they're not loops but the kind put in with a gun?

They're the kind put in with a gun. I saw them at the store and assumed the delivery men would remove them, but then I saw the above picture. I guess I'll have to ask Macy's "5-star delivery" service to remove them because I know myself. Either I'll: 1) cut the fabric, or 2) not cut deep enough and the plastic wire will stick out a zillionith of an inch, just enough to poke people on the back of their necks if they lean back.

Put a little tension on them and cut them close as you can to the fabric of the couch without cutting the fabric. Don't worry about what is left in the cushion, it will just fall in and disappear.

Good advice, jea, thank you. The next thing I have to do is get a sharp pair of scissors. The ones we have now barely cut paper.

I would call Macy's first and inquire who's responsible for removing them.

For "Five Star Delivery Service", they should remove the tags with gold-plated manicure scissors.

I received this e-mail from Macy's. Looks like they'll take care of it either by request or as a matter of routine:

"Upon arrival at your home your 5-Star Delivery Expert will:
Use pads and door protectors to protect your home while handling your new furniture
Wear shoe covers to protect your floors and gloves when needed to protect your new furniture
Review any special requests such as moving like items as needed to another room of your home on the same level (Only like items of those being delivered today may be moved on the same floor/level)

When bringing your new Home Furnishings into your home your Delivery Expert will:
Vacuum area(s) where your new purchase will be placed
Place bed skirt(s) and mattress pad(s) on your new bed
Remove all delivery packaging and materials when they leave from your residence."

They were here, rolled out the Macy's red carpet service and removed the tags themselves. Now I have to find something else to worry about.
