You only have 30 minutes to change your order. But wait! You don't get the email to be able to change it until after your 30 minutes are up, and after that you have to wait until it ships. But now your merchandise can get hung up indefinitely in processing. So Macy's takes your money, up front, but then you are at their mercy. This is the last time I shop at Macys

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...

I'm very disappointed as the quality of the products that I received are not even close to what I expected. It is crazy that clothes that I received look very cheap with very low quality and the price is not fair even after sail. This is my idea about ordering on line from Macy and will be my last time ordering. From som many things that I ordered I was only happy with my braw. The rest was waist of money.

Hope it will help you my friends.

Unbelievably Frustrated!
October 30, 2022

So much for being a Platinum Card Holder (for well over 20 years) and supposedly will have first rate customer service. For the 7th or 8th time, I called regarding 2 items I never received! Unbelievable…. Not only did I not receive them, I ended up paying for the damn things and the late fees! Macy's had the audacity to "warn" me today that they could take my "charging privileges" away! All over $81! For me, it was the principal of it all! No worries, Macys! I will just close my account!

Dissatisfied Customer
January 14, 2022

I received a necklace set for my birthday from a relative. However as time went by the chain turned black. Macys refuses to exchange this item. The quality and material used to produce this product was very, very poor. I rate Macys as a 1 for poor customer service and quality of products.

I have been struggling with purchasing from Macy's for some years. How can I tell what the shorts look like when they're hidden deep between the thighs of someone who clearly should not be modeling? Since when do you want a woman (if you can define what that is) looking at the picture and wanting to look like something that just DOESN'T. LOOK. APPEALING? This is just poor marketing strategy.

I been with Macy's since i was in 11th grade H.S this company used to be so competent now most of the representatives in the call center are rude and unable to help with your inquiries. They lied about sending me a statement i requested one month and a half ago.I called after that month within a 2 hrs call tranfers from one to another they block my account.They have the audacity to ask me for a 4 digits referral they sent in the mail. How will i receive those 4 digits in the mail when one rep named "ANNA" said it was the Apt # that was not updated that was the reason i didn't receive my card and my billing statement. How and where would these numbers be sent to. Macy's representatives are trash,unprofessional,rude and most of these agents language communication is below grade level. Hard to understand you and hard for you to understand them. Call center isn't the place for them.

I placed an order online and it was canceled because they can't validate the info I put the order again with another card and Paypal resulting in charges on my card and still they canceled the order because they can't verify the info. Called the CS they are the worst can't speak English and asking for ridiculous information they can't validate because I have an alternative phone number. All BS. Bye, Macy's see you crashing down soon. Your business model and CS suck big time and your online store is a disaster.

Ordered a dress and paid the extra $20 to get dress altered to size. Sent them all of the measurements that they required. Dress came in anbd couldn't zip it up because it is 2-1/2 to 3 inches too small. Wanted to send it back but read the fine print on their website. At their discretion they will return up to 1/2 of your purchase price. Also stated that size can vary from 1 to 3 inches. Who wants to buy a dress that could be plus or minus three inches. At least if it had been three inches too large I might have been able to take it in but three inches too small is for the trash can. Learned my expensive lesson, stay away from Izi Dress Sales and buy American.

Eestee launder
July 6, 2019

Macy's claimed it is 40% off today, including Eestee Lauder. Please try to order the day cream, which is 40% off per he web. Either the web is not working well, or the day cream is on on sale, but it is on exactly per web. It's sad that I have been shopping at Macy's for The last 30 years and it has been going downhill

Bait and switch
January 27, 2016

False advertising and bait and switch at its finest. Would not recommend. Ordered one item (12 pieces deluxe) and they sent inferior item (9 pieces) probably hoping that I wouldn't notice. Never shopping at Macys ever again.

Horrible customer service, nonprofessional and rude. They did not even try to understand the issue to help. They delivered the package to a wrong address which is unknown, I did not receive any item and then they refused reshipment or refund.

Declined
November 26, 2017

Macy's customer service is terrible. Call online and it's some ESL person in the Philippines who isn't fluent in English and it's always aggravating to try to get them to understand the issue. Or call the store, and be subjected to voicemail only, no way to contact a dept. like bedding, which isn't listed in the voicemail. Used to be able to press zero and security would answer and transfer the call, but no more.

And the prices are sometimes overpricedafter all their discounts, you could buy it at the same price at Amazon, so check around before buying.

The nice things are the generous return period and the sale prices when they are discounted from a true retail price, not an inflated price.

Macy's credit card system has a two account per customer. If you have an Amex( American Express card) you have two accounts. Supposedly purchase in store is placed on the in-store account. Out of store purchase is placed on Amex card. However if you only have an Amex card, all payments go on that card. In-store credit card is Citibank. Bill statements donot differentiate. Plus credit card calls go to a call center in India. The staff struggle with english and other staff can be heard in the background. Your information is not safe!

Buy during SALES!
September 18, 2016

I love shopping with Macy's especially when it has special promos. My most recent purchase was a Lancôme gift with purchase. I was sent the wrong free gift item and I called up the customer service. I ended up getting a 15% discount on my purchase as well as a $25 Macy's gift card since they didn't have the correct free gift item I originally requested after I mailed back the wrong item.

P.S. I also used Upromise rebate site, thus on top of all the discount & gift card I received from Macy's, I also get 10% cash back on my purchase. How cool is that!

Fake fine jewelry
February 16, 2022

I purchased a rope 14k gold necklace from them, original price 2700. 00 I wore it twice and my neck broke out bad. My husband took it to be appraised and they said it was not real. I took it back never said we had it appraised just it caused a rash
They gave me a refund and dropped my credit to the nearest hundred owed. Now my credit reflects 98% usage
Smh you better watch what you purchase in fine jewelry.

Excellent

Excellent customer service, there was a slight hiccup with their online ordering and I couldn't get my order placed. I called and they apologized profusely and gave me a discount off my order, which I had not expected.
