    We saw a nice looking living room leather chair set consisting of a recliner, chair and couch. We made contact with Beatriz ** furniture sales representative who explained we had to order the items and wait for delivery. Then it was discovered the chair was the last available anywhere since the new line for whatever reason was not going to offer the single chair any longer. Since we wanted a set of three we wanted the chair on display. After several days and phone calls the store finally agreed to sell the chair aka floor model to us for the discounted price of $400.00. We were told that all sales were final so make sure we really wanted it. We inspected it closely as we could in the store and found the front two legs to be loose. We were reminded this was the last chair so we could not order a different one. Beatriz checked with an employee that moves furniture around and he said he could fix the loose legs.

    We went back to the store and found that the legs were tight and no longer loose. We then went through with the purchase and brought the chair home ourselves. A few days later we discovered the legs were loose again. The two of us were the only two to even sit in the chair and only on a few occasions. Meanwhile, the other two items were delivered. The so called White Glove delivery is a joke because they didn't follow half of the check list items. Be it that, that is not the main issue. The delivery guys acknowledged that the couch had damaged legs and noted on the delivery ticket. We then contacted the store and they sent a third party furniture repair out to inspect. This man agreed the couch had issues and we were told they would be repaired. We had him look at the loose legs on the chair and he said a long Allen wrench was required to tighten the legs.

    Upon closer look with a flashlight he discovered the screws on each of the front legs we stripped. Because of this they cannot be turned to tighten. It is not known if the store employee did this when he tried to repair the legs or if it was a manufacturing defect in a chair made in China and retails for $1000.00. I then contacted the Macy's furniture manager at the store where we made the purchase. I explained the situation and was told all sales are final on as is floor models. We did not know the item was as is. We thought we were purchasing an expensive chair that simply had loose legs that needed tightening. Instead we purchased a defective chair that the store most likely knew was defective. The store manager said that there was nothing they could do except order a replacement for additional cost which means I would pay for two chairs and have one defective. I said that was not acceptable.

    We were misled into thinking the chair was repaired and did not expect it to fail immediately after purchase. I would never purchase furniture or anything from Macy's again. I have made thousands of dollars of purchases over the years but now I will spend the rest of my life telling my story to others so they don't fall prey to Macy's poor customer service and greedy operations. Obviously, customer satisfaction takes a back seat to company profits.

    As for the chair I purchased that is defective and Macy's won't help with, I have an estimate to for $200.00 to repair from a third party. I think my time and money may be better spent if I leave the chair at the mall entrance to Macy's with a sign on it. I will likely go to small claims court just to drag the employees into court to explain their reasoning of the policy. I will also dispute the purchase with the credit card company. I would find it hard to believe that the consumer laws in the US allow big retailers to sell defective items and not disclose such defect or claim it was repaired and that not being the case. BTW, we have since discovered that you can still order the chair, even 10 of them online so apparently that was another untruth told by the store.

    Credit service experience was horrible. I pay the bills for my family. I opened an AX account based on a recommendation from a store associate when making a purchase. Sounded like a great idea. Took two hours to get thru the transaction because of credit services and their attempts to verify that I was me. Finally get a store manager and we get it done. I get the bill. I pay the entire amount.

    Three days after the due date the collection group calls stating I am overdue. I look and the e-payment processed thru my bank on the correct date. I call. Turns out I accidentally paid the amount to an old Macy's account my wife had. I gave all the information to the account rep. Agent says that it was in my wife's account but is in transition to the new account. Another collection call. I call back. (Keep in mind that the call center is understaffed and every time I call I get to wait 10 to 15 minutes on hold and when I do get someone they sound like they are brand new and don't have a clue what they are doing). Agent can't find the payment and tells me the first agent did not do what was necessary to fix the issue. This agent can't find the payment. I ask to speak to a manager.

    After waiting on hold for 30 minutes (agent tells me there is a long queue for the supervisors), the agent tells me they can't help. Tell me I have to go to my bank and get a transaction record (with the same information on it that I can see online and am trying to give them) and FAX it to them. During this little fiasco they keep calling me about the overdue payment. I went to the bank and got the info. Got a letter from Macy's telling me they have transferred the money.

    Called again today to check and the card still has the same balance (plus interest and late fee). So I wait for 15 minutes to talk to someone. The agent offers to transfer me to payment services but comes back and says due to high volume they are not taking calls. Tells me that the payment is in process of moving to the old account to my wife's newer account. At that point it will be transferred to the new AX account in my name. It will take at least 10 days for this to happen because of the amount of the payment. I have at least 4 hours invested in trying to correct what should be a simple fix. What a horrible experience and Macy's lost a customer for life. One that has shopped at Macy's stores for at least 15 years. And will make it a point to share the horrible experience with everyone I can find to talk to.

    Placed an order online on Dec. 10th. Received a confirmation and notified my order has shipped on Dec. 13th. I tracked my package daily as this was a Christmas gift and wanted to make sure it arrived on time. First notification showed delivery on Dec 19th, then another notification showed delivery on Dec. 21st. Checked again today on Dec. 22nd. Delivery is not until Dec. 28th. So not happy!!!

    I order a perfume gift box as a Christmas gift for my girlfriend on December 13th to be delivered to the store. I get an email that states the order is ready to pickup and it will be held at the store until December 20th. I arrive at the store on December 19th and package is not there. Customer service rep offers me a full refund. "You don't understand", I say, "this is a Christmas gift to my girlfriend. I don't want my money back. I want the package for my girlfriend's Christmas gift." So she cancels my order and reorders the same thing to be expedited to my home address at no additional cost.

    She promises me that package will arrive December 21st. I get an email from UPS stating that package just received and will be shipped out on December 22nd. Estimated arrival is December 26th!!! Shame on you Macy's (Reno, Nevada store)!!! You lose my Christmas gift to my girlfriend, promise me another to be expedited and now you helped to spoil my holiday season. I have been a loyal shopper and Macy's credit card holder for years. Not sure if I will be able to shop at this or any Macy's ever again. They failed to keep their promises and are doing nothing to right this wrong! "BELIEVE?" NEVER AGAIN!!!

    I ordered from Macy’s two fragrances on October 18 and I choose free delivery because they will delivery for 2-3 business days, and my order will be shipped separate. Yesterday I got one order and checked on UPS tracking for second one. Delivery will be on December 22 but today show me on December 26. I called customer service and ask what happened because this is Christmas gift and will be late, after I spoke to three different customer service members and supervisor their response was same they cannot do anything and my order will be on 26, they told me is not true that order should be delivered for 2-3 days (it is 5-7). Even I told them if that is true then I never choose free delivery and I will have my order on time, but nothing from them to solve this issue. Only problem maybe is that my order is new fragrance but still I think they should do something so I hope you can do something for all customers with problem, thank you???

    Over the last 2 months I have been dealing with the worst customer service I've ever received in life with Macys.com. I made a one time purchase, opened a Macy's credit card for the 20% discount I would receive. I received the wrong items, sent them back, received the wrongs items again, sent them back, received the wrong items AGAIN. In the meantime, silly me, I paid the Macy's credit card in full. Then after the last items sent were wrong yet again, I called them and they gave me a shipping label as I wanted to return them all. I shipped them all back and they refuse to credit me. SO WRONG. I've been on the phone with them getting shuffled around for the last time. They refuse to credit my account for the items I returned.

    I ordered a Michael Kors bag during the Black Friday sales. I live in Australia. I waited 15 days for the bag to arrive. When it arrived and I opened it, I found that it had a mark right at the front of the bag. It wasn't damaged during transportation, there was no damage to the packaging. Macy's simply had one defective bag and decided to ship it all the way to Australia, so that to make it nearly impossible to return. Well done. Thanks for ruining my Christmas Macy's.

    I am extremely disappointed with my return/exchange experience today. My daughter and I visited the store today with the intention of returning four dresses purchased on November 4th. I explained to the Customer Service Associate, the following: I had misplaced the original receipt. Two of the dresses were purchased without a price tag (a printout return receipt was provided at time of purchase). I provided the associate with a hard copy of the statement. I, also, offered my platinum card to search the purchased items.

    The associate response: "No, I do not need your card. Show me where to find the dresses, without a price tag because I cannot scan a dress without it". The associate had me walked through the dresses section to find similar dresses. I have been a customer of Macy's for a long time and I was not aware that customers were asked to walk the store to find similar items in order to process a return.

    After walking the store with the associate without results--the associate returned to the counter and asked my daughter to call me to return to the counter. The associate then proceeded to informed me that due to the fact that the purchased items were "Last Call" the 30-day period had been expired. And of course, I was not aware of the policy; otherwise, I would have either return the items during the allowable time rather than wasting my time driving to the store, dealing with heavy traffic during this time of the year, waiting on line, and walking the store to find similar items. I requested to speak with the manager, whom addressed me with short answers. I requested to be provided in written the 30-day period policy. I was provided me with a blank receipt to read. Certainty, there was nothing magical about my visit today.

    Made a purchase on Black Friday, got a email the next day telling me the order didn't go through. Called customer service for details. Gave them my order number, address, etc., but refused to continue the verification process unless they could meet me halfway. They refused, and would not tell me why my order didn't go through, so I hung up and repurchased my item. The next day, I found out my 1st order actually shipped even though I was told it didn't go through, AND I was charged shipping, which had shown as free during that checkout. I called CS back, was told that in order to get refunded for my duplicate order, I would have to return the item to the store.

    I was also told that my credit card would be refunded for the shipping. I was finished with customer service at that point and time and waited until the next day to email them. This time I was told that they COULD stop the 2nd shipment and that my refund for the shipping that I was erroneously charged would be sent as a gift card. Needless to say, I went back and forth several times with customer service, and they never offered any form of compensation or additional customer service, and it just kept getting worse and worse. Terrible service for this level of company.

    So like an idiot I applied for a Macy’s credit card because they had a sale & the girl mention if I applied for a credit card I would get an additional 20% off all my purchases for the next 2 days. Well that was a lie, once I saw my statement and I gave Macy’s a call after being on hold for 20 minutes they said it’s only on non sale items. By the way the interest rate on this card is way too high, I will definitely pay this card off and will not encourage anyone to get it. I believe that’s the only reason they tell you that you will see your 20% off until the day you get your statement and not the actual day of your purchase.

    I love Macy's. I grew up around Macy's. I get tons of gift cards from them around the holidays. They are my go to store for pretty much anything with retail. Especially on Seventh and Thirty 2nd. My information was exposed during the Equifax data breach. Some opened an account with Macy's that was not me. I filed a police report and send an identity theft report to Macy's credit in Ohio. They did not respond. They did not call me. Or write me any letters. I filed the same identity theft report with the credit bureaus and they verified a fraudulent account to Experian and Equifax. Not sure about anybody else but NOBODY WILL PAY FOR ANYTHING THAT IS NOT THEIRS. IT'S ONLY FAIR.

    I got a Macy's credit card in July 2017. I have numerous purchases and received a statement asking me to pay a balance with no details of what that balance was made up of. I requested a complete statement. In the interim I moved and some of my mail was not forwarded to me so when I settled into my new place and started getting mail I received another statement from Macy's with no details AGAIN. I went into a Macy's store and the manager phone credit card services and explained that I had not received statements and that they should take off any charges or fees. I again received a statement with no details and no fees removed. I phoned and requested a detailed statement again and once again no detailed statement...

    After numerous phone calls I got in touch with Credit services who were rude and told me that if I didn't pay the full amount I would be reported to the credit bureau. I again asked for a detailed statement. I eventually got one. I phoned the Macy's credit Card company and they were rude and threatening!! I waited a day and phoned again and got someone and after about an hour of my time on the phone paid the bill minus the charges. I also told them that I would never walk into one of their stores again and would never buy anything from them. They acted like it was some kind of honor to shop there. I told them in no uncertain terms that there were other stores where I would shop and pay less! Good Bye Macy's!!!

    I also tried to cancel an order. It's never going to happen people. I called the help line and the Tech told me that it was too late to cancel my order even though I had been trying to cancel it from the very start. They claim that you have a half an hour to cancel your order. Not true and to add to it all, the tech hung up on me when I told him that the whole ordeal was ridiculous. Risky!

    Had to call three different times to finally get through to customer service. I had two issues. One was why I could not use the Macy's American Express account last night online. It did not recognize my credit card number which I have had for a long time. They said I had never activated it. What kind of any answer is this?

    The other issue is why my payment was not applied correctly. They said I should have called three days before making my payment so they would know how to apply. I just cancelled my account, told them I am shredding my card. I guess I should have known. No way is Macy's ever going to compete with the original Marshall Field and Company. THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS WRONG IS THEIR MOTTO.

    Someone gave me a Macy's gift card a while back. I ordered a Christmas present on 12/6 and the order registered as placed. I never received a confirmation email, so called their not-so-easy to find Customer Service number on 12/10. That first time, I used the automatic service option and found that, despite never receiving a confirmation or email about shipping. My order would be arriving on 12/11. It never arrived. I called their customer service rep and after being on hold, someone answered with an accent so thick that I could not understand her. Eventually, she told me that the package would arrive on 12/12. I waited on 12/12, but it never arrived. I called back and got another person (with a different kind of accent) who spoke a little better but who could not explain anything with any clarity. He eventually established that my order was not shipped, and said he would reorder it (not what I wanted at this point).

    Then he said that what I'd ordered was no longer available and couldn't be ordered at all. They would have not bothered to let me know any of this (this was for a Christmas present for someone else). My order cost was $48, $25 of which was from my gift card. As best I can determine, I am not getting back any more than $21.00 of that, and when asked several times for an explanation about the reimbursement, he didn't have the language skills to give any kind of explanation, so I have no idea whether my money will ever come back to me. I'll never order from Macy's or shop at their stores again.

    I had a terrible experience trying to buy a egift card from Macy's. Their fraud protection agency, which is not based in the US, denies perfectly valid credit cards about half an hour after you've placed your order. If you call to find out why, you will be put on a half an hour hold and told they cannot verify your address which is why your credit card is being rejected. It's ridiculous. No wonder Macy's is going bankrupt.

    I spent three hours in 29 minutes on hold with Macy's this evening. I called four different times was disconnected for three of them. Could not speak to a supervisor nor technical support. The agent online did not speak English well. Customer service was rude and completely uninterested in my complaint. They couldn't answer simple questions or help me log into my shopping bag. When I finally got somebody to help me purchase the one item I wanted they haggled to give me a $30 discount for my 3 1/2 hours of time.

    I had spent over $2300 and obviously no one cared. I am so disappointed with Macy's I'm closing all my accounts and will not do any more shopping here until I get some response from Macy's itself. I think you should be ashamed of my experience. I only hope that we have some sort of conflict resolution. I assume I'll find out soon enough whether Macy's really cares about their supportive customers. I absolutely believe the customer service had the opportunity to resolve this issue to some sort of compromise. $30 was not enough when I never had any intention of getting a discount at all. I simply wanted to buy the things that I had been shopping for so diligently for the holidays. Thanks Macy's you made this holiday very stressful.

    I've never reviewed here before but felt I needed to on this one. I decided to use Macy's online for my Christmas shopping. I had not used Macy's in over 5 years. I noticed they had my old address so I immediately updated it before I shopped. After several times shopping I noticed they sent me emails with the old address. I immediately phoned them and the reassured I would get my package within 2 business days. She was nice and helpful and I felt it was handled well. Until I realized after 4 days it still hadn't come.

    Long story short They say they have no capability. After all of these problems they cannot due to their equipment. They cannot expedite an overnight shipping and cannot tell me when I will get confirmation as to when I will get my package and this my friends is the 3rd time trying to get my daughter's Christmas coat here for Christmas.

    I have observed what I am about to describe in the past, but never had proof. Today, I got the proof and I took pictures to support. I ordered a "Last Act" item online recently (ordered in late November). Today the item arrived and fortunately for me, the "Last Act" price tag happened to still be attached to the item. The price tag on the item was much lower than the price charged online. They intentional sold me a product for a higher price than the price tag on the item. I noticed in the past when I would scan items in the store that were on clearance or Last Act, they would come up for a higher price online. I thought it was odd, and would end up buying in the store due to the difference. I didn't know that indeed Macy's is intentionally overcharging online.

    The consumer should pay the same price at Macy's online as the price tag. When a product arrives with a lower price tag than that charged to the consumer (who couldn't see the price tag until the item arrived), in my opinion a scam. If I thought it was an isolated incident, I would have contacted customer service, but given that I've noticed it several times in the past when scanning items in the store, I believe this is an intentional act and far from an isolated incident. I plan on reporting this to the proper state/federal authorities because it is so offensive to me as a consumer and as a Macy's credit card holder and shopper.

    I came home to find a phone number I was not familiar with on the messages. Called it. NOTHING ever identified by them as being MACY'S at all. Then, this "customer service" person wants to know my account number, and I still had no idea who this even was who had called. I was fuming. So not right. I never had gotten the previous month's statement at all, so this was an issue. Anyway, I did make a payment of higher than 1/2 the balance due. Got the confirmation number. Less than one hour later, I get another phone call from them and they want to know when I am going to get this account in order. I blasted that "customer service" person, telling her this was already resolved (don't tell me they can't take the time to double check someone has not already contacted that person that day), and they were going to reverse any late fees, etc., since mail does get stolen from our neighborhood. I had to go through all of the details all over again.

    By this time, I was ready to pop, and I insisted on talking to a supervisor. She was coolish and very matter of fact, and did not really care about my almost one hour of being inconvenienced today. She said she would file my complaint. You know what? Macy's is not what it use to be. They have some very wonderful employees, but they are so overworked and understaffed. Dressing rooms are usually a mess, because the lone person trying to run a department can't be ringing people up and be cleaning up the dressing rooms at the same time. I am so sad it is in such a bad state of affairs. As for me after today? I am destroying my MACY'S card, and I am NEVER stepping a foot in one of their stores. I would rather spend a bit more at Nordstrom's and be treated with dignity and respect. I am so disgusted with Macy's. Just had to share my experience. Life is too short to be wasting it on these kinds of calls and people who really don't care about you.

    Most terrible experience with Macy's customer service phone line. I placed an order on Friday which was cancelled without a notification. Macy's put an identity check on my Macy's card (when I called they didn’t give me a reason why). Instead of calling to verify identity, they cancelled my order. After waiting for the delivery, I saw a cancellation email in my junk mail, I called to verify myself and to reinstate the order but the items were out of stock. So much for spending my Black Friday shopping time at macy's.com!!!

    When the order was reinstated, they forgot to use my gift card $$ and charged everything (~$300) to my Macy's card. First agent, didn't even agree and kept insisting that the gift card $$ was applied. I said I have the proof, the email with order details. He checked the orders but said it doesn’t mention in the receipt but it was taken off. “Trust me ma’am”. He also said that I am confused, I am not understanding, then he sounded so mad/frustrated. Since he was so rude about it, I asked to be transferred but he refused few times, then I begged him. He laughed sarcastically then said “you are going to hear the same thing, trust me”.

    After waiting 7 minutes, either he came back changing his voice, or someone else whom he had already informed. The 2nd person started the same exact thing/logic “Ma’am you are confused, you are not understanding” even before he asked me “how can I help you”. I hung up and called again to ask them to apply the gift $$ to my order or to my account. But they refused to do that and said they will mail it so I can shop again at Macy's with that card. What a tricky way to get more business!!!

    Most of the agents I dealt with, were very rude, didn't want me to transfer me to another person or to a manager or to an US agent. They used phrases like "Oh my god", "not a big deal ma'am, why can’t you shop again with that gift card", "you are really confused ma'am”, “I don’t know why you are not understanding”. I am so sorry and disappointed, I really hope the corporation knows what’s going on.

    This company needs to get their policies straight!!! I purchased an item online and was told by the customer service rep I could return the item in store. I first purchased a LG and decided I needed an extra LG after I had worn the coat a couple times. Returned it in store no problem. Got the 2nd coat and they sent another size LG not xl. I decided I would just keep it. I wore it about 5 or 6 times and decided the LG just wasn’t right. I called customer service again and explained the situation. They said, “Yes no problem just take the coat back to the store”...

    So I drive to the store and after going through 2 employees and 2 managers they said no. Since I had worn the coat they wouldn't take it back! It's been 2 weeks. Really only wore it 5 /6 times. Plus Macy's mistake to begin with. So I had to drive across town to UPS and Return it by mail. I spent way too much of my valuable time dealing with this coat! Had I have said I was unhappy with the quality she said she would have returned it... How the hell does this make any sense? Never will I shop with Macy's again!

    Most terrible experience with Macy's ever in the past 2.5 weeks. I came in on Nov. 16th to the Macy's women's shoe department and purchased 2 pair of shoes. Unfortunately, as I was trying them on, I left a store bag from another store that I purchased from that night on a chair. As I came home, I quickly called back and asked if my store bag was still there. An employee from Macy's said they did have it which I was relieved and responded I would be coming in on Monday to grab it since I will be out of town on the 17th. I came in on Monday to the shoe department and an associate didn't even bother checking and quickly rushed me off to go to the executive office since it would most likely be there.

    As I got to the office, I was informed my bag was not there and they did not know where it was. I was angry and shocked since no one seemed to even try to look. I sat for 10 mins as the employee "called" down to the shoe department. NO luck. I gave them my number and the description of what was in the bag. I was told a manager will look into it and will call me back in a few days. NO response. NO call. I finally called them back and was told nothing has shown up to the office. Called again today and once again the same usual response. I was so frustrated! So I asked in the event that my bag was now lost in MACY'S possession, what will happen? The employee told me that it was my fault I left it behind and maybe a customer took it.

    At this point, I began to think that maybe one of the employees stole my bag or lost it and they do not want to take the blame. I quickly replied back that had I called that night and was told my bag WASN'T there then yes it would have been my fault. However, my bag WAS there! So where is it now? I keep getting the runaround from MACY'S. I have left 3 voicemails for the shoe manager and the store manager. No response. I HAVE filed a complaint with Macy's customer service. They are cheaters and liars. Possibly thieves. WHERE IS MY BAG?!!! It's the principle behind it that makes me upset.

    If Macy's has genuinely lost my bag, either reimburse me which I have evidence of my payment or an incentive. Be honest instead of saying my bag was never returned to the office. Someone knows where my bag is. They must have cameras and most calls to Macy's are recorded no? I even took a screenshot of the time I called Macy's that night on the 16TH for evidence as well as the employee that rang my shoes. I'm just disgusted with this place. I will find my answer no matter how many stupid calls I have to make in order for someone to take responsibility! Stay away from this place!

    I ordered a pair of boots in the wrong color. Called them to fix this very simple issue. I'm used to finding a way to understand incredibly broken English since I live in a multicultural area in a mixed-race family, but the CSR's English was almost deliberately bad. I didn't understand him, and I could tell he didn't understand a word I was saying either. When he did speak coherently it was just to tell me the details of my order "you ordered this on this day at this time and you paid that amount"... And when I said, "Yes. I know but I'd like to change the color..." "You paid this on this day in that amount"... I was pulling my hair out by the end of it. The person finally managed to tell me that the ordered hadn't been processed yet and couldn't be changed, that I should call back a half hour later once it was confirmed.

    So I called back a half hour later. At which point the next non-English speaking CSR managed to tell me after a half hour that there is a half hour LIMIT on changes and I would have to call back after getting the confirmation email. Calling back after I got the confirmation email took an entire afternoon and when I finally got frustrated enough to be fully honest with the CSR "You're making changes to my order and that's the only thing I can understand. I can't understand what you're saying and you don't understand me. I need to speak to a supervisor or someone else who can understand? Do you understand? Do you know what I'm saying?"

    And the person just started repeating the details of the account AGAIN. Finally after HOURS and DAYS of not wanting to seem racist or intolerant for wanting to understand the words being said to me in supposedly my own language, I just blurted out "please can I speak to someone who speaks English" and the person hung up on me. I don't even know what they did! I think they canceled my order, or something, but I have literally no idea because I honest-to-God couldn't understand a word the person was saying and I'm pretty sure the person didn't understand me at all.

    I never received the confirmation email or receipt, and could only contact them with my temporary order number throughout the process, and now my order is probably being held up at the border because someone in their call center decided to cancel/have it sent back to them WITHOUT providing any solution to me. I tried to contact them online and was immediately disconnected. I should have just taken the drive to New York. When it comes to outsourcing customer service, Macy's is the worst.

    Called to cancel a online order within 1/2 hour of ordering, which is usually no problem. All day the systems were down. Macy's kept asking me to call back every hour. After 7 hours, I finally spoke with someone who said they could cancel my order. The next morning, I found it was never cancelled. I was lied to, about the cancellation, my bank account was charged, and they now could not stop the order, they said it had been shipped, nothing they could do. Meanwhile my money is tied up until the item comes back to them. WRONG. I should have been reimbursed at the time of cancellation! It was not just the money they took from my account, (I felt robbed) but also, it was these annoying factors about Macy's customer service:

    1.) Being on hold for hours and hours throughout my Black Friday Shopping day. Put on hold continuously. Frustrating. 2.) When I spoke with their customer service, I had a hard time understanding them, they had very heavy accents. Very hard to understand for me. 3.) While I was on the phone with several (3 total) customer service people, I kept asking for a manager or supervisor, and they would connect me with a nonworking number, then I would have to start all over again to try to reach help, being on hold, listening to chatter in background, loud and annoying.

    4.) LOUD, the background noise in the customer service calls while trying to correct this problem with Macy's was unbearable. Chatting loudness of others talking, very disrupting while trying to understand someone with a very heavy accent. 5.) I ended up buying the same sheets I wanted at another store online and I got two sets for the price of Macy's one. So all in all, life is good now. But, no more shopping at Macy's!

I also signed up for autopay. When my bill arrived the discount and the Plenti points were not applied and I was being charged over $5 in interest. On my bill that should have been only $50. I called and tried to get help and nothing happen they refused to talk about it, another time they put me on hold and then hung up. I kept trying. Then I get a notice I have been charged a late fee. Which made no sense as I put on auto pay. But they stated I did not. I know I did as I got an automatic email stating so. I paid the minimum listed that was $64.13 on 10/31 which they took out of my bank.

    Then today on 11/22/17 they took the same exact out again saying you signed up for minimum and that is what it was. Yes, the month before but they did not deduct it and double charged me the same amount. I only owe them $64.13 but they are showing over $200. NO matter what I pay the price goes up.

    I've reached my breaking point with Macy's, after giving them the benefit of the doubt for the last 10 years. The Macy's of yesteryear is dead, and the place they call Macy's today is maybe a step up from JC Penny. The physical store: Dirty. Stained carpets. Dirty dressing rooms. Broken tiles. Crammed with merchandise that's displayed haphazardly. Can't find a salesperson to ring you up most of the time. Prices are usually more expensive in-store than they are online. Sure they'll honor the online price, but it's an exhausting game to play every time.

    Online: Inadequate descriptions of merchandise. Sizing charts not always available for clothes. Cluttered website. It's a gamble to buy things from them online. Express shipping was a fail once, and they refused to refund the shipping costs until I filed a complaint with the BBB. Prices fluctuate daily. Not willing to play that game anymore either. Can't use coupons on mostly everything now, as everything is excluded. Not worth having a Macy's card anymore.

    Customer Service: I hope you don't ever have to call about your Macy's credit card. There's been some fraud issues I was dealing with. All the phone calls I made had me waiting 50 minutes on hold each time. Then when a rep finally comes on from a call center overseas, they cannot help you and you cannot even understand them. This has happened so many times, that the last time I called, I also closed my Macy's card, which I've had for over 10 years. Bye Bye Macy's. I see they're closing stores across the USA? I hope all of them get closed.

When I said this was unacceptable and asked to speak to a supervisor, she then told me the packages were actually returned to the company’s shipping center and the former employee was mistaken. She could refund the order and place a new one to expedite. The card used did not have enough funds to cover now a new large replacement order and the pending refund cost for the three to five days it would take to receive, therefore I did not want to have this occur either and was told that was my only option.

    I was then transferred to another manager and placed on hold for 30 minutes. He then told me the same. At this point the company now had my goods and my money in their possession and refused to do anything different for me. These goods were all still in stock and could have easily been reshipped on a new order with a refund necessary since they already had their items back. I will be placing a chargeback with my bank.

I signed up for a Macy's card after buying a watch, which was my first mistake. 20 minutes later I wanted to use the card again in another area of the store to buy some clothes and the card couldn't be used because they couldn't "verify my information". I had to stand at the register for 45 minutes on the dirty store phone that the guy behind the register handed me so I could wait around to try to get the issue figured out. After answering a few questions, my information was still not verified so I decided I would just use a different form of payment. I had already paid for part of the purchase with my credit card with the expectation that the rest of it would be put on my Macy's card, and then when the Macy's card didn't work I tried to use the credit card for the rest of the purchase but their system doesn't allow that.

    The employee offered to cancel the order and ring everything up again (and it was quite a lot) so I could use the card but I didn't want to wait for that so I used a different card. After this fiasco I tried to log on to the website to pay off the card and cancel it but the website wouldn't allow me to register my card. I called customer service and after waiting on hold for a while I talked to someone (who, by the way, I could barely understand) and was able to get my information verified (finally) so I could log on.

    I generally do not buy extended warranties or protection plans but was talked into this one because the salesperson sold me on the fact that if I do not use the plan I will get a store credit for the full amount. This was a 5-year protection plan. After 5 years and never having used the plan I contacted Macy's to get my store credit. My credit was refused because the terms of the agreement state you must file for the credit within 3 months of expiration. I applied within 6 months of expiration.

    A company with good customer service, one that wants to keep customers, would waiver the fact I was outside the 3 month window given I at least applied for the credit within the same year of the 5 year plan expiration. But no, Macy's is completely inflexible on this. I can understand denying my credit if I requested the credit, say, a couple years after expiration. But I applied for the credit within the same year of expiration. Who remembers the exact month they make a purchase some 5 years later? I find it amazing that a business experiencing declining sales/profits and closing stores is not doing everything within reason to keep customers happy. Particularly in this case, where I would have spent the credit within Macy's anyway. Needless to say I will never buy a Macy's protection plan again. Moving forward I will avoid shopping at Macy's altogether.

    I have been a Macy's card account holder for 4-5 years now, and this is the 3rd time I have had trouble with. So here's what happened this time. I paid my balance in full after I made my purchase. But apparently I overpaid it. So, they sent me a refund check saying I paid in full couple of months back. What does that make you think? You have zeroed out the balance right? No. Apparently they kept some balance on the account, and sent you refund check for only a partial amount. As I was under the impression that I paid in full, I did not bother checking my balance. They kept adding a late fee of $38.00 every month since then, and my credit score dropped because I had 3 months past due. That is when I realized what this greedy company has been doing. They do not send you text alerts or emails that you have a past due or at least you have balance left that needs to be paid.

    The only email you get is that: "Your statement is ready", and that is it. Is this a tactics to steal money from their customers? When I tried talking to the customer service, the person was not only rude, but also blamed me for not "looking" at my statement balance regularly. This made me cancel my account with them, and I will NEVER shop with them again. Neither will I let anyone I know apply for the card nor let them make any purchases with these greedy people.

    Macy's store in Salisbury MD disgusting carpeting throughout the store. Smells musty like an old man. Changing room walls and doors are gross; sticky fingerprints all over the doors. Floor looks like and feels like it hasn't been cleaned in decades. Appearance is HUGE and most of your stores are NOT impressive.

    I called to let them know I would be making my payment a week after my due date due to not working for 14 days due to Harvey. And the Customer service representative was rude and said, "Are you making this payment with your checking account?" and they doubled my payment. This company has no sympathy for people. Our city has and still is going through a lot and people are finding it hard to get back on their feet and this people are just thinking about getting their money.

    This is not the only store credit card I have. I have many others and they all called me or emailed me to let me know I didn't have to worry about paying 'till October. I will be paying Monday regardless but it's just rude to call and ask for an extension and not even be asked if you have a home. All she said was, "Oh when will you pay?" I told her and she already wanted to set a payment with my bank account and which I can't use because the bank close to me is still rebuilding after the floods. I told her I would give it at the store and she asked, "How much?" Umm well the amount she told me which was double my minimum payment smh.

    I purchased a formal gown for my granddaughter’s wedding. It was not suitable when I showed it to her. I went to return the gown and was told it was 62 days from purchase and they would not accept the gown for credit. Their policy on formal gowns was changed prior to my purchase, to 60 days, but at no time was I informed of this at purchase, it is not written any place I could find. I was informed that the 60 days was only for formals, other depts had their own criteria for returns. The gown has every tag still attached. I do not have the original receipt but do have the signed tag from that day when I opened an account with Macy's. I was informed that all transactions prior to 60 days are WIPED off the computer and there is no record.

    Just closed my account of over 10 years with Macy's. I changed my auto pay bank account in May. I received a confirmation email that it was changed and thought all was good. I didn't order many things from them during the summer because I was incredibly busy with work so, I didn't bother to open my statements as I figured whatever little I owed, would come out of my bank account. Two months later, I was ordering over $100 in merchandise (as I often did with Macy's) and my card was declined. That's when I found out my account was past due. I looked at the auto pay and the info was correct but no charges had been made to the account since I changed it. I didn't understand but took care of it immediately even paying the late fees because I did not want to deal with waiting and calling them during the week as I was scared to mess up my credit, which I **painstakingly** have been building up for the past several years.

    Unfortunately, today I woke up to an email from my credit score tracker saying it changed. It changed from 790 to 704 because of a stupid 2 month late balance of $110 in the Macy's card. I am devastated that my credit could go down so much for so little. THIS WAS NOT MY FAULT! THEIR AUTO PAY SYSTEM FAILED. I called Macy's and spoke with the Credit bureau representative. Showed my evidence that I had set up auto pay correctly and NEVER received a SINGLE past due notice from them. They said it's still my responsibility to know if the auto pay went through and were pretty cold about it. Well, I called to close my account and that representative was really nice saying I was a "loyal customer and if you would consider keeping my account open?" I'm like, "Can you help me clear my credit score?" They're like "No, sorry." So I asked her to close it. She said, "We hope you consider shopping at Macy's by other means." Ha! As if.

    I am really bummed about this because I actually was a loyal customer, my friends have been trying to get me to shop elsewhere (both online and in other stores) for years and I stuck with Macy's... As they say, the best way to show how upset we are with anything in this capitalist society is with money, so I will NEVER EVER AGAIN use any of my hard-earned money (or credit cards) at Macy's. I guess I will finally get to check out those other stores...

    Macy's is the worst department store ever. Their credit card is over priced with interest of 26%. Be careful on the day before and of your due date. The following phone number will call you stating your payment has not been received (NO ** IT'S NOT DUE YET). **. They tell you your payment will not be in your account by using the online payment method in time. They claim I must give my checking and routing numbers to my bank in order for them to not assess any other fees. ** SCAM ARTISTS!

    Then they will harass you every hour on the hour after this - until all hours of the night. Even if you do make a payment now you have a late fee that they will hound you over. I have a balance of $86 on my account. I really seriously do not believe Macy's wants another class action lawsuit like they had in 2014 where they did the exact same thing. Keep making reports about the AWFUL Macy's and their non-professional collections department. I attempted to contact MACY'S corporate office today and was not helped at all. They did not want to take the complaint without me giving a ton of information that has nothing to do with my account or complaint. Information such as: full name, ss#, DOB, drivers license #, and address (and yes my bank routing and account numbers). Why do you need any or all of that for a complaint. Well in my opinion it is because MACY's is not what it used to be.

    I don't usually do online orders, because I enjoy the in store shopping experience with most retail stores. I was looking for a certain color and design of bedding online with Macy's. In May of 2017, I thought I had found exactly what I was looking for, until I had opened it and put it on my bed. Two days later I saw a brown little bug crawling on my comforter... Yes... It was a BED BUG!!! I had not take the pillow shams out of the zip locked bag that the bedding comes in. After further investigation, looking in the inside of the pillow shams, I saw several BED BUGS on the inside corners of both shams.

    I might have overreacted, but I decided to not take a chance of an infestation and I bagged up the bedding and in the trash it went. I called Macy's and they wanted me to send the contaminated bedding back through UPS to give me a credit. I explain to the representative that I had thrown the bedding in the trash and that I thought would be a unhealthy thing to send the bedding back to them, even if I still had it, that furthering the contamination to UPS and countless other consumers would be an unprofessional and wrong thing to do.

    Macy's argued with me about the refund, eventually Macy's did credit my account with a full refund. Last week I decided to place an order with Macy's again, this time clothing and towels... All gifts were gifts for a 4 person birthday celebration. My mistake not looking over the items as carefully as I should have. My son received the box from Macy's and placed it on the floor just inside the living room. Later that day when I got home, I picked the box up and placed it on my sofa to open it and as I pulled out the items, I did not see anything out of the ordinary. Two days later after the birthday celebration, I went to sit down on my sofa and noticed a brown cluster on the same place that I had set the Macy's box. As I looked closer, there were about 8 BED BUGS all the same size (pencil eraser size), this made me sick to my stomach, now knowing that I can no longer feel safe with online orders or Macy's.

    I called my daughter and daughter in law yesterday, letting them know that they need to look at all items and gift bags for BED BUGS. My daughter called me this morning and indeed she found a couple of little BED BUGS in my granddaughter gift and gift bag. The gift bags had been purchased on my way to the celebration, so I know the bugs did not come from the gift bags. In speaking with Macy's again about this ongoing problem, Andrew told me he could credit my account with a 20% discount. I am not happy with the way Macy's does business. From now on I will deal directly with the name brand office when placing my order. BUYER BEWARE!!!

They took all the details and told me it will be resolved ASAP. I got my August statement now and there is additional charge of $11 for Interest charge. If there is a delay in payment, then you promptly charge late fee and interest. But when Macy's charged interest by mistake, they are not giving back my money immediately.

    I am completely done with Macy's. I have never been so outraged with a company as much as I am with Macy's. Last year I reported fraud on my account because someone utilized my card and maxed it out. I rarely ever go to Macy's so once I received the fraud alert, I contacted them right away to get to the bottom of issue. Fast forward months later when I try to order online with either my Macy's card or regular credit/debit cards, the order gets canceled for whatever reason. I never looked into why any of my orders were canceled, I just figured that the item was sold out and left it alone. I can make purchases with my Macy's card in store with no problem, however. Today (July 30th, 2017), I placed an order and the same thing happened so I finally decided to give them a call and figure out what is going on. I spoke to a total of five customer service representatives and none of those incompetent representatives were of any help.

    One rude agent even hung up the phone on me because I expressed to her that she needed to give me a better clarification as to why I cannot utilize my card online, other than I needed to "change my provided information." All of the information I provided was correct; from the Macy's card information, address, phone number and name. I frequently shop online so I am pretty familiar on how to appropriately complete an online order form. I cannot frequent the stores as often and online shopping is much more convenient.

    I am trying to give them MY MONEY, and no one is doing anything to help me understand WHY I cannot place any online orders. Ridiculous. I am a bit apprehensive about closing my Macy's card because I know not will affect my credit score which I have worked so hard for. But this is an action I need to take because I cannot support a company that is doing very little to address consumer concerns. Once I pay off my balance within the next few weeks, I am going close my card ASAP because Macy's clearly doesn't need any of my business.

I called them and the lady could not track my order via surname or customer number. I began to worry and she told me a manager would call me later in the day. Sure enough she did and told me the chain wasn't there and that the repairman would send it back Monday and it should arrive at the store on Wednesday.

    Then Thursday came and I received no phone call yet again. I called and was told that the chain had been there since Monday. I got to the store and the lady asked me if I had been notified. I told her that I was the one who had to call.

    MACY'S credit services are horrible. I had a Macy's credit card for a few years stuck on 200.00 credit limit. So every time I requested a credit limit I was always declined. So I applied again and I thought that Macy's would grant my request for an increase in my credit line. So they asked me if they could call my cell phone to see if this was really me. Instead of calling my cell phone they called my landline phone. While I was talking with them on my landline phone I have used the Macy's credit card and paid off my balance to them. I guess this isn't responsible enough.

    They also gave me some bogus story. The reason they could not grant me a credit line increase was because I did not subscribe to their text alerts... which makes absolutely no sense. So I canceled my Macy's card and I will never apply with them again. No wonder Macy's closing stores. They do not know how to treat their paying customers who are responsible until they get their act together. I suggest you shop somewhere else that respects you as a customer. IMHO.

When the khaki/dark brown Accordion signature wallet finally arrived, right away I knew it was counterfeit. It came wrapped in a plastic bag with multiple rubber bands around it. The bands were too tight and "damaged" the wallet. The price was torn off. The signature "Cs" did not line up, and more. This shipment came from the San Antonio warehouse.

    At present & after talking to different people thru Macy's 800 phone #, Macy's is allegedly shipping a "real" one to me, but this has been a terrible, terrible, terrible hassle. I went thru three different phone representatives trying to get them to understand AND document (for Coach's sake & theirs - um, their stores are closing) what had happened so as to crack down on guilty culprits swapping out real for counterfeit merchandise somewhere at Macys.

    The representatives each had a spiel down that didn't match what I was trying to do. It is NOT enough for them to send me a different (authentic?) wallet. They need to have better security in their warehouses or elsewhere & dispense -- in the harshest manner possible -- those guilty employees who are doing this. I write this because there are other reports on the web by people who have received fake Coach items from Macys. After years of loyalty, I don't think I will be shopping there ever again.

    I recently ordered a set of towels on sale. Received towels but one towel was the wrong color. Called customer service. I was told to return the towel and a replacement towel would be mailed. I returned the towel and one month later was credited. I emailed customer service with supporting documents and requested a replacement towel at the sale price. I never received a response. This is the second time this type of "mistake" has occurred with Macy. Lousy customer service. I won't shop at Macy's again.

    On Saturday, May 13, 2017 me and my husband had a terrible customer service experience at Macy's at Dulles Town Center Mall in Sterling, VA. After a while of shopping, I went to use the bathroom upstairs in the Women's department. As soon as I entered, the bathrooms were disgusting, had a strong stench, and messy. It was odd since there was an attendant inside that was supposed to be cleaning, yet the bathroom was still a disaster. I walked into the first stall, did my job and noticed there was absolutely no replenishment of toilet paper. Next, I continued to step into the next stall. Suddenly, I fell to the ground and had slid almost all the way under the stall. The floors were wet and I screamed for help and the attendant did absolutely nothing even though she was right outside the bathroom

    While struggling to get up, I reached for my phone and called my husband for help. After, exiting the bathroom in pain we went to report the incident. The incident was reported to Gary of loss prevention Macy's. He seemed the least bit concerned or apologetic about the situation. We did not feel like the situation was taken seriously, when there were injuries present. He then proceeded very rudely to ask for my driver's license and details on the incident. After gathering the details, he said that someone from Customer Service would contact us in 2-3 days. He didn't offer any kind of medical help or anything. He was basically very rude and didn't possess common customer courtesy.

    On Monday, May 15, 2017, Catherine, a customer service representative called me. She was very rude and inconsiderate about the situation, a reoccurring pattern with Macy's staff. She did not acknowledge that the bathrooms were supposed to be cleaned and replenished daily. Instead, she claimed the cleaning ladies will "get to it" when they can. I was offered $150 for the entire experience which is ridiculous. She also mentioned that she has used the toilet several times when there was no toilet paper and it was no big deal. She mentioned that Macy's will not pay for any of my medical bills or damages.

    I asked to speak with upper management/Macy's legal counsel to report the incident to someone who could provide more information. She did not give me the information and argued with me instead. I asked her who her CEO was and she said she doesn't know who the CEO of Macy's is. I had been a loyal life long customer of Macy's until now. The customer service is absolutely terrible and the staff is unprofessional! I am extremely disappointed and will never shop at Macy's again!

    I don't live near a Macy's and had bought a black jumpsuit for $99 that I never wore and still had the tag "Macy's Tag" on it with the UPC and price. I mailed it to the returns warehouse that I have sent merchandise to before. I included my contact information but did not have a receipt although I shop at Macy's all the time (online) and have a Macy's credit card etc. I said I would take a gift card for whatever the current price is since I lost my receipt. I gave the tracking information for the package which was received by Macy's Warehouse in WV.

    They are asking me for the UPC#. I didn't make a copy. I gave all the other info such as tracking number, item, price. They are saying that I am out of luck but can go to the store that I bought it at to return it. I don't have it they have it. Hello??? Is anybody home? Why can't Macy's do a return from Macy's? Why do they make returns so difficult. I love shopping at Macy's but the returns are a full time job and more than once I was never credited so NO MORE. NORDSTROM'S is great with shipping anywhere and makes returns easy. I am done! I am sick of throwing money away!

    I recently visited the Lehigh Valley Mall Macy's. As I walked in to the Macy's i couldn't help myself but started looking for bargains in the Home Department, When i was approached by a young man that asked if i needed help finding anything, at first i said no but as he walked away i asked if an item that I was interested in would take a coupon. This young men started working with me from that point on, taking his time to explain and answer all my questions. By the time i was done shopping I was offer to have my items carried out because I had so much and so many items. I am sometimes hesitant to shop and ask for help, but this young man was courteous, patient, knowledgeable, and best of all did not pressure me to buy anything. This was one of my best shopping experience because of the exceptional customer service and professionalism from this young man. I would go back and shop with him again.

    I have been shopping at Macy's since it changed names! I MISS RICH'S! What a shame... This store is so outdated. I can tell Macy's is losing customers! And you read about Macy's and the other stores as well! What is going on? You do not carry any good brands anymore / employees just standing around, no customers! It needs a makeover! Carpets are soiled and stained. Needs a complete overhaul!... Needs a fresh coat of paint! Dressing room are nasty. No chairs to sit in. Not bright, very dull. No life in it!

    I used to work there during my college years and I can remember it being soo busy! I used to have a relative that worked in women's sportswear. She quit working there! NO MOTIVATION IN THE STORE! I go in there and it is dead! Gosh, Macy's used to have a big name! Where did it go? We really do not have a mall except where Macy's is... At Haywood Mall in Greenville, S.C. Maybe if some things changed in there it might be a better shopping experience! NOW the hours are changing! I think all the store managers need to get together with the CEO or something.

    Macy's is a terrible company. I will never shop there again and will continue to speak out against them in any available channel. I have been a Macy's credit card holder for 10 years. Last year, I paid double my bill to cover the nominal minimum balance payment. Each time I have paid double my bill, it will make my next minimum payment $0. Now, if Macy's had ALERTED me that I had a bill due, I would have promptly paid it. Macy's never mailed me a bill and I did not receive an email. Macy's tried to respond in my BBB complaint that it had an email on file that is not my email.

    They will not remove the past due from my credit report even though I was never alerted to having a bill due. They are scammers, and this is how they treat customers of 10 years! Not to mention, when you pay off your bill, the interest will carry over to the next cycle, so you may end up in a position like me. Macy's won't contact you, their online bill system is completely unusable and then they will send you to collections and hit your credit report. If you are late on a payment, you should receive communication before being sent to collections! That is completely unacceptable! Macy's is the WORST.

    I been a Macy's customer for years, used to be my favorite place to shop until couple of months ago because of the way that I feel, I'm aggravated and here is why. On Sep 10, 2016 I bought the Thanks for Sharing something that you guys run every year, I bought it in 2015 too and I think it was worth it. On Feb 7, 2017 I called customer service because I haven't receive my Thanks for Sharing gift card, and the person who picked up the phone said that they were still mailing them out, he even told me according to him how much I was getting.

    A month went by and I still didn't get my card, I called them. The person on the phone told me that "I NEVER BOUGH IT". "Are you serious?" Thanks God that I have all my receipt email to me, yes I had to go thru all my Macy's receipt which are A LOT. I called them back and gave them the date of when I pay for this and they found it. According to this person he put a note in the computer that they were going to do and audit to find out how much money am supposed to get back and that they were going to send me a notice.

    April 21st I still haven't received anything. I called them again; yes this is my 4 phone call regarding this issue. By the way at this time I'm super aggravated because this entire BS and the run around. I had to explain myself again to this other person. She looked in the notes and there was nothing written regarding my issue, she made a note and said that she was going to speak to her supervisor about what was going on she was really nice. She said she was going to call me back on Monday 4/24. She didn't.

    On April 25th I called to make sure they were working on it and I guess they are finally working on this because the person who picked up told me about the notes. I'm really upset with Macy's Phone customer service, they shouldn't be telling people that they are going to do something and then just don't do it. I been a loyal customer for many years, always pay my bill on time. Never had any problems before until now, am even thinking about closing my account because of this. I was waiting for my gift card back in Feb because I wanted to use it during the friends and family. Now is April they are having another friends and family. I guess I will not be taking advantage because I don't have my gift card.

    I wish Macy's would records all the conversations when we call customer service and they would see how bad their phone customer service is. I wanted to give corporate a phone call but didn't find a number online. Next time am at a Macy's store I'll make sure I speak with a manager to get more info on who to contact to for complains. Hopefully someone read this and just don't cross theirs arms.

    Horrible experience with the Washington, DC staff. They ignored the elevator alarm ringing when me, my wife and our 17-month old baby were stuck in it for 15 minutes. Staff working in the Bags Dept. outside the elevator turned a deaf ear to it. Luckily a passing by customer heard us banging on the door and helped us out. Security staff working on the same floor also ignored the alarm and instead of apologizing for their mistake advices us to dial 911 if there was an emergency with us. How stupid can they be. Manager does not take responsibility of what happened and instead asks to complain to Macy's head office. Surely these guys don't take their jobs seriously and don't know what customer service actually means.

    I have about 10 different credit cards and this is by far the worst. I am trying to be objective but Macy's is making it very hard. Received an email this morning with a pending balance although I haven't used the card in months. Upon login, I am being asked to ADD my credit card as if I had never used it. A balance for interest of USD 2.00 appeared online. I called technical support and was assured I did not owe anything. strange. Also, upon logging in, another credit card number appears on the screen. I questioned this but was not given a good explanation but rather asked to log out and log in after about 5 minutes.

    I believe it has to do with the fact that there is a card number, and an ACCOUNT number, and although it would be great if they were the same, they are not, but no one was able to explain this to me. I have been with them for many years and during these years, had to change cards and accounts constantly for some reason. My credit score is excellent, yet I have an unbelievable credit line of USD 1300 to go nuts on shopping at Macy's. NOT.

    I signed up for Thanks for Sharing and have not received my gift card. I contacted customer service and they told me not to worry it will be mailed to me in April. I went to the store to buy something and the saleslady told me the customer service gift card has been mailed already. People have already used their gift card so I emailed customer service and they practically told me they have no access to my acct and cannot help me. The email said I should go back to the store coz they can assist me when the saleslady in store told me they have no access to that so I would need to call customer service.

    This is so much trouble for me. They advertise and advertise all their promotions and don't care if consumers actually get the promo. I will never sign up for that again or do their other promos like earn 10$ for every 50$ spent coz I didn't get that either. And they don't care. The kinky thing works is coupons on % off when you shop. Anything that you are suppose to get in a later date does not come and they won't back it up.

    I clearly remember when shopping over the Nov/Dec 2016 holiday time that a store clerk mentioned a "reward". If I gave $25 I would receive a coupon for $25 in January (what I don't remember but think it was for $25 off purchases either applied on a one-time purchase or until the benefit was reached). I filled out a "donation" form at the register. I did not receive a coupon nor anything in the mail other than the normal shopping discounts. When I called about a billing question, and explained this other promotion I did not receive after paying them $25!! I was told that I was incorrectly told something by the store clerk. (Possibly a temporary clerk for the holiday?) But I am angry that I paid an extra $25 over and above my purchase!!!

    We received a package from Macy's that contained a packing slip with the correct items on it, but someone else's contents. We ordered wine glasses and got china. It took me nearly an hour on the phone with a Macy's representative to work through a solution; since Macy's wanted me to print a return label and BRING the heavy box to a local UPS store. I negotiated for a UPS pickup, and that's what I did. Meanwhile, the wine glasses I ordered to use on Easter won't be here in time, and Macy's offered no accommodation or help in getting something more quickly. I am amazed at the lack of customer-friendly policies, since we have normally spent a significant amount of money each year at Macy's. I guess I'll be looking elsewhere for future purchases.

    Purchased a recliner for $647.04 at the Roseville, MN Home Store. Since Macy does not allow customers to pick up the item themselves, I had to pay a $65 delivery fee. Could not recline the chair. Within the required 3 day return policy I contacted Macy and told them I would like to return it. They had a tech come out to see if he could loosen the chair so it would recline easier. I still could not do it with ease. Had the chair picked up within the week to return it.

    At the time of purchase, I didn't understand there would be a restocking fee and I would not get the delivery fee back. I see the salesperson did star the restocking fee paragraph, but we did not discuss it in length, therefore, I did not comprehend what was to happen. I received $496.55 back. I have to pay $150.49 and I have no chair. After much discussion with three customer service reps, I did get them to waive the pickup fee. I have learned to be aware of restocking fees when purchasing furniture. Also, I will not shop at Macy's home store again.

    I recently visited a new city, saw a Macy's and decided to check it out. While there I purchased a 10 pc set of All-Clad Stainless Steel Cookware. On the actual product someone had placed a store sticker with the price of $699 for the set of 10 while the sign in the store read $999 for the 10 pc set. One cashier told us that we could have the set for the $699 price so I decided to buy it with an additional stock pot. Another employee, possibly a supervisor, berated her in front of us for allowing us to purchase it at the "sale price". She said that was a pre-buy and we should not be able to get it for that price. On the way home, I stopped at my local Macy's to see if they had other pieces I could add to my new set.

    I purchased an additional saucepan and a 12" fry pan that was not part of the 10 pc set. After I got home I looked up the set online so that I could see if there was more I could add. Online I saw that the set was indeed $699 and ALL the other pans were also all on sale. I was charged full price at my local Macy's! I went back to Macy's, print out in hand and was refunded my overcharge. I don't think I should have to bring in an advertised price to get an item in the store for that price.

    Been a Macy's card holder for about 20 years and I've always received a monthly statement. Somehow Macy's stopped sending them to me and I didn't' realize until a credit agency mailed me a letter to negotiate a settlement for my account. I had charged $55.06 in Sept of 2016 and with the fees the bill was now $194.06. I spoke to three different people (all they way up to corporate) and the best they could do was remove two fees and drop the total to $120. Macy's takes no responsibility for ensuring that your statement is mailed and went so far as to say the statement is only a "courtesy reminder" as you should know you owe the money. If you don't pay the bill they promise to ruin your credit and put you in collections.

    The most interesting thing is that once I paid the $120 I got three pieces of mail from Macy's the following week. It's amazing how they can get the mail to me now but can't explain 5 months of no mail??? My suggestion is to call the corp assistant as she claims she gets very few complaints of this sort, yet the internet is riddled with tons of complaints of this nature. Her name is Kerri **. Her number is (888) 622-9793 ext ** - perhaps if corporate is more aware they might actually do something to rectify the issue. For now it seems like a scam to me, so I will never step foot in a Macy's store ever again.

    When I purchased my rug, the salesman told me about getting the Worry No More plan to protect against anything that damage the rug and would cover up to 7 years. He also suggest I purchase the padding which I did after he showed me how soft the extra cushion felt. As soon as I got the rug, the shag was coming off but I thought it was the left over shags coming off since it was new. I decided to give it about a month thinking I have 7 years with the Worry No More Plan I purchased. But I have a very huge and heavy sectional couch sitting in it. Slowly the shags were coming off and I was very busy and thought if I have 7 years that covers anything damage to the rug so I decided to put it off since I'm very busy anyways.

    Finally I decided to give Macy's a call. They told me I was out of manufacture warranty and I told them I had the Worry No More Plan. I spoke to someone at Macy's and I was told that my protection plan doesn't cover for shags. And the manufacturer warranty was only for 1 year. I explained that the salesman lie to me saying it'll cover everything. I didn't realized that I had purchased my rug, pad and Worry no More Plan just passed the 1 year. Since the salesman no longer works there, they said there's nothing they can do. If I had known that my Worry No More Plan only covers stains, I would of course called within 1 year since my rug was defective. The salesman lied to me and now he's gone.

    I spoke to Azi and her boss Jaime (lady) and they kept saying they'll call me back which they never did. When I spoke to Jaime, she told me the best she can do is give me back my warranty money since I never used it. Then I never heard back from them. A few months passed by and Azi and other salespeople told me that the sales manager will call me back. My younger kids fell several times including my baby and got scrapes from the rug and the cheap padding that was so hard.

    I called back because I have enough of this defective rug and hard padding (obviously not the same padding the salesman demonstrated when I purchased it). I was trying to at least get my money back from Worry No More Plan since Jaime (she) said I can get back and trying to return the padding since it's not the soft cushion padding I purchased. Azi and the other salespeople said their boss will call me back. Again, nothing and refuses to give me the contact information. I don't know what else to do. I was lie to.

    I thought Macy's sale high quality rugs and was honest about their products. But I purchased a defective rug with shags falling off so much, it's going bare and my padding is as hard as a cement floor since my babies are getting scrapes from the fall or just them crawling on it. I hate this rug and the padding. I hate their horrible services which they lied about to get people to purchased. Because of them ignoring my needs and being lied to, I'm afraid to purchased anything from Macy's. They obviously don't care about the customers or they would at least get this issue resolve. Now I'm losing so much and all they care about is making money by lying.

    I opened my account just before Christmas and when trying to make my monthly payments I have been told that they will not accept credit/debit card payments over the phone or online but they did accept it for the first payment as a courtesy to me but they want my checking account information to put in their system. I do not have checks only a debit card. So I am going to travel 40 miles to the store where they do accept debit card payments and pay off my account and cancel my account and never buy from them again.

    I have placed ten phone calls to Macy's in Traverse City Michigan to refund a credit card purchase at Christmas. A $250 purchase that was partially shipped where I received $65 worth of product. I have talked with 3 different people and no one can even retrieve the transaction. Verbally they keep saying they realize the error but no correction. Avoid this store for anything you do not walk out with and you are sure a return is not necessary. Poorly run. Staff turnover. Go elsewhere.

    For 4 months I have been trying to access my credit card information under my account information. I login into Macy's and spend money in a heart beat. But when I want to see what I owe Macy's or when a payment is due I am blocked. I call Macy's customer service line... explain my problem. At this time I am told Macy's is aware of the problem and is working in it. This is a standard answer for a large company who wants to keep customers happy. It is not working... just fix the problems with your IT department. Macy's pushes everyone to go electronic then they inhibit you from seeing any information on what you may owe. I will pay off this account and leave this as a lesson learned.

    Macy's protection plan thru http://worrynomore.com/ is the worst product I have ever purchased. We started our claim process in October 2016. After multiple calls with Macy's Worry No More we still have not gotten any resolution. They have sent out a technician in November to view the furniture and take pictures. This company is again asking for us to take pictures and send it to them. Every time we call the story changes and the status of our claim is somehow lost.

    Macy's have very shady way to handle credit cards with their online shop -- unlike any other online shop (including Amazon), they accept your card, place a reserve to your card, but do not charge your card. After some period, they try to charge your card again, but many banks simply deny the double payment due security. So, receiving a message from Macy's -- "Your purchase could not be processed, and request to call to Customer Service" -- where you redo you order and your card is verified on phone. And the same happens after 24 hrs again -- canceled. Reason is simple -- Macy's cannot take foreign cards or accept PayPal payment from foreign accounts, as their system do not allow foreign addresses. Welcome to 20th century Macy's! My money goes to competitors, where my money is welcome & Customer Service at least can say, "Sorry"!

    I was in the store this morning 2/18/17. No salesperson was at the costume jewelry counter. I had a question regarding a pair of earrings costing $22.00. I wanted to ask if I could try on one of the earrings. As I was holding the card that held the rather big earrings a woman approached the counter next to me. I moved. She moved. I walked to the left. She came around the right. It was obvious to me she was security and we were the only two people in the small area of Yorktown Heights NY store. She wore all black. The jacket had a logo name in white and she had a cell phone ear attachment in black that was huge.

    She made me feel so uncomfortable that I approached her and asked her "Do you know if trying on earrings is allowed?" She said, "No go over to the cosmetic counter and ask them." What is Macy's coming to when a customer is subjected to obvious stalking? I know Macy's is not doing well for sure if they hire a security company like this... PS. I left the store buying nothing!

After a week, I emailed the customer service and they told me that I never ordered the pajama pants and asked me what pajamas I think I ordered. I had to send a screenshot TO them showing I paid for the pajama pants. Then they told me I had the wrong address and I asked them why the other items in the same order arrived though. Then they told me that they never had those pants stocked on their website and I had to prove that too. Ugh. Then they offered a refund and I said sure. They refunded me two different times and, two months later, sent me an email saying the pajama pants I ordered just made it back to their facility and a return will be processed.

    Today I went into Macy's to pickup an order I placed online. The process was confusing as the email asked that I come to the Misses Department. One sales representative said Misses was a large section and I was confused as to how or where the item ordered was to be picked up. Then the same sales rep. told me to go over to online pickup. I was asked for my id and presented it to the rep. in online pickup. I then closed my ladies wallet after a few minutes. Then the rep asked to me to show it again and I told him "I just showed you my id." I could not understand why he wanted it twice. Then he said there was something he needed to enter. I believe as others have stated that Macy's is very racist in regards to African American customers.

    One thing I do not understand is why white customers spend so much money at Macy's. I do not see the hype or reason to buy overpriced merchandise. I myself only shop at Macy's when something is needed and only on sale days. Why would I pay $200 for something Macy's is going to offer you later for half that on sales days? I just do not get it.

    I just spent 30 or more minutes on the phone. On my online account they have one item that does not go into my cart. All other Macy's items go into my cart. I only have one other item in there. All I wanted was someone to put this item into my cart or find out if it was out of stock even though it says it's in stock. When I press add it just keeps cycling. The first person at the sales dept kept ignoring me and saying okay what is your credit card number. I said I didn't want to purchase it on the phone, just put this item in my cart. Then she would ignore me again and say "So if you just give me your card number..." I told her I had used Firefox and Chrome & everything else worked fine except this one item. She then said to check my internet connection. I said my internet is fine it is this one item. She said, "You probably have too many items in your cart." I told her I had 1 item. So finally (but her tone was super rude) she sent me to tech support. Hahaha.

    The woman there (seriously sounded like the same one, it seriously might have been) didn't ask for my account, or the item number and said she was not able to help me with this and would send me back to Macys.com. I said I didn't understand, was that person a tech support? She said "It is Macys.com. They can help you." So I get sent back (though it sounds like same person again) and now being asked for the item number. She then said she put it in my cart. So I refreshed everything and it was still not in my cart. She told me AGAIN to delete all history and close everything again. It was not in my cart. Then she said, "Give me your credit card." I said, "Wait are you tech support?" She said, "No just customer service." I think she just LIED about putting it in my cart. It's still not in there.

    She supposedly put me back 2nd time to tech support. Sounds like same woman. And funnily says her name is the same as mine. And said she could put the item in her own cart. After putting me on hold. You could hear her snacking also. Probably laughing as well. Probably the same exact person. I finally gave up. I will NEVER purchase anything from them again.

    DO NOT OPEN AN ACCOUNT IF POSSIBLE. This is one of the most mousy credit cards I've ever had to deal with. I made a purchase May 2016 for about $30. I made an error and paid a balance slightly short of $30, and for the past 6 months they've proceeded to charge me with a "minimum $2 interest charge". Their email notifications never indicate that you have an outstanding balance. I caught this around September/October 2016, yet they proceeded to charge me for another three months because of the way they calculate their rolling interest. I caught this today and canceled the card, but I have no faith that they won't continue to charge me $2. You'd think that after you pay a balance in full they'd stop charging you, but clearly this is not the case. Then when you want to log back into your account to pull up the 6 months of interest, their website is conveniently down for maintenance.

Macy's proceeded to collect the money from my checking account through the auto bill pay I set up.

    After one year I returned back to the U.S. I discovered a derogatory reporting by Macy's on my credit report. I contacted Macy's concerning this matter, I was told by a representative the bill pay I set up was good for one year.

Too expensive for me but when I saw the price I ordered it online. The website really wasn't very good and my order never went through so I had to use the phone and call in the order. This was on December 18th 2016 and I talked to Julieth who placed the order for a king-size Berkshire blanket the color Prosecco. The total came to $19.63 which I use my debit card to pay. When I took off the blanket today to wash it the blanket was completely shedding all over my comforter and my sheets.

    I posted a picture of this mess of a blanket on my Facebook and on Macy's Facebook and it was probably an automatic, very quick reply asking if there's anything else they can do to help. I have not heard back since I want my money back even though it's not very expensive. I don't know how they can possibly sell a piece of trash like this. Never in my life have I ever seen such shedding on a blanket! This is a first and I'll never be shopping at Macy's ever again. They didn't even offer a refund.

    My 64 year old mother went to Macy's in August 2016. The woman at her local Macy's counter in Queens told her the face cream she wanted was not currently in stock, but she'd take my mom's info and let her know when it arrived, then charge her. A few days later my mom noticed they had already charged the full amount even though she hadn't received the product. She went down to the store and told the salesgirl to cancel and refund the order. The salesgirl "promised" she did. Lo and behold, instead of refunding the charges, they somehow refunded, then charged again, then tacked on more charges. The total bill ended up being close to $200 by September... for a product my mom never received and had requested a refund for within the approved refund time.

    Macy's called her to collect the bill for 3 months. My mom told me every time she spoke to them they'd assure her the account was fixed, the charges were lifted, then 2 weeks later the calls would start again. Initially I didn't believe her because what major company is that inept? Then I called myself on January 10th 2017. It took about 20 minutes to get a customer service agent on the phone who couldn't help me at all. Then another 20 minutes to get another agent on the phone. Then (yup) another 20 to 30 minutes to get another agent who just kept insisting the charges were correct, and when I became frustrated at their bald-faced lying, she hung up on me.

    Then I went online and used Macy's customer chat and chatted with an agent for 3 hours. He seemed super helpful, and after much, much confusion and speaking to many departments, he ultimately concluded my mom did not owe anything and all of the charges were in error (surprise!!). He again assured me that this time the issue was fixed, it would take effect within 1 to 2 billing cycles, and he gave me a Case ID so I could have peace of mind.

    Yesterday on January 25th 2017, an agent from Macy's billing called to collect the $200+ bill I do not owe. I checked my account online and sure enough, instead of removing the false charge they just tacked a late fee and an interest charge on it. It took a while for me to get the woman to understand that I didn't just want her to remove the late fee & interest -- the entire balance was false!! She "fixed it" and again assured me that this is really the last time. We will see if that's the case. After the call I sent 2 messages to Macy's customer service hoping for a written response from them. They emailed me claiming they responded via "secure message" on their credit card site, but sure enough when I went to check the message the website didn't work.

    This is the most mind-boggling, underhanded, ridiculous experience I have ever had and I don't understand why it's legal. Please know the Macy's credit card is a complete scam and they seem to unfortunately be targeting elderly people. Truly despicable and I am still waiting to see if the 8th times' the charm and my mother's issue will really be resolved. Most likely it won't and we will have to pursue legal action.

    I recently was shopping at Macy's in the mattress department. Upon encountering a salesman, I told him I was just price shopping. I had a mattress that I bought at Macy's 1/2/2011 that is sagging in the middle. I was frustrated with the idea of buying another. The salesman told me about the store's 10 year warranty on mattresses and encouraged me to have mine checked out. I have to say, I was impressed! On 12/16/2016 an inspector came out and said he could clearly see that I had sagging in the middle. He proceeded to do his required measurements and found 1 & 3/4" - 2" of sagging, beyond normal wear and tear (which is 1 & 1/2" or less). I had no stains on the mattress, but unfortunately the law tag had been removed. He then passed me to the customer service representative with Macy's.

    She told me that my mattress indeed was within the limits of the warranty. Usually they would credit the amount you paid for it and exchange or apply that to a new mattress. In my case $1146 but because I didn't have the law tag, the warranty no longer applied. What they could offer me was 10% off of another mattress. I am so unhappy with this answer. I have contacted Macy's customer service via Facebook, also called their customer service line again now that I have found my original receipt. Same answer, "10% is the best we can do". I have been a long time, loyal Macy's customer. I bought my couch there, had my wedding registry in 2015 there, do all of my Christmas and most of my personal shopping there. To not have decent compensation for a defective product is appalling to me. The original salesman that I dealt with was wonderful.

    When I found out how they might stand behind their product and they sent someone out to my house, I was thrilled and very impressed. To find out that because a tag is missing and because of that the whole product satisfaction is null and void and to be offered a mere 10% is horrible. Both of the "customer service representatives" I have spoken with were embarrassing. They had no empathy. This is a faulty product even by Macy's standards! Even their inspector said it's obvious. Both women I spoke with didn't even apologize. I asked if I could speak with a supervisor, after a long pause the same woman came back and said, "ma'am I am almost a supervisor", but I know they will say the same thing. That is "all I can offer you is 10%off". Really poor Macy's. I would NOT buy bed from them.

He said that I must mail them back. I printed out the free shipping label, took them to UPS and mailed them. I received an email saying that the return was in process and that I would receive a credit when the item reached its destination. I checked my tracking from UPS a few days later and notice that they were indeed returned. I called Macy's and they said that I would receive the credit back to my card within 24 to 48 hours.

I called in 20 times and Macy's customer service keeps giving me the runaround. I have been a Macy's card holder for 17 years and never had anything like this happen before.

    I use to LOVE Macy's but they are clearly telling the people from other countries that answer the phones for them to tell the customer what they want to hear then hang up.

    Last week of Dec 2016 found that my Macy's Auto payment credit card is set to withdraw $200+ on Dec 30th from my bank account for unknown reason (My auto payment is set for Jan 10th). I tried to access the links on my online account, Credit Summary, Payments, Statements, etc., they did not work. I called by phone, the automated system confirmed the pending withdrawal. I talked to the customer service, the lady confirmed the pending payment but could not find where it's coming from. She indicated she looked at my statements, which I cannot access online. Her solution was to cancel it and send me another card. I told her to delete my bank information which she said she did.

    After few days, I found the new card is already entered as my card, which is weird since I did not have it yet and I should enter it myself. I tried to set up a payment on a $1.13 balance to be paid Jan 8th from the previous Dec Statement, which seems to be set OK. Everything indicated it's OK, except it did not really work. Instead, I had auto payment kick in and it was paid Jan 10th!! But I thought auto payment with bank account was deleted!!! Now worried again, I have been trying to use links on my login page (I do manage to login), but the links to Credit Summary, Payments, Statements, are not working (they go to a blank page with a rotating circle in the middle). Now I do not know whether my bank info is still there and if it's safe.

    I bought 2 pairs of Nike sneakers online. When I got them they weren't right so I went to the store to return them. When I got there the lady in charge told me, "Those shoes were already use and they can't accept them". I told her we never wear them. We just try them on, so she said they must be sent you something use. I was so surprised. I did not. Macy's sale secondhand stuff. So I called customer services and the guy on the phone told me he would exchange and I ask him, "Where can I made a complain?" He said, "Go to the website" and I ask him if they would do something and he said, "I don't think so." I don't know if they even read it. I am still so mad because if I want to buy something used I rather go to a thrift shop.

    I purchased a gold tone Bulova watch as a gift for my husband and received a Seiko box wrapped with a rubber band to hold to shut. Upon opening, it was the watch I ordered but it looked refurbished lacking the protective film on front and back. On closer inspection I see the 12 o'clock numbers just hanging like if it was not glued or welded on to the face of the watch itself. I am so disappointed and surprised that whoever was packing this actually shipped it out and thought it was acceptable. How can someone be expected to hand this over as a gift. Wow. More like a gag gift. Surprise it's not a Seiko!!! Geez.

    We bought a new Posturepedic Ivory Mist Firm mattress from Macy's department store in 2014. This bed has 2 potholes from laying in it already. I called customer service and they set up a inspection after 2016 Christmas. The inspector came out and said there was a 1 tag missing and a stain by toe of bed and ONLY sagged 1" not the 1 1/2" required. He had me call main Macy's customer service to tell me they could give me basically 10% off a new one. What a joke! I can get more off on one of the million sales they have. I bought couches, chairs and tables from them. I'm done! They should of researched my purchase history before they made a grand decision. Good luck Macy's on more store closings!

    Every time I went in to the store with the history in mind of a great deal, I always went to Macy's first. However sales associate service has considerably declined over the last year and I always felt that the store was in complete disarray everyday I went in, including the weekends. My girlfriends and I started discussing the facts and all came to the final conclusion that Macy's was either turning into a ghetto Walmart store or it was on the way out!! Clearly we were right! I have never in my life seen people with such disrespect for others and that goes for the sales staff and customers.

    Customers had a free for all in every dressing room with absolute disrespect among the customers that I'm sure translated into staff being so overrun by customers with absolutely no manners. However 2 wrongs don't make a right. I vowed before Christmas (and my girlfriends and I shared pics) that I would never step foot in another Macy's store and will never again. Out with the old and in with the new!! Happy 2017.

    Macy's had this special free shipping offer after Christmas I guess to generate revenue but Macy's failed to advertise that it was free economy shipping. I placed an order on the Macy's website so I did not have to go into a store to purchase my item. Advertised was free shipping with $49 purchase. My item was only $35.00 so I searched for something else to order to make it $49. I would not have ordered anything else and would have expected to pay for shipping but I fell for it.

    A single delivery attempt was made and UPS "sorry we missed you" tag was left on the door giving me instructions on where to pick up my package. The place of business is 1/2 mile away from my apartment and I do not drive but walk with a cane. That would make it one mile round trip walking with a cane and a package that is probably cumbersome and needs two hands.

    The place of business is located in a section of town one would not want to be in after the Sun went down and probably should have another person when going there in the daylight. If I had wanted an outing, I would have got on BART to Union Square, gone to the downtown Macy's, make my purchase and return home. A walk of 8 blocks each way. It would have been one package instead if two and I would have saved myself some money.

    Today is a holiday and I won't know if any additional delivery attempt will be made as this door tag is not the regular UPS 1st attempt tag. If I had known what Macy's defines and "free shipping", I would have never made an on-line purchase or spend the extra money to take advantage of this "free shipping" I feel as though I have been deceived and taken "advantage" of and will still have to get to this shady business to pick up my order.

    I had 7 bottles of Chanel perfume fraudulently charged to my Macy's card. The total amount was over $900. Someone also called impersonating me and increased my Macy's card limit to $2,000. The fraud department at Macy's terrible. Someone ordered 7 bottles of perfume and shipped it to an address not associated with me out of state. The online address that was listed as my billing address was not the current address associated with my card (it was my old address - not the address where the perfume was shipped). None of this flagged a fraud alert and no one contacted me. I reported this fraud in November.

    Over one month later I receive a notice to my old address (my parent's house) that Macy's has processed my returns for 3 bottles of perfume and issued gift cards. How can this continue to happen when I have updated my address and listed the charges as fraudulent 1 month before these returns were processed? Why is this notice still being sent to an old address? I requested my account be completely shut down when I called in November. Calling and talking to the fraud department is a long frustrating process.

    Updated review: Jan. 11, 2017

    I wrote a rather scathing review yesterday regarding my experience with Macy's international online service. After a harrowing 90 minutes on the phone with people who meant well but would not help, I was contacted by the head office today, specifically the executive office. This was following a zinger of an email I had sent directly to the big boss. To be honest I did not expect a response and just wrote it off as a good venting exercise. Imagine my surprise this morning when I heard a voice mail asking me to return their call.

    I spoke to a charming professional young woman who not only patiently listened to my complaint, but asked very pointed questions and did not try to hide behind excuses. Here in Canada, we call this the Maple Leaf food approach. She offered a more than kind solution and even if she had not I would have walked away feeling validated, and heard which at this point was exactly what I was asking for. I will buy again from this company just because they deserve it. (And they have great sales).

    Original Review: Dec. 30, 2016

    I recently purchased several pieces of undergarment from Macy's Canada. The last order came in today and I have now been on the phone for 45 minutes waiting for resolution. I have been told that one of the items I paid for (tax and customs as well) is no longer available in my size. Which means that they sold me an item that they did not have. Knowing that, the order came in with no mention of the missing item. What did they think? That I would not notice? Their solution is to reimburse me. The problem at my end was that this was a set and therefore I would not have bought the first item had I known that the other was not available. I am not sure how this works south of the border, but up here, selling something and getting paid for something you are not in position to sell is not only questionable, but I would dare to say illegal.

    I gave them the option of sending a different colour and she was adamant that it could not be done. After asking to speak to a supervisor I was transferred to Jona, who was going to help me but... the line went dead (for the second time). I called again, and then I found out that I am calling the Philippines. Needless to say that when I called back Jona was nowhere to be found. I then asked to be transferred to the States in the hope that common sense would kick in.

    By then I have been on the phone for over an hour trying to resolve the most obtuse kind of problem. Well, I was quickly informed by the nice lady in the US that I would have to call back tomorrow in the Philippines because, international sales are not handled in the US. My advice: if you live in Canada, drive to the US and shop all you want, but stay away from Macy's international. You have little or no recourse, and frankly, no one cares if you are not happy. This is really sad because, Macy's has a lot to offer, but serious catching up to do when it comes to online shopping.

    I 1st spoke to one rep from Macy's on wed 12/21, she processed my order for a family pajama set size M only size she said was available. I advised her I needed the pajama fast because it was for Xmas. She added the shipping 1-2 days which I had to pay $19 extra. (no problem). I used a Macy's gift card that originally was from the same pajama that was returned because of size didn't fit. No more in the store. So I use the gift card and the remaining on a credit card.

    Order was processed. Email confirmation was sent, then I saw that there was a Small available. The size I originally ask for. So I Immediately called back. Lady answered heavy accent. I told her I just placed order and would like to see if I can exchange it for the small one instead. She says fine have to cancel the entire order, then have to place another one. Mind you I paid using a gift card so even if the order was canceled I wouldn't be able to use that again. I explained this to the lady which is why I didn't want to cancel. She is a very fast talker who really didn't listen as to what I was saying to her. So we cancel the order she made another. I told her over and over again I needed it by Christmas so please make sure she had the express shipping which will get here by sat. She said ok that she was even going to waive the shipping.

    I really didn't mind paying the shipping. Only thing I was concerned about was making sure it was going to get here in time. My family of 5 everyone else had theirs waiting on the last one for Xmas pictures. She placed the order, I ask her again when is it going to be here. She said the 27th. I lost it. Now please tell me what was she doing when I expressed to her over and over to make it express shipping.

    I told her to put a manager on the phone. She still tries to convince me that we could cancel this order (this will make a 3rd time) for her to do it over with the express shipping. I told her, "No I want to speak to a manager." She then puts me on hold, after couple minutes past she comes back on saying she spoke to her manager and he told her that Macy's has a guaranteed 2-day shipping for the holidays. I told her that I needed to hear that from an manager because that's strange; all of sudden Macys has a 2 day guaranteed shipping when mind you the 1st order I placed I paid a additional $19.95 for express 1-2 day shipping. So she puts him on the phone and he assured me that my order would be at my residence by the 24th Saturday because they (Macy's) has a guaranteed 2-day shipping for the holidays. He even said I just made the deadline.

    After hearing that I felt more relieved. So Saturday Xmas Eve comes still no delivery from Macy's!!! So you can see how extremely upset I was. Not only did 2 reps lie to me our Xmas family pictures was ruined!!! It's like they just told me anything to get me off the phone! IF THAT'S HOW YOU TRAIN YOUR REPS I SUGGEST YOU TRY A DIFFERENT APPROACH. I don't know how Macy's system works but it would have be a lot easier for her to just change my order instead of putting me through some much frustration. Would be taking this BBB as well.

    The problem started a few weeks ago when I returned a pair of shoes I'd bought online that didn't fit within the return window. I had paid online with my credit card and fully expected to receive a credit back on my credit account like every other major store does. Instead, I received a gift card for the refund amount even though I never consented/requested that. I don't want that because that means I am basically still paying for the shoes/interest on my credit card even though I no longer have them until I buy something else and "transfer" it over. I was mad, but I said, "Fine, I will just put it toward something else" thinking it was perhaps my fault for not checking the "credit to my account" box or something that many stores have on their refund forms.

    So, I found a chair I wanted online. I paid for it with a combination of the aforementioned refund gift card and my credit card. I received notice the chair was shipped on 12/10/16. Days went by and no shipping updates were ever uploaded and it looked like UPS had never received it to be shipped in the first place. There is NO online contact information for customer service except a generic phone number. I called on 12/21/16, was on hold for over 10 minutes and reached a rep who spoke THE WORST ENGLISH IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD! Usually they just have thick accents but are usually proficient but this sounded like we were acting out a comedy skit. She finally understood the chair was never sent nor received. She offered a credit. I said fine, but DID NOT WANT ANOTHER GIFT CARD. I said I wanted the refund on my credit card, NOT a gift card.

    I verified several times. She said yes, it would be credited to my credit card. Having no faith (what can I do?), I waited to receive the confirmation. Received that today, saying it will ALL be credited back to a gift card, even though not all of it was purchased with a gift card AND I said I did not want a gift card countless times. So now, interest will be continuing to accrue on a pair of shoes I returned weeks ago and the spill-over balance for a chair that was never shipped while I wait for another couple of weeks to receive this GD refund gift card/store credit I never wanted in the first place! I've been making online purchases at Macy's for about the past 12 years and only have to occasionally return things and this gift card practice is new to me. I don't know who is responsible for this decision, but it has decided for me that once I use this thing up (in person, at the store this time), I will never, never, never buy from them again.

    They already can't compete with other high end department stores for online shopping, regarding shipping costs and customer service. This just pushes me over the line. AND the funny thing is, this would have never been a refund if you'd had ONE person in customer service who could have said, "I'm sorry about the chair--I'll get one sent back out immediately!" We both could have won but instead, you just showed me what a soulless big-corporate company you are. The forced gift card refund practice seriously needs to be investigated as a credit scam and I foresee another class-action lawsuit in their future if they don't rectify it.

    I really used to like Macy's. I have been a VERY loyal customer over the past 20 years. Used my Macy's credit card, and paid my bill on time every month. But something has gone terribly wrong. It started about 2 years ago and has escalated just recently. For whatever reason, they have allowed fraudulent activity on my account. There was one very large charge about 2 years ago, which I caught and notified THEM about. No problem, they took care of it. In fact, I caught it so fast, they stopped the shipment before it was delivered. I saved them a chunk of money.

    Fast forward to Oct., 2016. Another large charge came in that was not mine. I got an email about it and immediately cancelled the order and called Macy's. They told me to destroy my cards and they would send new ones. The next month when my bill arrived, there were two charges, from different zip codes (neither of them were even in the state I live in). These charges were made between the time I called about the previous fraud and the time I received my new credit card. I called their fraud line and they said they would investigate - no problem.

    Next month (now) I get a late bill with late charges and interest charges for the fraudulent charges. To top it off, I had placed a Macy's order online, WITH MY VISA CARD, not a MACY's card, and they cancelled my order. I tried again with my PayPal account and they cancelled again. Mind you, these orders were going to MY address which they send my bill to every month. Unbelievable. I called and they said they could not verify my information. But somehow they validated the thieves' information? They cannot stay in business approving fraudulent purchases while denying legitimate ones. They have some big problems and I'm afraid they will be out of business soon.

    I am very pleased to share that I contacted Mr. ** office (President and CEO of Macy's) via email and his office called me immediately to address and resolve the matter. Cathy, from Mr. ** office, listened intently to my horrible experience and reassured me that she would be looking into it and take steps to ensure this didn't happen to other customers. They also refunded the entire amount of my purchase immediately AND sent me a gift card for the amount of my purchase to spend as I choose. I was VERY impressed with the immediate response - and even more impressed by how this issue was resolved. Because of how Cathy handled this matter, I am once again a LOYAL Macy's customer - I may not order items online anymore, but I will continue to shop in their stores. Thank you, Macy's, for being right by me :-)

    I placed an order online with Macy's - to my horror, when I checked status, their system said the items had been returned?!? I never even received them at my front door - let alone returned them! Instead of re-ordering them and going through that hassle, I thought I would let the refund post and then go buy them at the store. When I didn't receive the refund to my credit card for several days, I called their customer service department to check on the status. The agent reassured me that my refund was posted and I would see it in 3-5 business days. I waited again. MY REFUND STILL DID NOT POST so I called customer service AGAIN. The agent said he looked at my account and the refund was issued and I just had to wait. A couple days later, I called again. The agent told me my refund was in process. I refused to take their BS anymore, so I asked to speak with a supervisor.

    After being on hold for over 20 minutes, I finally spoke to a supervisor. She was also adamant that the refund had been issued so I told her to 3-way me to my bank and we could verify. While we were on hold with my bank, she shuddered something about "I think I see what happened". So, we ended the call with my bank and she said that the shoes were returned in the store and I received a gift card for the refund?!? Are you kidding me?!? I have called several ties and you're just now figuring this out??? Obviously, THE ITEMS WERE STOLEN AND SOME THIEF WALKED IN THE STORE, RETURNED MY SHOES AND GOT A GIFT CARD. She said she is going to see what they can do and call me back in an hour.

    Well, if they don't issue the refund ASAP, I am disputing the charge with my bank - we can do this the easy way, Macy's or the hard way. Either way, I will get my money back! And with all the theft that's taking place (especially during the holidays), you would think that they would require a signature for deliveries? I WILL NEVER SHOP ONLINE WITH MACY'S AGAIN. BEWARE - THEY ARE CLOSING STORE AFTER STORE. I think that's a sign that they are going out of business. So, why should they care about being right by their customers???

The whole process has been a nightmare. I had to order from two different stores to get the watches. Dealt with some really great employees, and some that were very frustrating. I will never order from Macy's again.

    Please be advised when shopping online at Macy's. I ordered a few Items for Christmas and charged it to my credit card. I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW because Macy's fails to tell you that you will not only have a hold on your card for the full amount, you will also have an additional hold for each transaction that is shipped separately!!

    ALSO, if there are any changes that need to be made in your order (such as wrong city listed in shipping *customer service's fault) or they charged you the wrong amount on shipping costs etc. MACY's will RECHARGE YOUR CARD THE FULL AMOUNT AGAIN INSTEAD OF SIMPLY REFUNDING YOU THE DIFFERENCE. Making several holds on your credit card and affecting your spending limit.

    PLEASE BE CAREFUL OR BETTER YET, DON'T shop with them at all. This is not the way to treat customers. Especially during this time of year. SHAME ON YOU Macy's. For being a billion dollar company you should find better ways of resolving customer service issues and refunds without recharging them several times changes are made on their order.

    Also, hire helpful PROFESSIONAL customer service reps. When I calmly called your customer service department for the first time to raise the issue I had with my credit card holds, your rep pretended to have a bad connection and proceeded to consistently press the "hang up button" as if the call was going in and out. As funny as it sounds, it's incredibly juvenile and obvious she didn't want to help. Land lines don't have bad connections. It's the oldest trick in the book, for a 2nd grader! Not a service representative of a billion dollar reputable company. You have lost a customer for good. Online and in stores. My experience with your online services and customer service is of my worst yet.

    My mother purchased a Michael Kors coat for me for my commute to the city for school. She purchased it through PayPal. Macy's charged her three times for the coat. She called and after three calls was able to speak to a manager. They were attempting to tell her she wouldn't receive her refund for a week. The next day, she saw they canceled all three orders when she only requested they cancel two. She had to purchase another one, at this point no longer at the great sale price. I received the coat and it was too big. I sent it back, in order to avoid another nightmare with the card, with the understanding I would receive a gift card refund. I waited so long to hear anything that I called and was told it had reached headquarters but would take three days to 'process' before I received my refund.

    A week later, still nothing. So I called and they told me it was refunded. My mom checked her PayPal and it was refunded to her account, which I did not request. If I were going to do it that way I would have done it from the beginning and not have to wait an entire month to not be freezing during my commute to the city. I have never experienced such incompetence with any company in my life and will absolutely never purchase anything from Macy's online ever again.

    I am extremely disappointed with my experience doing returns here today. I had 5 returns to do. 3 clothes and 2 home goods. As soon as I entered I was told I could go to any counter to complete my returns. The 1st 2 service centers were empty. I waited for about 3 mins each before moving to the next counter at men's where I waited for another 5 mins before I got serviced. They refused to do my returns since I had women's clothes and home goods. They asked me to go to the Women's section to process both my returns.

    After waiting another 10 mins at the women's to do my returns I was told I could only return the clothes there and would have to walk all the way across the store to do the home returns (after I was told I could do my returns anywhere). So after completing my women's returns I walked all across the store to complete my home returns. In total I have spent 45 mins at the store to do 5 returns and been to 5 different counters. This is just unacceptable and extremely frustrating. I am highly unlikely to shop at Macy's in the future given the extremely incompetent service I have received here today.

    The only instance in which I see myself ever ordering from Macy's again, and putting myself in a position where I will ever have to interact with their customer service, is if I suddenly become a ** who takes pleasure in being humiliated. I called Macy's about a very simple request: to change the account my refund would be sent to because I had to unexpectedly close my account due to fraud. I was assured by the representative on the phone that it would not be a problem, that they would be processing the refund on the alternate card I gave, and that I would receive an e-mail confirming the changes. A week goes by, I receive no response, and I call them again. This is where the harrowing ordeal that is Macy's "customer service" begins.

    The first representative I spoke to could barely form cogent sentences beyond "I do apologize" and "there is nothing I can do." I had to repeat my situation several times, using increasingly juvenile vocabulary, to get her to understand my simple question. After finally getting the message across, I am put on hold for 10 minutes only for her to tell me that they had changed my method of payment to an Amex card. I inform her that I do not own an Amex card. I am put on hold for 10 minutes again. She returns and tells me that instead of Macy's processing my return, I should go to my bank to dispute the charge instead. What ensues are non-answers that every Macy's customer has become accustomed to hearing: "No, we don't have any record of your previous calls to us. No, a supervisor is not on site. Actually, my supervisor does not exist. Or she's busy. Or something. Let me transfer you. Let me transfer you. Let me transfer you."

    Despair sets in when I realize that Macy's reps exist only for two purposes: apologize to everything you say, because giving you answers or explanations is simply out of the question; and transfer your call to a department that cannot help you, because they have been trained to do nothing else. After realizing that this rep will do everything in her power to redirect me, I tell her that I am willing to open a dispute with my bank, but that I would like an e-mail from Macy's confirming that they instructed me specifically to dispute the charge to get my money back, so that my bank does not have to launch a lengthy investigation. She apologizes. Again. Macy's reps do not know how to send e-mails, because they are all system-generated. Internet is hard.

    During my second call to Macy's, I pray to every worldly deity to give me a representative who is capable of speaking more than two scripted sentences. After a 10 minute wait, I get a representative. I try to explain my situation again. A minute into it, the call is cut off. My third and final call to Macy's leads me to a rep who cold transfers my call to a "Resolutions Specialist" the second he hears the word "refund."

    By this point, I have become so fed up that I am now recording every conversation I have with them -- predictably, the Resolutions Specialist has no record of any previous calls that I have made. I am forced to explain my situation a third time. I give up. I ask her to verbally confirm that Macy's has instructed me to dispute the charge with my bank because they will not be processing my refund as they had originally said. She confirms it. I hang up, and begin drowning all memory of Macy's and their astounding incompetence in sweet, hard alcohol.

    Some tips if you ever find yourself in the cursed position of having to interact with Macy's customer service. Do not initiate any conversation with Macy's without recording the call. They will not keep notes about your conversation, and they will not send you records of it afterwards. They will feed you lies and deny it later, leading to my second point... There is no accountability at Macy's. You will never, NEVER get hold of a supervisor, or anyone who is trained to deal with the questions you have. Supervisors do not exist, or they are busy, or out of the office, or in a meeting, or vacationing in ** Island. You will be volleyed back and forth between obscurely-named departments that cannot help you until you admit defeat. Just don't buy from Macy's if you value your sanity and your money.

    Very disappointed with the way my Michael Kors bag was shipped. It did not come with the dust bag. Was literally just shoved inside a cardboard box and shipped. Did not have the protective wrapping on the hardware (zips handle, MK logo). The hardware was scratched. There were MANY scratches on the MK logo and the zip handles. Even before it was shipped, it was painful trying to deal with their international shipping customer care. All I wanted from them was the tracking number which was not emailed to me then and it was so hard to make them understand what I wanted.

    I thought of returning it, but I will end up losing SO much money if I did so because I would have to pay duties for it (I live in Canada) and I have already paid duties for receiving it. I'm just going to keep it as a lesson to never buy anything from Macy's online. I've uploaded pictures of how the bag arrived.

They were very busy, but I explained what happened and that I was returning the boots. The woman had me put my credit card into the credit card machine and she said the amount of the boots was credited already. She thanked me as she took the boots and gave them to another employee.

    Problem was that she gave me no receipt for returning the boots. Dumb on my part for not asking for one, but the employee confirmed my card was credited so all was good. After reviewing my credit card statement, I find that Macy's never credited my credit card. Emailed Macy's account department and explained the situation. Received a response from a Macy's employee stating that I never did return the boots and that my account would not be credited until the boots are returned.

    In the middle of November, a fraudulent charge was placed on my credit card. The fraud department caught it, called me promptly, and told me that they would close that account and send me a new card. Fast forward to 2 days ago when I wanted to make an online purchase and realized that I hadn't received my new card. I called to find out the status and found the customer service agent could not, for the life of her, understand my question. I had her transfer me to someone else, who looked and found my account had NOT been closed after all. He then closed my account and said I would receive a new card within 8-10 days.

    The next day I placed an online order and used my husband's card. When I saw the confirmation, I noticed that the shipping address was to the very address of the fraudulent person. They had put their address as my default shipping address. I immediately called customer service and asked them to change the shipping address to my own.

    The next day I checked on my order and noticed that the agent had only partially changed the shipping address of one part of my order. My order had been divided into 5 shipments. He had only changed the first shipment. I called back and was told that I needed my husband's permission for them to talk to me. After running down my husband, he called and gave his permission. I called back and was told that it was too late to change the shipping address, even though the order said it hadn't been shipped yet. I asked to speak with a manager and was put on hold for a long, long time. The perky Christmas music did nothing to brighten my mood. The agent finally got back on the phone and said he would call me back. Did this happen? Of course not.

    Three hours later, I called back. I was told, once again, that they needed my husband's permission to talk to me. Fortunately, this time, I got a native English speaker who took my concerns seriously and let me talk to a manager - another English speaker!! - who came up with a solution. I need to wait for the shipping confirmation, then get my husband's permission for them to talk to me, then change the addresses at that time. We shall see if it works.

I called Macy's and was told they couldn't do anything about it, wouldn't even let me speak with a manager who was just "too busy".

I order many items online and I have never had a Shopping Basket add my items incorrectly. In addition, as I checked out, I applied some coupons so the total should have even been less but there is no way to recreate this once you have placed your order.

    I called Macy's Customer Service & I had to explain my issue to the rep several times so finally he added up my items ordered and also came up with a total for $140.91. He indicated that the website was not working well since it was Cyber Monday. He did then make the correction. I asked for a number so that I could call someone at a higher level but this was beyond his level of understanding. I want someone at Corporate to know how they are taking advantage of people! Many people are very busy and wouldn't take the time to double check the total and many may be stretched for money as well.

    If you choose to order from Macy's online for the holiday season and you are like most of us and not extremely affluent, please know that Macy's will abuse your credit card and won't show a bit of remorse. Heck, they don't even understand how what they are doing is wrong. Here's the scam that happened to me: I ordered 12 items for Christmas from Macy's online. The total of the order was around 315 dollars. This charge appeared on my credit card immediately. Two days later I received a notice from my 'wallet' on my phone that my card had been hit again by Macy's for an additional 34 dollars.

    So, assuming online fraud I called my credit card company who agreed after I explained the 315 dollar order was legit, but the 34 dollar on was not. My card company (Cap One) was VERY helpful and suggested we call Macy's together to see if they could explain the charge before we declared fraud and re issued a new number for the account.

    To make a long story as short as possible I will spare you the play by play and just give you the totals. Over one hour on that call, then two more calls... Twice we were transferred to a department who couldn't help us and got transferred back. Once we were left on hold with the representative never coming back (this ended the first call). The 'correct' department features people who can barely speak English and have such thick accents that you can barely understand them, and apparently there are no managers anywhere on site. Also, their phone system is a cut rate system that distorts the calls so badly and adds so much noise to the conversation that it further degrades the ability to communicate accurately.

    In the end, it appears that Macy's standard operating procedure is this... They put in a charge to your credit card for the full amount of the purchase. In my case, this put a 'hold' of 315 dollars on my card. Then, as they ship the order out piecemeal they charge you again as the items ship. BUT they don't charge it against the 'hold'. These show up as NEW additional charges. Then, at the end of the process they will eventually release the 'hold' for the original amount (it is worth noting that none of the representatives could explain this to me, but there was no end to the bogus reasons they gave for the charge. The cap one rep and I worked out what was going on during the long hold periods.)

    Of course, this results in several unacceptable things: A. You have to have at least twice as much credit available on the card as the amount you want to purchase. B. If you don't and you have strict instructions with your credit card company not to approve over limit transactions, your purchases will start bouncing. C. You will be charged fees by your credit card company for exceeding your limits if the transactions are approved. D. In some cases, promotional rates that you have on previous purchases can dissolve because you are 'trying to charge more than your limit'. (this is not a problem with Cap One, but it can happen with other card issuers depending on the TOS.)

    At the very least, you lose purchasing power during a very expensive and stressful season of the year. Bottom line is that Macy's sees no problem with this and this exceedingly odd and abusive method of doing business seems to be standard operating procedure for them. Additionally, their unapologetic horrible phone service is something to be avoided at all costs.

    My personal suggestion is AVOID ordering anything from Macy's online and if you are an investor type, short the hell out of their stock. It is obvious this company has not learned anything from the past couple of years of losing their customer base and the associated trimming back of profits. They just don't get it. Their lack of service is astounding and they deserve the bankruptcy that is clearly in their future. Making money off them going into the dumpster will ease my annoyance at their buffoonery.

    I shopped Macy's online on BLACK FRIDAY. When I got to paying for my items, I was given a notice that Macy's was having overload difficulties and to try later. I then cleared all my cookies and waited a few hours before returning to their website. At this point, I started all over again with my order, adding some and taking other things out. I then clicked the PAY NOW button and everything went through. I felt relieved until I got notice from PayPal that both orders had gone through. Not only did they go through, but Macy's put a hold on my account twice for the amount of $119.

    I quickly went to Macy's front page to find their customer number and instead found their customer service email address. It clearly stated to tell them if there were any problems ordering, which I did. I asked them to DELETE the order that I was told didn't go through, and clearly stated the ORDER NUMBER. To make a long story shorter, no one contacted me. Within minutes of this email, I was notified that this order was already shipped. They had plenty of time to review the problem and correct it. Instead, they charged my Credit Card, shipped the order, and held my funds.

    After this I got my dander up and wrote to their online support. The only thing that I received in return were COMPUTER GENERATED notices that my items were already shipped or my email was received and a CUSTOMER SERVICE REP would get back in touch with me. My DOUBLE CHARGE is still on PayPal and I was finally told that I would have to refuse the wrong package and when they received it back, I would be credited for it. I called UPS and had a STOP put on the delivery and the package is on its way back to Macy's.

    The COMPUTER GLITCH WAS MACY'S FAULT so Macy's should have taken care of this problem themselves without putting all the stress on me, their client. I will NEVER PURCHASE from Macy's again. I always thought they had high standards and quality merchandise. Unfortunately, I found out this not to be true the hard way.

    Let's start with my most recent issue, double credit card authorization holds because they decided to ship my order in two shipments. I don't know about you but like many Americans I like to use my credit cards on Black Friday, but was not expecting Macy's to lock up more than the amount I purchased. I am strongly considering starting a class action lawsuit as I can't be the only one this has happened to... And now let's move on to their phone centers and the poor service of being disconnected multiple times, and being told you're the reason the problem occurred and that they are unable to make any changes to an order after 30mins.

    I was not told to verify the shipping address of my order yet I was forced to update my password and security question as my email address was link to an account that I apparently set up 10 years ago. So yeah my packages are going to my dead stepmother's house... Thanks for an absolutely wonderful shopping experience Macy's... It will BE MY LAST.

    I have been regular Macy's customer for 12 years and Macy's has changed so much. Never get a guarantee that you will get the order despite the confirmation for pick up. When you arrived there the store could reject you and said order not available so would be sent later. I don't understand why sending the barcode and emailed that the order was available to pick up when it wasn't. The worst part was I found that item on shelf in that store location. I told the sale associate and the manager of the store still said my order was not available?!? The expense of me driving to pick up for nothing was a waste!

    Another experience was that Macy's charged you immediately prior to pick up so upon picking up I experienced a negligence in terms of selling to new walk-in customers and let me waited for nearly an hour despite the fact that I came first. This was not the end. That same sale associate went placing back the left over items the other customer left while I was waiting. If I wasn't charged I would walk out so that ended my pick up in store purchases.

    I purchased something and was confirmed of its availability. Then a few days later Macy sent out an email saying item was not available. But a week after I saw the same item was available for order online again but at a higher price? Another experience was that the last page of my order said I would get Macy money rewards but then when I was charged I realized no Macy's money rewards. I called and the sale representative said nothing could be done. The items received online was many time used and old. The online description was unclear. The word imported goods without mentioning the origin of the country made me so disappointed upon receiving. Poor quality goods. If it mentioned clearly which country I would have a clear picture before ordering. The easy return policy that Macy's advertised was not true.

    I lately despite the receipts, the item was found matched my Macy's credit card, I was asked for an ID. What? You expected me to go through this returning process. I wanted to feel the pleasure of spending money and enjoying the products but whenever I shopped at Macy's I felt the pressure and stress! The sale said that in case a person returned more than once. Look if you matched my order and that item was returned how on earth I would be able to return another product using the same receipt. Are they paranoid or what? I even think Walmart is better. At least they don't keep customer original receipts or ask for an ID if you return an item with a receipt!!!

    The sale associate would be nice until you started to return something. The return was such a big hassle even with a receipt, tagged on and unused. They lately keep the original copy of receipt. When I requested it back, the sale associate said it's Macy's policy to keep track whether the item was used or not. The reason I returned was the item received online was either used, old, poor quality or wrong size. Now they 're accusing customer for the used product that they sold me. I recently bought a pair of Nike for the full price over 130$. The shoes that I received was in a completely worn out box although the package that was delivered was not damaged. I perceived that as either old or used or refurbished item and that was unacceptable. I could have gotten the same quality if I bought at outlet store for much cheaper price!!

    Once Macy's keeping original receipts what happen to the remaining items if I wanted those exchange or return I would be left with no receipts!! Without receipts they would treat you as criminal and would not accept the return or if they did they would not give you back the original form of payment. The best the gift card of the lowest price. If you return in store the funny thing was that they would ask you to return home items to home, clothing to clothing though they all in one receipt! Now I would leave Macy's alone. I have my choice and there is no point to spend my money for these kinds of service and goods quality. The fact that I am their elite member for all these years I still received such treatments, I am completely over with Macy's. Never again at Macy's.

    I love Macy's products; however, they have some the worst customer service of any company that I have dealt with online. And I shop with a lot of companies online. Every time that I have ever tried to make a payment online with Macy's, I have had problems with it. Most of the time the Macy's site does not work. Every time that I have ever called Macy's customer service, the consultant cannot speak plain English. They can't understand what I'm saying. I get so frustrated. I end up getting transferred a lot and I usually ask to speak to a manager.

    On my last encounter with Macy's, I made my payment on the 18th of the month. It was due on the 20th. I used a different checking account number. I got an email on the 24th saying that the payment did not go through. I don't know whether the numbers got transposed or what. If They couldn't tell me why the payment didn't go through.

    So I called customer service, and I spoke to two people that could speak very little English. I had to repeat myself over and over and over. I recited my bank account number numerous times. They was wanting additional information which I was afraid to give them. They said that the payment went through now and they were trying to charge me a late fee. And I'm like "well you didn't let me know until the 24th that the payment didn't go through. You should have let me know earlier. Because it was paid on the 18th and wasn't due until the 20th." And they didn't let me know until the 24th and now they are trying to charge me a late fee. I am totally upset with Macy's customer service and I'm sincerely thinking about not doing any more business with them. It is too much of a hassle every time I have to call customer service for something.

    I made an in-store purchase with my credit card. Later, I received the bill & immediately paid it thru my online banking. Got another bill in approx. 2 weeks that said it was past due. I called Customer Service & talked to that same woman who speaks terrible English & she ultimately required me to send proof of payment -- to fax it to them. I told her I didn't have a fax machine so I would be mailing proof to them. She informed me since I was mailing it, it would take them much longer to process & research my payment. (Don't know why.))

    I had to call many more times to get a response & repeat my problem over & over. They sent a notice that they would notify me in writing the findings of their review, but they never sent me anything. They finally corrected my acct & sent me a statement for a '0' balance, but there was no notification what they did or what they found. Two weeks later I find out that my excellent credit score had been dinged 80 pts because of their mistake! I had to submit a credit dispute to Experian with my story & they quickly responded 2 days later with a corrected credit score based on Macy's mistake. All took nearly 2 mos of wasted time. Macy's has horrible billing employees & terrible customer service.

    Black Friday seemed like a great shopping deal until you realize that Macy's website cannot handle the volume. After trying to place my order, I received an OOPS message from them stating that they could not complete my request. I had to place the order again and then about 45 minutes later, I received two emails that BOTH my orders went through.

    I contacted Macy's by phone after waiting for 30 minutes on hold and was told that because it was longer than 15 minutes after my order, they couldn't cancel either order! He told me that I could send back the order after receiving it but it would cost me shipping to return the order. I said that because Macy's website is such a mess and the error came through on their end, they should pay for the shipping back but he refused. Now I was really angry and I contacted PayPal who told me that the charge was still pending on both orders and that it simply isn't true that they couldn't cancel the order. I would just like to say THANKS A LOT to Macy's for being jerks to a good customer. What a shame on your end.

    Recently I purchased several fragrances from Macy's online. The reason I didn't go to Amazon or eBay, was because I wanted authentic perfumes, not fake or watered down ones. For my great horror, that's exactly what I received. After spending nearly $400, I received Mademoiselle, and two varieties of Tresor (the original and Midnight Rose), that were either fake/expired or watered down. They don't (literally!) last even a few minutes!! The only fragrance that seemed authentic was Yves St. Loraine's Paris. Extremely disappointed!!! I'll NEVER buy anything from Macy's again!!! I have much better chances buying authentic ones on Amazon or eBay, without paying an arm and a leg.

    I am so unbelievably furious and disgusted I needed to write a review which I never do. DO NOT DEAL WITH A MACY'S CREDIT CARD. I will never order from Macy's again. I placed an order for 2 coats totaling $600 in store at Macy's and they were to be delivered to me while I was out of the country. I have a roommate home to collect the package, and our packages are always delivered inside the building. Well it turns out despite the cost, the package was delivered to my front door. I live in Chicago- the package was stolen that same day.

    Mind you, I never received a confirmation email or email with any tracking information from Macy's. As soon as I returned home I called to report the stolen package. First I was told I'd have to contact USPS, who told me no, in fact I'd have to contact the seller. I called Macy's back, spoke with a representative who told me no problem, she'd refund the two coats and place a new order for me. I placed a new order on a separate credit card. The new order was delivered, and one of the coats was wrong. I went in stores and had to return and repurchase this coat. Then, my Macy's bill was due and I learned that the stolen coats had never been refunded by the phone rep. I had now bought them twice.

    I called support back to explain this issue and they told me they had no record of my phone call. I said this was impossible, because I had the order # from the replacement order I made, and they told me "they weren't seeing any results from this order number." After an hour and a half on the phone speaking with a manager (p.s. all representatives were incredibly rude with very poor English) she finally agreed to refund 1 of the 2 coats, but told me the other I'd have to dispute in stores. She insisted I'd been given an "exchange card" for credit in stores, on the same day the package was stolen, while I was in Ireland. I said this did not happen and was impossible and she kept shouting at me, "YOU NEED TO CHECK WITH YOUR HUSBAND." I am not married, and am the only person on this account.

    I went in person to the store and spoke with an excellent manager at Water Tower Place who confirmed that the coats had been stolen, and returned the same day by the thief for an exchange credit. She said this has been happening REPEATEDLY with shipped Macy's orders. She manually credited me for the remaining coat that the phone rep refused to refund.

    Well, to no surprise, I have not been refunded for the coat the phone rep stated she would refund. I am still waiting on $250 in a refund. I called "support" for now the third time, and was told yet again, my previous phone call did not occur despite my having the employee's ID# and name this time. They are still refusing me a refund. I am currently still trying to figure this issue out in stores with the store managers of Water Tower Place because phone support is BEYOND WORTHLESS AND AWFUL. DO NOT WORK WITH THIS COMPANY.

    I purchased some items at the Macy's store at Memorial in Houston and was offered some promotional discount if I opened a Macy's account, which I accepted. First big mistake! I made further purchases at the same location the following week and received another discount offer for setting up a different credit card account (Amex), with the promise of consolidating all my balances. Again, I stupidly agreed.

    I promptly received the Amex card welcome package and statement at my current address and paid the full balance, which, disappointingly, included only my second transaction. Week after week passed, and there I was hoping a second statement would include my first transaction. It didn't. Then, I started receiving annoying calls from the credit department reminding me to pay up my balance. Despite attempts at requesting for an account statement, this continued for weeks. It turns out that I had two separate accounts and Macy's managed to send my cards to my old and current address. To compound issues, the last rep I spoke with stubbornly refused to send me a statement despite providing passwords, social security info, and other account details. I'll be destroying the useless cards once I finally resolve this issue, and Macy's can forget about me as a customer.

    We traveled from out of town with saving coupon cards, to find once shopping they were offering the same deal anyway with 20% off, and would not take the $20. 00 card. Okay, understand but then was given Macy Money Reward card to use on internet or in store purchase $20 during a certain times. I was using on internet, and put gift code in. It took and gave me the reward but when I completed the order, it charged my charge card full amount and took off the rewards card. When contacting them by email, they said I could not use with my order, nothing on my card gives me any exclusions. Just know not to trust them anymore. Also printed on my receipt they honored the ELECTRONIC GIFT CARD ** but it was not honored in the charge.

    Charged twice for an item that the website stated could not be charged with the suggestion I use the listed number to call Macy's if the problem continued. Which I did, only to get a person which l had difficulty understanding their English and had to repeat my problem several times. She did not address the problem stating all she could do was take another card and place the order. On the next day, my card showed that both charges had been withdrawn from my PayPal Debit Card causing an overdraft.

    I called back and believe I got the same person who did not answer my why and only answered my how to get my money refunded when I insisted several times that I did not need her to repeat what she had said several times telling me what I already knew; I needed my questions answered. She did not answer how this happened so I asked her to give me info for whom I might get the answer. I insisted on receiving the order info for both orders for which I had been charged and because the jacket was too large to get an ending date for the sale. She continued with her rhetoric until I put my mouth close to the phone and repeated my request, then she answered.

    I ordered a Michael Kors backpack purse from Macy's. After receiving the order confirmation email I immediately noticed that it was not charged to my credit card but to an unknown person's Mastercard. I immediately called customer service and they confirmed that my credit card was not the one that charged. I still don't know who the card belongs to or how it was charged. I have only owned one credit card my entire life and have never ordered anything online with another one. The customer service person was difficult to understand but assured me that the order had been canceled and I should not worry about it even though I stressed that I was worried about it because it was fraudulent. She then asked if I would like to place the order again using my card. I should have trusted my instinct that told me something was not right but since she was a Macy's representative I continued and gave my card information.

    As she placed the order she told me that the card was declined. This was not possible because I had just deposited money into my bank account that morning and had called after to check my balance so at this point I knew there was something seriously wrong. I told her this and she canceled the order and assured me nothing was charged to my card. I called my bank to check my balance anyway and sure enough they did charge me. After about 4 or 5 calls with Macy's and my bank the money should be back in my account later but I will definitely keep track of it and will cancel this card because there were too many "glitches" as the customer service people called them for me to take any more chances. Macy's customer service agents did not speak English well and constantly repeated the same phrases throughout every call and they never apologized for anything.
