Target Description Problems

Unfortunately, Target still isn't posting complete jewelry product information on the company website. This was a big problem with the Subversive line of jewelry. The best one will get is the estimated ship dimensions. For the Pod Drop Earrings this is 7.5 inches length x 3 inches width x 0.5 inches height. This info does come in handy for those with mailboxes but more detailed product information is definitely needed.
