I have had Ugg boots in the cart for couple of days. Today I got an email from Nordstrom saying that the item in the cart now on sale. So I thought that 25% is a pretty good discount and I decided to make a purchase. When I went by a link, I was not able to find a coupon or automatic discount. So I called Nordstrom customer service. The representative said that it was a mistake, read a passage from the conditions saying that basically Nordstrom can have mistakes in description, price, etc. and they can always correct mistakes even after the purchase is complete! Have you ever seen a bigger fraud?! They are saying that Nordstrom can send you an advertisement and it can be just their mistake or even done on purpose to draw your attention, however, Nordstrom will never be responsible for that! How do you like this?!

OMG I placed an order, it will be a week tomorrow & it still hasn't shipped. I talked to Customer Service asking why this order hasn't shipped. She could not give me a definitive response. She told me it's shipping from Riverside, CA 20 miles from my delivery address. This order should have shipped 3 days after the order was placed. Very disappointed in how Nordstrom ships orders. This is the 2nd time I've had delayed shipping. My best advice just to one of their stores so you won't experience the headache I'm having about this order. Nordstrom's need to hire a more suitable Logistics Department & Manager.

Nordstrom is going the cheap route by using OnTrac as their delivery service. OnTrac, for my location (a store front in a busy downtown) leaves packages on the public sidewalk, outside of normal & posted retail hours. In this instance, OnTrac & Nordstrom swear up & down that the package was delivered. No surprise - the package was not received. Nordstrom is refusing to refund, despite this unethical delivery method. Nordstrom is no longer a great retail store. Now, they are one of the worst. My advise - shop somewhere/anywhere else.

Nordstrom barely has anything high end or of good quality but I decided to give them a try with a pair of Bottega shoes. I ordered the shoes and when they arrived they did not come in the original Bottega Veneta box. They came in a Nordstrom box with wrinkled packaging and without the original wraps for the shoes. The strings were taped up. As a person who purchases high end luxury items this was the first time I’ve seen this. Being that the packaging is just as important as the item and being a content creator, I planned to unbox these but could not. I was very disappointed. I called customer service to see if the original box could be sent and was told no. I’ll be returning these and ordering directly from Bottega. Horrible customer service, these shoes are not cheap.

I was surprised to learn that Nordstrom allows pets on a leash in their stores. Could end up being very unsanitary!! Not to mention that an animal can get agitated in a crowded indoor environment that they are not familiar with and be hostile or worse bite a customer. And not all owners keep their pets fastidious so what about their germs? Although I love pets what about other shoppers who want to shop only with other people? I think this is a poorly thought out policy and should be revisited with an eye towards reversing it.

I first received these Hangisis in April as a birthday gift. It’s 5 months later & sadly I haven’t been able to wear them. The 1st pair were used & didn’t even come with dust bags or anything protecting the shape or crystals. From there something has been wrong with every pair from Nordstrom. They were either displays, used, or had a defect. Associates even mocked me when they thought I left the store but I heard it all & they became aware once I told them I’m still here. These are the 6th pair & now I’m questioning even more how Nordstrom stores their inventory. These look like they were stored in a hot warehouse because it’s all coming apart. I don’t want to say it’s Manolo because all the previous pairs I’ve received from Nordstrom were horrible. Signs of poor quality control. I’m starting to think they aren’t meant for me but they are the only store with the white crystals. It’s upsetting they don’t take care of higher priced items.

Sent a return back to Nordstrom on 6.3.22. Finally it was received by the company 6.11.22 in Elizabeth Town Pa, checked with nordstrom on 6.15.22 at 12:04pm to see the status of the return to be told by Liane they don't have the package yet. I literally have an email that shows it was received by nordstrom days ago. She seemed very misinformed and didn't understand if they had the order back or not, despite the email and tracking ID stating they did. She then told me the end of June I should get a refund. Seriously end of June? It takes seconds to take my money but weeks, maybe a months to get it back? Won't be shopping here ever again.

I recently sent a return to Nordstrom of an item that had pilled really badly after the first wear. When I sent my return I specifically requested a gift card in return as I had closed my Nordstrom Visa card. I was given the run-around repeatedly. I had to follow up multiple times and never received a helpful response. Three months later I sent my routine email following up and they said they had credited my old Nordstrom visa. I had to re-explain the instructions because clearly they can't follow them. Then I was told to call Nordstrom customer service and they gave me a 1-800 number. WHAT? I explained I do not have that kind of time on my hands and re-iterated the assignment that they clearly failed. I never got the help I needed. Instead, a generic response from another country handling their customer service inquiries.

I never got the gift card and I never received my sweater. $280 vanished since Nordstrom can't handle their customer service in-house. They have joined forces of sending these affairs to another country. I have shared my story with friends and they have similar bad experiences with Nordstrom. Nordstrom is probably on their way out of business. The signs are there. They basically kept my money and my sweater. Unbelievable. I think I'll shop elsewhere.

Let me start out by saying that I ordered a pair of Uggs on the 21st of April and to date (May 6th) I have yet to receive them. I contacted Fed Ex and no updates. Nordstrom offered nothing to me to make the situation better. The only thing that they said that they could do, was to offer free expedited shipping (oh, but I had to pay for it first) and then would be reimbursed 7-10 business days later. I have to call Nordstrom back next week in order to be eligible to receive my refund. It takes 12 business days to receive my money, on top of already waiting two week for my package?

This is so ridiculous I could only shake my head in disgust and even the rep I spoke to on the phone appeared to show a bit of empathy. Nordstrom, your refund policy is the worst ever and obviously you could care less about keeping your customers happy. I am going to share this experience on all my social media platforms and strongly discourage anyone to buy anything from you again. Terrible, terrible, service!!!!

We were long time Scottsdale Nordstrom customers over the years. For my wife's birthday, she picked the new CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN Cabata East-West Leather Tote Bag and ordered it online to be delivered to our house. A couple days later she gets notified it was delivered; she gets home and there is no box and no purse. Our Ring camera has no history of any delivery being made to our house. We call Nordstrom who does research with their HORRIFIC shipper OnTrac who tells them the package was delivered to our house but won't give us the coordinates. We checked our neighbors to make sure it didnt go elsewhere. Unless the delivery person and box are invisible, it never made it to our home.

Nordstrom is refusing to replace the purse and we would be stuck for paying $1400 for the purse we didn't get. Is Nordstrom ignorant to the fact OnTrac is ripping them off; the reviews of OnTrac confirm theft is rampant and they are a poorly run organization. We will never shop at Nordstrom again after being customers who have spent 10's of thousands of dollars over the years. We will fight paying for a purse we never received. Shame on you Nordstrom.

I placed an order (353676829) on 3/11/22 that has become the order from. Nordstrom's Seattle customer service supervisor was very short and borderline rude. Entire order was to be shipped on an expedited basis. After placing the order and paying for an expedited shipment, I was later notified that "some of your items will move via 'standard shipping.'" Nordstrom's Customer Service supervisor (William in Seattle), informed me that "I should have noticed that all the garments would not be expedited." After your order is completed online, you'll receive a confirmation notice. I briefly looked at it and it seemed accurate.

Only later, after William informed me that "I should have taken notice," did I realize that you must review every single item to see if it will be expedited. Why? I do not know, because they then told me, "If it doesn't show as shipping via expedited delivery, we can't change that." To confound issues even more, they told me that the items "would be shipped from the vendor," which is incorrect. Will probably return entire order!

On or about January 4, 2022, my friend sent me a gift from Nordstrom that was damaged. I contacted Nordstrom directly and they said to ship it back to them for an exchange of the same item. I promptly returned the item and never received the exchange. After 4 weeks, I again contacted Nordstrom. They told me to wait until February 25, 2022, at which point they said their store policy required them to provide a refund, replacement or gift card without further wait. I received nothing and contacted Nordstrom a 3rd time on February 25, 2022, at which time a customer service representative identifying herself as a "manager" named "SYAN" told me that Nordstrom would not honor the exchange but would send a gift card and it would take 5 days, even though the gift card is sent via email.

When I received nothing again, I contacted Nordstrom on March 4, 2022, and spoke to a customer service representative identifying herself as a "manager" named "TATIANA". Tatiana said Nordstrom never processed the requests for a gift card, although she confirmed receipt of the returned item weeks ago. This is appalling customer service.

I know how this works. I'll write a review regarding my experience, and then I will get a gratuitous form email from the company saying that they are "genuinely" sorry and that they are dedicated to quality customer satisfaction. But are they really? Either way, I think it's important enough for me to take the time to write a review.

I purchased a popular pair of shoes through the Nordstrom website. They cost more than $1,200 including tax. When the package arrived at my house, I was excited to open the box. My excitement went downhill from there. The first thing that I noticed after I opened the outer package was the faded shoe box that had been taped and re-taped. There was even a hole on the bottom of the box. Not a big deal, but disappointing nonetheless since I planned to store the shoes in the box.

When I opened the shoe box, I first noticed the very wrinkled, torn, and somewhat dirty tissue paper. At this point, I was almost afraid to look at the shoes. The next thing I looked for were the beautiful red cloth dust bags that come with this brand of shoe. The brand's website even says, if the dust cloths are not included, they could be counterfeit. To my further dismay, the cloth dust bags were missing. I tried to justify my disappointment. After all, I was purchasing shoes and not the packaging right?

I took out the shoes. At first glance, they were gorgeous. They were just what I was looking for. But at closer examination, it looked like the red soles were dirty. They were not worn down, but they obviously had been worn. On the inside of one shoe was a rectangular gummy mark. It felt almost like there had been a sticker that had been peeled off inside the shoe.

After one attempt to question the delivery of such poor quality with Nordstrom customer service online, I decided to go to a store. There, I got a lot of lip service, but not a lot of solution. I saw the look on the manager's face when he opened the box and saw what $1,200 buys you at Nordstrom online. He did a good job. He stayed faithful to the company explaining that this happens sometimes and saying a lot of the same things we've come to expect from organizations who care less about customer satisfaction and more about bottom line.

So Nordstrom's remedy was simple. They'll return the money to my account with a few clicks, and then send a form apology letter with a few more clicks after reading a few negative reviews. I'm less faithful than the manager. I will no longer shop at Nordstrom or affiliated stores. I also wonder what the shoe company who uses Nordstrom to represent their product will think?

A Dec. 2021 holiday promotion offered a $50 time-limited promotional e-gift card if you purchased a $300 e-gift card for someone. I have participated in this promotion in past years with no problem. The recipient received her $300 gift card by email, no problem. The promotional e-gift card did not arrive in my email on Jan 1 as promised, and it expires at the end of January. Mid January, I followed up and asked if it could be re-sent. Customer service agents of various ability attempted to solve my problem, but failed, even when we double checked the email address, and I triple checked my SPAM folder. Finally asked for a supervisor to try: no luck. So the supervisor then sent it to another email address (work), and that succeeded. Took 5 calls, 4 agents, 1 supervisor, and 5 days to get my card 5 days before it expired. Not sure what the problem was. Next year's gift cards will not be from Nordstrom.

Just an FYI, I bought a $300.00 jacket from Nordstrom for my daughter’s Christmas present. I bought the wrong size. Called customer service to do an exchange but they didn’t have the right color. So I did a return as disgust with customer service. 3 months later I still have not received a refund. Per USPS it was delivered and they even confirmed it was delivered. I have talked to several people at customer service and I finally was told that they can’t verify what I returned. So I guess they didn’t receive it correctly and lost track of it in they building. So have to pay for their issues. This could happen to you too. Don’t chance it!

In January 2022 I noticed that Nordstrom Rack retracted a refund issued to me because CDL lost my package on 9.24. On 10.08 CDL marked the package “Delivered lost”. Not sure what that means but I have an email from CDL confirming that they lost it. I noticed a pending charge of 68$ on my account and I called and they refunded it again in January 2022 but seriously? I should pay for an item lost by a shipping company? And I was not even asked.

Right now I have another Order from 12.9.2021. 2 items say label created, tracking will be available when Lasership receives the package. Why is it marked delivered on NR website when it never started tracking? I called a few days ago. And these are things that I noticed. In general I do not even understand my credit card statement because of authorizations and then individual charges superimposed on authorizations. This is a rant basically because they should maybe check the tracking and what it really says.

This was my first and last time ordering from Nordstrom online. I ordered 3 items on November that were sent in 2 shipments. The first shipment was through Ontrac and that only updated when a label was created. The second shipment was sent through USPS and I received that 3 days later. To this day, ontrac claims to never have received my order. I called Nordstrom at least 6 times and each time their story changed on when I would get a refund and when I would get my package. They have very misleading and unethical practices and I'm blown away by how incompetent they are. I should have known they were going under because that makes people do very shady things to keep them from refunding customers. I will post this on every review site online. Stay away from this business!!! Amazon and Macy's are more reliable.

I've shopped at Nordstrom for probably 30 years now (I'm in my 50's), and I've seen an ENORMOUS change in the prior level of competency, excellence, and customer service at Nordstrom. There have been a number of blips over the past 2 years, but here is the worst. I return an item curbside to a store accompanied by my full receipt, which includes ALL of my contact information.

The store didn't bother to use ANY of that contact information that was readily available to them to email me a receipt for this return. Instead, they just emailed someone with the SAME LAST NAME my purchase and refund information, AND the last 4 digits of my CREDIT CARD. If that's not a huge information breach, I don't know what is. I'm not sure if it is a lazy or careless employee involved, but I'm done. It's not the Nordstrom it used to be, and I'm tired of it. Nordstrom is going downhill fast. I'm going to stop this ride and get off before it takes me down with it.

I have been shopping Nordstrom for years but will not anymore. First off, many employees working there act like they are too good to work there and that they are high-end designers who can’t be bothered with the actual people who can afford to shop there. Second, don’t even bother with online purchases and returns. Nordstrom is horrible with this. They do not have an A-Z policy like Amazon.

It’s the year 2021 and Nordstrom still operates like we have to wait on the Pony Express. Be efficient Nordstrom. Ok, let me add that their most incompetent people are answering the customer services calls and online chats. If you don’t receive your items like I didn’t this week, they will just turn you over to their “delivery research department.” Now this department is the biggest joke of all. They basically send you an email that says “your return cannot be processed.” You’ll end up filing a claim with UPS and contacting your credit card. Wish me luck on getting my refund of almost $400 for the items I never received in the box.

I was given a $100 Nordstrom gift card for my birthday. I have tried 3 times to place an order online and once by calling customer service.

I sent emails and was told to call, I did and again the same actions/response. The gift card shows on the Nordstrom site as being good with a balance of $100. Evidently buying a Nordstrom gift card for someone is not going to provide a good experience for the person you give it to.

Nordstrom has always been my go to for upscale service and merchandise but I just left the West Farms location in Connecticut and it was awful. I took my 16 year old son for his first suit and was astonished at the lack of selection. The labels were Indochina, Ted Baker and Boss basically. No higher end selection and the ties were equally disappointing. The worst part was the service. There simply wasn’t any. The one man on the floor was working with a couple and a number of us just waited around to be acknowledged which never happened.
