To whom it may concern:
The purpose of this note is to find a viable resolution to a problem created by Macy’s.
My wife and I have been Macy’s customers for decades, as we have always known it to be a reputable and prestigious company that stands behind their quality and services.
On 11/22/2023 we bought a mattress set from you, scheduled to be delivered today on 12/02/2023. The shipment appeared to be on schedule until today we received notice the shipment had been cancelled.
The statement on your order confirmation email says it all:
“Thanks for selecting Macy’s for your home furnishing needs! We recognize you have many choices and are honored to have earned your business and your trust. We’ll provide you with the service and respect you deserve because you are a valued customer of Macy’s!”
On one hand, I do understand that things do happen during production and delivery in today’s world.
On the other hand, I don’t understand how insulting it is for a company your size to offer $54.44 to compensate for this major inconvenience. Especially in today’s economy.
We no longer have any mattresses to sleep on for the next 7 days! (Providing we don’t receive another future delivery day). Whoever reads this should understand that a mattress is not something anyone can easily substitute for any particular period.
I am under the current care of an Orthopedic Specialist, awaiting an MRI to determine treatment for an injury I recently sustained, so sleeping on the cold floor is not something I expected to experience, and that’s why we would never expect any significant failure, such as the current one from Macy’s vendors.
I realize things happen, but I also realize that compensation should be granted given the extreme inconvenience caused by your company.
25% discount is more than reasonable. Yet my request was declined. Whenever we are late with our payments a late fee is assessed, to compensate. By the same token I propose the low 25% discount be taken into serious consideration for all the trouble.
Respectfully,
