Macy's Cancelled My Online Order Because Of Nigeria's Dented Image by ebimila: 11:18am On Nov 21, 2014 |
So sad!!! i ordered for some stuff from MACY's website (brand with chain of department stores in the US) and made payment using my NAIRA MASTERCARD using a relative address as my shipping and billing address. i got an alert for the debit charge and then attempted to track the order. Alas! i discovered within a short time after the transaction the order was cancelled. And then i discovered an email had been sent to me notifying of the cancellation and requesting i contacted their customer care line. So i went ahead to call the number just to inquire why the order was cancelled. Now this is funny part. She goes on to ask the billing address and i tell her its a relative but i used my card from naija because they dont have Nigeria listed among the countries they ship to internationally. She requests for a little time to make inquiries. Gues what? She returns with that thank you for interest in Macy's blah blah blah speech and then caps it up saying unfortunately they no longer do business with that region (Nigeria) now and in the future According to Gordons, i chock!!! I mean i know the country image is been battered by the day with the atrocities of our YAHOOZEE brodas but didn't think it is so bad. What could i have done but to say NO PROBLEM in between all her fake apologies. The solution here is probably buy locally, get someone over there to buy and pay online for you or wait till you travel to shop if dem go give you visa ooo. |

Hahaha...save the sob stories for yourself and self-deceiving Nigerians! You people in Nigeria have been hiding under a rock since forever, refusing to wake up to the reality that no one else is fooled but yourselves! Foreigners know more about the truth of the situation in Nigeria than Nigerians will ever admit and will act on that, whether you like it or not. A Nigeria in which the EFCC is dead, Police dead, Army, Airforce corrupted so badly they cannot win a mere cage fight with BH in a small part of Nigeria, SSS now has the job of not protecting the state but Jonadumbdumb's blind power grab shutting down the National Assembly, you think the world is not paying attention? If your TAN lies are so true, then spend your money in Nigeria, we do not need it here! Your economy is now 510 B thanks to TAN lies, unemployment rate is 1%, etc, why not buy locally? Forget visa, we will not be giving visa to you Nigerians anymore - we want you to thoroughly enjoy the paradise and fresh air of retardinhoGEJ! 4 Likes |

Abegi spare us this trash. At the above comments please keep enjoying while it last. Check ur history very well and ll discover that what Nigeria is going through now at the hands of the western media is nothing compared to what they used to churn out about China. Fast forward to today, they are going cap in hand begging the same China to do business with them. 1 Like 1 Share |

Its simple. Those guys don't need Ur money so why can't u buy from Nigerian countries? We keep complaining abt other countries' perception of us without striving to make ours better. Mchteew |

omenka: i forgot to mention that it has been refunded sort of. When i checked via atm it reflected in Ledger balance but not available balance. i made the transaction last night so i guess i have to wait a while. Besides i am told that usually the debit hits your account, more like holding that portion for your transaction pending confirmation and if it sails through, they get credited. But if the transaction does not sail through, the funds are released but it takes a little time. |

Sloan: Thanks dear. But why do you sound so frustrated ? Sharing my experience doesnt warrant your rantings. Fine! Things have gone round over the years but shouldnt we aspire for a change? Mind you, not all Nigerians are fraudsters or sportsmen who jump gates instead of bars in the stadiums. 2 Likes |

ebimila: Frustrated? You must be blind or unable to read! Am I the one who so desperately needs to buy something online and goes through all the trouble of getting a Naira Mastercard (with ridiculous, gouging Naira - USD exchange rates), then coerces a relative into allowing his/her home address as destination address, yet the store has no refused to do business with you TANoid, and you still don't know who is frustrated? I think your cluelessness stinks so badly, Macy will not touch you even with your $1 Transaction! Anyways, if and whenever I need to order something, I will either walk into the store or have it shipped to my house without worrying about some stoopid naira MasterCard. |

ebimila:Op agreed the atrocity of the yahoo boys caused it but the incompetence of Jonathan with the rising rate of corruption in his government with no check is going to be complicating issue more on the international scene. |

your use of words shows how mannerless you are. Even pips abroad shop online so is it an offence? if you found the post so irritating why comment in the first place? You could have just ignored it. Or perhaps you want to use the opportunity to tell us that you reside in the US. Good for you, message passed. Any more to share? Sloan: |

Some eCommerce stores don't ship to Nigeria period, don't make a big deal about it. Find one willing to ship to Nigeria. 2 Likes |

manny4life: its also any company's choice not to ship to nigeria, or not to accept credit cards that differ from the shipping and billing address. until they start doing so, use companies that do not have those restrictions. jumia, konga, alibaba ,etc, are all in the nigerian market and their merchandise also compares with most of what obtains overseas. 1 Like |
