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!

Very Poor Customer Service in Waikiki - The sales personnel would rather stand around and badmouth another employee than help the customers. I walked out disgusted after listening to the petty gossips and being ignored. I manage a retail store in Vegas and if I saw any of my employees doing that, they'd be out of there.

I was at the Macy’s at the Galleria Mall in Fort Lauderdale, 2414 E Sunrise Blvd, on Tuesday, March 12 at approx. 4:00pm. 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? Anyway, that's the last time I shop at Macy’s and my advice to them is bad news travels faster than good.

Three times I ordered a specific Calvin Klein belt. Three times they sent me the wrong belt. After the first two times, I told the rep that the shipping department needed to look at the photo of the belt I wanted. They sent me the wrong belt again. Customer service never gets back to you as promised. Macys.com has lost a good customer.

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.

Macy's has horrible service and can cause major issues with their ridiculous billing practices. They make errors, refuse to fix them or make restitution. Large errors are not worth the hassles of this card and the headaches you will have talking to their customer care line. Stay away and tell your friends! They even wanted to charge a fee for closing my account in frustration after wasted attempts to find reason in this unsavory business. Shame on you, Macy's!

It has been a long time since I've been a regular Macy's customer. I recently ordered an area rug that I thought would be nice since the regular price of it was $600+ but I purchased it for almost half price. I thought what a deal! Not! 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 wouldn't put it past them! I have already donated my gift card and I will never again be purchasing anything from Macy's! I can't even begin to say how disappointed and angry I am with this entire ordeal!

Remaining balance on gift card received through MasterCard points went to zero. Fortunately, I used all but $35 of a $250 card but theft is theft. Macy's customer service is anything but. A simple review of purchases via the card would reveal the truth but reaching someone, let alone having them make any effort to help, is impossible. This company has lost its way.

Better hope you don't have any customer service issues. If you can even locate the Customer Service phone number, you will get a rep located in another country (I asked her) and hope she can understand you because you certainly can't understand her English. Forget about getting an issue resolved. I never did get resolution. I will return at my expense.

A couple months ago, I returned a merchandise ordered online by mail. A few weeks later, I received a gift card in the amount of the returned items. 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. IMO, that is fraud and at the very least, I was lied to! I don't have the time or extra money to deal with this, but thought I should warn others. I have lost all trust in Macy's.

I personally think this message was sent because I have an incurable disease and am dying. I have paid for Macy's American Express Credit Protection plan ever since they took over from Visa and started billing me for it every month. I never was asked if I wanted it, but I paid it. Now that I have put in a claim for the help promised, I find that they don't want to do anything to help me, claiming, "You haven't had it long enough". I have referred this all to my attorney and am waiting for whatever will happen next. I will not shop at Macy's any longer.

I wanted to pay off my credit card by phone. I was told, in order to do this, I had to pay $14.95 to do so. Really? A one last shot at squeezing more money out of me not to mention the fact that this so-called "American" company is anything but that?! Every time you call customer service, you're obviously not speaking to anyone in America. I can't even understand their customer service reps. This is what an American company does in a time when unemployment is on the rise in this country. It's despicable. I absolutely refuse to pay $14.95. I'm sure now that I paid it through my bank account, I'll get another statement claiming I owe for interest charges. Guess what? I'm not paying that either. As for the people who had their security tags left on their clothing, yep, it happened to me too. I had to go all the way back to the store and not a credit, not a coupon; I got nothing for being inconvenienced. Stay away from this store! There are plenty of other stores out there online that you can get bargains on.

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. How can this possibly be legal? I have now closed my Macy's account and I will not be shopping at Macy's in the future. Macy's can also be assured that I will definitely be contacting the Attorney General and the BBB over this!

My Macy's account was hacked. A purchase was made, my account information was changed and a package was shipped to the NH. Macy's never sent me a statement of the purchase and late fees nor did they formally notify me their intent to report to the credit agencies. Now, my credit is affected and they have made it very clear that it will take months for them to fix this. It will take them at least 48-72 hours to even recognize that I faxed them the required documents to dispute this charge. Macy's apparently does not adhere to the consumer protection laws and apparently felt it was not necessary to notify me they would be doing this. Now, I have to spend my time trying to get this corrected and all I get from their representatives is a bunch of attitude and long wait times, put on hold, transferred around different departments and a bunch of excuses as to why this is going to take forever to fix.

Today was the worst day that someone ever treated me in any store (by one of Macy's employees). I went to Macy's in Douglaston, NY at 12:35PM to return a Lancome perfume, which I bought two and I'll return one. I first asked one of the employees where can I return, and she pointed to the Lancome perfume. I stepped by and waited until the the person who was in the counter noticed that I was there. The music was loud; she was dancing and singing with some paper in her hand. After I explained to her that I was there to return, with the receipt in my hand and handed it to her, she yelled loudly and asked me for the gift. I got scared and ashamed. I said, "Yes, it was a blue tube that I don't even know how or what to use for." I apologized to her but instead, she talked to me very loudly.
I told her, "If you show me the blue tube, I'll pay for that and I'll be back to return it later because I don't even use it." I just went to return something which I bought as a Christmas gift and she let me feel like I was stealing. Or maybe because I'm Spanish and she thought that I didn't know English. Was she right for yelling? I didn't even get her name, but I'll never buy any perfume especially from Douglaston.

I purchased a Macy's gift card from our local Walgreens for a Christmas present for a family member. When they went to use the card, they were told the card was not activated. I took the card and receipt back to the Walgreens (who do not refund gift cards) and the Walgreens manager phoned the number on the back of the card, and tried to work with a Macy's supervisor to resolve the issue. Ultimately, Macy's will not honor the card and told the Walgreen's manager that the reason was because in these cases, it is typically fraud. I'm out $50. I highly recommend no one purchase a Macy's gift card because you may well be throwing your money away.

This dealership is a disgrace. They tell you a price in the beginning to get you in the door and once you're in, get ready for a ride of your life. After you have signed your so-called deal, they will let you know after about these little hidden fees that are added on to the additional price. They also badmouth other dealerships, which in my opinion is very unprofessional. They need to talk bad about others to make them look better? I will never go back there again and I am warning others to stay away. You can get a better deal for your buck at Chevy 112. They helped me every step of the way and they also have no fees! Please do yourself a favor and take the easy route because we all know how difficult car buying can be.

I purchased earrings online for my girlfriend for her birthday. They came in damaged and missing a stone. After trying to make an exchange, I saw the rest of the earrings were also damaged. 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 feel like Macy's is holding my money hostage at this point. Oh and the $50 that the manager gave me, I am donating. I will never ever do business with Macy's again. Not even for free money. Hope they are happy! I've been shopping there for years. Goodbye Macy's!

I went to Macy's a few months ago and noticed a pair of Tahari shoes, not on sale, for $98. So, I waited for them to go on sale. So after a few more weeks, they got marked down to $69. 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? From sold out to all available the minute the sale is over. Now all $69 again, above what I wanted to pay. So, I waited a week to see if they went all sale again. Yesterday I saw the Wednesday sale. Tuesday preview advertised again, but no mention of shoes so I didn't take any notice. I checked the site and they had the 20% off, not the 25% that I wanted. I checked the Tahari shoes and they were still all there. All the sizes. All the colors. So on Tuesday, I went on the site again and guess what? The shoes were suddenly all gone again except for the vanilla, my last color choice.
It seems the minute they have a sale, they take some merchandise off and put it back again when the sale was over. I called customer service last week and told the person who answered the phone my issue. She said, "I would be happy to take your order for the shoes for $69 if I would like them." I said, "No, thank you. I want them for the $52 sale price." I told her the minute the sale is over, they will be suddenly back again. Macys.com, no wonder you disappoint so many people with your games. I am going to find and buy my shoes somewhere else, not waiting for your stupid sale so you can make the shoes suddenly disappear again and come back when the sale is over. How many other people have this issue with Macy's?

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.

When I got home and tried the bag on shoulder, it hurt my shoulder extremely bad having fabro/arthritis and have a handicap plaque because of my disabilities. 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. I am asking Consumer Affairs to help me get these boots as advertised on their website.

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.

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.

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. When they scratched off the numbers, I was told I had zero balance. I called Macy’s and was told it was used in California.

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?

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.

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.

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.

The wonderful person then spent 20 minutes being transferred from department to department at your New York location (Herald Square).

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.

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.

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 have been a credit card holder with Macy's since they bought out Burdine's. I was with Burdine's since 1988 and never had an issue, etc. When I received my March statement, they said I did not send a payment for February so they were charging me a late fee of $25.00 and my March payment would be $75.00 instead of the normal amount of $25.00. 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.

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.

On Saturday, Dec 17th 2011, my father, mother, and I, went to Macy'sat Memorial City Mall in Houston, TX to make a few purchases. We went to the men's shoes department to purchase a pair of shoes for my father. We never were greeted or asked if we needed assistance. I figured it's holiday season, and there were many people there, so I overlooked it, but still not a reason. Anyway, we looked around for a specific shoe my dad of 69 years had in mind. We managed to find what he was looking for, so I went to one of the representatives, and asked for my dad's shoe size. He took the shoe, went to the back, and came back, first, asking us to find the other shoe, because the shoe size we asked for was not in the box, so it had to be out in display. Secondly, he then asked if we knew what we were looking for, because apparently, after looking for the missing shoes, they were out of the shoe size, and was the wrong color.
I asked if he can contact another Macy's to possibly see if that shoe/size was available elsewhere. The rep tells us he could look, but if we were able to go to another Macy's, drive around looking for those shoes, giving the impression that we weren't car owners, because of our ethnicity. He also said, if he looks in the system there's not a guarantee the shoes will be there, because the system is not a sure thing. I told him, "well, can you call them to make sure, and if the shoes are available at another Macy's, then to place the shoes on hold, and we would go get them that night". He said no. I told him we've done it on another occasion, but the rep got defensive, and says, "is this a trick question? If you know already, then why are you asking". We have shopped at Macy's, way before Macy's was Foley's, and for my father to get all his shoes there, and have to be treated in that manner was so unacceptable.
The rep's name is Robert, he was working the shoes department at Memorial City Mall in Houston, TX, on Saturday, December 17, 2011, at about 6-8. His lack of customer service and discourtesy, was just way out of line. He made us rethink of purchasing anything from Macy's again. Ending the terrible trip, I told my parents let's go, and didn't return.

Never buy from Macy's online. In late October, I ordered 4 Dockers pants online, 1 green and 3 tan. At the end of the order, it said that, "The order would be shipped in 32 days." I thought it was a typo, and ordered it. Lo and behold, it was really 32 days. Then about 2 weeks later, I got the green one. Then an additional 1 week later, I got an email from them saying that the rest of my order is cancelled due to the product being a cancelled item. Yes, my 3 pants are all same style, same size. The pants were on sale when I ordered it at $34.99 and since it's over certain amount, I got free shipping. Now they said that they were not available anymore.
But the problem is that the pant is still listed on their site, online or in the store. But this time, Macy's is selling each pair for $60 dollars online. So I called the number and complained, and then I was able to order it for 40% off (but they would sell me only 1 pair of pants at that price).
Now, 10 days since this second order, Macy is claiming that the product is in back order and they will ship to me on December 29, 2011. I made the order November 14, 2011. Macy's already charged my credit card.

I am very disappointed with the service I received on November 17th, 2011. I had previously received a late fee due to non-receipt of my statement. When I called in a few weeks ago, I was told that it's not Macy's problem that I didn't get my statement. Which okay, I can understand that it's not really my fault, but it's not really your fault. The representative took the time to educate me that my payment date will always be the same. I was not aware that my payment would always be the same every month, I thought that it change based on the days in the month and the way the cycle fell, but they told me it's now. So, I said great! Now that I know this, I will never be late again. I have set a recurring reminder prior to the 13th to always make my payment regardless if I receive a statement or not. The representative agreed to credit my account of the late fee as a courtesy, which they did and told me it would be removed from my bill.
I deducted the credit from my minimum payment and made my payment. To my surprise, I looked at my bill this month and what did I see? A $35.00 late fee. I checked my account history and sure enough, I saw that I made my payment not only on time, but early. I called Macy's to see why did I get this late fee? I spoke to a supervisor regarding the situation because I want to understand how this happened. The supervisor told me that although I paid on time, I was short of meeting the minimum due.
I explained how I didn't get my statement, I spent like 45 minutes on the phone a few weeks ago to get all of this straightened out and that last time I called, they credited me the late fee and told me it would be deducted from my bill. Now, the supervisor told me that it will be deducted from my bill on the next statement and that I am not allowed to deduct it from my payment. Well, that's great information. That should have been told to me when I was given the credit.
I asked her why I wasn't educated on this policy or process and explained that I didn't understand that it is the way it worked and she can see that I made my payment early, clearly deducted the amount of the credit. I told her that I don't think that's right and I feel like I should get a credit for the late fee and an exception should be made. The supervisor kindly told me that it is not the job of the account representatives to educate me. Now, this was where I was surprised. I, too, am in the customer service/call center industry. I can never imagine it being the goal of any company I work for to not educate the customer. I said okay, maybe it's not "the job" of the account representative, but shouldn't it be the goal to educate the consumer who is giving their business to your company? No, wrong again. she educated me that it is not really their goal. Now this has me thinking, was this whole thing a set up?
If it isn't the goal or job to educate me, then what is it? Is the hope that I won't know the way the policy works and set myself up for yet another fee? So here, Macy's did this great favor for me, the consumer, and gave me a courtesy credit only to set me up for another fee that they know they won't credit. Ahh, I see. They will get their money somehow, won't they? I mean, I hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but this must be it right? You don't want to educate me but you don't want to have understanding for the consumer's misunderstanding when lack of information was provided by the Macy's account representative. To top off my delightful experience, the supervisor hung up on me.

Macy's was the first credit card for a store that I had ever had. Second to it was rob may. As a long time holder, they had extended my credit limit so I purchased furniture. The purchase was based on my credit limit but because it was a "big" purchase, sub accounts were made that had no variable interest or promotional interests that differed from the primary credit account. I did not sign anything that authorized the creation of a sub-account. If I was disclosed the creation of a sub account, things would have been a lot cleaner. However, when you go into the store to make a last minute payment in cash, cashiers do not differentiate accounts. Therefore, its ridiculously easy to have late payments---which occurred to me. So having said this, they closed my accounts after 60 day delinquent (I was lost as ever having to call in and see what the hell occurred) and they reported it to the credit agencies as 4 closed accounts.
