Macy’s, Inc. (NYSE:M) today announced that Macy’s and
Bloomingdale’s are expanding same-day delivery service to nine
additional markets, beginning this month, for products purchased
online at macys.com, bloomingdales.com and on both brands’
mobile-enabled websites.
“When we piloted same-day delivery in eight markets initially
last fall, we learned that our customers appreciate the additional
option of having their purchase brought to their home or office in
a matter of hours. It is an important part of our value proposition
as an omnichannel retailer serving customers who shop our stores
and websites whenever, wherever and however they prefer,” said R.B.
Harrison, Macy’s, Inc. chief omnichannel officer. “Our ability to
expand same-day delivery is rooted in local merchandise inventories
at Macy’s stores, as well as a newly expanded delivery footprint of
our partners at Deliv.”
Together with eight same-day delivery markets piloted in fall
2014, the company now offers this service to customers in 17
markets.

customers in Manhattan is expected to begin in October 2015.)

Bloomingdale’s)

The charge for same-day delivery from macys.com or

fees.
In certain markets (currently Chicago, Los Angeles, San
Francisco and the Bay Area), Deliv also offers pickup of an online
purchase being returned to macys.com or bloomingdales.com. To
schedule a return, customers can go online to authorize the return
