I ordered a $200 jacket from Neiman Marcus on sale for $150. I wanted the jacket by 12/3 for my birthday. I ordered it on 11/29 and paid the extra $15 for two day shipping to assure me it would be there for my birthday. Two days after ordering it I still had not received an email letting me know my item had been processed and was on the way. So I called customer service to attempt a refund for the two day shipping since at that point the item should have already been delivered. She processed the refund so I wasn't too disappointed even though the estimated delivery date had changed from 11/1 to 11/5 (after the date I wanted it for). Today (11/5) I received the "jacket I ordered" except it wasn't what I ordered at all. Not the same color and after taking a closer look it wasn't even the same brand. After seeing it was an H&M jacket I did my research and found that Neiman Marcus does not even carry H&M products in store nor online. This means someone in the warehouse who prepared my order, most likely took the H&M jacket off their back, took the Ksubi tag off the jacket I ordered and retied it to the collar of the H&M jacket I received. Meaning an employee basically stole my product that I paid for. After speaking on the phone with a SUPERVISOR (************) I was told I wouldn't be guaranteed a refund even if I sent the item back because the warehouse "had to confirm the item I sent back came from their warehouse". She was well aware of the fact that whoever reviewed my case would take one look at the jacket, see it's a brand they don't even carry and tell me they'd be unable to process my refund because "the jacket didn't come from them". So now I'm out of $150, I have a maybe $40 jacket from a brand that Neiman Marcus doesn't even carry and there's supposedly nothing that can be done. Absolutely garbage service all around. I'll dispute this charge with PayPal and if they refund me I'm keeping this jacket and never shopping at Neiman again. Incompetent pieces of trash.Business Response

I was not notified that the shoes will be returned back, therefore i did not expect a package. The store did not contact me back with this concern to let me know that i should be waiting for it. Plus, the shoes were in new condition, i tried them at home and retuned them because the heels were too high and uncomfortable.Business Response

I feel that this is wrong because the delivery drive just left it on my porch and it was stolen from me I honestly think this is wrong and apology doesn't suffice because I'm out of over $800 and it's like they don't care because the delivery driver just left it. It's wrong on so many levels.

I placd an order for a Burberry purse and shoes on 11/4/22 with order #WN20893331312. I was charged for the purse on 11/9/22 and it was delivered on 11/13/22. On 11/8/22, 11/12/22, and 11/14/22, I received email updates that there was a delay in shipping my Burberry shoes. On 11/17/22, I called and spoke with a customer srvice rep who stated my shoes would be delayed again until 11/21/22. She informed me that if I did not receive the shoes by 11/21/22, I could call back to cancel my order. On 11/21/22, I hadn't recieved the shoes so I called customer service again and was told they could only send a notification to the warehourse in NY but couldn't guarantee the cancellation of my order. On 11/27/22, I called customer service again asking to speak with a manager who stated she was going to escalate this issue and send another message to the warehouse to cancel my order. I called again on 11/30/22 and was told- "no messages could be sent to the warehouse", "that particular warehouse has been experiencing major delays in shipping with no estimated dates of items shipping," and "I should contact my credit card company about the funds on hold."Neiman Marcus has placed a hold on my credit card for $416.50 on 3 separate occasions- 11/14/22, 11/24/22 and 12/4/22. I no longer want the item and I no longer want to have a hold placed on my credit card for an item no on can guarantee I will ever receive. I had intentions to send the purse back as well but since it may go to the same warehouse that hasn't responded about the shoes, I can't guarantee they will receive or refund my money so I have begrudgingly kept the item. I wish to break all ties with Neiman Marcus at this point for their lack of follow through with delivering on a purchased item.Business Response

I ordered a pair of golden goose shoes on 11/12/22. As of today 12/2/22 I have not received the shoes nor can anyone at the call-center give me any information. The shoes have not been mailed off and you can not get any type of updates whatsoever from this company. In addition, they will not cancel the order due to the fact that it's in process but unfortunately, still sitting at the factory. All the call center can do is leave emails at the factory location which are not responded to whatsoever. There is no way to escalate concern whatsoever. Neiman Marcus has the poorest customer service I've ever seen.Business Response

I am extremely disappointed with the customer service and online ordering system of ******* Goodman. I purchased a pair of ******************* sneakers on (ORDER DATE: 2022-11-22/ORDER number WB5531026987) I placed the order on a second day express shipping for my up coming vacation only to find out that the item was on backorder via phone conversation with an agent , after the conversation I was reassured that the item was back in stock and would ship out right away . I received the item on 12/1/2022 2days before my vacation to find out that it was the wrong pair of sneakers place in the right box. This is the second time this has happened to me ordering from bergdorf goodman online. There's no real quality control and you don't know what to expect when ordering from them I demand a refund.Business Response

I ordered an item on Nov 21st and it is now Dec 1st and I have no update on the order. I have been calling the customer service line EVERY SINGLE DAY and I have no updates. I receive an email every day that my order will be "shipping tomorrow" and it has not even though I did shoprunner 2-day shipping. I have called every day to cancel this order and they tell me that the vendor denied my cancellation request, even though online it says that if the order is still in process you can cancel it. So apparently, I can't cancel my order, but after 11 days they wont ship it either? This is the absolute worst customer service experience, I just want to cancel this order and receive a full refund.Business Response

I placed an order at NM on November 2, 2022. I received the wrong pair of shoes in a janky box so I decided to return them. My return was then refused and NM said they would send the item back to me. This was decided on Nov 25. NM has not shipped back the return and I have not received a refund. Every time I contact customer service they ignore me when I bring up this issue and say that the package is in transit, when it is clearly not as per ******.

First of all I feel robbed. I placed an order with Neiman Marcus on Tuesday November 22. My order is worth $3,200. My order number is WN21001859083. I order 3 items and paid fast shipping for all of them. I was supposed to have received my items Friday November 25th. All my items said delivered, however, I did not received them!! I went outside to find no package!! I was confused and scared that all my items were left outside NO SIGNATURE REQUIRED. I cannot believe NM will not put a signature for my items that are extremely pricey. I called right away after and I was told not to worried that they will file a lost parcel claim and will contact me shortly. Fast forward to today Monday November 28th, I called NM because I have not heard anything regarding the claim. What is most upsetting is that they claim they sent me an email on Saturday November 26th letting me know my claim was denied. I DID not receive such email on the 26th. Do you really think, I will ********** home waiting to hear back with faith of a resolution knowing my claim has been denied??? Who in their right mind would just be like , okay I lost $3,000 but that's alright! Let me tell you nobody would. The fact that this matter was not looked into and the claim was denied right away, tells me how little you care about customers! I am requesting a full refund, I feel like I was taken advantage of and NM is just washing their hands! Put signature on packages! I need a resolution as soon as possible!!Customer Answer

I have spoke to NM multiple times and they keep denying my claim, saying the will not refund me and that ***** is the one that has to pay up, for them to pay me. I have submitted pictures of the front of my house and the picture ***** took do not look the front of my house, no same color pebbles or carpet in the from, the gate in the front is standard and houses around me have the same color gate too!! The fact that they did not require a signature because my account is in "good standing" so you are good customer and because of that they cannot help you??
