They have a lock down on that type of service. Target offers nothing new. They're just a worse version of Walmart. In the US Target is different. You can buy different things of differing quality with greater selection. This gets people into Target in the US. That's why they fail in Canada. This was Target's business plan in Canada, "Lets open up a store kind of like Walmart but not as good, people will come in droves!"

And their out of stocks are atrocious.
My comment was pointed towards those who keep saying they'd go to target if they had the same prices as in the states (not that I've seen it in this thread)
