This was the best experience we have ever had in purchasing a mattress from the buy at Fair Oaks with Scott as our associate. Scott sent us a gift certificate. So thoughtful. Then the delivery could not have been better. The two delivery guys, German and Ismall arrived on time, after calling. They were outstanding in that they followed instructions on how we wanted the bed setup and they also took care in making certain not to damage or break anything in the house when they had to move the mattresses. They cleaned up and made sure to show how to use the remote. They are the best!

It's holiday season and the Online returns and pick up section has a broken register and 2 people working. Line is about 20 people deep and moving slowly. I wait online 41 minutes holding 2 large boxes wondering why I opted for store pickup. I'm now 4 in line and the clerk asks who has returns. I am the only one with a return. I leave the line, put my boxes on counter and tell her I also have a pick up. She informs me that she can only do returns. So I have to get back in line for both! I get back in line and wait some more. Meanwhile, she takes the next person and is doing a pickup! When it's my turn I ask her why she couldn't do my pick up. She gives me some lame excuse. What kind of management is going on? I ask to speak to her Mgr, which she tells me she is not in. I cancel the rest of my Macy's shopping and decided to spend my coins elsewhere.

I will NEVER shop Macy's again. I placed an on-line order on 11/23/18. Was informed it was in transit to UPS 11/28/18. Today is 12/12/18 and have not received. Three phone calls later no one seems to know how something can be in transit for 2 weeks. Item is now not available to reship so only option is a credit. This is extremely poor customer service and one of the reasons Macy's will not survive. No other options were not given to me after wasting at least 2 hours on this order.

I visited Macy's in Mentor, Oh. The associate waited on me was very nasty and racist. I reported to a manager, Natalie, she were to call me back, never did. I've been a customer for more than 20 years, I deserve better Service. Probably will stop shopping at Macy's. Very unhappy customer!!! PS. Will spend my money where I'm appreciated.

Worst customer service experience I've ever had. On the phone for 1 hour and 6 minutes as a courtesy to your company about a fraud charge on my credit card in the amount of $217.00 using my MACY'S WALLET. I have deleted my credit card info and changed my password. That lets me know that your website is not secure. My bank has been notified and card canceled and fraud reported but thought I could do a favor and let your company know the info. I finally hung up after being asked the same thing 4 times by the 4th person I was transferred to. So much for trying to do something good for your company. I guess you will be shipping the merchandise to the person that performed credit card fraud.

I purchased an Instapot during the Black Friday sale and a pair of 10/100 ct diamond earrings were supposed to be added to the order for free. I added the earrings to my cart which reflected a $0 dollar balance. I submitted my order and the Instapot and my credit card was charged and the earrings were removed from the order when the receipt was emailed to me. The Instapot was delivered but the earrings never arrived.
I called Macy's customer support line more than 10 times at this point. I have waited more than 10 minutes each time to speak with someone. Their support team is usually based in another country and their reps continue to explain that they cannot help me OR they put me hold for 15 minutes or more and never come back to the line or place me on hold and hang up the line. The moment their support team realizes it's not a new order, they disappear from the line. The way that I am being treated as a long-time customer is as frustrating as it is shocking. I cannot believe that Macy's support is this terrible.
I was sold an appliance based on an advertisement that Macy's did not fulfill and there is absolutely no way to receive any help.I have spent an average of 40 minutes on the phone more than 10 times and the calls typically end with the call becoming static as their reps tend to abandon the call. I have also tried calling stores to hopefully speak with a manager. I have tried this 3 times and each time I am put on hold for more than 30 minutes until I give up and try to call.
This is completely unacceptable and is a horrible way to treat their customers. Their phones trees do not allow you to speak with anyone and if you do get someone on the line, it's a rep that will abandon the call as soon as you explain it's not a new sale. I'll remember this moving forward for all of my future purchases. I can't trust Macy's.

Racism in Action (MACY’S WILLOWBEND MALL IN PLANO, TX): People of color; please stay away from this Macy’s. I am a cardholder and I am gainfully employed as an educator. I went into the Macy’s in the Willowbend mall in Plano to buy pajamas. I had several in my hand as I did not know which one would fit the way that I wanted to. I also looked in the Nike section of the store for other items that I may have wanted. My husband and brother in law were also there along with my young son. We went up to the register by the Nike section and asked for a price check from an employee who later told me her name was Ci **. She scanned the jacket and told us that Nike is always regular price. We showed her the sign that was on top of the rack in which I had gotten the merchandise.
My husband asked her to scan the Nike pants to see if they were on sale. Ci ** refused several times and after the last time she reluctantly scanned it for us- lo and behold they were on sale. I did not want to give her a sale so I took all of my items with me to the children’s department to look for a dress shirt for my young son. We were not in the children’s department but for 5 minutes or so before the PA system said, “SECURITY TO THE CHILDREN’S DEPARTMENT”. We were the only people in the section that we were in at the time and instantly we felt offended. Why was security called over the PA system as soon as we went into the section? We looked at each other and continued to look. The Macy’s security came over to the door that was near the section that we were looking in and stood right near the door. Guess who comes over to the kiosk in that same department but Ci **. I was instantly livid.
First of all, how embarrassing was that to call security over the PA system for 3 people. I was the only one with merchandise in my hand and I had more than enough money to pay for the things that I had in my hand. I went over to the security and asked him why he had been called over to this department. I told him that I did not want to steal anything in their store and that I had a credit card from Macy’s and money to buy whatever I wanted. I asked him if this was protocol, then why did I not see any security at any other door in Macy’s. From the moment I started shopping Ci ** was eyeballing and following me around the store. How is that NOT racial profiling?
I went to the kiosk and asked for a manager. I explained to the nice lady at the counter (who also happened to be an educator) and I explained what had happened to her. She did not have an answer as to why that happened either. She said that maybe that called them because she was the only one at the kiosk. There was another lady with her the entire time and rude Ci ** just magically appeared at this same register. I overheard her say that she was on break. What employee goes and sits at a kiosk while they are on a short break. Mind you- there were several people who had been looking in that department earlier when I walked by and yet there was no security standing at the door to check their things. I spoke to a rude manager named Vic who shrugged his shoulders at the entire thing. I explained the horrible customer service that we had received from Ci ** as she continued to butt into our conversation.
Vic was not helpful at all and he seemed to not care at all. He said that he did not hear the security called as he was downstairs. It came over the PA system and I don’t understand how he could not hear it. I worked in retail in college and security is normally called over a phone or walkie-talkie. I NEVER called them over the PA system unless it was an emergency. What emergency was happening in the children’s department? Oh, I know-- SHOPPING WHILE ** WITH A RUDE EMPLOYEE WHO HAD BEEN FOLLOWING ME AROUND THE STORE. I left ALL of my merchandise on the counter and I told them that I would be going to the Macy’s in Frisco where they know how to treat EVERY customer no matter what their HUE. BOTTOM LINE: Horrible customer service, not apologetic for any of the embarrassing treatment that we received. That was the most DEGRADING experience that I have had in my life.

I recently purchased over $2000.00 of furniture from Macy's. A customer service took my order over the phone and told me that the my purchases qualify for 1 year no interest on my Macy's credit card. Now I'm receiving Macy's bill with interest charge on it. I called Macy's and this next customer service is now telling me, that my purchase was not qualify for no interest and they can't do anything about it. This is completely misleading customers to buy from Macy's. I know all their phone conversations are recorded and I've asked them to pull it up to hear what was told to me. Now I'm stuck with this. If someone can guide me what to do I really appreciated it. Macy's this is horrible for you to do this to customers.

I ordered a Lancome skincare set with several free gifts for my birthday. When the product didn't arrive by the 3 December shipment date, I called customer service to get the new delivery date and was told the product had shipped. Two days later, when I entered the shipment tracking number in the UPS database, the message said to check back later because the package had not been delivered to UPS. During several conversations with the customer service representatives between 5 December and 10 December, I was told the following in this order:
"The scheduled delivery date is 3 December (Me: I know but that was several days ago); the package has shipped (Me: ok, so when was it shipped?); We can't ship the items because the gifts are no longer in stock (Me: but I was told several days ago that the package had shipped); You can cancel the order and we'll refund your money. (Finally on or about 6 December I requested a refund.)"
Between 8 December and 10 December, I inquired about my refund because I am so done with Macy's and was subsequently told the following: "You can't cancel, the items have shipped, but you can reject the items when they're delivered." (Me: But I canceled the order because you said the gifts were no longer available. Please refund my money!) My birthday has long passed, and three calls later to customer service, the saga with Macy's continues. They told me today that the order had not been canceled. (Me: My head hurts, just credit my money back to my account!) No products and no refund. Going on three weeks! Terrible online experience. Will never order from Macy' again!

On Thanksgiving I purchased a Tarte Eyeshadow set for 19.50. One week later, I receive an email from Macy's saying the item is backordered and will ship on 1/2/19 and they would be more than happy to cancel the order for me. I decide to wait to see if the item will ship - it was a Christmas gift. Today, 12/8, I check online and the item is in stock and available for order at $33.50. My order is on backorder until 1/2/19.
I tried online chat - that is down. I called customer service and waited 33 minutes for a non-English speaking customer service agent. This person understood my problem and said that in order to fix it, he would have to cancel my original order and purchase again and then give me a price adjustment for the old price. While he was working on it, the call gets disconnected - not by me! The agent never called me back. He did however cancel my order for 19.50. Terrible customer service and online experience. I will never buy from them again.

Wow, I thought I was the only one with Macy's online. I had purchased riding boots online and had them shipped to the Macy's store. Hindsight being 20/20, I should have opened the box in the store. As soon I got home, I opened the box only to find a beat up box with a customer return sticker on the box. The kicker is the boots were the wrong style, size and company. I immediately called customer service, it took a while but the rep stated she would mail the correct boots in 2 business days (Thanksgiving) and to return the Defective boots to Macy's. Thursday, Thanksgiving, I called customer service for the tracking number. I spoke to two people because the first guy said it would take 7-10 days.
The "supervisor" said the first rep misspoke. So ok, I wait and nothing... So I call customer service again, this time, the rep says there was no order and said just order them online. I'm leaving out the fact that there is a huge language barrier which added to my frustration and probably there's as well. Long story short, I told them that I was the customer and needed to be made whole and delighted. So, I was sent to another woman who tried to make me feel like I was trying to get something for free. I told her that I didn't want the $30 gift card. Frustrated, she asked me what I wanted, told her the boots that I paid for. She seemed surprised but by the time she processed the order, the boots were gone.

I purchased Giorgio Glam 3.4oz Fragrance from Macy's which had a rebate. I submitted my claim in their claim form along with copy of invoice and UPC code. Now I received an email rejecting the claim with reason there is no UPC code and asking me to send again. This is just harassing the customer and refusing to honor the offer. They insist on sending the documents by mail and do not accept email. Who has the time energy to do this hassle full procedure repeatedly. Overall a terrible experience with Macy's.

Difficult to return the product. There is no option of picking up the product from the customer if the mistake is from Macy's not customer. The wrong item was received and while returning the Macy's store was too far. I did not get the product I ordered at end. It was not anymore at the site. I purchase at the time of Thanksgiving sale. Because they provided wrong product, I could not receive my actual order.

I tried to resolve a problem over the phone. Took four hours before I got to speak to a knowledgeable person. I went to the store and unfortunately the woman I spoke to was not in that day. I did try calling to see if she was going to be there but again no one answers the phone. And if they do & try to transfer you they disconnect you. Their ladies' room is atrocious. Door locks broken. No place to hang your purse. No more shopping bags. Can never find an associate to help you. Have been a customer for 60 years. Closed my account today!

Wow! I can't believe what a horrible experience I have had! I placed an order on 11/24 and as of 12/1 the order was still being processed. I reached out to customer service and after waiting on hold for over 20 minutes, I spoke with a rep who stated that she could not explain why the order was still processing. She suggested that I should just “wait a couple days” to see if I get a confirmation email that the product was shipped... Really?!? Thanks for the help! I then asked to speak with a supervisor in hopes that I could get a better answer and was transferred God knows where as the phone rang over 50 times with no answer.
Needless to say I hung up and called right back. Again, I was on hold for over 20 minutes and spoke with another rep, who pretty much stated the same thing as the last one and again I requested a supervisor. This time I was transferred to a supervisor after being on hold for another 3 minutes. The supervisor stated that he could but in a request for an update and that I should get a response, via email, within 4-5 hours. Guess what, no update! I then sent a complaint to the customer service dept via their website and it's now 12/4 and still no response!! Nice to know that they care so much about their customers!! Needless to say, I will NEVER shop at Macy’s again. I work way too hard for my money and the aggravation is not worth it!!

2 orders of 4000 CAD in total. Super bad shopping experience. Felt fraud-ed. I wanted to cancel an order. I contacted customer service with 30 minutes and I was told it was cancelled. The second day I contacted Macy's customer service again to ensure the order was cancelled and I was told multiple times that the order was cancelled. I asked for a cancellation letter and the customer representative told me, "It's done but I can't give you the letter because it's from system. I'm sure it's done." Then guess what? The order wasn't cancelled! I feel like I got cheated by 2 customer representatives.
I called back. The third customer representatives told me that the order can only be cancelled in the shipping process. I called back during the shipping process. Guess what? It can't be cancelled right now and I need to wait longer to reject the delivery! What the heck is Macy's doing? I just wanna simply buy and go.

Purchased an item on a Cyber Monday sale at a great price. Waited about 3 days with no notification on shipment. Checked the order status and it is now saying it is backordered and will not ship until December 20th which means this holiday "deal" is NO DEAL. No way this would arrive in time for a Christmas gift. Macy's website shows it in stock as of TODAY and I never received a notification of a problem. They could have really ruined someone's Christmas.
When I called customer service and asked why the item was not showing as backordered on their website when I ordered or even today, they would only reiterate that it was "back-ordered" and told me it was my responsibility to check back constantly to make sure the item was in stock. Really? They blamed me for not checking the status earlier because of their lack of communication. What I believe is they lowered the price too much and regretted it which means they are ruining the timing of the delivery of this item for anyone who ordered it at the online price. Crooks.

On Cyber Monday, I purchased 4 curtain panels which shipped promptly and arrived the next day. When I opened the box and each plastic zipper cases, the curtains were poorly constructed with bumpy hems and different colors of black and white thread used on taupe panels. Therefore I went to Macy’s furniture where a very well dressed but awful customer service was fished out by an employee. He said the only way to return the product was call the 800 number. He said he had no storage for items like the curtains. I had once worked for Macy’s and told him customer service was important and as an employee I helped customers return products bought online.
I repeated that twice and he grunted at me. This really made me angry. I went to the lobby and called the 800 number but after being on hold 10 minutes, I decided to go across the street to the regular Macy’s. There the two ladies in customer service were kind and helpful. The return was easy. They also helped me find well constructed curtains at a great price. Kudos to these ladies, but I won’t buy furniture across the street from the rudest and laziest salesman I’ve ever met. His name was Clifford.

I must say the over the phone customer service has been absolutely terrible. I placed an order recently for 3 jackets, one size XL, and two size L. When I realized that I had purchased the two size L jackets in the wrong size, I called the customer service line. I explained to the representative over the phone that I wanted to do an exchange so the two size L jackets can be switched to a size XL. He explained that he would be able to do it for me.
When the phone call ended I checked my bank account, I realized that the representative I had spoken to didn't exchange my items at all. He actually charged me for a separate transaction of the two jackets size XL. I immediately called Macy's again to get things straightened out. I spoke to another representative on the phone, who clearly had no idea what she was doing or what I was trying to explain to her. She kept cutting me off as I was trying to speak to her about the situation. Her final response to me was that someone from the Macy’s credit department would be contacting me within the hour. 5 hours passed by with not one phone call, or even an email.
I decided to then give this another try and call the Macy's customer service line again. As I was speaking to a representative for the third time now, in hope that this problem can finally be mitigated, the representative either hung up on me, or the call somehow ended from the Macy's service line. I have been misunderstood, charged a separate transaction, and disrespected by the Macy's customer service line while still managing to not mitigate my initial problem whatsoever. I asked for a response email when I wrote a complaint to Macy's, but even then that seems like it's asking for too much from such an incompetent staff.

Updated on 12/02/2018: Today is 12/2/18 & Macy's is still showing item will arrive on 12/4/18 and UPS shows it has NEVER been shipped. This is coming from a 3rd party vendor and I'm assuming the hair care products are COUNTERFEIT, as the bottles are different from the manufacturer's own website. The MAGIC OF MACY'S HAS TURNED RANCID. This was a company I trusted for quality & service, not anymore.
Original Review: I just discovered that Macy's is now like Amazon & Walmart. They are allowing 3rd party sellers. On 11/21/18 I placed an order. A hold was placed on my card, no problem. On 11/26/18 I haven't heard the order was shipped so I checked the status. The status said the item would not even be shipped until 11/28/18, 2 days away. I phoned the offshore call center & that was a waste of time.
Here's what Macy's website says about online orders. Does this make sense to you? "You have 30 minutes to change or cancel your order after you have placed it. However, if you have chosen to Buy Online, Pick Up In Store OR use Same-Day Delivery, you only have 15 minutes to change or cancel your order." Macy's had a deal on the hair products I use. I now suspect the price is so low because it's a fake product... My local store is great! With a friendly & efficient staff but I won't give Macy's any more of my $$$. I know they don't care. I don't care either. I have many, many options.

Should expect refund in 3/5 business days. Where I am from that is fraud. Advertising items that you never had, taking people’s money and they sent me a coupon as a sorry but only good after all sales since doesn’t work on sales items. I told them I am canceling the other orders I made. Can’t wait to see if they can get items since they sell things they don’t have and have no commitment to have from any said distribution center. Funny thing is my bank flag them as a fraud. I said Macy’s. Apparently they knew before I did. They have forever lost me as a customer, let them go up like Sears.

So I ordered Apple 4 watch Cyber Monday. Watch was back ordered - told me to cancel order. Tried to cancel and told me I cannot cancel - have to wait for vendor. Even though I received email that told me to cancel and I would not be charged. Now I have 426 dollars withdrawn from account and cannot get my money back. Trying to chase you down to get my money. What a joke. Macy’s is a complete scam. Customer service is a joke. No one talked English. I will never shop from them again. If you wanna get frustrated and deal with con artist order something from them. Also was hung up on 3 times and 1 hour 32 min I will never get back of my life.

Ordered a coat from you on the 21st of Nov in the CORRECT size I wanted... received the WRONG SIZE as you clearly didn’t have the size I wanted in stock. After a lengthy and time wasting conversation with customers' care, surprise surprise.

Ordered 2 Apple watches on November 21st. The cost was $199. Same offer at other stores, but since I knew I’d ordered what I wanted, I didn’t purchase anywhere else. Glad to have my order taken care of. Flash forward to November 24. Order arrives with 1 watch. Called customer service and was told “sorry, there are no more watches. All we can do is refund you.” I skipped the other businesses because I’d already “purchased” the items I wanted. No effort to make good on the order. So now I’m stuck having to pay $50 more for the same item I could have bought somewhere else on BF. I will NEVER shop at any Macy’s again. Be aware that just because you order something and pay for it, doesn’t mean you’ll receive it. I caution you not to shop at Macy’s.

I ordered a Michael Kors handbag online from Macy's on Black Friday. After two days from placing the order when I track order it says canceled. When chatted with the support, I was given an answer that the product is not available. Why let people buy it when the product itself is not available. Right now all the stores are sold out or the selection is now very limited. Macy's did not fulfill what they advertised, wasted my time, and cost me a lot of money as I have to find a product that is far costlier on normal days. Chatting with support was not useful either.

Every Christmas I buy a cashmere sweater on the Black Friday sales. The few years I have done this online, Macy's, Kohl's and a few other retailers have them at a special price, and I usually bought (past tense now) them at Macy's. Thursday night, when the Black Friday sales began, I logged on, made my purchase, and shut down.
Late in the day today, I got an email from the cancelling my order for the sweater. The only thing they offered me was a lousy 25% comp. Why is this lousy? Because I spent hours online comparing the various BF sales, AND now it is the evening of the day following the sale, and the stores are sold out or the selection is now very limited. Macy's advertised this sale well in advance and then emailed me a cancellation Stating the item was discontinued, I say the item was a bait and they did not fulfill what they advertised, wasted my time, and cost me a lot of money as to find a cashmere for this Christmas is going to be a lot more expensive now.

Beyond frustrated with Macy's website. You cannot make a payment (or set up recurring payments) on your Macy's American Express card, ONLY your "regular" Macy's card. So you have to cut a check and mail it off each month. Representative on the phone didn't know why it wasn't an option on the website. Even though I spent $1,000 my Star Rewards balance shows zero, and the customer service rep could not explain why. Everyone is clueless when you call the toll free number.

It seems like this should be illegal to issue a card I never agreed to and definitely did not want! I did not receive notification about this, and junk-mail type communication does not constitute agreement. Since I did not want the Amex, they cancelled my entire account with Macy's, which I have had since 2000. Oh, but I can "re-apply" for a store card - which will also affect my credit rating!!

My bank told me she tried to make a charge for over $160.00 which was more than I had on my debit card. My total I paid for these boots was $29.92. So she did NOT PRICE MATCH as she told me she was doing and made me wait forever on the line for her and she fraudulently tried to charge my credit card for an amount way over what she was authorized by me to make. I had to speak to Fraud Prevention so my card didn't get a security hold. I called Macy's back & explained everything. They no longer offered to reship or price match for me just telling me that if the boots weren't picked up in 7 days I would receive a refund to my card.

It’s quite unthinkable to imagine any company arbitrarily and automatically signing you up for a credit card, but even when you dispute it and refuse it they tell you there’s nothing they can do to undo it. I want to reiterate this because it’s so unconscionable to me, Macy’s arbitrarily signed me up for an American Express credit card WITHOUT MY CONSENT and AGAINST MY CLEAR REQUESTS.
I’ve been very respectful, I've been very patient, but ultimately my rights and my privacy have been violated and trampled over. I’m in utter shock and deeply disappointed that Macy’s would treat people like this, especially those who have been loyalists for over 14 years. I’ve reached out to them numerous times via phone and social and they ignore and say there’s nothing they can do, which is utter nonsense. This is code for them not wanting to do anything and ignore me until I go away. I will NOT go away, WE SHOULD NOT STAND FOR THIS. NO COMPANY HAS THE RIGHT TO VIOLATE YOU OR YOUR PRIVACY.

However, if you’re gonna have customers waste their time with your system, at least implement one that will actually prevent fraud.

I placed an online order. However ~ I entered the wrong place settings of silverware - when it arrived, I elected to return all 3 place settings in the original box with Macy's return label. When I checked my account, I noticed I was only credited 2 place settings plus they applied my Macy's rewards dollars to my account (each place setting $59.00). I have never had issues with Macy's until now. I contacted Macy's Customer Service a total of 5 times and each time the representative stated, "No worries. I will take care of it". They recommended I wait 48 hours for credit to my account; then they were supposed to email me that night - never received an email; I submitted a complaint online & received an electronic automated response ~ twice. Finally I submitted a claim disputing these charges & Macy's responded with another automated response.
Listen Macy's ~ in a time where many consumers are forced to order online because local businesses are closing ~ now is not the time to reduce business costs by hiring customer service representatives overseas. I am empathetic to the Philippine representatives because Macy's is not and has not provided them any administrative authority or backup. If anyone opened the return package & scanned in the merchandise, they would know all 3 place settings were returned. I refuse to pay for merchandise that I don’t have. If Macy's wants to continue to do business - improved Customer Service is imperative! That being said - Macy's needs to adhere to return policies to limit abuse of the policies; but gross negligent customer service will contribute to their demise. Macy's ~ if you want to stay in business ~ Customer Service is key to your future?

I purchased a dinnerware set online and chose to have it picked up in store. Once confirmed in store that it was there, I go and pick it up. I head home and open it and it’s damaged. I should have known because when I went to pick it up in the store, the box my set was packaged in had no “Fragile” wording on the box. First issue - my dinnerware set was not packaged properly. I call customer care because I purchased it online and the first person I spoke to ordered a replacement. Second issue - The representative sounded like he had no idea what he was doing. Didn’t verify that the replacement package was being sent to the store. He even told me to throw away the broken set and because I didn’t trust it, I decided to bring it into the store. I bring it into the store where I picked it up and left it there for them to ship back. I ask the store to verify that a replacement order was put in place.
The supervisor assured me that there was but the problem is, is that they have no way of tracking it. He said most likely it would be sent to the store just like the original order. Third issue - Next day, I get a confirmation that my delivery should be in store two days later but that I saw my shipping address was my billing address and not the store. I called Macy’s again and the rep assured me it’s being sent to the store. Fourth issue - The day of the expected delivery date in store, I get an email from UPS saying my package is being sent to my billing address and not the store. I am raging at this point.

Macy’s is literally on the brink of closing down all their stores and I can’t not wait till that happens. They don’t deserve my money or anyone else’s. I decide to order my dinnerware set from Amazon and it’s 15$ more but worth knowing I will have my package in two days and that it won’t be damaged in transit. BEWARE - DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. BUY FROM SOMEWHERE.

I purchased a pair of shoes online using my husband's Macy's card but the shoes were too big so I took them back to the store for an exchange. I had to take them to Finish Line in Macy's and the man helping me was so rude to me, I was taken aback by his behavior. First he questioned why I purchased men's shoes for myself. That was none of his business, though Converse are unisex and he should know that as an athletic shoe salesman. Second, he said he wasn't going to put it back on my credit card, even though I showed him my online receipt and order number because the card was in my husband's name. I was like okay, but I want an exchange and he refused.
I took the box and went to customer service to ask for a manager. It took her 15 minutes to come down. After she ordered another person to do a gift card transaction. He didn't seem to know how and she had walked away so it took him 25 minutes. He reordered my shoes with the gift card and threw it away. I asked for a receipt just in case. Two weeks went by, no shoes. So I called customer service. No shoes had been ordered on the card. And since I didn't have the physical gift card, oh well. I gave them the receipt number and they said they reordered it.
A two weeks later-no shoes. I called again. My receipt has faded by now (which the agent was like receipts don't fade - on this cheap paper it did, so...), but I called anyway. They claimed the card was blocked because I gave the wrong zip code (on a gift card?) and I would have to return to the store that gave me issues to fix it. They were rude and interrupted me every time I tried to speak. So far, I was questioned about my purchase based on gender stereotypes, refused an even exchange even with an online receipt, told something was ordered when it wasn't, and then told it was my problem and to return to the store if I wanted it solved. I won't shop there again for anything after the way I have been treated and I am considering other legal options at this time all because I wanted to buy $60 Converse.

Macy's is definitely involved in deceptive practices. I had an expired credit card with Macy's. Was told by an associate that will be renewed on the spot. The next thing I know I have a second credit card. Macy's states that I would have been asked for my income at the time and possibly other information which I surely would not have provided as that would not be necessary to renew my card. I clearly stated that I did not want a new card and associates stated that they were simply renewing my existing account which was a blatant lie. I immediately cancelled both cards which impacted my credit score.

Absolutely the worst customer service ever!!! I ordered a new dresser that was delivered but arrived damaged so I had to refuse the order. Macy’s promised to correct the issue and deliver a new piece. Delivery day comes and no call confirming the appointment so we call customer service but just get stuck in an endless loop of automated prompts. I then resorted to email. No reply.

I purchased a number of products at macys.com and received Star Money. I then made additional purchases using both the Star Money and my Macy's credit card. Many of the products were returned (I didn't like them) and the refund process became a nightmare. Then I received my Macy's credit card bill and I believe it was correct and I paid it. Then I returned another item (that I paid for on my credit card) and Macy's is providing a refund in a Macy's gift card! I spent 44 mins with 3 different reps on the phone (Macy's credit and then macys.com) and none of them could explain why I was getting a gift card rather than a credit on my account! In the end -- I believe Macy's has stolen from me and I closed my credit card account.

My receipt says that I have 1 year to return the item. Due to several problems/family emergencies, it took me a while to return my items. The jeans are in brand new condition - never worn nor washed with all tags still attaches. I tried returning approx. 10 months after purchasing using the return sticker that was attached to the tags. I was told that I could no longer return the item because they were purchased over 180 days ago. I told them that I was told the policy was 1 year and they disagreed. I recently found my receipt and the receipt clearly states on the back that the items can be returned within 1 year. I just got off the phone with customer service and I was told that the policy went into effect September 2017 (7 months after purchasing and 2 months prior to trying to return).
I was told that one the policy went into effect, the one year policy that was stated on my receipt was invalid. That is definitely not right (legally or as how a business should treat their customers). We usually had spent about $2K at Macy's a year (it was pretty much the only dept. store where we shopped). I know that is a small amount compared to their annual sales however if they treat enough people the same way, that will add up. Businesses nowadays are doing everything they can to make a profit - even at the expense of their customers. We will no longer support Macy's and will no longer shop there... They are not the only place to buy things at... That is something companies should keep in mind. I will also be returning all of the items we have purchased in the past 180 days (that is over $1k worth of stuff). I will not honor a company who does not honor their customers.

I purchased the Carena's 3pc sectional from Macy's in Downtown Boston last week. (Keep in mind, Macy's does not allow you to use two means of payments i.e. two credit cards.) At time of purchase I indicated numerous times that the delivery should be made in a smaller truck considering my street is on the narrower side. I watched the salesperson include my note as part of my order. I watched the Manager confirm that the way the request was recorded was acceptable. At time of delivery, Macy's contracted delivery company was unable to deliver my furniture because they used a 26' delivery truck. When trying to coordinate to take my furniture off of the truck at the nearest convenient space for the delivery crew I was hung up on and told to contact Macy's customer service.
Macy's customer service also hung up on me. I was told that they do not even have a smaller truck... If they in fact do not have a smaller truck, my order will be cancelled by Macy's. Not by myself. I am writing this review because I was sold a dream but left dealing with a nightmare. If you live in any bigger city where the streets may be a bit narrower, your delivery will not be a priority to Macy's. Furthermore, you will not be allowed to pick up the furniture that you have paid for at their warehouse because Macy's does not allow you to go anywhere near their warehouses. They will also laugh in your face if you ask them to, at worst case scenario, rent a smaller truck in order to make the delivery.
The whole thing is a joke at this point. So much for customer first... This is why places like Macy's are going out of business. And then people reminisce about the nostalgia, no thanks. I'd rather have a great customer service experience, then left hung up on with no sense of urgency to get my situation resolved. Wishing everyone a better Macy's furniture delivery experience. Someone that still believes that the Customer should come first.

We bought a sectional 2 years ago with a warranty. Something happened to the couch and the warranty thru Macy’s was to replace it. But we would have to repurchase it including ya. and delivery fee again then they would only give us credit back for partial product. Or we could have a 1/4 of the money back and keep the broken sectional. Corporate called us after fighting at the store and said we could afford to pay for it. He checked out Macy’s card and there was plenty of credit on there we could just use it. Not the point. The point is the warranty was supposed to cover everything and it did NOT cover anything.

Contacted my credit card company which now shot up a red flag and they verified me and still Macy's would not put the charge through. They basically said that I abused the system, hummm interesting, since I never used Ebates before for Macy's and hardly ever buy anything with them.
They then told me I can only purchase from the store and never online. I quickly cancelled my Macy's credit card and wrote to them asking them to have a supervisor contact me (still waiting).

I immediately contacted Macy's Customer No Service and was told I HAD to make all corrections within 30 minutes of initiating the order. It took 30 minutes to get the confirmation email. Macy's is so desperate for money now, that they no longer need a customer service because they can only assist you within 30 minutes of your order. After that, THEY DON'T CARE. The frustrating part of all this is, they won't make any changes or updates to your order even though it won't be shipped for 3 days.

Another internet outsourced company making shopping online a horrific experience. No supervisors, representatives with limited communication skills and absolutely NO desire to resolve concerns that may be unique to Americans. Shame on Macy’s!!! My item was delivered with the security tag attached. I have no car and leaving on a trip tomorrow. Representative did nothing to at least compensate me for the 30.00 car service fee for me to take item to store to have tag removed. They simply DO NOT know or want to resolve consumer concerns and retain customers. Now I understand why they are slipping away into the realm of crappy stores. Stay away!!

Would give negative review if I could. My account was hacked last year. Was told I would get confirmation of the account closure in the mail, plus my new card. I got the card but no confirmation. I used it once and it was stolen again. I contacted customer service again and told them I wanted my account closed for good due to their lax security. Was told I would get confirmation of the closure in the mail and to pay the outstanding balance. I sent the balance and again, did not get account confirmation.
After 1 year of no contact, (wasn't expecting any since they suck) I started getting collection notices in the mail for a closed account! Seriously? I've tried several times to get a manager to call me and have gotten no response (of course). I escalated through BBB of Cincinnati and some entry level "account assistant" responded that it's not their problem and it's mine? After being an account holder since 1993, I would rather go to Nordstrom and pay 3x for the same item than go anywhere near Macy's anymore. Disgusting.

I reported fraudulent activity on my credit card. I spoke with customer service and they assured me that the card would be cancelled and flagged for fraudulent activity. A few days later I received an email from Macy's saying they were giving the thief a refund for the stuff she put on my credit card because she returned it. I called customer service and they did not what was going on and my card was still active. If that is the best security Macy's can provide during these days of the hacker I have no use for them.

I’m very disappointed with Macy’s Department Stores. I recently purchased a pair of JM Collection Plus Curvy Fit Straight Leg Pants (Black) from their online store. I open a plastic bag containing my pants and while I was trying on the pants, I slipped my leg into the right pant leg and two dead roaches came flying out of the bottom of it. I didn’t know they were dead at the time and was in complete shock. I immediately contacted customer service, and after waiting 15 minutes for someone to pick up, I explained what had occurred.
They said they were sorry and would give me 20% off my total order as I purchase other items as well. I said, "That’s all you have to say, this was unacceptable." Not that they would make an inquiry into it or contact their quality department. I’m very disappointed with Macy’s and don’t plan to purchase pants in the future. I’ve been shopping online for years and this has never happened to me before. Thought I’d share my experience with you. (See attached pictures.)

Let me start by saying that I'm appalled by the level of service Macy's Representatives have provided. This item is being order for a wedding on July 13th and Macy's can't seem to deliver on their promise. On my first attempt the Rep "accidentally cancelled" my order and then the items weren't available for purchase. He placed me on hold and then "accidentally" transferred me to a store in Wayne, NJ. Bearing in mind, my funds were already on hold with the Bank... NO RESOLUTION. Later that evening I was able to place this order again online and paid for express delivery. To date the item was not received and as per UPS the item was shipped standard and is currently in Virginia. Macy's Rep stated that there's nothing that can be done, I'll just have to wait. AGAIN NO RESOLUTION. This is not the kind of service I'd expect from any merchant and especially not Macy's. My wedding is 2 days away and I am without the shoes and my money.

My husband received a shirt for Christmas that he went to wear recently and realized still had the security device attached. I attempted to call store today for assistance, but it took 15 minutes to navigate the automated system, since customer service is NOT an option. When I FINALLY spoke with a live person, she told me I could "come on into the store" (Macy's Town Center Plaza, Leawood, KS, an hour away) or mail the shirt back (at my expense). When I suggested that the device should have been removed at time of purchase and either option was an inconvenience to me, I offered to email photos of the tag attached with item number and Macy's return label so that I could get a gift card for a replacement shirt. She then put me "on hold" for 15 minutes of silence.
I called back, spoke with a person in a random department so I didn't have to waste time pushing buttons, and she gave me the number for customer service and transferred me. Phone rang for 15 minutes with no answer. I called back, used the buttons to dial extension directly and got a recording that no one was available (at 1:30pm on a Saturday), and asked me to leave a message. I chose instead to email a complaint and am eagerly awaiting the reply. All I want is a shirt my husband can actually wear without having to drive an hour each way to fix their mistake!!!

I called customer service and they apologized and offered to either refund the item or if I wanted to keep it they will give me a 20% discount. The associate I spoke with said there was an error whenever she tried to process the discount and said that she would give me a call back the next day.
I waited for the callback but did not receive one. I called customer service the next day regarding the issue and a different associate stated they are not able to give me a discount because the item is last act. I told her that when I called before a supervisor approved the discount. I was placed on hold and was supposedly honored the discount. I asked if I will be receiving a confirmation and was told yes but I have yet to receive one. The associate asked if she can connect me to her supervisor and I responded yes and the phone just continued to ring and no one answered. I'm very disappointed in Macy's customer service.

The worst customer service I have ever received. It all started because I went online because there was a sale that ended on Sunday June 10 2018 for 30% off beauty products using the code EVENT. I was buying some face cream and was supposed to get a bunch of free samples, and I was also buying several sets of curtains.
I did my online shopping and went to checkout, but the page would just spin and spin and not update to actually enter the credit card details and pay. I tried multiple browsers and even had my husband try on a different computer, but nothing worked. Today I checked Facebook and saw several other people complaining about the same issue, so it was not just me or user error. I called the supposed 24/7 800 number, but got a message that due to a system upgrade no one was available to help me. I then emailed the customer service email address that night before the sale was over.
About a day later I got an email back that I should call customer service and someone would help me place the order. So I called... The call center in Manilla Philippines is awful. It sounds like a party when you call with a bunch of women laughing in the background. I have called twice and been put on hold and left on hold twice. The first time for over 15 minutes and I eventually hung up. So I called back, spoke to a male worker and then was transferred to a woman who was supposedly the supervisor. I was trying to buy the items over the phone and get the discount I would have gotten on Sunday.
The supposed supervisor said she would make a one time exception and give me the sale price. Then she took that back and said the face cream was no longer available to buy at all. I said fine and that I still wanted the curtains. I gave the woman my credit card info and all the details, she put me back on hold and left me on hold for 20 min and then eventually she hung up on me/disconnected the call. I was trying to buy something!
I was at no point rude, I didn't yell or do anything other than trying to buy some face cream and curtains. The terrible employee got all of my information and there is no reason she could not place the order, but I was on the call for over 45 minutes, and in the end the woman just disconnected the call. I don't see any charges on my credit card which means that after wasting my time with multiple calls and emails and most recently 45 minutes of my time, I still have no curtains or cream.
I will not shop at Macy's anymore, I would rather go spend my $$ at Nordstroms, a better store, with better quality products, better management, and amazing customer service. If Macy's goes out of business as a company it will be because of the terrible customer service. SO BAD!!!! I will tell everyone I know about this awful experience. I have already told several co-workers and friends, and I will discourage everyone I know from ever shopping at this terrible awful company run by people who clearly do not appreciate their customers and do not hire good employees or train employees on proper customer service.
Your stupid phone surveys don't do any good when the employees know they might get a bad survey, so they just hang up on the customers so they cannot get a bad survey. What a waste. I was very excited about my curtains and what should have been a fun happy experience was ruined by awful customer service and now I will have to find something someplace else because I refuse to buy anything from Macy's now. I still don't understand why after providing my credit card and everything the woman needed, she put me on hold and then hung up on me and never placed the order. Why????
If you value your customers at all you will do something about this. Macy's must be losing customers left and right based on all the terrible comments I see on social media and the terrible experiences I have had. I have been a loyal customer to Macy's and I always do much of my Xmas shopping at Macy's, but that is over. I would rather take my money elsewhere and get better service.
Quit cutting corners and stop shipping everything to the Philippines to people who do not care. In truth though, even the US employees do not care. Most likely no one will ever read this email, or just delete it, and if you are reading it now you probably don't care either. Maybe you will care when you lose your job because Macy's goes out of business due to the terrible awful deplorable customer service. I have wasted enough of my time on this. I will now go spend my hard earned money at a different store, never to return.

My latest experience was with a shirt I bought. I got caught in the rain wearing it and came home and lay it flat to dry on my couch. It shrunk from a medium to an infant size overnight! I called them, explained and they sent me a shipping label. They reassured me they had their notes on the system so the warehouse manager would know what the problem was when he got it in that state! Needless to say, it was returned to me by the warehouse manager! He failed to read the notes on the system!
On May 6th which was 3 weeks later I called Macy's and they said they would credit my account. Right after that I kept getting emails from them asking me to return the shirt. I called back and they started offering me 20 percent off the shirt price back! I was furious! I didn’t know that the credit had been posted. After bargaining with me to get to 30 percent she put me on hold to get supervisor approval. It was then that the supervisor realized the credit was posted in full! I have posted a picture of the shrunk shirt next to my foot to give you an idea of how much the shirt had shrunk.

In the event that you receive a Beauty Box for May, kindly let us know immediately so we could send a notification to our internal team for further investigation."
However, on May 6th I received an email from Macy's saying my Beauty Box was on its way. I immediately responded to Arlyn's email and let her know my subscription wasn't in fact cancelled. On May 7th, I received an email from Macy's asking for "more time" to analyze the problem. Not having heard anything by May 11th, I reached out again, and the day after I got the email below, stating that I need to cancel on the website, which brings me to stage 1. I did not subscribe with a different email address, because I don't even have a different email address, and I'm getting shipping notifications and such on this same email. I don't know why I'm not seeing it on the website, but I need this cancelled.

Manipulation: 1) Promote credit card use. I was shopping for clothes and found many sale signs throughout the store for '30% off' but there was confusing small print that seem to suggest that I can only get the 30% off if I use a Macy's credit card. I had no intention of being manipulated into getting a Macy's credit card and didn't want to waste my time if not all items were priced fairly for all customers so I asked a sales clerk what the small print on the '30% off' sign meant.
The first two sales associates didn't know and the 3rd said she 'thinks' the sale only applies to those using a Macy's credit card. I am not OK with this. The signs should be more clear--no ** small print, the sales associates should know what the small print means, and it is irresponsible for Macy's to use this tactic to induce people to apply for and use their credit card. Can you imagine if every company did this? We'd all be forced to have over a dozen credit cards or else be charged extra. For that reason alone, I refuse to go to Macy's ever again.
2) Buy 1 get the 2nd for 50% off. The sign that reads this has '50% off in huge letters and the 'buy one get the 2nd for 50% off in small letters' visible only when you get there. This is common in many stores. Meant to trick you into think you're getting 50% off when really you're getting 25% off and only if you buy 2. I don't like it, and it's manipulative, but so far, it's not that big a deal. However, I couldn't afford two shirts, just one. So I told the sales clerk that I could only afford one shirt and that's all I wanted. I said, 'I'd like to buy 1 shirt for 25% off, which is the equivalent saving that others get who can and are willing to buy two.' She said no. So I asked to see the manager and told him the same thing and he said no.
I pointed out to him that other customers are getting 25% off per item while I, due to my lower income, am being forced to pay more than others and that I am being discriminated against. I also told him that it's in the best interest to sell me one shirt for 25% off, because it's better than losing my business completely. He said sorry, but it was store policy. I asked for a complaint card and he said they don't have any. I told him told that he has lost my business and that I am boycotting his store for discrimination of lower income individuals and for the 30% off sign with the small print charging more for those who use a Macy's credit card. And then I left.

My favorite store, I just wish there was a brick and mortar store closer to our home.

I returned several items for a refund to my PayPal account and when I finally received my refund it was in Macy's gift cards, which I do not want because I will never order from them again... Ever! I have contacted Macy's several, several times since March and have still not received my refund to my PayPal account. The only answer I get from them is it takes 7-10 business days to received a refund. It has been 28 business days and still NO refund. Do not order from them because if you have to return an item don't expect to get a refund!

I had purchased 3 items for $3,400 from Macy's over the phone with an agent, and of course my card went through with no issue. An hour later, I received a mail notify me that the order was canceled, and when I called the only explanation was "There were some verification issues". What are they? Last week I ordered from you, how come there's an issue now? Nobody could answer. What really make me really angry, in rage, is that as of today the money is still not available in my account. I have to wait for 4 to 7 days? The same way Macy's canceled my order and took my money they should be able to return my money back immediately.

I went back on 3rd day to return my bag since bag doesn't have enough pockets. It won't work for my need. I took the bag in their original packaging the way they packed it for me. The guy at the register didn't even bother take the bag out from the shopping bag. He already stated I used the bag. When I told them it's a brand new bag I didn't even open it then he try to find defect on the bag with a magnifying glass and 3 other Longchamp reps were started laughing at me. Then Manager Duan came also claiming there was a stain in the bag but he can't show me where is the stain. He claimed it's a used bag. I told them you sold me this bag stating it's brand new that means you sold me a used stain bag since I didn't even open the bag.
I felt humiliated by their behavior and they all were laughing at me. I felt like they were showing attitude toward me for returning their bag and purchase other bag. Since I had a Gucci shopping bag on me they decided to harassed me by not purchasing their bag. I was feeling humiliated by their attitude and laughter. When I raised my voice on them & told them why are they insulting me by making fun of me. They just gave me an attitude I choose other brand over them. Since I am brown skin they showing Racist Attitude toward me. Finally the manager decided it's a brand new bag and give me the refund after humiliated me for half an hour.

I have been shopping at Macy's over 40 years and this is the 1st time I have been humiliated by untrained worker. Longchamp should train their worker how to treat the customer with respect.

I ordered a pair of MK ballet flats online. When I received my order, the shoes were not in the proper packaging because they were used, worn and returned, then sent to me. Appalled by this, I took them back to my closest Macy's store and wanted to do a simple exchange for a new pair of shoes. An actual NEW pair. The customer service I received in-store was absolutely horrendous. But I've worked in retail before too, so I understand how frustrating it is to have to give customer service to someone you aren't making commission off of... but I digress. Anyway, the sales associate in-store handed me the floor sample box with one shoe in it. I of course told him that I literally came to the store to get a NEW pair then he proceeded to tell me that he didn't have any more in the store in my size. Fine.
Apparently placing an online order was too much of a hassle at that moment. Doesn't make too much sense, because wouldn't he have gotten that commission too?? But anyway... I got on the phone with customer service, and a very understanding sales representative, Karen, apologized up-and-down for the shipping mistake AND the rude sales associate. I really just wanted a NEW pair of shoes. I proceeded to ask Karen if the new order she told me she was processing would be billed to the same card as my last order, but then she told me that they would be sent to me free of charge because of their mistake. I was extremely grateful, because I was STILL willing to pay full price for a NEW pair. Karen told me that since I returned the shoes in store, I had to wait for the return to process before the NEW shoes could be shipped out. Fine. I thanked Karen and called it a day. Until I realized that I had no proof of this "new order."
I called back to confirm that Karen in fact placed the order and a different rep ensured me that she did. Okay. A few days later, I called back asking for a confirmation email on the order that Karen supposedly placed for me. They said I would receive the email 3-6 days after March 24th, when the return was processed. Fine. Now TWO WEEKS later, I call customer service AGAIN and I am now told that the last three reps I spoke to basically lied to me. It would be impossible for Karen to have sent me out a new pair because my return had already been processed! WTF?!? I've now waited over a month for a friggin' pair of shoes that are just never coming!
I started off by simply wanting to do an exchange. I work hard and could afford a NEW (can't say that enough) pair of leather shoes without a damn problem. But now I want what was told to me. This is now principle. I never - AND I MEAN NEVER - write reviews. However, I've been a long-time Macy's customer and I can NOT believe I was treated this way. I hope SOMEONE at Macy's corporate actually sees this, because the number I was given, 212-695-4400, just rings and rings and rings. I really hope I don't have to send a letter to the BBB...

I ordered this pair of Versace sunglasses at the Sunglass Hut inside of Macy's at the Town Center Mall in Boca Raton, FL and when it came via UPS, the first thing I noticed was that the Versace case was scratched up on the inside of it, the glasses seemed questionable (like they may have been slightly used) and that there wasn't a cleaning cloth. Even the certificate of authenticity was missing! I contacted many different people from Sunglass Hut and Macy's. Got a huge runaround. All I know is I finally went down to my local Sunglass Hut to reorder and the sales girl never apologized nor did she expedite the order to overnight it.
She was very rude and disrespectful. She never even guaranteed me that I'd get a certificate of authenticity with my next order. All she told me was that "let's hope they get the order right next time." I went to the Versace website and on there it clearly states: Do not purchase any item without the certificate of authenticity. I told that to the sales girl and she could have cared less. I'd like to know why I was treated so rudely? When you buy a car you get a title. When you buy a house you get a deed. When you purchase Versace designer sunglasses you are supposed to get a certificate of authenticity.
Where is my certificate of authenticity? Nobody has even called me back and I have contacted many people including managers at both Macy's and Sunglass Hut! Shame on them to try to rip off their customers! I left plenty of reviews about my experience all over the internet to warn potential customers to make sure they get a certificate of authenticity, otherwise your sunglasses are worthless!

Charmaine ** is the Manager and Joseph, the salesperson on the third floor (Men’s activewear) are the two rude people who assisted me with my return. I had both original copies of my receipt. My first transaction was a pair of $100 Under Armour pants. I washed them after wearing and part of the fabric melted in the dryer when the tag said tumble dry on low heat is allowed. I returned the pants for an even exchange and purchased an Under Armour shirt for $25 on my second transaction, along with the even exchange for the pants. I kept the shirt, but the second pair of pants didn’t fit me like the first pair so I went to the store on March 28, 2018 to return the pants only. They insisted they would only credit 75 to my debit card even though I paid the full 100 on my debit and they returned the $25 on my MasterCard. Which I don’t know why because I kept my shirt I purchased on my MasterCard.
The manager came over, very rude and said “that’s just how the receipt is trying to credit. Even though it’s a mistake, we are going to split your return credit as our system allows." Now I was upset and let them know that’s terrible customer service and I wanted my credit back on the original payment form as expected. Joseph, the salesman raised his voice and said “don’t disrespect my manager. She’s a female and what she says goes”. Gender has nothing to do with the incompetence of this return first of all. Second of all, they both got loud and ** with me in front of several customers saying I better just take the return as is and not put up an argument.
After being completely mortified, I just allowed them to credit however they wanted to and left the store telling them I will reach out to corporate. Charmaine **, the manager yelled across the counter “GO AHEAD AND DO THAT THEN”. All I can say is wow! What low-class customer service and employees does Macy’s employ?

Full details below, but in short, Bud is not fit to be a manager for Macy's as he yells and screams at customers and speaks in a disrespectful manner. And be careful when you buy products and expect to pick them up with the 48 hour window they give you because it may not be there when you go to pick it up again. It may be sold to someone else at a higher price (as they have a dummy SKU they use when the tag has been removed from the product as they do not keep track of inventory sold)
I paid in full and bought a mattress on 3/22/18, however I did not have a large vehicle to take it back with me that same night. I was told by the sales rep that they would be able to hold it for me for 48 hours, before they refund the money if I do not come to pick it up. The sales rep removed the price tag from the item and put a sold sign on it. So I came back on 3/23/18 to pick it up but the mattress was not there. I was informed someone had sold it earlier in the day despite it already being sold. With this being a Clearance center they did not have another piece to give me. I was asked to come back the following day (3/24/18) to speak to a manager. I came back but the manager was not there. I was told he starts working at 12:30 PM but he was late and arrived around 12:45 PM. And this is where the experience went from bad to horrible.
The Clearance Center store manager, Bud ** (May have misspelled his last name) was extremely rude and disrespectful. He started shouting and yelling at me telling me this happens sometimes. He offered me 3 options, find a larger size mattress and he can adjust the price on that (this isn't a viable option as I only have space for a full size mattress), wait until another shipment comes (but they receive limited supplies of Full size mattresses - so it could come on the next shipment or can take months. There is no way to know how long I need to wait and then he would ship it to me but that would take an additional 10 days) and the last option was he would discount some other mattress he has in store. He asked me how much I would be willing to pay for the mattress available which was of lesser quality. And he laughed and said "Oh let me guess. You want it for free" and I said no that is not realistic and offered a discount.
I calculated the % discount I received from the original mattress and requested the same discount on this mattress. He started yelling at me and said I am insulting Macy's for asking for a discount like that. Whereas in reality he was insulting Macy's by saying it happens when they sell items to customers and then sell it to others when they come in within the allotted 48 hours. They are supposed to move them to the back to hold, but did not do that either. Bud kept yelling at me as if I was a child and a condescending manner. There were many unbiased customers there as witnesses. He walked away and later a sales rep (Don) came and offered to discount the only other Full Size mattress to the price I had calculated based on the % discount of the initial mattress from its original price. He apologized for what transpired.
As I was exiting the store MULTIPLE employees apologized on behalf of their manager Bud, on behalf of Macy's for what happened, for Bud raising his voice and handling this in a very unprofessional manner. One of the reps there said "I'm sorry bro for what happened and Bud's unprofessionalism, that is not how to treat or speak to a customer. It was very uncalled for and not cool of him". Bud is not fit to be a manager as he does not know how to speak to customers and resorts to yelling and screaming. I have multiple unbiased witness that can attest to this and attest to the fact I never raised my voice. I did clearly indicate to Bud, I am not his child and he should not be raising his voice with me. He was very disrespectful and unprofessional.

After calling Macy's next day... I learned that I had 2 transaction which had couple of weeks between each other. I paid one and forgot about second transaction on which I started to accumulate the fees. Nevertheless there weren't any letters sent to my address or monthly bills to the address or to my email or any calls, with voice messages. So I kept in dark in terms of a knowledge about piling up charges. But sure it is also my partial mistake, I should never forget about what I bought. Nevertheless company went ahead and dropped fees, which was very nice of them. Still the first time I contacted them through online services they just dropped the conversation, and I swear I wasn't rude or anything, I was patient and trying to explain the situation, when suddenly the conversation went off... so I think from 1 star go up to 3 stars would be fair. For the company: Please, there are so many spam, fishing and scam calls now days, that if you are calling your customers and especially if this calls coming from out of US and you barely understand the person on other side, most people will assume that the call is a fraud. So, if you are calling your customers, leave a voice mail, asking them to call the phone number on the back of customer's card. Please if the person accumulates the debt, try to reach them by mail or email... Monthly statements has to be sent via mail or email. So your customers will be informed and you won't losing business here... And again world wide trading company is really awesome, but the most loyal customers always will be from the point of origin, so do not neglect your most loyal customers and employees. Although of cause all people are awesome...

I bought some gift for one person for a New Year on 11.22.2017. It was charged on Macy's credit card. It cost me 42.79. They sent me a receipt to my email address on the same date, so they know my address, so that means that they know my email address when I was applying for their credit card. So today, on 03.20.2018, I received 5 spam calls starting from 8 am. So I started checking on "who's calling me" search what is the calls actually coming from. 2 of the numbers were pure spam, 727-556-7300 and 701-253-0188, phishing type for the information, but on one phone there were couple of people who complaint about scammy nature of the calls, like calling and dropping the call, like asking for the information or people who is not actually on the phone, but some people were saying it might be from Macy's credit card, just they hired some cheap company to contact to their customers, the phone number is 513-398-5221.
I am not sure it might be still scam phone number, but nevertheless it brought me to the memory that I bought some stuff on New Year through the Macy's credit card, which I believed I paid for... So I went ahead to my account on Macy's and I saw that they were charging me late fees amount for 3 months, without even notifying me about it. No calls received and no emails has been sent from Macy's about late fees. So I was stunned. First of all I was not sure that I didn't pay for it and second I looked through my emails and there were no alerts!
So I went to talk to representative through online support and I tried to explain the concern about charging me late fee without me being notified. In my understanding, any monetary motions on such as charges to my account has to be alerted to me at least at the end of the month and business has responsibility to notify the customer if there is any motion on the customers account? Is it right or am I tripping and we are living in the wild west where anything and everything is possible without any laws and responsibilities.
Anyway, the customer representative attitude towards me was like: "Bye bye". The maximum he told me, they can waive the fee for one month, but not promised and I will be "notified" (?) in 10 days. And then just hang up on me, when I was trying to explain that I would agree for one month late fee, since I was notified just today. But he/she just hang up on me. And the review for talking to representative was dropped immediately too.
So couple of things for the conclusion: I will complain to Better Business Bureau and I will never ever buy anything from Macy's and will be sharing my experience. I will do pay what I owe, if it is not a scam, because I have to check if I paid it already, it is 100 dollars now. From 40 dollars to 100 dollars just on fees. :( And then I drop their credit card. And I wish Macy's all "the best". Hiring cheap companies to communicate with their customers, especially for the money questions is not wise. Actually, I know that lots of American companies are trying to save big buck on their workers, either paying like 10 bucks, cutting hours or outsourcing, and that's exactly what is killing America's economy. They are trying to increase margin, but profits goes way down and lots of people end up without work.
When "big" people will understand that thinking small will shrink them into gnomes in all aspects of their life? Be detailed, but think big. When company paying their employee 10 bucks per hour, guess what their return is... 0 bucks, because people who work for them just buying food... which I guess is ok for Publix and food stores. Sorry rumbling here. But yeah if you want foreign countries feel better, go ahead underestimate your own people, but know that one day all your capital investments will be taken away from you, and your people will be able only to work for 10 dollars at the food stores. But it will be late to change anything. *What I was just talking relates to this case, because as I understand Macy's hired some foreign company to take care of their customers and their attitude is awful and overall feels like scam company.

I would give both Macy's and American Express a Zero rating, if I could! I spent countless hours/several days in Dec. 2017 trying to unravel the origins of an Experian "Alert" on a payment made on a non-existent loan with AMEX DSNB. First AmEx gave me the wrong account information - a former corporate account that was closed in 2002 when I relocated to a different state.
After much wasted time and research, I pinned it down to reports provided by a Macy's AmEx credit card account that had been CLOSED FOR OVER A YEAR!! I was appalled when I learned that it was closed without explanation in Nov. 2016: I was in good standing, with a zero balance and received a letter from Macy's AmEx in late Dec. 2016 that - since apparently a piece of mail had been returned to them by the post office (I had not changed my address in 15 years?) - they arbitrarily closed my account nearly 2 months prior!! Ironically, the letter arrived at the same address they deemed "non viable" for me!!
I had personally visited our only Macy's store on Maui and showed the letter, credit card to the store manager, who promised to follow-up on the way I had been treated and get back to me. I never heard anything back from her, but assumed the account was closed, and that was that. BTW, I maintain a FICO score of well over 800 and had NEVER had any credit card company close an account on me ever before - especially without even attempting to contact me to verify my address, either by phone, e-mail text first.
I found both Macy's and American Express totally uncaring and unhelpful. Turns out, AmEx was/is? Incorrectly coding monthly reports on the closed account. I also received no apology or customer service from Macy's whatsoever. The very least they could have done was offer me a gift certificate for all the inconvenience by adding insult to injury! Oh beware! Only later did I discover that, when you open a Macy's AmEx credit account, they ALSO open a Macy's store account - which I was unable to close for some time as I didn't hold the card or know the last 4 digits of the account (they wouldn't tell me, even after their several attempts to verify my ID via text failed and the promised verification phone call was never received by me!). I had to find a special department to actually close the account. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER BY BOTH MACY'S AND AMEX!!!

I ordered a jacket during Christmas, they put wrong address... I emailed and try calling that please change the address but no actions was taken. The parcel delivered on wrong address and was returned back. Now it has been 2 months but I have not received my money back nor did I get my jacket. I sent several emails and there is no way I can reach Macy's.

I bought some cosmetics products from Macy's and paid by PayPal. I did not receive it and I called Macy's. Their customer service is awful. No matter what you said, they just do not want to return your money back. I called them like 10 times. And they just keep cheating me and said they had already make refund to me. So where is my money? I do not receive it. I think that I spend money to know that never buy products from Macy's again. Do not buy products from this company, please. Their customer service is miserable. The company has to improve their customer service. Do not make customers crazy!

I found a good sale on sheets at Macys.com that ended on 02/19/2018. On 02/18/2018, I ordered them online using a CC that I use all the time. I don't have internet at home, so the next day I see an email sent 30 minutes after my order, saying my order could not be processed, was canceled, and I should call their consumer protection number. So, on 02/19/2018, I ordered the sheets again, using PAYPAL (which uses the same CC), and 30 minutes later I get an email saying the same as the earlier email. Order canceled, call their consumer protection dept.
I called them and had a very hard time understanding their broken English. They would not tell me why my orders had been canceled, other than their fraud dept had found something wrong. They said they needed to verify some info (the same info that I put in online during the order process). After doing so, they said they could not reinstate my order due to it being a PAYPAL order, so connected me to their online ordering people at Macys.com. They took all my info, and created a new order (3rd one), that I would pick up at a Macy's store.
The next afternoon on 02/20/2018, I see an email just like the earlier two, saying the same thing, order canceled, call consumer protection dept. I called and got the same story as before, order canceled because they needed to verify some info. Now the sale is over. Consumer protection rep said she would connect me to online ordering dept, and tell them to give me the sale price.
When I talked to the online sale rep, they said they would give me the old sale price, but, now the store where I was going to pick them up, was out of them. I asked if they would ship them to me and pick up the shipping charge, and she agreed to do so. After giving her my shipping address and CC#, she said my card was declined, and I would have to call my bank. I said I use this CC all the time, and I know it is good. She said sorry, I needed to call my bank.
I called my financial institution, and they said it was never rejected from their end (there were eight pending charges, two from each of the four orders showing against my account). My rep said it was the Macy's fraud dept that was rejecting it for some reason. Sure enough, when I looked at my email, there was a fourth one saying the order was canceled, call their consumer protection dept.
I asked my financial institution rep, if she could remove the pending charges. She said she couldn't, but they should drop off since Macy's didn't finish processing the orders. She also said I should keep an eye on them to make sure none of them go through. So my card is good (which I already knew), but for some reason Macy's fraud dept doesn't like it, and when I explain to Macy's consumer protection dept that I have been going around in circles with them for three days, they finally blame it on my CC, and tell me to call my bank.
I suggest Macy's needs to change the name of their "consumer protection dept" to "consumer aggravation dept". I see many things on the internet describing this same problem. It is obvious Macy's does not care about their potential customers, or, after the second time this happened, I would have been connected with someone at a higher level, rather than just being steered in circles two more times. If this is how they choose to run their business, they deserve to go out of business.

I have never missed a payment for anything and had 100% payment success rate on my Credit Report. Then I make a purchase over the Holidays in Macy's store and I never received a credit card in the mail (still). I was also marked as ePayments when I always get paper statement. So I called and asked to get this late payment off of my report and was blamed for signing up for ePayment and was told that nothing could be done by two people. You lost a customer for life.

My order automatically got cancelled, when I contacted customer service, they ask me to visit the store to purchase the item. I asked to speak with a manager was on hold for 45 mins.

I am a Macy's customer. I went in to pay my bill while I was there I notice they had a satchel purse by Fossil's I was interested in and I had found that it was on sale and I had the promo code on my phone along with the sign saying 20% off except the cashier would not give me the 20% even though I show her on my phone where it said in store shopping received an additional 20% off for Valentine day. She told me that the Maplewood store normally doesn't sell though purses I should go to Rosedale Macy's. It was one I like and the amount on it because it was the close to the same amount on the other ones I price in Rosedale, then I ask for a manager and she told me no. And I should leave because I was getting the additional 20% off.
So I left very disappointed, wondering how could a company allow their employees to treat their customers that way. I won't be stepping into another Macy's store again. And I do have a credit account with Macy's store. But I don't plan on using it again. My name is Charlotte ** and I am my phone number is **, so I didn't buy the purse and just paid my credit card account off.

I had a couple of questions about some chairs I wanted to order so I called. The salesman wanted my name and phone number right off then told me his name. During the conversation he must have reminded what his name was five times. To my questions regarding warranty he seemed nervous. He told me that Macy's is very good about warranties up to thirty days after delivery and that meant if it arrived and anything was the matter with it.
Since these chairs wouldn't be sat in often I needed to know about the manufacturer's warranty. He could not tell me. I assume because it was cheaply made imports. He wanted to go ahead and place my order. I told him I had to talk with my husband. He said he could hold while I talked to him. I declined. Then he gave me two phone numbers that I could reach him on to place the order, one which was his personal cell phone. He didn't want to let me off of the phone and I couldn't wait to hang up with him. I told my husband that he really annoyed me and that I wouldn't order through him. I decided to at chairs elsewhere and bought with no sales tax or shipping.

Firstly, thank you Macy's for doing the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade for everyone for decades, it is always a magnificent experience and joy for all of us. Although I visit different Macy's locations, I primarily shop at the Hampton Bays, NY store. The staff and managers are always so helpful when I need assistance. Today when I visited the store I did require some additional assistance and I want to give accolades to Kevin one of the managers who did an outstanding job in helping me more than once, also to Ellen the cashier in cosmetics who smiled and was so pleasant when she handled my sale, Charlotte and Donna also assisted me with other purchases. I pray that this location will remain open, I love shopping here. Thank you.

This is my first time ordering merchandise from Macy's online. I ordered ONE coat. When I hit, Place Order, nothing came up but a blank page. I went back to my account and checked the order status. No order. I signed out of my account, just made today, and signed back in, waiting to see if the order was placed or not. It wasn't. No order. So, I went back and reordered the coat.
Later on that day I tried to take money that I knew I had in my account out of the ATM machine at the bank. It took 3 times and $2.00 each time I tried to complete the transaction. I had $280.00 I could take out of my account but the ATM kept saying not enough funds... I had to settle after the 3rd time for only $200. Later on I checked my balance and lo and behold I have been charged for two coats but they sent ONLY ONE. So not only does Macy's owe me $70.94 for the extra coat, they owe me $4.00 for two bogus transactions in the ATM machine. Lion Brand did that to me also but this is about Macy's. Just beware because they are not an ethical company. I will never buy from them again.

I went to order a purse on-line. When I went to pay with my Macy's credit card, it wouldn't let the card go through. When I went to the account, it said I was past due.

I had not carried a balance with them for months, however, I did buy some items for Christmas. I would always pay my bill the day I received the on-line statement.
I asked them why I hadn't received any notifications to let me know I was past due, they had no answer. They just kept saying I switched to paper bills in October, charged me a $38.00 late fee and lowered my credit limit. They could never tell me how my bill got switched. I will be cancelling my account with them. No wonder their stores are being closed! By the way, a few years back, they cleaned out my checking account of over $8,000.00! Fortunately, my bank contacted me and I was able to stop it. What can I say, I'm a slow learner!

I have been a very loyal customer to Macy's for years. Since when they were O'Neil's and then May Company. I purchase items in store as well as online. There have been a cluster of issues since Christmas of this past year (2017). The first was a pair of knee high boots that I ordered. I returned them to the store and was sent another pair. Then there have been 3 orders in a row where something was missing from the order or I never received the item (for these times I tracked my order and it showed that the item was delivered but I never received it). A couple days ago I had to call Macy's.com because I never received a pair of booties. I was told that my account would be credited. The next day I received an e-mail saying that they investigated the order and concluded that due to excessive claims of non-receipts, missing merchandise, damaged/defective, they will be unable to credit or reship the merchandise.
They go on to say that they will no longer be able to process any reshipment or credit to this billing name or address. I am getting the brunt of their issues! I called customer service and spoke with a manager. I was told that they will not do anything about this; she just kept apologizing in an obviously practiced, impersonal tone and manner. They took my money without supplying the merchandise. That is theft! I have the number to the executives of Macy's and will be calling at 9:00am sharp. This is ridiculous! I'm being treated like a criminal because they cannot get it together!!

I have had a very bad experience with Macy’s in Rockaway Mall NJ. I bought a watch from them and they said I will get a discount of 100$ if I get the watch using my Macy’s credit card. Since I didn’t have a Macy’s credit card they said I can apply for one immediately and I will get the discount. They got me to apply but since their server was down they said I can’t get the credit card now. They said they will give me Macy’s money instead which I can use anytime I want. I got the 100$ Macy’s card and because it was 100$ less I bought the 1300$ watch. The Macy’s money was an open ended coupon which I can use anytime and hence they didn’t put any issue date on the card. So legally it was a money I could use anytime.
Today I went to Macy. They told me that they no longer take the Macy’s money. I told them they can’t do it without giving me any warning that they are withdrawing all Macy’s money. That is illegal as their document says that the card is valid till 2 months of the issue date on the card and since there was no date on the card I was well within the right to use it when I want and I used it after 3 months. They very rudely told me that they can’t honor the card and I stand to lose the money and they can’t do anything about it. You can’t trust Macy’s this way if they withdraw their gift cards/coupons without any warning and leave their customers stranded. Can I take any legal action against them? It’s not about the money which is not that much but the fact that I feel cheated makes me really annoyed and I don’t want them to cheat any of their other customers.

I have learned the hard way that if you want to receive your packages from Macy's within a relatively short period of time you should pay for the express shipping. Free shipping in my experience can take up to 2 weeks for delivery of your entire package. If you need an item it is far better to pay for express shipping or pick it up at a Macy's location than to wait. They shipped my package via UPS but then transferred it to USPS and therein lies the problem. The US Postal Service tends to deliver very slowly and tracking is difficult. Do yourself a favor and pay for express shipping or pay in time wasted.
