The Macy’s One Day Sale can technically be called a 48-hour sale. With over 150 years in business, you can bet that Macy’s knows how to run a good sale. The retailer is having a massive one-day sale on select items across an assortment of categories. During the discount event, you can get savings of up to 70% off on things like mattresses, home goods, fashion, and more. Free shipping is available on most items with a purchase greater than $25. Alternatively, you can choose to pick your order up at a store near you, where available.
Should you need to make a return for any reason, Macy’s offers one of the most flexible policies in the industry. If you aren’t completely satisfied, you can return most items by mail or in-store within 90 days of purchase for free (exclusions apply).
Macy’s One Day Sales used to happen about once per month. Starting in 2018, Macy’s introduced the 48 Hour Sale. On paper, it looks almost identical to the One Day Sale. The only true difference is that it more accurately reflected the timeline of the longevity of the sale. (Even the Macy’s One Day Sale always has a “preview day”, which basically makes it a two day sale).
