Follow-up: I took advantage of this deal (which, if you click the above link, apparently is over) and my HomePod arrived today.
Except I ordered Space Gray (to match my current one) and I received a White one instead. And, instead of being able to exchange it in person, target.com is having me print up a return label, ship it half way across the country… and then perhaps I’ll get the correct item if it’s in stock. (Otherwise I’ll get a refund.)
Well, that was disappointing.
