The newer Macy's at Randhurst Village is a welcome addition to the area, a brick-and-mortar department store that brings convenience back to local shopping. While it's smaller in scale compared to other locations, it still offers a variety of departments, including clothing, handbags, shoes, cosmetics, toys, and more.
What really stood out to me is the presence of a dedicated customer service department right at the front entrance. This is in contrast to Macy's at Old Orchard, which has recently eliminated its centralized customer service desk. At Old Orchard, returns are now handled by associates scattered across different departments, which can be less efficient.
Despite its smaller footprint, Randhurst's Macy's seems designed with convenience in mind, especially for returns. I've found it incredibly easy and efficient to return items here. Since I now order about 90% of my Macy's clothing, handbags, and cosmetics online (due to the wider selection available on the website), having a nearby, hassle-free return location is a huge plus. I no longer need to make the longer trip to Old Orchard just to return something.
That said, Old Orchard remains the better option for in-person shopping because of its broader selection. Still, I was pleasantly surprised to find a pair of sneakers at the Randhurst location that worked perfectly for me. read more
