Okay, so the other day I bought this perfume from Macy’s, right? Thought it was going to be my new go-to scent, but after wearing it a couple of times, I realized it just wasn’t for me. The smell was totally different on my skin than it was in the store. So, I started thinking, “Can I even return this thing?”
First, I dug out the receipt. I was still within that 30-day window they mentioned when I bought it. That was a relief! Then I went online to check Macy’s return policy. Their website made it seem pretty straightforward. It said they usually accept returns within 30 days. Plus, they apparently even extended it during the holiday season, which is pretty cool.
I also found out that if you bought something in-store, you gotta return it in-store. But if you bought something online, you can either mail it back or go to a store. I bought mine in a physical store, so I had to go back there.
Next, I made sure I had everything I needed: the perfume, of course, in its original box, and the receipt. I read somewhere online that even if you don’t have the receipt, they might be able to look up your purchase with some other info, like the credit card you used. But I didn’t want to risk it, so I made sure I had the receipt with me.
So, I went back to the Macy’s where I bought the perfume. I found a sales associate and explained the situation. I told her I wanted to return the perfume because I wasn’t happy with it. She was really nice about it.
She took the perfume and my receipt and did some magic on her computer. Then, she just said they will process my refund and it should be back on my card in a few days.
Here’s what I did, step-by-step:
- Found the receipt: Made sure I was within the 30-day return period.
- Checked Macy’s return policy online: Confirmed I could return opened perfume.
- Gathered everything: Perfume, original box, and receipt.
- Went to the store: Found a sales associate.
- Explained the situation: Told them I wanted to return the perfume.
- Processed the return: The sales associate handled everything.
So, yeah, it was way easier than I thought it would be. Just make sure you have your receipt and you’re within the return period, and you should be good to go.
Turns out, returning a perfume to Macy’s is totally doable, even if you’ve tried it. They were super understanding, and the whole process was quick and painless. I got my money back. No big deal!
