Target's Big Missoni Miss

There's no shortage of buzz on the premier of Missoni for Target this week. But some of the latest buzz has anxiously waiting people going from excited to enraged.

For those fortunate enough to have ravaged Target's website before the early morning crash on Tuesday, their orders may be delayed another month or cancelled altogether.

According to the New York Daily News, thousands of Target consumers were sent an alarming message on Friday regarding their purchases. Not only would their shipments be delayed by at least a month, but they were also met with possible cancellation, so says the line buried at the end of the email, "If we can't deliver your item(s) by this new estimated delivery date, we will automatically cancel your order."

There is a process for customers to go into their accounts to approve a later delivey date for their orders.

On top of this problem, there's also word on the street that Target won't be re-stocking the Missoni line at all. All of us eagerly waiting people who had other things to do on Tuesday may just be missing out, period! According to Target, we were supposed to be able to purchase the line for another month, however they were met with, "unprecedented demand, both in stores and online."

There hasn't been official word from Target on whether the line will be re-stocked.

You could still grab some Missoni, but it'll cost you! Auctions have been on eBay all week with starting prices at double or triple the original. You could also venture on CraigsList, but the price gouging is the same. 

Those Forever21 Missoni look-alikes aren't looking so bad now, huh?

Did you have a chance to grab Missoni in stores or online? What do you think of Missoni's misfire?
