What if my delivered order is damaged, broken, or defective?
Gift Registry Returns
How refunds are received
  • You have proof of purchase: If you have your original receipt, the credit card you used to purchase, your return label or packing slip, you will get a refund in the original form of payment
  • It was a gift: If you have a gift receipt, a return label or a bridal registry number, you will get a refund in the form of a store credit
  • You don't have proof of purchase: You may still be eligible for store credit for the item's lowest selling price within the last 180 days


Store credit may be issued as an EZ Exchange Card (can be used like a Macy's Gift Card online or in-store) or Merchandise Certificate (can be used in-store only).

We will credit your account(s) within 10 business days of receiving your return. It may take several days to post activity to your account. For purchases made with multiple forms of payment, your credit accounts will be refunded the amount originally charged and the remaining amount may be issued in the form of a Macy's Happy Returns card or a Merchandise Only Certificate mailed to your billing address in approximately 2–4 weeks.


Can I return items from a Buy One Get One (BOGO) offer?

Yes, but your refund amount for each item will be proportionally reduced.   When you purchase items as a Buy One Get One offer, the discount reflecting the price of the lowest-priced item is proportionally applied to each eligible item. If any item is returned, the refund will be equal to the original price of the item reduced by the proportional discounted amount.


Here are some examples:

  • Buy One, Get One Free: If your qualifying items are $30 and $20, the discount will be $20 and spread proportionally across both items. The $30 item will be reduced by $12 and the $20 item will be reduced by $8. The original $30 item will result in a refund of $18 and the original $20 item will result in a refund of $12.
  • Buy One, Get One 50% Off: If your qualifying items are $30 and $20, the discount will be $10 and will be spread proportionally across both items. The $30 item will be reduced by $6 and the $20 item will be reduced by $4. The original $30 item will result in a refund of $24 and the original $20 item will result in a refund of $16.
