On December 13th I ordred on Macy.com a $75.00 gift card for my niece as an extra Christmas gift. The order was confirmed and charged to my credit card. I called my niece and asked if she received anything and she said no. I called customer service on December 22nd and they checked and after being on hold for 45 minutes they said the card had been used on December 20th in there Hearld Square Store, in New York. My niece lives over 300 miles from this store. The card was taken by some employee of Macy's it never left the store. I called they said a new gift card would immediately be sent. Well guess what after another call on December 28th customer service said then working days. Called again on January 7th and still no card was sent. They are acting like I'm some thief when I'm out the money my niece has no gift card but one of their own employees got some merchanise. Very unhappy about this run around.

Went to Macy's (Kaneohe, HI) on Monday 12/27 @530pm HST. Looked at a purse that I was interested in purchasing. Proceeded to take the purse up to the register for purchase when the sales associate stated (while combing her hair w/her fingers) "oh...that person can help you". The person that she was referring too was busy organizing other merchandise in the area. The second sales associate made her way to the register to assist me w/my purchase. Upon looking at the handbag that I wanted we discovered there was no UPC code or tag. She proceeded to walk to the jewlery counter to ask another associate for help finding the UPC. They both could not find it and stated that other stores on the island were not answering their phones or were too busy and would call us back. During the 10 minutes that were used to walk over to the jewlery counter and supposedly call I did not see either one of them pick up a phone. I was then told that they would put the bag on hold and contact me by the end of the night w/the price.

So I gave them my contact information and waited for their call. As Monday evening and night went on I began to get perturbed because no one had called (after all how difficult was it to contact another store to get a simple piece of information - there are 4 other stores on the island).

Tuesday came and throughout the whole day still nothing. Wednesday comes and still nothing by 3:00 in the afternoon. I was frustrated. I really liked the bag and it was the last one of its kind on the shelf (at this particular store). I called the store and was told that they did not have anything on hold...boy was I mad. I decided to go down there and saw the same initial sales associate that was combing her hair w/her fingers. I asked if she could help me and she said sure. Once I began telling her about what I needed she said "wait, I"ll get someone". The associate she was talking about was rearranging merchandise in the handbag area. This lady was VERY nice (and I was really really mad) I explained to her what happened and what I wanted. She went to the back to check and FOUND my item!! I was told that my item was not there over the phone...WTH!! Anyhow she looked at the tag w/my request for price, UPC, etc. on it and no one had called to follow up!!! She apologized and proceeded to contact another store. In less than 5 MINUTES she received and answer!! She typed up a tag w/the price and UPC info and assisted me with check out.

How could she get the info in less than 5 minutes while the other people couldn't get it...did they even try?!?! Maybe not since I didn't get any call back. What happened if I didn't follow up...would they have reshelved the product, who knows! Hopefully someone will see this and fix their customer service at this particular store!!

Ordered Macys Gift Card for niece on December 13, 2010 waited until December 22nd and still no gift card. Called Macys Customer Service they informed me the card had already been used in their Hearld Square store on December 20th. This could not be my niece who lives 300 or more miles from this store. Customer Service would not let me speak to supervisor but lady said new gift card would be mailed that day.She also would not tell me where gift card had been mailed. Well December 28th and no card called again and they said ten business days. This time she let it slip and said the gift card had been mailed from the Hearld Square store, where it had been used, very interesting. I emailed complaint on Macys.com and got another phone number to call. On January 7th called got a very nice lady, not same place I had been calling, she said I had to wait ten business days i have waited over ten business days. Still no gift card has been mailed out. Lady was trying to help but they were giving her the runaround. This gift card was for $75.00 Macys is acting like I'm some sort of thief when they have the real thieves are working in their own stores. I paid off my credit card for this card and will never do business again with such a bad company that cannot handle their own employees who steal and lie.

I do not plan on making ANY more purchases at Macys. We bought an item and let the sales associate talk us in to getting their card. We sent the payment on time, but they neglected to post it on time. We then were charged interest plus a $25 late fee without even knowing it- all the while thinking we had a $0 balance. We then got another $25 late fee for not paying the last $25 late fee. We now owe $58 on something that was paid in full!! And if you are wondering- we have perfect credit and have not had any problems with any other card.

I owed $75 to Macy's on a revolving account that was due 10/4. I received a series of phone calls beginning around 10/8 that became daily until 10/18 about this past due bill. I could not understand the persons calling, nor could my husband when he took the call. Federal law requires a meaningful disclosure from the debt collector which I was not given, because the person spoke little English. I considered the calls harassing when I had never received so much as a 30-day late notice. This pro-active debt collection practice using staff who cannot speak Enlish puts Macy's at risk of violating federal debt collection practices.
