Hiring and service - I have enjoyed Macy's before it was even called Macy's, but now coming to the one in Port Charlotte Florida I have had a terrible experience with them. For starters you can never find any workers anywhere. They keep hiring and hiring but at the end of the day, there is maybe one or two people in the entire store. I personally have tried to apply 3 times and each time had a good interview and they turn me down even though I have good qualifications, and hire some kid who doesn't know how to read the cash register. Typically it takes about 10-15 or so minutes to find a worker, and usually they don't know anything about the questions I have, nor do the managers at times. It truly feels like the place is partially ran and there is nobody to help you in anyways. If I wanted to I could probably walk in, steal something and walk out and nobody would notice due there basically being no workers to be found anywhere.

I have placed several orders using macys.com. Every time I place an order, I receive an e-mail that my order is canceled. This time the reason given is Macy's cannot verify a phone number for me using public records. What the heck is going on at Macy's? I asked the "customer service" agent to call my bank, and she told me the wait hold time was too long. I will never shop at Macy's again. I hope they go out of business. Why are they harassing customers? If they could not verify my public record phone number they could have called my bank. They could have looked at the fact that I have placed multiple orders in the past few years to the same address! The "customer service" rep was rude, and treated me like she's doing me a favor. My money spends anywhere, and I won't spend it at Macy's!

I read a number of the negative reviews against Macy's before deciding it might be a good idea to join the chorus of complaints related to Macy's deceptive billing practices and incredibly insolent and rude "customer service" reps. Like a number of other people on this site, I was subjected to Macy's practice of adding late fees and reporting negative inferences on credit reports for balances that were never billed in the first place. Their "customer service" people insisted that bills were sent by U.S. postal and email. When I said the paper bills were never received, I was told to check with my post office. They said the email bills were received by me and they knew it to be a fact because the emails "didn't bounce back." This is SO consistent with the experiences of others on this string. I was also told that Macy's bills were a "courtesy" to me and I should never wait for them before making payments.
One rep told me she ALWAYS pays her bills without statements and I should do the same. Of course Macy's reported me to the credit bureaus, even though I never received any reminders or notifications that I had a balance owing. They subsequently refused to reverse the negative reporting even though I have been a Macy's customer for almost 30 years of an EXCELLENT track record and did not receive their bills. Someone on this string suggested a class action. I would gladly join. I will never shop at Macy's again and I am spreading the word. Macy's says "We pledge to make magic in all of our customer interactions, not just on the selling floor." HA! Try sleight of hand! What a bunch of crooks.

I have had an account for years - never late, always pay more than minimum, have even had credit balances.. I was several days late first time and they called me 10, yes ten times morning noon and night within a 36 hour period. Even when my payment posted I received a call. Talk about harassment. I didn't hear from them once when I carried a credit balance trying to refund my money. I don't do reviews but this has me so irked. I immediately closed my account. I don't need to spend my money with a company like this. I urge shoppers to spend wisely.

We purchased a new rug from Macy's, way more money than we would have normally spent - all because of the Worry no more warranty which would allow us to keep the rug for longer. Our one dog had an accident on the rug, we reported the stain. A man came out from wherever they outsource the work to. The man came, saw the rug and refused to clean it saying we have neglected the rug. Are you kidding me???? We have now called back the Macy's people 3 times waiting for something to be done. Nothing has been taken care of and we have wasted our money and our time with this. We are beyond disappointed and are stuck with a stained rug unless we purchase a Spot Bot to get it clean, which is all these outsourced companies bring anyway. Save your money and spend it elsewhere!

I recently found a gift card to Macy's in an old purse. I remembered I have received it as a wedding gift. I called the number on the back to inquire about the amount and the representative told me that the card had $50 on it. I went to Macy's to make a purchase and the clerk scanned the card and said that there was a $0 balance. I later called Customer Service to find out again how much was on the card. The representative again confirmed a balance of $50. I explained what happened at the store and the representative told me if it rings up as a $0 balance to have the clerk call.
When I went back to make a purchase the clerk called and the representative told me that there was a hold on the card and the only way to use this card is to provide the original receipt. If I had known I could not use it, I would not have driven 45 minutes to Macy's. I explained that the card was given to me as a gift a while ago and that I did not have a receipt for it. I was told there was "absolutely nothing I can do." I just could not accept that there was nothing I could do, so I called Customer Service again and was transferred all the way to the "top" person (so I was told).
I asked her why there was a hold on my gift card and she said she would not disclose this information. Again she said that there was nothing I could except, and I quote, "track down the person who gave the card to me." I am sure I am not the only person with this dilemma. For a company to tell me that my gift card has money on it but puts a hold on it does not seem right. From now on I will never buy a gift card from Macy's. There is no guarantee they will honor it.

May 16 I made a purchase at Macy's Southridge Wisconsin. Actually the lady at the desk made the order online since they didn't have the wallet at the store. I paid using a gift card and a little amount on my debit card. 2 days later I got an email saying that the MK wallet was not available and they would return my money. That day I called customer service and they said they would sent me a gift card with my money. They said I would have to wait for it on the mail. More than 10 days later and nothing. I called for the second time and they said they did not sent any gift card because no one requested the gift card with the returned $. Seriously?? Ok. I waited more than 10 days again.
I called for the third time and they said that I should keep waiting that the gift card is on the way. I called for the fourth time and they said that no gift card was sent to me because the process was not completed. Seriously. I am very angry at this point. They lied to me and made wait for something they did not even sent!!! Now I have to wait according to them another 10 days. I have the feeling is going to take more than that and I would have to be calling again. It takes seconds for them to take our money but weeks and weeks for returning our money if they return it. Horrible experience!!

On 06/13/15, between the hours of 1pm and 2:15pm, I called over 10 times the women's shoes department at Newport Centre, NJ, to order shoes and nobody ever picked up the phone. I then called twice their customer center to make a complaint. They transferred me to a manager. Manager answered me, transferred me to the women's shoes manager, who then transferred me to an associate. I was on hold for 26 minutes with this associate when I decided to hung up the phone and call again.
I asked to talk to a manager again but instead I was transferred to a person that introduced herself as ** only, she refused to give me her last name, employee number or any other information that I could identify her later in this customer complaint. She was AGAIN not help at all. She said she works at the HR. I told her I was going to make a corporate customer complaint and she didn't care at all. All she said was that someone might call me back because it's Saturday and they are too busy and they need to take care of the customers at the store first. Great! That's exactly what an upset customer, that's trying to get a hold of someone, wants to hear (sarcasm).
I don't remember last time I was this upset and disappointed at a customer service. Total lack of customer service from the floor associates, to managers, to HR. Also, to me it was unbelievable that there was nobody to talk to in case you want to make a complaint. There's no corporate number to call, or a customer service manager at the store. If there was, they refused to give me such a number.

When I use my Macy's card to get the "discount if you use your credit card" - normally 20-25% - I receive a bill/statement. I pay that bill in full. The following month, I receive a bill for interest. The most recent bill was $169.61. I sent a check for that same amount. I just received a bill for $2 for "interest." So, I called the number on my statement. I used the automated prompts to get to "Are you calling about the interest on your statement?" Clicked 1 for yes. The next automated message stated "We will remove the interest as a courtesy" etc. BEWARE.
Read your Macy's statements and make sure you're not being charged interest you shouldn't be. This has happened to me several times over the years. I only use the card when the discount is considerable and from there I know that I will receive that second bill for "interest" that I shouldn't be billed for.

I went into Macy's to get my eyebrows waxed at the Benefit Brow Bar around 10:30 AM. I was told that there wasn't any availability until 12:40 PM so I should come back then, which was totally fine. She wrote my name down in the appointment book for 12:40 PM so I assumed that when I showed up then that I would have my place reserved. Boy was I wrong. When I arrived back they told me that I needed to come back and 2:00 PM because she was running behind. When I showed up at 2:00 PM I was told to come back at 2:40. When I arrived back at 2:40 I was told that she would be leaving for the day at 3:00 PM and would not be able to get me in and that I should make an appointment.
I couldn't believe that my entire afternoon had been wasted when I had gone through the trouble to make an appointment time that wasn't even honored. Instead of going by the list and waiting for people with appointments to arrive they continued to take walk-ins and ignore people that had actual appointments. I don't think I have ever been so frustrated with customer service as I was with the women at Macy's. I shop there a lot and so do many of my family members and I don't consider myself a difficult person. Time and time again I let them push my time later and later and then I don't even get the service done because she says she has to leave. Unbelievable. I will never be going back to the Brow Bar and I will tell all of my friends and family to stay away as well.

The whole credit card process is very confusing to the consumer. If you buy something at the Macy's store you have one account number that is not on your Macy's American Express Card. If you buy something somewhere other than the Macy's store (Target, Cosco etc.) you get another bill that has your card number on it. Both are bills from Macy's but have a different PO box billing address. As a consumer, I thought these were from the same place, which they should be, so I did not pay one of the bills and ended up getting a late charge and interest charged to my account. If you are issued a card it should be for all services, whether in store or out of the store. I also thought maybe this could be a fraud issue where someone had opened an account in my name. Something needs to be done about this!!! It is not very customer oriented. This is not good customer service!!!

Do not use Macy's Credit Card, they are blood sucking Monsters! This card is ridiculous! Do not apply if you do not have a great memory to pay it off right away! Besides the super high interest, their call center have the worst customer service! I was out of country for 2+ months, all major credit card company are willing to remove the late fees, this blood sucking monster only willing to remove $18 while charging me $105 for late fee! BTW, my outstanding balance was only $40, you see how non-sense this is! You know what they say? It is your fault, and you need to take the consequence. OK~ Cut the card right after the call!

First, unlike other big corporations, payments made online take from 4 to 7 days to be deducted from your bank account and takes up to 10 days to be reflected in the statement. They are very prone to hurt your credit, either from one mispayment or due to their incompetence to process payments faster. Bottom line - they really don't care about customers. I have found thousands of complaints similar to mine over the internet.

The other day I was shopping at Macy's in Bedford, NH and purchased some items in the women's department. After ringing me up and signing the pad approving the charge, the sales clerk pulled a card for an upcoming sale on June 7th that would give me $10 off my next purchase. Before I had a chance to pick up my purchase and walk away, she scanned the coupon card that I believe had a UPC code on it and printed out another receipt and stapled it to the coupon card. This annoyed me because, obviously the receipt references the UPC code on the coupon card as well as my credit card. Does Macy's have the right to do this without the customer's consent? It's almost as if I was charged for a coupon card that I didn't ask for.

I received a bill around May 25 which included a late fee of $25. I had not received a bill from Macy's the previous month. As it is nearly impossible to prove a negative, I could not convince Macy's of that fact. The last bill from them, I had paid in March. It was paid in full. I paid the most recent bill in full also including the alleged late fee. About an hour after I mailed the bill, I received a call from someone claiming to be a Macy's employee asking why they hadn't received payment for the bill. The due date is June 12, I mailed the check June 1. By using USPS, they claimed it would be 7 to 12 days before the check would be posted to my account. On the bill, it states they must receive it by 5 PM on June 12. So what is the 7-12 days for? I asked that my account be closed. I am interested to find out if I will receive another bill from them.

I received a pair of Jessica Simpson shoes (Style: JS-Tallinoh: Blk Combo) for Christmas six months ago and immediately fell in love with them! They were the perfect color, style, and unique as I've never seen anything like them. I've worn them maybe 8 times between then and now for special occasions (Christmas, graduations, family b-day's, etc.) and keep them in the box when not being worn. I wore them to church yesterday and discovered that a HUGE hole/rip had formed just by me sitting there. I was so disappointed.
I know they were over $80 and to me means they should last me for the next 5 years (even longer if I take extra care of them). However, I feel that no matter what I did to care for these shoes, they were going to tear. The quality at first glance seems well made. However, only now am I truly seeing the quality of Jessica Simpson shoes. This was my first and looking to be my last pair that I will own. I hope the Jessica Simpson team helps to remedy this problem for future products.

March 4, 2015. I ordered two pairs of Sperry's Topsider boat shoes online at Macy's. I paid by credit card and waited for the confirmation email. After a bit of a snafu (on my part) I finally got to see the confirmation order, which showed one of the pairs was the wrong color. I RANG Macy's to advise of the error and asked them to change the order, only to be told that the order had already been shipped (in two separate batches).
I asked what to do about the incorrect shoes and was told to refuse delivery and not to sign for them. They would then be returned and a credit given on my card. The first pair arrived OK and are fine. When the incorrect shoes arrived I did refuse delivery and notified Macy's. I waited the 20 business days, no sign of any credit. I then wrote on several occasions, only to be told that, as soon as Borderfree got the package back, the credit will be made. Another 20 business days!

I called the online dept saturday 5-23-15 to order a mattress and spoke to **. She assured me 100% that I would get the delivery date requested, May 31 2015. I told her I was moving that day & absolutely had to have it. She said it wouldn't be a problem, I let her know I'd be calling back with payment since I didn't have my credit card on me. She said that would be fine because my order was placed in the system and it would only be pending payment. I called back the very next morning, since they were closed by the time I got to my credit card, I was hung up on the first time, I called back and was put on hold for 20 minutes. I was at work so could not hold any longer and by the time I could call back they were closed.
I call back this morning & a CSR told me there is no such order in the system & I would have to place it all over again. After letting her know I need it on May 31, 2015 she told me all of may was booked. I let her know I placed this order on saturday and ** guaranteed May 31 delivery. It was obvious this CSR did not care one bit about my situation. I asked to speak to her supervisor and the CSR said "sure but she's going to tell you the same thing anyway". Transferred me to a Supervisor named **, I attempted to explain the situation, she said she already knew and there was nothing she could do about it because the truck was full. I again told her ** guaranteed May 31, she replied saying "well we haven't charged you for delivery yet". Unsure why she said that.
I let her know they were the ones who lost my order and made me place another one. She again responded with "there's nothing I can do", I asked her why would her CSR guarantee a date and then not follow through. She said she doesn't know because that's not her department. I was baffled, I mean don't you work at Macy's and wasn't I just transferred to you because you are a supervisor. All ** did was further agitate me and did not even attempt to solve my problem. So, now I am left very unhappy and inconvenienced with their incompetence. Please macy's make sure you are giving correct information to your customers, I've been a customer for 15 years and a Macy's red card holder for 10. NEVER again will I give this company any of my business.

I signed up with Macy's today, and attempted to place an order of approximately $250. I entered the promo code, which I confirmed all items were eligible and not part of the exclusion. The code did not work, so I initiated an online chat with a Macy's representative. To no avail. Finally, after what I feel as though I had to argue my point, I corresponded with someone who 'finally' agreed to give me the 20% that I was supposed to receive to begin with without her help.
As the online chat continues, I noticed the items in 'My Bag' started to disappear and a note appeared that the items were no longer available. I informed the same person I was on chat with, and she offered to check the items from time to time for availability, and offered to contact me back - but couldn't make the items available immediately. So basically, she did nothing for me, except what I could have done by myself - ALONE! She offered me a 20% discount that I was already entitled to... and at that she said it would be a 1 time courtesy. Really? As such, Macy's lost my business and I will be sure to blast my experience regarding Macy's everywhere.

When returning an item to Macy's, I was told that from now on I would only get gift card if I returned because I was now on the "returned too much" list!!! I never heard of this.

Macy's decided to not send me any monthly statement. It has been a while since I last used their credit card. Depending on who I talked to, they did not mail or email me because I was enrolled with mycheckfree and that would exclude any type of communication about billing. They claimed they emailed me, and they did not receive an undeliverable email. I have never missed or been late on a payment ever. They dinged my credit report and refused to remove what was caused by them. They insisted that they emailed me, but they did not. I can see multiple emails from them saying they sent me for my order being placed, delivered and received, but no emailed statements. Horrible people to do business with!!!

My mother lives in Wyoming where there are no Macy's stores. However, she comes to visit me in Georgia often and she likes to shop at Macy's when she is here. So I decided to buy my Mother a hat from Macy's for Mother's day. I went into a Macy's store on Monday, May 4, 2015 and found the perfect hat. I went to the register to purchase the hat and began a conversation with the sales associate about how I was going to send the hat to Wyoming to my Mother for Mother's Day. She suggested that I purchase the hat online instead of in the store. That way the hat would come in a box with a card and get shipped from the store straight to her home. I agreed that this was the way to go and so the sales rep ordered the hat for me right at the register with a delivery date of Friday, May 8, 2015, two days before Mother's Day. I thought this was perfect and I was very happy.
Thursday morning, May 7, 2015 I opened my email and saw that I had received an email from Macy's telling me the hat I ordered was NOT available online and my order had been cancelled! I immediately contacted customer service in a panic. I explained how frustrated I was with the fact that I had not been notified of the cancellation earlier so that I could find something else for my Mother. The customer service rep offered to OVERNIGHT something to my Mother at no charge so that it would get to her in time for Mother's Day and so I picked out another hat online. The customer service rep said the package would arrive no later than Saturday, May 9, 2015. Thursday evening, May 7, 2015, I received an email saying my item had shipped. I was relieved. Since it was sent OVERNIGHT mail I knew this meant it would be delivered the next day, Friday. WRONG.
Saturday morning, May 9, 2015, I check the status of my package and I am shocked to see that the delivery date says TUESDAY, MAY 12, 2015. Two days AFTER Mother's Day! I again contact customer service and I am told that they don't know why the package got held up and was not delivered on Friday, but they never deliver on Saturdays so they don't know why anyone would have told me this! I ask to speak to a manager and I am passed around for person to person (10 to be exact) and not one is a manager and not one can help me. I eventually close my account. I am now in tears because it is too late to send my Mother ANYTHING for Mother's Day. Thanks Macy's.

This is no a very big subject but it hits me hard in frustration and decided to speak my mind. Today I wanted to buy some shorts online at Macy's, so I went on their website. Everything was fine. I fell in love with almost all of the jean shorts I found! Then something happened.. Let's say I had about 6 shorts in my basket. Then when I clicked onto my 7th pair to see what they looked like, I looked at my basket to see that they had all disappeared. Now I know what you're thinking! "Oh I had way worse! That's nothing!" But when you have to try and find the same items about 50 times in a row to put into your basket again and every 7th click they all get deleted from your basket, you kinda lose it. About a half an hour of frustration I gave up and only decided to buy 1 pair. I started to check out, pressed done... It told me I had no items in my basket anymore. This made me so mad just typing it. Hope none of you had this happen.

I finally in desperation wrote to Macy's VP of public relations! I owe Macy's 260 dollars I won't deny that but then I did not expect to get over 4th stage cancer. Advised them immediately asking to work out a plan. Not only did they ignore me but their call center in India has continued to harass me with 5-6 calls a day. They ignore pleas to stop while I am in treatment and trying to recover, they demanded to know what monies I was receiving, they told me to get family to pay it. Macy's uses offshore call centers because these folks do not care. They have no professional manners, and could care less. Macy's knows US employees would not stoop to the level these folks do. Sorry but it is true.
So today I finally had enough and wrote to the VP of Public Relations advising them of the situation yet again, that I have all intentions to pay once I can get back to work, and please in writing stop the calls only contact me in writing. Once paid off this card will be closed and Macy's will never get my business again. They have ignored all at other communications. Also honestly the sales clerks are pretty awful in the stores!! No wonder people do not shop there. Boo on you Macy's. I know there are deadbeats out there but I advised you of this situation, did not avoid you, and asked for you to work with me! It has cost you 10 times my 200 dollars and goodwill, is it worth it?

I took the opportunity of shopping at Macy's in San Francisco just off Market Street recently. I went from floor to floor and returned to ladies fashion to purchase some items for a friend who was having a birthday in Australia on the same day. The Macy's sales person was enormously helpful in presenting some very good quality items that I might otherwise not have seen due to the volume of available stock to choose from. It was very nice to be assisted by a lady to identify what another lady, my friend, might appreciate. Two of the three items purchased were presented to me by the sales person. The third was my choice. If there's one good sales person in Macy's I believe there are many more. Have you connected person to person in a shopping environment lately? Look for the person and you might discover what good service is all about once you let them in. Thank you Macy's. I wish I had more time.

I have been a Macy's Platinum Card holder for 17 years. I recently pulled my credit report and I had a late payment. I looked at my records and I made a payment every month. I was $12 short on my minimum which I more than made up for 17 days later and they refused to overturn the 30 day late. I had never been late in the history of the account, or any account. I closed my account immediately and will never do business there again. It is so sad I was a long time loyal customer, but I am so sick of lack of service these days.

I ordered 3 items online. The next day my bank notified me of possible fraud on my credit card. I was told to view my account and place a check mark by any items that were correct. There were six charges by Macy's and only one was valid. Next the bank said they would cancel my card immediately and mail a new one. Five days later I've not yet received it. I did receive two of the three items from Macy's. I called to ask about the third item. I was told UPS Demi the item back to Macy's for unknown reasons. I told the woman about the non valid charges to my card and that it had been cancelled creating numerous problems for me and now Macy's has screwed up my receiving the third item I ordered. She said she would place that order again. I told her that would not be possible because Macy's caused the appearance of fraud on my card so the bank cancelled it.
I don't have a card for her to charge against. She said to call back when my new card arrives. Thanks to Macy's my credit card and my order are a total MESS. This has eaten up a lot of my time and created much inconvenience. I have never had a problem with any other store when placing an order. There is something seriously wrong with MACY'S!!!

I pay all my bills online including Macy's. When you click on "make payment" on any other company's website, it will exactly show the minimum payment amount and the due date you must pay it by. I didn't know my payments for Macy's didn't go through for two months in a row, until I received a notification from one of my credit card companies to inform me that they are reducing my credit limit due to a delinquency in another credit, Macy's said I should have checked my statement, which I didn't receive. They said they sent me an email about it, which I didn't receive. I even check my junk box and deleted box.
I didn't see any email from Macy's about it except tens of them promoting their sales. Well, I go online to pay my bill. I trusted Macy's to be correct and will show me what I need to pay. A big company like Macy's should be more responsible and have better online system. They said they can't do anything except increase my Macy's credit limit back to where it was. Macy's, you need to update your system and care for your customers a little better. Oh, by the way, they don't show your credit limit either unless you click on the statement. You can easily go over limit and cost your credit score as well. Macy's is very incompetent.

On March 14, 2015 I chose a set of patio furniture (web ID 543019) and a cover for it (web ID 638910). I phoned in and ordered it. I was told that I would have to call a different number to order the cover, or order it online; it was a different department from furniture. The cost of the furniture set was $1,899.00. I was told the delivery and set up were $299. This brought my total order value including tax to $2,348.56. My sales check number was **.
I gave the operator all my information (bill to, ship to, credit card, etc.) and was told the item was in stock and I would be contacted with a delivery date. I received a phone call saying the earliest they could deliver was May 2nd. I received a message saying I needed to call to re-authorize my credit card. I called customer service (approximately 45 minutes on hold before an agent answered) and re-authorized the card. CALL #1.
On April 8th, I received a text message from my credit card company asking if this was a legitimate charge; I texted them back to say it was. That day I called customer service (approximately 35 minutes on hold before an agent answered) to say I'd received that text and asking them to re-run the transaction. I asked the agent if an earlier delivery date might be available. He said April 25th was available. He put me on hold then came back on several minutes later to say that apparently someone else had booked that time before he could secure it and it was no longer available. CALL #2.
Shortly thereafter (still on April 8th) the agent called me back to say he was mistaken and the April 25th delivery date was apparently still available. He suggested I call back in a couple of days to confirm that it was locked in. One or two days later, I called customer service (approximately 30 minutes on hold before an agent answered) to confirm the April 25th delivery date. I was told it was confirmed. CALL #3.
On April 24th, I got a call from the delivery company saying that they would be making the delivery on April 27th. I told them it was confirmed for April 25th. They said that was impossible, as they only deliver to my area on Mondays. I said okay, I'd await their call for a delivery on April 27th. They indicated I should hear from their driver around 4:00 pm.
On April 27th , I hadn't heard from the delivery company yet, so I phoned them at approximately 4:15 pm. They told me that they had received a message from NVC Logistics (to whom they were contracted) saying the delivery was cancelled. I called customer service (approximately 20 minutes on hold) to find out why the order had been cancelled and was told that the system said nothing about a 4/25 or 4/27 delivery; they showed a May 2nd delivery date and she didn't know why the logistics company said the order was cancelled (and they were closed then and she was trying to find another way to contact them). CALL #4. She said she would call me back to say what she found out from the logistics company. (I asked her to call me on my cell phone, not my home phone – so that I would know what she found out as soon as possible.)
On 4/28, I didn't get a call on my cell phone all day. When I got home from work, I had a voicemail message from that same agent on my home phone saying that she researched the issue and found out that NVC Logistics did get an email from Macy's saying the order was cancelled, and that she was not able to meet the May 2nd delivery date either, because the carrier only delivers to my area on Mondays, so it was re-scheduled for May 4th.
So it's still 4/28, and I call customer service again (approximately 35 minutes on hold). CALL #5. As soon as an agent comes on, I say I'd like to save everyone some time by speaking directly with a supervisor. Then the game of pretending I'm ever going to be allowed to speak with a supervisor begins. The agent puts me on hold, then several minutes later, he comes back on to say he's been authorized to give me a $75 gift card. I said that was not what was going to satisfy me at this point, and I again asked to speak with a supervisor. He put me on hold again, longer this time, then came back on to ask me to tell him what the issue was. So I got to tell the story all over again. He asked me what it would take to satisfy him. I said a delivery on April 29th would make me happy.
He put me back on a long hold, then returned to say he had been authorized by his supervisor to offer me a 10% discount on the price of the furniture (a value of $189.90). I said that was not satisfactory, but that if they would offer that and remove the $299 delivery and set up fee, I would find that satisfactory. Another hold, then he came back on to say that his supervisor would only agree to the 10% merchandise discount.
I pointed out that this very large 9-piece furniture set was on the freight dock in Carson City Nevada, and it would certainly cost them close to the amount of the relief I was requesting just to get it back to their warehouse. I also made it clear that I would complain very publicly and very vocally about this transaction. He said he was sorry, but he couldn't offer anything else. I said I was cancelling the order then, and if after re-considering it they should change their minds, they should call me back. I've not heard anything, so apparently they didn't reconsider.
In closing, I want to ask you to seriously consider the quality of this experience. In today's economy, it just shouldn't be this hard for me to give you my money. I shouldn't have needed to make one phone call after I placed this order, let alone FIVE. I shouldn't have needed to keep re-authorizing my credit card (which never WAS charged by the way). When I DID call, I shouldn't have been on hold for so long every single time, nor should I have been forced to wade through levels of voicemail options in order to speak with a human being.
Since the merchandise was in stock when I ordered it, and since I was paying a special delivery fee anyway, I should not have needed to wait 7 weeks to get my order. By the time my issue had escalated to the point where I wanted to speak with a supervisor, I should have been speaking to a supervisor, not caught up in some used car/finance manager/punish you by making you hold game. At the very end, when I pointed out that your out of pocket would be less by simply agreeing to my request, you should have agreed to it. Finally, I will be able to best judge the real quality of your company by the reaction I get from you to this correspondence.

I'm dealing with the same issue as the reviewer named ** of Butler, NJ on Feb. 15, 2015. They issued me gift cards for a refund instead of crediting the card I used for payment back. Why is Macy's being so desperate and being so unscrupulous? It's been two plus months and no refund yet. I have been following up. I'm also paying the bill on the card as it may affect my credit, holding a balance there. If there is a class action going on, I want this complaint to be part of it. I saved all my communications with them. I want them to be exposed for their near-fraudulent and unscrupulous business practices.

I have been trying to get a full return on my credit card since January and it is now almost May. I've called numerous times and every time it's a MAJOR hassle! They can't find my orders, they put me on hold for lengthy periods of time and even hang up on me. Eventually they tell me that they will process the Visa refund and that it will take 10 business days... it never happens however. I have to call back every 10 days and go through the same process. I can never speak to a supervisor and get the same run around every time... it's soooo frustrating!

I received my bill yesterday which had a change in terms. Today I received the same from Bloomingdale's. Out of the blue they decided to close the no interest jewelry account and in August move what is owed to the revolving account with interest. While they advertised one year to pay off what was charged now the items will not have one year interest free. Late last year I wrote to Macy's because I believed they did not adjust their interest on a I day late payment. They claim they don't have to adjust interest on my account because there was a balance on the account. I wrote to the president and board of directors but got nowhere.

I have been a Macy's credit card account holder since 1979. Two weeks ago I received a voicemail from Macys.com confirming my online order. Since I never placed the order - my account was placed on a security hold and the charge declined. I was advised by the consumer services department that I would receive a call from fraud department and at that time I would receive a new card/number. No calls came so I followed up and was told that the first agent handled the matter incorrectly, but they would send out new card and number.
I received a new card with the same account number yesterday!!! I again called and spoke with a supervisor who said that they cannot issue a new account number but the card has additional security. I said “What if someone uses the number online?” And they said to call them if I didn't make the charge. I'm baffled at their lack of concern for fraud security. I told the supervisor if they cannot give me a new account number, then I would close the account. They said sorry you feel that way but no problem. Apparently saying goodbye to a 30+ years customer was no big deal to them. So glad to say goodbye as well, nice to know how they value a customer.

I had this credit card for a while. I am not too crazy, just the fact that whatever you spent in Macy's, you have to pay Macy's and whatever you spent outside you pay American express. Anyway I purchase a sweater in Macy's for $215. I buy like November for a Christmas gift, but then I was going to make it in 3 -4 payments, but suddenly, Macy's financial service called me like in February harassing me for a payment...
I was wondering because I made it automatic payment, and paperless statement, so I didn't realized that someone used my credit card to make a purchase over the internet, for $39.99. They didn't told me, they just told me I had a past due balance, so made another payment, but then in the night I realized that I did sent the payment so I decide to check my statement over the internet. By then the same people made another purchase of $29.99. I was already upset, because if this purchase was made over the internet isn't they verified my zip code or address??? Like really?
Well I called the company, he asked me if my billing zip code was in California, hey I live in New York, so I called Macy's, and that Company instead of offering me a new credit card with a new number, they just told me they were going to investigate, but then for March I have another purchase if $29.99. Ohhh come on, what kind of business is Macy's that they cannot keep confident personal information from customers. I already canceled that card, and I would never open another one with them, and is April now, and they still haven't done anything, and my sister in law told me that last month happened the same thing with her card too.

At 8:45 am this morning (a Sunday) my house received a recorded phone call from Macy's that said my order will arrive in multiple shipments. I had already received an email that provided the same information, as well as follow-up emails with the tracking numbers. So what is Macy's use for this unwanted intrusion on privacy? The recorded phone message added zero value to my shopping experience. In fact, it made me frustrated and angry for the following reasons:
- The order might have been a surprise, and the gift recipient might have picked up the message.
- I might not want others in this household to know I had placed an order.
There is no option to opt out of automated phone calls on Macy's "My Account" page. I called their customer service number, but even that was frustrating. I had to re-dial several times in order to press the right button to get me to a live person (who did not appear to be located in the United States). This person put me on hold twice for a total of 15 minutes, ultimately to inform me that Macy's advertising department doesn't open until 11AM on Sundays. Interesting that Macy's feels it's OK to call customers before 11AM on a Sunday while granting their employees a later start. This default automation is unacceptable, and Macy's has just lost a customer. There is nothing their store carries that I can't also buy at any other department store or online retailer.

The counter manager would not take any accountability for her mistakes, would not text back to work related questions, did not perform the regular duties a manager should. The biggest problem I had was her discrimination towards customers, and her sheer laziness. Firstly, I was told, the counter manager would be showing me how to get inside in the mornings, I along with a couple others were ever shown, therefore getting a late mark because of simply not being able to get in the door.
Secondly, the counter manager had told me that I was it allowed to work more than 20hrs per week, rather bluntly in her words, she texted me asking how many hours could I work. I texted back letting her know I could really work however many hours she needed me, more than 30 would be fine, I said I just need to know so I can look into someone to watch my daughter. She responded extremely bluntly, "your position is part time, more than 20 hours will not work." This was the same day she had called me stating she was so happy to offer me a position for over the holidays that would most likely be full time. I should have known when she said that it was a scam.
Basically she needed someone to work Black Friday, the hardest hours on Black Friday, and she used me for it. I had been working there 3 days total including training when another girl told me "I don't know what ** thinking, she scheduled you to work from 8pm-6:00am Black Friday!" By yourself! I was honestly so worried this woman has really scheduled this! I barely knew how to open the cash register, and I still didn't know how to enter the building because the counter manager never responded to my texts about how to do it!
Black Friday comes along, all fine, I handled everything fine. My only concern now is that I'm realizing my hours are 42 per week instead of the under 20 I was told. So having a baby whom I never scheduled child care for due to the brash rude text I was going to need some clarification on this. I sent her a text asking if she knew if I would be part time or full time, as I have a young daughter and don't know what to do for childcare. My week's hours had been 42 keep in mind, she sends me a text back saying, "you're only scheduled 18 hours." I was so confused by her text, because evidently she totally ignored the fact that she had majorly overscheduled me and just decided to skip that and just talk about how the next week she had scheduled me for 18hrs, which I would never have known unless I texted and asked because she hadn't put it on the schedule yet.
Next, an elderly customer needed help. She was actually holding onto a sink at origins, she was unable to hold her body up. I and another girl called for the counter manager several times as we were holding this woman up and needed to know where the store wheelchair was kept, we ended up having to call another manager as the counter manager refused to answer.
So I'm still helping this elderly lady I've been given her car keys by her, at this point I've moved her to shoes because there was a chair there I've found her car in the parking lot as she asked me to do, and before this the counter manager who we had been calling walks past, I ask her, "do you know where a wheelchair is?" She totally ignores my question, smiles and waves as I'm holding this customer up and walks past as if she's busy, then I don't see her again until I've resolved the situation with another manager, and the customer's gone. The counter manager walks past and says, "she was a drunk, you shouldn't have bothered with her!" I thought Macy's wanted to help their customers?! Guess not.
Ok now this blew me away honestly. So it's 6:00pm I'm working my counter was Clinique. I applied there, took the tests for Clinique, was told I would only be working at Clinique. Well suddenly the counter manager runs in towards me and says "you know you scheduled yourself to work at Chanel tonight from 6:30-close." I just said "ok that's fine", but in my head I was confused as I knew that evening I actually didn't even schedule my hours, I just saw my schedule and the hours on there were 1pm-6pm. I hadn't seen anything other than that until the counter manager had told me I had apparently scheduled myself.
After she said that another girl that worked there laughed and said "that's funny" I asked her "what?" She said "It's impossible to schedule yourself on another counter unless you're a manager, as sales associates we don't have the option to work at whatever counter we want, we take a test for each counter we work at." I was confused why the counter manager felt the need to lie? She said she worked in makeup sales for 20 years, which I found hard to believe someone that's worked in makeup for that long would be way higher up than a counter manager in Macy's, there's just no way. The other employee and I later came to a conclusion that she lied so that in case I was unable to work on such short notice she could pretend that I scheduled myself, except for the problem that that's impossible.
Lastly, it was around 9:30pm I had about 2.5 hours before I got off, there was no one there due to the time, my boyfriend at the time had wanted some skin products and was having some problems with his skin so I told him to come in and I'd try and tailor a treatment for his skin type, as that's what I was told to do for any other customer. I had no idea the counter manager would behave the way she did, I begin to test out a couple of products on his skin, he really liked one of them. It's been about 15 minutes, and in this time a customer walks in, I let my boyfriend know I'll be back after I help the customer, it's an elderly woman who's really nice, and she actually glances over to where my boyfriend is sitting and makes a funny comment about how 'he's good looking' and jokes around saying I should 'flirt' with him.
I let her know that's my boyfriend actually, he needed some help and I suggested he come here since I work with skin products, she comments on how great she thinks that is, and was really enthusiastic about the fact that I was helping him at my work. I was in my uniform and it was Christmas, so she mentioned that we were 'a really cute couple' and told me she 'needed to take a picture' of us together, me in my work uniform, with my boyfriend at work, for a memory, it was really nice and a great idea for a picture because it was a nice moment to capture. She took the picture, and then all three of us continue chatting. I hear the phone ringing and I can't hear if it's at my counter or a different counter, so since there's a customer there I politely let her know, I need to excuse myself for just a moment to grab the phone since I'm the only one here.
One thing to keep in mind here, I've never ever been told how to answer the phone or what to say, I run to get it and no one’s there. So I walk back carry on talking, then the woman leaves with her purchases. I continue with the skin products, as I had to pause for the elderly woman, then another customer comes by, I do as I did before, serve him. As I'm checking him out the phone rings again, at this time I ignored the phone call because checking out trumps the phone call because I was with that customer first. Then the customer leaves with his purchases.
Straight after this, a woman from another counter comes over to me saying “** says call her ASAP!!! Very important!!” I say ok, but I've never been told how to use the phone or make calls on it so I don't know the counter manager’s number in my head. The woman does it for me, doesn't show me, but just does it for me. So when I get through the counter manager answers totally normal, and by the way I have not heard from her in a while, after sending her a text letting her know that a customer had requested me to do her wedding makeup and wanted to make sure I was working that specific day when she came in to get it done because I had done the practice and she loved the skin tone I had given her, as well as the contouring. I had also created a relationship with her, because we both happened to be from the same place and it's not common.
So I had sent the counter manager a text asking if she could schedule me to work that day because the customer had put it in her schedule and it was in the Clinique schedule book. So of course I never got a response from this, but when she answered now. She acts like everything is normal, doesn't even mention the fact that she never responded. Instead she says, “your boyfriend has been there for 2 hours now (by the way it had been 45 minutes, and if anyone bothered to look back at tapes all the proof would be there, also both customers that came in could prove this) and he needs to leave” she said. I was pretty floored to be honest because had I not been actually selling him and other customers’ products, then I totally understand because you can't just sit around and not help customers because your friend/boyfriend is there but this was totally opposite from the case.
I was told by her I had to tell him to leave to counter! I had to ask a customer to leave! I couldn't believe it, he couldn't buy the product he wanted because he was honestly so embarrassed after I told him what she had said. I couldn't talk to him about it there but when I was finally able to talk to him he let me know he was really upset, he felt embarrassed, he felt ashamed, as if he wasn't good enough for Macy’s, and I actually fully agreed with him. He has tattoos, and gets an SSI check, he feels this is why I was told I had to ask him to.
I agree, purely for the fact that I had only had 2 customers come by, and I went to them straight away, and the first customer loved the fact that he was there and I was helping him at my work, so it was absolutely nothing to do with customer service and everything to do with the way he looked. So Macy’s completely discriminates against first, the older lady who the counter manager called a drunk! And then this situation. Bottom line, don't go to Macy’s if you have tattoos or don't fit their mold. I've told a couple people about this incident and plan on letting anyone I know exactly how we were treated by Macy’s. It's not only my business you will never ever get again, it's every friend/family member I know.

I called again and they said I would receive a credit on my account. It never happened. I e-mailed this time wanting a record of my discussion and was told the sheets would be sent. Didn't happen. When I emailed again they asked for the product number of the throw. I sent it to them. Nothing happened. I emailed again. They asked for the product number again. I don't know where to go from here.

I have tried to log on to Macy's website numerous times the last few late evenings and have not been able to do so.

Last November my wife and I were shopping at Macy's. When cashing out the Macy's rep highly recommended we get the card. I clearly explained that we are from Canada and asked a host of questions to ensure we weren't making a mistake. The Macy's rep assured us that making payments were very easy with many options to pay. I learned quickly upon my return that this was not the case. I have called Macy's customer service 14 times not including the 3 times yesterday. Macy's will not accept Canadian or US Visa. My only option was that I go to my bank, get a money order and mail it. Of course, all the while they are killing me with 24% interest and late charges. I"m now losing opportunity with my business as I now have to focus on this.
Finally getting my head around this from the mixed information I'm receiving from Macy reps. Macy's credit are still sending me account statements saying I still owe them. More phone calls and increased frustration. I return to my bank to request a draft tracker. My manager says that the cheques has been cashed but I must request the report details that can take up to 2 weeks. I pick up more distracting calls from Macy's and I explain what has happened. I further beg them to note their file to avoid more Macy's reps from calling me. Guess what happens next? I now grind my teeth when I see Macy's number on my call display.
Good news, my bank calls and I go there to pick up the report. My bank manager explained that its near impossible for someone to cash a cheque with Macy's name. I return home and electronically fax Macy's the document. Did I mention that Faxing is the only way to send them anything? So now the fax will not go through with the number they provided. Back on the phone 2 more times to receive a fax number. The reps said they don't know who gave me those numbers as they are wrong. Because I don't have a true fax machine, I return to my bank knowing they would help me with this. While I'm sitting in the banks waiting area for approx. 40 mins, my bank reps keep returning to tell me the fax failed to send. I got up this beautiful Sunday morning and waiting for the Macy's customer service that opens at 9 am. I so need to find someone with a head that has an e-mail at Macy's.
I'm sure there are details I'm missing to tell you but, can't waste anymore time on this. Just wanted to tell my story and warn you of my conspiracy theory. Macy's is making a boat load of interest when you don't make your payment, why make it easy. You think one of the many Macy's reps who heard my story would have transferred and escalated my problem.

Pressured by one of the sales representatives at Macy's I signed up for Macy's Thanks for Sharing. Next day I went to the same store to cancel; however they told me they couldn't do it, I had to call customer service which I did at once. They promised to refund the $25.00 I had paid. On Nov. 22, 2014 I received a note stating that "a credit for the enrollment fee of $25.00 has been issued and will appear on your next Macy's billing statement." I closed my account and I am still waiting (March 2015) for this credit to appear. I have had no success with the many phone calls I have made. Yet, I do not want Macy's to get away with this. It's not fair and it's irresponsible on their part.

I have been a cardholder over 8 years. I hadn't used it in a year so I decided I would call the automated service to see what my limit was and to make sure my card was active. Automated system said it was active and even told me a limit. I went to the store and they told me the account was closed but she could open me a new account. I did not want to do that because it messes with your credit. I also believe them closing my account hurt my credit 30 points as well. I will take my business elsewhere.

Like many other people that have submitted complaints, I also have an issue with never receiving my credit card or first month's bill. I did, however, receive a second's month bill (still no credit card). The second month's bill stated that I owed a late payment fee and interest charges. Now I am sitting on the phone with their "customer service," who put me on hold so that they can ask about removing the fee from my account. Before she put me on this 20 minute hold, the mumbling woman told me that I could make a payment today and she could remove the charges. I told her that she would need to recalculate the minimum payment less the late payment fee and interest charges because the minimum payment should not include those accrued fees. Then she put me on hold. As I am writing this, the call was disconnected.
I called again, this time speaking to a different department, who then transferred me to the actual store. The store clerk told me that they do not handle credit card issues and that I would have to call customer service. Finally, during this fourth call it seems like my issue may be resolved. However, I am on hold again as they speak to a supervisor. Will they come back? Holding....They did and they were able to remove the fees. They were also able to close out my account.

She told me that if I ordered the furniture protection for $134.00 I would never have to worry about it getting dirty, I could just call unlimited times and have the sofa cleaned under the protection plan for up to 7 years. I told her that sounds crazy. How could they possibly be making money on that. So 7 months after my purchase I called to have the sofa cleaned, and they told me to upload a picture of the stain, and they would send someone. I told them I wanted the entire sofa cleaned, they said they don’t do that.
So ** flat out lied to me to make a sale, and I'm stuck with a dirty sofa. She should honestly be fired. I called her boss ** and he apologized up and down and told me he would talk to ** about exactly what the protection plan covered. I contacted Macys twice through the corporate headquarters, and nobody has ever gotten back to me. I used to be a happy customer of Macys. Not any longer, I can’t believe they hire deceitful people.

I took 3 shirts back to Macy’s that I got for Christmas. I wanted to exchange but they didn't have my size for the shirts and I didn't have time to shop around for something else. So I decided to just ask for store credit/gift card. Since I didn't have a receipt because they were a gift, I knew I would have to take the sale price instead of what was actually paid ($100 dropped to $75). They wouldn't give me a gift card right then. They said one would be sent in the mail and would be in my mailbox in a week.
That week came and went and now here it is almost 3 months later and I still haven't received my 75.00 gift card. Apparently by looking at other people's complaints, Macy’s does not follow their own store policy if it's even a real policy. Not only did they get my shirts back to resell, they also kept the money and never sent my gift card.
I read other complaints where people didn't get their gift cards in the mail either and assumed Macy’s stopped having mail from them delivered to consumers homes. Macy’s is the only store that I have ever shopped at or tried to return something and have been told they HAVE to send a gift card in the mail. Seriously? Could I have exchanged my clothes had they had my size? Or would I have still been told I had to wait for a nonexistent gift card? I don't understand why they couldn't just give me a gift card right then? Or does the employee Have a scam going and he took my gift card? Or does Macy’s just dirt bag people who try to get store credit? I will never shop at Macy’s again and I'd rather re-gift the items if I ever get another gift from there again. Thank you Macy’s and the people who are responsible for the lies and stealing my money, clothes and gift card.

One of them, her name Azza, she said, "write away, we don't have the other one". It was a little dark, she said try to get me one - "I can check if we have or not" - and I saw gay, I ask him; no one try to help me. He point for older lady and short a cully. She's active and nice, she got for me 4 pairs so I bought 3 of them. And I was talking to this lady and I find one lady - she is tall, has a curly hair; she always make trouble. I told her this old lady got for me 4 pairs and others, they didn't even try. She make excuse and she said they know what they have.
I told her what is that mean, she shout it and ignore me and went inside the stockroom. So I said I need to speak to the manager. They told me she is in the meeting, which I believe not. Whatever. After half an hour, she came and start tell her my story and I told her many times I came here to sake for this wide calf. They said we don't have she know we have this year a lot. I told this what happen with me but she didn't do anything (her name, Mary). So I went also today because I said I will return one not fit on me and I will buy brown pair. But guess what happen - no one want help me again. And it was man over there wearing t-shirt striped polo, he said, "we don't have look for the computer, we have no brown your size". I told him if you go in stockroom, you will find. He said. "ma'am we don't have". I told him. "you saw the other lady yesterday? She bring 4 pairs. Can you try?"
He ignore me and left and I went for other lady. She know the brown has the wide calf (naturalizer) which is the same brown. I was ask the other man to see if he has it any way. This lady bring it 2 pairs and bought it - now I have for 4 pairs. The reason to write this complaint because this only department, they to do with me same problem, and why these shoes is not on the system, & why the employer doesn't work to go look if they have or not. I feel they know what they have and they sell it for the customer whatever they like. I feel they abuse me, I don't know why, and if I got mad they said, "calm down, ma'am".

My Mother was a LONG TIME Macy's account cardholder, until 2012. She returned an item she had purchased, but Macy's claimed the item in question was NOT returned. Mom became disgusted because Macy's kept billing her for the returned item. A few months later, she PAID the AMOUNT DUE and then CLOSED THE ACCOUNT, vowing never to shop there again. Then, in October 2014, she received a bill for $25 dollars, and the bill gave NO DETAILS as to the reason for the Charges.
Numerous calls were made to their Customer Services as to why there were new CHARGES on a CLOSED ACCOUNT, usually we were told they would "look into it". We filled out Macy's Fraud Investigation request form, hoping that would solve the matter. Meanwhile, as the months passed, the SERVICE CHARGES kept accruing. Now the amount due has reached $135 on the original $25 on a CLOSED ACCOUNT.
Yesterday, we finally heard from Macy's, in writing, stating they were sorry for the delay, but after investigating the situation, THE AMOUNT WAS STILL PAST DUE. The ENTIRE situation remains UNRESOLVED, and of course, negatively impacting Mom's credit score. We are going to pay the bill just to have the matter over with, however, I would like the amount paid on this CLOSED ACCOUNT to be returned. I guess we will pursue it in small claims court.

It says I haven't paid anything since my last statement over a month ago! Then how did it change? Also, this is at least the third time I've made a payment, got nasty overdue calls (the next day to two days later!) and checked to find yet another amount I supposedly owed.
What the Hell? How much have I lost due to these billing practices? When I get my income tax refund, I am paying the rest of the card off and never even shopping at a Macy's again. I also reiterate that the customer service is the rudest I've encountered anywhere, ever. I've gotten multiple hang up calls where they say rude things, even.

I have never, in my life, been more frustrated with a store before. I just recently opened an account right before Christmas. I thought it would help share cost of my bills and spread it out. I should have just paid with cash. I have it. So maybe that is my one down fall. Anyways the incompetent sales associate that opened my account put in the WRONG address. There is a street in my town that is what the saleslady put as my address. So guess where my credit card went? To the wrong address, of course! Guess where my first bill statement went? To the wrong address, of course! So fast forward to 3 days after my first statement is late...
I get a call from Macy's. I answer and the customer service agent says that I am late on a payment. I remember that I purchased some items and say I never received my statement. AS I am saying this; no, literally AS I am SPEAKING, the customer service agent says "What is you bank account number so that you can pay your debt." I say well I don't feel comfortable giving you my bank account number, debit card number, etc. over the phone, but can you tell me where you sent the statement as I did not receive it? And the customer service agent says the WRONG address to me and I say umm that's why. Can you send it to my ACTUAL address? And the customer service agent unwillingly obliges. (I think they may get off when they collect a debt {and yes I can say "them" because I spoke to 6 customer service agents in the span of 3 weeks now})
So 5 days later (and a second phone call) I receive the statement and what do you know it's a second statement that isn't even due for 3 weeks!! That customer service agent I spoke to the first time didn't even send the one that is overdue!! AHAHAH. So I call Macy's (3rd time for this issue caused by a Macy's associate!) and I say "Hey ummmm... the person I spoke to earlier about this debt I have" AND AGAIN BEFORE I CAN GET MY SENTENCE OUT THEY ASK FOR MY BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER SO THAT THEY CAN COLLECT THIS DEBT!!
Now I would have just paid the part that was overdue because I could see the "remaining balance due" from the previous statement... but... I can't see what was purchased on the overdue bill! So I'm stuck contemplating how much I bought, or if it was even me that bought said stuff since I NEVER RECEIVED MY MACY'S CARD AND EVERYTHING OF MINE WAS SENT TO AN ACTUAL ADDRESS (just not the right one!) and someone else could have used my card!
So I explain to this third customer service associate and he promises to send me my first statement and also my card so that I can pay through my bank account online! I thank them profusely. Problem is nothing ever arrives! Another 3 people call trying to collect this debt and I keep telling them I am waiting for my account number and the first bill that are coming so that I can review purchases and pay online etc.! Then today! I GET A CALL AT WORK AND I AM FURIOUS! THIS HAS GONE ON LONG ENOUGH. This sales associate tells me that my only option to pay the debt is to go into a Macy's store to get my account number because my card was never coming since my account is not up to date! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? All I wanted to do was pay my bill and not only was there an interest charged from the first bill not being paid to the second because I NEVER RECEIVED IT!
I also can't get my account number any other way than driving an hour out of my way to the store because of some idiot who screwed up my address! I also find it extremely hypocritical that MY Macy's account can't be given to ME over the phone, however, there's no big deal in sharing MY BANK ACCOUNT INFORMATION to Macy's over the phone. Laughable. I am beyond mad. I have told everyone I know to spread the word how horribly difficult Macy's makes paying bills and how incompetent they are at setting up new customers.

Did not get my first month bill, never did get my card, and then when I was apparently three days late, I got a barrage of six calls per day, even after I talked to them they still kept calling. They wouldn't even give me my account information so that I could log on and make a payment! I am furious, closed my account. Never again - adios Macy's!!!

In the middle of December I got a call for a job interview. I realized I didn't have a suit so I found a few on Macy's.com that I liked and I ordered multiple suits in various colors, styles and sizes, figuring I was bound to find something I liked and I could just return the rest. Got the shipment, found one I liked, shipped back the rest. It was around Christmas so to be fair I figured it would take a while to process my returns.
On 12/31/14 I received three emails confirming receipt of my packages (I had to send three packages back because there were so many suits). I was glad they received them but in the middle of January I went to check my Macy's credit account to see if I had been credited the nearly $500 back for the suits I returned and it said that a gift card had been issued.
What the hell? Never in my life have I heard of giving a gift card back on a purchase made with a store's credit card. If you want to offer that option, fine, but who would rather have a gift card than credit on their account? Anyway, I called and the woman was helpful. She told me to just cut up the gift cards when they came (there were multiple cards because the orders were separated into parts) and that they would credit my account, 5-10 business days. Kept checking my account and nothing. I finally made a payment towards my bill even though I wasn't positive how much I owed for the one suit I kept, because of how poorly Macy's seems to treat its customers with past due accounts.
I called again the end of January and the three different people I spoke with told me they couldn't find a record of any returns. So you emailed me that you received them AND you sent me off cards but you have no record of it? Finally they said the same thing, that they would credit my account and it would take 5-10 business days. Called again on Friday, 13 business days later. Again they have no record of the returns. The woman was very helpful and swears she got it sorted out but I'm not holding my breath. I've had a Macy's card for 10 years and have never been late on a payment.
As soon as this mess is resolved I'm closing my account. I barely shop there as is. All their "discounts" come with 800 exclusions, and clearly they aren't just incompetent but deceitful as well. Take your business elsewhere. Oh and now my out-of-store account says no recent transactions and I've had a $0 balance for years but I now have a $100 balance. Wish me luck getting that resolves.

In reading other's comments I'm sad to say my Mom's situation is not stand alone. She went to the bank to take out a HELOC only to find out that Macy's reported her account as delinquent. As with many other customer comments she never received a bill or notification. She promptly called the collections agency. They were unable to give her any details about what the purchase was for, when it was made, etc. but gave her some random email address to send an inquiry to. We then called Macy's and were unable to get anyone on the phone until I put my account number in and told the system I wanted to cancel my account. A woman finally told us this was all about a $13 t-shirt but couldn't tell us where it was purchased, etc.
We were then transferred to someone who said they would give us no further information, that my Mom's account had been closed and we could only speak to the collections agency... whom you might remember had no details about what this charge was for. I asked to speak to a manager and after many condescending and dismissive comments he gave us a new phone number to contact. That number... was a Mercedes Benz dealership.
My 71-year old Mom was so distraught at this point that she called the collections people back and paid off the monies. We by no means were trying to shirk our financial responsibility. If this was legitimately my Mom's charge we were happy to pay! But the way Macy's handled this was appalling. Clearly they just see us all as sheep buying their substandard product, in dirty stores, from rude and disinterested sales people. Good luck keeping your doors open. Not that they care but they just lost three customers that have been with them for many many years.

Rest assure after my experience this morning I will NEVER purchase from Macy's again. Yesterday I placed an expensive order (1197.00) through a customer service representative through Macy's. At that time placing the order for a mattress was fairly easy and the customer service rep was very helpful. However, after giving more thought to the purchase I attempted to cancel the order well within 24 hours of the purchase. Macy's phone system was reading my home telephone number and associating with the order I had wished to cancel. Every time I got as far as thinking I could to speak to a representative in regards to my order, I was told I was not calling within normal business hours although I was.
This happened three times until I finally called Discover and had to bother them to try to refuse the pending charges to Macy's. They were able to get a live person on the telephone almost immediately, but then again their number wasn't being associated with a sales check number. The aggravation and frustration put forth to try to talk to someone live to cancel my order was mind boggling.
Macy's hours to place orders were far more expanded than to speak with anyone to cancel it, or even change it if that was what I would have desired to do so. In addition to this the customer service representative Joanna thought she had placed me on hold and I heard her laughing with a co-worker over the frustration I had went through. She obviously thought the entire ordeal was a joke. Macy's also does not offer in any way an option to cancel the order online, nor can you reach customer service via email. Macy's is no more than a glorified Target in my opinion, and in the future I don’t plan on ever shopping at either one again. Word to the wise, they're eager for the sale, but when it comes to cancellations buyer beware.

Open an account in December, never received a credit card in the mail or bill. Started getting these phone calls several times a day, so on a Sunday when that number showed up I decided to call it back and found out it was Macy's saying they had not received a payment. I told them I had not received anything from them, they had sent card and bill to old address. I said, "Why would you all do that?" That is when said was my address different from dl #, I said yes and I gave them my current address at the store when I open the account. She "the computers cannot update in the stores," and I said, "ma'am people move every day." This was on 1-25-15. So I gave her my current address and she stated card and bill would be in the mail.
On 2-2-15 got a call from Macy's stating this a business matter. I called. Once again still no bill and no card, I told the rep. I still have not received a bill and I gave the rep. my correct address the last. All she could say is, "I don't know why you haven't received anything but I can take a payment over the phone." As of today nothing from Macy's, I guess they will be calling and harassing me again for the next payment. So thru with that store, I feel that l have been discriminated against.

My Macy's bill arrives by email. In Sept. 2014 I offered to buy something for a friend -- the salesperson asked if I would help a charity and use my Macy's card. In Jan. 2015 I received a paper bill indicating an overdue account. I called immediately and was told that since my email did not "bounce back" to Macy's I was lying re: not receiving the bill by email. I paid the bill IN FULL before its due date. Macy's reported me to a credit agency. Today I received a Xeroxed paper bill (not the original) with a $2.00 "fee" on it. When I called Macy's a pre-recorded message said that the fee would be taken off the account BUT TO PAY MY ACCOUNT ON TIME. I wonder where my original bill went? Who sent the Xeroxed bill? How do you get charged a fee when you have a zero balance? After 25 years of shopping at Macy's I am done.

I purchased $22 dollar items on October 25th, 2014. I didn't receive a billing statement in November or December. In December, I shopped for Christmas, charging about $225. When my January statement arrived I noticed that two late fees had been added for not paying on the $22 purchase made in October. I called to find out why the statements had not come to me because I pay all my credit cards charges in full each month. Credit said the statements had been sent through my email account.. Meanwhile, they reported late payments to the credit bureau, causing my score to drop by 100 points.
I asked them to take off that false information from my credit report, but they wouldn't do so because they said the billing statement sent to my email address never came back to them. When I asked which email account they used, they said they couldn't tell me. I've not received a February billing statement from them which should show an overpayment and a return purchase credit. When I called, the amount of credit balance was incorrect. I also have spent too much time trying to take care of this messy situation. They are supposed to refund my overpayment with a check. It's supposed to take about 10 days.
From what I've read on this forum, I do believe we should all get together for a class action law suit against Macy's credit service. Having a lowered credit score means I will pay more for car insurance and any other loans I might apply for. The information won't come off my credit report until 2021.

Last September I moved to a brand new built house in a subdivision that is still in the process of building up. I tried ordering items from Macy's online but every time I got to the complete order button it would tell me that my address was invalid. I have gone through every step with the post office, UPS and FedEx to have my address to my home validated. I have had no problems using other stores website. Macy's was AWFUL. I called the first time and after 45 minutes of being jerked around from department to department I had someone tell me that they took care of it and it would work. When I tried again it gave me the same invalid address.
I called them again and this time they tried putting me on hold long enough for me to hang up...I did not. No one there knows how to help me and I have to say that other than one nice woman that I talked to, the rest were just mean. They tried to make it sound like this was somehow my fault or that I was just too stupid to use their website. The last two times I called I had them put the orders through their side (which works go figure) but other than that I have not and will not use their website...heck I can't if I tried! They told me back at Thanksgiving that it would take 2-6 weeks for the system to realize that it was a valid home address.
Well it’s now Feb 10 and still no dice! And now I realized all my mail has stopped coming from Macy's as well. I go there once in a blue moon to get something for my husband but I really try to stay out of there. Their customer service is just disgraceful. I'm basically paying off my bill to cancel the thing I tell everyone not to bother. I have no idea when the switch came but I use to rave about Macy's help.... no more! I have read about other ppl talking about Macy's keeping them on hold till the person hangs up or they do it to you. They should all lose their jobs. I'm sure there are others that would love to have a job and could do it much better. FYI, the order number I gave you worked because I was not sending it to my home. I was sending it to my brother and sister in law in Philadelphia and how funny is this...they live in a new home on a brand new street too!!!

I was in Macy's on December 14, 2014 shopping for a necklace for my mom for christmas. The cashier told me to sign up for a Macy's card to get a gift card for $40 on my next visit in. Total the necklace ended up costing $233. I NEVER sign up & charge my card unless i have the money to pay it off that day. If i charge my card I IMMEDIATELY pay it off with cash right then and there. I just did it so i was able to get the gift card, which right after, i paid cash. My boyfriend was there with me and even said he remembers me paying also.
Weird how my receipt never showed that i even made a payment. I'm assuming whoever was working the register just pocketed my money. Macy's has been calling me, telling me that i owe the full $233 and that i never paid, which was definitely a surprise to me! They're now telling me this is under investigation but told me that collections will not stop calling unless i pay at least $75 today. NEVER will Macy's have any purchases from this family again!!!

I will never shop or order from Macy's again and I will advise all of my friends and family to do the same. In 2 months I had 2 separate orders messed up, where an item $100 less than the one I ordered arrived. In one case, a completely different item than the one I ordered arrived. When I called customer service to advise and get the correct item, IN BOTH SITUATIONS, was told the item is no longer available and they could do nothing for me. I spent an hour on the phone today just trying to get a refund for the $150 boots I never received. They even tried to tell me I couldn't get my refund until I sent back the incorrect item they sent me. What do I want with a pair of boots that I don't even like and that are 1 size too big?!
I had to speak to the customer service associate, the supervisor, and then the manager to get a refund that is going to take 3-5 business days. In regards to the order 2 months ago, I asked to speak to a supervisor at the time, was told one was not available, but that one would call me BUT NO ONE EVER DID. I don't know why it is so hard to pick a correct item from a warehouse, place it in a box, and ship the item. It almost appears a scam of some sort is going on behind the scenes somewhere. I was never offered a separate item of comparable value, a discount, or anything else to make things right for the stress and time I had to spend on the phone just to get my money back. What a joke of customer service.

The boots were returned and a Macy's email was sent to me on 1/14/2015 stating that my account is being credited (will take 7-10 business days) with a credit amount of $83.57 which is correct. On 1/20/2015 I received a Macy's gift card for that amount to use for future orders (I did not ask for) wanted refund to my credit card.

She stated that she shows that it is in the process and would take 7-10 business days for the processing time. Still no credit has been issued.
Made another phone call on 2/6/2014 @ 10:44 AM (Andrew) and he stated that he doesn't show any credit in the process of being issued and he would start one 7-10 business days again.

I am taking additional time from day regarding Macy's inability to resolve a customer service issue. I placed an order on January 4th or 5th for a total of about $480.00. I received confirmation of the order and awaited the shipment. However a couple of days later, I received an email stating my order was cancelled per my request for which I did not submit to Macy's. I called Macy's to re-order the items and I started receiving items the next day (I did not request express shipping) from the original order. I then received additional cancellation emails for the items ordered over the phone at which point I became extremely frustrated.
However again, items began arriving at my address for which was charged to my debit card individually for each item shipped. I did not receive the entire order so I called Macy's again and re-ordered the jewelry (I received the silver hoop earrings) for which the representative agreed to expedite shipping at no additional cost which totaled about $145.00. Imagine my surprise when I checked my account that evening and noticed a negative balance of $370.00. Macy's submitted multiple charges to my account in the amount of $829.10 for the order I submitted earlier that day. I was livid and the next day when I called and had to go through several prompts to try and speak with a representative, explained the issue and was offered a $10.00 gift card or discount on my next order.
I became extremely agitated and asked for a manager. I was transferred to the resolution center; I spoke with Kristen who remained very patient, contacted my bank (while we were on the telephone) and was able to have my funds released and obtained approval to process two gift cards totaling $100.00. I thanked her for her assistance and was satisfied the issue was resolved. The next day I received an email stating per my request, my order for the necklace was cancelled. I called Macy's again and went through the whole prompt process of getting to a representative and requesting assistance from the resolution center and I believe this time Jeffrey(?) answered the call and started the conversation by calling me by first name for which I reminded him I am a customer and did not give him permission to call me by first name.
We argued about the cancellation of the necklace; I explained I did not cancel the order. Eventually he said the item was no longer available and he was going to cancel the request (really, I had already received an email stating the item was cancelled per my request). After several back and forth exchanges, I became disgusted and agreed the item should be cancelled and I stated to him as a resolution specialist he should have either offered to look for a similar item or something to address my dissatisfaction. We then were on the telephone quietly for about 30-45 seconds, nothing was said until I asked him was there anything else. He said no and I hung up. No apology or anything from this specialist.
This morning I noticed my account is again in the negative. I arrive at work (couldn't use my card to get gas), look at my account and see the same multiple charges that were resolved previously back on my account. I am so frustrated to the point I'm crying. This is the worst experience I've ever had purchasing an item via the internet. I go through the arduous process of contacting the resolution specialist and Luke is the representative. I explain the problem and told him we need to resolve the issue immediately, not in 3-10 business days. We call the bank, he contacted the fraud department (that's not who Kristen contacted). Somehow he was disconnected and he tried to call my mobile number but I was still on hold from a land line and did not recognize the number. Eventually I was disconnected on the land line.
I call back and was connected back to Luke; I explained to him Kristen stated "authorizations" when she called and was transferred to the correct department for which he did and we were connected to customer care and resolved the issue temporarily as long as Macy's did not try to process the charges. Luke stayed on the phone, asked me to hold while he spoke with his supervisor; Ryan got on the phone. I take him through the entire process and he expressed his apologies and stated he was going to speak with his manager to get authorization to process a $150.00 gift card. I said okay and waited patiently. He returned and stated he was authorized to process a $100.00 gift card to which I said "I placed a $480.00 purchase and have been charged nearly $2,000.00 (although the funds were returned) and the manager is only offering $100.00 gift card."
I stated I would rather have a check. Of course he said that is not authorized. I said go ahead process the gift card because after dealing with this issue for two hours this morning, I have to get to work. Needless to say, I extremely disappointed with Macy's online ordering system, the representatives' inability to recognize the magnitude of an issue beyond the scope of their ability to resolve, the resolution team member's lack of customer service, the multiple charges to my account, the time I've had to spend trying to be a Macy's customer and calmly resolving an issue, and the lack of oversight and response from a member of the management team to address my issue. The number of calls to the resolution from one particular customer about a re-occurring issue should have generated some interests from management and hopefully the calls were recorded and will be used as a teaching tool for future customers.

He again asked me to repeat everything I said 3 times, even spelling it out phonetically. This call also took a half hour.
In the end, I did get the 20% off, which is good, because I spent in time what I would have made in an hourly wage, and I worked for it! When I went to write my reviews of the coats, I shared the above experience. To date, the reviews were never posted on Macy's website.

I am absolutely disgusted about the way macy's treats their customers. On December 26, 2014, I tried purchasing 4 items online but the order didn't go through. I called customer service to help me out. After almost one hour the person said everything is ok now. I gave her my email address to send me the order number. Later on, I went to my email there is no order number.
December 27, 2014, I called customer service to said "I made an order online from my phone, I was waiting for the order number." I asked the person to check for me. He said "madam there is no order under your name." He said "give me your phone number." I gave it to him. He said "there is no order place from your phone either." I insisted. I gave him the number of the gift card I used and he said "there is no order place on your card."
I said to him "how much money do you see in my card." He said "you don't have any money on your card." I said "can you verify my credit card for me please because I gave the person the number of my gift card and my credit card." After a while, he told me there is no charge on my credit card. Last week when I went online to pay my credit card. I saw I have been charge from them one on December 27, 2014 and the second on January 6, 2015 for the same order.
I called Macy's on Saturday 17, 2015 to ask them what is going on, why they charge me. The person treated me so bad like I am doing something wrong. She said to me they are not responsible for that. I have to go file a dispute to my bank. I said to her "I will do it but I want to know why I have been charge if I didn't receive any items." She said "what is your name?" I said "I told you already I am..." And she "give me your address." I gave her my address and she said "the order was made on another name is Jennifer." "What, who is Jennifer?"
She said "they sent it to your address." I said to her "can you give me the full name," she said: "it is confidential. I cannot give it to you." I wasn't in my house at this time. When I called my family to ask them if they received an order under the name, they said yes but they gave it back to Ups because there is nobody under this name living on the house.
I called the credit department, the person treated me badly. She didn't want to listen to me. She said to me "you are the one who make this order, you pay for it." No. I called macy's.com to help me make the order and they messed up with it. She said "madam we cannot do anything about it because you are the one who made this order". I told "can you listen to me first, let me finish what I have to say and then you can make a decision."
After my explanation, she went and checked, she saw they UPS didn't deliver the second package because they couldn't find the person and I said to her checked for the first one for me. The thing is macy's.com made a mistake but they made me feel I am the bad guy. Tonight I was just trying to talk to them about the same issue. The person asked me to hold on, she is going to call somebody for me. I waited about 5 to 10 minutes then they hung up the phone on me.

Add me to the long list of people here who were not emailed their statements as promised and then hit with two months of late fees. Our $22 bill just turned into $78. They called us to collect the $78. We tried to have the fees reversed to no avail. I logged into our Macy's Profile to see where they were supposedly sending the statements to and the email address was entered correctly and the check box for "Email my statements" was checked. Still they did not accept responsibility for the lack of statements.
This is actually the 2nd time they have done this to us. The first time we spent hours on the phone with them and they assured us it was resolved. A couple years past and we didn't use that card. And now this. We are done being scammed by Macy's! I can now see the pattern. It happens to people with small balances so they can extort more money from them. We will NEVER buy from Macy's again and I suggest you do the same.

I was traveling out of country for two and half months last year. I was shopping at macys and the sales person at the counter pleaded me to open a rewards card. She did not tell me it was a credit card. I then gave her my credit card for payment. But it was charged to macys card rather than my credit card which I was not aware of. Once I came back to US after 2 and half months, I received a call from Macys for payment and then I paid it off immediately. I did not know that this was reported to credit bureau. I was planning to buy a house when I ran a credit check and came to know about it. Macys is right in saying that as per rule they have to report if I miss payment for 2 months and I am responsible. I am not denying any of it. Issue is I did not request it. I ACTUALLY did not receive the statement. As soon as I did, I did pay it off. There is no chance they even consider proofs of my staying out of country (Passport) to get this fixed. I get ridiculous interest rates on home loan because of this.

I bought two comfort shoes that were on sale for 125.00 each in November 15, of 2014 from Macy's valley fair in San Jose... I did not have a Macy's credit card at that time, so an associate assisted me to acquire one. I was approved but then she asked me if I want to give a donation to Macy's that she termed as sharing. So she asked for my debit card. and She swiped it. I was charged a sharing fee. But she said that I will have a discount from the two shoes. I was so happy to have a Macy's card.
Then when my statement came I noticed that I was charged double for the shoes instead of 125 plus tax. So instead of a $250 charged plus tax, I owe more than $500 on that credit card I went to Macy's Eastridge to return both shoes in December 2014 because It was on my way going home. I live close to Eastridge San Jose. I was assisted by two sales personnel, one was a young lady and a swing shift supervisor, a young man as well I did not remember their names as I was so anxious to get this resolved. Both did not understand at first why I was charged double. The supervisor approved the return and the young continued to assist me. So the the transaction was done. I asked if I will not owe Macy's anymore since I return both merchandise... She said "Yes," but added that I have to wait several days for the transaction to process in the system.
I was relieved at that time. Today I received another statement claiming that I owe $127.00 and it is showing that there was only one comfort shoes that was returned. Now my question is, What happened to the other pair that I returned, It was not recorded that was returned? I remember exactly what register the young associate used when I returned both pairs of shoes. I will not pay the bill that I did not purchase nor spend. I intend to return the credit card and never to shop at Macy's again. If that's how they treat their clients or shoppers, I wonder I what kind of customer service are they providing.

I placed an order on Dec 8, 2014 and on the 8th I was charged for the full amount, which is understandable. However, some companies I have purchased items from will ONLY charge a card when the item is SHIPPED. I received an email saying that I would receive 3 shipments. Later on, on the 8th I received another email saying an item had to be voided because the item was no longer available. Anyway, on the 9th Macy's charged my card AGAIN for 2 of 3 my shipments. So in 2 days I was charged almost double of what my original order was. I have a HUGE problem with that because MACY'S kept me from making other purchases. I understand I was not actually charged but those 'charges' were still pending on my credit card which tied up my funds. I was unaware that I was charged the 2nd time so when I tried to purchase an item on another website I couldn't get the order to go through and I couldn't understand why because I knew I had money left on the card.
After a few tries on this other website I am just stumped why I couldn't make a purchase so I log onto my credit card carrier’s website and see that I have NO AVAILABLE credit. Since I had nearly $800 pending from Macy's, all of which was not my order total, then I had other pending charges from the other website - the order that never went through. Between Macy's and the other website 'pending' charges I had MAXED out my available balance when in reality I had a lot of money available. So all I could do was wait for the charges to fall off and at Christmas time you don't have time to wait. So then I COULDN'T use my card AT ALL!!! So I called Macy’s Customer Service dept. and spoke to one girl who was no help because she said that I was charged for EACH of my shipments - my credit card statement shows otherwise. So I asked to talk to a supervisor.
She transferred me somewhere so I told another person the story and ONCE AGAIN I am transferred. When I talk to the 3rd person I had to tell him the story ALSO. I finally got him to transfer me to a supervisor (Eli, employee #**), and he didn't help either. All he said was that he could call my bank but they were closed. He did offer me a $20 gift card, which I didn't take because that was an INSULT considering the HUGE credit card problem Macy's created for me. If I would have NEVER been CHARGED $***.** AND $***.** for an order that ended up costing me only $***.** I would have NEVER had unnecessary charges declined from another company, which took almost a week to fall off my card!!!! So after the charges fell off I paid UNNECESSARY shipping charges just to get items to me in time for Christmas; not to mention that two of the items I was trying to purchase from the other website was no longer available.
Once I received the items and tried them I had to return a majority of them because they didn't fit. I mailed the items on the Dec 18,2014 and Macy's received it on Dec 22, 2014. It is now Jan 5, 2015 and I am still waiting for them to credit my credit card. On Jan 5, 2015 I receive gift cards in the mail - that is my credit card refund???? Yes, instead of CREDITING MY CREDIT CARD they GIVE ME GIFT CARDS!!!!! So once again I have to call Macy's and waste more of time and life on them. Talked to Michael - he said that the warehouse made a mistake issuing the gift cards and that he could credit my card but it would take 7-10 business days to receive the money because they had to submit a request. To which I asked to speak to his supervisor, Ray (employee #**) and he told me the same thing. I am sorry but that is unacceptable.
So I asked to talk to Ray's boss and got Jewel (employee #**) and she told me the same thing. So after talking to 3 people I guess I don't have a choice but to wait 7-10 business days. I don't understand why they couldn't just cancel the gift cards and issue a credit. I understand they have a process that they have to follow but after all the crap I been through with them you would think that they could make an exception to their policy that request of theirs is messing up my credit card account. I don’t care if Macy’s is over a hundred years old, if they keep up these practices and poor customer service they will not be around another 10 years. Customer service is the #1 reason why most people do or do not return to a store.

I'm absolutely appalled and sickened by the way Macy's treats their customers and handles credit card accounts. My credit score (was perfect!) has been seriously affected over a $10 bill that MACY'S FAILED TO PROVIDE NOTIFICATION, either via email or mail regarding the outstanding balance. Not only has Macy's lost a very good customer, I am now going to have to sue Macy's Inc. over this horrific situation which will take an inordinate amount of time away from my business and family to rectify Macy's incompetency! To say to me that I should just know that I owe $10 to them without any written documentation is not only absurd, it is absolutely incredulous!
I have so many credit cards! I have NEVER BEEN TREATED SO BADLY! Bottom line, I spoke to previous Macy's reps, told me that I WAS NOT PROPERLY notified of the outstanding $10 charge. Furthermore, not one rep told me that I was being reported to the crediting agencies. Now, I received a notice in the mail that Macys reported me AND my husband to Equifax over $10. Therefore, OUR CREDIT SCORE HAS BEEN ADVERSELY AFFECTED OVER $10!
Your "supervisor" was less than understanding, absolutely NO HELP, and now I will have to begin legal proceedings over this mysterious $10 bill that had not been paid! You think I would pay $10 if I had any knowledge about this? Macy's should have sent paper notification of their intended action, but I did NOT RECEIVE ANYTHING regarding a $10 bill. Oh and it was a joint account so Macy's ruined both our credit scores over $10! I am an attorney and will sue Macy's under MGL c. 93, Unfair Deceptive Business and Trade Practices. It's just sickening that I will have to waste my time, effort and money to rectify this! Macy's is the WORST company and their supervisor was actually the most inappropriate and flippant with me...SO DISRESPECTFUL!

I was a Macy's customer for over 10 Years. I have been a really good and loyal customer to their stores, purchasing clothe, jewelry, furniture etc, etc. I have always pay my balances on time, and even if I have big balances as a result of buying expensive goods, I have always cancelled the balances way before the terms. Last month I made a mistake assuming I had no balances in my account, (there was a 75 dollars balance) I did not made the corresponding payment. After purchasing an expensive ring for my wife, I went online and find out there was a late charge in my account, so I call Macy's and agree to payoff the balance. To my surprise, I find out the very next day that they went ahead and reported my account as delinquent to the FICO credit companies, dropping my credit score from 830 to 720. I call their customer service, trying to get this report withdrawn, instead they treated me really bad. I cancelled the account with Macy's, I am convince I was a victim of discrimination as I am Hispanic. You don't report your customers that way, at least not before analyzing the background and profile of the customer. This was outrageous!

My total came to $2430.00. I paid $2000.00 in cash and my sister paid the $430 with her debit card. I went home excited and was looking at it again online. So I started reading the reviews and they read like a horror story most complaining of the quality. That was a Friday. My sister and I went back to the store on Monday to cancel the transaction and they would not give me my money. They said because I paid cash they had to send my cancellation request to their corporate office to get it approved and they would issue me a check in about a month.
I looked at my receipt - there was no policy information on it. There was no written policy anywhere in the store. I was there for about two hours trying to get my cash back going up the ladder from store manager to corporate manager who said "This is the way we've always done it since he had been at Macy's." That's as far as it went. They refused to give me my cash back.
It is now January 3rd, 2015. I have still not received my refund. When I checked last week they said they finally got the approval. Now it would be another 10 to 14 days to issue me a check. What happened to when you pay cash you get cash back? This is absolutely unbelievable to me. They are holding my money hostage and citing some unwritten policy. I really wish I could afford a lawyer. By them holding up my money I have been unable to purchase another sofa I found which will only be on sale through the weekend. This is ridiculous and should be against the law.

Macy's credit services are the most screwed up and harassing service that I have ever seen. I bought a large purchase for Christmas in 2013. They convinced me to sign up for a credit card because of no interest and no fees. I did not receive a statement until late January after the due day of the 19th. I attempted to sign up for auto payments online the first month, February 2014, at which time a late fee and interest had already been charged. I spoke with someone at that time and the late fee and interest was reversed. Also at that time, I was advised that the auto payment was set up.
In February the auto payment still do not happen and another late fee was charged. I asked them to reverse the fee and they did again, but still wasted another hour on the phone. Also at that time, they assured me that the auto payment was in effect. The auto payment went smoothly for about 3 months. Then in June again it failed. I attempted to catch up again in July, again the late fee was reversed and again I was assured that the auto payment was in effect verbally over the phone. The next month the auto payment was not taken again and once more I got a late fee assessed. I attempted to get it reversed and the rep spoke from a script claiming that the system will not allow more than 3 reversals. I asked to speak to a supervisor and was told the same thing.
I since have paid everything but the $25 late fee by getting on line every month and assigning an account number, which is very time consuming. I explained to them in messages that I will not pay the $25 and now I am getting more late fees for not paying the original $25 late fee. Their service is definitely offshore and has limited understanding of what is really happening. I have an impeccable credit history and Macy's has goading and coerced me into a situation that infuriates me.

We have a Macy's credit card that we rarely use. Sometime in the past, Macy's stopped sending us paper bills and started using electronic bills instead. We made a purchase on 4/14 and never received an electronic bill in our email. Since we did not see a bill and we rarely use the card, we forgot to make the payment on time. On June 25th, we received a phone call from Macy's telling us we were late on our payment. We immediately made the payment over the phone and were concerned that this would show up on our credit report. We were assured by the customer service representative that it would not show up on the credit report since it was not over 60 days past due (I am sure you have recordings verifying this conversation took place if you need to check).
Now we have discovered that is indeed did get reported to all three credit agencies and now our credit has taken a significant hit right when we are trying to get financing for a home. I am not disputing that we had a late payment. We forgot about paying the bill (which we would not have given that we still received paper statements). I am disputing the validity of the time the payment was past due. After talking to your credit department, they swear that the payment is over 60 days past due. The charge in question was made on 4/14 which showed up on the bill that was due on 5/21. We payed the bill that was due on 4/21. Therefore, when we made the payment on 6/25, it should only be 34 days past due and thus should not have been reported to the credit agencies.

I placed an order on Dec 7. I was notified that it would be shipped on Dec 11. I spoke with 3 customer services representatives on Dec 15 and on Dec 18. All of them assured me the item would be shipped within a day. Late at night on the 18th I received an email that the item was no longer in stock. I know it had been in stock prior to that, as I was continuing to track its availability. Potential customers of Macy's need to be aware of this seemingly deliberate misinformation by customer service representatives and inability of Macy's to deliver on its promise.

I called waited for 35 minutes before someone answered. Was told I would receive a call back in one hour because they were updating their system.

I ordered this jacket in a size large on Dec 11, 2014 only to receive an email on Dec 12, 2014 from Borderfree stating that this item is not in stock! I live in Canada so for international orders Macy's uses Borderfree for their transaction! On Dec 11 & Dec 12 this item was showing on Macy's website as (in stock). Remember I placed my order on Dec 11, 2014... A girlfriend of mine who lives in Florida also ordered the exact jacket on Dec 12, 2014.... She received her jacket morning of Dec 15, 2015 yet I received a NOT IN STOCK confirmation Dec 12, 2014. When calling for Macy's to explain... They said that Borderfree never submitted the order! After contacting Borderfree they said they did send the order and the confirmation number they emailed me was given to them by Macy's...
So I just want to let everyone know... If you want to place an order on Macy's website....make sure you live in the United States...cause they cater to the United States clients not the international! But here's the most amusing part of it... Even though they don't have a product to send you international customers... Macy's & Borderfree can hold a pending authorization on your credit card if you use PayPal for up to (ready for this) 31 days! So think twice before you order from Macy's online and you don't live in the United States of America....
Oh ya! If you want to hear fifty (50) different stories from Macy's customer service and supervisors...you'll not only hear 50 you'll hear at least 100 yet none match! For example my favorite was... our website is virtual! Meaning product can randomly appear and disappear! Or just because it says it's in stock doesn't mean it is! I can go on and on! But my favorite is the pending authorization on credit cards for 31 days...for a product that apparently doesn't exist! I will never order on Macy's online website again! If I want to buy something in Macy's I'll do so when I'm physically there and I can see & touch product I want to buy! Just a note to Macy's you should be ashamed doing this to people especially at Christmas... And for the customer service and supervisors to whom I spoke to! Bravo! To your incompetence!

After receiving two pairs of shoes, I decided to return them. By printing the returning labels provided by Macy's, I dropped the shoes (two pairs) to the UPS store. However, I did not receive any refund. I contacted Macy's four times. Each time they promised to credit me back the money which they did not. On my account with them, it shows that the items have been duly returned. And, the last time when I called and they promised me again. I said "please have my money back right away" and they said that I need to talk to some other guys in Macy's and asked me for holding. Then they hung up on me which was so impolite and unbearable.

Today, I had a couch delivered, purchased in-store at Macy's. Unfortunately, due to either the fabric or perhaps the warehouse, there was a strange odor to the couch that made me feel nauseous. Despite loving the look of it, I had to send it back as it was filling my apartment up with weird fumes. The delivery service was amazing. I was working with Oscar and Michael from Route #117. Their attitudes and personalities were outstanding, better than any delivery service I've ever used. Hard-working, friendly, and truly helpful gentlemen.

Your credit card statement is generated literally the day you apply for their credit card. Typically, credit card companies allow you time to receive the card before generating a statement for it. This was not the case for Macy's. Then they apply late fees when you don't make a payment even when you haven't received the card yet.

I spent approximately 1.5 hours shopping online. When I was finished, I had seven items in my cart. As I went to checkout, I was notified that in order to process my order, I had to keep removing items from my bag that were not available, until I was down to just two of my items. I can think of nothing more irritating than wasting 1.5 hours of shopping, putting items into my cart that indicate they are available, and then not being able to purchase most of them.
In calling customer service to try to rectify the issue, I waited on hold for over five minutes. When I finally did speak with a woman named "Katey", she indicated that there was nothing she could do, except to put a note in my order that would indicate that I could call back on Friday, four days later (when one of the items would become available), whereby Macy's would honor the 25% "Friend" discount. She was going to go ahead and push my two-item order through, but disconnected me while I was waiting on hold. This was after 22 minutes on the phone with her. She never called back, even though she had already asked me for all of my information, credit card, address, phone number, etc. I called back again and got stuck on hold for over 15 minutes. I hung up, called back again, and spoke with another representative, who indicated that there were no notes in my order. In reexplaining the entire situation, I spent another 20 minutes on the phone and received no satisfaction, except that she was going to process my order for the two items in my cart. She indicated she placed my order.
When I got off the phone, I received a confirmation email that included only ONE of my two items that I was trying to order. She never indicated that one of my two items would also not be available or ordered. I have never been so frustrated or disappointed with an online order in my life. I shop online for the convenience, to save time, and to avoid the headaches of shopping in-store. All told, I probably spent about three hours of my life (which is probably less than reality) to order one item.
After I went back online last night at about midnight, I was somehow able to order three of the items (two pairs of boots and a North Face jacket) online successfully. How is this possible? That being said, today, I checked the status of my order and the North Face jacket is back ordered until December 30th, even though it clearly states online, today, that it is "IN STOCK" and will ship in four days, if I were to reorder it. Why would anybody shop online if none of the stock is actually available? Why bother with these hassles? Macy's is a joke.

OK, irritating, but the real problem is they make me call their automated line to find out what is happening and to get a refund. They should not try to sell online if they haven't the systems to do so. My advice, if you can avoid doing business with this company, then do so.

I have been a Macy's cardholder for over 20 years and have shopped there at least six or seven times a year. The beginning of August I made an $80 purchase. I have always received my statements online without any problems. I expected a statement would be emailed to me and didn't really keep track of time. In October I received a letter from Macy's that my account would now go to collections unless a payment was made. The total was now over $200 with all the late fees and interest charges. This was the first time I was notified that a bill was due. I called customer service and they were very rude and said it was my fault that I didn't pay the bill and she didn't care how much I paid. I asked to speak with a manager and was on hold for over 40 minutes. The manager reversed the late fees but wouldn't reverse the interest charge. They couldn't tell me why an electronic statement was never emailed to me and again blamed it on me. The only thing I can think of is that when I made my purchase in August the cashier asked for my email address and must have typed it in wrong because I always have gotten statements in my email.
I called back and canceled my credit card and will never shop there again because of the horrible customer service people who don't even care. When I canceled my card the customer service person didn't even ask why I was canceling it. Today I received a statement online (surprise surprise) from Macy's stating that I owe $2. Really??? I told them I had canceled my card over a month ago. The representative told me it was the finance charge for paying my bill late. This is ridiculous! I was finally able to get this credited back. What a joke. I will never shop there again. The customer service people are rude. If this is the first contact that anyone has with Macy's - good luck. Obviously Macy's doesn't care about customer service or they would hire better customer service people that really care.

This dresser was $599 and after taxes and mandatory delivery fee approx. $750. The images say more than words ever will. We originally ordered this in September. The original delivery was scheduled 10-12 on a Saturday. The driver called at 10:15 and said 15 minutes until he arrived. I had to leave at 12 for an appointment so I thought that would work and did not attempt to reschedule. They only give you your window the evening before. 20 minutes passed, 45 minutes passed. I called him. He yelled at me. Totally irate with me that I was questioning the delivery time.
I called customer service and called the order. The customer service rep apologized and said just to go to my appt. and that the dresser would not be delivered. We then found out the delivery driver did not check our dresser back into inventory (perhaps out of anger?) and so we had another set of hoops to jump through, but got it rescheduled. So by the way I am 37 weeks pregnant by the time they were able to get a second delivery set up. Then I get an email the day before delivery saying they changed it to mid November. I called and they said "oh yeah, we are doing inventory that day at the warehouse. Sorry." I canceled the order.
I then re-ordered it because it simply was the only one I could find that matched the crib. It was delivered in the state below (see pictures). The delivery guy said it would be easier for me to have him leave it and call in an exchange. I had to ASK for a discount and they gave us a 10% refund and said the dresser won't be in stock until Dec. 17 and at that time they would contact us and set delivery time. So I will be home with a newborn having to deal with Macy's and a dresser exchange. I am not hopeful the second one will be in any better shape and expect to return it eventually. Also, the construction is horrible. It boasted no manufactured wood in product description. It is the most poorly made thing I have ever seen and would be better off spending 1/3 the money at IKEA.

Macy's customer service is really bad. It's my first time here in the USA and purchasing stuff from Macy's. I made an order online and I cancel it. Then I called their representative to place another order for me but this time to express shipping. Their representative says that they already do it for me, but he mistakenly placed an order for standard shipping (while my card already gets charged). So he did placed it again and this time to express. He said he already cancelled the standard shipping order (which was his mistake), and he said Macy's will only charged me once which is for the express shipping order. However, this morning I called in again, and another representative said that two of my orders (standard and express) are both already in progress and they have successfully charged my account. And I can see I really got charged twice too.
This is ridiculous - how the representative lied to me and idk what I'm supposed to do now, that the orders are all successful and I ridiculously get charged twice for the same item! It's not my fault that the representative has not actually cancelled the standard shipping order and processing my item! So why am I the one getting the disadvantage?! I will never ever from Macy's again if I didn't get my refund back. I was on the phone with 2 representatives for like freaking 3 hours in the morning!

I have received the worst customer experience I believe I have ever had while trying to purchase items at this store where it took over an hour to purchase six items. While the sales clerks themselves were perfectly delightful, I had the unfortunate experience of having to speak with Elena, the store manager on shift. I had completed the Doorbuster deal code game where I received a $10 off code in a text message which included two numbers. In the email I received, I was told I could present these numbers at check-out to receive my discount. The first two people I attempted to complete my transaction with had no idea what the code was (which meant Elena didn't think to educate her staff on the promotion occurring this evening).
Looking to help, the person attempting to complete my transaction, contacted Elena. Elena took over 10 minutes to come downstairs. While I had a lovely chat with the sales associate, it wasn't exactly how I expected to be spending my time. When Elena finally came downstairs to help, she decided to take a pit stop and talk to some other people instead of coming over to help me. This prompted the sales clerk to have to walk over to her manager to encourage her to come help. After this, Elena finally informed her staff of the promotion (saying the reason why she didn't inform all of her sales associates of the promotion is because it was only for two days which, evidently, doesn't make it worth her time). Elena gave the sales associate a piece of paper with how to complete the transaction and give me my discount.
The sales associate, for the third time, attempted to complete my transaction. Unfortunately, the sales clerk was not able to complete the process to give me my $10 off. Then Elena tried to do it. She failed, meaning not only did she not educate her staff on the promotion, she wasn't very knowledgeable about it herself either. Finally, after an hour, Elena decided to simply give me $10 my transaction. Then Elena stormed off to go gossip about what just happened twenty feet from where I was standing (where she was still in sight) where she talked so loudly that I overheard her talking about the incident. So after an hour of shopping, I was finally able to leave the store with my 6 items bought at the proper price.
However, before leaving, I decided to walk over to another department that Elena had told me she informed about the promotion and where everyone would have been able to apply the code. Unfortunately, when I asked two more sales clerks if they knew what to do with the numbers, both told me they had no idea what it was. Thus, on top of everything else that had happened, I was lied to by Elena. Thus, I encourage you to rethink whether Elena embodies the Magic I'm supposed to feel when shopping at Macy's as tonight made me rethink whether I ever wanted to enter the store again.

I purchased a couple things from Macy's totaling $68. I made a payment immediately of $30 leaving a balance of $38. Well, I normally pay everything off right away and have excellent credit with no late payments, but this was a hard couple of months with a lot of traveling. Long story short is, I've been signed up for electronic statements and they never sent any kind of electronic statement or reminder.
One night I received an email from my credit monitoring service of a "potentially negative" report. Lo and behold it was from Macy's. I now owed them $94 and they had turned me into collections. I paid the bill immediately then called the next morning to Macy's credit department and was transferred to the tech department to find out what had happened. They were helpful, but nothing was resolved even though it was acknowledged that there was definitely a problem with me not getting any kind of electronic notification. I was then told to call back in a couple of days once my electronic payment had cleared. I was given a number to call consumer credit department and reference the conversation I had with the tech department.
A couple days later I checked my account and they had credited back half of my late fees. I then called the consumer credit department only to be greeted by a very condescending young guy. I told him that I had signed up for Macy's paperless statements and that Macy's had never sent any form of statement or reminder. His response was Macy's doesn't send out "statements," but electronic "notifications." I kept trying to explain to him that Macy's never sent anything. He then said, "it wasn't Macy's responsibility, you need to check your account monthly." It appears there is a scam going on here. If you have a small balance they like to see if you'll forget about it. What better way to do it than have people sign up for electronic notifications and never send them.

My wife and I went into our local Macy's store to shop on Sunday, November 16th. We were looking for new bedding and a new mattress set. We tried to make a purchase and were told that my Macy's account was frozen and we were unable to make the purchase. The following Monday, I called the customer service department and was transferred to credit department. I was told that my account was frozen and my limit reduced (from $1000 to $100) because of an unpaid fee of LESS THAN two dollars that was outstanding since July. Here's why this was shocking:
I walked into my local store on July 10 and told a clerk at the register that I wanted to pay my outstanding balance and zero out my account. I was told to pay $149.69, which I did via a debit card. I don't use this account very often and am aware of all charges I make on the account. Because I had paid it off, I assumed that I no longer owed money to Macy's. Had I been told that paying the $149.69 only covered existing charges and that there STILL may have been outstanding fees and/or charges to look out for, I would have kept an eye open for my statements. As it was, I did not feel the need to review my statements because I HAD PAID OFF MY BALANCE.
To find out that this "residual interest charge" of LESS THAN TWO DOLLARS compromised my account was shocking and upsetting. I spoke with the credit department, and was told that there was an outstanding balance of less than two dollars that was a "residual interest fee" that had been unpaid since July. She explained that she could not reinstate my $1000 credit limit without conducting a formal credit check- which I was unwilling to authorize, so I asked to speak to a supervisor. This man was neither friendly NOR helpful at all. He kept repeating that statements noting the outstanding fee had been sent to my home and I kept explaining that I had been informed by the in-store clerk on July 10th that my balance was ZERO, so why would I worry about reviewing my statements. He refused to offer any other assistance or solutions OR even FAKE that he appreciated my frustration. In the end I cancelled my account and will shop elsewhere.
I have told family and friends about this experience and have found out that my father-in-law and 2 other friends have had similar experiences. Two were able to get the fees removed and their accounts reinstated, one was not and, like us, she closed her account. I find this experience COMPLETELY unsatisfactory and appalling. They have lost a customer and I will continue to tell friends about this experience and warn them about these questionable practices.

I had a very bad experience with Macy's credit card. I had the card since 2012 and I have used it occasionally. Each time I used the Macy's credit card I paid it IMMEDIATELY at the store. I was never late on a payment, and I never made a payment that was less than the full amount owed. The last time I used my credit card I did not pay immediately because I was not sure if I was going to keep all the items I had purchased. My thought was to go home and try on the clothes and once I was sure about what I was going to keep and what I was going to return, I would make the payment. Unfortunately, I forgot and a month passed. I NEVER received the first bill. I received a bill two months later, saying that I was already a month late.
When the collection agency called me (at this point it was 2 months past due), I explained why I didn't make the payment on time and I was told (very rudely) that it was not their problem that I did not receive my bill. I was told that they had nothing to do with the mail system. I explained to the representative that I was a good customer and that she can see from my records that this is my first late payment and that I had a legitimate excuse for it. She said she could only take off the late payment fee for one month. Mind you the interests still remained part of my balance. So for a purchase of 30 dollars I was going to have to pay around 75 dollars. I said I would call back when I was able to make the payment seeing as I was busy at that moment.
When I called to make the payment, I got another representative and I explained the situation to him. He said he took off the late payment that I was told about before.....but my balance was almost 90 dollars. I don't know what kind of fee he took off but he assured me that that was the total amount without the late fee. All in all....I ended up paying 90 dollars for a 30 dollar transaction. I was so appalled and upset at the horrible service that I closed my account that day. The representative didn't even seem to care. I would assume that his job would have been to try to convince me to keep the account (I have worked in retail I know how important credit card accounts are for the company). He just closed the account and didn't even verify it with me. I had to ask if he had done it before, he hung up on me. He responded very rudely as though he wanted nothing else to do with me. I could easily sense the attitude he was giving me. Terrible terrible experience!!! They reported my "delinquent" activity to the credit bureau and have ruined my credit score.
Now I go to check my credit score report and I come to find that there are FOUR Macy's accounts under my name. These accounts were opened in 2006 (I WAS 14 YEARS OLD!!) These accounts couldn't possibly be mine, but they are affecting my credit score!!! So now I have to go out of my way to make credit report dispute because Macy's does not know how to handle people's information correctly. This has gotten out of hand!!! Lets see how they go about my credit score dispute....hopefully they will be able to fix it.

It said the store had 5 & spoke to an associate who said 3. I get to store & have none. Dept Mgr said on way from warehouse. I know where located and like 20 miles away. This is Mon the 3rd. He said give a day, call back. So Tues he says, Order online for overnight." I get email early on the 6th saying arriving today. Get to store 5pm, no delivery, FedEx no info. Call the 1800. Macy guy says on way, give an hr. I called store at 830, still no pkg. I call the 1800 back and now they say the 7th. "NO NO NO, I paid for overnight. You sent email and about 5 say an hr." Now gotta wait who knows how much longer. I expect a deep discount, maybe a gift card for all this trouble.

I was trying to place an order four times on line and after filling all personal and payment information requested for some reason the system deleted all the items on my bag and I couldn't finish. I called this morning at 12:00 pm to talk to a customer service representative. She found previous purchase with my email address and also she told to fill the order again that she will call me back between 12:30 and 12:40 pm. I was waiting until now and nobody call me back. It is 1:36pm eastern time. I am feeling really frustrated and upset with the way that your customer service representative handled my help request. I can't believe that a prestigious store like Macy's have problems with the website that I couldn't place my order and the customer service department is inefficient. I needed these items but with this experience I'll never try again to shop with Macy's.

Why is it I give Macy's lots of business through the years but am largely ignored? Ads I see show men older than 40, but no women? The girls are basically 15-25 years old? Then, there are the garments they try to pitch, all made in the orient, China of course. It's not working for me. I'll be heading for the boutiques, instead.

I was shopping in Macy's and have been a customer for years but this experience at this location in Lewisville, TX just ruined this location for me! I was shopping the clearance racks - I had a few items in my hand - I was by the brand INC - which I love.. .I found a few pieces but I wasn't ready to try on yet... The saleswoman asked to get me a room and I said no not yet. I would rather go to the larger dressing room where it was more private - I did not want to be bothered with salespeople. She was helping someone already in the dressing room and was making a fuss over there.
She came over to the rack I was looking through and kept reaching over my head to look at items on the rack - directly in front of me - all the time yelling back to someone in the dressing room area never once saying I am sorry or excuse me nor waiting for me to move. I must have picked up something she wanted - as she kept saying "It was just right here in a size small. Where could it have been?" She kept looking at me and was trying to see what I had in my hand... It made me very uncomfortable and being pushed aside so she could shop for someone else ticked me off... I walked off - but I knew of something I wanted to get off of that rack... so after about 5 mins- I went back over there... She did the exact - very same thing to me this time being even more aggressive and she actually took items out of my hand!
I picked up a couple of things and she took them straight out of my hand!! I have never encountered this in all of my life. I was with someone and I did not feel like making a scene in the store nor did I feel it was going to do any good - what would she do - anything different - not!! I said, "Come on, let's go elsewhere so we can shop where staff doesn't take things away from us..." I walked off - I dropped my items in a completely different dept - I was not going to give her the satisfaction of getting to pick up what I had in my hand. I have made a complaint via the website and have heard nothing from them yet. I will not shop at this location and I am so upset because I really wanted to buy what I had in my hand but I could not justify it with the rude treatment I had experience - it was just unacceptable!

It took a long time for delivery but I was ok with it because I wanted the bed for so long.. day of delivery there were two delivery guys that brought in my bed and as they were about to set it up, they open the box and there were slats for a full size bed.. I ordered a cal king.. The bed was the right size, it was the slats that were incorrect size.. So the delivery guy calls his waste house to explain the situation.. He hands me the phone and they tell me “we will order the slats for you but it will take 4 weeks for delivery”.. Unacceptable.. Customer service couldn't help me get them any sooner, no one seemed to care.. All they did was take off the delivery charge.. Woopy do! Very poor service for a 5 star delivery service which Macy's says they have.. Not even close..

I literally have NEVER had such a miserable experience as I have had since we were STUPID enough to spend $12,000+ in furniture in the past few months. (Not to mention we just got married - we registered with Macy's and bought all of our household items there - so that amount is actually north of $20,000). First we were lied to about what was in stock vs what wasn't by our sales person (her name is Joan - she's in the Clearwater furniture store) and since we had just moved to a new house without a lot of furniture that was a slight problem. I had to follow up with them numerous times only to find out that furniture we were waiting for (that we had been told we could get within a week or two after buying it) was sitting in the warehouse - but they were waiting for other out of stock items to arrive before they shipped it to us. (Clearly to avoid the extra shipping charges.) We were delivered the chairs for our dining room table WEEKS before the actual table and corresponding bench arrived - and when the table was actually delivered it was - I kid you not - BROKEN IN HALF.
When the delivery guy called customer service to find out when we could get another one I was informed I couldn't because it was not only out of stock - it was DISCONTINUED. When I asked what I was supposed to do with chairs and a bench and no table - I was told I could pick out another table. WTF?? I sent the entire set back with the delivery guys and wrote an email to Peter Sachse - President of Stores - expressing my disgust at the entire situation. Wouldn't you know it, the very next day I got a call from customer service. It seems an order for the table had been cancelled and all of a sudden they had one for us. Riiiight. With profuse apologies they delivered the entire set a couple of days later. STUPIDLY, I thought this was the end of our grief. We were only expecting one other piece of furniture and surely we would receive it and go on with our lives never shopping there again. Was that the case - Of COURSE not - because it's Macy's!!
Our final piece, a chest of drawers, was delivered with one of the drawers not working. It's a CHEST OF DRAWERS - the key word being "drawers". One of them not working defeats the purpose of having a chest of them. It should be called "Chest of drawer". Their solution - to send someone to fix it. Great. Fix the drawer of a brand new piece of furniture that was part of a fairly pricey bedroom set - that should have been delivered in pristine condition. Since I wasn't there to refuse the delivery (my husband accepted it) I resolved myself to this solution and we were told a service person would be there 2 days later - on a Saturday - to fix it. Except - let's remember we're dealing with the same company that thought delivering 2 pieces of a table wrapped in tight packaging was a good idea. Sure enough - we got a phone call from customer service and it seems they had overbooked their service people for Saturday - so they had to reschedule. And they did - for today.
We went from being only mildly inconvenienced to me now having to use part of my work day, AGAIN, to deal with problems we had NOTHING to do with creating. I was supposed to get a call between 12:30 and 2:30 with a 30 minute warning so I could drive home and meet the service guy there. That time has come and gone with ZERO contact from anyone. I sat here through my lunch, waiting for the phone call, so I would minimize the impact on my work day. However, since he didn't call (and I waited until 3pm before finally reconciling myself to the fact that there WOULD be no call) I didn't end up having lunch since I was going to grab something at home. I could keep going (believe it or not - there's more) but I think you all get the point.
I sent a second email to my buddy Peter last week - but this time all I heard was crickets - and after today I am on a personal campaign to drive as many people away from Macy's as humanly possible. My next venture is a YouTube video I intend to make, which is me singing along to a Karaoke version of "Don't Stop Believing" with the lyrics rewritten. It will be called "Don't Shop at Macy's". If I were Macy's I'd give you a date and then cancel it several times - but I'm not so I'll just say stay tuned.

Are you Chinese? Does your name look Chinese in any way? If so good luck ordering from Macy’s (or Bloomingdale's). Just ask the growing long list of Chinese customers who can never place an order from Macy's or Bloomingdale's. Has this happened to people of other races? Maybe. Not on the scale it has happened to Chinese people. I try not to be bias, but the story below has happened to almost every Chinese person I spoke with (most even have a Macy’s or Bloomingdale's card). Thankfully we have a white friend that can order all day long. Thank you friend, for being white. We never have had this problem at Nordstrom, or Saks, or even other low end retailers like Wal-Mart or Chuck-E-Cheese.
Macy’s however will gladly take my money, send the item to me, and then intercept the delivery and return it without reason. There is a horrible 866 number you can call which is Macy's consumer fraud protection. This number is about as useful as a Chocolate Teapot. Call them and they will tell you that they have given all of your information to a third party company that handles their claims. Great, now all of my information is handed over to a company that I wanted nothing to do with to begin with. They will tell you that they cannot let you know why you are blocked, just that you can never order from Macy's or Bloomingdale's ever again. You can purchase in store but that is it.
Sounds reasonable. Until you go to the store and place an order only to find out the order is canceled and the money will be refunded back to your card in about 5 business days. The only thing you can do is purchase items directly in the store. If the store is sold out and they need to order, the Sales Associate will gladly place the order for you. Then once it is all placed and you swipe your card, the order is canceled and refers you to the same useless 866 number. Call them to hear the same wish-wash, flummery and bombast. The grumpy lady on the other side of the phone will gladly treat you like you are trash and some sort of criminal. You can't purchase from us. We won't tell you why. Have a good day!
They even went as far as to block an associate who works for their company. She can no longer purchase anything and... guess what... she is Chinese! Add her to the list of Chinese people about 50+ (that I know of) that have been blocked. This is an abridged version of an almost year long spat with this terrible company. Bottom line is... If you are Chinese and want to order something from Macys.com or Bloomingdales.com... Don't waste your time. It will get canceled and you will spend on hour on the phone to get nothing in return. Your best solution is to get a white friend. Good luck!

I received my first statement in early October! With late fee of $25 and interest of $4.99!! When I called the number on the statement instead of greetings from the representative she said, "The purpose of this call is to collect debt....!!" It took me couple of calls and dealing with rude, uncourteous customer service till they got my mailing address corrected and get the unreasonable charges credited! Their attitude is too offensive that it seems they are expecting calls with complaints about fees and made me to believe that Macy's purposely delays statements to have reasons to charge fees!

I live in Canada, about a 30 minute drive from the border of Washington State. In late June, I went to a conference in Seattle. It was unexpectedly cool there and because the hotel was half a block from Macy's, I dropped in and bought a package of five pairs of socks for approximately $17.00. Foolishly, I used my Macy's credit card (only for the second time, ever and definitely the last). In late July, I got a statement from Macy's with the correct amount billed. As I was about to leave for Toronto, I decided to write a cheque and mail my payment from there. (Their home address is Mason, OH, a long way from where I live in B.C.)
Evidently, the payment did not arrive in time to meet the closing date, but it can have been only a day or two late (the cheque was cashed on August 26). Back in BC, I then received a September statement from Macy's showing a total of $35.00. A portion of this was for the socks ($17.00), the rest was a late penalty ($19.00). Annoyed as I was by a late penalty of more than 100% for at most a few days lateness, I drove down to Bellingham and paid the balance in person. It amounted to $24.00. (By this time the payment I had made by mail from Toronto had got through to their computers.) Okay, all clear. Paid in person, in full, on time... But no! In early October, I received another statement from Macy's. I owe them $2.00 in "revolving interest" charges.
So now I am really irked. I found a picture of a ravenous shark, I pasted the little red Macy's star to its chest, I drew a thought-bubble over the shark's head saying "I wonder how I can squeeze more blood out of unwary Canadian customers..." and I mailed the page--and a cheque for $2.50 (Canadian dollars) and a cut up credit card to their rotten headquarters. It won't arrive late because this time I paid for expedited delivery. And I will NEVER shop at Macy's again.

My husband and I drove to Kansas City (10/2/14) to find a Macy's (and a Nordstrom and a Dillard's). We rolled our eyes at each other in Macy's, as it's typically so difficult to find a clerk for help. I wanted a bread pan and couldn't find one, couldn't find any help, so gave up. But, unfortunately, my husband found a sweatshirt while I was in the homemaking department. We rounded up a clerk who checked us out while joking around with another clerk. He didn't greet us or thank us for our order. He simply rang up the sweatshirt and stuck it into a bag and handed it to my husband, all the while teasing his coworker about some returned item. Hours later, we discovered that he hadn't taken off the hard tag -- that security thing that has ink in it. Second time that's happened to us at Macy's. But who would even imagine one of those on a $40 sweatshirt? Now we are supposed to travel back to Kansas City to get someone to take this tag off (we've tried local stores and their systems don't match the Macy's detagger). We are so done with the sloppy service at Macy's.

I am living abroad for a period of time for my husband's work. I ordered some items online from Macy's on Sept. 27, 2014. I ordered the items to be shipped to a third-party shipper with whom I have a contract because they have excellent package delivery rates. Immediately, I received an email from Macy's, stating my order was cancelled and to call customer service. I called customer service (paying the international fee and getting stuck on hold forever - I will pass over the non-pertinent details of the initial representative's ineptitude). Having been granted the pleasure of finally speaking to a manager, one "Chuck," I was informed that Macy's would not permit me to send my order to this reshipper's address because their system had the address flagged as a potential "reseller".
I am not interested in reselling, mind you. I just want my kid's Halloween costume. "Chuck" said I have to use BorderFree. I asked where this policy is written. "Nowhere," he replied. Can I have it in writing, please? No. Macy's does not put corporate policies in writing (His exact words). "So this is your policy, but you don't want anyone else to know it's your policy?" I asked. "Yes." These are verbatim quotes.
I was dumbfounded. I am angry at never being told about this policy. I am angry about its alleged existence which would not be confirmed except verbally by "Chuck". I am angry about being told how to ship things by "Chuck" or Macy's or whoever, and angry that I am being given information which may or may not be true, will not be put in writing and is based on a suspicion that I am reselling items. Which I am most certainly not.

I've been a Macy's card holder for seven years, three years I worked for Macy's as well during the holiday season. Due to a Retinal Disease, which I was diagnosed at age 16, I was unable to work and two years ago was put on Permanent Disability. My income went from six figures to $22,000, a substantial loss of income caused serious financial hardship for me, especially as a single mother of two girls. Macy's has always been my first choice in department stores for years, even prior to having a credit card issued from Macy's Financial. My credit history has never been derogatory in regards to my Macy's account. Payments on my account are not only kept current each month, but have been paid above and beyond the balance in full each month. I've specifically paid more money each month, several months per year, over the last seven years, to ensure there would be available credit when needed.
Today, I was shopping and my card was declined. I paid $150 of a $300 balance only to learn Macy's reduced my limit to $200 due to reporting by outside creditors. This is completely unfair and I'm being mistreated because of other financial obligation, that have suffered due to circumstances beyond my control. I'm now aggressively pursuing retinal transplant options as my condition rapidly decreased within this year, leaving me with 10% of my vision. Unfortunately, I'm not only dealing with the reality of going blind, I'm punished by a Corporation/Financial Lender preventing me from purchasing gifts and necessities for my daughters and now grandson, from a store that I love and have been a LOYAL customer to for 25 years.
I felt compelled to let other consumers know how I've been discriminated against and disregarded as a continuous paying customer with my Macy's Credit Card. The lack of loyalty and personal customer service touch is insulting. Ironically Macy's has implemented the Personal Shopping Experience within the last year. Macy's is guilty of misrepresentation because all the Corporation is concerned with is revenue and bottom line numbers, not the customers, especially not on an individual and personal level. Very Sad.

Today at 1:09 PM: In August, I ordered 6 suits for my groomsmen for my wedding that was to take place in few weeks. Macy's had the best style and prices for suits, so I did not hesitate to order. After being given a delivery date 2 weeks out, I received an email from them saying that my order has been delayed and a new shipping date is in effect, another week out. When the new shipping date approached, I received another email stating that my suits are in back order. I called and talked to a customer service rep, and was made to choose another style, as my previous order was "indefinitely in back order". The customer service rep was kind, and helpful in honoring my original purchase price and waiving the cost for an express next day shipping. I waited and nothing showed up in about 3 days, so I called again to find out about the status.
To my surprise, I was told that there was no record of me talking to their rep and getting my order replaced and shipped. I was stunned. After about 45 minutes of researching, the rep apologized and then tried to get rid of me by telling me that it is best for me to go to a Macy's store and re-order the items. I asked to speak to a manager after telling him that this is unacceptable. The customer service manager was again, kind and understanding. She worked with me to yet place another order of a yet another style that was available. She lowered the price again to bring it close to the original price, even though it came out to be still $120 more than my original purchase. I thanked her and hang up after being told that the order will be shipped, express, next day, and that I will receive it the day after. She repeated several times that they were again waiving the express shipment fee as a convenience and to sort of make up for the bad service thus far.
In 2 days, I received a shipping confirmation email, but the item was obviously not shipped via express, since the arrival time showed a day shy of a week. To my horror, I also noticed that the address used to ship the package was wrong. The zip code they entered was transposed so as to make the city completely off. Fortunately the package was still in transit, so they corrected the zip call after sending an email to their customer service. In my opinion, it is sad that a company the size of Macy's can make so many mistakes on one order. This is too bad, because their large presence in US, the good prices they have for online items, and the ability for customers to return items back at stores, gives them an edge over other online stores such as Amazon. But after the experience I have with them on this one order, I would highly hesitate to use their online service again.

When I looked for the check much later that year I could not find it and therefore, I thought I had lost it. Rumbling through papers this year 2014, I found the check. It did not have an expiration date on it, so I called Macy's customer service dept, to see if I could still cash the check or will they need to reissue me a new one. They told me to take it to my bank and if they won't cash it, call them back and they will reissue me a new one. I took it to my bank and they said, although the check is still good, their system would reject it because of the date.
I immediately called Macy's back as instructed. They have been giving me the run around about reissuing me another check. One representative looked in the system and saw the check I was referring to - they cancelled the check after I told them my bank would not cash it because of the date. Although, the check was still good. I called a month later and another representative was so nasty. She told me she was going to investigate and if she can't find a good reason why the check was issued to me the prior year, she was going to make sure I did not receive another check.

So, I called the department and I was asked to verify all of my personal info. The rep even tried to tell me I gave the wrong phone number. I regularly use my Macy's credit card and it was in good standing, so I have no clue as to why the order was canceled. I wasn't even given an explanation.
The rep assured me that she would replace my order and call me back. I waited by my phone and she never called back. A few hours later I saw an email that 2 new orders had been placed. I checked them and they were wrong. I had to call in and re-order an item she forgot on one order. On the other order, I had to call in and tell them the delivery address was wrong. They told me they couldn't fix the address because the order was already being processed. A week later, I received an urgent message that UPS couldn't finish the delivery because whatever address she entered was incorrect. I had to call in again to have it resolved. For every time I had to call, I waited 30 minutes or more.
After realizing I wanted to return some items, I called Macy's and asked if I would still have to make my payment due that month. The rep told me I could make the return and would not have to make the payment due, because the returned amount would take care of it. I followed what she said. A few weeks later I saw a late fee on my new statement. I called in to speak with a rep and they credited back my late fee. The rep apologized and said my account was in good standing and that I wouldn't have to make another payment. I asked her if she was positive. She said yes, and gave me her name and the location she worked at. Two weeks later, I checked my credit tracker and saw that my credit score dropped and I saw Macy's reported my account delinquent at 30 days past due. I have had my Macy's card for 7 years and I have ALWAYS made my payments. I am beyond frustrated with them and I am definitely disputing this.

I had a very troubling experience with an online purchase recently. I purchased a Casio G-Shock for $300. After inspecting the watch I noticed something not working correct. I took the watch to a physical store to exchange for another one. It was not in stock so it was reordered for a second home delivery. Once I received the second watch I immediately realized this second shipment included additional paperwork from Casio and the watch had much better factory direct packaging and wrapping.
It was obvious to me the first watch shipment was either a return or re-furbished watch that did not work the first time. I was shocked and felt cheated that Macy's had tried to sell me a returned or refurbished watch that I thought I was buying as brand new. My confidence in the Macy's store brand is now very much damaged. I cannot shop Macy's online anymore because I'm concerned about buying what I think to be new but maybe not.

Macy's Online is a place that NO one should ever shop from. I've been a good Macy's credit card customer and on 5 occasions, they have canceled orders multiple times because they say my billing address is not a residential address (it certainly is, LOOK it up), that my billing phone did not match my order (it did because it is listed in my profile), and that they would send a gift card to my daughter and they did not.
Then, another order got canceled because they said that some "online system" they accessed told me I really had a phone number ending in 4262. I told them I had never had a number ending in 4262, that the information I personally gave them in their system was correct, and that I had had the same phone number (NOT 4262) for 7 years. Each time, I spent over an hour with three different departments being bounced back and forth and them assuring me it was fixed - only to have multiple orders canceled after that.
Finally, after calling 6 different times, it seems to have been fixed. I placed orders elsewhere in the interim and I may just continue to shop elsewhere because I don't have time to play these games. My Visa, Discover, and Mastercard don't block and cancel important transactions because of silly things like this. Their online payment system is also a concern because it does NOT update even 10 days after I make a payment - so it looks as if I still have a payment due.
I've read online that a number of other people have had problems with this as well. Worst customer service ever. There are too many competitors with GREAT customer service who don't just cancel orders on very good customers just for fun. Never again.

My wedding registry items were purchased and shipped directly to my home address without giving an option to have the buyers (guests) ship the purchase to their own address. Once I received their packages, I wasn't able to figure out who they were from. I had to find out from my 40 guests that were coming to my shower, or I had to open the gifts myself in order to figure out who purchased them, then either ship them back to their own address or drop them off myself so that they could bring them to my bridal shower.
Problem 2: when gifts were shipped automatically by Macy's to my address and the buyer realized it after the purchase was made, and in delivery, they cancelled the purchase, and had to have it resent to their homes. A few days later I receive their statement via email, with their account info, purchase info. And total of the purchase. I contacted Macy's, furious as I can be since this is supposed to be a surprise and ask them to delete my address and email and they deny my request. Obviously if someone wants something shipped, the site asks you for an address. Why does Macy's need my address and have it set up as an automatic option. Macy's couldn't do anything for me. This was the last thing I thought I would be most angry about my wedding planning. My Advice: if you register at Macy's, have your guests go to the store. Do not purchase ONLINE!

I shopped at Macy's on May 17, 2014. Purchased several clothing items, at which time, the sales associate said my Macy's card hadn't been used in such a long time it had closed so offered to open a new account for me. I agreed. I charged all the clothes onto my new account. Then went and bought makeup and skincare. Also charged it on the new account. Sales person encouraged me to buy everything that day because of the "discount" I would get for opening a new account. I spent $358.51. On June 1, I returned all the makeup and skincare, as it did not agree with my skin type. I got a receipt for the full credit of $358.51. Then received a statement for period ending June 18, 2014 showing they only credited my account $304.73.... leaving a balance of $53.78.
I called to inquire about it and was assured this would be taken care of, they would credit the $53.78 back to my account which would give me a 0 balance. So I felt great. Then received statement last night (July 24, 2014) showing I still owed the $53.78 PLUS late fee of $25 PLUS interest of $2.00! I called to straighten this out. I was told there was no record of my July 14 phone call wherein the customer service rep agreed to credit my account and that I still owed this amount plus the late fee and interest charges. I have spoken and had a live chat with Macy's and they refuse to credit my account. Their reason is that I got a special discount when I made the cosmetics purchase and since I returned the items I had to pay the discount back!! I have never heard of anything so ridiculous in my life and I will NEVER shop Macy's again.

Every time I have *any* interaction with Macy's online, there is a time-consuming series of absurd screw-ups. Orders are lost, cancelled, misfilled, unclearly or deceptively presented by Macy's; then it takes hours by phone to sort out the simplest of these problems CAUSED BY MACY'S. It is as if I WORK for Macy's! The reps themselves are typically very pleasant, or at least not rude, but they are clearly laboring under a massively dysfunctional system that cannot survive in the present market environment.
Zappos, Amazon, and other companies *never* cause *any* such problems; they out-service, out-price, and "out-efficiency" Macy's at every turn. The only other company with which I've seen this kind of problem is Lancome, which now outsources all of its customer service to some company in Texas, with similarly disastrous results. In the past, my family has spent thousands of dollars a year at Macy's. In the future, they will lose all that business from us. Karma, Macy's. You reap what you sow. Wake up.

I ordered a sectional sofa over the phone and spent over 4 hours on the phone just trying to make sure I purchased the correct one (what side would be longer). No one knew what they were talking about and every rep I talked to encouraged me to change my order, which I did twice. This was infuriating but was finally resolved and customer service was very accommodating. The day my couch was scheduled to be delivered, the delivery man told me it would not fit in the elevator, cancelled the delivery, and left without ever removing it from his truck. He wouldn't even wait while I called customer service (who told me they do in fact go upstairs). They couldn't get the guy to come back because he wouldn't answer his phone and basically said there was nothing that can be done for 48 hrs. I am now without any furniture. This whole process has been a nightmare. I will NEVER buy furniture from here again and discourage anyone else from doing so. I was trying to save money by shopping here but realized the extra money elsewhere would have saved me a lot of stress and wasted time.

I have had the worst experience with Macy's card services. If I could give a negative rating I would. I do not even know where to start. I have had a handful of bad experiences with Macy's card services and with each experience it ceases to amaze me how this company has loyal shoppers. I will never be shopping at Macy's again. Applying for the Macy's card was the worst decision of all my financial decisions. I have never had any problems with any of my other lines of credit (6).
I will share the experience that made me want to close my card: I got approved back in 2009 for I believe $1300. I close my card in 2014 with a limit of $200! I was pretty close to maxing out my card and I decided to pay it off in March. After I paid it off, a while later, I bought a few things. I had spent about $150. For my birthday in April, I went to go buy a Michael Kors purse and they told me my card was maxed out and I was late on my payment. I was in shock. I did not think I was going to receive a bill until the next month because I bought my other items close to my billing date and my card was paid off. Usually there is another 30 after your card is paid off and I never received a bill (Thankfully they waived the fee).
I was also in shock that they took my limit down $1000!! When I asked why, they said it's because I have had too many late charges and something was wrong with my credit score. My score was almost at 700 and I think I was late 3 times in the 5 years that I had my card. I ended up paying off my card and closing it due to principles.I ended up talking to a friend that works there and she said Macy's does that a lot. If you pay off your card, they lower your balance. I have shortened this story as much as I could. I hope it was enough to convince you to pay cash if you ever shop there. Better yet never shop at Macy's. They are shady and I cannot believe how many bad experiences I had with them. I wish I could write them all to convince anyone reading this not to go there but, it would be pages long. DO NOT GET THIS CARD!!

I received a bill in June 2014 from Macy's saying I was late paying my bill and that I owed interest and fees. I was I went through all of my bills and the last bill I received was in November of 2013 and it was paid in full. So I called Macy's Customer Service, and the first the rep does is announce that they will attempt collections and that my bill is overdue. I told her that yes that is why I was calling but I had some issues to dispute first. Then when I try to explain what I have experienced on my end, the customer service representative (CSR) tries to interrupt me and keeps talking over me. I explained that I hadn't received a bill and I was disputing any interest and fees on the account because of it. Then they told me I had signed up for check free, I assured them I had not.
The CSR keeps looking at my account on her screen and keeps telling me the account says I did. She continued to be combative, talking over me, not listening, etc. asked me if I was asking for a "courtesy removal of fees". I informed her that I disputed the terminology used and started to say but I was asking for their removal when she started in again and I simply asked for her manager. So the manager was much calmer but they still talk to you like you're naughty child. I was then asked if I had received any bills from MyCheckFree.com. I have never heard of mycheckfree.com before this. I don't know how this occurred. Ultimately the manager did remove the fees and interest but I'm upset that this occurred in the first place and extremely dissatisfied with the quality of the CSRs at Macy's.

Macy's was able to redeem themselves by going above and beyond for my best friend. They found a similar, but even more beautiful gown for her that they were able to alter quickly in time for her wedding. They also refunded the price of the bad alteration and didn't make her pay any more additional money. Nobody has the right to ruin a bride's wedding day, I'm very happy that Macy's feels the same way.

I am the maid of honor for a bride that purchased a wedding dress at Macy's. She is a young bride and had a very small budget for her wedding, but she found a gorgeous dress for a great price. She had a short dead-line and informed everyone there that her wedding would be in a month. She received the dress she ordered in her size in 5 days and was told the hemming alteration would take one week in total. She had to call in order to find out that her dress was finished a week later then she was told it would be finished. During the alteration she wore 3 inch heels that she was planning on wearing to her wedding. When she tried on her dress today, she noticed the dress was too short without any shoes on! It doesn't look right with the heels on.
The back of the dress is even shorter than the front, which was not the original design of the gown. Even wearing flats, you'll see too much of her feet, which makes her uncomfortable. Her wedding is in ONE WEEK.... They ruined a vital part of her wedding day! I can't believe that I could do a better hemming job than this "professional" they hired to ruin my best friend's wedding day!! I am so upset, she has to return her beautiful wedding shoes and won't confront anybody in their store. SHE LOVED HER DRESS BEFORE THEY RUINED IT! It was perfect, just two inches too long with the heels on; now it's four inches too short! How dare they ruin anybody's wedding!

I applied for a card at Christmas in order to receive an additional discount. I used the card once and paid it off when I received the bill. It's now June and they are still hounding me. It seems they applied my payment to the wrong account. When I received calls from their credit department, I contacted them and they said they were sorry for applying the payment to the wrong account. They promised to resolve everything immediately. Fast forward several months and I am getting more calls. I call them and they tell me I owe $89.
I explain I paid and they spend 20 minutes researching and come back and tell me that I owe $9.72 in interest for a late payment and they refuse to remove it. I asked to chat with a supervisor and was put on hold 10 more minutes. The representative comes back and says, "I spoke with my supervisor and they won't remove the interest charge." It was like talking to a wall. So I guess they will keep the $9.72 on my account and call me again when the late charges rack up again. I will never buy anything at Macy's again because of this experience. Horrible!!!!

I requested that the gift be sent to a specific address. My request was ignored and automatically went to the address that was in their system. Highly frustrating since this was a surprise gift for a shower and not even for the wedding. In addition, Macy's put a hold of the entire amount of the order ($176), and then placed a charge for $145 the next day which was part 1 of 2 going out. The remaining $30 will be again charged when part 2 goes out. The pre-authorized hold of $176 will be removed in 5 days. This is outrageous. My account will have $352 on hold to pay for an order of $176. In my opinion, this is fraudulent practice. I did not see any notice on their website alerting me to this practice, nor that the gift would automatically ship to the address on file. The customer service representative I spoke with indicated she receives this complaint frequently so I assume I am not alone in my frustration.

"debt". The questioning went from friendly to hostile when they stated they had cameras all over the store and knew everything I had ever done there, and I had better "think before you speak because there are all kinds of ways to steal from a company" etc.
In my fear And ignorance, I admitted to keeping a 20 bill I found in some trash, I found under a bed when fixing a bed rail. Also confessed to throwing out a child's hair Barrette when cleaning up the dept. I worked in the furniture department and one of my responsibilities was cleaning and straightening the department. After I divulged that information, they came to the REAL reason they had called me in. I was perceived as being late on a Macy's credit card payment. Had they read the notes attached to my statement, they would have seen that the situation was being dealt with.
In March of 2013, I decided to go "paperless" when paying my Macy's bill. I accidentally transposed a routing number or check number and the first payment was returned. I immediately called Macy's credit service to fix it. The service representative person assured me everything was corrected, not to worry. The reason I decided to go paperless is because I wanted my bill to be paid off each month. I did not want to keep a balance on a card of the place I worked at. In April, it happened again, so I again called Macy's customer service and they assured me the problem was corrected.
On May 8th, I could see they hadn't been able to fix the computer error so I called and told them, "you can fix this can you?" I told them to close my account, send me a paper bill by USPS and I would pay off the entire account. One of the loss prevention associates had my entire credit history with Macy's up on a computer monitor where he was scrutinizing my credit. In their zealousness to harass me about my account, they did not notice that up until March, I had a perfect payment record with Macy's. I bought hundreds of dollars worth of merchandise and normally paid the bill in full.
They continued to question me about, why I wasn't doing that now? Why was I still purchasing things when I was past due? This inquisition was very intimidating and insulting because I am not a debtor. My credit score is 789. To add insult to injury, they suggested that some people transpose their routing numbers on purpose, buy a lot of merchandise, cancel their credit card and Macy's is out many dollars. They considered that theft. Obviously, that was not my intention. They then suspended me, over the 20 bill and Barrette I threw away and marched me over to a cash register where I paid them back the 20 bill I found under the bed, And six dollars (it was agreed upon the value) for the child's Barrette.
On a separate transaction, I paid off the balance I believed to be what I owed Macy's. Not the minimum payment but the whole entire sum. I was suspended without pay and the following week terminated. I strongly believe this type of questioning over a late payment was an invasion of privacy. I was deceived into divulging information I should not have because Macy's loss prevention was not forthcoming about why I was summoned for their interview. They had nothing on me, no camera tapes of me doing anything wrong. For Macy's to use their loss prevention personnel as bill collectors is, in my opinion is wrong. I consider it comparable to extortion.
It should be noted I worked for another major retailer for 26 years with never an incident with loss prevention, left on excellent terms. My credit line at Macy's was 3,000 dollars so I was not maxed out. In retrospect, it seems to me if Macy's credit services wanted to collect payment why didn't they call me or email me? Another very disturbing question is, aren't bill collectors supposed to identify themselves upfront? Not ambush you with a lot of questions. In essence, Macy's was using their loss prevention people to interrogate me and because they did not tell me their intent when I was brought in. I being honest and frightened buckled gave them information I should not have and lost a job I truly loved. Macy's lost a valuable, experienced and respected (by her peers, not LP) employee. They also lost a very good customer. I believe this whole experience, shake done, was unjust, and my credit card history on lists prevention's computer screen a total invasion of my privacy.

Let me start by saying due to my experience yesterday I plan to never shop at Macy's online again. I will be posting my experience to various sites. I talked with a total of 6 or 7 people yesterday for over 3 hours only to be hung up on multiple times and put on hold for separate 45 minute spans. I initially called customer service to ask if I could change the size of some items I'd ordered that morning. I specifically asked the rep whom I spoke with would my card be charged again and she insisted that it wouldn't. Of course that wasn't the case at all and Macy's tries to process the almost $200 order again because of the changes and the charge was declined by my bank. The rep and I ended up calling my bank but eventually the bank rep hung up because the rep from Macy's kept arguing and yelling at me.
I finally got to speak with a supervisor after being on the phone for over an hour and 15 mins who assured me he would call back at a certain time, but I never received a call. To make a long story short I ended up speaking with 4 more reps two of which hung up and another who put me on hold for over 45 minutes. After about my 5th call insisted that I speak with a supervisor or manager but was repeatedly told, "let me try and help with your problem," when clearly the issue was out of a rep's control by now. Every one of the reps gave me a different story as to what was going on with my order. Some said all of it was canceled, some said just the shorts were cancelled. Some just couldn't give me an answer and flat out stated they didn't know.
As of now I still don't know what is happening with my order and cannot use the $200 as it is being held for an authorization charge for an order that I may or may not receive. Never in my life have I felt so insignificant and insulted. For a big company such as Macy's I'd expect wayyyy better customer service. Again I will be posting my experience to various sites and encourage others to avoid Macys.com.
