      To Customer Service Representative: I am truly upset that my request for a credit has been rejected. I have hoped that Macy’s reputation as an honest business entity, would understand that I had not received the items that were ordered because of an address issue but I guess I was mistaken. I have called on multiple occasions in my attempt to rectify this situation by trying to get the address corrected, but now I am being told that I am losing $240.92 and I have nothing to show for my money. I hope you will reconsider your position because you have provided me with a credit for part of this order totaling $47.30. The fact that you found cause to provide me with this partial credit should give my request for full credit totaling $288.22 more credibility for consideration. I believe that your review of my order history would not have allowed for a partial refund of this order. It is not fair business to address part of my issue because it benefits your bottom line. This is truly unacceptable and if you’re not willing to do the responsible thing to satisfy my concerns then I will seek other ways to be compensated for my concerns.

      I placed an order June 10th at macys.com for a perfume set. I paid extra for shipping to make sure i get it in time. I kept tracking it only showed waiting on dasher then a couple hours later switched to delivered. I never got an alert on it was picked up by the delivery person or out for delivery. I contacted the merchant multiple times and was told thats not their issue and there is nothing they can do for me. They refuse to help me or show any proof of delivery. I was told Door dash was suppose to contact me they never contacted me . One of the pictures is a screenshot of ******** tracking where it says no tracking information found.

      On Apr 28th I tried to place an order online for $131.05. Used a Macy’s gift card for $105 plus my discover card for the rest. The order failed despite a few attempts with two diff credit cards. The error message stated that the system was having issues charging my credit card. However, that same system depleted 100% of the gift card balance. The bag id for the order was ***********. Since then I have called in the GC cust svc line multiple times. Every representative tells a different story. There is a major cross training gap in that department. I have also filed a claim online and provided all the evidence requested only to receive an email stating they could not help me, to call the cust svc number. Last time I called I was told that there was no record of what happened to my GC, to submit a new claim. I am simply exhausted of dealing with incompetent people. No one knows what happened or how to proceed. All I am asking is for my $105 dollars back. Please help! List of calls and answers received: Apr 28:Told to wait 24 to 36 hrs and to expect email with the cancellation. The GC would be replenished automatically. Apr 29:Told I should file a claim but no further instructions offered. I found the form online on my own. May 2:Received email asking for evidence of having purchased the GC, contact info, etc. Responded that same day. May 8:The rep told me it was still under investigation but that he would call me back in three days with an update. Never did. May 14:The rep requested a GC replacement instead. Claimed this was the quickest route. She even promised to call me three days later to provide the GC numbers over the phone so I could use it and not wait for snail mail. May 20:Told for the first time that the investigation could take up to 30 days. I was also informed that my new GC had been approved and that it would be put in the mail on May 29th. Jun 18:No record of previous calls. Recommendation: Open a new claim and start over.

      Bought a Mattress from Macy’s and less than a year later the Mattress buckled in the center. Instead of replacing the mattress they sent an inspection company. The mattress was in our closet. The inspector supposedly inspected the box spring and according to him it had a buckle. Both items were purchased together at Macy’s. So why would I be responsable. He never asked us any questions except if we were going to place the mattress it that room. Also he was an elderly man that was unable to bend to see under the box spring.

      I placed an order for a ***** raffia crossbody handbag on June 9, 2024. Order number is ********** for $61.31. Order was shipped via UPS tracking ****************** and delivered on June 14, 2024 to ***** ********* **** instead of my delivery address from my order in **********. I opened a claim with Macys who is refusing to refund me because tracking shows a delivery was made, ignoring that it was sent to the wrong city.

      On 4/4/24, we ordered 3 mattresses with "white glove delivery" and take away of old mattresses from Macys for a total of $5,947.12. On 4/11/24 as the delivery team was carrying one of the mattresses up the staircase, the mattress hit the stairwell light. This resulted in the glass globe shattering. We were advised someone from Macy's would call us to resolve the issue. No one ever called. After a few weeks we called them and were offered $100 to replace the light. As the light is in a two story stairwell and needs professional install, this would not cover replacement. They said the most they could cover was $200. We got a quote from ****** Electric. Their professional install required two people and was estimated to cost $285. Our contractor offered to do this for $150, though he is not an electrician. We requested they cover $150 for install and $200 for light, along with a credit for the $75 delivery/take away fee. Our actual cost to fix the problem will be significantly more, but would have accepted this to avoid spending any more time trying to obtain the actual cost of replacement. They declined and requested we work with their warehouse team to provide several estimates. At this point it is not cost effective to stay home from work multiple days, especially when there is no guarantee they will cover any cost. We asked for the manager's name on multiple occasions and were never permitted to speak directly with a manager. We are requesting professional electrician install of $285, $300 to replace the light (though will surely be more), and $75 to credit the delivery/take away fee. The damage to our home was avoidable and completely the fault of the delivery team. Macy's has created several hurdles to a fair resolution and we hope the BBB can help.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********. In addition to this response, I received a call from Angela L****** at their executive office. It was Angela's response that I am accepting. She went above and beyond to correct the situation, by sending us a check for the installation costs and crediting us back a 15% discount on our order to account for cost of fixture and delivery charge, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.

      I tried today, June 16, 2024 to call Macy's and delete my online account that I use for shopping. Both individual spoke SO BADLY I DID NOT KNOW IF THEY WERE EVEN SPEAKING ENGLISH, this is a joke Macy's. This account is only an online account for ordering, nothing to do with anything but that. I WANT MY ACCOUNT DELETED, Macy's has to many foreign bad English speaking CS people and it seems that lately my last sever orders were not as expected and or wrong, I am over it Macy's. Someone is also using my cell number and I found this out when I tried to update the number, this is bad!
