If you prefer not to have your order shipped, Macy’s offers convenient pickup options for eligible items.

  • Buy Online, Pick Up In‑Store – Place your order online and pick it up at a participating Macy’s store once it’s ready.

Availability varies by item and store. Pickup options will appear during checkout when eligible.

Macy’s uses a variety of shipping partners and delivery services to ensure your items arrive as efficiently as possible. The carrier used for your order depends on the selected shipping option, item size and weight, and delivery location. Our delivery partners include:

  • United Parcel Service (UPS)
  • United States Postal Service (USPS)
  • DoorDash® (used for Same‑Day Delivery orders)
  • Other regional carriers, including FedEx, Veho, LaserShip, OnTrac, DHL, and DoorDash Parcel services

 

Note: While many orders are delivered by UPS or USPS, Macy’s may use regional carriers when needed. Some carriers may use personal vehicles for delivery. Items fulfilled directly by third‑party sellers may be shipped using a different carrier.

After you place your order:

  • You’ll receive an order confirmation email with estimated shipment dates
  • Once your items ship, you’ll receive a shipping confirmation email with tracking details
  • You can view the latest updates anytime in Order History

Your items may ship separately if they’re fulfilled from different Macy’s locations. If this happens:
