I ordered from them on Black Friday. Unfortunately they sent my item to the wrong address. I track my shipments closely so I notified them of the issue within an hour of the UPSP noting it was undeliverable. Over the course of a week, I dealt with (4) different reps. My question every time was: "Where is my box going and how do we get it re-sent to me?" What I got was some version of the same "It's no longer in stock so we can't re-ship it. Here's a refund." I was clear every time. I'm not talking to about shipping me a new item. I don't care if it's in the inventory or not. The items I ordered are coming back to Macy's. There' s no obvious reason why you can't send them to me. The first person said some escalations team would contact me in 2-3 business days but that never happened. It wasn't until I got the 4th person that they told me they have no way to communicate with the warehouse that would receive the returned shipment? Seriously? There's no procedure for getting me what I ordered? My only consolation is that my kids had no idea they were getting this particular thing for Christmas so they won't know they aren't getting it.

Jewelry Dept RIP-OFF!
November 24, 2018

I purchased a bracelet, online, as a gift for $314.29. The Bracelet did not fit comfortably so I decided to return it and purchase something different. The Dept. Manager, at the Mall of NH Macy's Store, said that I only had 30 days to return it! I had not even given the gift by then! Your return policy states 180 Days. He said if you dig deeper it says 30 days for Jewelry. That's ridiculous! I should not have to click on separate links to find the actual policy! It, at least, should have been on my receipt! I was willing to exchange it or except store credit. The only thing he would do is give me $188.79 store credit, for something UNUSED, WITH THE TAGS STILL ON IT, Receipt in hand, that I paid $314.29 for! That is like stealing $125.50 from me because they are going to put that back in the case and sell it again, for full price! The Better Business Bureau might be interested in that! While at the store today I noticed that at this time of year, they give you 90 days to do full refunds on jewelry. So I know they can do it, they just did not want to. This is not the way to treat loyal customers!

UPDATE: After I was contacted by the jewelry supervisor, I have since been refunded the full amount of my purchase.

Shabby Customer Service
November 19, 2018

UPS did not deliver my package on time because Macy's didn't put the suite number on the delivery slip, even though the complete and accurate address was clearly stated at the time of the order.

The only solution Macy's customer service was able to offer was I could pick it up at the UPS depot, 5 hours after the end of work and on the other side of town. This is not acceptable, especially since I live 45 miles away in another city.

So poor attention to detail, followed by shabby customer service. I will not be using Macy's ever again.

Disappointed!
November 1, 2018

I ordered from them online international Canada, it gave me confirmation and I thought everything was fine but after a 10 days I emailed them for shipping confirmation and they replied back telling me that it has been cancelled, they don't have it in stock and I should buy it thru another site. The inconvenience it costed me with my Visa card was horrible. I was charged already for something they never had. They don't communicate. Don't trust online shopping with them, not trust worthy. They always ship late and it takes them even a month. This is ridiculous and I won't be shopping with them again. DON'T TRUST THEM. This item was suppose to be bday gift and wanted it on time.

I guess Macy's stopped trying. They are down to about 1/8th of the brands they used to carry and the store looks sloppy and poorly arranged. It is starting to look like a TJ Maxx, only 10 x the price. I can't see Macy's lasting the next 5 years.

I am a longtime customer and I've had lots of experiences with Macy's, both good and bad. Still, I continue to buy here and am not planning on changing that. It's a classic that you can't really go wrong with.

You have to shop for real at Macy's and you will get a great sale. Loyalty pays off with Macy's if you know their merchandise you can get a good deal even in gold. They will make adjustments, and they often have trending items on sale. I just hope they keep their doors open and stop downgrading their sales merchandise CEO Jeff Gennette!
More high-end designers mixed with mid-level products is what is needed.

Used shoes as new... REALLY, Macy's!
October 8, 2018
Updated review

It's no wonder that Macy's stores are on the way out. I placed an order online for two pairs of shoes. Picked up my box and went to the car. Before I drove off I double checked to make sure that I got what I had ordered. One pair (9 West pumps) was perfect. However, the Jessica Simpson shoes were dirty and worn. Not just "tried on" but literally had been worn and worn multiple times. There are visible toe prints, areas of dirt and stains, areas where the suede was rubbed and faded. I wasn't just disgusted, but I was also angry because I ordered these shoes to wear to a wedding this weekend. I would love to re-order, but I can't take a chance of not getting 'new' shoes instead of used shoes for a department store. I can go to Goodwill across the street had I wanted to get a shoe like that. Macy's, you really should be ashamed of yourself for even having this used dirty shoe in stock in your warehouse. Seriously!

Mattress Purchase
October 3, 2018

Purchased a mattress at Macy's a month ago (Labor Day Sale). They told me I had 30 days to return it. To return this item, it will cost me nearly $1,000.00. Greedy commercialism! I was not told by the salesman before I made the purchase. When I spoke with the agent on the phone about the return, she said that they have it posted in the mattress department. I NEVER saw it posted anywhere, it must be hidden inconspicuously somewhere. BUYER BEWARE.

I tried for five days to order from Macys.com

I finally called customer service who pulled up my order. They did not know, via the order, that I had a $12 discount due to a promotion, did not know that I was ordering via a registry, did not know there was a gift message included, etc. So, after five days of trying to order online and waiting over 10 minutes and three times of being transferred from one operator to another, I hung up and ordered my gift from another company. Such a shame. Macy's was always my favorite go-to place for anything I needed. No more!

So happy with Macy's!
August 22, 2018

I can't say enough about Macy's.com. Firstly, all cosmetics orders always have free shipping! Whether you order $10 or $100, it's always free shipping. I love that! They have great sales all the time, and they have lower end brands that they dont carry in the stores. I recently ordered some shoes and clothing. The shipping was quick. I am really impressed and now I know that k dont need to go downtown to pick up what I need. Thumbs up people!

So I bought a beautiful designer purse... pay a lot for expedited shipping, had to track my package only to find out that it still had not shipped... it was somewhere in their system, meanwhile I get an email asking me how I like the purse... telling me it was delivered... so spent hours on the phone with people I could barely understand explaining that I never received it... They acknowledged this and I asked them to just process a refund... Had to call again as no refund email was sent... ended up calling the store and asking the manager to make sure a refund was processed... BE VERY CAREFUL SHOPPING AT MACYS found the same item on Amazon for $40 less...

Love ordering online
August 16, 2018

Almost every order I've purchased online has been excellent and if not it's very easy to return/exchange in-store rather than pay for shipping. Any time there has been a problem with an order Macy's has made it right. A little expensive sometimes but always GREAT sales so if you wait you can usually get a really good deal!
