Macy's is the most famous retail chain in America. It includes more than 600 department stores selling clothing, footwear, as well as various accessories and home goods. The most famous Macy's department store is located in New York, on 34th Street in Manhattan, and is considered a significant architectural landmark. It is one of the city's main attractions, along with the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty. It is right next to it that the famous Thanksgiving Day parade takes place, with its enormous inflatable figures. To watch the parade, more than 3 million people take to the streets of New York on this day.

The History of Macy's
It all started with a small clothing shop that opened in New York in 1858. At first glance, it would seem that it was no different from the others. But its founder, Roland Macy, chose an unusual strategy. All the merchandise was placed out in the open — anyone could try on anything they wanted. And at the same time, all of Macy's clothing had a fixed-price tag, so bargaining with customers, as people liked to do back then, was not possible in his little shop.
These two innovations delighted customers: they could quickly try on anything their heart desired, and they could see in advance how much everything cost. In addition, Macy's clothing was arranged by size, so it was possible to immediately find what fit.
As a result, the store grew into a department store, and later even started the tradition of Thanksgiving Day parades. Today the company earns $25 billion a year and has more than 130 thousand employees. The company has branches in twelve countries (Russia, unfortunately, is not one of them). And in the US, the Macy's.com website is one of the most popular online stores. It is still famous for its great prices, as well as its huge selection of clothing, shoes, and accessories.
Macys.com online store: what is worth buying?
Unfortunately, Macy's does not have an official Russian website. The company's products online can only be purchased in the Macy's online store in America. Prices there are listed in dollars (although for users' convenience they may be automatically converted into the currency of their country).
The Macys store sells almost everything, but most often people use Prostobox to ship clothing, shoes, handbags, pet toys, cosmetic products, and home goods. For all of this, the American Macy's website has special sections and convenient filters.
But first of all, we recommend visiting the Sale. It contains all the products that are currently discounted. Since Macy's assortment is incredible, even such products will number more than a hundred thousand. Next, on the left, choose Department, and filter by the product group you are interested in. This way, in 2 clicks, we find all the discounts in the section you need. There will be thousands of them! And these are real discounts, often up to 50-70%!
Since the assortment is so huge and promotions are running constantly, there is absolutely no point in shopping at the Macy's online store without discounts. You will always find a current product at the best price, and if not, just come back a couple of days later. Discounts on the American Macy's website are updated regularly, new promo codes appear, and fresh collections are released (while old ones become much cheaper).
We especially recommend demi-season shoes and clothing, knitwear, dresses, and suits. Quite often, these (from fairly well-known brands!) can be found for just 10-20 dollars. And free delivery to the Prostobox warehouse from the Macy's store starts at $25 (the amount may change).
By the way, before buying, don't forget to register first: this way you will get -25% off your first order, plus you will automatically join the loyalty program and begin your path to Gold or Platinum status.
