Wrong bulb sent multiple times - sku problem?

I ordered this bulb twice and received a round traditionally shaped bulb twice. I thought the first time was an error but it seems to be a sku problem! Doesn’t fit in my microwave - just a heads up.

The product does not match the photo

To be clear, I never opened the package. It turns out the item I need is an incandescent T7 bulb with an E17 base. That is what the photo shows. The product is an S 11. (T is for tube, S is for standard). Live and learn. Had I dug into the product images, I could see it on the back of the package. I'm sure this is a great bulb as I've never had a bad one from GE. I'm just extremely frustrated the product does not match the image shown. I don't know who to contact at Target for them to fix it. Hope this was helpful.

Wrong Photo

I purchased this particular bulb because of the photo and the information provided. Well when I got the bulb via drive up, it looked nothing like the photo what so ever. It was a round bulb and said appliance on the top and not microwave. There is no way that bulb was fitting in my microwave. The sku number matched in the description, but the photo shown and what the bulb actually looks like is completely different!

BURNS OUT FAST

I have an under counter microwave that had a light that flickered or just didn't work. I thought this was the answer. Worked great for a few months but then prematurely burned out. I only use occasionally as a night light or when I need extra light to see when I'm cooking. Probably the equivalent of a months every day normal use if even that. It should last so many hours and definitely did not. Not a great product.
