reason for not initially being able to ship it made me more or less pissed off at them. 

You can't make stupid up.
