I've been a Macy's credit card holder and customer (formally Marshall Fields) for years now. I bought a $15 cosmetic item and while Macy's sent me a bill, I don't remember seeing anything charged. In hindsight, it was so nominal, it was an oversight on my part. They began stalking me with collection service phone calls 2-3 times daily and filed negative credit reports and then refused to pull them when I paid the bill after being notified. I guess my $15 mistake was worth it to them. So I cancelled my card. I've paid my bill on time for years. Last fall I had an $82 credit balance on that same card. I never stalked them. I assumed I would eventually buy something. What is wrong with this company? They spent more on collections than the $15 charge was worth. Now? They lost a customer. Good riddance.

A usually very disappointing experience. I placed an order ** two weeks ago when your site assured guaranteed delivery before the 11th of April for Mother's Day. I was visiting the US and my flight was on Monday, the 12th, and therefore the Mother's Day guarantee by 11th worked perfectly for me. Before I placed the order, I called Macy's to confirm that it will be delivered by that date and they assured me. The same product was available on Amazon.com for a better price and had free 2 day shipping but since I have been a Macy's customer for so long, I had trust in you and insisted to order it from Macy's.
After placing the order by a day or two I check the status and it shows to be delivered by end of day, Monday 12th (which wasn't what you guaranteed). So I spoke to Macy's agent and mentioned my doubts and I was told that don't worry too much about what it says online because we have an agreement with UPS for all packages to be delivered on or before May 11. As I expected, this didn't happen unfortunately which is very disappointing.
On Sunday, the 11 (which was supposed to be the latest date for delivery), I called Macy's and told them that I didn't get what I was assured and guaranteed and that my flight is tomorrow and I haven't received my package yet. They apologized and offered me to refund and return the package, which in my opinion is a very bad consolation process since my issue isn't the refund. My issue was I trusted and preferred Macy's to buy a gift watch for my sister's graduation so I can take it along when I leave the US (Monday) and this hasn't happened.
So due to that I hadn't received the product neither from you nor from Amazon.com that I refused to order it from since I'm a loyal Macy's customer, I am very disappointed. After that it was suggested that if I can pick up the package from UPS myself if time will allow on Monday morning before my flight since packages usually can deliver up to 7 at night. The Macy's agent offered me a 50 dollar Macy's gift card that she said she will send in 7-10 days, while hoping that I will pick up the package myself from UPS.
Unfortunately again this couldn't happen since by the time UPS contacted me on Monday that I can come pick up the package, it was too late for me since my flight was in a couple hours, and the UPS center was a 30-minute drive each way which would have resulted in me missing my flight for something I am not responsible for. After being frustrated and annoyed with the situation, I asked UPS to redeliver the package to the hotel I was staying at, and will ask a friend of mine to pick up the package and mail it to me to Canada where I reside.
This is a miserable experience because I was on vacation to relax and enjoy my time and not to be always worried about when my package will arrive if it will arrive. I was visiting and therefore all these calls between me and Macy's and UPS were all considered long distance for me and therefore I was billed for all this plus now since you didn't deliver my package through the deadline you guaranteed and assured although I made my concerns clear to your agents a couple times, I will have to pay my friend to mail the package to me to Canada.
My honest opinion - this is ridiculous considering the frustration, worry, long distance charges and now international mailing fees and being home with my family not having the gift I promised my sister. I am extremely disappointed especially with the consolation and compensation methods. You really think all this hectic and frustration and money I paid and will pay trying to fix your mistake is just worth a 50-dollar gift card??? I really wish I had never placed the order in the first place off Macy's and should have made a wiser decision to go for Amazon... Lesson learnt...

I have sent no less than nine emails over the last month to Macy's about a $17.45 return postage amount that I was told would be credited to my account. Macy's Customer Service has responded but with no real solution. First, they told me the amount would be credited. Then said it couldn't be but I would be issued a gift card. I wrote after several weeks that the card had not arrived to be told they would cancel and ask the warehouse to issue another. Then I got the original card in the mail the same day and I got their response. They told me I could use the original since the warehouse had not shipped the replacement. Then I tried to use the card and of course it wouldn't work. They told me to call customer service. The situation is I live outside the U.S. The damaged merchandise received cost $22. I told them I would send them a photo of the item received and return it to Macy's when I would be back in the country but it would be several months. I felt it would be more expedient for them just to credit the item because the postage to return would cost nearly as much. To date, there is no resolution. The amount of postage and time spent to have people respond without resolution is costing more money than the item is worth. So angry - even though relatively small amount their practice is ridiculous!

I had a small balance on my credit account and they claim they emailed me three emails stating balance overdue. They then sent the Credit bureaus that I was in default. When I brought it to their attention, they claim they have a proprietary software which tells them when someone opens their emails. They can't prove it to me because they claim it would divulge this software and would not remove the claim from my Credit report even though I paid in full including penalties!

I had a really bad online shopping experience with Macy's. I ordered a Michael Kors dress online on March 22, 2014. It says in stock and ship within 2 days. On March 28, I emailed the customer service to check why my order hasn't ship. A customer service representative replied and said my order will ship within 2 days. On April 05, 2014, I contacted the customer service again; ask them why my order hasn't ship. The customer representative said my order will be delivered soon by Borderfree. On April 09, 2014, I contacted customer service; ask them why my order has not been shipped. They replied, "Since your order didn't ship out from Borderfree, please respond to this email if you would like the item to be reshipped or for the item to be credited."
I replied, said I wanted to cancel my order. But 5 hours after I sent the email, I got another email - said they cannot cancel my order since my order has been shipped. Soon after receive this email, I got an email from Borderfree - said my order has been shipped and provided me the tracking number. That was fine with me since I really like the dress. I received the item on April 14, 2014. It was a black top, have someone's hair on it rather than a dress so I contacted the customer service on April 14, 2014. They provided me a return authorization and DHL return label.
April 15, In the morning, I was just about to courier the incorrect item to Macy's. Then I got an email from the Borderfree said my return authorization has been cancelled by Macy's. But I did not receive any email from Macy's explaining to me or notifying me my return authorization has been cancelled. I contacted customer service again. They told me to wait. I have been really patient with Macy's so far. This is really bad. I will not shop in Macy's again if this issue will not be resolved.

We bought a stearns and foster mattress at about 3 months. I had hip surgery. After the hip surgery I had to sleep on my back for 3 weeks. When sleeping on my back I didn't move, this created a pocket where I laid. When I was able to lay on my side It would bother my hip to lay in this pocket. I could lay on the floor on my side and would be fine. So anyhow I moved into the spare bedroom and slept there for the next 8 months. I thought that when the hip healed I would be able to use it. Finally the wife and I decide decided we were going to have to get a new mattress. We went out shopping and made a deposit on one. At the last minute I canceled it and contacted Macy's in Boise Idaho. My wife said I was wasting my time. But the department manager was wonderful she helped me through it and not only was I able to pick out a new mattress (I had to pay the Difference as we picked a more expensive model) but gave us $200 Macy's money because it took so long. Could not be happier.

I tried to call the Macy's near my home and no one answered the phone in multiple departments. I also called their "operators" and they would just transfer my call to invalid extensions. I couldn't believe it. Out Approximately 15 attempts later, I left a voicemail with their "customer service" department. I also sent an email to their “customer service” department as well. To date, I have not heard a word. Interesting thing is that I merely had a simple question to ask since I could not find my answer on their "website". I have been a cardholder with them for years and will be cancelling my account due to their lack of respect for their customers' concerns. I think it's a disgrace. There are plenty of other retailers out there in which I will patronize.

On March 30, I placed a order off my sister's wedding registry for $222. I filled out my address for shipping. They sent it to my sister's home by accident. They did not tell me an item was on back order at checkout. Instead they emailed my sister and not me, that I was the one that ordered the item and it was on back order. They received payment for $185 for the products that shipped. 5 days later, they charged my account again for $222 (by accident)...resulting in overdrawing my account. I called to resolve all these issues and the reps on the phone were very rude, very dismissive and blaming me and my bank for everything. I have come to find out they have shipped other guests' orders to my sister by accident.
My mother placed a large order off this registry. They shipped it to my sister by accident also and put the wrong products in the box. They have made this experience a nightmare for us as well as for my sister (the bride). I do not recommend anyone do a wedding registry with Macy's. They have ruined the whole experience for my sister and have taken out the fun and excitement for us. We are all very dissatisfied.

I saw a similar review somewhere here - nonetheless: I tried placing an order for a sale item with my US credit card with my friends' PO BOX as a shipping address, while being outside of the US. The order got cancelled three times (I tried replacing it - with my credit card, with my friend's credit card, same stuff). When I called Consumer Protection department, I was first told this is a fraud case and I would not be able to place orders on my account anymore. I asked for a supervisor and he explained that the system is blocking the combination of billing and shipping address and that somebody would have to review this case which takes for up to 3-4 days. Obviously the sales is over at this time, and item might even be sold out and the worst thing - a store is dictating me where to ship my purchase. That is nonsense.

I had a very frustrating and unsatisfactory experience with the Macy's credit card customer service. I waited a month just to be calm and have the correct perspective and then I composed a letter to the CEO of Macy's. If you write about your bad experience with calm and constructive criticism, it will always give the company or person the chance to correct, apologize and address your issues. THAT is exactly how Macy's handled my letter. I was contacted by phone, a woman spoke to me with respect and appreciation and was grateful to have the information to correct the area that needed improvement. What more could a customer want? I can shop wherever I want but after the attention paid to my concern, I will continue to enjoy shopping Macy's!

I bought two mattresses and they give me the day of delivery and 2 hours window from 2:30 to 4:30 pm, it was really hard for me to attend this window but I decided to lose work hours to do it. During the "window" hours passed and no sign of delivery, call twice Macy's and they gave me two different times which I asked for security on these hours and nothing. At 4:30 pm the end of the window time, just then the delivery driver called me to say that he was running late and if I can wait more time. Unacceptable!!
When I called Macy's again, because they never call me to solve the issue, they didn't offer me do it the next day but 4 days after, and not even give me first delivery of the day, they will call me the day before to let me know the window time, AGAIN!!! Never again with Macy's. They should re-call their delivery service, 5 star delivery, no way.

The dress was/is VERY, VERY FILTHY. Tears, Stains, Wrinkles, the ribbon torn at the very bottom, torn by the top of the hook and zipper, the tag is ripped. I will never know who packed this dress. CLEARLY they KNEW this dress was a return. This dress is not new. I called customer service and could not understand the customer service rep and had to call back just to get the correct information. I was first told I could not get the dress for the price I paid since it was on sale.
I called back and was able to get a clarification on my previous conversation. They said they shipped a new dress out and I will receive it on or before 3/14/14. If not it will be a waste of time as I need it for that night! This is my 1st purchase with Macys.com. I am not going to order with them again. Macy's dropped the ball on this first impression. As of now, the dress is trash as far as I am concerned. It looks like it has been in Walmart inside out on the floor! Step it up MACY'S!!

I have tried numerous times to place an order online outside of USA with help of Macy’s customer online service, but with US credit card and US shipping address. The order was placed successfully all 10 times or more only to have the customer protection department cancel it with explanation that the information given did not match my credit card. I called my credit card to inquire about the issues, but they had no trace of Macy’s even calling or trying to verify the information with them. When I called the customer protection department each time the order was cancelled, they told me the same excuse each time. The information given is not matching their record and they can't do anything.
I asked them to call my credit card with me online to verify the information. They weren't willing to, simply state “Come to the store; we will be more than glad to help.” But the merchandise is not available for STORE pick up and during the time most of the merchandise sold out on the website as well or I could not get the discounted pricing anymore. Again, with explanation “We apologize for the inconvenience, but the information you are providing is not matching our records.” CRAP. I was trying to reach someone else, a supervisor or someone with no success either. I am so frustrated, as they are not even willing to check the information. Whatever they have not sure where they are getting the information from!!! I tried 10 different cards, and each time was unsuccessful.

I returned merchandise and close the account as well. The reason was because I kept sending my payments on time. Still their billing department kept calling me why I have not sent the payment. The checks from the payment had cleared but they did not receive it on time. I made several call to customer service but every time was the same answer "We will take care of your issue." So far I am still waiting for my refund but it looks like I will never get it. Basically Macy's stole my money, even though I returned the merchandise. The only response I have gotten is that they close my account. I do not recommend anybody Macy's because my experience has been negative. Macy's customer service is very poor.

We purchased a winter coat at the end of December 2011, after Christmas, in their Christmas Sale, from Macy's. Original price for around/over $2000, and we purchased it for $700. Winter was almost 2-3 months after that, January, February and some of March. In 2012 Winter was very mild. However, after the 2 month, the coat got worn off, the sleeves and the button loops got old and worn off within those 2-3 months. Then because the one we bought was the last in that size, we thought it was better to wait till next year for the new ones come out. We also had to leave the country at that time, couldn't deal with it.
And when we came back in October we went to Macy's. Talked to the manager in that section where they sell the coats. He told us they don't have the same coats, but he can get our coat tailored FREE of charge. However, we were still hopeful that we could contact the manufacturer company (the tag had the name "Kathy Irleand" on the coat) directly and have our coat replaced, because there is no way for a coat worth $2000, even though we bought it for $700 which is still a lot of money, to be worn off within 3 months to the point that we couldn't wear it at all after that, because the button loops were completely ripped off and the sleeves looked so ugly. If we had it tailored at that moment, then the manufacturer wouldn't exchange it. And Macy's said that they cannot exchange it, but have their tailor repair it (which would also not be a good option, because the sleeves would be left too short after that).
We went home and googled Kathy Ireland, tried to email them. No one got back to us till December. Then After the company received our email, Macy's called (most likely company contacted Macy's and asked them to solve our problem) and asked us to come down to Macy's and bring our coat. They said they will help us with our problem. We went to the section called TheFurVault, the manager was expecting us. He had us choose a coat we liked, because they didn't have the identical model, and we did find one coat we liked, but then they didn't have the size, he said he needs to order it.
Then a month later (which is now 2013) we went back after the right size arrived, but then the manager said that he cannot exchange this coat with the one we already have, he has to charge for this new coat. Of course, we didn't accept that, we were expecting either the manufacturer company or Macy's to take responsibility and have this coat replaced with the identical one or maybe another with the same value and same quality. Unfortunately, we had to refuse this manager's offer after he wasted our time with this nonsense and false information.
Now it was 2013 and we decided contact Better Business Bureau and file a complaint. We did. We had correspondences for next few months back and forth. Then as the result of this, the manufacturer company told them they are willing to replace our coat with a new one but they need to know the color and the size. Then we emailed BBB the size and the color of our coat along the actual photos. Then the company never got back to us, but BBB also closed the case stating that there was nothing else they could do after that point but only put a red flag on the public report for this manufacturer.
Since then we have been trying to reach out to the manufacturer company directly, emailed BBB few more times, but never got a response after we sent them the photos, color and size information. All this time, they wasted our time, we couldn't use the coat at all, had to purchase another coat from somewhere else for that winter (2012-2013). And finally last week, we decided to go back to Macy's and seek for their help. But the manager at The FurVault didn't seem helpful. She said that she doesn't know the original story started really, what if we wore this coat all this time since December 2011, now it is 2014, she cannot contact the manufacturer directly, she cannot give us any other contact info for us to contact the manufacturer, she can only have our coat tailored but she will have to charge for it, etc. Basically she said Macy's won't take any responsibility or any action regarding this matter.
Now, we are still seeking for our issue to be resolved. It is not a $50 coat. Right now Macy's actually still have the same line in their store, the actual ones, same color, same model, and they have the price tags on them for almost $3,000. With the sale going on at the store, they still come down to $600-$700 which is still a lot of money for us to tolerate what has been going on and not to be able to wear the coat more than first 3 months of 2012.
The only detail we realized is that this time these coats do not have the name tag of the manufacturer. Even though they didn't seem like willing to expose the truth, it seemed like these coats might actually be Macy's own product. I asked the manager directly if these coats actually being manufactured by Macy's itself, and she (with attitude of hiding something) said "Maybe, it is possible", as if she had no idea about who is the actual manufacturer for the products she said she has been selling for years in their store, and this woman is one of the managers in that fur department.
Now we don't know what to do and we are seeking for some professional help from Macy's. All we asked for was replacing the item with a new one, or at least give us the store credit for the amount we purchased it. We are not even asking for our money back which would be the most proper action actually at this point. Neither of these actions should be that difficult taking 2 years. Macy's is a big corporation, i just cannot see something small like this issue taking so long and Macy's cannot take any responsibility for the default of a product they are selling, stay so irresponsive.
Please, if you can help with any ways, we will really appreciate it, but even if you cannot, please at least suggest us what to do, or if there is any other department we should be talking to, please let us know instead of not responding at all. We just don't want either the actual manufacturer (whoever it is) or Macy's get away with this fraud. Macy's has a lot of bad public reputation, and now we see that there is a solid reason for them to have all those negative bad public reputation, and I believe they have to take some responsibility for their lousy customer service. So maybe if enough people complain about Macy's irresponsibility and arrogance, Macy's might realize that there must be some changes to be made. Thank you for all your help and support in advance!

On 2/10/14, I placed an order using my Macy's credit card, and a Macy's gift card my daughter had received at Christmas from her in-laws. It was for $50.00, and she wanted to buy a pair of shoes. She had placed the order herself online with no problem, but within minutes, Macy's cancelled it! After contacting the 800 number listed, a Macy's rep. told her that it was her debit card? It was not her debit card as the bank had just issued it?!

She didn't want to bother until she had time to go to the store herself and look further into the matter.
I told her that I would place the order for her using my Macy's credit card, plus the gift card, and my order was cancelled also! There is no explanation from Macy's that makes sense? My daughter, and I both don't understand, as she has the validated receipt with the gift card number showing where it was bought and the value of $50.00? They will tell you nothing except to wait for a call back within 72 hours, as the matter was under review. Under review for what? It's nonsensical at this point.
Hence, part two: 2/12/14, I decided to place the order anyway (as a surprise Valentine's Day gift to her) using just my Macy's credit card, and within minutes, they cancelled my order again? I contacted them and received an explanation, "We don't know why, no information is provided?" It must be something within your account that is not set-up correctly?" " But, your account is valid, and the gift card from the prior order was valid also." Huh? And, yet it's under review>>> What? I inquired if the rep knew how ridiculous all of it sounded? I've placed many, many orders online, and now since trying to help my daughter use a Macy's gift card, I can't place an order at all with the same information on my account that hasn't changed! I'm waiting for the call back and needless to say, I'm not happy! I've not received an explanation that makes sense, and I'm furious!

Macy's pulled my credit for an identity thief which is a thousand dollar violation of my credit rights. They took the application online, so never asked the online thief to give them a driver’s license. This happened to my father in law also, but they actually opened an account for the thief in his case. He was too old to fight them. I took them to court & they fought me every inch, never taking responsibility for not securing people's identity asking for a driver’s license #. That lone action would have stopped both thefts of identity. The judge actually said this to Macy's in court, "Corporations have a conscious." So I lose & they still take online credit without verifying people's identity. I can't stand their commercials. I have no respect for a company who to me showed no consciousness of their actions.

Little by little they are eroding the good name and their stellar reputation, pains me as a very long time patron of this store, but this is so long, fools...

Their customer service is an absolute joke. I called to have a price adjustment for an item I purchased that went on-sale one day after I purchased it. The customer service said I would see a credit to my account within 5-7 business days. Seven business days later and still nothing so I called to see what was going on. They said there is nothing they can do for me since the sale is over, and I would not be receiving the credit I was promised. Nice Macy's... I will be packing up my order and sending it back to you. I am a long time shopper and will shop elsewhere and close my Macy's card. Their customer service and whole demeanor has really gone downhill.

October/2013 my boyfriend and I purchased a mattress from Macy's. We purchased the Macy’s Bed Pillow Top firm mattress (just the mattress not the box spring). We spent $336.42 (including tax and delivery). About a week or 2 after we used the mattress we noticed that the pillow top on one side was inflating. I immediately contacted Macy's and they sent a replacement at no extra cost. At the same time, I made sure to ask the customer service representative if this was a recurring problem in this particular mattress and if it was I was willing to pay extra for a different/better quality mattress. She assured me that this has never happened before. Giving her the benefit of the doubt I accepted the replacement.
A few days later after the replacement arrived the same exact problem occurred. Once again I called Macy's - this time angrier. The customer service person told me that because this is happening for the second time they cannot take any actions until they send a tech person to see the mattress in person. The soonest time they were able to send someone was 3 weeks later.
Fast forward to today, January 11, 2014. The technician came today and saw the mattress. As per his report, "the mattress was separating from the pillow top on the right side, causing an inflation." Thinking that I was proven right, Macy's would upgrade me to a better mattress at no cost. WRONG. The customer service rep was extremely nasty on the phone and would not do anything to make this situation right. My only options was to replace this mattress for the same exact one or get a full refund.
Fed up we went to Sleepy's to see what other mattresses were out there. We ended up purchasing a much better Posturepedic mattress from Sleepy's for $100 more. We then called up Macy's again to pick-up their crappy mattress and refund my money. Once again we got terrible customer service and the supervisor claimed he was unable to pick the mattress the following day or able to give me a pick time for during the week after 5pm. We both work and there was no way we were going to take another day off for Macy's. After more arguing we got another supervisor on the line who was able to scheduled pick up for after 5 this week. Macy's has the worst customer service. Stay away!!!!

I opened a credit account at a store in August, GA by the end of November 2013. As of January 10, 2014, I have not received a statement and was concerned about my credit being affected. I called their customer number 877-493-9207. It had me on hold for about 15 minutes. The call was answered by what it sound like a foreign person (probably India) and could not understand that I do not have an account number and have not received a statement (ever). I suggested her to search by my Social Security number. Finally, she found the account and proceeded with the usual confirmation, asking me all kind of questions.
After she was satisfied, I asked her to confirm my mailing address which seems to be correct. I asked her again why I was not getting statements and she just transferred me to a second person, probably in the U.S. The second person was very rude and wanted to start my conversation from scratch. Asking me why I called. I told her I was on the phone with someone else from her company and she said she did not know anything about it. I valued my life and time and was not willing to keep losing my time. It would be nice if Macy's uses American people to answer their customers' calls and with respect.

My wife and I received several hundred dollars worth of gift cards for our wedding in October 2013. We thought we would take the gift cards and purchase a nice coffee table. We picked one out and used all of the gift cards and paid the difference in cash. I had to go in store to do the purchase because trying to purchase over the phone was a totally different nightmare. So I schedule delivery of the table. The table is delivered and set up and after the delivery guys leave, I notice that there was a problem with the coffee table.
It has a lift top, but it did not close all the way on the left side of the table top. So, I called to get an exchange done and schedule another delivery. The replacement coffee table comes, and it has the exact same defect... The table top did not close all the way. The delivery guys tell me that they will put a request that an exchange be made and that before delivering the third coffee table that it would be inspected in their warehouse to make sure there are no problems. A couple of days pass by, no one has contacted me to set a date about delivering the THIRD replacement coffee table.
I had to call the Macy's customer service and explain the entire issue and I was assured over the phone that it was going to be inspected in the warehouse. So delivery day comes and when the delivery guys came... they had not inspected it. The table again had the same issue with the table top not closing properly. They did not even know there was an issue with the table. So they then spent the next hour in my house trying to fix the table... which they were not able to. At this point I was completely done and no longer wanted this coffee table or any coffee table from Macy's.
I called about returning this coffee table and explained the whole story to the customer service rep, Corrie. I explained to her that I no longer wanted this coffee table and did not wish to ever purchase anything from Macy's. She told me that even though I paid in gift cards and cash, I would be able to get a check cut for the entire amount paid for the table. I was skeptical but I asked her again to confirm that I understood correctly that I was to receive the entire amount back via check and NOT a Macy's gift card.
Also please keep in mind this entire time I am the one calling Macy's to check up and follow up on all of these returns/deliveries/exchanges/refunds, because not once has anyone from Macy's called to keep me updated on the status of anything when I was told that they would. So, the table was picked up from my house on January 2, 2014. Today is January 8, 2014... I did not hear back from Macy's at all. So, I call this morning to inquire about the status of my return and apparently it was already processed into their system two days ago, but of course I was not made aware of it because no one during this whole process delivered on what was promised. So the customer service rep today tells me that they will be giving me a gift card for the coffee table, which completely angered me because this completely contradicts what Customer Service Rep Corrie told me previously.
At this point I ask to speak to a supervisor, I believe her name is Laticia, who right from the beginning sounded annoyed that she even had to be speaking to me. I explained the entire situation to her and she basically told me the exact same story that I will be refunded the amount of the coffee table in a gift card and the portion that I paid in cash, she said that she would "try" to get that amount back to me. She said that she would call me back, which I did not have faith would happen based on my experience with everyone else I have dealt with up to this point. She responded by saying, "I have not failed you yet, so give me the opportunity...", I said, "Fair enough".
It has yet to be seen if she will call back. Although I expressed to her the reason I did NOT want a Macy's gift card because I no longer wish to ever purchase anything from Macy's... she the responded... "If you don't want to use it, then you can give it to someone who wants it"... That was her solution. I found that to be completely Unhelpful. Why does Macy's have this reputation for being such a first class department store, yet this is how they treat their customers? I shared with Ms. Laticia, the supervisor, how her tone really made me feel as if I was an annoyance for her and that my calling was disturbing her day. I truly believe that Macy's has no idea what customer service truly is. They know all the right things to say, like "I'm sorry to hear that..." or "I understand you are unhappy...." but at the end of the day they do not help customers reach resolutions with problems.

I am a Macy's card holder with two accounts, one revolving store account and one major purchase account. The major purchase account is an account used for purchases of things like furniture, bedding, etc. My major purchase account has a higher balance than my revolving store account. I make my payments on time each month and usually more than the minimum required. Macy's has been applying majority of my payment to my store account and only the minimum to my major purchase account. For example, I recently made a payment of $200 (the minimum required on the revolving account was $25 and the minimum required on the major was $85). They applied only $85 to my major account and $115 to my revolving account. I notified them that I would like the excess payment to go to my major account since that is the account with the higher balance (significantly higher).
Both accounts accrue interest at the same rate but I am obviously paying more interest on the account with the larger balance. A person who called herself Kathy refused to make my payments as I requested. I then spoke to a supervisor David who informed me that Macy's is being forced to allocate the majority of my payments to the smaller account because of the DoddFranks amendment. Never have I heard of such a thing. I emailed customer service with my issue and requested the legal ground in writing that allows them to do this. I received a response that did not address my concerns at all. I am being bullied by Macy's so they can continue to add on the highest interest rate to my payments. I make my payments as required and should be able to make extra payments to my accounts as I desire.

I noticed a complaint from an individual and decided to "tell the story" from the perspective of a person who worked at Macy's as a sales associate... Yes, they pay very poorly... You are constantly under pressure to open charge accounts at least three per week or you receive a reprimand from management (The store manager receives a commission on all accounts opened - this is the case in all retail situations). The very evil aspect of this, that some unsuspecting person (who may not be able to read English or have a grasp of the high finance fees) will open an account not realizing if it is not paid each month in entirety the finance fee can easily be 26% of the remaining balance... This is the way many people dig their way into a financial dilemma.
The store is counting on this and receives a good deal of profit/re venue from simply the finance charges. During the course of the day, announcements are made over the loudspeaker that "employee Joe ** opened three accounts today... let's give him three cheers"... How "low rent"... Employees have been terminated due to the fact they have felt pressured and resorted to "less than honest" methods of opening charge accounts. Some will resort to finding homeless people and having them "open" an account ( not a violation), but they will use false information to create an account. The public is subjected to poorly paid staff that has a bad attitude due to less than wonderful working conditions (long and bizarre hours - Open at 6:00 A.M.- working until 12:00 P.M.- working 11 day "stretches")... Many customers are used to the fine treatment they received when the particular store was a "Mom and Pop" store "swallowed" by a Macy's "takeover". And now, it's all "downhill"...

One evening I purchased a pair of shoes near closing time and the clerks were helpful in processing a return in exchange for a pair of shoes. They were kind and considerate, looking to make a sale to a potential return customer and were smiling. Suddenly on the loud speaker for the entire store to hear a voice announced in an aggravated tone, "Okay, cashiers, you did a terrible job. That was horrible tonight. You can do better." The cashiers suddenly lost composure with their heads hung low. I returned to the store to return a gift that was given to me and on more than one occasion for this particular transaction they put the purchase amount back on the credit card that made the purchase. Meaning, if you buy someone a gift, and they try to exchange or return it, even without any personal info or you being present, they are crediting that purchase back to your credit card account. I need to warn you in advance of this practice especially if you are buying something for someone you care about and especially wanted to give a gift to. Your recipient will be left standing there with absolutely nothing, no store credit, and be left with NOTHING.
On a separate occasions there are many busy bodies on the floor working in retail for the store, and I wanted to finish my summary of my experiences by telling you that of all the times I have been there, not one person has helped with anything relating to size, brand, color match, location of an item, or anything at all. The last time I was there a store clerk dropped a shelf to hang one coat on it. Last but not least, have you ever noticed how kind and sincere the employees behave to one person, and how opposite (vicious and untrusting) they behave to another?

I have never been so upset with a credit card company. I have been a big customer of Macy's for many years; however, due to the way I was treated today, I am never shopping there again. I had called Macy's last week to inform them that I would be a few days late with my payment due to an error with my paycheck. They assured me that would be fine as I told them I would pay it as soon as my pay went into the bank. Mind you, I have had this card over five years and have never been late. I made the payment today and was told that the amount I owed was more than double my usual payment as "I missed a payment" and they made me feel like a total deadbeat.
I made this month's payment but told them I was not paying next months in advance as it was not due until next month and that I would pay it early or day it was due next month. After making this payment and asking how much credit I had available, I was informed by credit limit had been cut by more than 500.00 which only left 90.00 to use. So this is how they treat their supposed valued customers for one late payment that was only a few days late? They told me due to this missed payment, they ran credit and subsequently cut down and that if I wanted I could ask for another increase after my payment clears which would not be until next week. I am beyond upset as I wanted to use the card for Christmas. Has this happened to anyone else? I am curious as I am extremely upset and feel they treat their customers like crap. Angry in Worcester.

I read the similar cases here and will never use Macy's online. It tells me that their average customer base is not trustworthy. I placed the order on 11/28/2013, and received email about my order cancellation. When I called to find out the reason for cancellation, I was told that they couldn't identify the reason and needed to investigate further. Since I didn't receive any call from anyone, I called them back and get the status of the investigation. There is no record of the investigation. The second Customer Rep told me that their system didn't accept my information.
Again, I asked why that happened because I have never had any problems with Amazon.com, and others online. She kept telling me that the system didn't accept my information and if I want the same item, I need to go to the store for purchase. I kept requesting for the reason for my future reference. Then, the rep told me that they couldn't tell if I actually placed the order, perhaps someone else did, or I did it with someone else's information. How insulting is it? I will never go to Macy's.

I order online from Macy's year round. I placed an online order December 1. The order processed and I received an email confirmation. The next day I received an email that the order was cancelled and to contact the consumer protection department. Before I called, I called my credit card company to see if there was a problem with them and they assured me there was not. I called Macy's consumer protection department and when I finally got thru I was told they needed to verify I had placed the order. After a process of hanging up and them calling me back to verify I would answer the phone the order was reissued and I was told my order was randomly selected (about 2%) for order verification.
I accepted this and while a bit annoyed at the additional time spent on the phone thought a random verification was not a bad idea. However the next day I placed another order and exactly the same thing happened. Only this time it took over an hour to resolve. The consumer protection department had no specific reason to need to check the order and sent me back to customer service who had to rekey the entire order and by now some of the items were not available. I spoke to a supervisor who said he could only apologize for the inconvenience but had no idea why this happened. Both times my credit card was charged without issue at the time of purchase and then Macy's went back immediately and reversed the charge and cancelled the order without a valid reason. Frustrating, time consuming and unnecessary. Never again.

I am writing to complain about an experience I had at the Macy's in Santa Barbara at 701 State St., Santa Barbara, CA 93101 today, December 2, 2013. I went to buy a pair of boots that I had seen online and was told by an employee that they had the pair in stock and that I could come pick them up by 9pm today only. When I arrived at the Macy's I was given the boots by an employee and went to the register where I was told by the employee there who rang up the boots up that I was able to get the Buy 1 Get 1 Free deal. I then went to select a second pair of boots that I wanted and by the time I returned to the register (15 minutes later) the manager had appeared to inform me that I was not allowed to receive the Buy 1 Get 1 Free deal.
When I inquired as to why all of a sudden the deal was gone, he informed me that I was not allowed to receive the online deal in store. I then called the person that I was purchasing the boots for and they requested to speak to the manager. During this phone call, the manager stated that the deal did not appear on the register and therefore could not be received. When they asked him how it was that the employees were able to offer me the deal if it did not appear on the register, he went back on his initial statement and admitted that the deal had appeared on the register but that the employees were mistaken about the policy. I asked him once again to clarify how this was possible. He responded admitting that the online deals show up on the register but that I still could not receive them. When he was asked how it was that the other prices in the store conformed to all of the prices online he simply agreed that those happened to be a coincidence but that the specific deal that was offered to me upon arrival was incorrect.
As both I and the person I was on the phone with are very regular patron of Macy's with Macy's rewards cards, we are both extremely disappointed in the management at this location, or put more accurately the lack thereof. I have never been confronted with a situation in which an employee makes a promise to a customer only to have the manager turn around and not honor it based on seemingly muddled information. The manager repeatedly tried to state the facts of the situation but had to continually check back with the employee because he kept saying things that were not factually true in relation to the situation (such as claiming that the employee had not seen the deal on the register). I am thoroughly taken aback by the service that I received today and only hope that this situation can be remedied and does not happen to future patrons.

We've been Macy's customers since before it was the Hecht Company. We loved the Hecht Co. Consistent in its quality of product selection, competitive pricing and excellent customer service most of the time. That's how we felt when Hecht’s shut its doors and Macy’s took its place at the Fair Oaks Mall in Fairfax, VA. However, we have noticed that this Macy’s store is slowly slipping away from those values. For example and most recently, Macy’s has been having problems with their servers and their site is down and has been for three days now. One would think they would post something to this effect on their site. Nope, no message you just sit there while their system crashes and crashes and you think it’s your system. Aggravating and a huge waste of my time. Just shows how the bottom line is more important than their customers.
Then several days ago, my wife placed an online order. When the package didn't arrive as expected, she put a call into Macy’s and was on hold or with someone trying to figure out why for nearly an hour!!! It turns out someone put the wrong address on the package and it was misdelivered. No one from Macy’s or anywhere else bothered to notify us about this. Even though, they told my wife they were going to cancel the order and then let her place another order which meant we would have to carry the charges for an extra order then have to do a refund, etc. What a pain!!! Then the original package was delivered. What is going on in that place?
As far as sales reps are concerned, I have noticed this store appears to be engaged in preferential hiring practices by hiring so many Muslims in this store. As a matter of fact, the total percentage of white employees working at this Macy’s is not in keeping with the local demographics representing Fairfax County, VA. Their clothing specials come in the mail, come in email and any other possible way they can harass us with their "fake specials" where anything one may want to purchase will be excluded from the sale so you must buy what you would normally never buy to get the sale. The clothing selection is not what it used to be and whoever the buyers are in the men's department seem to favor less conventional attire and caters more to the kid’s hip-hop clothing. They do have some men's selections I do like but not like it used to be. I've grown tired of Macy’s and what I feel their business has evolved into. Macy’s needs to review some of their policies and operational procedures to make sure they are not abandoning those same business principles that made them great.
My wife has had to get on the phone with a Macy’s representative on several occasions to resolve stupid issues. Not once has it ever been less than a thirty minute journey into patience, waiting, more waiting and then having to deal with an incompetent, non-English speaking foreigner who could care less about whether or not you get the help you need. No greeting, no thank you when they take your money and you spend $500.00 in that store. I have found it necessary to do my shopping someplace else. I don't even need to convince my wife, she has already reached her limit with Macy’s. Macy’s is Down the Tubes!!!

They sent me a email to answer 5 questions, which I did except for one. That question was what kind of material was used for the packaging (which to this day I still don't remember).
Bottom line is they say they can't return my credit to my account until I tell them what materials were used to package the items. Now I purchased this item online with my Macy's credit card, my order number is **. They sent me the UPC number which is **. Received another email telling me I couldn't bring item into store yet online they say you can bring it into store or mail it.

Macy's has the screwiest account system I have ever encountered. I used my Macy's American Express card to make a purchase and then paid the bill through my online banking system. When I checked my account, the bill was attributed to my store card and my American Express card had a credit. I called customer service to correct the error, which they did. However, I was informed that had I not caught the error in time, I would have been charged a late fee. The way my account reads on their site, it actually looks like I have 3 different Macy's credit accounts. It's confusing at the very least and appears to be a way that Macy's can avoid paying fees to Amex. My advice is to NEVER use your Macy's Amex card in a Macy's store. If you do, they will automatically move the charge to the store card, but will not automatically move the payment to the store card.

The hour came and went. I was so frustrated I couldn't see straight. I then made another call, and basically got the same ball of wax, but this time with a non English speaking man. Same lag in the phone call, which made communication so difficult. This man, named Harrold (I found that particularly funny - Harrold, yeah right!) was at least able to complete my transaction, but in the end I was informed that two of the items I was purchasing were “sold out.” Whatever the case, I am an unsatisfied customer and I have paid off my balance, and will be closing the account with Macy’s. Americans are tired of calling customer support centers and reaching someone from a different country who barely understands what your problem is. If you go and walk through a Macy's department store you might be a little impressed, but I would not suggest to ANYONE to open a credit line with them, and I would CERTAINLY like to warn everyone who reads this about their very, very poor customer service!

Macy's merely refused my refund, in writing, due to UPS' claim that they had a "signature." This is the second time that UPS failed to deliver a shipment from Macy's. I will take this up with the NYC Department of Consumer Affairs as well, but I would like to start a class action.

For two days I worked with "customer support" trying to resolve why my bank approved purchases that were being cancelled by Macys.com. At first they told me it was a phone number mismatch but my bank assures me that phone numbers are not part of the process. Then I was told by a supervisor that Macy's policy does not permit them to clearly state why my card is being rejected and that I will have to drive the 35-40 miles to the nearest store and lose the online discount for the Christmas presents I was attempting to purchase. In the end the issue is that Macy's is refusing me service along with an explanation for the action. I am effectively barred from Macys.com just because they can.

Last Friday, I called Macy's customer service and ordered 6 pairs of underwear. When my email confirmation arrived, the order was wrong. My name was spelled incorrectly, and I was overcharged on shipping. That evening my credit card company called to report suspicious activity on my card. I called customer service 3 times and despite asking several times, I was never able to speak with a manager. I also sent my complaints via email twice hoping to get resolution but all they kept telling me was that according to their records, I had only been charged for 1 order. By Tuesday a.m., 8 orders had been placed by macys.com, all different amounts, totaling over $600.
I finally got on a 3-way call with my Macy's and my financial institution to cancel my card. Not one Macy's employee I spoke to or emailed was alarmed at the fraud that was taking place in my account. It was incredible. Thank goodness my bank was alert. Yes, Macy's management feel free to contact me. I would appreciate compensation for what I have been through. How did this happen? Don't you want to know?

I just had a horrible experience with two of Macy's customer service representatives - Heidi in Credit Services and Rosie or Rose at Technical Support. Yesterday, I tried to log in to my Macys.com account, but my email and my password which I have been using for years did not work and keep giving me an error. I tried to log in because I got a suspicious call from an unknown number saying she's calling from Macys.com regarding virtual gift card, which I was not aware of. After numerous attempts, I decided to call the customer service, but the customer rep (forgot the name) said that the system is currently down and told me to call back in 30 minutes and hung up.
I tried to call back after 30 min, an hour and 2 hours, but still got the generated voice mail saying that the office hour is from 8 to 5 or whatever (I called during business hours), so I decided to try back tomorrow, which is today. I left my cell phone at home today and I have no access to my personal email accounts at work. I tried to log in again, but got the same error messages, so I called during my lunch using my office phone.
Heidi in Credit services dept answered and I told her about the suspicious phone call regarding virtual gift card and not being able to log in to the account. She asked my email address. She then said she sent me an email with the password. I told her I have no access to my email account. She then said, "Then, I have to transfer to you the technical support." I also asked her about the suspicious phone call and the chances that my account was hacked or something and then she said I would need to speak to the online sales department.
The thing is I did not make any online purchases whatsoever. Maybe the last online purchases I made from Macys.com was from 2012. After fruitless 15-minute phone call, she transferred me to Rose or maybe Rosie at the Technical Support. She is one rude, airhead customer representative with nasty attitude and phone manner. SHE HUNG UP ON ME! Before she hung up, she asked the same questions all over again, which I provided all over again. She then said that the email address is not associated with my account, so I asked her why.
I'VE NEVER SHARED MY ACCOUNT INFORMATION WITH ANYONE, NOT EVEN WITH MY HUSBAND. I've never changed my email address or password as long as I know (although this is not good for many security reasons). As I've mentioned above, I've used this email address with Macy's account for years now. She was saying a possible explanation could be someone changed the log in information, which is absolutely ridiculous unless someone hacked into my account because again, I never gave my account info to anyone. She then said, "We don't have that email address associated with the account." So I asked her, when this email address has been no longer associated with the account?
I don't know what kind of system Macy's has operating, but I've been receiving emails that my statements are ready and my payments has been posted until this month, so I'm sure that they should have some sort of history that they could track back. She just kept cutting me off and told me the log in information is not associated with the account. Really? Should I forward the copies of email that I've received regarding statements and payments from Macy's for the past few years? If they look into my account payment history, it will show that I've been making online payments for years now. I don't even know how a customer could possibly make online payments without having an online profile being created to begin with. She said just create your profile again.
EXCUSE ME? I didn't hear any explanation why this technical problem (obviously beyond her knowledge and skills if she has any) occurred and I did not hear any apology causing a great deal of inconvenience and concerns. I even mentioned to her that I'm worrying that my account might have been hacked and she is not giving me any explanation or help to make this right, but she kept cutting me off and then hung up on me. They both were so ignorant and rude to its own customer who's worrying about own cyber security and finance. I'm thinking about paying off my account and close it forever.

They made all of us switch from Macy’s credit card to American Express Macy’s. They tell you there will be more benefits. What they don't tell you is now you have 2 credit card accounts. One that pays American Express for outside charges and one that pays for only Macy’s. I didn't realize this and paid the wrong account. After paying an additional 25 dollars in late fees for a 50 dollar watch, they are still charging me revolving late fees for the 25 dollar late fee I paid once they sent me the next bill. This is truly taking advantage of their consumers and double dipping into their wallets.

I've had a bad experience with returning merchandise from an order I placed on Macy's website. Rather than crediting my original form of payment (Am Ex), they sent me a letter saying they would send me a Macy's gift card for the return amount! I called customer service, told the agent I'd rather have a credit. "No problem," he says, "we'll credit your Am Ex acct." BTW, calling Customer Service is an ordeal in itself. It's virtually impossible to speak to a person, and expect LONG delays. I think it's odd that you get a gift card vs. a credit, too.
After a month, I still hadn't received the credit, so I called back. Related the whole story to a second CS person, who assured me all would be well in 7-10 days. Two weeks later, still no credit. Today I called for the third time and asked to speak to a supervisor. It's still not resolved. The supervisor I talked with said he'd need to talk to his manager. VERY disappointed in the poor service and the runaround.

I shopped at Macy's at Lake Forest Mall, Gaithersburg, MD this morning (9/7/13). I had a Macy's WOW! $10 OFF coupon from a newspaper. The coupon was $10 off all Sale and Clearance Apparel and Select Home Items on purchase of $25 or more. Coupon was valid 9/6 and 9/7 'til 1 PM. I found three clearance items (female tops) for a total of $30.95. When I paid at the counter with my $10 off coupon, I was told that the coupon did not apply to my purchase because the clearance items were already at a low price and Macy's was not making a profit on these clearance items.
Bear in mind that profit margin for clothing is high especially if they were made overseas in China, India, Indonesia, etc. The tops that I intended to purchase were all made in China. Macy's clothing are usually overpriced. I told the sales person that Macy's put out false coupon ad in the newspaper to lure customers to the store. By doing so, they aggravate and alienate their customers. If they made a mistake on the coupon ad, they should at least honor the coupon if sales conditions were met as stated on the coupon. Shame on Lake Forest Mall Macy's on its poor business practice.

I normally do not answer calls I do not recognize but because of the insistent calls, I decided to pick up - "big mistake for the man on the other end." He was informing me that I was 2 days late on my payment and instead of the $25.00 min. payment, I now owed him $95.00, and I could pay him the $95 right now over the phone! OH WOW, this is a pretty hefty late fee, I must say! Well I did refuse to pay him $95.00 and told him he had no right to call consistently without good cause. I have never heard of such a practice of sicking people on you for being 2 days late on a payment. I cannot believe that Macy's has the resources to pay an employee to make such calls, when it is surely clear that they should spend that money training some of the employees that I have been reading about today on the website!!!!! If you have experienced this and you wonder if others have, just check out a reverse phone website and you will be amazed by the volume of people Macy's does this to.

I ordered a bed and mattress and frame from Macy's to arrive on the same day that my 18 year old daughter would arrive at her never-before-seen college apartment, 500 miles out of town. The ordering by phone process was annoying because I had to write down an order number - they did not send email. I arrived with my daughter at the apartment after a long day of travel and Macy's called to say the bed would not arrive because of truck problems. It would come the next day.
The next day they called to say that they had a flat tire. We called over the Labor Day weekend to reschedule and their delivery department was closed. I promptly called Sleepy's on Labor Day and ordered a bed and mattress to arrive the next day. They sent me confirmation via email - no complicated order numbers. Bed came next day on time and was set up - no problem. I called Macy's back to cancel - it took 15 minutes on the phone to get that done. Sleepy's is truly professional; I am angry at Macy's for making a stressful situation for a college freshman even more stressful by not coming through with a bed delivery on the exact day and time frame promised - no compromise.

If I had not used this card for 2 years & lived in Hayward, code not scratched & still had the card then how's that possible? $35 is not big money but what game was being played? I told as many people as possible who do shop @ Macy's & they all will definitely think many times before purchasing next gift card & my brother who actually gave me the gift card & was giving everyone Macy's gift cards on occasions said he would never gift anyone with Macy's Gift card again!

I have nothing but utter disgust with my recent experiences with Macy's customer service. I originally placed a three-item order on April 24th. UPS did not deliver the package to my apartment and I emailed Macy's customer service to let them know about this. I received a response a day or two later letting me know if it was no problem and that I could just call Macy's customer service and not only would they honor my sales price, but they would also waive the shipping. I was very impressed by their response and support.
The next day, I did just that. I called Macy's and said I needed to replace my order. The lady I spoke with could not help me even after I explained my situation a few times. During our conversation, we were disconnected unexpectedly. I thought this may have been for the better and I called right back and was helped by a gentleman. He was very helpful and when he told me I would get standard shipping and receive my order in 7-10 days, I explained that I really needed this package for Mother's Day. He placed me on hold and came back on the phone to tell me he could get me expedited shipping and that I would receive it by the Wednesday before Mother's Day. I was very grateful for his understanding and customer support.
The following Wednesday came and went and I realized I never received a package or a tracking number for that matter. When I called Macy's back on Wednesday, a woman helped me. She let me know that the order from the following week had never gone through and that she could reorder it for me. She told me she could expedite the shipping so that my sister could have her gift in time for Mother's Day with her newborn. I realized everyone makes mistakes and tried not to remain too upset at the person who had tried but failed to help me previously.
I received the order confirmation and realized that now only had the most recent lady charged me for my entire order again, even though I had clearly stated more than once that I had already received the bracelet and that I had already been charged for the entire order originally, but she also charged me for an address change and for shipping. I was quite upset. Here we go again. I called and spoke to another gentleman. He apologized for the lady, took away the inappropriate charges, and put my package into Next Day Air so that I could possibly receive it by Friday but definitely by Saturday. And so the story continues.
Not only was I charged on my credit card again by this man, but again I still have not received my complete package. So needless to say, my sister never received her Mother's Day gift that I placed on April 24th. Oh and I have an extra $30 charge on my credit card, after I have paid for my entire order already. Throughout the course of all this countless wasted time calling Macy's for customer service, I asked to speak to a supervisor not once, not twice, but three times. And not once have I ever been able to. The first time, I conveniently got disconnected. I never received a call back. The second time, the supervisor (apparently the only one working that day) was on a phone call and would call me back in 15 minutes I was told. Well, that was a week ago and I am still patiently waiting by the phone. The third time was today. The lady who I spoke with literally said the words "I promise you will get to speak to a supervisor" and even took down my phone number in case we were to get disconnected.
Well, we did get disconnected after I was on hold for this supervisor for 10 minutes. That was 148 minutes ago. Again, I am patiently waiting by my phone. I really believed that the third time would be the charm. I am completely and utterly beyond frustrated. I am disgusted at the lack of customer service I have received from such a large department store. I have registered almost $10,000 at Macy's for my upcoming wedding.

I am prefacing this complaint by saying I've had a Macy's card for over 16 yrs and until the incident below did not miss one payment in 16+ years and typically paid in full.
I moved in June 2012 and called Macy's along with all my other credit cards, DMV, etc. to alert them of my new address in Aug. 2012. At the end of November 2012, I went shopping for Christmas gifts and spent over $500 in Macy's. On April 6th, 2013, I was notified for the first time that my account was 4 months past due. The call was from a collection agency. In speaking to the representative named Paula, I was told that my billing address was not updated so the bills have been going to my old address. She updated my billing address and gave me another number to call to resolve what was now a collection account on my credit report. She explained that because the mailing address was incorrect, Macy's would work with the credit reporting agencies to resolve. I paid the bill in full the same day electronically through my bank account. Paula said that she'd make a note of it. I also asked if I could receive copies of the statements to verify that all charges were indeed mine.
4/6 was a Saturday, so it took until Tuesday, 4/9, before my bank confirmed that the payment went through. Between those three days I received 17 more calls from their collections department. I didn't realize it at the time being that it was an 800 number (I didn't pick up thinking it was some sort of solicitation). On Tuesday morning, after seeing the transaction number, I called Macy's back to resolve with the credit company and was told by a representative named Stella that she received the payment but the account had since been closed and there was nothing she could do, that this had to remain on my credit report. I explained that I spoke to Paula on 4/6 who told me that it could be resolved. She said no, that it must have been a misunderstanding. I explained that since I have 16 yrs history of paying on time and had recently moved, this should not reflect negatively on me. But again there was nothing she could do.
Throughout the day, I continued to receive calls from the collection agency (still not knowing that the 800 number was them). After over 5 calls in one day, I picked up and was told by that representative that my account was past due. I explained all the above to him and once again confirmed that the bill was now paid in full, and I was told that I still actually owe $6 for the statement I requested.
To summarize, despite 16+ yrs of happily accepting my money and waiting four months before even trying to contact me to resolve the situation, Macy's basically harassed me by calling me over 20+ in three days, closed an account and put me in collection affecting my credit rating. I will not only never shop at their stores again, but since I work in Advertising, I will trash them to the entire media community, encouraging anyone I can convince to speak/write about my experience in publications for thousands of people to see/read.

Without the shoes the dress is no good, and I was not about to run around town to stores and find the color of shoes that match the dress.
Anyway the shoes arrived after Easter. Then of course UPS delivers them during work hours while I was at work and ended up taking the damn shoes back to a location in Belton even though we have a location here in Killeen, TX, but I'm told they are not allowed to return merchandise at the local store. Don't worry, I’m about to complain about their stupid ** on their website as well. Like why have a location here if all merchandise is going to be returned near 45 minutes away. Anyway when I get my hands on them shoes, I’m taking the shoes and every last thing I ordered from Macy’s back. I want all my money back. All 100 plus dollars I spent on your sorry **.

I purchased 4 bone china dinner plates from Macy's web. Three days later, a box was delivered to my door step. I picked up the box and heard broken pieces so I opened it to find my 4 plates stacked together all broken with a 6" piece of bubble wrap loose around the plates dropped in a box with no packing peanuts and no return label?! I called customer service and got an inexperienced, untrained Macy's employee who just wanted to continually put me on hold for 8 to 11 minutes and couldn't understand why I keep hanging up.

We bought a mattress from Macy's with a valid receipt of 2-year payment with no interest. And two days ago, a call came from Macy's to make full payment and also pay full interest. So we ended up paying $2000 because of their system's fault. Why the hell do we suffer because of their system error? We have a valid receipt which is printed saying, "If payment is not paid within 24 months, interest will be charged". They just do not want to consider this receipt now. We are not going to sit quiet and we are planning to take this issue at a bigger level. It's because of that salesperson that some error happened and they are making us to pay. We are never going to visit Macy's; neither are our friends and families. We hate you, Macy's.

I was embarrassed by a store employee in front of other workers and other customers and accused of trying to get an extra pair of Xmas pajama pants on clearance for $3.90. I came back in to tell the woman who waited on me that she had forgotten to put them into my bag. Well, she didn't think so and made it clear she didn't. I also bought two defective pairs of Bear Paw boots and a jacket that split up at the zipper. I went in and spoke to managers. I called several times and never received so much as an apology. It has been a nightmare trying to speak to anyone regarding these matters. I've also written letters. Why does Macy's care so little? Please, that's all I want to know at this point.

I've noticed that since I moved from Louisville to Indianapolis, the salespeople couldn't care less if they waited on you or not. In bedding, they put other people ahead of us and made us wait to buy 2 sets of Martha Stewart fleece sheets and a new bedspread. I went to Clinique which I have worn for 30+ years and more and I started my daughter at 14; she never had a pimple. She has the most beautiful skin for 44 with no wrinkles. I'm almost 70 and no wrinkles.
Clinique did it but when I went to buy it the last time in Greenwood, IN, I was ignored for about 15 minutes until I went and found someone myself. It shouldn't be that way. I will say for Louisville that I was never treated like that there. They were always trying to help me because they knew my spending habits. But what's the difference? I got great service. I think some of them here needs to be retrained. In my business, retraining would start immediately.

I work for Macy’s. I work in the logistics and operations part in Portland, TN. I'll tell y’all this... Do not shop at Macy’s. This place is ridiculous. You should see how the people that work in packing throw around everyone’s orders that have been packaged in boxes or bags. Hell I have heard them say they try to break the items inside if they know it is breakable. I have to give props though to the packing dept. These people bust their ** every day to get the orders out and they are very professional. But after packing... good luck with your order. Hell they had people loading trucks stealing tons of merchandise during the holiday season. Luckily our security dept. caught them and the items were returned from their home within an hour of being caught.
And drama... Holy **… right now there is a woman who is being harassed by a security guard, an old man security guard at that. He follows her around where she goes... leaves work early without clocking out just to go sit near her house to see if she goes home. I mean it's bad.
The managers in the back care nothing about the people. All they want is to be able to meet their numbers at the end of the day. Not one time do they worry about the customer. When these issues are brought up to our HR, they don’t do nothing because they don’t want a bad name for themselves. I was told during my orientation that if someone sues Macy’s for anything, Macy’s will settle because they don’t want word to get out.
Do not shop at Macy’s.

About three weeks ago, I was on my Macy's account online. I decided to add my husband on my card. The process was easy enough; so I thought. I received a letter about a week later saying that I needed to call the Macy's Protection Department. I did thinking it was no biggie and this probably has something to do with me adding my husband. I called and they do the usual questions to verify me. Then the lady told me there was a block on my account and that she would have to ask me additional questions. She then proceeded to ask me if a name sounds familiar to me. The name does - it's my aunt. She asked me about what town she lives in. Then, she asked me about her husband's birthday (which I don't know).
At this point, I was confused! I'm thinking, isn't this supposed to verify who I am? She then ask me another question regarding another name that I don't recognize, and an address I don't recognize either. When I told her this, she said sorry but she can't lift the block today; someone will call me and try again. I'm angry at this point. What the heck does aunt and some stranger have to do with me? I have never had anyone ever cosign for anything in my 29 years of life. I've never lived with my aunt; on top of that, I barely talk to her. She tells me they use this system that accesses public records and that they ask these questions at random; she was just following the system. We ended the conversation, and I'm just angry!
My husband and I went to Macy's yesterday (3/23/13). We picked out two items from the Houseware Department, and I tried to pay with my Macy's card. The sales associate had to call the credit department for a code. She hands me the phone and the questioning happens again. Again, they are about the same questions about my aunt, some random name I don't recognize, some address in some town in southern California (mind you that I haven't lived in Southern California since I was in 3rd grade). Again, she tells me, “Sorry, but we can't lift the block!” I'm furious! The sales associate has my ID with her, and I'm standing there. I gave her my address and the last four numbers of my social; and still, this isn't enough to verify that I am who I say I am!
I tell her it was so easy for me to change the last name and this process is a pain! She then says, “Well, these are public record questions, and they have something to do with your background! I'm enraged when she says this! Wait a second, you have the gall to tell me what my background is because you know my background! Top calm me down, she told me I can come back at anytime to a Macy's store with my ID, my social, and a bank statement/utility bill and the sales associate will be able to help get the block lifted because with these extra forms of ID, I'll be able to get this lifted even though I'm already there and the sales associate has my ID care in hand. Again, I'm so angry because I live 40-45 minutes away from the closest Macy's. On top of that, I have a 4-month old son and it's a production just getting out of the house!
In the end, we ended up buying those items with our bank card and leaving. I really didn't want to buy them, but my husband really wanted those two items. We are going to go back there today and try to get the block lifted. Once it is lifted, I'm canceling my card and asking them what company they use to verify people so I can call them directly and figure out for myself who that random person they keep asking me about is and the address. If this has something to do with my background, then I need to look into this more. So thanks Macy's for giving me a huge headache and making me feel like a criminal for trying to use and change my own account! I've had a Macy's card since I worked there in high school and now, I will never shop there again!

I was in the shoe department and picked up a pair of DKNY shoes I liked, and I then tried unsuccessfully to get the attention of the "man" at the desk. He completely ignored me so I brought them over to the desk, and he busied himself even though I was standing there, by going to the back and talking to someone and then after refusing to acknowledge me for the entire time I was standing there. It was as if he was working there and he didn't have a job to do or that I was an annoyance because I obviously wanted a shoe size. He eventually called to a ** or ** who quickly came over and was quite pleasant and took my size order and brought my shoe out.
I sat down to try on the shoes, which fit, and when I was done trying on my shoe, I again made my way over to the desk where "he" was and again he ignored me but called over ** or **. She rang up my shoe purchase and I asked her the name of the "man" and she said his name was **. I let her know that he was very rude and left me with a bad experience and she apologized, which was appreciated. I told her I appreciated her being so pleasant and attentive. Why would Macy’s have such an obnoxious person working at their store, and better yet, why would such an obnoxious person be working in the field of customer service at a department store when clearly he has no clue on his role and leaves customers with a horrible experience?

I purchased a large rug in the Macy's San Francisco Union Square store. They said I should be receiving it in 2 weeks. A few days later, I got a call that it was on backorder and I would not get it for 6-8 weeks. I decided fine, I would wait. It finally arrived and I left to go out of town the next day, without taking it out of the packaging. I came back and laid it out to discover this odd spot on it - about the size of a quarter. It almost looked burnt. I spoke to the employee who had sold me the rug and he gave me his email address. I took lots of photos of it and sent them to him. He called to say that although I was 2 days beyond the 7-day return policy, they were going to replace it.
First, he told me I needed to ship back that one as the new one would not go out until the first was received. I explained that I had just waited 8 weeks for the rug, why should I have to wait longer? He asked someone else the same thing and was finally able to get them to mail one right away. I received it about 7 or 8 days later and it was in good condition. I also received a return label for the first one. Well, I ended up leaving town for the holidays shortly after that and just a couple of days after I got back, I had a death in the family and was gone again. Returning this stupid, damaged rug was the last thing on my mind. I eventually received 2 or 3 calls from the actual store before the manager of the "Fine Rug Gallery" called. Her messages were short and rude, as if I had or was trying to commit some sort of crime.
In the last message, she mentioned they would be charging for the 2nd rug if they did not get it back soon. I called her back and she was out of the office, so I asked for her email address. I sent an email explaining that I travel extensively and that I had a death in the family, I was out of town, but would work on getting it back when I returned. She sent a semi-cordial response with a new return label. A couple of week passed and she left a very nasty message saying that if the rug was not received by 3/4/13, the account would be charged for a 2nd rug (over $550). I replied and said I do not know if that is legal as I paid for one rug with the expectation and understanding that it was an undamaged product, in perfect condition and so far I have only received one of those and not 2. She replied and said condition of the rug does not matter; I still have 2 rugs and will be charged if it is not picked up asap.
I am not sure what ever happened to genuine customer service, but it is certainly not present here.

It has been a long time since I've been a regular Macy's customer.

I've never seen such a cheap made rug before. There is better quality stuff at Wal-Mart and that is not an exaggeration! Not only that, the rug was damaged and already unraveling upon receipt of it. I notified Macy's the very day it arrived and told them of my dissatisfaction and that I wanted to return it immediately. Long story short and many lies from customer service, it is now 3 weeks later and I still have this junk in the middle of my floor to be picked up! I've been told it would be picked up; it wasn't. I've been told I would receive a $50 gift card for my trouble; I received a $25 gift card.
I mentioned this discrepancy to three different reps and all disregarded it and acted like I should be thankful I got $25. I have never experienced anything like it before! Their customer service is nonexistent! I still have the product and I am still waiting for pickup since this rug cannot be returned to any Macy's stores. I have taken out a dispute through AmEx to stop payment to Macy's. I noticed they have a 30-day refund policy. It seems they are trying to prolong this return so maybe they pass the date.

I called Macy's and told them I did not want a gift card - I wanted a refund. So they told me they were sorry and would credit my account immediately. I thought I had a zero balance at that point and was too busy with the holidays and work to open my statement or even remember that I had done that. My phone started ringing from Macy's this past Sunday at dinner time, so I answered and asked why they were calling me on a Sunday and hung up. The calls did not stop so when I got a minute, I got online and saw a balance with late fees. I felt bad for hanging up and made a $75.00 payment.
Today, I was trying to remember what I had purchased besides what I had returned. I got online again and saw that they had never credited my account for the returned merchandise and they were now charging me interest and late fees on the gift card they sent me. I called again today and was told they would zero my account balance after I just paid $75.00, and who knows how long it will take to get my $75.00 back. I can't help wondering how many other people are duped because they were too busy to follow up with returns or open mail to find gift cards when they were expecting a credit on their account.

My husband and I have had almost 30 years of impeccable credit... until Macy's chose to report me to a credit reporting agency. Apparently, I had a $6.97 charge on my account. Macy's chose to stop sending me paper statements in lieu of online statements without informing me of this change and to a Gmail account I rarely check (I honestly probably wouldn't have opened it anyway since I get junk mail from Macy's on a daily basis). Over a three-month, Macy's kept adding late fees to this account until it totaled $61, at which time I was reported to Equifax. At no time during this three month period did I receive snail mail informing me of an outstanding balance.
Please remember that Macy's has billed me through the US Mail for over 20 years - never online. I always, always pay my bills on time - and usually pay all credit card balances in full - so it's not as if I have a history of even slightly blemished credit. I cannot begin to express how livid I am over this situation. When I spoke to the customer service rep tonight, he informed me that Macy's has the right to change their method of billing from snail mail to email without informing me.

We opted to go with the repair department option rather than just a return. After speaking with the manager about options, bad idea. The store never called to tell me that my item was in. I had to call them 6 times and got rerouted through the whole store. Finally, I got someone who told me they were in. I went to pick them up, only to find out that they do not repair the Fascination collection - 3 weeks wasted. The clerk then told me they had another pair in stock and couldn't find them. Figures right.
My blood is about boiling now. I asked for a supervisor, who told me I should just make the return. So I did. I asked then that the money will be put back into my account. The manager told me it goes back immediately. The manager offered me $50 in Macy's money for the hassle. I figured it's Friday night and should post on Monday. Guess again. The transaction takes 48-72 hours to post to the bank. With tomorrow being New Year's Day and banks being closed, I will not even see the transaction until probably Thursday. Then my bank still needs to refund the money, which can take a few more days. I called customer service to see if there is anything that can be done to escalate this to get me my money back. The rep on the phone told me that she will call the store and speak with them on my behalf. Guess who got blind transferred to the store? That's right folks - the customer.
Now I assume the manager didn't know she was speaking with a customer either because she asked in a very snide voice, "Well what does she expect? She just made the return Friday." So I nicely stated that she was in fact talking to the customer. Dead silence. Then, "Well how did I get you? I was speaking to a customer service rep." Valid question in fact. I guess it's because no one at Macy's has a clue. No one was able to help me. Nothing I can do about getting my money back any faster. Funny how the store is so quick to take it from your account.

I was really happy, so I kept an eye on them. They got marked down from $98 to $69, but still too expensive for me. So I waited. Well I logged on late at night and noticed there was an extra 25% off friends and family. So I was happy; unfortunately, I didn't have enough money to buy two pairs of shoes with free shipping. I felt there was enough shoes left. The next day, I saw the sale again - $52 the same as the friends and family discount, but just discounted. Guess what? My shoes were suddenly sold out. Bummer I thought. The only pair left was vanilla in all sizes, not black, and wine in 7.5. They were marked down to $52 and change. I was mad. I never ordered them and I kept checking other sites to see if I could get them at a similar price.
The next day, Thursday. I checked Macy's site again to see if any came back in stock and guess what? They had every pair. Wine, black and vanilla in every size. How is that possible?

I then went to the Bed Bath and Beyond on Sanford Blvd. in Mount Vernon, NY. The exact same Keurig Brewer was again for $119.99. I asked a salesperson if the brewer was on sale. He told me that this is the regular price for this Keurig Brewer Model B40.

Back in October, I went onto Macy's website to make a payment. Once I logged in, I noticed that I was already paid up to date and was not due a payment until November. I set up automatic payments to be taken out of my account in the future to prevent the need of logging on each month. On November the 26th, I logged on after noticing that a payment had not come out of my checking account. The payment due was larger than what was normally expected. I called Macy's on Nov 28th, spent several hours calling, being transferred, hung up on and promised calls back from numerous representatives. I must say that Macy's Customer Service has become extremely poor, both in store and over the phone.
I called the original customer service department at 9 am on 11-28 to report the issue with the online account and was transferred to 800-545-1256 which was Collections. The representative was reluctant to listen to my issue/concern but instead advised that I have been reported to Collections and that I was showing 68 days past due. This became rather frustrating. If I was 68 days past due, shouldn't I have been made aware that there was a payment due the prior month? Shouldn't I have been contacted in some sort of way by Macy's? Macy's does not send me statements ever. They have my current telephone number, email and home address. My credit is great. My balance is extremely low with Macy's. I am not even utilizing a quarter of my available credit. My online account with Macy's is still showing that the payment is pending to come out. My checking account has more than enough to cover the balance due.
I requested a supervisor and was connected to Rebecca **. I advised that I understand that I have been reported and I was prepared to bring the account current. I informed of the issue that I was having with the site and I explained that I would first like to be sure that my issue will be resolved. Rebecca was very inconsiderate and advised that no one will help me until I make a payment. I explained that it shows payment pending to come out and I did not want to be charged double. I stated this over and over. It was like she could not hear what I was saying or just didn't care.
I asked Rebecca for her manager and she refused. Instead, she transferred me to Edwin at 800-627-2909 which is the Credit Reporting department. For the fourth time, I explained the situation again. He had no regard to my issue and said that he would create a case and it would take a couple of days. I asked Edwin for a supervisor. He left me on hold for about 15 minutes and then hung up. I called back and got him again. He transferred me to Supervisor Rahul who was very unprofessional. I emailed him screen shots of all online activity (I keep records for my confirmation). At approximately 11:30, Rahul promised me a call back before 4 pm on the 28th.
I hadn't received a call so I called back around 4:30 pm and got Lacreatia who transferred me to a Supervisor named Kim. She said that she would contact Rahul and call me back. Today is Dec. 6th 11 pm and the website is still showing payment pending to come out of my account. To this date, I have not received a call from a Rahul or Kim as promised. I just want the issue with my online account resolved, payment completed from the pending status or cancelled so that I can make another without double payment. I would like Macy's to admit to the mistake or issue with their website, reports to be removed from my credit and late fees removed.

Macy’s forced my wife to resign for her disability by Undue Influence. Macy’s is located at Westfield Fashion Square, 14000 Riverside Drive, Sherman Oaks, CA 91423; 818-788-8350. Macy's will try to protect their illegal actions by making false excuses to terminate long-term employees and protected class employees in an attempt to avoid lawsuits. And in the process, Macy's creates a defamation case.
A letter received and dated November 1, 2012 from Macy’s Cincinnati, OH 45202 is one of that fabricated excuses done by Macy’s. It is untrue and a false letter; Macy’s is having an agenda of deceiving employees and acting above the law. It is a ruse and Macy’s did not investigate anything at all. Macy’s has zero credibility in legal issues and too often acting above the law. Macy’s told me on the letter received, that an investigation was done on the situation, found no evidence of Undue Influence. Also, the former supervisor (without mentioning supervisor name or dated of such investigation or who was doing the investigation) said that my wife was not forced to retire. It’s a 100% false statement done by Macy’s, the manager was nagging my wife to resign for the last 6 months.
My wife was coerced and forced to resign for her disability by Undue Influence. Did any criminal ever accept any wrong doing for its illegal actions or crimes committed against the society? As things evolve, I will provide more facts and all the names of the people involved on it. The manager forced my wife to sign papers to quit her job (to resign). Macy’s did a discriminatory discharge on my wife. It was a wrongful-termination/age-discrimination. Because of her disability, my wife had no idea on the papers signed. Macy's never placed my wife in a different job for her disability; a violation of ADA and EEOC, when an employee becomes disabled. In 2003, Doctor Cecilia **, informed Macy's of my wife’s early disability (an early disability that will allow my wife to do a different work inside Macy's).
In 2005, my wife asked for accommodation, filled forms at the office, but the request was ignored because my wife was making more money than other co-workers and Macy's will not allow my wife to do office work or any type of different work receiving the same pay check. My wife’s position is floor sales, selling expensive women apparel. She was never promoted but had a superb reputation, having top reviews and many Macy’s certificates as well as many customer excellent reviews. My wife received only one salary increase in 25 years, never before and never after that. Macy’s squeezed its employees like a lemon until the lemon will go dry. Macy’s greed is very well known by its employees. You are a robot not a human being. Many years ago and only for 4 days, Macy’s told employees to do paperwork during working hours but soon after that, Macy’s told employees not do it anymore because it wasn't productive neither profitable for Macy’s. No overtime paid since 1983 for paperwork done at home.
Macy’s owes my wife many thousands of dollars in unpaid overtime. Macy’s used forced resignation instead of firing my wife to rip her off, to bypass the law and not to pay a dime to my wife including severance payment. No overtime paid in 25 years (3.3 hours daily) for work done at home for Macy’s on an hourly employee working 40 hours a week. Because of Macy's actions, my wife never got any unemployment or workers compensation. My wife was never laid off in 25 years, having a superb reputation at Macy's but never promoted by Macy’s. She was doing the manager work many times for months without getting the manager salary or any increased on my wife’s hourly pay. The resignation was fraudulent, obtained under intimidation, harassment, discrimination and pressure. The department manager used coercion on my wife to gain compliance.
The manager purposely did on my wife intentional infliction of emotional distress while she was still working at Macy's, Sherman Oaks, CA 91423. The department manager was nagging my wife for 6 months in order to force my wife to sign papers to resign. The forced resignation was undue influence done by the manager on a person with mental disability (my wife) unable to defend her rights and to protect from predatory practices with tendency to control her mind for Macy’s own gain. In 5-2010, when my wife was hospitalized, $500,000 was paid by Medicare. The doctors at the Hospital, Doctor Z. ** and A. ** wrote on the medical report that my wife was having a history of slowly deteriorating mental status, difficulties to keep her balance, not walking straight, not speaking much, memory lapses and these symptoms have been going on for the last 2 years, starting on 2008 or before 2008. Macy’s used undue influence on my wife to resign on 2008. Macy's forced my wife to resign on 10-3-2008. Macy’s abused on a person having disability by manipulation, harassment and coercion. Macy’s was the culprit of the problem.
In 2010, 2 years after my wife’s forced resignation, she was hospitalized (paid by Medicare). MRIs, CT Scans and many x-rays were taken. MRIs taken found holes in her brain causing mental disability, the tests that should have been taken by Macy's Insurance, but was never approved by Macy's health insurance in 2007, 2006 or before 2006. In 2002, Macy’s doctor health insurance prescribed 2 danger defective drugs: Fosamax and Nexium, putting my wife life upside down. The doctor prescribed these drugs because of my wife’s damages while working at Macy’s; got osteoporosis for not sitting, not resting and not taking breaks. Preventive medical care or preventive medicine was not practiced, neither approved by Macy's insurance. The insurance did not approve many drugs. If the lousy Macy’s health insurance did approve all the tests, later done and paid by Medicare, my wife’s condition would have stopped or even been safe by a long shot and having a normal life as before. But for Macy’s, profits come first and employees can go straight to hell.
Catastrophic injuries by negligence and violation of my wife rights while working at Macy’s: We deal with visible injuries here and easily articulated fractures seen in radiographic studies as well on all the MRIs taken at the medical offices and the hospital. My wife was hospitalized for 30 days in 5-2010. For walking the sales floor for 25 years, my wife got damages on her femur, legs, knees, spinal cord for not seating, not resting and not taking breaks. She also got bladder and bad kidney disease for not drinking water because of the manager’s pressure to sell extreme amounts of dollars every day. My wife stopped drinking water to not go to the bathroom and keep selling without control. The manager said to do that or she will get in trouble or get fired. My wife’s forced resignation was on 10-3-2008.
In 2012, because of all the abuses done at Macy’s, my wife is a handicap person in a wheel chair for the rest of her life, not speaking, not walking and unable to do anything at all. I have to take care of my wife 24 hours round the clock. It is interesting that a person who has a 25 year career with this company is suddenly incompetent and useless. Macy's is the American Taliban. 12-2-12, notice to Consumer Affairs; address and phone number changed, contact me only by e-mail.

I have tried to return the handbag and I didn't want my money back, just a credit to get a comfortable handbag and explained to Andrea, the male manager from the handbag department. He didn't explain to me what he was going to do and walked away and said he would be back.
I waited for 20 minutes and Andrea came back with a large underdressed woman and I am not prejudiced, a large black woman who acted like she understood what happened with this purchase of this bag and tried to intimidate me and threw the bag in my face and told me to leave the store. I was so embarrassed and scared because this large woman didn't want to identify herself and I felt victimized! A day before this handbag purchase, I returned a handbag that I bought my mom and Andrea, the male manager, was verbally harassing me and degraded how the bag looked. It was in its condition and never used. He was harassing me and followed me throughout the handbag department.
I had a question regarding a wallet and he looked at me and ignored me. I am not rich and do not look rich and heavy and disabled and as many times I have made complaints they don't care. I even tried to return the expensive handbag on 12-01-2012 and the cashier remembered me buying the bag and a manager said to me that she is a nobody and she doesn't count. How can a manager say this to her own employee? Nothing was resolved and I am stuck with an expensive handbag which they have others, the same ones, on the shelf and I walked away crying and feeling degraded and abused. Someone please help me!

On 11/24/12, Macys.com advertised a pair of bearpaw boots for $95 which I was trying to order the entire day. But when you click on the shoe, no information would come up and it said sale ends on 11/24/12. I contacted Macy's thinking that there might be something wrong with the website. They told me they do not have the shoe in stock, so I went back in on 11/25/12 and they were still advertising the shoe on their website. So I called again and insisted that they honor the price and order the shoe for me. They told me no.
I even told them that they are advertising something since November 24 and they do not have the item in stock. To me, that is deceptive sales practice. On top of that, they still have the item advertised on November 25th. I have sent them an email twice and they have not acknowledged it. I would like the price honored and for them to special order the boots for me. I did copy the ad from the Macy's website if needed and I do have the copies of the emails sent to them.

First of all, customer service is pitiful at best. I don't shop there much, but when I do, 100% of the time I have a problem with customer service. Today (11-24-12), I purchased a menswear product. The product was on sale, plus had a coupon for percentage off, and paid cash. I received change and was short $2.00, basically the discount amount. Last visit prior to this one, I purchased a product from Clinique in Macy's Ridgedale, and believe it or not, they forgot to put the product in the bag and that was after they failed to give me the product I asked for initially. After I initially requested a product, I asked them if this was the product I requested, and nope, not a chance. And the top it off, they did not even put the product in the bag.
I don't normally check my bag, but once I got to my car, for some odd reason I checked the bag, and nope not any product, just the freebies. The visit before this, I wanted a particular product at Clinique and granted the products are similar; (All About Eyes vs. all about eyes - rich), I requested All About Eyes and they did not ask me which one I wanted. At the time I did not know the difference until I got home with the one I did not want, so I had to use it which gets depleted pretty quickly because it is not rich. I did not know there was a rich variety until I received it one time before and just thought they changed the product. Unfortunately, I can't count on them to help because they certainly don't volunteer any information.
Believe it or not, the time before that I was waiting to be served and they did not even wait on me until finally I said something since they were waiting on many people who were there after me. What a complete and utter joke. I'm not certain they even graduated from high school, because they certainly don't have any common sense or respect for customers. Forget customer relationship management, they don't have a clue.
That's only half of the story, beware of their marketing ploys. Spend $25 and save $10. Sure, if you can find something that is not in their fine print exclusions. Year after year, on Black Friday they have this and unfortunately I fall for it, but not again after seeing their astronomical prices, along with this marketing tactic. Never again will I ever shop at any Macy's regardless of location. If you want to waste your time and money, shop at Macy's. Not to mention your frustration and anxiety that you leave with.

We attempted to purchase a new leather loveseat from the Macy's Home Furnishings store in Costa Mesa on November 7, 2012. I wrote them a check for the sale. Days later, the sales agent whom we made the purchase with, called and told me my check was declined. I called my bank and they assured me the funds were in the account and also, that no check had been processed and declined by them. I called back to the salesperson and they said it was out of their hands. They use an outside check cashing service, which had performed a credit check and declined the check without even processing it.
I can't believe this happened. I have been a long time Macy's customer for years. We cancelled the order for the furniture and will not be back to any Macy's store as a customer. I guess unless you have perfect credit you should not attempt to write a check to Macy's. Maybe some of us who might have a little too much charged to our credit cards are trying to purchase without using a credit card, and then we are punished for it.

We placed our furniture order in August. It is now November and we have yet to receive it. This problem is due to 2 parts on Macy's: When we originally placed the order in August, we were informed that a piece was back ordered and Macy's would not be receiving the merchandise until beginning of October. After this information, we raised our concern and questioned Macy's if we would be able to receive the furniture before Thanksgiving since we needed it by that date. Macy's representative informed us that we should be receiving the order by then. Fast forward to October, we called Macy's for an update on the status of our furniture order and delivery. We were informed again the piece has yet to arrive and it would not be until end of October/ beginning of November (they did not call or send any correspondence regarding this issue; we were only informed when we called for a status).
We raised our concern again regarding our Thanksgiving deadline. Again Macy's reassured us we would be receiving it before that date. It is now November and our back ordered item has finally arrived to Macy's warehouse, but! Due to the fact that our address is considered long distance, they need to use the Home Direct carrier and then a local carrier. We received a phone call on Nov. 2 (from Home Direct) informing us to expect a phone call from the local carrier to schedule our delivery. After 3 days, we have yet to receive the phone call. We called Home Direct and were informed the furniture is in transit and not to expect a phone call until Nov. 19 from the local carrier. Let's see if we receive the phone call and delivery before Thanksgiving.
After following up again with Macy's, they claimed it was not their fault and it was out of their hands. However, we are your customers and moreover are paying you extra for the delivery service. Therefore it is your responsibility to get us the products on time. We should not have to chase the delivery service. Now we have a house filled with out-of-town family but no furniture. Thank you, Macy's, for ruining our first family Thanksgiving!

I opened a Macy's account and used the discount that was offered to purchase a dress and some shoes. About a month later, I went into my local Macy's store to return a pair of shoes that I had not worn and to close out my account. I have a good credit rating and always pay off my balance in full, and I did not want to have too many accounts open, because of the risk of forgetting to pay off a balance. I asked the salesperson for my balance so that I could pay it off by check, and I paid the amount I was told. I received some mail from Macy's and assumed that it was junk mail because I had already closed my account. A couple of months later, I received a call from Macy's. I called back, and after wrestling with the automated system (and having it hang up on me), I talked to an agent, who told me that I owe $44+ on my account for the $10.18 balance that I owed on the account plus late fees. Though I had been told my account had been closed, I was not told that I would need to pay an additional amount for adjustments made to my original discount.
I asked to speak to a supervisor, and I was told by the original agent that they could waive $11 of the late fees but that I would still owe $34+ on the account. I asked again to speak with the supervisor, who after some negotiation, said that he could waive $22+ of late fees but that I would still be responsible for the $10.18 plus a late fee, which made the total $24.36. I asked Mr.** how he would feel being assessed so much for a $10 balance, when it was clear that a good faith attempt was made to pay off the account in full. I know that this is how credit card companies make money, but I was clearly not a delinquent customer and this late fee will likely ruin my excellent credit rating. I will never shop at Macy's again, and I will tell my friends and family the same.

Brides-to-be: attention! If you love your friends and relatives, don't register at Macy's! A few months ago I went to their site and spent about $400 on wedding gifts for the daughter of a close friend. A few weeks after the wedding, I received an e-mail from Macy's saying one of the items was out of stock and could no longer be ordered online. OK, I get that. I knew the bride would probably get a notification saying the gift had been cancelled (because she had previously been told it was ordered but on back-order), so I called the 800 number to find out what gifts they hadn't yet received so I could order something else. I gave the woman at Macy's my name and address, e-mail address and the Macy's original order number and offered to use the original credit card number, too.
But she refused to allow me to order a new gift! Why? Because the phone number I gave them didn't match their records and their policy is that all information has to match. So get this: even though they knew darn well who I was, even though I had already spent over $300 at their wedding registry, even though I had their Macy's order number and their e-mail to me and could tell them which credit card number I used, now I have to tell the bride and her father (my best friend), “Sorry, you're never going to get the rest of my gift because Macy's didn't have the right phone number!” So brides and grooms, unless you want to put your relatives through this, don't register at Macy's!

I ordered new bedding and new sheets for the house. When I received my Martha Stewart sheet "set", I discovered that I had paid an arm and a leg for a single fitted sheet. I went on the website and found that nowhere does it state that it’s a single sheet only. You have to be extra aware of what you're ordering. Since it was my mistake for not being more careful, I ordered the matching pillow cases and flat sheet. Mind you, by the time this order had been paid, I had paid $100 for a 400 count sheet set. And that was the sale price. Had I ordered it not on sale, it would've been $200. Who in their right mind pays that kind of money for a 400 thread count set?
Anyway, when I received my order, I noticed that they sent me pillow cases and another fitted sheet. I know when I placed the item in my cart it was the flat sheet. I looked at the invoice and sure enough, it had been changed to say fitted sheet. I tried to find a number to contact Macy's and couldn't find anything other than an email address. So, I sent an email expressing my displeasure with the change they made to my order and asked for them to reship the correct item. They claimed no responsibility. None! They said that it was my mistake and I had ordered the fitted sheet. I have gone back and forth with emails trying to get them to understand that the mistake had to have been some kind of computer glitch and I was livid I was being punished for it. All I was told was that I could exchange the fitted sheet by mail and I'd be charged a $6.95 shipping fee. Oh, but they gave me an "act of courtesy" of $3.48.
No matter what I say to them, they refuse to even consider the possibility that the mistake is theirs. This is horrible customer service! If I thought that there was a chance the mistake was mine, I'd gladly accept the responsibility. I'm highly disappointed in how they handle their customer service. And as of now, I will never be a Macy's customer again, which is their loss, since I was planning on spending a good amount of money on a dish set I have only a partial set of.

They called the number listed on my account to tell me my bill was past due. My boyfriend who do not even live with me picks up and they told him my outstanding balance and how much was due. This is a breach of my personal information disclosure. I am pissed off which led my boyfriend and I to have an argument which was none of his business in the first place.

On May 21, 2012, I bought a $100 gift card for Macy’s at Kroger in Hillsboro, Ohio. I went to use it on my way from hosp. at the Beechmont location near Cincinnati.

On March 23, 2012, I ordered a dress which was too small. I returned it in the beginning of April. It is now 8/8/12 and I have yet to receive my credit. I have called at least 25 times. Every time, the representative says they will credit my account and allow 7-10 days for the credit to hit my account. I make a calendar note to check, and there is never a credit to my account. Macy's has sucked the life out of me. I assume they feel I will give up at some point but I just want my credit. It is ridiculous at this point.

Macy's is the only store that refuses to credit back unauthorized charges made by someone without a credit card - but armed with my Social Security number and a forged driver's license. All others have quickly and easily reversed the charges. It is now more than three months. I have filed the police report, the written authorization, and attempted to go into the store. I then found out that Macy's has no in-house place to report fraud. Five phone calls, three trips to the store, four fax authorizations later - but up until yesterday, Macy's fraud department was claiming they hadn't received anything.
There are so many roadblocks that it is clear that Macy's is hoping that that the consumer will just give up and then they will profit by their lax security procedures. In May, I saw that there were unauthorized charges. I notified Macy's immediately. Apparently, by Macy's own admission...no investigation, no seizing of the video tapes - nothing has been done. What is astonishing is that whatever driver's license was presented could easily be discernible as a forgery with the use of a fraud BlueLight (VeriSign), an inexpensive machine. Yet any person without the credit card can walk up to any counter and make a purchase if they have stolen the Social Security number and then make a bogus driver's license.
At this point, I have filed a complaint with the FTC. Given Macy's inconsistent position of failing to aggressively intervene, my experience must not be unique. How many other victims of identity theft just gave up?

We responded to a 6-day Home ad in the Seattle Times.

With the ad in hand, we went to the Macy's in Everett Mall, Everett Washington. When we did not find the item in the ad on display, we asked. The young lady looked all around, looked up stairs, called a manager over. Finally, she told us they did not have that in the store. I pointed out that the ad did not specify “only available in certain stores.” Then, she proceeded to try to interest us in a more expensive set, or a 12-piece set for the same price. It’s definitely false advertising and an attempt at bait-and-switch to a lesser 'deal' or a higher-priced 'deal'. We left telling them we were only interested in the items in the ad and that we were going to Bed Bath & Beyond. Macys.com also does not have the 24-piece set advertised.

I had signed up for a Macy's card to purchase a pair of shoes at discount. I had inquired at obtaining the card, "can I pay from Canada easily?" I was told this is a non-issue. I have since tried 3x to pay my account by sending checks written in USD funds using the payment envelopes provided by Macy's. These checks were not cashed and I was charged late fees. My "deal" shoes are now costing me more if I bought them full price in Canada! I have since called customer service at Macy's to inquire why my checks aren't being cashed & they treated me as though I was at fault. They inquired if I had written in USD funds (I had) and then they recommended I either drive to the USA or get a friend to open a US checking account to pay my bill - these are the most ludicrous recommendations! Macy's should not issue cards to Canadians if we cannot pay!
I have sent my last check by registered mail. Canada Post has confirmed delivery, but my payment has still not been taken from my bank. I am not sure what else to do since late fees are $25/month, which is a significant portion of my original purchase which was only $160, not costing me $210! Any advice on what I can do would be appreciated. However, I now know I will never shop at Macy's when I return to the United States.

This is the second month that Macy's new payment system refuses to pull out my recurring payment. All of my "one-time" payments have been accepted. Macy's however is quick to have their collectors to call the number for the account. They don't identify themselves unless pressed. They are creepy and say odd things as though someone is hiding from them. They start-off harassing individuals instead of being "courteous". So, I don't know why they call it a "courtesy call". It clearly is not a reminder to make a payment. Instead, it is a hassle to take your payment over the phone. I'd rather go in-store to pay than give some creepy person my information over the phone, especially since their "secure" payment system site rejected my recurring payment in the first place!
The first time, they removed the late charge, admitting that it was a system error. This time, they say it's their "policy" to only remove 1 late charge per year. Ridiculous. It's obviously a programming bug. It doesn't like my "account" string or something. It's had my payment listed as "pending" for 2 months! It lets the due date pass, adds a late charge, and lists it as "pending" for the next month! I think someone is hacking the system or something is amiss. I've got money in my account, but Macy's (or those creepy people who seem to have hacked their system) isn't going to get a dime if they keep up these predatorial business practices!

Triple charged for one online purchase: I placed an order with Macy's online (macys.com) and they split my order into several shipments. That's okay. Each time they shipped, they charged my account. After all orders were shipped, the total amount was charged to my account and then Macy's charged my account for the full $800, which is a $1600 charge on my account. This was unnecessary and caused billing issues within my bank as my bank stated there were fraudulent charges on my account, suspending my account then Macy's placed/drafted another $800 charge on my spending account which made the account go into insufficient funds, charging me $35 for each individual transaction plus I now have to switch my account numbers.
I called my bank immediately. They removed the additional 2 full $800 charges as they reviewed each individual charge that was previously placed on the account which added up to the original order amount, which I was fined and paid. I contacted Macy's and they replied that they had to charge the full amount plus the individual amounts as holds on my account to ensure that I had the funds necessary, which I did have, of course. They had no answers as to why I was charged 3 times for one purchase nor did they remove the charges. I'm currently disputing the 2 large charges with my bank as they have already been paid individually and shipped. These large charges were placed after I had already paid, after the funds for each shipment were already paid. This is horrible business and I'll never shop with Macy's again, ever.

We received our statement on December 22, 2011 and that day, I sent them a cheque to cover the full amount. The due date was December 25, 2011 and our cheque was not posted in their accounts dept until January 2012. We then received a notice end of January 2012 claiming we now owed them an additional $95. Yes, they received full payment for our bill but now they wanted all sorts of late fee charges. I am totally befuddled and to add to this, Macy's now tell us that we have been credited $68 but we still owe $25. What sort of math is this?
Macy's should be embarrassed because this is theft to even consider late charges of $95 on a balance of $135. I was threatened if we do not pay up, our credit rating will be affected and the fees will increase. I am so sorry I ever applied for this stupid credit card. I understand Macy's like other stores deal with theft but I just never thought for a moment that it would be reversed and Macy's would do the stealing (Oh yes, they do have fine print and fancy wording to cover up their intent and though they may have to follow up on bigger accounts, just think what major satisfaction there is to go after a trumped charged on a paid up account but maybe this is the training ground for the repo dawg-in-training).
All this has just not been worth the stress and headache it has caused. And the accounts dude I talked with was an empowered company man, but with no authority to just write this crazy charge off. Imagine the man hours spent on this after all the account was paid in full. Staff at Macy's may be helpful but stay away from their credit cards. Please boycott the store if at all possible.

Then, they told me I was on paperless statements and said it was because the last time I made an online payment, they were experiencing some technical difficulties that made my account default to paperless. And a late fee was added to my bill, too. Then, I was really confused when they mentioned I should be receiving my paper statement soon when they just got done telling me I was on paperless. The late fee was adjusted and they said they fixed my account to paper statements by mail.
Again, there’s another call for the same thing today. They're saying again that I'm on paperless. After that call, I checked my Macy’s online account and sure enough I was on paper statement by mail, not paperless. I paid my balance in full as always. Macy's online payments can be very misleading, too. After any online payment that I've ever done, I always get a confirmation sent to me or another window that shows up saying, "Thank you for your payment.” With Macy's online payment, you don't get confirmation or a thank you for your payment. What you get after you accept terms and conditions of payment is that you’re sent back to the beginning and left wondering if your payment went through or not.

Outrageous interest rate - I am a Canadian who shops in the US occasionally when I find myself south of the border. After my 3rd or 4th visit to a Macy's, I finally succumbed to the charms of the clerk and reluctantly completed the Macy's card application to get an in-store discount. I routinely charge to my Macy's card when shopping in the US & pay off the balance in full or overpay before leaving the US. This way I don't have to purchase US funds through my Canadian bank and use snail mail to get the kind folks at Macy's their money in time.
During a recent visit to the US, I completed a whopping purchase of $14.87 and forgot to pay them before flying north. Oops. I waited for my statement. Over a month had passed. I tried calling the good folks at Macy's but apparently they purchased the auto-attendant feature without the option to "dial zero for assistance". Being a Canadian I do not have a social security number so the auto attendant did not recognize me and could not help me. I simply wanted to know where to send the money I owed. I headed off to the Dominican without a monthly statement from Macy's thinking I had missed their billing cycle and a statement would be waiting in my mailbox upon my return.
Shortly after returning from vacation, I received my Macy's statement in the mail. It was due March 3rd; I received it March 12th. Powerless to turn back time, I thought I would overpay the nice folks at Macy's & mailed them a $30 US overpayment the very next day. I guess the mail room at Macy's has become more efficient since last month because I now have my new statement. They have charged me a late payment fee of $14.87 for my $14.87 purchase & a minimum interest charge of $2.00. Guess I didn't overpay them enough; my $30 payment will not cover the new balance of $31.74.
I have now purchased another money order for $40 US which has cost me another $8. I want to make sure they get their money in time this month so I don't incur another 100% late payment fee. I may have to send their payment via courier which will cost me another $28. Boy, this $15 purchase is getting to be expensive. Wish me luck that they get and process my payment in time! Will they charge me 100% late payment fee on my original purchase or on my new balance if they don't get their money in time? Guess I'll stay tuned until next month.
Perhaps Macy's should not issue their US card so freely to Canadians because the only payment method available is in-person or postal service. Or perhaps that's how Macy's makes their money; my little $15 purchase could end up netting them $60 - $80 within a month or two. That's a pretty good return on investment. Sadder still, I can't help but wonder that Macy's is perhaps a contributor to the US economy's sluggish return to economic health. I shudder to think what they are charging their fellow Americans with a much higher balance. My poor sister is south of the border, I feel your pain!

Around 1/12, my 2-year-old granddaughter had a urinary mishap on my mattress that soaked through the cover. I followed the instructions by the letter lest I void the warranty on the mattress from Macy's. Well, lo and behold, they sent me a sub-standard replacement cover that couldn't have cost more than $15. I called and complained. I said I wanted the same cover I had bought originally, so they sent me a terrycloth cover. What a joke. Then they were supposed to come to my house to clean the mattress armed only with a spray bottle (of what?). I could have done that myself, except for fear that if I had tried to clean it myself, it would have voided the warranty on the mattress. Now, after 2 1/2 mos., they show up at the door unexpectedly, on a Saturday, and I turned them away. Soon after that, I get a call that says I refused service and my warranty is void. Beware buying any mattress or furniture at Macy's.

I contacted the Orlando store at the Altamonte Springs and discussed the problem with someone who could hardly speak English and did not understand my problem. I will send the normal payment of $25.00, also the one for February, so the total will be $50.00 and not $75.00 as they say I owe. Deduct the $25.00 late fee. Thank you very much.

In June of 2007, I went to Macy's to buy a pair of glasses, due to the fact that I lost the glasses I had for some time. I had a prescription already written out for them, but I was told that they could not make that prescription. The reason they said they could not do it is because they felt it was old. I was telling them the prescription was written out by my doctor. They basically forced me to do an eye exam, and it was wrong. The reason I say it was wrong is because when I came to pick them up, the first pair was completely off again. They offered to change them after again checking my vision for a second time.
I came back again and again. They were always wrong. The people there told me that I just need to get used to wearing glasses under with the new/wrong prescription. I found the glasses in the cinema, and took them to the optical, and show them to compare the prescription they gave me to the one that I used. They admitted that they were different, but didn't change them. I was told that the glasses I took to them to compare were reading glasses, and that it was dangerous for me to use the prescription that I use for the prior year. I have never really used these glasses, because I can see and read far better with my other glasses.
I can’t see or read well using the glasses they prescribed to me. I took them to my doctor, and they agreed that they were a different prescription, not by much, but they are different. Now I come and I look at my glasses, and they look like glue was coming out from around the frame. I paid for the lens to be thinner. I put transition and anti-glare on them. I was never told by anyone there that these coating wears down. I called Macy's to tell them I bought them there, and that I rarely use them, because I can't see well with them, and the lenses look horrible. I went to an optical, and they said it was the coating. After calling him, he asked me to come to the store. When I got to the store, I spoke to him and he looked me up in the computer, and examined the lenses and agreed he never saw anything like this happen before, and continued to tell me that he could do nothing for me.
I told him I didn't feel it’s fair that you offered the add-on to glasses, but they don't tell you the coating will eventually go bad, and then you could be stuck with glasses you can't use. I have a condition called retinoblastoma. I get treated at the Sloan Kettering for follow ups. All I went there for was to see if you could explain why the coating went bad, and what he could do to help. He basically was indifferent, and again said he isn't doing anything for me. I am now stuck with glasses that cost me close to $500.00 that are useless. I felt that Macy’s was a reputable company, and that I could trust that they would care about their customers, but I guess I was sadly mistaken.

Am I not allowed to return this?" She said, "The bottle is empty.” I said, "It is not empty," and I took it back from her and squirted 6 pumps on my hand.
Then, I said, "I bought it on 12/19, and I have used it twice a day since then. So it can't be empty; however, even if it were empty, I purchased it less than two weeks ago, so I should be able to return it." Then, I got frustrated and said, "Look, just return it and give me my money back. It's not like you can refuse to return it." Aida then got in my face and said, "Excuse me, you don't speak to me that way. Who do you think you are talking to?" I said, "You need to back up and get your finger out of my face. I am speaking to you this way because you are refusing to return a product that I purchased 10 days ago as if it was 6 months ago! I don't understand what the problem is. And by the way, I will be reporting you!" Then Aida said, "Go right ahead. As a matter of fact, I will walk you upstairs." I said, "Okay, let's go." Then Aida said, and I quote, "Actually, haha--they are closed. Too bad for you."
At this point we are arguing and customers are standing around watching. I asked for a manager, but Aida said her manager is not there. I said, "Fine, I will call the corporate office.” Aida said, "You can call whomever you want to call.” I kept asking Aida what Macy's return policy is, but she refused to answer. A couple of other employees came over to see what was going on, and I asked them, "What is Macy's return policy," but they all ignored me and listened to Aida telling them I want to return the serum but the bottom seems empty. The other employee that had come over when Aida was yelling for Beverly interjected, "If an item is less than half full, then we have to damage it out, and it's a loss for us.”
Then I said, "You know what, never mind. Give it back. I will go to another counter.” I then went to Elizabeth **, and an Indian woman returned it for me with no problem. I can't remember her name. I asked her for Aida's manager's name and she told me, "Sharon **, and she will be in tomorrow.” When I got home, I was furious, so I decided to call the corporate office at Macy's Menlo Park. I called and spoke to someone in HR. I explained what happened, and she said she will notify the manager, and have her call me. I also added that Aida lied and told me that the office is closed today, or I would have come upstairs while I was there to return the product.
I also checked the Macy’s website for the return policy on cosmetics, but I couldn't find a special return policy for them. So I called Macy’s customer service number and the rep said, "You should be able to return cosmetics without a problem, and if you have a problem, you can take the item to another Macy's.” I responded, "I understand you are trying to help me, but do you realize how ridiculous that sounds? You are basically telling a customer to inconvenience themselves and drive to another Macy's."
So the question is, does the Dior counter at Macy's Menlo Park have a separate return policy that they enforced above the standard Macy's policy? Did the counter manager, Beverly, inform her employees to call her to the counter whenever a customer returns certain items? Perhaps higher priced cosmetics? Why did I have to be publicly humiliated in an effort to return an item I purchased 10 days ago? Are Macy’s employees in the habit of violating Macy’s Inc. written business practices and store policies in order to achieve sales goals? I would like answers to these questions.
I would just like to say that I have never been treated so horribly by any store. Aida spoke to me as if I and my business meant nothing to her, and I was someone on the street. Since the incident, I have been in distress, experiencing shortness of breath, chest pains, shaky hands, and an inability to sleep--perhaps because I can’t stop thinking about it and feel as though the issue is unresolved. I have read over Macy’s "Business Practices" page and Aida violated this in every way imaginable. We were two seconds away from a physical altercation over a return, and we would have actually had a physical altercation had I pushed Aida’s hand out of my face. If Macy’s employees do not agree with, or refuse to enforce your return policy, they should not be working in the store.
It is time for this lady to be dealt with. Personally, I think termination is in order. The humiliation I experienced was both unnecessary and unbelievable, and now health issues are arising. I would like to know why the associate didn’t just take the product, process the return, and send me on my way.

While shopping, a clerk convinced me to open a Macy's charge. It was done through a cash register. Never did the clerk tell me I was signing for a Macy's and American Express card. I did not want an American Express card with a $10,000 line of credit. When I went to a store to pay the balance on my account and turn in the cut up card, the clerk told me she could take the payment but not the card. I had to call the # on the card to cancel it. It took 10 minutes on the phone to reach a human to cancel the card and since "Allison" could barely speak English, I could not make her understand how deceived I was Macy's nor could I speak to someone her superior. She pretended not to understand and mysteriously my call was dropped.

In November, I bought a dress for a b-day party but I was ill and did not examine the dress and then on Christmas eve, I took the dress out to wear it and that is when I noticed that the frills on the dress had started to scatter. As I looked closer, I found other fabrics problems. Today, December 26, 2011, I brought the dress for return (no proof of purchase and receipt) and only received 25% of cost I paid. The same dresses were still available. I consider that company would value their name and stand behind their product. They should apologize for the inconvenience and return full cost for the poor quality goods.

We bought a china set from Macy's Atlanta and had it shipped to our home in NC. Two of the plates were broken and I was told we could take it to any Macy's for a replacement. There was no Macy in Wilmington, so, we drove 150 miles to Raleigh NC. We had to visit three stores and finally we were told to mail in the entire dinner set to the Noritake warehouse and claim a refund from them. My question is, who pays me for gas for the drive? For the time wasted? For the shipping charges for an entire dinner set? I will never shop Macy's again.

I placed an order online for a diamond ring on Dec. 14th. A few hours later, I received an email stating something was wrong with my card and therefore my order was canceled. I called and cleared up the matter. I was told I could buy it in store and I could put a hold on the order. I received a reservation number. I went to the store, found the item and purchased it. The in-store rep and I called to cancel the online order. An email was sent to confirm it was cancelled. Macy's sent the ring to my mailbox and charged my account. I already have a ring I paid $1531 for at Macy's and now I was charged two times for something I bought once. I will return the ring ASAP but I now can't use my credit card to buy Christmas gift I planned to buy with the money they took out. My billing cycle ended so I have to pay interest on purchased item on that ring I canceled. The rep told me there is nothing she can do and her manager Joe (at Macys.com) is busy.
