Target Website Experiencing Intermittent Issues On Cyber Monday
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Target's website has been experiencing issues this Cyber Monday.
The website first went down about 9 a.m. Monday morning.
According to the Minneapolis-retailer's website, they experienced delays due to high traffic.
Around 10 a.m. the website was back up and running on desktop. The site has been working intermittently since.
Those trying to access the website on mobile may still be experiencing issues.
In a statement Target said the website was not down, it was just seeing a tremendous response to the offer for Cyber Monday:
"We are seeing a tremendous response to today's 15 percent off sitewide offer. The volume is already twice as high as our busiest day ever. We continue to receive and process thousands of orders from guests who are shopping the entire site and taking advantage of the discount coupled with free shipping. As we experience spikes in traffic, our systems place guests in a queue and prompt them to access the site later"
Target said in the statement that they apologize to guests who have experienced delays, appreciate their patience and encourage them to continue to try and access the site.
