Target & UPS shipping in time for holidays

I ordered on-line with Target 11/22. My order has been sitting in a holding pattern ever since. Target has turned the info to UPS, UPS has not come to pick-up. Target claims the order can't be cancelled because it's shipped yet it's sitting on their loading dock. UPS hasn't accepted the package yet, so they're not processing.

This purchase was made with part of their joint HOLIDAY FREE SHIPPING agreement to intice customers. Well, they both post on their response pages that it won't be delivered until 12/26 - 1/10/08. Again, this was ordered 11/22/07 and now they are saying delivery won't take place until after the holidays.

Please be aware of my experience if timeliness is an issue in your purchasing or delivery endeavors this season.
