“Great customer service and assortment”

PA A.

Not sure what they are doing different than everyone else but they always seem to have the item I'm looking for and shipping and return process are exemplary. Not to mention their first rate communication. Other retailers should follow and learn from this customer centric retailer. Their buyers, operations and logistics team should be commended. Thank you!

“They send my product to wrong address”

They send my product to the wrong address. Now it's an issue to get a refund. They mentioned I'm not eligible for my money back. Not only that, the amount of money I've spend on this store. The customer service is the worse they sound Indian or from Philippines. They can't communicate at all. Not only that some of them are from here and they give you attitude. I'm going to bring my business to Nordstrom or sacks

I used to love Bloomingdale's, but lately their customer service has become horrible. I they refused to do a price adjustment even though the delivery date was within range. If the carrier is delayed, too bad for you! Closed my account and will only shop at Nordstrom from here on out! No wonder Bloomingdale's / Macy's stock is in the toilet and they're closing so many stores. Truly sad.

Tip for consumers:
Horrible customer service policies!

I received a gift for my new baby. Born 6 weeks ago. Came from Bloomies but without a gift or otherwise receipt. Bloomingdales refused to return it. Said it was "not being sold" anymore. The little outfit was newborn size and bought A month ago. How can it not be sold anymore? And since When do they refuse returns when the label and tag Left no doubt it wa purchased at Bloomingdale's. When I complained to the manager, he looked at me and simply said, "not in the computer, not accepting a return and have A nice day". With that he walked away. Be careful what you buy, what receipts you keep and what Gifts you send. Terrible, terrible, terrible service,

So disrespectful. Such a waste of time.
Ordered Hobbs petite suit jacket. It arrived crumpled up in a 12x12 bag. It looked used.

Grossly used, with human flakes of skin and unknown discoloration. I paid $300 for a used suit jacket? I was itchy after touching it and couldn't get it out of the house fast enough.

I called Bloomingdales customer service. I thought they would want to know. After patiently waiting through recordings and being on hold, the rep really did not want to hear the details. Sounds like they hear it all day.

Worse thing is, they are going to re-sell this blazer.
Disgusting. I wonder how many people received this dirty suit jacket?

I wish I could upload more photos. It really is gross!

I've had my eyes on these boots for awhile but they were out of my price range. Cue Bloomingdale's… as they were on sale plus an additional 25% off. The red suede is stunning in person, amazing quality and even for a tall heel I can walk in them.

Tip for consumers:
For returns you only have 30 days so be sure to return them in that timeframe

I am compelled to share my deeply disappointing experience with Bloomingdale's, a retailer that has not only failed in its basic responsibility but has also demonstrated a shocking lack of empathy during a crucial time.

In the midst of dealing with my son's chemotherapy, I placed an order with Bloomingdale's, hoping for a brief respite from the stress. Upon being notified of the package's delivery, I rushed home from the hospital, only to discover that it was nowhere to be found. This failure in the fundamental task of delivering a package has left me both frustrated and disheartened.

My attempts to seek resolution from Bloomingdale's customer service were met with indifference and a complete lack of accountability. Instead of understanding the urgency and emotional strain, the representatives treated my concerns as inconsequential.

Adding insult to injury, I now find myself forced to pay for an item I never received. Bloomingdale's negligence and heartless response during this challenging time are inexcusable.

I urge potential customers to exercise caution when considering Bloomingdale's for their purchases. The company's failure in delivering both products and compassion is not only a severe letdown but also indicative of a business that lacks integrity. Share this cautionary experience with others, as Bloomingdale's has lost not just a customer but also trust and respect.

I purchased a pink dress, and called within 30 mins to change the color of dress. Customer service told me I would have to cancel the order and place another order for the correct color. I did. Later, I checked my bank and there were 3 holds on my acct. I made several attempts to get Bloomingdale to release the 2 holds on my bank account. I was told they could send an authorization letter to my bank to release the hold. After talking to my bank, I realize/was told that is not the way holds are released. Bloomingdale provided false info. So, my dressed shipped today. One payment was processed and the two holds are still on my acct. Bloomingdale informed me that their policy states holds will be released in 7 days. Remember, I purchased one dress, canceled first order, and placed a new order. Bloomingdale placed not 2 holds, but 3 holds on my bank acct. I hope others won't have this same experience.

Was returning a handbag. Two elderly saleswomen rivaled the mean girls you meet in junior high. Interactions like this are how businesses fade and fail. Sat 7/16 afternoon westchester store. I have the money to spend, but no store can last with mean girl help.
Best of luck and consider advising your girls not to suggest my aunt "regifted" my expensive handbag. Meow

I had ordered make up foundation from Bloomingdale's.com ups delivered it to a wrong house with picture proof according g to their trucking it's not my house not my front door. After,any calls to customer service Bloomingdale's still refuse to replace or refund my money I had contacted my credit co to dispute a charge. Every time I call Bloomingdale's customer service they keep feeding me the same garbage that they'll need 42 hours to review my case well today it's been over a week last time I even spoke to one supervisor who promised to call me, well that didn't happen also. Very curious how long more they'll stay in business with this kind of service?

So disappointed. Brought back a gift without a receipt. Had a bloomindale tag on it and the clerk refused to even let me exchange it. The bar code was on the tag and you would think it would be pretty easy to look up. Bad customer service

Made my purchase on 07/24. I saw the store policy that you can do price adjustment working 10 days. They tried to BS me that I can only do it within one day. They didn't clearly make it in their policies. I also called and asked again their customer service was really aggressive. Not helpful and tried to play the wording game. I'm returning my stuff and will never purchase from Bloomingdale's AGAIN!

I purchased a Johnathan and Drew Kristan rug. I love Kristan rugs I own 3 wool. This rug was a different fabric. My daughter is allergic to wool. Upon receiving the rug it looked nice. Bright and clean. Now the fabric colors seem to have bled into the beige and in some color spots gone all together. The fabric material is all matted and some areas piled. In less than 7 months the rug $1000, looks 100 yrs old, dirty and I'm rolling it up and tossing it. Bloomingdales refused any help not even an exchange but did offer a megar insulting loyalist $50 gift card. I'm done shopping at a store that won't bend their policy for a serious situation. No more Bloomingdale's for me.

Verified purchase

One line shopping is awfull. Merchandise comes in stages and then to go and pick it up at the store I had to call a manager to get the people to do their job. If you don't have barcode which I had the print out and they could have looked it up with my name and phone number. The employee working the on-line area did not want to help so everything he typed in my name and phone number was wrong so he said I cannot find it. When they found my merchandise I returned it immediately because I was disgusted with the shopping experience.

My refunds take 7-14 days (a scam to hold my money). I placed 2 large orders last night. They charged me immediately, and then cancelled my orders within the hour. They sent me 2 emails to contact customer service via phone number. I did. They told me they will have to cancel my orders. My refunds will be processed within 7-14 days. Seriously it takes that long to refund my money. I called my bank. They told me that Bloomingdale's intentionally hold my payment for a long period of time and there is nothing they can do. I called Bloomingdale's back again multiple times but I received the same answer/ a lie that it is a standard practice for the refunds to be processed within 10-14 days even if my orders were cancelled within an hour by the company. I am intending to pursue legal actions.

Tip for consumers:
Refund scam, they intentionally withhold funds for more than 7 days even when they are the one who cancelled the orders.

Super disappointed with their service, I made a purchase on 3/29/22 and still have not received, even thought I paid for the express delivery. I have contacted the store more than 7 times and they keep saying that my order will arrive and they are not able to make the refund. It is a $200 purchase and after all these attempts, I will take legal measures to have my money back. Worst customer service ever!

Tried to return men's polo and tee, First, hard to even find a sales person. Went to custoner service, and practically accused of dishonesty. "Don't even know if we carry this." When this store goes out of business, it will not be because of online competition. It will be from its own horrible service.

I ordered a pair of silver shoes and received a pair of cream shoes by a different designer that looked WORN! The informed me they I would get a $300 gift card for my inconvenience bit sent $125 gift card. I needed those shoes for an invite. To add insult to injury, they emailed me the incorrect label.

Tip for consumers:
They really need to do a better job with their shipping products. There appear to be some shady people at their wear house. I’m still in shock that I received a pair of dirty, worn shoes. This is appalling!

I had an incredibly disappointing experience with Bloomingdale's that I feel compelled to share. I placed two online orders, both of which were inexplicably canceled and never delivered. This alone was frustrating enough, but what followed was even more infuriating.

When I attempted to resolve the issue over the phone, I found myself waiting on hold for over an hour. After enduring this excessive wait time, I finally had the chance to explain my situation, only to be met with further disappointment. I requested a call back, which I never received.

What's particularly disheartening is that these canceled orders amounted to over $3,000 of my hard-earned money, which is now in limbo, waiting to be refunded.

This has undoubtedly been the worst customer experience I've ever encountered. The combination of canceled orders, an unreasonably long phone wait, and an apparent lack of follow-through on their part has left me feeling utterly frustrated and dissatisfied.

As a customer, I expect a certain level of service and accountability, especially when dealing with a reputable retailer like Bloomingdale's. Unfortunately, my recent experience has shattered that expectation.

I sincerely hope that Bloomingdale's takes this feedback to heart and works diligently to improve their customer service and order fulfillment processes. In the meantime, I would caution others to exercise caution when considering making purchases through their online platform.

If you're placing an online order be aware that they might charge your account and send you an email saying some bs about it not being complete. And once you call and confirm they still don't complete your order and you're stuck with having to wait 3-8 days until they decide when to refund your money back! They're just terrible I didn't think a store like them could've had such terrible costumer service! If i could give 0 starts i would

Website is very confusing. Finally I got an agent, and the website chat agent welcomed me by saying "thank you for calling Macy's" lol. Customer service over the phone is also terrible. After many inquiries, I was told I am unable to pay my Bloomindale's card with a visa, a checking account is necessary. Here's the fun part - they charge $5 to take a check payment over the phone. I'm all done with Bloomingdales.

Tip for consumers:
Don't open a Bloomingdale's credit card. Not worth the trouble.
