I have NEVER EVER in my life had an experience like I had today. It was the WORST customer service I have EVER had in my life. I will NEVER go back there again. And if I could emphasize NEVER in bigger letters and caps, I would, cause I mean NEVER. Here is what happened:
So I have never been that fond of Macy's to begin with. For some reason I feel like every time I go there, stuff just isn't organized in a way that flows. It's like you have to be in the mood to dig for what you want. Sure they have great sales, but the customer service to me is worth the extra cash.
I had this gift card for over a year. I got it for graduation, and I can never find anything I like, and I always just end up at different places. So when I walked past the store, and saw a dress I just HAD to have, I went in, tried it on, and since it looked just as good on me, as it did the hanger, I bought it!! Half with the gift card, and the other half on my credit card.
Since I was so in love with the dress, I was gushing about it to my Mother who wanted a picture. So, me being resourceful, got online to find it and send a picture. TA DA, it's ON SALE!!! Since it had been less than 10 days, I went to the store on my lunch break to get a price adjustment. I called ahead even to make sure they did adjustments, and the lady said "If it's been w/in 10 days, and you have the receipt, it's not a problem" Perfect!
When I walk in I go up to the counter, tell the lady (Nancy) that I needed a price adjustment. She was friendly enough UNTIL...on her computer the dress was still the original price that I paid, and she said that sometimes the online price is different than the instore price. WHAT!?! It's the SAME DRESS!! and apparently since it's online and Macy's.com is NOT the same thing as Macy's the store, they wouldn't do anything. WTF Lady, not the day to mess with me. I pulled out my "customer is always right attitude" and asked to speak with a manager. This is just ridiculous.
What major department store has a website that is not connected with the actual store. After waiting, 15 minutes, YES, 15 minutes for a manager, she said that she would accomodate me just this one time. After all of this it's been like 30 minutes for a stupid price adjustment :(
Then since I used a gift card for half, they wanted to split the measly $30, and put $15 on a gift card, and $15 on my credit card. WTF?!?! If I took a YEAR to spend the $50 gift card, why would I want another gift card that had $15 on it!!! I was livid. I demanded that I didnt want in store credit, or gift card, and that I either wanted cash, or all of it back on my credit card. The lady looked at me and said "fine" with a deadly look that could have killed my cat.
UGH. I will never be back, and I hope NO ONE goes back there. Pay the extra $30 and go to Nordstrom where they know what good customer service is. I think it is ridiculous that their website and store are seperate entities. Seriously Macy's you are NATIONWIDE. Get with the program, and be like ALLL the other major department stores, and be the same. I have never been so irratated in my LIFE!!! read more
