Ordered some fun stuff for the office, wanted to give the place a touch of humor (accounting offices can be sooo boring) and the toilet top desk manager was hilarious. Arrived on time, and looks great.

WhyTF does Macy's send out those absolutely worthless Platinum Member coupons…Instead of listing exclusions on the back try listing the 2 items in the store they do cover. I started reading the exclusion list and realized it included the entire dam store. Send me a $5 dollar coupon and stop paying to print all of these BS $15 $25 or if you spend $200 you get $50 off….BS….My 3 orders were over $1000 dollars and I couldn't even get $15 off of $50….Out of over $1000 not even $50 qualified….It's ridiculous…Maybe that's why you have a 2.7 customer satisfaction rating…!

Not what it once was
January 20, 2020

Still trading on its reputation as a superior retail store, but it now sells products that aren't properly checked for quality. If the item you buy has a small flaw that you don't spot within the 90-day return window, you're on your own. Expect a snotty, high-handed tone when you deal with customer service too.

Horrible CS
September 29, 2022

Placed an order which they proceeded to ship all 3 items separately. Two items showed up the other item very obviously never made it to shipping, a label was created then zip. Contacted twice was told they couldn't do anything until day 10 even though it was obvious what had happened. Contacted day 11, now told have to wait 5 more days then they would process a refund which will take whose knows how long to credit. Amazon would have refunded or shipped the item 3 times in this same time period. Totally unacceptable!

Poor Servive
June 15, 2021

Went to Macy's at Southridge Mall. Had several clothing items I wanted to purchase. I went to two different counters in the clothing area only to be told those registers were not open. I was directed to the service counter near door. There were several people in line and only one clerk. He repeatedly told us that we could check out in shoes. When he said it the 3rd time I responded, "I have been to two other counters. Both directed me here. I am done moving." I don't know if this is a staffing issue or what, but they really need to get it together.

Macys phone customer service is not in the U.S
They dont speak English or understand it. Very noisy background.Called numerous times and a simple situation like adding an apartment number to an address was not done for me. I had to put in 2 orders costing me twice the price. Shameful!

I placed my order super early to ensure my mom would get her birthday present... well her bday came and went. Order still says waiting for ups pick up. 13 days after ordering... not everything ordered at this time of year is for Christmas. Not happy.
I'd ups won't pick up the packages find another way... there are other companies who deliver packages.

Beware before buying online from Macy's. They don't allow any changes or cancellations to order after only 30 minutes. I ordered a baby gift and within 20 minutes found out the recipient moved to a new address. I wasted time with the chat robot and by the time I got to speak with a live agent, the 30 minutes had passed. They would not update the address on my order. So gift will arrive to old address and I'll lose my money. RIDICULOUS. I'm cancelling my Macy's card immediately.

Worst customer service ever! I purchased two items and it takes forever for them to be shipped. I called customer service because I'm going away and needed items to be expedited. They refused to expedite or cancel my purchase which no one will be here to pick up. Non one tried to even assist with my problem. If I could give zero stars I would.

Considerable price difference elsewhere.
September 29, 2023

This same rug sells for $65 cheaper at Bed Bath and Beyond with totally free shipping. This rug is $276.67 at Bed Bath and Beyond without sales tax. Macy's advertised free shipping but added $30 onto item due to it's size and weight. I paid $311.02 for this rug plus $30 shipping and $26.36 tax for a total of $367.38. I will not buy from Macy's again. I will check other suppliers next time.

My Macys experiences are mostly great. Only problem I ever had was when a cashier forgot to remove an alarm (she did deactivate it so I got all the way home before I noticed). Service at the cosmetics counters is great though.

I have also used their chat service which is very easy to use with minimal wait time. If you don't want to hang on the phone, the reps at this service definitely have the know-how to help just as well.

What the heck happened to Macy's clothing department? It used to be my favorite place to buy clothes. Now the person who is in charge of buying clothes looks like they went to an old 1980's attic. The clothes are horrible, the displays are horrible and I find nothing I like. The only decent clothing display is athletic if that's what your going for. I guess I'll be looking for new stores to shop at.

Great store, great products, online help bad
October 15, 2021
Updated review

I just wanted to clarify that it's their online customer service that needs help. In store they're pretty great. Returns are Abit of a pain as well as they have occasionally sent the wrong items and needed to be sent back. The whole process takes forever.

I've been shopping Macy's for years and I love the store. They're trendy and have a lot of great sales, especially with their credit card. The only thing is their customer service lacks some so I took a star offf

I'm not going to lie, customer service in general is usually aggravating, especially when you don't/can't get the answer you are hoping for. I dealt with maces.com yesterday about a misunderstanding when applying for the credit card - they typically offer 20% off - so i decided to buy my wife a burberry purse. There is no fine print that mentions what items are excluded in that 20% - of course, burberry is one of them.

I called up customer service, very upset, and although they could not offer the discount on the purse, they sent me a coupon for 20% off another item - which is a nice gesture. I understand it's a store policy, and the agent was extremely nice, but my only gripe is that they should at least have an exclusions list.

Kleargear.com is all over the news about ripping off customers. I'm glad I wasn't one, and I don't intend to be one, and neither should you! Let this be a lesson to brash management idiots everywhere -- customers are your lifeblood, not helpless victims you can prey on and suck the life out of. Give Jen Palmer her $3500 refund due you vile deplorable slobs!

I purchased an item in-store along with several other stuff, on thanksgiving weekend (Sunday). The lady at the counter charged us for all the items but did not put one of them in our bag. It skipped our attention. She also said that we would get the receipt in the email. Upon reaching home, we realized that we did not get one item, despite paying for it. I also checked my email inbox but there is no receipt in the email. Thankfully, my online account has a charge and a scannable barcode associated with this purchase. We thought that this will allow us to get the refund or the purchased item. But now, the online chat help says that she needs the physical receipt. This all seem to be a long loop to keep the customer stuck. I am pretty disappointed. I don't know if I'll shop again in near future at Macy's.

Nightmare Sofa
July 14, 2020

My son ordered a sofa online and after it did not show up he finally got a hold of someone that told him it was out of stock. He cancelled the order and bought another sofa elsewhere. A few weeks later the sofa from Macy's showed up and he was charged for it. Took me over a month to get issue resolved. So i learned a trick to get through to customer service. Call their customer service line and when the system asks what the issue is in a few words say "place an order". If you do this you get to talk to a real person and they will patch you through to real people. It is how I was finally able to get things handled. It worked every time for me. Hopefully it can help someone else.

Going downhill
April 10, 2017

I spent a lot of money in their stores, up until 2 years ago when their choice and quality of products seemed to decline. Their marked down inventory takes up a huge section of the store... says something when you cannot "give" away what you were trying to sell retail.

Ordered bedding set in October and periodically checked to see tracking status to no avail. Thanksgiving day, I called customer service. The call center rep in Philippines had system trouble due to high volume of calls... after 20 minutes he discovers the merchandise was never sent to UPS. He promptly refunded my money and politely said he did not know what happened - and, Happy Thanksgiving. No apologies. Will never shop Macys.com again. The competition gets customer service.
