We are all aware of a popular store known as Macy's, plural.
I am not writing about that company.

I was aware that I was not ordering from that popular company, and I know Macychic was a play on their name, but I did not realize it was a scam company until I never received my package.

It is Macychic.com singular.

I should've tried to find something about them or look into it deeper before I made that purchase.

'macychic' had listed random items at ridiculously cheap prices, but if you buy anything you will never receive it.

Feb 16,2023, I ordered two 'clearance sweaters for $3.99 ea. The shipping was 10.99. Total purchase $19.99. That was Feb 16. I realized it was probably going to be a scam when I received the order email because it doesn't even have the name of the business just an 'M". Altho there is a link to the store in the email.

I did not received the order, but tracking said it was delivered. If it was delivered, they delivered it to the wrong address. Apparently they refuse to investigate as to where the item was 'delivered'.

I emailed asking where the package is, they reiterated that it was delivered, but if I had other problems contact them again.

I replied and restated that the package was not delivered, please send a refund.

Then I got a lengthy, convoluted, poor grammar email from an unprofessional sounding person saying they cannot send me a refund, but will resend the order if I say okay.

I replied either send my order to the correct address, or send a refund.

But now I fear this may result in being charged again, now that I realize that this is a total scam.

BUYER BEWARE. NOTHING ABOUT THE
'macychic' COMPANY RESEMBLES GOOD BUSINESS.

My history with PCH:

I used to throw every piece of junk mail away without even opening it.
About a year ago, I somehow signed up for PCH on-line. I think I played some sort of game. I never would download the app. But I was inundated with emails - like 10 a day. I played a series of 'number reveal' games a couple of times a week, but I finally unsubscribed bc it was ridiculous - it basically amounted to something like playing slot machines. No strategy available to win. You just tap images and see if numbers match, which of course, IF they were to do so, you'd have to play for hours on end everyday. Then, they send you endless messages like 'just 2 more steps!' 'Show us you want to win!'...
I read other sites where people say they won $10. Wooo. After HOW MANY HOURS of play?
So, as I said, I unsubscribed from the daunting, insane, daily flood of PCH email.

Then, I sent in a chance to win from a regular USPO mail I recieved.
I've also purchased 4 or 5 items from the USPO mailings I received. The items I purchased were ok. I gave 2 stars for that reason only. I tend to purchase unusual things or a quantity item.
But now, I get at least THREE envelopes WEEKLY from PCH packed with half pages of items they wanna sell me anywhere from 'only 5 payments of 1.99 to 5 payments of 3.99, plus shipping which is never less than $9 per item or MORE.

So here are some thoughts to ponder:

First, you & I will be better off buying stock in logging & papermills. The amount of trees & processing to create these mailings will be what makes us rich!

Secondly, 99% of the items they have for sale can be purchased in Wal Mart, Dollar General, Family Dollar, etc, for 1/3rd the total item-cost & shipping fee. As I said, the only purchases I made were for a few unusual things I don't see in dollar stores. But a purchase is not worth the deluge of junk mail you'll get.

Third, every week, in each pack of their mail I get different winning numbers. I can go out of my way & mail in any number as many times as I like, but quantity-entering is the criteria to increasing your odds, so how many $11 books of stamps is anyone willing to go thru, PER number? That's $11 worth of gambling per book of stamps. I get 2 or 3 packs of junk a week from them! How many chances would I put a stamp on to enter per number? 5, 10, 20, 50, 100?
Ridiculous costly, gambling.

Also, when you send in an envelope, there is an enclosed pamphlet of odds, and it states no purchase necessary to win. But that is written no where on the envelope, nor the stamps & stickers you are required to attach IF purchasing OR NOT purchasing - yes, they differentiate. In fact, multiple written comments insinuate buying helps you.
Of course, it does not.
Also, those 'criteria' stickers are intentionally mixed in with the item flyers and you have to find them amongst the pack of papers & attach them in the proper place - you always feel unsure you did it right or missed something. Of course, if you don't follow directions you'd be instantly disqualified.
Furthermore, if I'm not buying, and 'marking' my envelope as such, how do I know its not being automatically tossed in the waste bin? I'm sure it is.

Fourth issue - you can find NOTHING about the history of past winners, nor can you google anything to find out where any person is 5 years or a decade after winning the $5000 a-week-for-LIFE (or whatever the sum is now)
No one has ever met someone who won that kind money - am I to believe that anyone & everyone who ever won 'big' simply disappeared - no sister of an aunt's cousin's, cousin's friend even knows where any of these people are 5 years down the road?

This adds to my incredulity, not about whether any human being ever won this money - I think they win for a 'show', but I'm wondering whether they got more than 2 or 3 of these six-digit weekly checks until a loophole was found to disqualify them, or by 'some freak' accident they got killed or died suspiciously. Hmm!?

I guess as human beings we will, most of us fantasize about being wealthy enough to have and do things - not only that we want to have & do, but truly need.

I'm going to continue to trust The One who meets all my needs & even some of my wants. Yes, I fell into the rabbit hole a little ways, but not so far as a lifestyle. Thankfully - I got out, brushed myself off & walked away, now aware of how this trap looks.

I would give it 3.5 stars - but since they deleted the message boards its just not as fun.
I really enjoyed discussing movies on there with lucid people.
However, i think they had to take it down due to the number of asinine and/or crude remarks so often made on comment boards by senseless idiots.

What I most enjoy about IMDB is if you eveb just know part of the name of a movie, you'll probably be able to find it. If you like a particular actor, or director, or music artist, you can look them and see every movie or TV appearance they've done and then you can cross reference and find all sorts of movies you never knew existed!
I also enjoy looking up actors from the 30s thru 70's.

I also enjoy reading trivia and comments, amd movie trivia.

I feel bad for those who had a bad experience(s) with 'Woman Within'.

I recently ordered 2 tunic-tops on clearance, and this included a free 50"x60" cotton throw-quilt.

As one lady pointed out here, the material is not quite as quality as Roamans - which I've ordered similar tops from and they are softer, printed t-shirt-like material.

WW tunics are a little 'stiffer' printed material. I'm thinking they will soften up after a few washings? I ordered XL and both tops are a little big! Another slight difference from Roamans - their XL tunics fit just right. WW XL seems more like XXL - but again I'm ok with that.

I never put my tunics in the dryer - but I might do a little test to see if my WW tunics will shrink a tad. No biggie. Better loose than too tight!

I love the prints on both the tops I got, and the quilt is VERY nice! It's just a thin little lap quilt, perfect for a spring or fall day. It's very soft & would make a perfect little baby quilt!

The items came within about 3 days of ordering them!
I was so surprised how quickly they arrived!
And I really got a great deal - all 3 items for just over $40!

I've attached a 'collage' photo showing the items I got.

I got a 'Clearance Steals' catalog from Full Beauty.

It has a deal: buy 1@12.99, get 1 50% off (@6.49) It is written that way IN the catalog description etc. (See attached picture)

This catalog also shows a free Anorak jacket with ANY order.

HOWEVER - when you go to their web-site, the shopping cart will not display these prices.
Even when I typed in the catalog # and item # to search the items it will not show the sales price or the B1G1 deal.

In the shopping cart, I typed in the promo code for this catalog, and the details say 'only on orders of $60 or more - see back of catalog for details'.

Well, I have scoured this catalog and NOWHERE does it say I have to spend $60 to get the B1G1 deal and the Anorak is FREE with ANY order.

So, WHAT GIVES?

Bait & switch?

I've sent 2 contact emails & finally got a reply that just says 'We got your email'.

SO FRUSTRATING.

WHY CANT I JUST GO TO CHECK OUT PUT THE CODE IN AND GET THE DEAL ADVERTISED?!

Arrrggg.

I will follow up and change my review-stars if they actually help me.

Attached is the photo showing buy 1 get 1 50% off.
And a photo showing the FREE anorak with ANY order

It's an 'ok' game thing - but definitely not worth a monthly fee.

If it was a $1 to $5 one-time payment that would be ok... who pays a monthly fee to play a phone game for 5 minutes a day? The only increase in brain activity you should have dear gamer, is to understand that.

There are a lot of free, fun games out there that are mentally challenging, and some great ones for ONE PAYMEMT of $2.99 or less.

Also - did'ja ever notice how a lot of reviews mention the same negative experience? I see a whole lot of reviews mentioning problems with the payment, & not getting the game, or the game not working properly & little or no tech support...

The game asked me to review - and on that review forum I saw many of the same issues mentioned. Here by those who embarked on monthly or yearly payments.

Also saw a lot of comments about how boring the repetitive free game is, & the inability to even replay some of those.

I found it weird that I could replay some of the games & improve my final score, even if I missed 1 or 2 more than on a previous score. I think the game does this to falsely build your ego - makes you think you're smarter - if your 'smarter' then by a sort of psychological-innuendo you should be getting bored with the 'easy' free version & be psyched (& apparently hypnotized) to pay not only for the game, but continually pay for it monthly...

On that same review forum, after several of the same poor reviews, there was an extreme rash of one word-praise reviews, or no comments, just 5 stars, making it pretty obvious everyone & their cousin affiliated with Lumosity glommed-on to boost ratings.

So herein is wisdom, if you wish to increase your apptitude, heed these warnings so many have shared, and research other interesting, challenging that aren't tryin' to scam ya.
