Editorial Review for Bloomingdale's – by Lisa Marie Rovito

The Scene
For an institution that's been around since 1872, its fresh merch, as well as its cheerful lighting and colorful, quirky displays are all keenly modern. The music is great, the staff is fairly approachable and the crowds do thin out on the upper levels, where things get pricier and more refined. But, on the down side, the place is a labyrinth of columns, partitions and levels. Easy to get turned around, even lost.

The Goods
One of the best selections of handbags for all tastes and occasions. An incredible array of swimsuits and coats with its own petite section. The second floor is an energizing trip, condensing your favorite labels in one place: French Connection, BCBG and Kenneth Cole next to Bisou Bisou, Theory and Vivienne Tam. The all-too-tempting designer shoe salon on the fourth floor stocks those hard-to-walk-in goodies you see in magazines.

Awful customer service- Brides don't use their registry!

05/22/2008 Posted by scmagallona

I ordered 2 items from a friend's bridal registry and only one was shipped! I was horrofied to find out one of the gifts did not arrive and this is even after calling them to reconfirm. So I called them up again to re-process the order and their customer service personnel are retarded. I had to keep repeating myself and spell out everything in phonetic alphabet tables! After being on the phone with them for 20 minutes I get a confirmation email with still the wrong billing address! Unbelievable.

Pros: Brand equity

Cons: Very poor customer service

Thank God for Bloomies!!!!!

Well, I have to say there are two things I don't know where I would be without. One is my mother and Second is Bloomingdales. And sorry mom not necessarily in that order. This the only truly original Manhattan department store still around. I know we have so many shops but Bloomies still has so much class. Even the employees are good looking and neatly dressed. They Treat you like you should be when shopping like a valuable customer. whatever you need you will find it at Bloomies and it will more then likely be a better quality item then found at other department store. Forget about diamonds Bloomies is a girl's best friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pros: A shopping paradise. Great looking staff.
