I have been a permanent customer for south coast plaza location over 12 years. The lady Victoria at Lingerie Dept; so sneaky: even our order was paid in advance by our insurance company she demanded the item must me paid full price. I am 100% sure she did this to other people especially if your English not very good. And I am also sure she was going to put that money in her pocket. I am warning people: be very careful with Victoria. This Victoria should not be working at this store.

I placed an order for just over 600. and I wanted a signature with delivery because I live in a large apartment complex and UPS and FedEx do not deliver to the door. They leave the packages all over the place without any accountability for delivering the packages to the actual Recepient and sometimes they say delivered without actually delivering the package at all.
Nordstrom says we do not ask for a signature so you can't ask for one which I think is ridiculous. In the end I did not end up receiving my package even though it said delivered they never delivered the package. I looked everywhere, also the supervisor at the leasing office looked everywhere like an hour after they said they delivered it to a package room, and it was not there or anywhere at all; it was never delivered. Nordstrom gave me a hard time and did not want to refund me for an expensive package I never received it is a disgrace. The worst customer service ever!

Nordstrom stole my money, I did not receive my items, and they will not recover them. It’s so sad. It was a 500 dollar item that I didn’t receive. It’s sad cause I’ve been shopping at Nordstrom since I was a kid. 😑

Birthday Gift ordered on time, never arrived! Nordstrom as big as they are, continue using a Fraudulent Shipping Partner called TFORCE LOGISTICS and that says enough honestly. I ordered an item on Wednesday and immediately was told my item would arrive Friday, April 11th. This Shipping Partner that Nordstrom selected attempted to deliver my package earlier at 9:40PM, which is an unusual delivery time... to sum it up I get an email saying, "Sorry we missed you" and that they will attempt to deliver the next business day, which is the actual delivery day of Friday, April 11th.
So next business day come no update so I call them asking what's going on and that the driver attempted to deliver early without the details of you, can't enter our community without calling after 5 PM because unless you go in behind a car, which is unlikely at that time you need to call to be let in. System updates and package is out for delivery... they ignored that it needed to be delivered by 5 PM and had an estimated delivery time of 8 PM.
Here it is the next day still no package and Nordstrom does nothing and didn't try to replace the order to be expedite it. I've reported this company to Nordstrom after the cut-off time... NOTHING! Contacted the Shipping Partner... NO HELP! Contacted Nordstrom today and received a scripted apology with no solution as to what they will be doing and now after ruining what was supposed to be a Birthday gift, they want me to wait until next Wednesday, April 16th to report it stolen/missing although I have receipts that those company is clearly fraudulent from all the complaints that got them a 1.7 Google rating. No longer ordering from Nordstrom until they fix their customer service and who they choose to partner with, which is unlikely.

I would give zero stars if I could!! I am convinced that their returns department steals shipments or makes up any excuse to not return an item and keeps it for themselves. I received a different item than what I ordered, so I did what any normal person would do. I returned the item and chose "wrong item" as the return code. Nordstrom is refusing to refund my money saying it was not a Nordstrom item. I RETURNED THE SAME ITEM THAT I RECEIVED!! How is this not a Nordstrom item?? It was a $500 item! This is just one of the many issues I have had with doing returns. I was hopeful that since they switched to FedEx and updated the return system that things would be better. NOPE!

I returned some older boots I never wore and got a return label from them. After many weeks and calls I was told "they could not confirm what was in the box" and i would not be getting a refund or credit or returned back. I've never heard this reason in the history of returns at any store. They would not return them to me and said they were "destroyed". What a waste. Apparently it's in their small print that they have the right to do this. I will never shop there again. I could have sold them online for at least half the price! They brag about their "generous return policy". Ha! I bet someone is wearing them in customer returns!

For Christmas I ordered a pair of shoes from Nordstrom that never arrived, despite their claim it was delivered. Our entrance cameras confirmed no delivery on the stated day. When I reported this, Nordstrom insisted the shoes were delivered and refused to help. Later, I received an email saying my credit card had been refunded—another lie. After numerous emails, I was told someone else was reimbursed with a gift card for my purchase. Completely unacceptable. This experience was a nightmare. Nordstrom’s customer service is dismissive and dishonest. I will never shop with them again.

Terribly disappointed in the Nordstrom fulfillment process. Placed an order for a pair of Valentino shoes on 12/20, with the website showing that 2 were in stock, and 4 days later did I get a notice saying the order was cancelled for being out of stock. It was likely being shipped from a store and the process was too slow to fulfill and likely all the available pairs were bought in person at the store. The clerks are not concerned about fulfilling such shipped-from-store orders, because they would rather have the commission or customer interactions from those buying in store. I have to wait a week now for $700 to fall off of my card, and not only that, these shoes are completely sold out everywhere now. Completely tacky, the only email I get just is a header reading “Sorry,” as if it’s not a big deal.
The order I have been expecting is completely canceled and with no way of ever ordering again. I even use my last double point day. At least Bergdorf’s and Neiman Marcus give you a discount on a future purchase if they cancel your order. I hate Nordstrom and would rather cancel my account and never attempt to buy anything of value online there again.

I ordered several items for Christmas and received a notice that they had been delivered at 7:40 pm. The cameras did not ping and the package was not by the garage where they said it would be. I spoke to my mail carrier who usually delivers early in the day. She said to call the postal supervisor. The tracking number said the package had been delivered to an address in Riverside, CA. I live in Georgia. I received one item in the order 4 days later, but 4 items were redirected. I called Nordstrom and reported the problem. They said they would fix it. Later I received 4 separate emails stating they had refunded my money minus 4 x $9.95 return label fee. I never touched the products to return. This required another customer service call to get those fees refunded. I am extremely disappointed with Nordstrom- After reading several reviews, I believe someone on their end is redirecting packages. I don’t plan on giving them anymore business.

I have been a Nordstrom cardholder since the 1980s. They have now upped the monthly interest rate to 33.15%! That is robbery. I will cut up my card, close my account and never shop at Nordstrom again.

I have been a long-time customer of Nordstrom/Nordstrom Rack and now they are upping the interest on all their customers between 31 and 34%. The customer service representative stated the reason is to “put all customers at the same rate.” Now does that make any sense. If I have a high credit score, long time customers, and perfect paying history why would it be fair for me to pay the same rate as someone who may have just received Nordstrom credit, has a below 700 score, with no Nordstrom credit history. Hum, I think there is something simply wrong with that statement.
The real reason these companies like Nordstrom are price-gouging the rates is they know the government is trying to step in and make them lower the late payment fee, so I guess their answer to that is to get their money up front no matter who or how many customers they end up losing. Especially when they are making money on customers who are never late to help compensate for those that are. With so many people struggling to get by because of all the price hikes with food and gas you would think someone would give the average consumer a break. Well here goes another account I close.
See each of these companies make money on the interest we pay. If we pay off the cards that is less money they can make, and with no or little money coming in, they will be forced to offer special rates or lower the rates back down. I urge everyone to look at your credit cards and say is it worth paying this high interest rate just so the company can continue making the big bucks or is it better to have that extra money in your pocket. I say pocket it if you can. I hope Nordstrom is reading this.

Nordstrom wanted to raise the interest rate on my credit card to 31.15% when I have been a loyal customer for 21 years. I was unable to resolve the issue by contacting the company, so I cancelled my account. The company should look at each customer individually instead of sending a notification like that. When I cancelled the account, the company said, “We are sorry to see you go,” when it was the company’s own fault. An interest rate of 31.15% is characteristic of a predatory lender. It was a sleazy move on the part of the company, even if it was legal.

I went to Nordstrom last week and saw an ** guys doing a Dyson airwrap demo and since I was interested to buy one I asked him to do a demo on my hair to see the ease of use. He literally picked one bunch of hair and showed the demo, I said thanks and I asked him to do one bunch on the other side so I won’t get out leaving like I have some lopsided hair. He said, "This is a demo that’s all we show." I got up and a white girl sat on the chair for a demo and mind you she had not bought a dyson but he demonstrated on her entire hair with curls and all that without caring that I was just behind watching them. How rude, I refused to buy the dyson from Nordstrom, instead went to Dyson store in the mall to get one.
They can’t hire people off the street they should train them in excellent CSR skills to be working in a high end department store like yours. I ordered a bottle of Sulwhasoo small bottle $52 since they didn’t have the smaller size in the store they ordered online. I received it in the mail wrapped in a plastic bag but the cardboard box was messed up and the plastic inner cover for the bottle was missing. I don’t feel safe to use the cream. What’s happening to Nordstrom? Their quality has gone down the drain. The smaller bottle in the website shows as Gift with purchase?

When I followed up both through a chat and an email I was told nothing could be done and I had to pay for the items that I never received. Total rip off.

I am writing to express my profound disappointment and dissatisfaction with the unacceptable lack of hospitality I experienced during my recent visit to the Nordstrom store at White Plains The Westchester Mall. On Tuesday July 16, 2024I arrived at the store at approximately 2:45 until 4:30 pm with the intention of making a purchase. However, despite waiting patiently for 1 hour and 45 minutes, I was completely ignored by all the sales associates in the shoe department.
During this extended period, I noticed several sales associates assisting other customers, but none of them even made eye contact with me. I attempted to approach a few of them on several occasions, but they simply turned away and continued helping other customers. I understand that the store may have been short-staffed, but the complete lack of acknowledgment I received was unacceptable. It made me feel invisible and unimportant.
To resolve the situation, called the customer service relations and spoke to a representative. They expressed understanding and agreed that the situation was unacceptable. They assured me that they would speak to the sales associates and ensure that I would receive prompt assistance. After they left I waited another 35 minutes for no one to come over and assist me but nothing happened! Unfortunately, I ended up leaving, if they weren’t going to acknowledge me why spend my money there!
However, despite the customer service representative's intervention, no sales associate approached me for an additional 30 minutes. This further exacerbated my frustration and left me feeling utterly neglected. Nordstrom's reputation for exceptional customer service has always been one of its strongest selling points. However, the experience I encountered on this visit falls far short of that high standard. The lack of hospitality and the dismissive behavior of the sales associates have left a lasting negative impression.
I am deeply disappointed that I was not treated with the respect and courtesy that I deserve as a customer. I urge you to take immediate steps to address this unacceptable behavior and ensure that all customers are treated with the utmost professionalism and respect. I look forward to receiving your prompt and comprehensive response to this complaint.

I bought a gift card for my daughter. When she went to use the card, the store clerk scratched to expose the PIN, then proceeded to tell her that the gift card had already been used on-line. Nordstrom did not honor the card, even though the clerk stated she was the one that had exposed the PIN. So apparently these gift cards can be used on-line without the PIN and I am out the money. I will never buy another gift card for Nordstrom since they cannot guarantee the security... Buyer beware!

At 1st I had some issues receiving a cologne purchased from Nordstrom.com which was intended as a birthday gift for my friend, and I was unsuccessful in getting the situation resolved using the normal route of emailing Nordstrom's customer service.

Writing this review regarding a frustrating experience I had trying to order a cologne for our friend's birthday. I placed an order with "2 day shipping," but 1 day after the item was expected to arrive, I received a surprising email that my order is being canceled entirely. I was still able to re-order online, and after reaching out to customer service, I was assured my item would arrive this time. The next day, my order was canceled again out of the blue. If you read the other reviews here, several customers report having their Christmas gifts canceled with little notice before the holiday. I had purchased a Nordstrom gift card to use toward this item, and now I'm stuck with a $150 card I do not need.
I am frustrated for 2 reasons: 1st, I was able to complete check-out for this item on 2 distinct occasions despite it not actually being in stock by Nordstrom. And 2nd, I had to show up at my friend's birthday empty-handed. Normally, when I take the time to write a long letter explaining the situation to a company's customer service, I get a legitimate resolution or at the very least acknowledgement for the specific trouble caused. With Nordstrom, I essentially got no help-- merely couple sentence responses rehashing that my order was canceled and "Thank you...for choosing to shop with Nordstrom.com." Ironically, this will be the last time that I make that choice.

Title: Disappointed with Nordstrom's Customer Service. Review: I recently had a rather frustrating experience with Nordstrom's customer service, which has left me feeling disappointed and dissatisfied. The issue began when I purchased a gift card from Nordstrom, only to discover that it had been tampered with prior to my purchase. Unfortunately, the money on the card had been stolen, leaving me with an empty gift card.
When I reached out to Nordstrom's customer service to explain the situation and request a refund or replacement, I was met with an unexpected and unsatisfactory response. Despite providing proof of purchase and explaining the tampering, they refused to refund the money or replace the gift card. This lack of willingness to rectify the situation left me feeling frustrated and let down. As a loyal customer, I expected better customer service from Nordstrom, especially when faced with a clear case of tampering and theft. Their unwillingness to take responsibility for the issue and provide a satisfactory resolution is simply unacceptable.
I understand that policies and procedures are in place to protect the company, but in this instance, it feels like Nordstrom prioritized their own interests over customer satisfaction. It is disheartening to see a company of their reputation fail to stand behind their products and ensure their customers' trust and loyalty. I hope that Nordstrom takes this feedback constructively and reevaluates their approach to customer service in situations like mine. It is crucial for a company of their stature to prioritize customer satisfaction and go above and beyond to rectify issues, especially when it involves theft and tampering.
In conclusion, my experience with Nordstrom's customer service regarding the tampered gift card was disappointing and left me feeling undervalued as a customer. I hope that Nordstrom will take this feedback seriously and work towards improving their customer service policies to prevent such incidents from happening in the future.

This is the worst company! Please stop ordering and buying from them. I placed an order online for a gift card to be sent. The gift card was never sent and Nordstrom did not notify me. I called the customer service on 12/14 to figure out what the problem was, the first lady I spoke to said she had to transfer me to the online gift card department. I got transferred. Was on hold for 20 minutes before I hung up and called Nordstrom customer service back so they can cancel my order. The second lady I spoke to she said she was contacting the gift card department to cancel my order, I got put back on hold and waited for another 10 minutes before I randomly got transferred to a 3rd person. When I spoke to the 3rd person she said she was unable to cancel my order because it was still processing.
At this point I’m very frustrated so I asked to speak to a supervisor. I get placed on hold again and I’m transferred to another person that is not the supervisor. I ask again to be transferred to a supervisor, I get placed on hold to finally speak to a supervisor who apologized and lets me know my order been cancelled since 12/11 and that their system had a problem for some reason. He said when that happens I would have to call the support tech team to have them sort the problem.
At this point I am so mad I got transferred to all these different people just for the order to be cancelled. I let him know that this was terrible business why am I suppose to call because there system did not process my order, that should be an automatic since it was paid for and its not problem there system wasn’t working. He apologized again especially since I wasn’t notified and on my end it all it said was its processing. He then stated that I should see a refund within 72 hours. I’m still upset that I wasted my time trying to get this situation resolved. So I ask if I can be compensated for my time with a percentage off or something. He lets me know he unable to do that and I ask to speak to his boss.
I get transferred again. His supervisor apologized and tried to re-explain the problem and I let them know I don’t care. I’m asking to be compensated and he lets me know I would have to be transferred to the main Nordstrom to do that, he is unable to give me something. So at this point I’m ready to speak to corporate, I ask for their information. He unable to give me that. He then transferred to a team lead who lets me know Nordstrom does not compensate their guest and that they're able to redo my gift card. I was so pissed off. This was a waste of my time and terrible business. There no point in reaching out to corporate because they don’t do anything, your information would be passed to a department to have someone reach out and just to hear sorrys. I will never order from them again!
Update: I sent an email and got a response from a lady name Tiffany who was very rude and tried to correct me when I misspelled compensate and she let me know they don’t compensate for calling and gave me the wrong number to corporate. When I finally was able to have someone call me back from corporate they of course apologized and let me know that unfortunately there nothing they can do. It’s not in their contract to give out discount. I spoke to their highest person who apparently does not have a boss. The most they’re able to do is give me a free shipping. Which sounds ridiculous because I wont be ordering from them again. I will never buy from them again. Please stop giving this company money!

Please stop saying that you were discriminated against by Nordstrom. By reading the online reviews that show all of the Nordstrom stores across the USA, and my personal experience, it is clear that Nordstrom is horrible to all people, no matter the amount of melanin. They do not have a return policy posted, as they once had a good return policy, and that was why I chose to shop there, and know that I was making a good purchase. They now refuse to return anything unless it is brand new, within 30 days of purchase, in person.
Their Salespeople make 20% commission. Returns come back out of that salesperson's commission. Therefore, Nordstrom pays salespeople a low hourly wage, as the commission is added to the low rate, much like waitstaff needs tips. As the minimum wage went up, rather than Nordstrom make logical decisions to protect their once good name, they chose to trick people into buying items they once felt were somewhat guaranteed... And people find that out the hard way when they try to return items that are defective. The new employees never knew Nordstrom for what it was, and don't know that it was once owned by a family, not these new vulture capitalists that have made Nordstrom the most miserable place ever to be ridiculed and mocked by callous salespeople that seem to be in a competition to be as rude and degrading to the consumer as possible.
I am badly hurt by the way that I was abused by the employees at Nordstrom, and fear for my safety for coming out and explaining the possible reasoning for them allowing their salespeople to act so despicably. If you are a victim of maltreatment from Nordstrom, as another poster stated, please know that you are not alone. Another poster mentioned that these are signs of end of days...and nothing could be closer to the truth... As I had always felt safe and valued as a customer in Nordstrom... A home away from home. To now feel that I have just been through some type of hell with vile demons laughing at me as I explained that the salesperson told me if my purchase didn't work out, just bring it back... I had never needed or tried to return anything in the 30 years that I was myself a customer...
Now my entire family and friend group will never go there again after what they did to me... And please know what I learned as I researched the handbag I tried to return for falling apart... That the once fun and famous Anniversary Sale is full of second rate items that are not actual items carried in the store previously, or regularly. They are cheap versions of brands that they carry... And they put a few in each store for the sale... They never intend on accepting that merchandise as a return.

Nordstrom is the worst company ever. I placed an order #** for a bag worth $433.50 on June 17th 2023. I got a notification that my package was out for delivery on June 20th with a delivery company called UDS. I have never heard of them. Nobody rang the bell, or contacted me. I got a notification from Nordstrom that package was delivered to my mail room, not my apartment, as I had indicated my complete address as I work from home. I went to the mail room, and there was no package there for me. The courier company had left a picture with a proof of delivery that belongs to someone else and was delivered by FedEx on the 4th floor. The package has a different name on it, and was in a FedEx envelope. How does a bag fit in an envelope?
I contacted Nordstrom with all the pictures and proof that my package was not delivered. But they say, they are not responsible for the courier drivers, and the update is final. Since Nordstrom has taken it upon themselves to frustrate me this past two days for deciding to spend my money on their website I have spoken to over 10 different people regarding this. Nordstrom says that they are not able to refund me as the package already says it was delivered. I do not know what happened to using a professional delivery company that can be accounted for. You choose to give my package to a delivery company that have not be heard of, and now you saying you do not have control over the delivery company. Do not patronize Nordstrom. They willingly steal your money. They are thieves in broad day light!!!

I ordered clothing that arrived stained and damaged. I had to spend about 20 mins in a chat to get the issue "resolved". They offered me a refund or to replace the item, but I have to print a shipping label and mail out the old item. I don't have a printer at home and have to spend my own time and money for their inconvenience. They also only ship with USPS, there is no other option.
They offer nothing to compensate their customers for a mistake on their end. They did not even care to ask for a picture of the damage. I now have to wait another 4 days or so for my replacement item after already waiting for the arrival the first time. And I have to make sure and go out of my way to mail out the damaged item.

I asked for a refund along with asking for a gift card, and was told “we don’t give those.” (This is Nordstrom for goodness sake! I should’ve just ordered from Foot Locker).

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!

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.

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 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 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.

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.

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.

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!

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?

The order processed as normal and I received a order confirmation.
About a half hour later they cancelled my entire order for no reason. Said it was a credit issue. I contacted the credit department and was told they had to investigate and it would take 48 hours. SO, I re-ordered the exact same three items using my Visa debit card. Went thru just fine and I have received the products. I asked on three different occasions why my order was cancelled and to this day, have received no explanation. I'm done with them. There are plenty of other places to spend my money. They used to be the best and now they are the worst. Sad.

Ordered a pair of Adidas NMD's for sale. Received a pair of women's pants. Then they shipped me a pair of shoes in two different sizes. I had to return both and got a refund 2 months later. Did not even offer to honor my original sale. After giving Nordstrom my hard earned money for some shoes, I'm out $60 for two months and no shoes.

and asked about left-over shoe boxes. Instead of cordially explaining that they 'recycle' shoe boxes, she snapped at me in a very shrill tone of voice instead. I left the two pairs of shoes that I had intended to buy, along with their boxes, at the register. I didn't make any purchase at all, owing to the woman's rude rebuff. Not only did I find the woman's behavior rudely unacceptable, I wondered just why she became so flippant. Something seemed 'off' about how reflexively angry she got just because I asked about empty shoe boxes. That was a simple question and there really was no sane reason why someone should become so angry in response.
So I decided to call corporate customer care to ask whether it really IS the store's policy to keep empty shoe boxes now. As it was, I noticed another customer at the register to the right of me who had shoes AND shoe boxes in her bag. I really didn't think that I was doing something so shameful by asking for a couple of extra empty shoe boxes; managers have given them to me in the past whenever I would be making purchases. However, it's been months since I'd visited the store, and this is probably the first time I've asked about empty shoe boxes in over a year.
Anyway, when I called the main 888 customer care number, it was answered by a gentleman with a very thick Latino accent, who hurriedly informed me that because the issue occurred at a Nordstrom Rack store, that I needed to speak to someone there. So, he transferred the call. That call was answered by a lady with an even thicker Latino accent, whom I had difficulty understanding. She let me know that the number I had been transferred to only handled problems with the website! When I explained that the agent at the main number should have known better, she tried to connect me to someone who could help, but there was such difficulty in trying to understand her speech. I explained kindly that I needed to disconnect the call.
Then I tried using the company's online chat feature. That was a bust! First it was creepy because their system's surveillance recognized my legal name, but the name I entered on chat is the one I use informally when communicating with people by email and chat. So, somehow, Nordstrom's chat system has linked data from my Nordstrom account to my location/ISP, etc. Very invasive! As for the chat itself, the agent couldn't help because chat, too was just for addressing problems with online ordering! The chat agent said that when there's a problem, call the retail store! But if the problem is an issue with someone who could be one of the store's managers? What then? Do you bring the problem back to the person who failed to give you good service in the first place?
Trying to get good customer service has felt like playing 'Ring around the Rosie'; they've passed the buck over and over again! There was a time when Nordstrom was lauded for its superior customer service. No more! It looks like genuine customer service at Nordstrom has gone the way of buggy whips and button hooks.

I bought a pair of shoes from Nordstrom online. I bought a pair of 5.5 Adidas Ultra Boost DNA for $193! The top shoe. They were available in all sizes. When I received them, they were 9.5! I know I didn't push that button on my life! I called, told the customer care rep about the problem and he said that "You had to have pressed it, and that maybe I could sell them to a friend"! The rep told me that they didn't have my size and that they only had the 9.5. I am sending them back for a refund.
The next day, I looked online and saw that they only had 9.5 size shoes in the brand I wanted, leading me to think that the only size they had, when I ordered mine was the 9.5, and they were so desperate to make a sale, that they sent the 9.5 because the day before, that's all they had. Their response to my situation was cold, uncaring, and unprofessional, and I told them that I was a long time customer, and that they should admit to their actions as calculated and apologize. They refused. I am no longer a customer.

I wish I did not have to write this review, but since Nordstrom has gone downhill over the years to such a great extent, I don't see other options at this point. I've been an extremely loyal 30+ year shopper at Nordstrom. The Nordstrom of the 1980s and 1990s and its outstanding customer service were the reason I shopped there. Unfortunately, Nordstrom has changed dramatically. I returned one item purchased online four months ago, and was told by customer service to "make sure to take a photo of the return label, because the returns team "loses" things sometimes." I found that odd considering that Nordstrom themselves provided the return label, that they would have no record of it. I was glad I did take a photo, because they had no record of the return and had to "research it" to confirm it was delivered back to them for a full month and a half before I finally received my money back.
Not fun. Unfortunately, a worse scenario then presented itself. I ordered two clothing items and Nordstrom shipped me a different (wrong) item than the one I had ordered. I mailed that one back and now, over two months later and with six different conversations online and via telephone with customer service, I am told they are "looking into it" and have been told multiple times my refund is on its way. More than two months later, there is no refund and lots of bumbling on the Nordstrom end. The right hand does not know what the left is doing. No resolution whatsoever, although I keep getting promised that they are "working on it."
I do see other reviews in which many other customers are having the exact same very bad experience. If this is the "new" Nordstrom, I will definitely be shopping elsewhere. You have lost a loyal customer of 30+ years due to your repeated incompetent handling of returns and customer still not having their own money returned months later. If you enjoy not having your money rightfully returned to you for months, Nordstrom is your place.

Spoke to an employee who said the shoes I wanted was at another store and they can have it shipped to me. I told the employee I needed the shoes for an event one week later.
The employee swore that I would get them in 3-4 days… no later than 5 for sure! I ordered the shoes, I tracked my order and I was scheduled to receive them in 6 days (just in time for my event). I checked a couple days later and my order was pushed back by 4 more days (AFTER my event). I would have paid extra for overnight. I’m not ordering from Nordstrom’s ever again!

Not sure how this will affect my score but I was advised to seek counsel. (I did) and start a class action lawsuit.
This could be opportunity loss and I hope a my attorney does start a class action suit. This is unacceptable. FYI I have not been late on any payments either. I would also like to point out I never gave them permission to pull my credit and they gave me some dumb excuse.

I have been a loyal customer of Nordstrom’s for years. I have never had a problem go unresolved when contacting customer service until recently. Here is my experience. I recently returned two items by mail, along with other items that I haven’t been refunded for and Nordstrom customer service seems to have no idea what is going on with my returns nor are they able to process the refund at this time. I have never called Nordstrom customer service and spoken to someone who says “I don’t know... I’m sorry... this must be frustrating... but I don’t have an answer for you, you will have to wait and see..”
The first item is a pair of Tory Burch shoes I sent back in the same box as a Tory Burch handbag. I received a refund for the bag to my PayPal account. The shoes which were on my Nordstrom credit card and are visible in my purchase history have not been refunded. Upon contacting customer service the representative was able to see that the item was received or sent to their return review department on 1/8/21, today is 1/27/21 and still no refund. The customer service representative told me she could not issue a refund for the shoes even though she could clearly see Nordstrom had received the shoes on the 8th, that it is up to their return review department to process the refund. That she would send over a request to process the return and I will receive an email with a decision in 24-48 hours. A decision? The shoes in question were unworn, in original box, etc.. This alone is unnerving.
The other item was a Zella sweatshirt, also purchased on my Nordstrom credit card, viewable in my purchase history, that was sent back along with other items that have been credited back to my Nordstrom account. Again I was told by another representative that my return request was passed along to the returns review department and that I will receive an email with a decision in 24-48 hours. I received an email that simply stated my return request was denied. Not even a reason why they would deny the return. I called again, to find out why the return was denied. I was told by a 3rd representative that “they don’t know, and that they understand my frustration, and they are sorry, but there is nothing they can do except escalate the claim with the returns review department and that I will receive another decision via email in 24-48 hours.”
I called a 4th time thinking that possibly someone else might have better insight. I spoke to a supervisor who looked into the issue and said while she was able to see when the shoes arrived and they are accounted for, the sweatshirt is not accounted for. Is it missing? Did it fall in the floor? She doesn’t know, she doesn’t have access to that information and she is not able to process a refund for either item until they are reviewed by the returns department.
Never have I ever heard of the returns review department, nor have I ever had them referenced so many time regarding return status. I asked if this is a new policy. To which I was told, the return review department is nothing new, that all the returns are processed through them. Yet I have never had a problem with items missing from my mailed returns. And if I did I never had to wait 24-48 hours for a decision to be made. I sent an email to Nordstrom customer service referencing all of these issues, I am awaiting their response. However this has permanently affected my relationship with Nordstrom forever. Even if these issues are fixed within their customer service department, I can never trust again that my returns made by mail will be processed correctly.
Part of the joy of shopping with Nordstrom was the ease of which you could send back items by mail, combine items from multiple orders, and never have to worry about if and when your account will be credit. Now I would feel that I’d be gambling sending items back by mail, since I have had two items go missing in the last month that were returned by mail. I would feel that I have to watch my mailed returns like a hawk to make sure they are received, properly processed, and credited back to my account. And if not? What is my recourse? To call customer service to be told I’m out of luck? Because that is what I’m being told. Unfortunately I made both of these purchases with my Nordstrom store credit card, or I have raised the issue with my credit card company in the fir of a dispute against Nordstrom.
I did call Nordstrom credit department who told me at this time I can’t raise a dispute against the store. I can’t even think of another time where I have felt so helpless and at the mercy of a company to just do the right thing. Never again. There are too many other retailers out there to be bothered. I hope this complaint reaches someone who cares enough to set Nordstrom straight. At the least I hope it serves as a warning to anyone who buys online or returns through the mail with Nordstrom that their customer service is not what it once was, and that customer satisfaction is not a priority to Nordstrom anymore. To everyone else that is voicing similar concerns with the level of, or lack thereof, of customer service, you are not alone.

I have a serious problem. My sister (Ashley **) ordered my daughter a pair of Hunter rain boots from Nordstrom. She ordered them, I believe around the first of December because they were intended to be a Christmas present. I'm not sure of the exact date they were delivered but when I received them we noticed they were a size too small. Easy fix right? Wrong! I called and Rep#1 told me we could exchange them easily. He said he issued an exchange and they would be sent out with a shipping slip to return the ones that were too small. He was super nice and I thought the problem was solved. I was excited about this arrangement because my sister had gotten the other ones sent in a gift box. Of course it was just a few days before Christmas so I knew the new ones wouldn't be here in time for Christmas but I figured it wouldn't be long after so no big deal.
I waited two weeks before calling because I thought with the holidays it might be longer delivery times. When I called Rep#2 told me the exchange was never processed and he kept putting me on hold, which eventually ended with him hanging up on me. So I called back and spoke with Rep#3. I told her the person I was just speaking with hung up on me. She never apologized for that. She proceeded to tell me that Nordstrom doesn't do exchanges that way and that Rep#1 had told me wrong and that I would need to pay for an entire new pair to get an exchange and they would refund me when they received the pair that was too small. I told her that it was a gift so that wasn't possible.
That's when she told me that the pair we wanted was no longer available. That was a little weird since they had many sizes available just a few hours before but I would have been happy to get any exchange at this point seeing as it was well after Christmas and my daughter still hadn't received her gift from my sister. Rep#3 proceeded to let me know that since that boot was no longer available that I would have to ship the old pair back and they would send me a gift card since it was a gift to pick something else out for her. She said she emailed the shipping slip and all I needed to do was pack everything up and send it back with the slip. So of course I never received the email. I got on the website and started a return. There was an option for gifts where a gift card would be issued once the return was received so I of course clicked that option and did as instructed.
I kept up with the tracking number and noticed it was delivered to a return agent on January 15th so I called Nordstrom. I spoke with Rep#4 and told her the return had been delivered and no one had contacted me or my sister to issue any kind of refund or gift card. She told me that normally Nordstrom does not issue gift cards. That it usually goes back to original payment. I questioned this because why would there be an option for gift card for gifts on the website if you don't intend on issuing them to people in my situation. Finally rep#4 decided to ask someone else and came back on the line to tell me that yes she could put in a request for a gift card and it would be sent over email within two business days so by Monday I should have it. This was fine, of course I'm super frustrated about it taking nearly a month and a half to get this resolved but finally she will get her rain boots.
I then chatted with Rep#5 to make sure the gift card was issued and we wouldn't have to wait any longer. I also wanted to let someone know what had happened because I was pretty frustrated at this point. I thought it was absolutely crazy that Nordstrom had received the boots that were too small and didn't even care enough to issue any type of refund even though my sister spent nearly 100$ on your product between the cost of the boots, shipping, and gift wrapping. Rep#5 told me she was sorry for the inconvenience but at least I have my gift card now (which I do not have it yet). I asked her if there was anyone I could speak with about this issue and she gave me this email address.
Not sure if I will actually get any kind of response but this was ridiculous. My daughter will not get her Christmas gift until almost February because of problems that your representatives created. I've talked with five people and had five different stories (excuses) for this issue not being resolved in a timely manner. I wanted to tell someone about what happened because I'm hoping this might reach someone that cares about the business you are running and hopefully you can get this problems fixed before they happen to someone else. That's pretty much it, thanks for your time and I hope you have a lovely day! Sincerely, Staci **.

Their online chat doesn't seem to work at all and it took me over 40 minutes on hold to speak with someone who said I'd hear back in another 48-72 hours, losing time on my Christmas gift arrivals. I just wanna cancel my order at this point but they won't let me. I've made some other purchases from Nordstrom in the past and I'm always surprised at how long the items take to receive. Buyer beware when it comes to Nordstrom.

Nordstrom discriminates against me. I ordered online, pickup in store the item, Estée Lauder Perfectionist Pro Rapid Brightening Treatment Serum with Ferment2 + Vitamin C on December 10, 2020 at 1:57 AM and Nordstrom canceled the order in the same day at 11:11 AM because the item is no longer available at the Nordstrom Southcenter store while it was shown available in store for pickup. I ordered online for pickup in store again on December 12, and again Nordstrom canceled the order with the same reason while that item is always shown available to be picked up.
I will reorder every day to prove that Nordstrom is discriminating against me. This is not the first time Nordstrom discriminates against me. Long time ago when I used to come to the store buying skincare products, I could not buy products if salespeople were not ** or Asian. I had to buy products from ** or Asian salespeople otherwise I could buy nothing. Nobody helps me to protect my rights. I thought now I buy online I can avoid the discrimination, but it is not.

Ordered two items from Nordstrom which totaled nearly $90.00. Received a pair of $20 earrings. When I called customer service was told I would have to send those back and they will refund w/in 2 weeks after they receive. RIDICULOUS that they hold my money until they receive the wrong item back that they sent. Been a week since I mailed back USPS and the package is still in transit. SMH.

BEWARE Nordstrom uses cut rate carrier UDS for shipping in the Midwest. My daughter only asked for two things for Christmas (both from Nordstrom) which I promptly purchased 2 days before Thanksgiving. I placed 3 additional orders over the Black Friday weekend. I have yet to receive an order. I received an order confirmation and shipping confirmation for the first order immediately so, I patiently waited for the package to arrive. It was suppose to arrive within 48 hours, but I knew there was higher than normal volume for package shipping, so I wasn’t concerned.
Things changed on day 6 when I received a shortage message from UDS. On day 7, I received a damaged message and I promptly called Nordstrom. The customer service rep said that the carrier could not locate the package so he would issue a refund and reorder my items. Unfortunately, only one item was available. I asked him to process the request quickly before it sold out and he said no problem and I should receive a shipping confirmation in 24 hours.
After 24 hours, I did not receive the confirmation and called Nordstrom again. Not only had the representative not issued the refund but he also did not reorder the remaining item and it was now sold out. The only response I received from Nordstrom was, "I’m sorry this happened!!" I have been a loyal Nordstrom customer and have always received excellent customer service... until now. I ordered over half my Christmas list from Nordstrom and have yet to receive it. In a year when we all could use something to smile about, my Christmas tree has nothing under it because Nordstrom let me down. I guess I’ll be shopping at Bloomingdale’s for replacement gifts.

Th in is company has enforced some absolutely insane policy that unless you are WEARING A MASK AT ALL TIMES....you canNOT breathe in their store. Was literally yelled at by 4-5 employees and watched how they PANICKED when I walked into the Fashion Square Scottsdale location....without a mask. Last I checked....there is NO LAW....there is also not even a mandate in Scottsdale....and the lawmakers know this....that is why so many of them are caught in large groups or not wearing a mask frequently.

It means NOTHING now to be Covid +....I am a nurse....I know this.

I have been a customer for over 20 years with a credit limit of over 20k from paying off every purchase I ever bought. I loved, loved their shoes due to having bad feet. Right before covid I made some 1k and 2k purchases that totaled about 6k, the very last purchase they denied because they said what I was buying was a scam and couldn't authorize it unless I paid off my entire balance.
First and foremost when did they become so entitled to how I spent my hard earned wages, and how dare they treat a consumer of this integrity this way. Well long story short, Covid hit and we all lost our jobs.. Now they are threatening and harassing me to pay off the card with probably wanting to do who knows what. Here's the truth of the matter, when I knew it was to keep a roof over my head and pay house bills or pay them what they were asking with UE checks, well all you fellow Americans what would you do??? They are arrogant and rude over the phone. Not to mention I sent them a letter saying I would start to pay as soon as I possibly could with much regret and sorrow due to my own dignity. Still they won't stop.

I was home when my package was “delivered” but I NEVER received my package. I called to let them know the situation. The customer care/deliver research sent me a follow up email in 3 days, saying “After concluding our internal investigation, we have confirmed successful delivery of the package with all items present. At this time, Nordstrom has made the decision not to issue a refund of replacement as was requested” but the thing is when I called the contact number provided in the email, they were NOT able to provide ANY proof that my package was delivered. So, the “internal investigation” was just a lie, their confirmation of “successful deliver“ was also a lie. I don’t believe they even contacted the carrier because when I requested them to ask the carrier for a proof they said the carrier usually takes 7 days to respond. Yea, so if that’s the case, how did they “confirm the successful delivery” in 3 days? I mean, HOW?
Also, in the email they encouraged me to set up an UPS My Choice account, which I Already have and the deliveries from the other companies all showed up on my dashboard except for Nordstrom. Whoever sent me the email was just an irresponsible and unethical liar. They should have contacted the carrier to ask for proof of delivery or filed a claim on my behalf to compensate for my loss. Instead, they just lied and asked me to file a police report of stolen items. This is totally not acceptable because this means that the driver can just dump all packages to a dumpster and call it a day and never ever has to actually deliver the package since nobody cares to file a claim.
In addition, when I clicked on the tracking number, the website said it was delivered to “mailbox”. So whose mailbox? My mailbox is narrow and shallow (5 inch wide 5 inch deep). I don’t believe my package can fit in there. It’s not ok to ask me to file a police report for a package as stolen when it’s likely never delivered in the first place. Also, it made zero sense to deliver to a mailbox when I was HOME. No point to waste everyone’s time looking for a “stolen” package if it’s never delivered in the first place. Also, even if the driver just delivered my package to the wrong address, it’s still the carrier’s responsibility to compensate for me, NOT the police. Nordstrom should have filed a claim and held the carrier accountable but they totally failed to do so but lied instead. My experience is beyond terrible. There are other better places to shop where you can receive the customer care that every customer deserves.

I subscribed to Nordstrom Trunk based on a friend's very pleased recommendation. I did not receive similar satisfaction. Nordstrom Trunk might as well have been StitchFix, which offers a similarly disappointing "personalization" claim and cheap clothing offers. I quit my Nordstrom Trunk subscription after three deliveries and concluded the following: 1) "My" stylist was not really mine, nor possibly a human. I felt unheard and just another cog in a capitalistic enterprise, which in not the customer service excellence that Nordstrom prides itself on.
2) I conclude the enterprise must use an algorithm to "predict" what I will like based on my initial "application." e.g., a) No matter how many times I asked not to receive "baby-doll" style clothing, the package always included at least one, if not three items unflattering and inappropriate for a 60+ year old woman with a sizable bust. b) I abhor polyester clothing and, in spite of stating this multiple times, always received some poorly made and flimsy polyester item. c) I intensely dislike - and never wear - neon colors, yet always received at least one neon-color piece. 3) Nordstrom must have a warehouse stuffed full of cheap-ish clothing that it needs to unload to attain a profit margin.
4) The attempt at personalization, such as having "my" stylist contact me via email felt inauthentic and rote. Again, I felt that the enterprise uses a message contact algorithm to ask me to preview "my" trunk contents, yet, the contents rarely reflected those choices. 5) I repeatedly stated preferences for certain brands, yet out of three Trunks, just two pieces were that brand. Lastly, 6) Exchanges never happened. Whenever I - rarely - found an item I wanted in another size, it never was available. In conclusion, I feel that the Nordstrom Trunk experience really is not a Nordstrom effort and that they must be jobbing it out to an outside enterprise. In no way did it reflect or deliver the higher product quality and excellence in customer service I have experienced from Nordstrom during my 30+ years of shopping there (in person).

After a 45 min wait I got through and thought this was resolved although I did not have much confidence because the representative requested my credit card information again. I now received a receipt stating I ordered another perfume. Not to mention I was told that the free gifts were canceled, which my order did not state.

I sat on the line hoping they would realize they picked up but no they continued their conversation. Eventually I think they realized I was on the phone, they were listening to me speak about my frustration with a family member and then my call was transferred to the main message.

I came home and saw on my two legs on the ankles were wounds from these rain boots. I treated my feet with an antiseptic and iodine. I thought that in a few days everything will be good but my right leg was swollen, a deep wound was appeared. I can’t step on my leg, I can’t walk and I can’t work. I went to the hospital, and they told me that I need to go to the emergency room. The doctor looked at my leg and said that it has a serious infection, due to the fact that the shoes material is very stiff and my legs were worn out. These rain boots injured my ankles and because of that I have an infected wound.
Doctors diagnosed Cellulitis is a common, potentially serious bacterial skin infection. The affected skin appears swollen and red and is typically painful and warm to the touch. They prescribed me strong antibiotics, they said if it doesn’t go away within two more days, then I have to come to the hospital again. This diagnosis is because of your shoes which I purchased from you. The shoes are very very stiff and rub my ankles very hard when worn. I have all the supporting documents that will confirm my serious injury. Now I can’t walk, which is why I canceled all my scheduled meetings. These shoes brought harm to my health, now it’s not clear what will happen to my leg. Why does Nordstrom sell shoes that cripple people? And I got a serious injury and infection? Why Nordstrom doesn’t mention on the website about these boots’ Stiff material???
Why Nordstrom doesn’t say on the website that these boots have very rough stitches? Why I have to endure so much pain and material costs because of the shoes that I bought and thought that they are beautiful and good, as a brand with a worldwide reputation? Why I have to cancel business meetings because I have to deal with these injuries that were caused by these rain boots? It's all wrong!

Searching for clothing online, Nordstrom often comes up high in the list of available merchants. This was my first online, and last ever, purchase from Nordstrom. When my purchase failed to arrive far beyond the due date, I queried the company as to why it had not shipped yet. It was clear from the emails of both Nordstrom, and UPS that, while Nordstrom had filed the shipping order, and UPS was aware that the shipping order had been placed, UPS never received the package from Nordstrom to ship the item. UPS was still awaiting the package at the time of my inquiry to Nordstrom.
Nordstrom responded with an "Oh my, it seems UPS did not pick up the package. We're claiming it as lost". Without accepting fault on their part, and without an apology for the irresponsible shipping they never provided, they refunded my money without ever contacting me. They obviously could have simply said they were sorry, and ask if I still wanted the item, but made no attempt to accept their responsibility for their shoddy business practice. They suggested I start over, and they'd cover shipping up to $20 in further shipping. When I replied to them that the fault was squarely on Nordstrom, and not the UPS, and that I had not asked for a refund, nor would I "start over", I received nothing further in the way of a response nor remedy. Clearly they no longer had the item.
Summary: Did not fill the order fully. Did not accept responsibility for that fact. Did not offer any customer friendly solution for their error, and while I explained that this had been a gift order, still received zero courtesy for their error. Nordstrom is not an inexpensive retailer, and because of this, I had expected a professional standard in terms of purchasing, shipping, and customer service. Not so, not at all. While I have used Nordstrom stores in the area, I will not be supporting the company further. There are too many options for consumers to accept this debacle, and seriously poor remedy and customer service.

In a week or so, I returned and was met by a young woman in sales who provide me with a perfect shirt to match my previous purchase. My shirt needed the sleeves raised and a tailor was called for the fitting. Now this shirt, being a dress shirt would normally be worn by tucking in the shirt tails. I am retired and normally wear my shirt tails out, so with the Certified Fitter, we decided to also alter the tails of the shirt in the fashion of an "un tucked " shirt. 90% of the time my shirt will be worn in that fashion.

Store: Alpharetta, GA, USA. Issue: Customer could not open box (online purchase) due to disability. Cashier Novelette mocked the customer, rolled her eyes, and refused to help open the box when politely asked, then refused to call management when requested, causing disabled customer extreme distress and worsening of health while in the store. While waiting for management, Novelette speaks with other customers to mock the disabled customer, further. Once the Assistant Manager comes to where the customer is, Novelette persists in mocking the customer behind his back, but facing the customer. Novelette acted severely abusively. The Assistant Manager admitted to knowing Novelette has "aggression issues". Why employ her in Customer SERVICE, then?
Further abusive, the Corporate Management team stonewalls this matter, then lies through their teeth about the abuse with 'We see it differently.' Guess what?

Nordstrom used to be the best when it came to customer service. Sadly that is no longer the case. During their recent Anniversary Sale they cancelled 4 orders saying the items were out of stock. All of the merchandise was in stock when I placed the orders. One item sat in a "Getting Ready" status for two weeks. No one would check on why it was still sitting in that status until 10 business days. Even at 10 days it took 3 calls to reach someone that would check on the order. She checked and found that the item was now out of stock. So I placed an order for something similar. The order arrived yesterday - correct packing slip, wrong item shipped. And now that item is also out of stock. I had to package it up and make a trip to the post office to return it. I used to be able to return items purchased online to the Nordstrom Rack which is close to my home. That also is no longer the case. Nordstrom no longer seems to be interested in the customer.

Continued calling and referred to Financial Services number which required a call back. 3 days later received an email that I’m banned because I returned 95 percent. All returns were new, never used, all tags attached resealable and returns were made at store so no shipping costs. I’m disappointed because online shopping requires tries before you know. I’m disabled so most of my purchases were seeking “comfort” shoes that fit my troubled feet. No warnings, I did not even get the certified letter they say they send.
I’m a senior and been shopping Nordstrom my entire life. It is really sad they could not warn before banning. Many want to believe those banned abused the return policy. Returning resealable goods is not abuse. Beware this can easily happen to you. I’m a well educated honest upstanding citizen. No funny business or Fraud. All items perfect. Be careful. I think they flag all returns 70 percent or higher so that means buying 2 sizes and keeping one could land you at 50% quick. Don’t trust talking to then.

Dallas Galleria Customer service contact info needed. I had a terrible experience today. A Nordstrom store manager had an opportunity to turn a frown into a smile but chose not to. I was informed I had an invalid or inactive gift card although your sales associate opened the card. After he tried 3 times and had the same conclusion I paid with my debit card and left the store confused and frustrated because I received the card as a gift.
On the way home I verified the card was valid and then phone customer svc. Lisa with cust svc agreed the card was valid and instructed me to return to the store even after driving 10 miles from the store. I returned, shared the concern with Erich. He apologized, refunded $100 to honor the gift card. When compensation questioned regarding inconvenience and travel he offered me a cup a coffee. I informed him of my dissatisfaction. He stated he had to activate the card and stuck with the lie. He provided a Father's Day meal that I had already earned. Disgusted and devastated.
I previously worked for Nordstrom Rack and I am extremely familiar with processing a gift card. The sales associate made an honest mistake and this should have been a teachable moment. Instead I was further insulted and humiliated. Erich even offered me $20 for time and asked me what did I want him to do. Such questions should not be asked. What if I had stated a shopping spree or even a more absurd response, terminate the sales associate. I only wanted to be treated fairly with dignity and respect. I should be valued as a customer.
Offering coffee to a premenopausal female is an added insult...perception. Sensitivity training is definitely needed because my conversation with Erich occurred with two sales associates witnessing the entire conversation. Erich stated Lisa in customer svc instructed me incorrectly because the matter could have been resolved over the phone. I’m the only one who lost something here, Faith in being valued by a preferred retailer.

Nordstrom used to be great to work with as far as ordering items online, but something has happened recently to their company. Many of the items they send look as though they have already been worn or used in some capacity. And then, when you request an exchange or return, it becomes a lengthy process. I received a worn pair of shoes from them, exchanged them for another, which was also damaged. I returned both but they claim they only received one pair. I have proof of sending both back and they refuse to credit my card so I've filed a dispute and they are fighting the charge the whole way through even though I am 100% in the right and have the return receipts to prove it.

Been buying from Nordstrom for many years. Lately for the last several months my purchases are arriving dirty, defected designer jewelry packaged only in a plastic bag! Boxes of jewelry items destroyed or crushed,jewelry items are either worn returns or defects! Garments arriving with warehouse debris and dust as if the floor and shelves were wiped with my item! Purchased a chemical skincare item with no direction booklet included! Now I buy this skincare line all the time everywhere, Estee Lauder always includes a booklet. If I purchase a item and then its sold out after I make the purchase I receive a defect, broken or worn piece of jewelry! Nordstrom is not what it used to be. That's a fact and my experience as a long time shopper to this company. I make complaints and it is still being shipped to me in this unsavory manner. I find myself having to make returns because some of my purchases are truly unacceptable.
Nordstrom needs to get it together. Plain & simple. It's hit or miss if you shop online and some of the store reps make faces at you when you make a return which is not great customer service! Call and complain, expect retaliation for your next order and exactly what I'm experiencing as of now. I shop everywhere and never went through anything like this! Shop on foot or spend your money somewhere where it is appreciated. Problems are never solved! Huge problem with jewelry items so do your homework with jewelry and buy it somewhere else!

Pants are great, however watch-out for their cheating practices when charging your card. They placed a $324 authorization hold for the original total purchase. Then, because they shipped items separately, they ALSO charged my card the value of each individual shipment. So basically, they have now tied-up with authorizations & charges a total of $648 of my money, for the purchase of $324. And the run-around they gave me for my 40-minutes time, is that they are sorry for the inconvenience but not to worry because the original $324 will drop-off in 3-5 business days. My bank advised that if Nordstrom will call my bank, authorize them to remove the initial $324, my bank will do that immediately. But no, Nordstrom obviously doesn't give a ** about their customers.

Recently I bought a sweater from Nordstrom online. When I received the sweater it was obviously tried on more than a few times at the store that it was sent from. I did not even try the sweater on because it smelled of so many various types of perfume and mustiness. I immediately repackaged it, filled out the slip saying “do not want” and sent it back. Yesterday I received a package from UPS with a signature required. Inside the package was the very same stinky sweater sent back to me from Nordstrom saying that they were not granting my return because it was obviously worn. You can tell by the date I receive the sweater and the date it was sent back that it would’ve been impossible for me to be the one to have worn the sweater and created such a vast amount of funk and perfume.
I am disappointed that they would send a sweater out to me in that shape, but even more disappointed that it would be suggested that I’m the one who wore it and returned it. The mailing that was sent to me was not only offensive to me, but in my opinion very unprofessional. Not that it should matter but I am a top level 4 Nordstrom cardholder and spend thousands of dollars each month at Nordstrom, so the idea that I would return a sweater like this with this amount of wear and funk is ridiculous.
As I stated before you can see from the return date to the received date that there was only a few hours in between. I went to the post office within an hour of receiving the sweater to return it back to them. And I have the UPS confirmation email and the receipt to prove this from USPS. I have had a few other unfortunate return issues with their online service in the past and this one has put me over the edge. Nordstrom, you are a big disappointment! Needless to say I am officially through with Nordstrom and I am going to be taking my shopping elsewhere.

I ordered leather jacket during the Thanksgiving period in '18 that supposed to entitle a $50 gift card in January for that purchased item over $250. However, I never received that gift card email. Sent them an email in January and never received a response. Even worse, I called in February to hear that the promotion had expired. The reward people including the supervisor John checked and found out that they made mistake not including me on the recipient list for gift cards but they can't do anything about it. Then John commented that it is interesting if I write a review with unsatisfactory experience. This large corporate seems to have a long way to improve their customer services unfortunately.

After years of shopping at Nordstrom, my dismay in discovering the department formally known as "Petite" no longer exists was disappointing at best. I am sincerely outraged and insulted as a 5'2" woman that I am no longer welcome to shop in your stores and regulated to online only. Is Nordstrom's only catering to a certain height/shape and age woman? Half the female population is under 5'4" and I counted on finding non cookie cutter fashion in your petite department. Further insult seems to be the trend was started with consultation from the Kardashians. Seriously! That is so offensive! Bring back your petite department, otherwise I have little or no motivation to shop at your store.

I made a purchase this morning from Nordstrom.com. I used my Nordstrom Credit Card. Instead - my personal bank account was deducted for this amount. I do not have any credit cards saved on the website. I tried calling several times to their customer service and got nowhere. I refunded what I bought and the cash did not instantly come back to my bank card. I'm frustrated that I don't have access to my cash that they took from a different card than the one I used. NEVER ordering again online!! And on top of that they accessed my Facebook page without asking and sending me receipts to my message folder. I don't want receipts sent to my Facebook page. I only want ONE receipt sent to my email that I provided. That receipt service they are involved with is called HADLEY.

I bought enough merchandise to receive a $50 gift card for the Cyber Monday promotion. The gift card never arrived. After visiting the retail store asking about its arrival, the employees just kept stating it will arrive soon. When I checked on the website customer service chat system they told me it was expired even though I never even received it. They will not honor it. Nordstrom has the worst service! I feel like it was a fraudulent promotion. Be aware!
