Does Target charge for bags?
Target automatically charges customers for bags in drive up and pickup orders.
The store charges $1 per every 10 bags used, meaning each plastic bag costs 10 cents.
“Charging bag fees for online pickup orders aligns with fees that were already in place for purchases made in Target stores at checkout,” Target shared on their site.
“If you’re purchasing from a store that charges bag fees, they’ll be applied to your order.”
If a customer uses less than 10 bags for their order, the amount is properly adjusted.
However, the rule depends on state and local laws as different stores have different bag policies.
Some locations only charge a five-cent fee for the bags while some spots charge five cents per bag at checkout in the store – and some don’t offer bags at all.
You can check how much you were charged for bags by viewing your order’s invoice through your Target account on Target.com or the app.
Target also allows customers to bring their own bags to avoid the automatic fee since they added bag preferences in March 2024.
If you order online for drive up or pickup at select stores, you can decline Target bags at checkout and tell the store you’ll be bringing your own bags to get your order.
“And toys are just the beginning.
“Throughout the holiday season, we’re offering families incredible savings on gifts, entertainment, electronics and home décor – everything families need to celebrate and save.”
