I ordered some dressy boots from Macy's at Christmas time. I was delightfully surprised that they arrived early and was able to have them to wear to a Christmas concert that night!

I love ordering from Macy's online as well as shopping in their stores. I'm almost always thrilled with the quality of their products.
What's great about online shopping with Macys is if you're not happy with an item they offer free shipping to return the item. I've not had to use it often but how many stores offer this great service?

I have purchased several clothing items and shoes from Macy's.com. I have gotten some really great deals that actually surprised me. Most recently I purchased two coats that I got for less than half of their retail price. They arrived very quickly and I am very happy with the quality. Purchasing on their site was easy and simple to find items I was interested in.

Thank the LORD above for Macy's. I got a lot of my husbands clothing for work and his cruise from here and was amazed how fast shipping was and was super excited to see him strut around in beautiful clothing that finally fit him.

GREAT SELECTION!
March 7, 2015

Going shopping these days can be a giant exercise in disappointment. It seems like every website and mall store or department store all just buy different flavors of the same low-quality crap. THANK GOD FOR MACY'S! When I need to buy a nice gift for somebody or if I am looking for something nice for myself MACY'S has saved the day on MANY occasions.

There's no guarantee that any store will always have what you are looking for, but I highly recommend giving MACY'S a look whenever you need something nice. If you;'re just looking for cheap socks or a nice inexpensive baseball cap, then K-Mart or Target will probably have those at a lower price, but when it comes to looking for anything a bit "nicer", then MACY'S and JC PENNEY are my first two stops (Yeah, JC PENNEY believe it or not -- that place has really changed for the better in recent years). You could also look at Dillards, but then you're gonna pay double or triple AND have to deal with rude employees -- if you like abuse, then go for it, but for me, I'll stick to MACY'S and JC PENNEY.

Macy's is at the top of my list when I am looking for good value a decent prices. Their merchandise is pretty much top of the line. I generally do not leave Macy's without some sort of purchase. Clothes is the number one item on my shopping list, so much to choose from, quality and style, that's Macy's

Due to my job, I move a lot. When I am in countries with expensive clothes, I prefer to shop online and Macy's helps me to buy designer clothes for very attractive prices, that I enjoy. But, some of my orders were messed up - wrong color shirt for example. Also some times I got few items less because they were actualy out of stock (but website tols that they were available). But their international shipping by DHL is very fast and not so expensive, and the prices are realy good so my overall experience is good.

The best
March 2, 2015

I love shopping online with Macy's. They always fill my orders quickly and they have excellent customer service. Returns are easy and I never have to fight to get my money back. Too bad all companies can't be like Macy's.

Great Selection
February 22, 2015

Love the selection here, but tend to shop it only when there are sales going on due to the higher prices. Their customer service is exceptional and we have never had a problem with an exchange.

Ordered with a gift certificate and waited 10 days with no delivery. Called in to find out order had never gone through. By then the items I ordered (that were on sale) were all gone...

Worst customer service
February 7, 2015

Worst customer service. I shop online to avoid dealing with Macy's poorly trained and unmannered personnel. Today, they canceled my online order. Just like that. I received a confirmation yesterday, but today, it's been canceled. I got an email and call that my order was canceled because someone blocked my account.

There was no problem with my account- same billing & shipping address, same people on the account - NOT A CHANGE in 12 years. Took 45 minutes on the phone to try to find out how to 'avoid' this type of mistake in the future, but got nowhere with 'customer non-service'. I was told to put my online order through again, because they can't undo a cancellation. I wanted to cry. No. I will not put in the order again. You've lost my business for good.

Other online business try to improve by sending out customer surveys. I've never gotten one in the past 10 years of online purchasing with Macy's. Trying to talk to a 'manager' on the phone is an exercise in frustration.
