Meh. My experiences here are lukewarm, albeit limited sample. The best thing I can say about this place is that you can order something from Macy's online and pick it up at the store, or return something here if you don't want to send it back to Macy's by mail. That said, last time I returned something, I got this seemingly cock-and-bull story about how they could only credit it back on a Macy's gift card despite me having the receipt. On the way out, I got accosted by a perfume saleswoman who kept pushing some Hugo Boss scent on me no matter how many times I said i wasn't interested. There's a need for department stores, and I'm glad Macy's in the area, but their service leaves something to be desired. read more

Convenient location for Metro riders. Attempting to drive here is a mistake unless you choose super offbeat hours. This location is usually stocked well and neat, but lines can be an issue when wanting to pop in and buy. Don't expect much from sales associates esp. in women's clothes and purse departments; home wares and lingerie departments are a bit better. Ladies, in the women's shoe department the service is hit or miss. There are days when you get you will get great customer service like I did on my last visit with Quentin (Quincy?) or you will find no one or at least 2-3 employees whizzing by you without a look in your direction or a hello. Sales are plentiful! One day super blockbuster sales every day (exaggeration, but almost true.) I bumped this review up to a 3.5 because they have pretty cool retail events here. I always bump into an awesome DJ and most of the makeup counters have great staff that are courteous and helpful. MAC is MAC, LOL. Glad they are there too :) read more

Macy's - Jammin with DJ Glam1! - Department Stores Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Just finished shopping at Macy's in Bethesda democracy Boulevard. My check out Assistant was Nesrem. She was very professional and personable. I did not have my Macys card with me and she helped me through the process, and informed me of the different sales going on, and which one of my coupons would be more beneficial to use. My interaction with Nesrem was lovely and I think she is an asset to your company. Way to go Macys. read more

No department will pick up their phone, so I cannot shop here. Extremely disappointing because I need to purchase something the store MIGHT have but I can't make the trip all the way to the store just to find out they don't have it, which is why I tried to call for a half hour but no department would answer. read more

I am usually a fan of Macy's and find pretty good deals there. Unfortunately, this is the case at other locations or online -- not at this location. I only come to the downtown location if absolutely necessary or if I'm in the area and again, if it is absolutely necessary. The departments are messy, and it's hard to find anything. The "last chance" sections at the back of the store floors are a disaster and make you want to avoid the whole area. When you ask anyone for help, they either A) have attitude/don't care about helping or B) give you attention but don't know the answer to simple questions in their own store ('i.e. where is the pajama section?'). What a shame for the brand - avoid if possible. read more

I was in desperate need of some dress shoes for an upcoming gala; they were my last option of hope. Macy's had always been a staple to me but this location is a true disappointment. The customer service was dire, literally, with lines to try on shoes and employees doing nothing but standing around or outright ignoring us my experience here was horrible. read more

Well located! You can't get much more convenient if you ride Metro. The selection and service here were both good. The store was clean. read more

they dont answer the calls at alllllllllllllllllllll no departments care about youuuu read more

This is horrible experience. I bought online two feather comforters for $127.89 during the Thanksgiving time. But I found that the exact same product only costs $39.99 per comforter in kohls. So I returned Macys comforters without opening the package in a couple of days after I received them. I also got acknowledgment from Macys for receiving the returned package. I was supposed to get refund in a few days. However, I still have not got refund yet. Today I found that there is a package at my door from Mac'y's, in which are two comforters. I was shocked. I immediately called Macy's and asked the refund status and why I got the new package. I was told by a rep that the comforters I returned were heavily used and dirty. I couldn't believe my ear and I was shocked. How could they tell such a lie to a customer unless they sold me used ones. I am angry for that. read more

I purchaed something on used code Cyber on the website. I went to pay by paypal and it took off the promo code. I called and after an hour on the phone, I was told they could not refund me for the promo code for 5 days after item has shipped. I requested an email to that effect and was told they cannot do that. They checked the order on the web and see I used promo code cyber and that the promo discount was removed once order was placed. This is just the worst company ever by not updating the amount to be charged. I am suppose to get a call back on 12/1, but I do not beleive that will happen. I will have to take time out of my day and go to the store and fight this on 12/2. This is not how Macys should treat their customers. If their website is not working then they need to take it offline and fix it period. read more

This place consistently lets me down. In my zealousness to place my pick-up order I picked this store because it's walking distance from work. I will have to forgo that in the future. The line was ridiculously long and moved incredibly slow, like the woman behind the counter. When I got to the counter, I was determined to be pleasant because anyone can have a bad day. That woman had THE WORST attitude. She was just unpleasant. Hi said hello and how are you today, you know, like I was waiting on her. No smile, no response. So I repeated myself and she murmured fine. I held out my barcode and she scanned it and asked for ID. Not everyone works well with people and Melody does not work well with people. Lol she put this huge box on the table. I asked, May I have a bag. We don't have bags that big but if you take it out that box I have something. Fine melody. May I have a receipt. It should be in the box. Check for it. The good news is Melody makes me appreciate good customer service. The bad news is she wasn't it. Lol read more

Macy's - My mugs - Department Stores Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I received excellent service in the men's shoe department from Ronald. He was terrific and made sure I was a happy customer, and it was much appreciated! I also like this store's location - you can get there straight from the Metro at Metro Center - which I like. I was also glad Macy's carried men's dress shoes that were not made out of leather. read more

After lunch at Oya yesterday I spotted this Macy's. Truth be known I went in mostly wanting a little air conditioning. Then I remembered the American Express gift card I had leftover from my birthday and my mind wandered to lipstick. However, when I caught a glimpse of my beet-red-from-the-heat face in the mirror I decided to peruse the menswear first. After making a couple of purchases for my favorite Washingtonian I went to the MAC counter. A lovely gal named Latoya helped me choose a couple of lipsticks and a gloss. "You have cute lips," she said, "Small, but full, like Scarlett Johansson's!" Somehow I think Latoya must be doing quite well if she works on commission! read more

Two and a half stars. Overpriced shoes with only 2-3 cute styles, and a lot of fashion items function less valued than aesthetic. I don't know, maybe I'm in the minority in finding an excess of exposed zipper rosettes to be gauche. They didn't have the wristlets we were looking for (I was looking to see how far I could downsize on a night out), but managed to find a studded ruffle clutch that was suitable for going out. I need to stop buying things in charcoal grey, but today is not that day. Floor staff was on the aloof side. The friendly girl at the register was chatty when she saw our F21 bags, and didn't mind talking about other stores' newest sales. read more

I came into Macy's to purchase a few Christmas gifts. First off, it was hard finding a Sales Associate to assist me with men's cologne. So I walked around and met Brenda. I asked her if she could assist me. Her demeanor was cold and as if, I was burdening her. Whenever I've purchased items in any store, I've always encountered Sales Associates, who were warm while assisting me. She showed me a few colognes, barely telling me the names of the scents I was smelling. The only time she engaged with me was asking the male's age. Her focus was on two other women. I don't know if she felt, I had no interest in making a purchase or what, but I politely asked her if she plans on truly assisting me or not. She tells me she was helping someone else and chose to help me which explains her interest in the two women behind me with another associate. She could've said in the beginning she was assisting them and she would be with her afterwards or would get someone to assist me. She was very unprofessional and kept looking me up and down as if she was judging my appearance. In the end, I chose not to deal with her any further and had someone else assist with my purchases and left read more

Easily the worst Macy's I've ever had the displeasure of visiting (and unfortunately, this is my closest location, so I've been here several times), and who hasn't been to a bunch of different Macy's? Save yourself the trouble and just go to the Macy's at the Pentagon City Fashion Center and you'll be much happier. The problems here are myriad but chief among them is poor customer service. There are a few folks who seem helpful but there's a general sense of angst among employees. Couple this with employees who genuinely seem lost and/or confused, and you get the the sense that they're not getting the training and support they need. The bottom floor is a mess in terms of organization and the men's section isn't very navigable, either. And I've found that they rarely stock things in my size (a very common size!) so I usually end up ordering online or visiting the aforementioned Fashion Center location. Basically, this is only convenient because of proximity to Metro, so it's a decent spot to use the bathroom if needed. read more

Shopping at this store is a lot like visiting your somewhat troublesome in-laws - it's an obligation you must attend to strictly out of necessity, but with enough effort, you can hope to get something positive out of the experience. (Mind you, you may not always get exactly what you wanted, but if you try hard enough, this Macy's can offer at least SOME positive take away.) Even during the best of times though, this little "family" isn't pulled together. The store's stock is variable, the staffing numbers are well-below what you've come to expect of Macy's, and the general disorganization can be overwhelming at times. Worst of all, bathrooms are few and far between and then old and gross when you are lucky enough to find one. The good news? At least this store is available in a convenient location that would otherwise be void of general department stores. Sadly, I guess I'm still glad to at least have a Macy's around to visit. Like with troublesome in-laws, a dysfunctional family is still family. read more

Bottom Line: Run of the mill Macy's across the street from the Metro Center metro stop. Overall, I find this store to be your typical Macy's. They have some nicer brands but the store is a bit packed/cluttered so you have to really dig to find the higher quality items. The nice thing is that this store is right across from the Metro Center metro stop. read more

At the risk of enraging some previous reviewers who apparently hate this place, I have to say I don't even usually review stores (am more of a food gal)...but I have to say that we spent some time here this December, and it was a positive experience for several reasons: 1) Helpful and friendly employees! especially on the street level. Went through the check-out twice, as I went from deciding to buy a hat, to buying matching gloves as well. With helpful discounts, they were at a ho ho holiday savings that made me quite happy and feeling toasty warm. Especially loved that they were able to cut off the tags from my purchases so I could wear them. That being said, we skipped upstairs to try and make Husband as happy with a new hat, and well, that wasn't as easy. Warm hats without logos weren't as prevalent, and after convincing him to get one anyway, the otherwise friendly gal at checkout didn't have scissors to cut away his tag, as they had downstairs. Overall, this store was full of holiday charm, excellent savings, and helpful employees. Enough so that I have now written a review that is not for food! read more

At any given time, the escalators will be out. There are 4 floors plus the the basement, so it is an inconvenience if their main goal is to get us to spend money. And the elevators are super slow. Management also seems to like to try new things all the time because there's constant 'construction' going on. The only good things about this Macy's is the location and the many entrance/exit access. read more

super customer service from Donette in furniture, who helped take the stress out of our purchases. and shoutout as well to general store manager Chantelle, who runs a great ship! read more

This Macy's has, bar none, the best shoe department in any department store ever. Sure, the selection probably ebbs and flows, but the staff is attentive, eager to please, and knows their stock. It's also CONNECTED TO THE METRO. Um. Hello convenience. And the bathroom is surprisingly clean and easy to get to. read more

The store selection isn't bad but the customer service is horrible. The lady who checked me out was very rude and impatient. Additionally, she provided me with misinformation (I'm fairly certain on purpose) and she left the sensor on my item. The two stars is for the OK selection and the other two associates who were fairly helpful. read more

This is an update to my original post. So, apparently, there must be some automated monitor that picks up on these reviews, because after I wrote my original review, I received this email: "Dear Ms. Jones, Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback regarding your recent shopping experience. As the Store Manager, customer feedback is the best tool I have in determining our strengths and opportunities as a store. It is my expectation that every customer have an outstanding experience on every visit. I am sorry we did not live up to that expectation. I would like the opportunity to speak with you directly to understand and address your concerns. Is there a number I can reach you at? Thanks again for taking the time to provide feedback. I realize you have many choices of where to shop and appreciate that you chose Macy's. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, John John Smith VP - Store Manager Metro Center, Downtown D.C. | Macy's, Inc. 1201 G St. NW | Washington, DC 20005 Office: 202-628-6661 x200" Now we all know John Smith is a very generic name. Immediately red flags went up for me. And please note this man's title. I said I'd call their bluff & contact him. When I tried calling the number back, the automated voice said the extension was invalid. I dont understand the point of their email like I wasnt going to make a comment about it om YELP. I am STILL going to use the Metro exit to avoid their goofy security guard. read more

i ordered a pair of white Ultraboost with black soles in size 13 .. They were on sale for 105 dollar. After four days had past and I had not received my shoes I called customer service. The customer service rep said the size I ordered wasn't in stock in any location but they are trying to find it. I asked why then was it listed as available online. The rep said because it's available somewhere in the company.Two days later finish line canceled my order and I don't get my shoes. No sorry from finish line or anything. Do not do business with finish line!!!! read more

If you live in DC no choice....this is the only one in the district. Always find great selection...What really got me was when I was looking/admiring a jacket by the window display On G street. THis got me !!!! (image attached) Soon as I saw this I just turned , look around, walked faster and got out of this location. I WILL drive out of Dc for another MACY's location. read more

I have to say this isn't my all time favorite Macys. The stock is often mixed, sometimes you find decent things on sale, but there's also a lot of crap. I think the buyers need to up their game and also remerchandize. Customer service is hit or miss. Once I had a coupon for a free sample perfume and the lady looked at me like I was crazy because despite the fact that it was a Macys coupon, they never get samples (or so she said). I had a successful shoe purchase once with the help of a nice young man. He used my Macys money for a smooth transaction. Another time I returned a few dresses and the lady had no idea how to do multiple returns in one transaction. She even rang up one as a sale and only after five tries realized what she had done. I did have a positive wedding registry experience. The young lady who helped us was kind, knowledgeable, and friendly. The home and housewares stock may need some upgrades but overall I enjoyed the experience and would return for registry tips and assistance. read more

I went in to check the price of a soft-handled can openier. There are at least 2 brands, OXO and another one. NONE of the OXO items had prices on the package or on shelf signs, so you have to scan EVERYTHING. There is an entire wall of OXO products. This is frustrating, I don't know if it is the case at every Macy's, I don't usually buy housewares at Macys. But it was annoying because the price scanner is in a different section of housewares so it is inconvenient to scan everything. The cashier confirmed this was the case, either she could scan the price for me or I would have to walk over to the scanner and do it myself. Even things that are clearance aren't consistently marked down on the package. The price will scan correctly but you won't know the true price until you scan it. Inconvenient. On the lower level above the escalator to the subway the ceilings are falling apart and have large holes in them. It looks dangerous. Hopefully they are doing repairs, but they weren't at the time. There is an elevator near the hr/escalator to subway, but hard to find if you aren't going to the subway. It is in the backstage section. read more

The best part about this Macy's is the location and the fact you can get to it right from Metro Center. It's great for those of us who are car-less and depend on Metro to lug home purchases. However, this Macy's lacks in customer service and selection in some of the departments. I've come in contact with several unfriendly and unhelpful employees here which makes shopping here annoying. But...but...you can order online and pick up in store! Avoid the unfriendly employees! read more

I wish every Macy's was created equal... but I should know better than that. So when I approach the Levi's section in the ladies dept... I should know that having more then 2 pair of jeans is asking for a lot.. or when I go to the shoe section it's only a section on the 1st floor, not the whole floor. So most likely not where I should go to shop. read more

So convenient , Amazing deals . Oh Macy's I love the spring collection and the new sandal's are very affordable. I don't usually shop at Macy's but I think that's about to change and probably I'm about to start doing my shopping here . I really like the prices so affordable and the material is very long lasting . Typically the lines for checkout are kind of long but honestly is so worth it. read more

Horrible! Nasty and dirty shoe area. However my friend had sore feet from walking so she wanted a pair of shoes. We had a lady wait on us but then she disappeared into the back. When I said 'hello' after waiting at the counter for 10 minutes, a rude woman told me that she would get with me. I asked when and she told me as soon as she's looking for shoes. She was only waiting on us. Total BS. I said screw this attitude and walked out. Macy's sucks in DC. read more

Macy's as a department store is just OK, and this one is like most Macy's. The convenient location is perfect for those of us who depend on public transportation, and I love the access point from Metro Center! As other reviewers have mentioned, customer service pretty much lacks. I just came in to buy a purse that I had been stalking online. It was 50% off, and there was an additional 20% off coupon that week. Perfect! A $90 purse for $35 is always good. When I found the purse, I couldn't find a cashier. Ugh! I did finally find someone, but she was clearly not excited to be helping someone. I really try to buy all of my clothes from Goodwill because I can't afford the brands I like to buy, so it's unlikely I will come here for clothes. However, I would come here if I needed a department store. read more

I visited Macy's DC furniture dept 3 weeks ago as I was looking for a leather sleeper sofa and there were just 2 ( not leather) I was told more would be arriving in 2-3 weeks. Two days ago I decided to stop by Macy's furniture dept. again. No sales person was present in that dept. I waited ca 15 minutes before leaving. This afternoon I called Macy's and asked for the furniture dept. I was on the phone for some time and finally a recording said there was no answer. I called again twice later today with same results. Macy's downtown some time ago had helpful and friendly associates. Not any longer.! They don't speak with customers at all. If you ask them something, you feel as though you are an inconvenience to them. So, Macy's downtown in my read more

I only go to this Macy's because it is close to my place of employment. It's always crowded as it is in downtown dc. This might just be the only Macy's in the entire District. So I use this Macy's to process my online returns. Like I truly don't care for this Macy's...however, when combined with Macy's online I buy a lot of stuff prior then I simply pick it up in store. Customer service here is seriously lacking. I only received optimal customer service in the Men's department and in the Dress section. I've come into contact with younger employees who just didn't care...combative stating that they wouldn't process a return with tags attached and receipt. I then proceeded to walk away. Found a older female on the same floor who was willing to process the return and she wasn't a manager. I know this because I felt like the young empolyee was being difficult and she just didn't like her job and I asked the older female for an manager... So overall, it's some good and some bad apples. Tip: when exiting the elevator the main floor i.e.: street exit is the one labeled 2 floor. The 1 floor is the basement which is bedding and cookware. read more

I really wasn't impressed by this store and felt very much like Karen Walker as I suffered through... KAREN: Sorry we're late, Jackie. Rosie took me shopping. I've never been to a bodega in Spanish Harlem before... ROSARIO: That was Macy's. KAREN: "Macy's." Hear me? I'm speakin' Spanish. The store felt completely disorganized with designer crap overflowing into even crappier designer crap. I felt boxed in while making my way through the men's department - there was no flow. Oh, and I just love being half naked in a dressing room with Macy*s ladies yelling about and trying to figure out if they are talking to me or each other. NO I'M NOT STEALING *trips over self and falls to the floor with pants wrapped around cankles* The store itself could use a makeover and some of the staff could use a professionalism brush up. read more

Fuck this Macy's. I bought a jacket. Salesperson rung it up and asked if I wanted a bag. Well, "of course, I want a bag." I said. I didn't want to walk outta the store looking like I ripped something off. Apparently there's a tax in D.C. that they charge for "bag usage" at Macy's. I was unaware of this tax. So I got back to my hotel room and looked at my receipt. This Macy's charges 5 cents for a fucking plastic bag!!!! 5 fuckin cents FOR a bag people! Granted it's 5 fuckin cents this really pissed me off, especially by a major retailer such as Macy's. I don't know what pissed me off more, that the salesperson didn't inform me that they charge for bags. (Which, in retrospect, is why she asked me if I wanted one.) Or that I was being taken for a nickel. Salesperson could've just said "we charge a nickel for a bag would you like one?" Well, hell NO. I'll carry it out in my hands, I'm just walking across the street. Shame on you Macy's and your bullshit "bag" tax! read more
