I placed an order on July 22, 2022 and delivery was estimated for 3-5 days. I noticed that my order still hadn't been processed, so I reached out to Neiman Marcus through text messaging on 7/26 and I was told that my shipping would be upgraded to overnight due to the convenience. My package did not arrive on 7/27 as promised, so I reached back out and they told me it would be delivered on 7/28. Today is 7/28 and the order still hasn't been shipped! I reached back out and they offered me 10% off, but still can't say where my order is. The new email I was sent now says delivery is scheduled for 7/29, which is impossible. This is bizarre behavior from a retailer. I needed the items for an event on 7/30 and they have totally ruined my gift. My order # is WN20350474152. I am tired of receiving fake delivery dates. One item is out of stock and the other isn't available for pickup and that is why I have not canceled. Going back and forth with NM has wasted my time and I still need to go find a replacement gift!Business Response

I purchased 2 pairs of shoes from Neiman Marcus's website on July 14th. I received the first pair within days but unfortunately my second pair kept showing up as still being processed. I called the company after a week to receive an update in regards to my order. I was told by the customer representative that they would request my order be processed immediately via email. I finally received shipment confirmation for delivery on Monday July 23rd but never received it. Then my updated delivery stated Tuesdat July 24th. I received the shoes finally and to my surprise there were two 2 different size shoes inside the box! I called to speak to someone about my unsatisfactory service and all I was told was sorry for the inconvenience but the shoe is out of stock. I asked to speak to a manager and was placed on hold for almost thirty minutes! There was no offer for an alternative shoe of the same value, additional customer incentive or anything. I had to wait two weeks for this shoe which was purchased as a gift and now everything is ruined! I paid $330 dollars for this pair of shoes, not including the taxes or shipping and this is the result? Highly unacceptable!!! As a loyal customer you would think Neiman Marcus would handle their customers with better care. Im completely outraged!Business Response

I placed and order with Neiman Marcus July 10th for a pair of low top AQ sneakers, Here we are 13 days later and still have not received my shoes. I've spoken with 2 supervisors ******** and **** both Neiman Marcus supervisor to try and resolve the issue but they both keep lying and I believe there's something more as to why they aren't delivering my shoes to me. I have several messages from Neiman's saying my shoes are coming everyday I call and it's nothing. A part of me think something else is going on and I want to get to the bottom of things because I spend way to much money with neiman's for this to happen!Business Response

Back in November I came across a promotion (I believe it was Black Friday related) where Neiman Marcus was offering $750 gift card for orders over $2,000+. I never spend this much but specifically ordered multiple of my favorite colognes to qualify for the promotion. It's now been over 6 months and I never received the $750 gift card. I called the company and they direct me to specific division that handles this and when contacting that division, they have no record of my purchase (very shady) and didn't know how they would be able to help me without a record, I even offered to email to it to them and tell them that it was able to be pulled up directly on the Neiman Marcus website with the order number and they said they couldn't access those systems.I would like to be given the $750 credit I am owed immediately. I have attached a screenshot of my order, in it you can also clearly see that a VGC (virtual gift card) was part of the order.Business Response

Dear Better Business Bureau,
Thank you for taking the time to communicate to
us the concern raised by our customer, *******************.
Our goal is to address our customer's feedback,
to evaluate and research their concern, and to provide the best solution available or an explanation of what occurred.
We have researched the customer's concern and a $250.00 gift card was sent to the email address
the customer provided on the order around 1/18/22.
The order qualified for the $250.00 gift card based on the customers net spend of $1,929. Select regular-price merchandise qualified for the gift
card. The Cashmere Sweater was a sale item which was excluded. To qualify for a $750 gift card the net spend must have been $3,000.
The $250 gift card which was sent in January has expired. A 3-day virtual gift card replacement has been sent to the customer's email address on 7/26/2022.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention and allowing us to address the customer's concern.

Hello,
I just saw this was responded to. I was given a 3-day gift card only, how is that acceptable, no time to properly use it?
I also disagree with the stated response, the sweater they said was not eligible on the checkout showed it as eligible so therefore made me seem like I would be receiving the $750 gift card.Business Response
Date: 08/16/2022
Dear ******* Business Bureau,
Thank you for the customer's response. The original gift card from the promotion in the amount of
$ ****** was sent to the customer's email on 1/18/22. The gift card was not used and expired
on 4/26/22.
Once a gift card expires, the customer qualifies for a one-time reissue of a 3 day virtual gift
card replacement. The replacement gift card was
emailed to ************** on 7/26/22.
We would be more than happy to send a replacement gift card in the amount of $ ******. The gift card will expire in 3 days. We can issue the gift card at ****************** convenience.
We are terribly sorry that the order did not qualify for the $ ****** gift card amount as merchandise must be regular-price based on the promotional gift card details.
Promotional Gift Card Details:
When can I use:
Use code GC4YOU online at checkout before 11/29/21 at 10:00 PM CT.
Where can I use it:
Domestic online orders only.
Promotional Gift Card Offer:
The value of your select regular-price order must total $200 before shipping, tax, and gift packaging. Sale and reduced-price merchandise do not qualify.
Any amount paid with a gift card (promotional or purchased) does not qualify toward the total spend amount to earn a gift card.
Your promotional gift card and redemption instructions will be sent within 8 weeks of the promotion expiration date via the email address used when placing the order. The card expires within 90 days of the issue date indicated on the award email.
We recommend adding do-not-******************* to your contact list.
By participating in this promotional gift card event, you agree to have your award emailed to you via the email address provided when placing your order.

I purchased Initio Parfums from Neiman Marcus in ********* **.

I provided them my charge, and they said they were not able to do anything and provided me with these clauses: b. Products must be returned to Company within 7 days of delivery using a mailing method that allows for shipment tracking. The company will provide a return label via email correspondence upon receipt of damage or defect.i. Only products purchased through the Website may be returned to Company in accordance with this return policy. Company products purchased through any other outlet are subject to the return policies applicable to such outlets.I pointed them to another clause on their website: This clause does not affect your legal rights in relation to faulty products.Return of faulty products will be under the responsability of INITIO Parfums Privs.However, they did not take ownership of that clause in their email chain and simply stated "We want to clarify that we can't be responsible for others online resellers clause," even though it is on their website. After a few emails back and forth where I explained how that clause supersedes the previous clauses, they simply stopped responding. I like their products and I want to support their business, but they are making it very difficult by not standing behind their bottle design even though it is known to leak.Business Response

I purchased a $400 Neiman Marcus gift card (using a **** gift card that I had) with the intention of purchasing a very specific piece of jewelry listed on your website. When I tried to purchase the item, I was told it is not available and would not be for the foreseeable future. I was originally advised by ************* to reach out to ****** Services about this. ****** Services said I had no recourse and would not be able to return the gift card. I find this very troubling. I would not have purchased the gift card if I knew the item was unavailable. And now I am unable to return it. This is not the ************* I have experienced previously with Neiman Marcus.
