I had to recently contact Macy's customer service because of a broken Michael Kors phone cover I received. It was a nightmare. The customer service reps spoke very broken English and, even though they agreed to send me a replacement immediately, they sent it to the wrong address. Apparently, a lot of companies are routing their calls overseas to deal with US customer service issues. When I called back to tell them they sent it to the wrong address, they ended up charging me because they had already sent one replacement. The replacement they sent to the wrong address, which of course to this day I have never received.
Fortunately, I paid through PayPal and did receive a refund once I got them involved. I used to love Macy's, but their customer service sucks. I actually found myself looking for a pair of shoes the other night but refused to look at Macy's because of my experience. More and more US companies are closing and I doubt Macy's is far behind if this is the type of service they offer.

Having been trying to get onto the Macy's website for 3 days. It states my user id or password is not correct when I know it is correct. I have clicked on the reset password link to get an email sent to me over 10 times and I have yet to get an email from Macy's. I contacted Macy's and they state they are making big enhancements to their system for February and it will not be working for a couple of days. I told them that doesn't get my bill paid. They told me to call tomorrow morning but I work early as I have an offshore team in India and I can't call during the time their Credit Dept. is open. I always pay on the website. So don't get a Macy's credit card.

WHEN I see cute clothes online I check to see if it's in the store. It's not. I live near Daytona Beach Fl and Sanford FL. Why don't you carry the nice selection of tops and jeans in these stores? You always have to order the items pay shipping and handling, WHICH YOU DON'T GET THE SHIPPING FEES BACK IF YOU HAVE TO RETURN THE ITEM. SHAME ON MACY'S. Now I see why people tell me to not shop at Macy's!!!

I ordered a pair of boots and got one free on Cyber Mon. Good deal I thought, until one pair didn't fit. I went 60 miles to the closest Macy's store. Had receipt in hand, they couldn't bring PayPal up (that how I paid). Said I would have to mail back to store, which I did. That was first of Dec. I have called 3 times, they have boots but I have not received a refund to my PayPal acct. Better think twice before you order online from Macy. They owe me $128.00.

The ad says, Deal of the day, $49.99 diamond ring. Reg $200, 1/4 Ct t.w. Ring in white, yellow or rose gold or sterling silver. WebID 2886795. The rings are plated, not gold like the ad says. Is this false advertising, bait and switch or exceedingly poor business practices. I was very disappointed and I'll never shop at Macy's again.

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.

Yesterday I received my Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Palette in the mail. All four pots were broken in pieces. I sent an email to Macy's about what had happened, I received an email back very shortly stating they would send a new one and I needed to return the damaged item or I would be charged again $40. I called the next day and asked to not get a new one because I live 80 miles away from the nearest Macy's and would not be able to return the damaged item as there are 2 feet of snow where I live and the freeways road conditions are currently treacherous. The woman I spoke to was very understanding and sent me my new palette through premium shipping. It was one of the easiest customer service experiences I have ever had. Thank you so much, Michelle from Macy's customer service! I was so impressed, God bless!

This is my first time ordering from Macy's. I was so excited to open my package to find out my $40 Anastasia Beverly Hills Sweets Glow palette was broken in pieces. I will not be purchasing high priced online items from them again. I'm praying my Bobbi Brown foundation comes to my doorstep fully intact.

I purchased an item online as a Christmas gift for a friend. The item didn't fit but the friend had thrown away the sales ticket to be able to return it on their own. I was able to sign in using my order number and process the return however exchange was that regular retail value instead of the sales value that I purchased the item at. In the upper right hand corner was a toll-free number available 24 hours a day so I called it. The representative that I spoke with processed the return and refunded my money immediately processed the exchange for the smaller product at the original sales price and even overnighted the item to me at no charge. The entire transaction over the phone took less than 5 minutes. I've never been more impressed with the retail customer service operation as I am with Macy's.

I ordered a pair of Oakley sunglasses for christmas. I received them and my boyfriend said that they didn't fit his face. I took them back to Macy's beverly center and we were going to trade them in for another pair. The salesman told me that Sunglass hut is a Vendor in Macy's and would not take the return. 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.
The following day I received an email saying that they had issued me a gift card. This is fraud! I do not want the gift card, I want my credit for the item that I purchased. 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. I'm not going away until they solve this issue. I am so disgusted with Macy's. In an email from Macy's, it clearly states that they would be issuing me a credit to my card upon receiving the return item. This is unacceptable. In the mean time, I am obviously paying interest on a returned item. I believe that this is being done to several customers on purpose because they need money as 68 of their stores are closing. The phone customer service is awful and this is why.

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.

I had fraudulent charges on my Macy's American Express card, the customer service is horrendous! They reroute their calls to the Philippines and they keep you on hold for the longest time, not only that you have to hear the horrendous music while they have you on hold. I mean to get this fraud straighten out I was on hold and rerouted for 40 minutes. I just wish they would get someone that knows what they are doing! Ok as if the fraudulent charges were not enough I was sent a new card, I decided to order to check if all was ok. Well, let's just say part of my order was shipped to a IN address and I live in California. Don't know what the heck is going on but Macy's better wise up. They will be losing customers...

Be aware all the shoppers who go to Macy's furniture. We bought a sofa, love seat and a chair. The leather is peeling off and the color of the leather is coming off and when we called to see if they can help us they just ignored us and said it's been a year and there is no warranty. I would never recommend anyone there. Stay away from them.

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. I would not recommend anyone open a Macy's account.

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).

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.

There are 5 charges with the exact amount of money ($131.44) on my Macy's card right now. Called them several times but they sent me a letter asking me to report the fraud to the 3 national credit reporting agencies; otherwise it would affect my credit score!!! They asked if I had reported the incident to the police! Never had such a ridiculous experience with any credit companies! I have Amex, Visa, Walmart, Target, and... but none of them treated me like this!

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.

I ordered an e-gift card for $100.00 on 12/24/16 and never received it in my email. It wasn't in junk folder either. This was a gift for my son's girlfriend. It was completely humiliating to not have a gift for her on Christmas because I never got it. Called customer service on 12/26/16. I waited on hold 15-20 minutes to talk with a person.

I called back in, waited forever again, and 2nd person said she would email the gift card again. Put me on hold. I waited over 30 minutes and she never came back. Called back in. Waited 40 minutes before getting a rep on the phone. I was explaining about never receiving the gift card and he hung up on me.
I was frustrated but still trying to be nice. I wasn't cussing or yelling or anything, but still very unprofessional on his part. This is how you treat your customers??? Called back in and got 4th person who said she would email it again, but it would take 24 hours to receive it. On what planet does it take 24 hrs to receive an email? I never got the first one, why would I assume I would get this one? I asked to talked to her supervisor and currently have been on hold 45 minutes waiting for supervisor. I am 3-4 hours into this and no one has helped me. I don't know what I am supposed to do. Just let them keep my money???

I contacted customer service after receiving a scheduled payment notice for the statement balance. Included in the balance was a 12 month-no interest promotion that I was paying separately with weekly installments. Customer service supposedly stopped the pending withdrawal and also turned off automatic withdrawals per my request. Two days later my account was debited for the entire amount. I called customer service again to request a reversal and was told it would take 8 business days and they were sorry for the error. I requested to speak to a supervisor who agreed to call me with the progress in a week.
I am currently out $2500 through the Christmas holiday due to an error by an associate. But they are SORRY, so I forgive their stupidity. I will be contacting the BBB and the States Attorney General office to file a formal complaint. My bank will be notified of the fraudulent activity to my account. I will see to it that everyone knows about my dissatisfaction with Macy's and their incompetent team. Now I will return the mattress and buy from a reputable store and cancel the CC after 20+ years. Purely disgusted but they are sorry.

We bought a $50. sweater 2 days ago. We were given a 'gift' of a Macy's Money Reward Card with a value of $5. ($1. for every $10. spent). We were told it was a special promotion gift. Nice! Right? NO! My daughter didn't like the sweater, so we returned it the following today and asked that the purchase be put back on our credit card. They only returned $45. back to the credit card!! Saying they had given us a card worth $5. on a future purchase. We were shocked. I took the card from my wallet and told they we didn't want it, if that was what kept them from giving us a full refund. They refused! Macy's earned $5. from our purchase. Unless you are CERTAIN that you will not return your purchase, you need to refuse the Macy's Money reward card offered to you, or you will lose money. Also, the reward cards have a 1 month validation limit! BEWARE.

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.

Errors in website led to order cancellation by Fraud Protection Dept - though CCard was charged. After hour on phone w/ Fraud Protection (based in Philippines) order was reinstated incorrectly resulting in 3 days delay, TWO additional identical charges to CCard and error in reinstating order - and ANOTHER order cancellation. Last chance: three days before Christmas and another hour with Fraud protection lead to order reinstated correctly BUT despite my pleading did not expedite order, resulting in delivery date post-Christmas and additional charge to CCard. Finally one additional hour with Customer Service to cancel my order. I will NEVER use Macy's online again.

I called customer service three times because I was not sure why I was being billed over 65 dollars. I was unable to get into their website and they were unable to reset my password by email. I called twice to try to understand why I was having these extra charges on my account. Two women that spoke with heavy English accents could not tell me what the content was. I figured I paid for a learning lesson for 65 dollars. I paid them. Called back again for a third time, and was unable to even identify the woman's name after I asked for it twice. I thankfully canceled my card and will never buy from Macy's again. I will tell my friends this experience too. Buyer beware!

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???

I ordered 4 Apple watches on November 23rd. Two of the watches shipped within a few weeks, the other two were back-ordered until January 3rd. They DID NOT notify me to tell me they would not be here for Christmas. After waiting a week after receiving the first two watches, I called them and that is when they told me they were back-ordered. These watches were Christmas gifts. They SHOULD have notified me. Today, I spent 8 hours locating and ordering, from Macy's, the two watches they said were on back-order. 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.

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.

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.

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 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".

However, due to the poor quality of the gold and the diamond, several highly reputable jewellers have refused to alter it, for fear that the ring could collapse and the diamond (heavily flawed) could split! Ironically we avoided the diamond district in NY for fear of being conned. I have tried to contact someone to arrange for Macy's to alter it but I am still waiting for Customer Service to contact me. Just BEWARE of this as it is very upsetting having a very expensive engagement ring that I can't wear.

Ordered designer purses as Christmas gifts from Macy's since they seemed to offer good prices. Huge disappointment! I had an impression that I got merchandise from a second-hand store: price on price tags marked out with black marker or torn, bags just thrown into one box without even plastic bags, scuffs on the bags, quality of bags is like from an outlet, one purse is missing though listed on the receipt! Will return them all and will NEVER order from Macy's! While trying to get as much profit as possible for Black Friday and after that, they completely disregarded the quality!

I ordered 4 pairs of jeans and something else from Macy's. Jeans didn't fit so I shipped all 4 pairs in one package back for a refund. They received the package but gave me refund only for 3 pairs of jeans. I called multiple times regarding that, but they refused to give me money back for the 4th pair of jeans. I have no jeans and no money now. Worst company and customer service. They lost me as a customer. Stay away.

For Cyber Monday, I ordered several things from Macy's and after I had placed my order, I did a double check since the total seemed very high. I ordered 6 items of clothing and the total with tax was $175.90 before tax but when I added the items, the total should have been $140.91! I was shocked. 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. This is simply irresponsible and someone at a high level in the company needs to be accountable. My loyalty to Macy's is now gone and I don't want to shop with them anymore and I certainly will never place an online order again.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

There was fraudulent activity on the same day (obviously not me) so reported it. Then they say they're sending me new card... NEVER GET NEW CARD. Then call them to find out status of card I never got. They then let you know there are charges and you owe them over $200.00. Then when you let them know you haven't had a card and that your wallet was stolen (ID's credit/debit cards and all) they will then keep on and let you know there's nothing they're gonna do to help you. So, when you finally get to someone who will help you they finally file the fraud claim.
When representative answers you ask them "so what do I do about the amount that's showing due and the payment that is due?" And the rep answers "not to worry ma'am. Do not make a payment as it is fraudulent activity and if you make a payment you are saying the charges are yours." Then well over a month later (when YOUR credit is going negative because of direction from their reps) they let you know "it's deemed not fraudulent". Then you will be contacted by executive people and they will say they are 'going to help you and get this resolved' only to be contacted back a little over a week later and be told again "oh there's nothing we're gonna do it was deemed not fraudulent. You're responsible." Then when you bring up what THEIR REPS said executive person will tell you "sorry there's just nothing we can do to repair it since it was not fraudulent."
When I respond with "so I was informed to NOT pay because then I am saying the charges are mine but now you are telling me that they're mine." His response "yes ma'am that is correct. You would have assumed responsibility for the charges so you shouldn't have made a payment." Again they WILL NOT help you. They will say they are then just leave you hanging out to dry.

This customer service rep works at the woman's clothing department, 2nd floor. She treated me like I was committing a crime by returning 2 items without receipt. She started reading the rules and conditions out loud so everyone around could participate during the return, and it was very embarrassing. I told her that I was a habitual customer and I understand the store's policies. The unused items were purchased online less than a month ago with my Macy's card, and had the original tags on. She told me that the amount could not be credited back to my Macy's card; instead, a gift card was going to be issued and mailed to my home address (what??).
She then took my driver license and started tying the info by using a magnifier (she had hard time reading the screen and the tags). I told her that it was insane but she insisted that, "those are the rules" and need to be followed. Lastly, after more than 20 minutes I gave up and canceled the entire thing. I went to another cashier nearby Vince Camuto clothing area, who end up returning the amount back to the original payment method, which was my Macy's card.

(YES OF COURSE IT WILL BE CLOSED AFTER WAITING ON HOLD FOR AN HOUR). Most of the time the employees are from overseas who have no idea what they are doing, whatever you ask for they don't know the answer and they will tell you to call back. I just don't understand if they are not going to be able to help a customer then why are they there? I am really unsatisfied with a Macy's Credit Customer Service and I wish they can take an action and fix it, because this is the 3rd time that I am getting this kind of customer service.

I purchased a mattress on sale on May 5, 2015. Macy's allegedly offered lifetime warranty for this mattress. The right side of the mattress appeared to be sagging and had a deep contour, that really affected our quality of sleep and caused pain in me and my husband's back. I had to go to chiropractor and physical therapy because the pain started to bother. My husband weighs 140 pounds and I weigh 100 pounds, respectively. Thus there is no reason to believe the sagging in mattress is caused by overweight. This started happening within less than 6 months, the mattress started sinking in certain places. I called Macy's and they sent an inspector. They replaced it the first time because it was bad. They gave me a new mattress (I still think these are all refurbished cheap mattresses that Macy's puts on sale or provides false advertising).
Again, this one, less than 4 months old, started sinking, and me and my husband developed severe back pains (I still go to treatment). They sent the 2nd inspector, who "determined" that the bed didn't have manufacturer required support (it was never mentioned by the first inspector). They suggested we put the supports and see what happens, then if it didn't help to resolve the issue, call them again for another inspection. They refused to replace it. We added a couple of missing supports and everything was by the book. Due to our back pains (which we never had before), I contacted Macy's again on Sept. 15, 2016 to request yet another inspection or replacement.
The 3rd inspector took all kinds of measurements and verbally told me that, yes the mattress was sinking within a short period of time, and he left handing the phone to me to talk to Macy's furniture representative, who kindly told me that all measurements inspector took "were within the limits and they could not replace the mattress". I clearly saw that the measurements were off when the inspector was taking them. I wish I had recorded it as proof. He told me that "mattresses do sink in the course of time". I told him I knew they did, but not within less than 4 months of usage. I became very angry and told him I would consider filing a lawsuit against Macy's furniture for Unfair Business Practices, Fraudulent Business Practices, Unlawful Business Practices, False Advertising, and violations of California's Consumer Legal Rights. He told me if that's the case he would hang up on me, and he sure did.
This is a clear misleading and fraudulent business practice to lure consumers into buying a mattress on sale under false pretenses that you get it with lifetime warranty but when it's time to stand up behind the warranty, Macy's does everything not to make it happen. It would cost them less to replace the mattress than pay inspectors for false inspection reports. Inspector told me one thing, and the representative denied it completely. I even asked them to refund me my money and I would get a decent mattress somewhere else, but they simply did not want to hear and or do anything to help.

I had very negative experience with the customer service at the woodfield Macy's. I purchased 14 items for my daughter and got home missing items in the bag. After waiting for 20 minutes to be helped it's a complete mess. They are very unorganized. I called the customer service line the next day to make sure I report this issue (thinking this is a normal company who cares about their customers). I spoke to a floor manager will and I arranged to come to the store and see him to resolve this issue. Unfortunately I couldn't make it on that day but I also called the manager and did let him know I will go in to see him the next day (I respect other times).
The manager told me he will in the store until 9:00 pm on 10/04 so I went see him around 6:00 pm and he was gone for the day after I rush to get there. He was not there, however they had to call another manager Scott who didn't even took the time to come and see me at all. He end up sending another floor manager Cheryl (she was really nice and tried to take care of this issue) but she still need help on how to Handle this issue and she had to go back to scott for help. After wasting my time again at the store today 1 hour there scott comes up with this unprofessional decision to tell me we have to review tape to make sure no items walk out of the door Without paying for it (excuse me). I spend $600 dollars this month at Macy's (I promise all items will be returned soon).
When I called the floor manager will and report this issue I also requested him to pull up videotape to ensure. My question now why was this not done ahead of time and do I have to waste all this time? The only answer I can find to this question is poor customer service. I never had to file a complaint or leave an bad review, but this is by far the worst experience ever!! I am a loyal Macy's customer. Walmart employees are more kind than upscale Macy's!! Think about it before you insult a client!!! They should be ashamed.

*Warning to all Macy's shoppers*: I have been a loyal shopper at Macy's for over a decade, and will never shop at Macy's again due to their disgusting treatment of employees and their raw GREED among other failures. I do not want to contribute to their embezzlement of employees (and defrauding of their investors by over-projecting sales before the actual figures came out) making Macy's richer.
My mom recently started a job there for the experience to keep herself occupied, and it is the most miserable place to work at - like a *factory sweat shop*. The managers are incredibly hypocritical - their true faces come out within a week of working there. I have never seen her my angel of a mother so disheartened and overworked, yet management still ridicules her and disrespects her. BTW the Pink Pony charity - DO NOT buy any of those raffle tickets or bracelets. Macy's offers a deal of 25% off if you buy the $5 bracelet with about a thousand exclusions, and they know it is a terrible deal so they advertise it under "charity."
In addition, they are doing it for the TAX WRITE-OFF and GOOD PRESS. There is no oversight as to how much the customers pay for the bracelets vs. how much actually goes to charity. So, so unfortunate. I am sickened with the entire establishment of Macy's and will be telling everyone I know and encounter to never shop at Macy's again. No wonder there is such a high turn-over rate. DO NOT WORK AT MACY'S UNLESS YOU WANT TO RUIN YOUR LIFE and your spine. Most abusive company you can work for. The look on my mom's face when she came home from work everyday broke my heart.

I have only had several occasions in which I had to call Customer Service - one when an order was duplicated and I asked how was the best way to return it and another was when a pair of shoes was ordered online and the shoes had two different sizes. The clerk at the Macy's store deleted the shipping charges and I called customer services asking why did I have to pay shipping for a defective order. They promptly returned the shipping charges. Sometimes I'll go back to my bag a few days later and my choices are still there. I usually do not have any issues shopping online at Macy's. If you do not order the minimum for free shipping the charges are steep at $9.95 unless there is free shipping even for a few hours. The choices are many online and much more than shopping at the free standing stores. I love their return policy - no questions asked.

Used my Macy's American Express card in late June. Received first bill in July and paid the full amount July 27. In August, I received a bill that had a "late fee" only. Ok, maybe I missed the payment deadline? So I went back online and paid the late fee in full. In September, I receive a paper notice that I have "$0.00" balance. Good. October 4th, I get a bill for the full amount again plus additional late charges. And the automated phone calls have started. I received 2 last night and 3 this morning.

My wife shopped at Macy's religiously, and always used her Macy's card. I talked her away from using the card, and paid off the remaining balance, leaving the account at $0. The next month she gets an email that her bill is ready. This email contains no information regarding the bill, due date, minimum payment, balance, etc. that one would expect, and gets from companies such as American Express.
Since the bill was paid in full the prior month, my wife disregards the email. The next month she gets another of the same, and this time tells me to look at the account. I try but the website is down. So a few days later I check again. The account that was paid in full now has a $6 dollar balance. Apparently, if there is any balance the next month it applies a minimum amount of $2 for interest. This had piled up for three months.
Fine. I call customer service to ask about this. I pay off the balance in full again. Friday my wife received another email, so I log in to check the account again. Website is down again! I wait a few more days, and $4 balance! This company is a shame and their in-store credit card policy is a shame. I will never shop at Macy's again.

I spent over 20 minutes this morning on "hold" listening to (horrible) music, waiting for the Macy's representative to come on the line. The music was periodically interrupted by a recording telling me how to pay my bill online instead of waiting, and they warned that it would be a long wait. Let me back up a little. Last month, they sent me a statement with an incorrect late fee of $35 added to the bill. I called, finally got through, and got the late fee removed. I paid the legitimate part of the bill online and thought I was through with it. So, this month I got another bill with the "late fee" doubled, plus interest! Plus a series of robo-calls, with a collection agency recording telling me to press 1 if I wanted to pay my bill over the phone. Mind you, I had not bought anything; the bill was entirely for nonexistent late fees, plus interest.
I called them again, and after the 20 minute wait, finally got through to a representative who apologized profusely, told me that the previous late fee had only "partially" been removed (huh?), and said she had removed the entire fee, and I won't be bothered again. Well, we'll see. I cut up my Macy's charge card and will never buy anything that way again. I don't care if they offer a discount; I'd rather just use a regular credit card. Why on earth should anyone be put through this kind of ordeal for no reason? In fact, I doubt that I'll ever again shop at Macy's, period. I have to wonder how many elderly or confused people are "robbed" this way. Getting a call from a collection agency is not only annoying, it's alarming. Really makes me angry.

I LOVED shopping at Macy's online and in store however recently when you make an online purchase, they follow it up with a "Macy's Consumer Protection" call where you have to provide a code they left on your voicemail on the number they have provided. My sister and I live abroad and my sister was visiting my mom in the States. I placed the order to be delivered to our house in the States and they called a number I no longer have (and didn't provide on my order - I used my mom's phone number since she's home where the package will be delivered). When I didn't answer the phone I don't have, Macy's sent me an email to notify me. The email said "Please retrieve the message we left for you at the phone number ending in ** by 6 pm on 09/18/2016 to ensure your order is not cancelled and ships to you as quickly as possible. When calling back, please have your reservation number available."
I obviously could not retrieve the message but called with my order number and within 60 seconds the rep on the phone went from flat to rude with a strong attitude in her tone. I explained I ordered before and have had this issue before. She gave me more attitude and kept repeating "either call from that number or give us the code we left on that phone's voicemail". That was it. I let it go.
THEN my sister (who in the US) makes the same order and puts my mom's phone number. They call my sister's old number and the same process starts again. Does Macy's think no one changes their phone number? Do they think a sale isn't worth having someone on the phone that says more than two sentences repeatedly? The same thing happened to me 6 months ago and I missed sending a birthday gift to a friend. I don't know why I tried to place an order again. I'm overseas and online shopping and delivery to the US is basic, and something I should be able to rely on. NOT from you Macy's. Never again.

If a Macy's employee asks for your phone number so they can add you to their clientele, DO NOT GIVE IT TO THEM.

It is a disgrace that a company like Macy's gives their untrustworthy employees access to customer information with a simple phone number. Most employees do not explain what they are doing and store your information without your knowledge.

Macy's has been a complete nightmare to deal with. We received a gift card for our wedding present from my grandfather. We were excited to look at the Macy's couches for our new apartment. We found a couch we liked and went to the furniture counter to ask what the total balance would be after we applied our gift card. We decided we would love to order the couch so we gave the man our credit card for the difference and he then informed us that the couch was back ordered for 8+ weeks. We needed a couch right away so we told him to CANCEL the order immediately. We left the store and purchased a couch elsewhere, believing that we had CANCELED that order. In the following weeks we received letters from Macy's regarding our order so we had to call Macy's for over an hour on 2 separate occasions informing them that was a MISTAKE and we did not ORDER the sofa.
They finally told us they would cancel it and issue us a full REFUND. We traveled to Macy's months later to use our gift card and were told that we had no money left. We were confused and had to call Macy's to confirm the balance was indeed $0. We then called customer service and spent HOURS on the phone with them trying to understand why we had $0 balance and they told us that they issued a refund to the credit card that purchased the gift card. They would not tell us the date they issued the refund or which credit card it was issued to. They also wouldn't email me any proof saying that is what happened. I then spoke to grandfather about the refund asking him to go through his credit card statements for months searching for this refund. He was unable to find it, not to mention how ridiculous my request was. The guy was trying to give me a kind wedding gift and now he is stuck on an endless search for this mysterious Macy's refund.
In the end he did not find it so I just spent another hour on the phone with Macy's trying to get the history of the gift card transactions or details about the date they issued my refund. They informed me they COULD NOT HELP ME. They could not give me any information about my gift card number and they needed me to tell them the credit card that was used to purchase my gift card.

I have or had three different Macys Charge accounts and have recently discovered that I have not received a Bill for one of them for over a year. I have auto pay set up. Therefore the minimum payment was always delivered on time. I just discovered that one card was not appearing along with my other e-bills, nor online, and not in the mail. You can imagine my surprise when I thought all account were up to date. They were not apologetic whatsoever. Any recommendations?

I had been to the Macy's store in NewPark Mall in Newark CA on 31st July 2016. The store was closing in ten minutes and I rushed to the counter downstairs after shopping so that I could pay and go home. In the hurry, I forgot my brown bag which had two tins of body butter bought from The Body Shop on the counter in the men's section. I realized this when I reached home. I called Macy's customer service on Monday morning at 10:00 am and talked to someone in the counter in the men's section of the Macy's NewPark Mall, informing them about my brown bag. The person who attended my call assured me that the brown bag will be safe in the lost and found section.
On Tuesday, the 2nd August 2016, I visited the Macy's store again and met with the employee who had done my billing in the men's section. She told me that she saw the brown bag that I had forgotten, and sent it upstairs to the third floor where the lost and found department was before she signed off from duty. I inquired in the lost and found section and LOL the two tins of body butter and the brown bag was missing from the lost and found section. The employee in the lost and found section mentioned that they usually clear all the items within a week if nobody claims it. But it had been only 36 hrs since I had forgotten my brown bag. Then where did it disappear? The Macy's employee at the men's section clearly remembers that she had sent it to the lost and found department on Sunday 31st July a little later after the store closed.
It is very embarrassing if employees in the lost and found department do not take care of things which the customers forget and starts stealing. This is a very shameful act. When I informed this to the manager she offered me two $25 coupons. I do not shop much at Macy's but took the coupon. This incident and experience was the most terrible one I ever had after shopping from Macy's. I returned all the things that I had shopped from Macy's and felt that this store has no policies for employee theft.

My complaint is on Macy's card services for their department store credit card. Over the past ten years I have cancelled and reopened at least a half dozen Macy's accounts because they pull the same fraud every time. They send out invoices every other month. If you charge something in the month not invoiced, there is no invoice issued for that month and then they automatically carry it over to the next month, where you get an invoice that includes a $27.00 late fee and an additional interest charge. It is a scam. I have watched them pull this off for over ten years. For years I've paid them rather than take the time to call and complain but I'm sick of it. They need to be fined and ordered to stop this fraudulent process.
I charged items in June, they sent no invoice in July and sent one for August with $31.17 in fees on a $192.55 charge, more than 16%. Think of the free money they make on people who don't bother to confront them over their invoices! Every time I call they take the charges off and then do the same thing again. Invariably, Christmas would come around again and while in the store, in exchange for significant savings, I would open another account and the cycle would start all over again. It's hard to avoid since Macy's is one of the last fine department stores left in the country, especially at Christmas. This pervasive, fraudulent practice needs to stop now! I did file a complaint about this to the CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) and am waiting resolution from that group. I encourage others who have been the victim of this fraud to demand satisfaction from the CFPB and from Macy's card services.

Ordered a sweater jacket for an infant online for a baby shower that was this Sunday. The sweater came in today, with a good size noticeable hole by one of the buttons. I have never had a problem with Macy's, before, until now. Never got sent bad items. Called their customer service and the only way they would send it back was if I could print out a label (told them I didn't have a printer or knew of anyone with a printer) or I would have to take it back to a store which the closest one to me is 2 and a half hours). I told him about my situation and he did not care. Those were my only two options, no exceptions. It wasn't my fault. I could've sent them a picture or something for proof and then sent it back if they MAILED me a return label. There goes 40 bucks out the window for one item. Thanks, Macy's.

Ordered a mattress and box spring from this incompetent retailer, with the false belief that they would be concerned for their customers and their reputation. They promised delivery between 10 AM and 12 AM but called the day of the delivery requesting we provide a cross street so that they could find the house. The driver of the subcontracted delivery "White Glove" service said "we don't deliver there". Why did they take the order, confirm the delivery date and time, and ask for a waypoint if they don't deliver there? It's because the driver didn't want to drive 45 minutes to her house and said we had to reschedule. Spent over four hours on the phone with customer service, the delivery service, supervisors, managers, and the salesperson that sold it and not one person was able to help nor address my concerns.
My only hope for Macy's is that this retail icon continues their downward spiral and eventually fails. To have total disregard and disrespect for customers warrants shopping elsewhere. And that is exactly what I did after I cancelled the order. My only hope is that they take turns sticking that mattress and box spring amongst the entire customer service team!

I ordered a tankini last Tuesday for a pool party I was going to on Saturday. I paid $20 extra for Express shipping, so I would receive it by Friday. As of Thursday, only the bottoms had shipped out. I started to panic. I emailed customer service on Thursday morning, asking when the rest of the suit would ship out. Nothing. No response. By Thursday afternoon, I'm really starting to worry. There's no tracking number and my item still says processing for shipping. So I called customer service and explained to the lady that if I didn't receive the other half by Friday, I want my shipping charges refunded back to me. She explained that it would be shipped out overnight and I would have it by Friday.
Friday comes, and lo and behold, it still hasn't shipped. I've received the bottom half at this point, but no top. Not to mention, customer service still hasn't replied to my email. I went on Twitter and tweeted Macy's that I was having an issue and they said they would look into it and someone would get back to me. Nope. Never happened. They finally shipped the top on Friday afternoon, which didn't arrive until today (Monday). The party was last Saturday.
I called Customer Service again on Friday and told the guy I spoke to that I want my shipping fee credited back to me. He looked up my order and told me that he didn't see a shipping fee. Say what?! At this point, I'm turning red and fuming. I pull up the order email and read it to him in a very stern voice, "SHIPPING UPGRADE: $20!!!" Miraculously, he found the shipping charges after that, but told me it was "floating." Uhhh??? I explained that if the money wasn't put back in my account by Wednesday, heads were gonna roll. I am appalled and disgusted with Macy's and their "customer service." Btw... the rest of the order came today. It's a shame, cause the suit is so cute and it would have been nice to wear to the party. Instead, I had to run to Nordstrom on Saturday and spent $130 on a different bathing suit. Thumbs waaaaay down for Macy's!

I agreed to wait 2 months on a back order for a love seat. It was finally delivered in 3 months without paperwork. We asked several times for Warranty and Care papers. Never received anything. After 14 days, I phoned to discuss returning the item. I was told I only had 3 days on returns. No one had ever told me that and I assumed I had the standard 30 days. The employee said it was on the back of the invoice. I told her we had never gotten anything but the backorder slip. She refused to let me speak to the manager. We have repeatedly asked them to resolve this situation. They refused. We went to the Veteran's Legal Aid Clinic and were told the State of Texas is not a consumer friendly State. Legally Macy's can get away with this type of customer treatment. All we have is a Sales Check # ** from the Backorder Slip.

I ordered gifts for my bridesmaids back in April for my wedding in late July. They were on backorder immediately after I purchased them and I was given a ship date of mid-June. I figured they actually would ship in June, but that was not the case. The ship date changed 3 or 4 times before I finally cancelled. They were still selling the product online too and it said "in stock" yet no one could give me an answer as to when they would have the product again or what the issue was. I called and emailed numerous times. Emailing apparently gets you nowhere. I had been corresponding with someone, yet there was no record of this when I called next and they claimed I had not verified I still wanted the order. (??)
This time when I called they said they would ship that week and offered expedited shipping. The very next day I get an email that the order is delayed AGAIN indefinitely. This time I had my fiance call because I was at work and they refused to speak to him. When I got home, I called and cancelled the order since the wedding is next week and the likelihood of them shipping on time would be close to none from my experience with them. How can you have something on your website if you do not have it in stock and clearly are unable to obtain it from the vendor? In addition, your call center must be based in India because it was very difficult understanding anyone and calls would drop, which is really frustrating when you've been on hold for a while.

I have had my Macy's account since the mid 90's - always on time. In 2014, I had a decrease of income and sacrificed my credit scores by closing most of my accounts so to enroll in a hardship payment plans. This lowers the minimum payments and/or interest. I tried to contact Macy's several of times and according to the people with heavy foreign accents - they had no such program. I called different times, but still the reps said no. So I continued to make payments sometimes late but I dealt with the late fees. I usually called and paid over the phone, never by the internet because Macy's literally withdrew more money than they were supposed to (another mess).
Another time, a customer rep with a foreign accent gave me false information about how many days I was late and when I sent a letter to BBB, corporate responded with "I am sorry for the inconvenience" dialogue. They also stated that if I am having economic problems, I should take advantage of their hardship program. WHAT?!
I called again for the hardship program and one of the reps with the foreign accent said the program never existed. I had responded by reading from the letter I received from corporate. She said hold on and in a short amount of time an English-speaking rep (with no accent) came on the line to help me with the hardship program. Since then, no problems... they draft the money right off my account and my balance has been decreasing. All or most of these calls are monitored, why is Quality Assurance not taking note?

Ordered a tankini top from here, their site said a size S is a UK size 6-8. I am a UK size 6-8. When it did arrive I tried on the item to find it is more like a size 10-12. I then contacted Macy's who replied within a day. It was something about them sending a replacement. I then replied saying I wanted the correct size and that I will not be paying the return postage for this item or the new item. They then disappeared and I heard nothing back after countless emails. Luckily I had paid through PayPal so I then opened a dispute a while after chasing them. This was Borderfree who advised they refund authorization would have to come from Macy's as they were not authorised to do this. They then said they would chase this with Macy's customer service and to give them a few days.
I then got a call from Macy's who advised they had a size xs but it was not in stock (maybe they didn't want to pay for the postage of it??). The top was worth 23 approx. I paid about 50 which included postage/shipping etc. This lady then advised they will authorise a refund but I need to close the PayPal dispute in order for them to do this and to return the item. I told her I would not be paying the return postage costs and she confirmed I would get refunded for this. She said she would email me the details. When I got the email she put that I will be paying the return costs which obviously would never happen. I emailed them a few times again after this... again they disappeared and never bothered replying. I couldn't ring them as they are based in New York and I'm in UK.
I didn't see why I should have to cough out more for this. After a few email they finally decided to get back to... the dispute couldn't be reopened and if I waited to send the item back it would have been too late to take it further so I told them to give me 20% refund of the product which they agreed to. I then contacted Borderfree through PayPal dispute to confirm this dispute needed closing in order to get a measly amount back. They confirmed this so I emailed them to advise I am closing the dispute and to refund me asap... which they did a few days later. Was seriously not worth the headache and will NEVER buy from this pathetic excuse of a company again. Their customer services are ** and clearly couldn't care less.

I called them and the gentleman was nice and removed some fees. He then told me the lowest he could offer me was $112.61.
How is this fair that they don't make any effort to call me or leave me a message to let me know there are charges on my account? They are ripping people off. I have already paid the fees because I felt like there was no other option because they say it will be reported on my credit score. If there is more that could be reviewed that would be great. Most of all, I feel this is an unfair and illegitimate business practice by a large corporation that should be documented.

While Christmas shopping in December 2015 I opened a Macy's credit account to purchase a couple of tops. I shop regularly at Macy's and other stores, generally using my debit card, so didn't notice that I never received a card or a bill in the mail. Over the next few months I received calls from numbers I did not recognize (Mason OH) but when I answered, there was a lot of static and then the call dropped. Eventually I connected with an agent for Macy's informing me I had missed payments on my Macy's credit card. I told her I didn't have a Macy's credit card because I had never received anything but eventually we figured out the error.
I was told the account history showed the mail had been returned over the previous months because it had been sent to the street address instead of the billing address. I said I was willing to pay for the items purchased but not any other charges as it was Macy's error in sending to the wrong address. She said she would send it in for review which would take a week. I asked for a complete history of the account since I will have to correct this on my credit report and was told I would be mailed it and a new card since I never got the first one and the history.
To this date (7/1/16) I have received nothing but one regular statement for the disputed amount and it shows no history at all, not even the payment I made June 8. However, I still receive calls from Macy's credit and when I tell them about the problem they assure me everything is in the mail and it will be resolved. These agents never take the time to review the notes which is very exasperating because they make me repeat it over and over and over.
Today I called and spoke with Mario who again did not review the notes on the account and instead wasted my time despite my best efforts to get him to transfer me to a supervisor. Finally he connected me with Katherine.

Frustrated, I asked to speak with someone in the USA and she said okay, but I was disconnected. I am at a total loss as to who to contact to resolve this issue.

I was assured by a representative that my account would be credited for an online purchase that I returned. Instead I was sent a gift card for the returned items. I called twice to get this corrected and each time I was assured that my account was credited and was told that it would take 1 to 2 billing cycles before it would be posted. However, three months have passed and I'm still being billed for the amount plus now a late fee has been attached. Is there any other avenue that I can take to get this resolved?

I have had numerous problems receiving orders on time from Macy's. 2 years ago, Christmas items were not delivered, but showed up on my doorstep 3 months later. When contacting Customer Service, you are automatically connected to someone in the Philippines and had to ask several times to repeat what they were saying. Transferred 4 times around the Philippines and finally requested to speak to someone in the US. As I asked where the Filipino customer service agent was located she replied "The Philippines, why? Have you ever been here?" Smart A. They do not resolve issues at this company, they just apologize for their incompetence.
I placed 3 orders of merchandise to take on a trip to San Francisco - leaving tomorrow. They were delivered to the local post office instead of my home which means that I have none of it for my trip. Macy's suggested that I call the Post office and go pick it up myself. I am disabled. The post office doesn't allow this plus, who does that? They are the only company I have ever had an issue with like this. Returning all. Don't waste your time or money with them.

No longer receive any sales information, birthday (coupon) notification, special sales events. So, I called Macy's and a nice male told me he would have to check into this situation. About two weeks later I got a letter say that due to "low usage" on card, I didn't qualify anymore for mailings. I was told to go online, have tried to purchase and got a damaged sweater (already worn stained) that was near impossible to return the item and get shipping charges and cost of item credited. Try coming to the store and they will give me the most recent literature at the help desk. O.K., not for me. I have a drive to the closest store and would appreciate looking at a brochure instead. When online it takes longer, can see or feel texture and certainly fitting is impossible. Yes, I now am very close to shredding my card. Does it matter that I had just spent $80.00 the month before. Now, won't be shopping here.

I feel lied to by the company. Everyone I talk to has a difference response, and I can't get a clear response from anyone. Our couch is defective and no one will help.

I was told seven years ago if I purchased The Worrynomore plan for my sofa sectional and did not make a claim in 7 years I could get my money back. Last July I purchased a mattress with the intention of paying off the purchase this July with money from the plan. I was assured by employees in the mattress department at Macy's that this could be done. Now I'm being told the plan reimbursement only comes in the form of a voucher to be used for the purchase of new furniture or bedding. I would have held off on the purchase if I were told this a year ago. I believe I have been lied to by salespeople and I will not shop at Macy's ever again if I do not get the money I am owed.

We purchased a leather couch at Macy's in 2012. Unfortunately, the couch had continual problems with the electronics (recliners) and we had to have service on it numerous times. Each time it was not fixed but told someone else would need to come out. Because we overall liked the couch, we opted to keep it and continue to have service on it. Well, their "Worry no More" decided they were not going to continue to "fix" the existing couch and cancelled out service person, but did not inform us of the cancellation. When the person did not contact us or show up, we contacted them to be informed that Macy's "Worry no More" cancelled the service ticket. We then contacted Macy's to find out, indeed that was done. We were told a letter was sent, of which we never received. At that point they told us we had a specific amount of time to find a new couch at Macy's to receive the refund.
We then picked another couch and set up delivery and pick up. Well, no credit was ever made to our card. I started calling 3 weeks after pick up to find out the couch was never inputted at the dock as a return and was told it would take a few days and I should see a credit. A week later no credit. I called to find out the amount had been credited to an old Macy's Visa, not the new Macy's American Express. Long story short, after numerous calls with the department store, Macy's customer service, Macy's bed and furniture, and "Worry no More", 2 billing cycles later I still do not have a credit on the correct card, and now am being told, they should've contacted me to issue a check. Then I am transferred to another person to be told: they will transfer to the other account. It is simple. WOW, really... Now I just want the check since transferring has not been a simple task and I no longer trust their promises to deliver.
Also, new couch already has something wrong and we are once again requesting someone to service it. I would not buys furniture at Macy's and would not have purchased the second one there had it not have meant forfeiting the amount of money we spent on the first couch. Think twice and be prepared to be disappointed if you need to rely on the "Worry no More". The people are nice, but apparently no one knows their protocol/process and communication is not high on their list.

If I could rate -0- stars, I would certainly do so. After being a loyal Macy's customer spending thousands of dollars a year and being a preferred member reaching the highest level of customer ranking, I missed one payment because my father was dying and they reported me to the credit bureau for being 30 days overdue. I understood as they have no idea why my payment was due. However, what I didn't expect was when I called offering to provide proof of illness and explaining the situation they simply told me that the only time they reverse reporting to the credit agencies is when it is their fault and that they could not do anything.
Someone needs to tell the Macy's executive management team that customer loyalty should be respected which is why credit companies such as Discover are doing so well. I was spending on average over $500 a month on internet and store purchases and no more. I'll be looking for a not Federated Department store chain to take my business too and make sure I am appreciate as a customer there. I understand Nordstrom is very good at honoring their customers loyalty and have great customer service.

I would like to gift a friend from Singapore who was assigned to work in Sunnyvale, CA for 2 months, however I live in Minnesota so I thought of ordering items from Macys.com for pick up at Macy's Valleyfair. Orders from .com are given 7 days to be picked up and then they promise to refund unpicked up items. My friend had to work overtime so she was not able to pick up the first one, I ordered again because the time is up for the first item. I bought the first gift for pick up on the day of her birthday. This one was marked picked up by the store but she never made it to the store at all. 4 days after it was marked as returned. Okay I got my credit back.
However, the second item was not picked up but again marked as picked up. I waited the same amount of time to see if they will mark it as returned and refund me. It has been over 21 days now and I already called almost everybody from call center to executives at macys.com and until now they do not refund me. They promised to investigate the issue but until now nobody returned my call.
I never had issues with my local store here in Minnesota. So are the associates at this branch allowed to steal items that are not picked up? I was thinking associates can just steal items, marked them picked up and let the person who ordered the item suffer. To think they should never ever mark unpicked up items as picked up and then return later unless they are really picked up and returned. They should ID the person and keep proof that the items were picked up e.g. an actual signature. They cannot show me actual proof. Because they charged me I will ask my friend to go there this weekend and really pick up the item. I hope someone start a settlement for situations like this. Also, they said they will charge for free gifts. To be honest I just throw fragrance samples in the garbage. I returned their free gifts.

I paid 5,000.00 for a completely leather sectional and now the finish is coming off and the frame has been replaced twice. The furniture is only 2 years old and now they don't want to stand behind their furniture, said it wasn't reported during the first year. I had service on it twice during the first year. It is only 2 years old now, and it is completely falling apart. Please Macy's stand behind what you sell!!! I have bought several pieces of furniture from Macy's and will never buy any again, unless this is taken care of to my satisfaction.

Hello Everyone. 4 days, 10 orders, 10+ calls to Macy's Customer Care and all I got is grief, frustration and a worst customer service one can imagine. Macy's online system is broken and every time I place an order I get the 'cancellation' saying my information is incorrect. I call them back and every time customer service representative suggest to change my information as it does not match what they have. A mistake can happen one time or let say for a sake 2 times but a mistake cannot be repeated 10 times. They were unable to tell me what is wrong with my information. I called my credit cards (I used multiple card) and they said they have paid the total requested amount to Macy's but they refund to your account after a day. I can go on and on but all I can say, 'NO WONDER THEIR REVENUE/SALES ARE GOING DOWN, YOU ONLY GET WHAT YOU DESERVE.'
