Bad experience
December 30, 2024

I opened a card for the promotional discount only to find out you can't use it unless you call them… or receive your card. Very misleading! Not only that but I tried to order twice and it canceled immediately and then everything I took time to add to the order was gone. In chat they transferred me to credit services and they said my account was fine and transferred me back to complete my order but then they stated I needed to call. I wish I never opened the account! So much work for nothing but a dong in my credit score!

I purchased a coat from their website and received a notification from my Credit Card that the purchase had been approved. Then I received an email from Bloomingdale's that my purchase was cancelled and that I needed to call the consumer protection team. So I called them; and they verified me and told me to place the order again. So I did, again the order was cancelled. Again I called them. Again they verified me and told me to place the order again. Again it was cancelled. I called the credit card company to find out if there was a problem on their end; they said no, it's on Bloomingdale's end. This happened a total of 5 times at which point I just threw in the towel. What a pathetic company. No other company I have ever encountered has ever been this incompetent...really pathetic.
Update: I was able to order the same coat directly from Ralph Lauren with no hassle and no issues whatsoever...

4 calls to get actual customer service, pathetic, shop elsewhere all I needed was 5 gift receipts. Finally called NY and got someone with a brain but she was snippy. I wound up printing my order and crossing out the prices and that would be sufficient. I said I would return and reorder and they were ok with that rather than provide any customer service at all.

I want to inform you that Bloomingdale 's are trying to charge my account $607.65 for an item that I did not receive and for which there is no signature or photo for proof of the delivery, only the UPS testimony according to the people who have spoken with me, I have called on several occasions in which they have told me that they are going to reopen the case, it never happened, if there are recordings of my conversations you can find it there. I think it is disrespectful to want to charge a customer for something they have not received and I also think it is your responsibility as a company to protect yourself and your customers from these situations by demanding real proof of delivery like a signature. This has been a very humiliating situation for me and I hope it can be resolved in the fairest way.

I placed an order and of course this store charged my card immediately. I forgot all about the order. Three weeks later, I remembered that I didn't get the shipment. Checked the order status and all it said for those three weeks was "processing" and nothing else. So I contacted customer service for more detailed status. They said "the order is being processed" is what they found. Oh goodie. No thanks. Three weeks to process an order; when your policy states 2-3 business days? Cancel and will never ever shop here again. But of course I'll have to wait 7 business days to get a refund. So they basically received an interest free loan from my bank account for a month. Shop at your own risk! Neiman Marcus would never!

Totally gone downhill
February 21, 2024

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.

Missing shipment
November 1, 2023

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?

Chanel perfume
December 27, 2023

Purchased a Chanel No 5 perfume online, but It never smelled good … may be an old stock. When I initiated a return after 6 months they excepted but the store refused to take it saying there policy is 3 months. The online app has a problem then, they need to fix it. Beware they can sell old stock or a fake perfume too.

Once in a while, I will see a good sale on their site, but you can't get into it! If this company wants to make ANY sales, they really need to tend to their web page. Nordstroms, Saks work great. Its only Bloomingdales with the glitch

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

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 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.

Return policy
December 30, 2023

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

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.

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 love Bloomingdales the quality of customer service is the best. Someone is always willing to help or check in with you and assist you with your purchases. They are great with suggestions if you can't seem to make a decision about a particular product within their respective department. If you want to complete a look they go beyond what is expected to accommodate you. They will also collaborate with other Bloomingdale stores to find what you are looking for. The return policy is awesome if something didn't work out they are willing to take it back with some exceptions. The most important thing is that they take it back with professionalism and not with an attitude.
There is a difference when shopping at a high-end department store such as Bloomingdales versus a low-end high volume clothing manufacturer like Zara you're going to get what you pay for and it's reflected in the quality of the product and the service you receive.

Horrible experience
October 23, 2022

Wow. I bought this cashmere wrap from Bloomingdale's for a trip. $198 plus tax. I used it on the flight to Barcelona. I arrived with my white shirt completely covered in fuzz. I looked like my blouse was mostly grey.
I just tried to return it or exchange it. I had my receipt. I was told NO because it did not have all original tags and I do not qualify for a "no tag required" return. I must spend at least $5000 a year with them for that honor. A manager explained this lovely detail to me while I was in the store today.
I've been a great customer but not to that $$$ tune.
I'm no longer a customer at all.
