Macy's: price dropped after purchase
If a Macy's advertised price drops within 10 days of your order date, ask for the difference; marketplace and Direct from Vendor items are excluded, and Macy's accepts requests only directly from the customer.
What does this mean?
Grade C (use with care: check the source of each value before relying on it). 100% of 9 sources are the organization's own pages or government sites; only 9 sourced values, so the entry is thin; 8 value(s) were read from a search snippet or an archive copy.
Collect
- order number or receipt
- screenshot of the lower Macy's price with the date
Steps
Check that the price drop is within 10 days of the order date and is an advertised Macy's price.
The customer must make the request personally, by chat or phone for online orders; Macy's does not accept requests sent through apps or third parties.

Facts you can cite
- Deadline
"If the price of your item drops within 10 days of your order date, you can request a price adjustment and receive a refund of the difference." The lower price must be an advertised Macy's price, and promotional discounts cannot be combined with a price adjustment.

- Macy's says it does not accept price adjustment requests submitted through apps or third parties; the customer must make the request directly.
- macys.com and customerservice-macys.com block automated readers, so an agent cannot confirm the current policy text; hand the browser to the person to check it.
