    Nordstrom worked with me management and corporate to resolve these matters. They were very pleasant,courteous and professional which I'm thankful for because I been shopping with Nordstrom for almost 20 years. Resolved!

    Original Review: May 4, 2019

    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!

    I recently placed another order on Nordstrom.com. I have placed many orders over the last 10 years and never had any problems... until now. My order was cancelled and I was not notified. After several calls and emails over a 3 week period I was finally told, after a 30 minute call and hold, that the order was cancelled because one of their representatives entered my email wrong and that their 3rd party verification company needed to verify some information. One piece of that info was my Social Security number. I do not have a Nordstrom credit card so I felt there was no need to provide my SS#. I was then told that my orders will continue to be cancelled without providing a Social. Nordstrom.... you are losing a family of shoppers because of this. Get yourself together please and get back to providing the customer service I have been accustom to. Your customer service is the only reason why I shop with you.

    I submitted my first payment to the card and received a confirmation email that the payment went through. Just under a month later (why so long is unacceptable), I received a letter in the mail that it didn't go through and I called immediately to set it right. The customer service agent did the payment on the phone with me to make sure it was done correctly (they have a voice recording of this). Again I received a confirmation email. I checked 2 days later and my balance was at 0. A few weeks later I received a call that I was reported to the credit bureau. No letter, no email saying payments didn't go through. Supposedly the banking info was missing 3 digits so why would I get a confirmation email?

    Management felt I had a case and sent my info forward to dispute the case. Upper-level management didn't even look at it and I got a general letter saying by law they must report me - no information about my dispute at all showing they didn't bother looking at it. Of course, they don't have an ombudsman in order for me to make a proper complaint.

On arrival, the robe was (not exaggerating one bit) stuffed in small box, INSIDE OUT, WITHOUT the satin belt, and the card (always typed in past) was handwritten in child like scribble.

    I received a certified letter from Nordstrom today (April 2019) telling me I am banned from shopping at any Nordstrom store or online because of my “excessive” returns. No advance warning. I never returned anything worn. Every item had a tag on it. I’ve spent tens of thousands at Nordstrom over the decades and with online shopping returns are necessary because you don’t know how it’ll look on you. I am disappointed. I called and was told that if I try to shop there my card would be declined. Absolutely ridiculous.

    Nordstrom is not the Nordstrom that it used to be. I ordered a pair of shoes and decided to return them. They only give you free shipping with USPS which doesn't give you tracking information when you bring into a UPS store that has it mailed. I called Nordstrom since it had been 2 weeks and I thought I should receive a credit on my credit card but they tell me that it takes 3 weeks to get an email confirmation that they received and then will put through a credit. They certainly know how to take your money very quickly but receiving it back is a pain! I buy shoes from Zappos, Amazon, etc and as soon as you bring them to UPS - boom you receive a credit. That's good business and a way to receive repeat business. Nordstrom - bad business practices and no repeat customer here!!!!

    Today I got the shoes ordered by online and I couldn’t help not being upset. I ordered and paid for a pair of new shoes but it definitely looked that someone used it. I felt rather poorly. Online shopping is based on a trusty but this experience with Nordstrom online shopping frustrated me. How used and dirty shoes can be delivered? It is against common sense. The bottom is covered by dirt and a little piece of glue or gum was on it and the side part of inside of a shoe has stain on it. I had a high opinion of Nordstrom but this online shopping experience made me disappointed. And I contacted to customer center and the lady told me only ‘Sorry...’. She made an exchange order for me but the color was different one!! It was really awful.

    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. Best part (yes there is more) they tell me I can try calling their Credit Team, at 800#, but "they would also provide you with the same information".

    So I have been a long time customer doing on average $2k to $3k a year. They claimed they falsely priced some items I purchased and even after they shipped it out, they asked UPS to return to warehouse my shipment. Then first customer service said it's out of stock. I called liar, so first manager said some mix up like price or inventory or something. I'm not sure. So I call BS again, then they call me with higher ** speaking manager and she just outright said the price they offered was too good and they changed their mind!!! So once you order, I guess they decide if they want the sale or not. Sounds more like eBay bid than purchase. I will be taking my business essay elsewhere!!!

    Need to stop supporting this store. I purchased a 665.00 pair of Manolo Blahnik, they came in a box no tissue. A scuff mark they looked like I got them from Nordstrom Rack! I asked for a new pair in new condition with a dust bag. Second pair arrived via the USPS not even UPS and the tissue was waded up and strewn everywhere and it had a used Jimmy Choo dust bag in it. It came from the Charlotte store. I called CS and they stated, "Yes that’s bad but there’s nothing we can do." I said, "So you have messed this up twice and you can do nothing" and the manager Jacylyn or Jackie said, "Yes that's correct. Our policy is to never make a price adjustment." They are now the absolute WORST of all the retailers! The used 665.00 dollar pairs of shoes are going back! What a fall from Grace. This store has done best to worst in just a few years! I hope upper mgt reads this but with the lazed attitude of the Managers it is doubtful!

    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.

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.

    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 work directly across the street from Nordstrom Rack in White Plains. I have been TRYING to shop there since the day it opened year ago. The cashiers seem so lazy and disgruntled. They will do anything than take another customer. They seemed annoyed to do their job. Time and time again I get fooled. I get online with a few people in front of me and three persons at manning the cashiers. And then when I look up from my phone 15 minutes later I see the cashiers have disappeared or are slowing folding the returns are placing tickets on the items.

    Ninety-five percent of the time I complain and then give up leaving my items at the register. I did this today and three people walked out with me. With retail store closing by the second how can Norstrom Rack continually employ lazy and apathetic people or maybe they need to give them some sort of incentive to move the line quicker. Over the years I could have spent thousands in that store having a family of 4 and working across the street. But I rather get my shopping done at the malls located five blocks in either direction.

It is baffling to me that a company of this size DOES NOT do exchanges. On top of that, they charge me a shipping fee to return the shoes on an online order. This is some 1990 BS.

    I have been a regular customer at Nordstrom for YEARS. This past year has been a complete nightmare. Their online/mail returns department is an absolute joke. I have had SEVERAL orders go "missing" when I returned them using prepaid labels or they have updated the WRONG items - they mark an item which I did not return as returned as opposed to the actual item, or I have returned a couple of items in the same package but they claim only one of those items are in the box.

    The last time I notified the returns department that they refunded me for the WRONG item (AGAIN) they claimed that based on their research this is an on-going issue and they are not going to refund me for the other item. Yeah, it's an on-going issue because their lazy returns department doesn't bother to open the box, scan the items in the box, and refund the correct items - but they are pointing the finger at me and claiming that I am lying about which items I have actually returned. I don't believe for a second that the research department staff does anything more than just sit and replies to emails and not physically verify any packages. This is a joke. I am out hundreds of dollars because of their incompetence. This is the only retailer where I have had this issue, time and time again.

    I have shopped at Nordstrom for many, many years. I currently have 97 pairs of shoes I purchased from them in my closet, not counting ones I have worn out or given away. I also buy six or seven dresses a year. A month ago I got a letter from them saying that although they tried to be really nice to their customers, they were canceling my account due to "excessive returns", that I was taking advantage of their kindness and good nature, and that I could not purchase anything from Nordstrom online ever again, no one in my family was eligible to purchase anything from Nordstrom, no one in my household was eligible to purchase anything from Nordstrom, and I was not even allowed to purchase anything from any Nordstrom store ever again. I had never received any previous communication regarding this issue and the letter sounded as though it were written by a spoiled eight year old.

    Since they make quite a big deal offering shipping-free returns, I could find no limit mentioned anywhere, this is obviously a highly successful marketing strategy, not some wonderful generosity on their part - and my rate of returns hasn't changed in 20 years - I called to ask why. Also to ask, realistically, how they thought they would stop me from shopping there if I were determined?! I got no response after several phone calls and messages. I finally called the fraud number on my credit card, since I had a $379 CREDIT balance and I at least wanted my money refunded. They told me that they would have eventually done that. I asked them to go ahead and send me a check now. They did - but they shorted me $20!

    I ordered an item a couple weeks before Christmas. Nordstrom guaranteed (in bright red font) that my items would arrive before Christmas. I received a confirmation email immediately after the order was placed. I waited a week for a tracking number before calling for the order status. The CSR informed me that my order will be arriving after Christmas, but no later than the 28th. This is obviously very upsetting news. Then one day before the new expected delivery date, I get a refund for the order because it has been cancelled.

    I check to see if the item is out of stock or something, however, that was not the issue. I called CSR again and she initially said the item was not in stock, but I told her it is available for order on the website. She confirms that it is in stock. When trying to re-order, the CSR asked me to pay for the full price of the item, when I had originally purchased at 30% off. All of this is way too much trouble for a simple order! All of my other online orders were delivered before Christmas -- as promised. I am a very unhappy Nordstrom customer.

When I emailed customer service to let them know they have inaccurate information on their site, and that I never would have spent $270 on shoes made in China, they apologized and sent me a link to print a return label so I did not have the "inconvenience of driving back to the store." I sent the boots back, tracking showed they were received but 5 days later I still hadn't been refunded. Emailed customer service who said "we did receive the return sent Dec 7th. It was received Dec 11th. We are still within our 10-14 days to process. Then it will be 3-5 days to receive your refund."

    WHAT THE HECK??!! NEVER did customer service say it would be 2-3 WEEKS before I was refunded! Nowhere on the link with the shipping label did it say that either! I would have driven an hour to the store! When I email them or chat, they just keep stating the 10-14 days. One flippant rep sent me a link that stated the return time. However, she did not wish to acknowledge that I never would have seen that because I did not buy them online. I bought them IN the store and they emailed me offering to allow me to ship them back. The email and the link I was sent said nothing about their archaic 1980's return time frame. Horrible customer service. It is the week before Christmas and I am still waiting to be refunded for a return sent out 2 weeks ago. Nordstrom has great customer service IN the store. Do NOT ever buy anything online or return via mail. The service stinks and is insanely slow.

    I ordered a pair of sandals in November as Nordstrom was the only place in North America that I could find these shoes in my size. I was very excited. They were first sent out and the wrong address (it should have been Champlain New York) was on it from the women who took my order over the phone from Nordstrom. So From there they got sent to a post office in Massachusetts. I was told once they got returned to the Nordstrom warehouse, they’d be sent out. Instead It got sent out to someplace in Elizabethtown Pennsylvania??!! Where I was told a week ago that they would then be sent to me.

    Today, a month later, I was told that they are the “fulfillment“ Center but they can’t find them so I can have a refund or the shoes in black! I have the shoes in black that is why I tried to order another pair because the shoes are fantastic (Pas De Rouge)... What a waste of time! Never again! I hope they are better at least with the refund. Surprising for a store that has good customer service at the stores. It’s like night and day! This has soured my feelings about Nordstrom.

    I placed an order with Nordstrom. I was charged over $332 but got an immediate email that they had to cancel "part" because they were out of stock. OK no problem. I would find it elsewhere. Oh No Nordstrom cancelled the order but did not give a refund. They charged $332 and then another $84 for the Part they didn't cancel but I already paid for. I am charged over $400 and have not received items or refund. Any reputable seller give you a refund or better yet not charge for an item they do not have. Their phone and chat answers vary from, "You were not charged" (my bank thought I was) or "12-24 hours just to take authorization off" or "3-5 days it "should be off"". Several days and still no money back. This is fraud taking money for no service or product. Avoid Nordstrom. They are not honest. Too many good sellers to waste your money with Nordstrom.

    I am HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED, my first time ordering from Nordstrom Rack and this is definitely not a good way to start business with a customer. I placed my order on Cyber Friday November 23, 2018, Order # ** and system shows to be shipped within 1-3 days (which it still shows to date). I called 3 times and was told by each rep that items would ship by Monday, November 26, 2018 which is the 3rd day. The boots still have not shipped. I ordered the item because they were needed for an event and they were not received in time, due to the incorrect information given by the 3 Nordstrom Rack Customer Service Representatives that I spoke with on the phone.

    On November 26th, I did online chat & per Tanique ** "The package is scheduled to ship tomorrow, also advised our expedited shipping option is currently down due to some internal issue." I requested a manager & Tanique referred me to Customer Care: 1-888-966-6283. I called & spoke with Judy who advised that items were being shipped out TODAY. During this conversation, I was skeptical because I'm getting conflicting information.

    I requested a supervisor and was transferred to Sharon who advised that items will not ship until tomorrow, BUT that Nordstrom was in compliance with the 1-3 shipping timeframe and that there had been no delay while on the phone with Sharon, I received an email apologizing that my items had not been shipped and that there had been a delay. I asked Sharon, so why is Nordstrom sending me an email apologizing for a delayed shipment? I requested a supervisor and was transferred to Kim **. Per Kim, the 3rd day is not until TOMORROW.

    At this point I am beyond upset due to all reps are giving different dates as related to the 3rd day of shipping. Bottom line - I need my items for an event on Friday and had I known it would be beyond this time, I could have ordered from another store or went into a store to make a purchase. Kim advised she would check with the San Bernardino Fulfillment Center (SBFC) to see if the 1 item coming from there can be shipped earlier. However per Kim, she cannot reach out to the East Coast site because they are a fairly new site and she does not have the ability to reach out to them.

    Kim advised she could do a refund and I could shop in the store, had I known this on Monday, I could have possibly done so but the reps were assuring me my order was being sent out Monday. Unfortunately, going out to shop at such a late date did not fit into my schedule. I am A VERY VERY VERY UPSET CUSTOMER at this point and will definitely share my concerns as I deem necessary. On Friday, November 30, I emailed Kim ** and Daniel **, as Kim was scheduled off Friday and Saturday.

    Kim was nice enough to respond to my email on her off day only to advise via e-mail that: "unfortunately we did not have enough stock of this particular item to fulfill your order. In speaking with you the other day, I certainly understand why you are disappointed in us and I truly apologize for the inconvenience this has caused but we will not be able to fulfill this specific item. This is a rarity when it occurs but from time to time an item may be unavailable due to a discrepancy in our inventory, where we are unable to ship out the item. On behalf of Nordstromrack.com, I truly apologize that we have failed you with regards to this order and I want to make sure you get the refund that you are owed since you will not be receiving the boot in question. I have reached out to our gift card team with my request to have your refund placed on an electronic gift card and sent to you via email."

    My response: "Please keep in mind that the day that I ordered the boots, they were marked down considerably for the sale that was taking place on that date. While looking at other boots on the Nordstrom’s Rack website I have not been able to find similar boots that are within that same sales price range that I was able to get the day that I made my initial online purchase.

    Under the circumstances, not only do I expect a full refund for what I paid for and what was NOT AVAILABLE; but after waiting one week to hear that what I ordered was not even in stock - I expect ADDITIONAL FUNDING on the gift card for the inconveniences, for the horrible experience that I have went through with your staff giving the wrong information and for the time that it has taken me to find out that my item was never available. The original price of the boots were over $400 and the sale price was $139.97 and now I am unable to find anything comparable to the Cyber sale. Nordstrom's is unable to provide the boots I ordered nor willing to make this a comparable boot or price point. This has been such a disappointing and horrible experience."

    On Sunday, December 2, 2018 I called Kim 3 times on her direct number and unfortunately her number did not have an option to leave a message. Kim called back and explained that she comes into work late on Sundays. Kim advised that Nordstrom Rack could/would only refund me what I paid for the boot (that I never received) and that it is not the company’s policy to compensate for erroneous information given to the customer, for items not being in stock, for any inconveniences.

    I requested that Kim, on behalf of Nordstrom Rack send me a coupon for 75% since this was the coupon (discount/sale) that I used on the day of my initial order and that due to the 75% off coupon, I was able to “purchase” a higher priced boot for a lower price. Kim advised that Nordstrom would not send a coupon and basically said that I used my gift card on a day that offered a 75% discount, my ORDER WENT THROUGH ONLINE and never stated that the item was out of stock, my gift card was deducted the amount for the boot – however; since Nordstrom Rack had an inventory issue, I would not be compensated, nor given a discount coupon to order another pair of boots with a discount. Basically she said that they messed up and I have not “missed out” on my discount due to the store's error/mistake.

    Please also keep in mind that the day that I ordered the boots, they were marked down considerably for the sale that was taking place on that date. While looking at other boots on the Nordstrom Rack website I have not been able to find similar boots that are within that same sales price range that I was able to get the day that I made my initial online purchase. Due to the reasons I stated above, as well as in my below email the amount put back on the card should have been increased or I should have been sent a 75% coupon/discount to use for another purchase.

    Let me start by saying that I've always liked the merchandise from Nordstrom and will continue to shop with them if they provide me with a resolution... one more week from now. That said, I've had a lousy experience in dealing with the return of a $500 men's jacket that did not fit me and was sent in the wrong color and in a flimsy package versus a proper box. Nordstrom provides a free shipping return label. It's a so called Smart Label that doesn't list the physical address of where it's going...just the bar code which means nothing to the customer!

    That being said, my returned package was left at the post office 2 weeks ago; and I have record of my USPS tracking ID. The package left my local post office BUT it's still sitting at a USPS mail bulk center about 30 to 40 miles from my home here in NC. This is absolutely unacceptable to me! I want to see a return process that is much more transparent, efficient, and clearly defined to the customer. Yes, Nordstrom has promised a refund to me no matter what the outcome with this lousy Smart Label shipping process. But I am NOT happy with USPS AND Nordstrom at the moment.

    I found out the package is allegedly going to Iowa. No package from North Carolina to Iowa should remain in transit for 2 weeks and counting...especially when USPS still shows the package sitting in my home state 2 weeks later. This is just absolutely ridiculous and an incredibly inefficient shipping process! We are NOT talking international shipping here. Expected much better! We'll see if this finally gets resolved after another week but it is not an experience I will soon forget. Buyer beware, you might want to pay for your own shipping versus dealing with this stupid Smart Label thing that Nordstrom provides from USPS. Never seen worse shipping in my life.

    I am completely dissatisfied with my recent experience ordering online from Nordstrom. I ordered a wallet and Nordstrom immediately charged my card $300. Immediately after, I received an email from them saying that my order was canceled and to contact customer service. When I did that, CS advised me that their financial department canceled it, but couldn’t provide any additional information. They also couldn’t give me a phone number for that department and said that I had to wait to be contacted by them by email. They emailed me the next day saying everything is now good on their end, but I need to replace the order. This means that they would charge my card an additional $300 and I have to wait 3-5 business days for my bank to put the first transaction back on my card. So they put a hold on my card for $300 then cancel my order for no apparent reason and say I have to reorder! How inconvenient! Horrible.

They did not acknowledge their mistake or rectified the situation. I am left with the conclusion that Nordstrom shouldn’t take pride in having great customer service.

    I have been regularly shopping at Nordstrom Rack and occasionally at Nordstrom for two years now. I have, within the last six months or so had a brick and mortar store move in half an hour away. Before this, there was no brick and mortar store close by. I shop online like many women do. I look for what I think will look good on me, which is not always easy to tell when they only use slim build, no curves women for their models and sometimes I think I can base it on experience. This does not always prove true however. Free People is one recent example of that. I normally wear a medium in them, so I purchase three tops in medium. They were so small a twelve year old is about the only size female that could conceivably wear them.

    The point is, approximately sixty percent of what I order doesn't work out... rarely, but sometimes I strike out... just as if I'd been able to find these items in the store (which I can't) and try them on in the dressing rooms. On a side note, I have checked the local store regularly. They cater to the small and medium sized customers and tend to carry more of the styles which don't appeal to me and majority of tops which are polyester... which I avoid because it doesn't breathe and I don't want to be part of the death of ocean life. So, after I spent over $400 this last ten months at Nordstrom's stores, I receive an email saying if I continue to shop as I have, they will shut down my account and refuse my returns and business.

    I return everything that I bring back clearly unworn... some of which there's no way I could wear and with tags attached. I guess my $400 is worthless to this snooty company. I called and explained that due to the lack of availability of product which appeals to me, in store, and lack of realistic display by models for those of us with bigger busts and some curves, this is how I will shop their store. They just repeated what was stated in the email. I told them if that's the case I will take my business elsewhere. I may not spend thousands like some people do in one store, but $400 is a good chunk of my clothing budget that I'm certain another store would be happy to have. I also informed them I will be leaving reviews about my negative experience with this everywhere.

    I am inconvenienced when I have to drive half an hour each way to make returns or for that matter go looking for tops that will work for me again because some didn't. Shopping when you don't look like a straight board with no shoulders, like all their clothing models, is already sometimes frustrating enough without dealing with such a rude company.

Fast forward to November 8th, and my shoes have not arrived in the mail, with no notification from Nordstrom via email, phone call, or anything. Finally I call today to find out when my shoes will arrive. The customer service rep looks up my account, and only then does she tell me my order was canceled on 10/24 because Nordstrom didn't have my size in stock.

    The customer service rep, while apologetic, did not offer to make it right in any way, or even offer a discount for future purchases or any type of damage control. It was only after I got off the phone that I received the confirmation email from Nordstrom that they didn't have the product in stock that I'd ordered (more than two weeks later)! Usually when you order and select a product online, you'd expect that once the business takes your money, it means they actually have in stock the product you've selected.

Fading around the edges, especially around the cuffs and arm; as it's almost an ash color and not navy blue. 3. Lint/fuzz in the inner cuffs, in both sides along with the outside pockets showing wear and tear. 4. Volume wasn't full and almost empty.

    5. Tags within the jacket (where the hologram tags are) showed signs of crinkling. 6. No original tags or tickets (i.e. price & size tag) were attached nor were included.

    I purchased a pair of Woman Gucci Slides and went to request to have another repair replaced or repaired no cost to me because the slides were unraveling and I had them for 6 months purchased in January, slides were not very worn. Just starting to unravel at the seam which gave me some concern. Because I chose to purchase them from Nordstrom they retailed at $310 not on sale and I'm not a Nordstrom credit card holder but I trusted I would be in good hand if a problem arrived.

    As I expressed my concern to the "I don't care attitude" sales person Margot ** she immediately did not have an ounce of empathy for me, however she did acknowledge what I looked like and her response was to flag in my face a store made "FLASH CARD" with a typed label saying they don't take back Luxury Items!! And it's mentioned on the back of the receipt and online, she offered to recommend me a good shoe maker but at my cost?? And there was nothing else she could do for me. Again she stressed that it also says on the back of my receipt and as I looked it did not mention anything. As explained to her I purchased this in your store and upon my purchase no one explained their procedure.

    She really didn't want to budge in helping me in any other way. She was done with me, I ask for a manager and to my surprise she was the Asst. Manager from another employee which made me really upset. I asked to speak with someone over her. She then became nervous however still not budging and I waited a while until she finally pulled another woman over. I watched them speak to each other over at the other side. This woman comes over not really acknowledging the detail of the shoe a quick glance and gave me the same information as Margot ** also recommend me to a reliable shoemaker she or they knew.

    As explained I have my own reliable shoemaker. I don't need yours, I need assistance. I don't want a refund. I would like to get another pair of the same shoe, I can't for the life of me understand the policy at Nordstrom shoe. In less than one year I have everything-- box, receipt and you can't help me with a $310 slide?? And now this woman recommends me to go to Gucci when I knew that was my next trip however I did not need her to tell me this, and now I find out her name Jace ** who is the Manager of the Salon shoes at the Garden State Plaza in NJ who was useless as well!!! Never again Will I shop with them and I will tell this story to all of social media.

    However THANKS to GUCCI in Garden State Plaza Mall in NJ they didn't promise me anything but they did show Empathy, Concern, looked at the slides, took pictures of them and sent them out to their repair department and got back to me in the timely manner If they couldn't have done anything else. They did that much for me and Nordstrom gals could have done the same but they missed that opportunity purpose. Gucci as promised got back to me and corporate decided even though I didn't make the purchase with them they offered me a full credit and I used that credit with them to replace the slides for another pair and walked out A satisfied customer for Gucci!!!

    Nordstrom showed me they are struggling to survive, their management need follow up training for Customer Service Support, and they are struggling to survive in the retail world and last but not least Brown people always get the run around when a solution is needed to be resolved from people like Asst.

    Yesterday in the early afternoon while I was on my way to the SkyTrain I noticed a young man quietly and unobtrusively panhandling in front of Nordstrom. He was seated on the pavement and he was not bothering anyone. He was not on Nordstrom property, nor was he anywhere near an entrance, but on the sidewalk, which is public space. One of their Paladin security guards, a young male about twenty years old, blonde, tall, told the panhandler to move on, and he did without arguing. I approached the security guard and told him "He shouldn't have to move. You and I at least have homes. Shame on you." The security guard replied, "Thanks for moving away, sir." Well, at least he called me sir, given that I am old enough to be his father, maybe even his grandfather, though I found him otherwise rude.

    Now I am not specifically complaining about him, but that a vulnerable, poor and likely homeless man, can't be left in peace, just because he happens to be begging in front of this prestigious establishment. He was not on Nordstrom property, we have a crisis of homelessness and housing in this city, and I believe that his treatment by their security guard was shameful and completely inappropriate. Panhandling, if it is not aggressive, nor near a store entrance (he was nowhere near your entrance), or a public washroom or if it is not addressed to someone inside a car, is not illegal in Vancouver. Nordstrom has overstepped their bounds here. Given that this is indicative of their attitude towards the poor and less fortunate, be assured that I will never shop at Nordstrom and I will actively discourage others as well.

    Received a pair of Betsy Johnson bedazzled tennis shoes instead of a men’s Brooks Brothers polo, to be told they were sold out. They canceled order, but said I could not receive a refund until I drove to take the shoes back to a local Nordstrom Rack. Flash forward 8 months and I place a $200 order with them, giving my new address and they still ship it to my old address. I was waiting on hold for 20 mins just to be disconnected. Waiting my second time now...8 mins in. Now once being connected to a manager, because the service lady couldn’t re-route my package. I find that half of it can be rerouted, so the main part, a jacket that I got for Denver next week, will be shipped to the wrong address.

    The manager even provided the right address, that I’ve never used on their site until this order. Proving that I provided the correct shipping address. They are making my mother, who the package was shipped to and who has severe lupus drive 30 mins to the nearest post office pay $30 to overnight it to me and the manager says, "Sorry nothing I can do." Horrible. No pre-shipping label? Nope, she couldn’t do that. Not even 10% off my next order? Nah, Nordstrom RACK is too good for that. I told her I hope she sleeps well at night. God, fix your customer service. Worst ever. You may as well be a discounted Ross or TJ Maxx.

    I’ve gotten 2 very expensive pieces of jewelry from here in the past month. One was a $1200 Lagos bracelet that broke and one was a Monica Vinader diamond ring that snapped. Both broke within a month of purchasing/receiving as a present. Very disappointed in Nordstrom and the quality of the brand. Spend your money elsewhere.

    I purchased an expensive jacket ($586) only for it to go on sale 40% off ($340) not even two weeks later and literally the same day I actually received the jacket. I asked about getting a price adjustment since this sale occurred so quickly after I bought it and this was the response I got: "Thank you for your price adjustment inquiry! I wish I was able to honor that sale price for you, however we are sold out of the size that you purchased. It does need to be available in the same size and color for us to honor this price. I'm truly sorry for this inconvenience." So it's very convenient for them to mark things down this far, suddenly they go out of stock and when you ask for a price adjustment because you just bought it they will say no. I'm not buying from this sketchy company again.

    I purchased a specific pair of pants online as part of my outfit as a groomsman for my sister's wedding. When the pants arrived the bottoms of the pant legs were completely unfinished (as in had no hemming or finishing sewing work done to them at all). I had no time to go through the return/exchange process because by the time the pants arrived the wedding was in just a few days and the closest Nordstrom to me is 5 hours away, so I couldn't replace them. I ended up having to get them hemmed, which of course cost me extra above and beyond the price of the pants.

    Normally if it were just a sizing issue or something I would do an exchange/return but I do not intend to return them because I paid to have them finished when they should have just been finished in the first place. This caused me a great deal of stress leading up to my sister's wedding and as such I've been seeking a refund rather than an exchange. I have already spoken on the phone with a Nordstrom representative and clearly explained all of this, but she was insistent that I return the pants and told me to just check my email (no emails have come regarding this). I also tried the chat option on their website with similar results, and was told I would have to return the pants that I had tailored in order to get a refund.

    At this point I would just like my money back for the unfinished pants after all of this but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. I'd never shopped with Nordstrom before purchasing an entire $300 groomsman outfit through them (shirt, pants, shoes, belt), but after this experience I will most definitely not shop with them ever again. This has been an incredibly stressful and disappointing experience and their customer service leaves a lot to be desired.

    I used to rely on Nordstrom for a kind of humanity in their stores, as well as good service online. With fewer and fewer salespeople, their stores are as diffuse as any chain. But their online services continued to be excellent. In the past two years, however, they have failed to deliver over five packages to my address and always claim they have "followed up" with UPS. However, when I have checked with UPS, there isn't a report of a follow up. (As of now, there are two ongoing investigations.) I have ordered many things online from other places. Since all other places have always delivered packages, I have to conclude that their shipping service is chaotic. Most upsetting, is that they have begun to charge to things that aren't delivered.

    I had to return a sweater that gave me a rash and caused me to itch. I was greatly allergic to the sweater. I chatted with a Man online about this problem. He sent me a return label to send the sweater back due to the fact the sweater caused me to itch. He told me that when they received the sweater they would credit my Mastercard for the full amount that I paid. After more than a week I called Nordstrom Rack Online to check on the status of my sweater return. A Nice woman Iilene assisted me in a most professional manner and told me that the sweater was still moving through the return process and if I did not see the credit on my Mastercard by yesterday, Friday 7/20/18 then to call back and ask for a Supervisor and they would process the credit for me for sure.

    I called on Friday as Lilene told me to do and I asked for a Supervisor to assist with my credit to My Mastercard. After being on hold for over 47 minutes this Supervisor named Shalonda comes on the line and tells me that absolutely she will not credit my Mastercard for the full amount of $42.93 that I had been promised by 2 other associates I had chatted and spoken to regarding this return. When I told her that I had been promised the entire credit to my Mastercard by 2 other people, Shalonda barked back at me with a most nasty tone and said, "Absolutely no!" I explained the situation to her and that the other 2 associates told me that a supervisor could override this for me.

    Shalonda didn't want to help me but rather developed AN UNFRIENDLY ATTITUDE! She is sending me a gift card for half of the value and a credit to my Mastercard for the other half. I finally gave up talking to her because it was obvious she wasn't interested in what I was telling her. After all, I had been on hold for over 47 minutes waiting for her.

    As a young man, I enjoyed spoiling my wife with presents from Nordstrom’s (San Diego area). I was a new college professor and Barbara a second grade teacher, so money was important. Nordstom’s was a splurge for us, but the quality was exceptional, customer service was unmatched, and there was that wonderful grand piano. I’ve never written a negative review before and it really bothers me that I have to write it about a store I loved.

    My wife ordered a pair of pants online. We rely on the Internet because we live in a rural town in Montana. The pants arrived with the security tag still attached. It was a mistake and disappointing, but easy to forgive. Barbara called customer care and was told that she would have to repurchase the pants, return the security tag pants and wait up to two weeks after the faulty pants were received to have the original purchase credited. They did promise to send the new pants express mail, although they took five days to arrive. I was livid! This should have been a simple exchange.

    My wife of 45 years is a lovely, trusting woman and I have seen people try to take advantage of her over the years. I only step in when I have to. It took two more phone calls just to get Nordstrom’s Customer Care to send a prepaid mailing label. Two more emails from me resulted in a phone call to Barbara rescinding the original requirement to purchase the pants again and wait for credit on the security tag pants. I immediately drove 25 miles to town to mail back the pants. By then we had spent about an hour and a half dealing with Nordstrom’s mistake.

    Here is where I got upset. I politely asked Nordstrom’s for a discount or gift card for Barbara’s trouble. My request was declined. I asked the customer care representative to connect me to her supervisor. I got another email from another representative (supervisor?) who also declined stating that it wasn’t company policy! Just a token gesture on Nordstrom’s part would have made this complaint unnecessary.

I wanted to exchange a pair of pants, never worn still had tags on, with a receipt and in the same bag that it was purchased in. Mind you I asked for an exchange not credit or refund. They denied the exchange because it was over 90 days! What?

    They said they don't have the same policies as the Nordstrom store because they are an outlet store. They went on to say that my pants were purchased at a discounted price ~ are you kidding me? I paid the full price that was on the tag! I was thoroughly disgusted! Everything I had known all my life about this Nordstrom company had disintegrated to nothing! Let me tell you that TJ Maxx will take any exchange, without a receipt or tags and purchased over a year or more ago! They have all the selections that Nordstrom Rack has and at a better discount! The fact that the pants they wouldn't exchange for me were still selling on the floor was even more infuriating!

I then told her she was being rude, she, "I am not being rude but I am only going to do this one time", I asked for the manager and she said she was the manager.

    We knew we were not going to resolve anything. So, we asked for the region manager number, of course, they gave us the wrong number. I call the store back again. Asked to speak to the manager, the same lady then tells me that the store manager was not there and refused to give me her name. The point that was upsetting was, that we were told to stand in the front of the store like we had stolen the item, which we clearly did not, we walked directly in the store and went to customer service.

    The reason for this review is to inform people that Nordstrom's policies are no longer customer service-oriented nor are their personnel. I remember when that was their cachet. I have been a Nordstrom customer for 40 years; my mother was a Nordstrom customer and so was my grandmother when the only Nordstrom store in existence was located in Seattle. I was at the first Nordstrom’s grand opening here in San Diego. When I worked for them for a short period 10 years ago, I learned they were not all they were purported to be. Despite their declining customer service even in their full-price stores, I continued to shop there. But no more.

    On Saturday, their couldn’t-care-less attitude for servicing their customers was demonstrated by the current Nordstrom Rack “manager” Cindy (actual store manager was off) in the Carmel Mountain Ranch area of San Diego. I requested to speak with the manager after the cashier had wasted enough of my time trying to find my purchase in their computer— even though I told her the three sweaters I was trying to return still had their tags on them. The prices and the store’s barcodes were clearly showing and I pointed them out. The sweaters were in perfect condition and I had brought them back to the store in which I purchased them.

    When the manager of the day came over, she repeated the same “policy” as the cashier— no returns after 45 days, which used to be 60 days, and you must have the receipt. I asked, “Where does it state that?” She said, “All over the store.” The places must not be obvious as I had and still have never seen them. She also said, “it’s on the back of the receipt” and she showed me the back of a receipt-- light grey print on a white receipt. I couldn’t read it. Nothing like making your important policies so they cannot be found or read. Shady. Just like some of their practices that I learned about when I worked for them. Throughout our conversation she seemed to be disassociating Nordstrom from Nordstrom Rack.

    Did it matter that I had been shopping with the Nordstrom Rack since they arrived in San Diego about 30 years ago and that I had never heard that before? No. Did it matter that I had been an original Nordstrom customer since they first appeared in San Diego? No. To add insult to injury, she then decided to insult me by stating, “I could only give you a penny for that sweater,” and then attempting to rationalize such nonsense. Never any apologies. I am pretty sure that in Selling 101, you aren’t taught cheeky insults to use on your customers. It certainly wasn’t part of my training when I worked for the company.

    Nordstrom is not what they used to be. Their customer service isn’t what it used to be, their staff isn’t what it used to be, and their reputation isn’t what it used to be. Too bad for them. This long-time customer will not be returning. Sadly, they are not above the pack anymore—they have joined the pack, if not moved to the bottom.

    I tried to return an item that was over a year old but I have proof of purchase, it was never worn, no tags. The sales person I spoke with had to make several phone calls and get another representative to come over to the counter to help and then they denied the return. I gave them my second item which is still for sale in the store but over-year-old with the receipt and she wanted to return it for $34. When I looked on the company website the item was still for sale for the original cost which I purchased it for $88. I kept the dress and left. Very unhelpful, difficult returns & poor service. In another time, I tried to return a very expensive eye cream that was still a full container and they claimed the color was not correct and the denied the return.

    I have been a customer of Nordstrom for over 10 years, and have spent thousands with them. I recently placed my first online order. Oh boy, did I not know what I was getting myself into. After 11 phone calls and reaching out to corporate, my issue has still not been resolved. I am appalled with the lack of customer service, and how incompetent all of the representatives I’ve spoken to have been, including multiple supervisors. They do not care to make things right with the customer no mater how harsh the situation may be.

    It seems as if all they care about are the millions, if not billions of dollars they are making. I am truly disappointed - disgusted, even - and I will NEVER give another penny to this hideous company who messed up my order, did not properly cancel an item, charged me twice, once in bank, and once on gift card & made me call 11 times because they kept making mistake after mistake on my order. Simple one item order. I do NOT recommend anyone taking their business to Nordstrom. You will surely be disappointed.

    I received my package today as I’m leaving to go out of the country tomorrow and my shorts were not in the bag. Can someone tell me how anyone miss a whole pair of shorts when I paid for them. I called customer services and the only thing they said they can do for me is offer me free shipping. WAIT WHAT I can get free shipping if I look for a coupon online and then the only way I’m able to get the shorts is if they cancel my order (which takes 3-5 business days for the money to be returned back in my acct) and then I would have to go back online and reorder the shorts.

    How is this right. I have a business and when I get something done I’m done with it. This is too much time taken away from me and I’m getting ready to leave the country without one of my outfits. They say they can’t offer me anything but free shipping which I can get on my own. I order online every day and never had this problem.

    Ordered a Robert Graham shirt online on a Saturday night. A few hours later, changed my mind and began trying to cancel the order. Emails, phone calls, etc. Was DENIED a cancellation due to a ** "2 hour policy". My order was not processed and no shipping label was created and the order had not been filled and/or shipped. I went back and forth with Saturday night and all day and night Sunday and into the morning on Monday. Regardless, they charged my card up front and refused to refund it.

    Got a message Monday that "good news!, my order had been shipped", but in reality when I checked the status, it simply said it was ready for UPS to pick up. So, still not fulfilled and shipped out, but still denied a cancellation and refund. Was told I had to wait until the item arrives and THEN if I was not satisfied, I could "return" it!!! Ridiculous. Already not satisfied and do not want the item, and now they are forcing me to wait 5 days to just go through the motions and headache of returning the item, which will then take another 10 days plus to be refunded finally.

    Going overseas to a colder region and saw a pair of Timberland boots and purchased the product and hopefully to receive it before I leave. In this day of age with developed technology shipping and dispatching a product should not take 10-21 days. Anyways the boots was said to be delivered on this specific date and it did arrive however, it was a woman's dress. Not a pair of Timberland boots BUT a woman's dress. I was utterly disgusted as when I went back to the product page, my size and many other sizes were sold out. Given them enough time to dispatch (10 days), yet they STILL shipped me the wrong item. I question to myself, you must be drinking when you're doing this, can't believe this company is still alive.

    Anyways, I politely sent them an email and they are willing to give me a FULL refund due to my circumstances, they said they will provide a shipping label so I can ship the product back to them and then I'll get a full refund. A complete joke. A shipping label can be sent to me through email yet it took countless of email to ask where about it is.

    My husband's bank card had 2 times fraud charge from them and it is weird that he just walk by Nordstrom, doesn't shop at all, and I placed some orders with this company, they don't have the items on hand so they try to charge your card as a pending transaction, and I was waiting for a while they cancelled the order and they said they shipped the product already after a month and they charge on your different card in the file with their system on after 2 months. This is an awful service I ever had. I don't have my product with me and they said they sure that I received my purchase, but I never have the thing, so they cancelled the wrong charge payment on my bank card and require to charge on my original payment method on the Nordstrom Card that on my receipt.

    They assume that I have the order, but my receipt is show that it is shipped to the store, I don't even pick it up and the store said they do not have it. And the card center said the item sold in full price without the promotion that I have and they still require to charge the product on my account. I'm totally confuse and they abuse me, but I'm the person who handling no items received and pay for the item in the same time, and I totally feel so wrong.

    I don't know what happened to Nordstrom's so called good customer service. A few years ago, I ordered a pink Longchamp purse and used it once. It got holes in the corners after the first use. I was able to return it. I also bought a Coach zip up wristlet which I had to return because the zipper was weak. I thought it was a fluke. A few years later, I bought a pair of UGG boots which stiffened. I am a cardholder and never see the rewards dollars either; and the one time I was supposed to see a 20.00 Nordstrom Note, I had to call for days the Customer service to just get the note which I finally got after 2 weeks of waiting.

    As for the boots, I tried to take them back to the store and the salesperson was super rude, the manager would not take them back because I had no proof of purchase and assumed they could look it up with a card but apparently it was the card I changed numbers with. They were in the box etc. I was just asking for an exchange, not some big windfall of cash anyway. Eventually I had Nordstrom.com return them and they gave me a gift card value of the lowest selling price which I had to accept.

    I bought a pair of baby booties which had the return sticker on them already from a store, a small tiny cloth bag which seemed okay, and a pair of rain boots that made deep cuts and marks on my legs, no matter how many layers I wore under them. They took back the boots. I then exchanged for a pair of Puma shoes which had different toes and a big white thumbprint I could not brush off with a cloth on the material. I also got a wallet and it looked like a store return, with one sticker peeled off and another stuck on there, and it looked like someone smashed the box with their foot or fist. No return label was inside. This is a limited edition wallet and the Nordstrom logo on cardboard was not inside and instead a little piece of awkwardly cut white piece of paper.

    I don't know how someone could have returned this so quickly, it looks like the picture and it fits a lot in it. They say I can return it too, but I don't want to go through any more aggravation with them. I honestly think that at this point, more should have been done for me with all these situations. It is too many negative problems with this so-called high end company. It is very insulting that I got these damaged goods and I'm starting to take it personally.

    I wish there was a no star option. Nordstrom advertised a jacket on sale on their site. I purchased it online. A day later I received notification that it was unavailable. When I called the CS person said to watch the site and order again. To make a very long story short, I ended up ordering and having it canceled 7 times. Each time it shows up as available. When I call CS the very well-rehearsed CS rep will say: "I'm so sorry, I will report this issue." Then a few days later the item shows back up. A call to CS and they will be happy to upsell me to another item NOT ON SALE. This feels a lot like a bait and switch. But in any case not the Nordstrom's I am familiar with.

    I have always loved shopping at Nordstrom due to their stellar customer service. They are failing miserably in their online services. A single order now is shipped in MANY boxes making it very difficult to return and track. Their online interface requires a separate login to print a return label instead of utilizing the established online account with orders listed. Orders now take up to 3 weeks to receive since they insist on using UPS which is very broken. Returns have to be individually tracked as they also take up to 3 weeks to get credited and there is no notification when credit has been issued (like their competitors at Saks & Neiman). I really do like Nordstrom but they are rapidly moving down my list of "go to" online choices.

I checked my return package. And within 9 days, there have been no updates after leaving my state...

One wonders if the "Flash Sale" was simply a sham to draw those contacted via email into the site to buy something else, as when I wanted to purchase the item advertised, I was unable to actually purchase said item, as there was no manner for Nordstrom Rack Customer service to accept any sort of payment including credit card payment over the phone, when the website failed???

    I just opened the box for my order and saw that I was sent the wrong size. I ordered a size 4 but received a size 6.5. What's worse is size 4 is now sold out and I have been left with no shoes at all. As you can imagine, it's nearly impossible to find any shoes in my size, and after waiting several weeks for this item to be delivered I am beyond disheartened -- but more than that, I am shocked by the unpreparedness and indifference demonstrated by Nordstrom. After realizing a mistake had been made, I immediately called customer service so they could make it right.

    The first option offered by the customer service rep was a refund. I found that odd since stores usually encourage exchanges because it's in their best interest to keep the sale. It wasn't until after I told her I wanted my size, not a refund, that she proceeded to look up available inventory in size 4. Of course, they were sold out. She also mentioned that the warehouse ships boxes WITHOUT opening them to see what's inside first. As a customer, I find that complete lack of quality control to be very worrying - they are just asking for a mistake to be made.

    I've since done some research online and from what I see this is a reoccurring problem at Nordstrom. It seems this is due to careless packaging procedures plus a discrepancy in their computer system that screws up the UPC codes. What makes everything even more suspicious is that they don't offer exchanges, it's almost like this happens so much they have found a way to avoid giving their customers the product they ordered.

    Given this information, WHY on earth should anyone trust ordering something off their website? For such a huge company, I'm surprised more people have not been warned, but that's definitely about to change. I've sent a media request to my local news station and am preparing to post to my large social media following. However, before I proceed with warning more people, I am waiting for a Manager's response because it would be unfair to speak poorly about a Brand without first giving them a real chance to fix the problem.

    Now, please understand that a simple refund is not enough. I have put my trust and money into this company only to have seen my effort and time go completely to waste. I am currently without my money AND without the product. I think a store credit would be fair. This is reasonable considering this was an avoidable (and reoccurring) mistake made by their staff and the total cost of the purchase was almost $300. I will be following up with a phone call first thing in the morning to ensure this issue is rectified as soon as possible. I will post an update here to let you know the outcome.

    I have had an ONGOING problem with Nordstrom.com returns. I have a chronic illness and have to use online ordering. Therefore, I do have to make a lot of returns. However, I retain ALL tracking information, take pictures of the shipping labels, per Nordstrom customer service advice, and keep my receipts from any mailing locations I visit. I know when an item is lost or stolen because normally, returns only take a certain number of days to process. So, I have ended up having to use my valuable time, even when I'm feeling poorly, to contact CS, sometimes multiple times to have issues resolved. I have had MANY problems with returns not being received or credited. Because the warehouse receives a lot of packages from me, they must look out for them and steal them before they're scanned. That's the only explanation, given that I have tracked everything it all shows delivery.

    Recently, I had over $650 of merchandise stolen or lost at the Nordstrom warehouse and Nordstrom has put me under so much stress, that I thought I was going to have to visit the ER. There is a pair of very expensive shoes and 5 tops from 2 orders, that are not accounted for by Nordstrom. There was a jacket in question that I kept calling about and was being told, that according to my tracking number it had been received but I called 4 times because I never got the refund. I know for a fact that I provided the correct tracking number because I have a picture of the label with the order number handwritten on it. Somehow, I eventually got that refund but I called CS just to see if my theory was correct, that the warehouse did not have record of the correct tracking information and I was right. The tracking number they gave me for that returned item, was not the one that I used and I have a photo to prove it. This clearly supports my case.

    Because I keep all my tracking info and know which numbers correspond with which items, I was able to convey this to the warehouse. However, because the boxes are, evidently being stolen before they're scanned, the warehouse cannot locate the items or correlate the tracking numbers. So, in the past, because CS could see that the items were delivered, according to MY correct tracking numbers, I was given "COURTESY" refunds. I tried explaining to them during the recent incident, that it is not a "courtesy" if your warehouse is stealing my merchandise. All I need to do, as a customer, is pack up the items, mail them and retain my tracking information. Once the items are delivered to your warehouse, as verified by the USPS and Smartlabel tracking sites, that completes my obligation and, whether or not you can find the items, is not my problem. I deserve my refund.

    Instead, I received a NASTY, ACCUSATORY email from Nordstrom CS, implying that I am trying to defraud THEM! This is outrageous! I have a chronic illness! Do they really believe that I have the time or energy to sit and print out labels, affix them to empty boxes, take multiple boxes to the post office, then spend hours on the phone with CS? The post office can verify the weights of the packages I've mailed. I have pictures of labels, I know what was in the boxes but the warehouse is giving false numbers that don't correlate with the right items, then saying that the items were never delivered, despite the fact that I have as many tracking numbers as I have boxes that were mailed back. I spent the better part of two days, coordinating all of my receipts, pictures and order numbers.

    All of the Nordstrom employees are like robots, spitting back the same answers to me, which are completely illogical. They are insisting, that although, I have all the tracking information, which can be officially verified, they're insisting they're the wrong numbers and the merchandise isn't there. It's impossible that the tracking information is lying. I have every tracking number for every box I mailed in October. So, regardless of whether the numbers match, they have gotten all the returns! They refuse to comprehend and concede because they want to keep accusing me of fraud, when it is clearly a warehouse issue! My merchandise is being lost or stolen Nordstrom and you know it but want me as a scapegoat! It's no wonder your company is doing so poorly when your employees are stealing from you and you all have such comprehension problems!

    I am out of $650 and I plan to return every last item that I have ever purchased from that company. I will NOT pay the salaries of any of the arrogant, ignorant, and insulting employees who I have dealt with over the past few weeks. My health is suffering because of this issue! This can happen to anyone but it's especially bad for other people like me, who are unable to get to a brick and mortar store to shop or make returns. This opens a door for countless disabled people to be taken advantage of by a large corporation without recourse. They can pull this anytime they want at the warehouse and the victim can do nothing about it.

    I spend a LOT of extra time to meticulously catalog my returns, per Nordstrom's advice and this is the thanks I get for it. This is nothing but a scam and Nordstrom has not given me a penny that wasn't due me, according my records, as well the official records of a Federal institution, the USPS. Refunds are not a "courtesy" if the merchandise is being stolen at the warehouse. By mailing, saving tracking numbers, and tracking the deliveries to ensure they were received, I have fulfilled my obligation and deserve my money, regardless of their ineptitude and inability to keep track of incoming returns as well as their inability to correlate my tracking information to the proper merchandise.

    I may be ill but I'm not mentally impaired, I know what I've mailed back and with what numbers. I would have gladly sent every number that I have for them to see for themselves that there is no possible way they didn't receive all the merchandise and simple math would have shown that there are outstanding boxes. What is the point of a tracking number and why did Nordstrom's own CS tell me to photograph the labels, if they're going to disregard them? I will be happy to provide all tracking information, as well as any other pertinent information but there is too much attach below. I would be happy to submit them by mail or as a large file.

    A Nordies I used to love shopping here, last year someone attempted to use my credit card to send themselves a bottle of expensive perfume. I alerted them to the issue, my card was refunded and the order canceled. Fast forward 1 year later and multiple of purchases later, my recent online purchases were canceled with no customer service contact... I called customer service only to be told, there is a charge associated with your online account that ended up being a charge off because of the attempted fraudulent charge. WTH?!?

    1. That was never a problem in the store after many expensive purchases and 2. As a million dollar corp how dare my account be flagged because someone else was fraudulent and the order wasn’t stopped although I alerted them to the issue within minutes of receiving a “order confirmation” email shipping to a bogus address. Boo-hoo, Nordies had to eat $200 because of lacking “loss-prevention” methods, I shouldn’t be penalized or my future orders be canceled and that reason they should’ve never been disclosed to me by customer service. Good for me the order was canceled, while the rep was doing “research” I also performed some research, found the item on Amazon and received the item in 2 days! Talk about sales loss... We have options and Amazon is gonna take even the best down! #teamamazon

    In the last month I ordered boots from Nordstrom Rack that were damaged quality. The Musse and Cloud boots for $90 (not too cheap), had the inner sole glued in all rolled/bunched up in one boot and the other completely pulled out of the boot. The boots were cute, but receiving DAMAGED goods is truly disappointing. Unfortunately had to return these boots as they were unwearable.

    I ordered online for the very first time from Nordstrom Rack. I had to return every single item because they sent the wrong sizes. Not only do they not do exchanges, but once they received my returned items they had a delay and never bothered to tell me. I was never notified and they did not even bother to respond to my inquiries online. I had no idea what was happening with this order return. If they had just done an exchange it would have been so much simpler. But they don't do exchanges for whatever stupid reason and only do returns and refunds. So I'm looking for the refund back into my checking account. In the meantime they're having some stupid delay with the return process and don't even bother letting me know!!

    I will never use this company again and I will make sure to let everyone know and will plaster as many negative reviews as I can wherever I can. Nordstrom Rack is completely unprofessional in the way they do business and I thought they were supposed to be different. There are other companies who handle their business a lot more professional and I will continue to do business with those companies.

    Nordstrom online service customer service is horrible. I ordered an item and sent it to friend, they never received it. We kept waiting for it to be shipped or her to acknowledge she received it. I called the Nordstrom online to see where the item was. The woman was very rude on the phone. They said the item was delivered and because I had not called within 30 of the order or ship date there is no refund. This was a gift. The only way to know that someone didn't receive a gift is if you ask them.

    The woman on the phone said that it was delivered at her door. It could not be delivered at her door because at her complex they take it to the office and she is notified by text or email. Sound not honest. 30 day is not enough time. To not refund or resend the item is horrible customer service. The department store customer service is lacking and it is nothing what it used to be years ago. Nordstrom was the only one left with customer service in the past now it is just like the rest of the department store. Too bad.

    I'm a male shopper first time purchasing on NordsTrash website for my gf's bday. I placed my order online at 12:01PM but found a better product and price at a different company so I promptly began my order cancellation process. I looked up my email order confirmation but scrolling back and forth in hope of finding a link/button to cancel with no avail. The confirmation only showed an (failed attempt) customer service toll free number.

    At 12:46PM, upon connected to that number an automated greeting stating that "online order will be processed in 2-3 days"; therefore, I was still feeling confident the 45 minutes time lapse at ordering should allow me to cancel with no issue. I was completely wrong - the customer service stated that I had JUST missed the deadline to cancel my order. The only way at this point is to return my order at the store. I was in disbelief since ordering online is the main purpose of avoiding the store and to save TIME.

    Soon after the call with CSR, I contacted my credit card company and it was confirmed that no charged have been made on my account. With that information, I contacted the Nordstrom customer service number again and actually got the same CSR from my prior call (is this home-base business?!). I relay the message that since there is no charge on the credit card, no shipping/tracking number, and no further update in my email then why is there an issue on cancellation. Her explanation is "our system sucks and we are not Amazon." I hope consumers find this page and this message. You are better off shopping at thousands of other more competent business operators. Even those Chinese eBay vendors have better customer service.

    I have bought from Nordstrom one time in the past with no problem, but this time had a horrible experience. I ordered Brazil Riders women's brown flip flops size 8 and was sent men's size 8 Riders flip flops. So I contacted Nordstrom immediately and told them I was sent the wrong shoes. I told them it was a men's pair and gave them the model number. They insisted that model was what I ordered and so it wasn't their mistake and I would have to pay the shipping to return it. Then I told them their description said "women's" and thankfully I had a copy of that description in my email order confirmation, so finally the woman who was very uncooperative gave in after I threatened to contest the charges, call UPS and have them come back and pick up/refuse the package, write a bad review, and never buy from them again.

    Then she replied "no need for the hassle, I will send you a pre-paid postage label." They were definitely not concerned about customer satisfaction first, and made no offer of sending me the correct shoes I wanted that I ordered and paid for. They also told me it could be 2-3 weeks before I get a refund after the shoes are returned, so they hold your money a ridiculous amount of time while trying to avoid taking any responsibility for their mistake. I will likely not be shopping at Nordstrom again. I can't risk this inconvenient type of time-consuming screw-up happening again where I don't have my money nor my product and have to deal with poor customer service, and it appears it happens a lot based on all the other similar negative reviews on the Consumer Reports web site.

I recalled do to online the boots are also called by different names then the catalog items, of course this rep knows nothing either.

    Like many other posters here, I've unfortunately had an awful experience with the customer service department, particularly in the beauty section. I purchased an item and then noticed it was way cheaper at another store, so I looked at their price matching policy that's posted online, and that made it seem like they would be able to price match. However, upon contacting them, tongue gave me different information than what's publicly posted online, they're going off of a completely different policy than what customers see, which isn't fair. I've asked several times to see in writing what they're telling me, since I want to make sure that they're providing me legitimate information, it seems like they're just lying so they don't have to pay the difference.

    Every time I ask to see proof, that question is completely avoided. I'm not sure how many times I'll have to ask before I finally get someone that understands English and is able to actually read and respond to that request. I had a great experience with the customer service department 2 years ago, which is why I'm so disappointed now, seems like it's the polar opposite of what servicing the customer should be. I actually full time in Customer Service myself, so I know how hard it can be sometimes, however I've never in my life encountered such rude, uncaring, and non-willing to help people. I wish I could rate 0 stars instead, since they don't even deserve one. Hiding information from the customers is very bad business practice.

    Nordstrom used to be the best in the business when it comes to customer service, but over the last few years things have been going south at my once - favorite store. I recently had a package go missing -- a box that was on record as delivered by UPS. I assume that it was taken from my front gate. I got the shipment replaced (minus the generous gift-with-purchase that was the reason I originally placed the order... which didn't seem right to me), but as punishment for asking I had to endure getting chastised and almost threatened in an email from the Nordstrom department that handles lost and stolen merchandise. I really got slapped around. The writer toted up all of the lost packages I have ever reported (I have had the same Nordstrom account for 28 years, and have lived in my current home for 20 years), and assigned a dollar value to them. She then strongly suggested that I request all future deliveries to be signature required.

    The clear implication of her threatening words was that I must be scamming the store. Really? That's how you treat a customer of almost 30 years? I know that a few years ago Nordstrom was victimized by a criminal ring running a scam involving merchandise ordered through a cash-back portal, which was returned to Nordstrom after buyers got the cash-back payments. I think that there was some false reporting of lost goods in that criminal case, as well. I assume that's why Nordstrom no longer does cash-back through Ebates.

    But should your response to being duped be to treat all customers as suspicious? No. I was so annoyed after that email that I immediately returned several purchases to Nordstrom. Adding to my frustration with the store is their rapid decline in quality assurance. I have received too many items in shopworn condition, and clothing so carelessly packaged that it has to be cleaned and pressed before wear.

Upon opening the poorly packaged box, I noticed the security sensor was still attached to the watch band. The watch is useless with the sensor on it. I used the Nordstrom chat feature and was told that although they are very sorry for the inconvenience and understand that they "truly let (me) down", my only options were to ship the package back to them or go to a store to have it removed. Both of these options involve extra time and money. They are not reasonable solutions without compensation. When I asked for compensation (either a partial refund or future discount), they said they do not believe compensation would satisfy me. I'm not even sure what that means. Of course it would have satisfied me. It's literally the only thing that would have satisfied me.

    What doesn't satisfy me is a company making an error, which made the product I paid for useless, and then asking me to take additional time and money to correct it for them without compensation. I am not a Nordstrom employee. I do not work for them. Why would I do this? I would have understood if I received this terrible response from a newly-trained customer service rep (Jessica **), but I also received the same response from a manager (Tonya **).

    I had a gift card which was obtained because I had often shopped at a Nordstrom location in White Plains and sometimes would treat myself to a gift card that I could use on the online store. Please note from my experience that you should NEVER ask Nordstrom to pay you back in-store credit with the idea of purchasing only through them. Just get everything back in cash or back on your credit card. With the Nordstrom gift card I went ahead and ordered a pair of shoes online. When they arrived I didn't like them and decided I would return them and use the store credit to get a handbag that I liked instead which would have required much more than was on the gift card, but was very much to my taste. I waited to purchase the handbag until the refund was reapplied to my card but after waiting and waiting the card remained empty.

    Annoyed that I would have to take time out to contact Nordstrom about it to find out what was going on, I went on chat with them and was subsequently informed that they had shipped a new gift card to me. However I never received anything. This is when I found out they decided to automatically ship it to the BILLING ADDRESS rather than where you're supposed to ship things - The shipping address. I now understood why I never received it. The billing address they had on file was for an old company address on our company credit card which was no longer in use. We have since moved the company to another building, but even when our employees were there we still NEVER ONCE shipped anything to that address. It was just the billing address on the company card.

    Why they would send anything to a billing address is beyond me - Especially since a gift card has no billing address attached to it. That's why I used the gift card and not the old credit card. So the representative informs me that they will send a new gift card to the place where companies are supposed to ship things - The shipping address. Great. I wait and still receive nothing. What's going on. I am annoyed that I once again have to take time out of my day to contact them. I am now told that the previous representative should have reached out to me but didn't and should have told me that apparently when Nordstrom messed up and sent the gift card to the old billing address, someone there accepted the delivery and used the card for themselves. Ok... what does that have to do with me? I mean you guys messed up and sent it to the wrong address.

    Well, apparently Nordstrom doesn't care at all that they messed up and sent it to the old billing address rather than the shipping address. Nordstrom doesn't care at all that they never informed me of them sending it to that address. (They send you an email saying that "Your order is on the way" to inform you of your refund being delivered, but since this was NOT AN ORDER I MADE and was just a gift card they decided to send me I didn't realize this email was about a gift card being sent to me.) Nordstrom doesn't care at all that their negligence caused them to give my money to some stranger. Nordstrom doesn't care at all that they had already told me I would get the refund and then never informed me that they changed their mind about that completely. Despite all their negligences they still expected ME to pay the price and told me that they would not give me my refund back after all.

    And the cherry on top of this egregious cake is that when I expressed my very understandable displeasure at this, the representative who went by "Chris **" not only did not apologize for how I had been treated throughout, but he actually had the audacity to say "I'm sorry you feel that way"... as if it wasn't their behavior that was the problem, but that my feelings on the matter were the problem. "Excuse me?" I responded.

    Since we have a house in White Plains and an apartment in Manhattan I have shopped through Nordstrom - primarily via their White Plains store for over a decade and once in a while ordered things online when we wanted things shipped to Manhattan. I have spent well over 20K in their store over the years which anyone who looked at my handbags can attest to. And yet, for a measly $85 of a refund that is owed me and they refuse to hand back to me they have forever lost me as a customer. Even Macy's treats their customers with more respect than this. And by the looks of the faces of people I tell about my experience this it seems Nordstrom may have lost more than me as a customer. One thing's for sure - At the very least no one I know will ever seek out a Nordstrom gift card again.

I noticed that I was overcharged on my shirt that I bought. I was expecting to pay $23.44 but my bill showed $ 49.47. I realized that if I have to go back and complain that I would have to get in line; and the line was getting longer every minute. Luckily, the cashier entertained my complaint. The shirt had two tags. She honored the higher tag price. Since I was so disappointed, I just returned all what I bought and vowed not to return to the same establishment ever again.

    I ordered my prom dress on Nordstrom in mid March and it was supposedly sent through Borderfree. However, a month and a half later, it still didn't arrive. I was patient and gave them a lot of leeway but after a month, I sent them an email to complain and question the long wait time. On the Borderfree tracking, it said it wasn't shipped yet so Nordstrom explained to me about the package being lost. However, on the Canada Post tracking, it said it had already reached a city nearby and would only take a few more days. I was so angry because I wasted a whole month when I could've been looking for another dress if I was notified earlier. TO ADD, the dress had no more sizes available anymore. But, the associate helping me through email told me there was still a small available. This was false.

    The next day, I checked the site again to double check the status of the sizes available. It said Medium was still available and still in stock so I ordered as fast as I could. Only to realize the next day that their website was "updating" and a mistake was made. Thus, my order wasn't processed and I couldn't get my dress. My dress will be restocked 2 weeks before my prom so it wouldn't be enough time to wait for the shipping and alter its necessary pieces. Currently, I'm still struggling to find the right dress that 1. fits under my limited budget (under $200) and 2. appeals to me. I sent them a long email regarding my frustration and how they're putting my graduation experience in jeopardy.

    I demanded a compensation as I spent countless nights desperately trying to find prom dress online and many days searching extensively in stores, only to find the prices exceeding my budget. Not only did they not provide any compensation but wasted so much of my time during this whole process of canceling orders, reordering and checking for the stocks. I'm especially disappointed of Nordstrom because it's such a large company - shouldn't their customer service match that of their sales and popularity? With so many sales, shouldn't they at least give me a discount for a different dress?

    On April 1, 2017 I placed an order at Nordstrom online for spring bedding using my Citicard. By April 3, my phone (both land and cell), and internet were blowing up that fraud had been committed with my card at Nordstrom. Alarmed, I immediately contacted the Citicard Fraud line. But there was no fraud according to the Citicard representative, only Nordstrom's extremely weird accounting practices. Unlike most merchants, Nordstrom won't accept payment UNLESS the order is shipped. Until the entire order was shipped, Nordstrom backed-out the payments making CitiCard assume fraud was involved. Even though I told the credit card rep I made these purchases, because of Nordstrom a hold was placed on my Citicard, causing havoc with accounts like Netflix that were automatically paid off the card each month.

    While both Nordstrom and Citicard are at fault here, Nordstrom's unbelievably stupid policy caused my FICO score to drop by 50 points. Together with that and having to spend time changing credit cards for such accounts, I am seriously considering suing Nordstrom. They are not too big to be held accountable for policies, especially credit ones, that have a negative effect. One thing is for certain, I will NEVER shop with them again. I don't even usually shop at Nordstrom, but after much research, they had what I wanted. Beware of Nordstrom credit card policies when shopping online at least.

    I have been a loyal Nordstrom customer since I was old enough to shop, and when I have lived in States, I order from Nordstrom. They have NEVER disappointed me, and only carry quality products. Anyone complaining about Nordstrom discontinuing Ivanka Trump fashion, is ridiculous. You can buy her merchandise at Marshalls, TJ Maxx, any discount store. So, since Nordstrom is a high quality company representing the finest brands, I'm certain they have no interest in competing with discount chains!!! So it has nothing to do with her paternal affiliation. It has to do with mass merchandizing, Nordstrom does not ever do this.

    It is not a feminist issue or political issue. It's an issue with people who are looking for any reason to complain. Personally, I would never consider putting any of her designs on, that's my opinion, and I was a cosmetics and fragrance account executive and Regional for 22 years. I've shopped at Neimans, Bergdorfs, Saks, Barneys. Nordstrom is and always will be my go to shopping site, always!!!

    Placed an order last night. Nordstrom only confirmed two out of three items. The third item was still in my shopping cart. Complained the same night. Have been told I only have two hours to cancel order. Since the order was over $100 I should have been provided with free shipping. Sending only two items made it below the free shipping amount. This morning I wanted to order the third item they didn't ship, didn't really mind to pay extra shipping. Nordstrom accessed my account and took it off. Very shady practices.

    I placed an order and then found that I had made a mistake. As it had only been a few hours since I had placed the order, I decided to cancel it. I contacted the customer service chat, and the person I talked to was very unhelpful. They claimed that after 2 hours a cancellation was impossible, and to not to have a supervisor when I asked to speak with one, and would not provide any employee id number or any other identifying information. I then called their customer service, and that representative was able to help me with the assistance of her supervisor, who sent in a cancellation request. I received a refund via Paypal within a few hours. The phone rep was helpful and pleasant to deal with, and I did get a refund quickly, but I felt their live chat service was very poor. In general their return/cancellation policy seems very restrictive and difficult to deal with.

    Over the last several months, I have had countless items cancelled from orders because the item was "out of stock" only to see that the very same items show back up as available on their website to be sold again and again and again. It takes about 2 weeks to get a refund so they are keeping thousands of dollars of customers MONEY interest-free. By constantly holding money on items they keep selling that they are unable to fulfill. What does the customer get for their inconvenience? Not a damn thing. An email stating important information about your order. Someone needs to look into this shady practice.

    THIS NEEDS TO STOP or something needs to be compensated for the store continuously selling items that they have no plans on shipping. Over the last week I have had over 50 ITEMS cancelled out of stock to see most of them relisted for sale again. I have written emails, I had one rep working with me ONLY to vanish... stop responding. Which tells me there is more going on. I am beginning to think this is intentional way to show inflated sales.
