I received a pair of Frye boots for Christmas ($400+) from my father and they were a little too small. I sent them back to Nordstom with the return slip filled out inside asking to be sent a gift card for the amount the boots cost. Instead, they refunded my father for the boots he had bought me. After I called SEVERAL times I finally got ahold of someone in customer care. They said if my father returned their email and gave them permission they would take the funds back out of his account and send me the gift card. Well, come to find out they weren't able to do so and suggested I ask my father to buy a $417 gift card for me. HOW AWKWARD! I now have no boots, no gift card, and no Christmas present. Never shopping here AGAIN!!!

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.

I have read the Nordstrom Rack return/exchange policy and understand it. I bought a pair of shoes and selected my actual size. I received the shoes and they are too big. 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. ANY online retailer takes returns or exchanges, especially when making a purchase that has sizing issues. Very disappointing, and I will not purchase from them again.

Last year they approved me for a Norstrom rack store card. I only used $700 of the $15,000 I was approved for and one day I tried to buy something online and it wouldn’t let me!!! So I called them and they tell me I need to send them my social security number my ID and a utility bill in my name. Ok so I fax them the info. Months later they still put a hold on my card. One day I get a letter in the mail from them saying they closed my account and I can’t use my card anymore!!!
They also dinged my credit because they made an inquiry to my credit report!!! Why?? When they already had approved me the year before!!! I have never paid my bills late!!! I gave them my business by shopping there often!!! I will never shop there again!!! They are not to be trusted and they don’t care about their customers!!! That is how they treat a loyal customer??? So the day that I got that letter telling me they canceled my store card I went there immediately and paid them their $700 back!!! And I will tell everyone not to do business with them because they are deceptive!!!

Don't waste your time looking on the Nordstrom online site. You check the specifics size, color... and every item that you click on, Nordstrom response is "out of stock". This is 2019 not 2000. I am never wasting my time on this website again.

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 filed a complaint with the BBB because I am not about to lose my money for brand new items I sent back and they failed to update properly.

I have made several purchases from Nordstrom rack. Three of my orders over the last few years have arrived and they have either been a) Not the color I ordered or b) The wrong size. This has been annoying because rather than just returning the item, I have to phone to make sure they refund me for the shipping too since it hasn’t been my fault. It’s very disappointing waiting for a package and not knowing if you’ll actually get the item you ordered. Third time is a charm: I’m not shopping here anymore.

Ordered overnight shipping on boots. They cancelled my order. Called me three days later to resubmit my order, and still hadn't refund my money on to my account! Then I go ahead and resubmit my order. They take my money from a different car and they now have down a car seat for my order instead of my fiance's boots! Are you kidding me???? Now they cancel my order again after I call then they want me to pay again because they canceled another transaction!! Then they get it right but now Next Day Air isn't available! Worst ever. I will never give Nordstrom a dime! They shaved years off my life with this! I wish I could give zero stars!

WORST EMPLOYEES EVER!!! LAZY!!! I ordered the wrong pair of shoes with a gift card by mistake. I called right away to cancel the order. The customer service rep I spoke to DID NOTHING! The worst part is she made me believe she took care of everything. She told me she had to call the fulfillment center to cancel the order and I would get an email the next day and my gift card would have the money back. The supervisor said everything she told me was a lie. They can't call their fulfillment centers to cancel orders and I would have to be sent a new gift card. Get it together Nordstrom! You sell high end clothes like Gucci but your customer service is the worst in the industry! Walmart customer service is far superior.

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 still have no idea what their issue was but fortunately with online shopping there are far better websites with interesting clothing and shoes and rational customer service.

This site is complete waste of time, 24 hours after placing your order you will receive this email: "Thanks for understanding. Hi there, we want to say that we're sorry. Unfortunately, we will not be able to fulfill your recent order." This happened 3 times in less than a month!!!

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.

Ordered 2 pair sunglasses for each of my daughters, one of who is in the military and visiting home for one week. I ordered 12/21, was told delivery would be 12/28, so I decided I would still order them. THEN got an ETA of 1/3... uh... THEN got an ETA of 1/8!! My daughter will have to be back to her base by then, so not only is my gift VERY late, I HAVE TO PAY TO forward them to her. No merchandise credit, no refund. They DID offer to let me return for free. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? I was a CS supervisor for years, I know it would not have cost them much to save me. But they completely blew it.

Be aware of false and misleading shipping dates. Ordered an item that stated I would receive item before Christmas. (I ordered item on 12/19/18.) Checked on order today 12/20 and said I would not receive item until 1/2/2019. I immediately contacted customer service and was unsuccessful. Looking at the website and it is advertising "will arrive Christmas Eve." So disappointed. Just want to warn other customers out there to be careful what Nordstrom advertise. I feel almost duped into buying my item because I truly believed I would receive my item before Christmas. They are supposed to have stellar customer service. Boy was I wrong. I will be more careful who and where I spend my money on. Happy holidays everyone and have a safe New Year.

I had wanted to buy a pair of FLY London boots for some time. These are good quality shoes that are supposed to be made in Portugal. Nordstrom's website stated that ALL of the brand's models were made in Portugal. I drove over an hour to the store to pick them up. Got home and saw the boots I received were made in China. 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.

I returned a recent order, using the free postal label that Nordstrom’s provided.

Nordstrom uses a third party company for their customer service. These people are told they cannot keep any customer on the line for more than 7 minutes. If you are working with customers trying to help them and you are on the calls too long Nordstrom will drop you. This is ridiculous... I have been in Customer Service for years and this practice of Nordstrom is a disgrace. I thought when calling Nordstrom, a high end department store, I could get help and courteous service and if I needed longer than 7 minutes to resolve my issues it would not be a problem. It should not be a problem. I am extremely disappointed in Nordstrom and hope other people complain.

Been waiting three weeks for a refund to show up. Online they tell you to call. Once you call they just tell you to wait until the end of the week. Once you wait and call back they tell you to wait again. Some bogus story about a glitch in the system preventing a refund and it took them two weeks to even figure it out. Totally unacceptable to hold people’s refunds for that long. Somehow they always manage to take your money correctly but can’t seem to refund it properly. Don’t ever use their rewards card and be wary shopping here. Customer service reputation far exceeds their actual service.

Received order confirmation for suit. Only to get a message from Nordstrom Rack saying that they were short on the item and that I would not be receiving my item. This is very misleading and unprofessional, terrible customer service. Why does Nordstrom Rack mislead customers with displaying items as available, even accepting and charging ccard to only tell you later that it's not available? Either Nordstrom Rack online technology really is bad or they are intentionally misleading customers for their personal gain/interest.

I returned an item I purchased online. I paid with a Nordstrom gift card and a prepaid Visa gift card. I clearly stated on my return form that I wanted my refund on a Nordstrom gift card. They did not honor this request and my return was automatically refunded to the Visa gift card which I no longer have (from 3 years ago). There’s no way for me to track that card. 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 lost $77 and all they said repeatedly was there’s nothing they could do because a refund was issued. Such a disappointment. A company that truly took pride in making the customer happy would have a policy in place to make things right.

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. Save your hard earned cash for someone who cares about providing better customer service.

This is the first (and last time) I do business with Nordstrom. I ordered a pair of $200 orthopedic shoes on the Nordstrom website on 10/23/18. Received the usual confirmation email after my purchase went through- nothing amiss. 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. Not the case with Nordstrom, apparently. Do yourself a favor: save yourself weeks of time and poor communication and shop anywhere but Nordstrom!

I ordered a pair of shoes and later found the same pair cheaper. I asked to price match because they say they will price match on their own website. They refused to price match because I didn't purchase from their list of competitors (not on their website) and then they refused to cancel my order. This business and their policies are not customer friendly. Never shopping here again.

I just received a USED Canada Goose Shelburne Genuine Coyote Fur Trim Down Parka (Small/Navy). This is truly unbelievable; that Nordstrom could have sent and sold a WORN item. With that said, some of the indicators 1. Discoloration under the wrist cuffs, you can see 'tan marks' under the wrist adjustment flaps. 2. 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. In conclusion, I'm concerned that this practice disallows trust in the brand nor the company. Furthermore, will not recommend future shopping with Nordstrom as they could allowed such faulty processing of my item nor possibly to other customers.

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. Manager Margot ** and Manager Jace **. They are useless when it comes to customer service support!!! They both should be demoted.

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.

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.

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.

Well today I found out that Nordstrom Rack, does not mirror the same service that their regular stores provide. 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!

If they don't fit, which is a high possibility (because...reminder: you can't try the items on first), then you return the item. I have never had this type of experience with an online shopping company which I think says something hugely negative about how NR treats their customers. I've advised my friends and family to not shop at NR either in-store or online unless they want to have something ridiculous like this happen to them as well.

I shopped often at Nordstromrack.com. I kept many items but also returned many back to the store near my home. Because of the nature of buying clothing/shoes online, the rate of returning the items is high. I could not believe that Nordstrom Rack just closed my online account without discussing with me. I kept the payment on time and the items returned back to the store were kept in the original bags with the tags. I don't see myself of abusing their system. The way being treated like this shocked me. I just never shop there again. Just to share this story with you. Be careful with this store.

I went to the Oxnard, CA Nordstrom Rack store to exchange an item. Since I did not have the receipt I figure that is fair. So, when I went to customer service and told the girl what I wanted to do, she immediately told me to stand there, and do not go into the store. She had to get approval from the manager to exchange the item. After a few minutes, I asked where the manager was and she, "Oh I have to call her." A woman comes out, really rude and said, "I am only going to do this one time?" I asked her what we only wanted to exchange the item, we did not want any money. 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. I usually shop there all the time and never had an issue with returning items. I called the corporate office and they did not return my call. And I am a real customer.

I purchased an order with 1233 dollars including tax and shipment was free. Nordstrom withdraw the full amount from my credit card. Items were shipped as I received a message for confirmation... then after 4 days from the order my bank contacted me telling me that Nordstrom has been making daily withdrawal from my credit card... first one was 1233 dollars, then 167 dollars then 191 dollars then 620 dollars and my bank freezed the account immediately and rejected the transfer of the 620.
When I called the customer service she said, “Sorry, this is how our system works!” When I told her that I should approve and be informed how the system works, then I decide whether or not I want to agree on that she said, “Sorry, we don’t inform”... “and it is just because you have a debit card “, when I told her it is a credit card she said, “Ohhh, sorry and credit card as well”. She was trying to make me do the same mistake of buying from them without being informed of this unethical method, by trying to convince me that this happens only with debit cards... worse online shopping, worse experience. People try to manage with the money they have, withdrawing it without any permission is just unacceptable. I had important payments to settle, now I can’t, and it is all because of this unethical website.

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.

Received my North Face parka jacket today. Love the style of the jacket and been waiting for this one to go on sale. When I open the box noticed that the jacket has no tags or whatsoever right there and then I knew it was used/return item. I tried it on and when I reach inside the pockets both side have old tissues and noticed that one has a used panty liner inside! Yes a sanitary napkin from someone else’s private. When I called customer service all they can say is sorry. The jacket is sold out. Would love to keep it even when it’s a used item but after what I saw inside the pockets? No thank you!

Ordered a Robert Graham shirt online on a Saturday night. A few hours later, changed my mind and began trying to cancel the order.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

The current atmosphere at Nordstrom is apathetic! I wanted to exchange for store credit a pair of boots that were a gift from my sister-in-law. The boots were new and packaged in the box they came in. They would not give me credit or exchange the boots w/o a gift receipt. They were obviously from their store. This smacks of desperation on Nordstrom's behalf and I, for one, will have torn up my Nordstrom credit card and will no longer shop there.

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.

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. I will be taking all future purchases elsewhere, and will be regularly telling people to not shop at Nordstrom.

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.

I purchased a watch and other items from Nordstrom; however, the watch shipped separately and arrived earlier than the other items. 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 **). Nordstrom used to be the gold standard for customer service but those days are over. I have spent a significant amount of money at Nordstrom over my life but I will never shop there again.

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 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. They caused unnecessary headaches and work because they have an accounting policy that doesn't even make sense!

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.

When I heard Nordstrom decided to remove Ivanka's line, I thought, 'how immature is that?' What is this thin-skinned business coming to? I can't believe you would remove a woman's line b/c her father is the president. You watch and see... other companies will place her line in their stores and her sales will not suffer, they will skyrocket.

I just want people to be aware of my experience so they can know and make educated decisions about their business doings with this company. I went delinquent with my Nordstrom account for the first and only time last Oct/Nov by $42 by 30-45 days. It was an accident (human error) on my part. I got married and went on honeymoon at the end of Nov-Dec 2016. I missed payment and a couple phone calls regarding the delinquency. I had all the financial responsibility of making payments and a lot of payments going out during this time. Of course, once I found out about the delinquency on my credit report, I paid the bill and followed up with a phone call to Nordstrom. They were unwilling to remove the dispute on my credit report. In fact, they were okay with me closing my account with them and vowing never to shop at their stores or subsidiaries again.
Awfully petty for someone with EXCELLENT credit, who had paid the bill and followed up with a phone call to explain. There was no forgiveness. I accept my fault in the delinquency, however, why would you punish a loyal customer who is trying to make it right? I just want everyone to know that if you are late on a payment, they will turn it in to a credit agency. In my case, $42 (30-45 days late). This will have little bearing on my overall credit score which is impeccable except for this one instance, but I will make sure to spread the word. Don't business with this creditor!!!

I am a professional make-up artist as well as my son who mostly does Horror/Creature make-up. We buy lots of cosmetics and skin care to use on our models/clients. We purchased a few Clinique items from Nordstrom. Our model had a very bad allergic reaction so we had to return the items. When we went to return them the Clinique salesperson recommended since a few items we wanted to exchange it for were on-line it would be easier to go on-line, fill out the return form and use the pre-paid postage label, state the items we wanted to exchange them for and the reason for the return which was a pretty bad skin reaction.
On December 3rd, we confirmed that Nordstrom warehouse returns received the items. A couple of weeks go by and we don't hear anything from Nordstrom about the return. NO EMAIL, NO PHONE CALL, NOTHING!!! I had to contact them several times to find out what was going on with the return. First I was told it was lost in the warehouse then I was told they never received it. Finally I was told after almost a month that the items are being returned to me. This is the 29th of Dec. They received the return on the 3rd of Dec. I could have walked it there. Anyway! Nordstrom NEVER!! contacted me or notified me as to why the items were being returned. They were only used once on 1 model whose skin could not tolerate the products and this information was given with the return.
The problem with Nordstrom is that they put on these huge make-up events with salespeople on commission hounding you with the promise that if the products are not up to your satisfaction you can return them NO PROBLEM!! even without a receipt. This is a practice that Bloomingdale's, Macy's and other high end stores have in place just for situations like this and are usually happy to exchange it PLUS! most high end cosmetic brands welcome returns/exchanges with really no problems. They want your business and they stand behind the products. They rent a space in the stores so returns are given back to the company for credit.
Nordstrom does not do this and the salesgirls are very reluctant to return ANYTHING!! in the cosmetic dept. because it comes out of their commission. They are responsible for the return. This is extremely bad business and I am appalled that Nordstrom is so catty and rude about returns. This is why they are losing more and more customers to Macy's and other high end stores like Bloomingdale's - the customer service.

Ordered a coat for a Christmas gift on 12/17/16 with 3 day shipping. By my calculations that would mean it would arrive by 12/20 or 12/21. Of course I assumed it would be arriving no later than 12/24. Imagine my surprise when UPS tracking says it will be delivered on 12/27! Called Nordstrom. The rep indicated it was out of her control. Her suggestion: I call UPS! Or, I call NEW JERSEY where Nordstrom has a coat in stock and see if they will overnight it to me! Hello? Have you ever heard of customer service? So, in my utter frustration I call UPS. HA! Their answer was to blame Nordstrom.
I refused to call New Jersey and get on a wild goose chase. So I called Nordstrom back in hopes of getting a better rep on the phone. Which I did. He ordered another coat with 2 day delivery so it should get here. However. The problem is that when I went to see the tracking status this morning, there is none. This happened to me with the first coat. So, I again call Nordstrom. This time a rep says "Well, they are trying to ship so quickly, you may get the coat before the publish the tracking number." REALLY? So again there's no way for me to know if this coat is coming!
Because of the first coat issue of 10 days to arrive, I've lost a bit of trust. All the reps have indicated the coat comes directly from the vendor who seems to ship without tracking numbers up front. This is so insane. Do I have to go buy a 3rd coat just to make sure I have a gift? The other thing that really frosts me is that Amazon has NO PROBLEM WITH TRACKING NUMBERS! Maybe Nordstrom should get off their hoity toity you know what and look at the shipping/tracking model that Amazon uses! Nordstrom is wondering where all their business has gone? Get a clue.

The Nordstrom website/ordering is not good. You order from them and they bill you immediately. Then they bill you again later as each item ships. Sometime after all of the items ship and after they have individually re-billed you again for each item they will credit back the original amount to clear-up the double-charge. The customer service dept at Nordstrom blames the banks but it has nothing to do with the banks and everything to do with their unethical process. If you use a debit card and there is a multi-item order shipping out of different fulfillment centers you will be charged twice and the money will be out of your account during that double-billing period.
It is only after they ship all the items and post it that your double-charge will be corrected. I recommend calling and complaining to them about this. It is a horrible practice and not one that is followed by the other online retailers. It is essentially improving their short term cash flow at the expense of their customer's bank accounts.

Feeling a little frustrated, I assumed this was a one time occurrence, and gave Nordstrom Rack a second chance.

No one could provide any information as to what was happening with my order. I spoke to several 'supervisors' that have absolutely no additional information to provide.
It is now December 8th, I was reassured 5 days ago the order would be canceled, and my card refunded. I am still waiting for both things to happen. Is it not fraudulent for a company to charge your credit card and not return the money when they cannot fulfill the order?

Although it shipped via UPS, it isn't estimated to arrive until Nov 14th (from California to Illinois). So basically it will take one month get the order. The website doesn't tell you about the delayed shipping; when you receive a confirmation email after placing your order, you'll see very small print stating that the items will take 7-10 days to ship. To me, this unacceptable. What if you purchase a dress for a Christmas party? Or maybe you've purchased something in the Fall season that you'd like to wear before snow hits the ground?
It also seems a bit nefarious that Nordstrom would charge your credit card so far ahead of shipping the item. Most online stores pre-authorize for the amount and then charge once the item has left their warehouse. I've already paid for the items, but I have nothing to show for it. I did call customer service - they said that "We're waiting on a vendor." I ordered multiple items from different brands, so this seems unlikely.

The remaining details are too annoying to go into here, but I want to stress that I wish I had known what so many other people had experienced before I went and ordered what appeared to be such a great deal. There are so many other great companies out there who have discounted quality goods and ship in a timely manner. If you are planning on ordering from Nordstrom Rack for the Christmas/holiday season, good luck with that. Unless there is a confirmed and complete turnaround in Nordstrom Rack's business practices with their consumers, I, definitely will not shop there again.

Same complaint as everyone else. This company has completely lost their **. I placed an order on 10/20. Shipping time: 2-4 days. 4 days later I look at my account and the shipping time went to 7-10 days. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? 11/2: "your order has shipped." They changed my shipping time up to 10 days and it still wasn't out in that time. Customer service has no answers and is of no help. "Internal error and processing was changed, blah blah." Tell your customers these things! I am never shopping online here again.

I have two different orders in to Nordstrom Rack. One on October 18th and one on October 28th. As of today, November 1st, I still have not received my orders and the online status states my order is "awaiting processing before shipment". I have made 2 phone calls to Customer Service with no satisfactory reason why my shipment is delayed nor when my order will be shipped. I have also emailed Customer Service with no response back. On my 2nd phone call the CS rep said "the delay is due to moving processing locations". I don't believe a word. I ordered items in time a month in advance of a vacation. I am so frustrated with this company. This is horrible customer service and will not be ordering from them again.

Same issue as other reviewers within the month of October; I ordered, had my Nordstrom card charged and 2 1/2 weeks later, still no delivery date. Items are "ordered". The explanation given was "system problems due to upgrade." Most disappointing, no real resolution offered as a request to cancel could be submitted, but not guaranteed and they won't refund my card for the amount charged - the amount now due in less than 20 days!! Very bad customer service all around: Chat option is impeccable slow and unhelpful!

Clearly they have a major fulfillment problem. An eBay seller of this quality would be long out of business. Ordered an item that said 'ready to ship'. Payment was taken immediately. Two weeks later, the item hasn't shipped. We were told that they would ship it when they were ready to and there would be no remedy. We asked to cancel the order and were told that that wasn't possible more than 2 hours after ordering. This is a class-action suit in the making.

When a company takes your money and does not provide a product or service, they are stealing from you. I have several orders going back to Oct 14th and yet twelve days later, nothing. Nothing has shipped. No one can tell me when they will ship. They keep changing the estimated shipment times. It went from 2-3 days, to 4-7 now to 7-10. This is pathetic. They make it difficult to cancel orders. I've never heard of a company with slow unreliable shipment timeframes to begin with not allowing customers to cancel before the items ship. Just Nordstrom Quack.
Options for consumers are contest the charge with credit card company, don't ever use debit card online, contact and file a complaint at FTC website, file complaint with your state attorney general website. These business practices are unacceptable and Nordstrom Hack management needs to be held accountable.

I am a frequent customer and for a long time was pleased with Nordstrom Rack's two-day shipping. It worked like clockwork and you could always keep track of your order status online. They changed shipping companies and the shipping speed jumped first to 4-7 days and now to 7-10, with no online updates. Let's just say that 7-10 days is an optimistic estimate at best. I'm giving my business to a different retailer. I can usually find Nordstrom Rack items for the same or better prices at amazon.com, tjmaxx.com or c-21.com and all ship more quickly and cheaply.

Nordstrom Rack was two weeks late on an order I placed online. The package was then shown as delivered (two weeks after the original shipping estimate, which mysteriously and without notice changed from 1-3 days to 4-7 days). Thrilled, I went to retrieve it, but found that the carrier (OnTrac) had either mis-delivered the package or flat out lied about having delivered it at all. I call OnTrac, and they say that they will get in touch with me once they find out what's going on. No response. I call back, and they say that they will check on Monday by 5PM. I inform Nordstrom Rack of the problem, and ask that a supervisor contact me. This request, made several days ago, is likely still pending.
Monday at 5PM rolls around, and I do not receive a phone call from OnTrac. I call Nordstrom Rack to tell them that the package (that was over 10 days late at this point) has now been lost. The person tells me that the claim will be resolved... IN 10 TO 15 BUSINESS DAYS. They were two weeks late with the package, their carrier loses the package, and now are "sorry" that they are keeping my money for 10 to 15 business days? I demand to speak with a supervisor. An hour and fifty minutes of being on hold later, the supervisor, having heard about half the story, picks up the phone. She offers to call the stores to see whether they will be able to ship the item, directly. Mistakenly thinking that she understood that I would like to stay in the loop as far as the status of the issue is concerned, I say, "Great! Thank you." We hang up. I have yet to hear back from them.
Their shipping and logistics department is only exceed in irresponsibility and ineffectiveness by their customer service department, who simply are not getting the job done. Anyone would understand why my having had to go this far to GET THE GOODS I PAID FOR is absurd. But the supervisor didn't step up. Now, I either get to wait BUSINESS 15 days to GET MY ORIGINAL MONEY BACK, on top of the two weeks it took Nordstrom to admit that they botched the order.
I can't say that I will be 100% confident EVER shopping here again, online or in person. There are hundreds of online stores that don't fail this miserably, that don't deny their responsibility, that don't shrug their shoulders and "apologize" when something goes wrong. I couldn't be more grossed out at the thought of making another order with this company.

I placed orders through Nordstrom Rack on 10/10 and again on 10/15. They are still listed ready to ship. I have been in their chat room twice and both times told they could provide no further information. As a long term Nordstrom customer, I am absolutely amazed at the deterioration of the company. Clearly the retail market is changing and not to their advantage. A bright star could have been their online experience, but that now seems worse than retail. Is it time to short the stock?

It has not been over 2 weeks, and the items still show available and will ship within 4-7 days from order. I contacted customer service again! Same story they are back logged and don't know when the items will ship.

Nordstrom Rack - Lower prices and even lower customer service. The items I ordered on the 17th of October were slated to leave the warehouse within 2 - 4 days from the date of order. As soon as I placed the order, however, that number magically changed to 4 -7. So, I called them this past Friday for a realistic shipping time as this order is a birthday gift and needs to be received in a timely manner.
"We are diligently working on all orders and do not have any idea as to when your order will ship." "Ok, so can I cancel my order?". "No. Sorry, we can't." So, my money tied up in an order who knows when will ship, yet my order is "ready to ship" when I check online. Check out their Facebook page - plenty of the same complaints. This is beyond unacceptable and will never shop online with them again and will seriously think about even giving them my in-store patronage.

I have been a Nordstrom customer for many years and with that being said one of my main reasons for coming back is the shopping experience where some of the staff there make it possible. Now I understand that there can be a lot of competition on the floors between the girls. However I have never experienced what I encountered recently.
While browsing in a nearby department I witnessed a beautiful young ** woman fairly new who brings an awesome presence to the store and I have had the pleasure to converse with when trying out the various Accessories, being confronted and bullied by an older woman who I know as a sales associate and has worked there in Accessories for quite some time.
I witnessed the woman pointing her fingers in the young lady's face which obviously made her very uncomfortable. I have not spoken with her about this but the next time I see her I would like to let her know I would be in full support and come forward if she has or were to ever report this. And I can imagine this is probably not the only incident. It just makes you wonder about the Management teams when you see something like this going on, and how this woman thinks she can get away with this sort of thing. I am actually hoping the security cameras can also pick up something!

I ordered items on October 13 for a trip in November. After initially listing in the confirmation email that the items would leave their warehouse in 2-4 days, no shipping confirm was received. Looked up my order and it then changed to leaving their warehouse in 4-7 days. I needed the items within a certain time and as the order fulfillment time had extended, I emailed their customer service to inquire. I received an automated reply that "...We're here to help, so we'll make sure that we get back to you within 24 hours." etc. 24 hours came and went then approaching 48 hours, I sent a follow up email. I receive a "cookie cutter" reply that they're very sorry but they're experiencing days and will send me a shipping confirm when my items ship. I then emailed them to cancel my order as the items won't reach me in time. No response from Nordstrom Rack.
On October 22 I finally called them to cancel. The customer service rep agreed to cancel the order. I asked to speak to someone in charge to let them know all the issues I've experienced. The customer service rep said she isn't allowed access to that information. I told her that I was an angry customer and who does she escalate angry customers to and that I wanted to speak to a supervisor, manager, director, anyone she had available. She then said there was a manager on duty but the wait time to speak with that person is 24-48 hours so they'd put me on a call list.
Then today on October 23 I received a shipping confirmation. I call their customer service line again and am told that there is no record of me calling yesterday and that the items already shipped so it is too late to cancel, but that the items are returnable. I ask the rep why I should have to pay for shipping on top of now being inconvenienced that I have to find time to return the items once I receive them. She began speaking over me and explained that the cancellation wasn't inputted in time yesterday but she can refund me the shipping. This customer service rep decided to raise her voice to continue talking over me so I couldn't explain this ongoing situation of having emailed them to cancel then not being communicated with by Nordstrom Rack on a long delay.
I told her I didn't think it a good idea for her to be arguing with me. She said she wasn't arguing, but continued to speak loudly to talk over me. I asked about her telling me that there was no record of me calling yesterday then was there not a record of me being put on a call list for a manager? She didn't have a direct answer and said she'll put me on the call list. I asked for her name, and she talked to me and wanted my phone number. When I spoke to the other rep yesterday, she could see my phone number on their end. Since I had given today's rep my order number, I assumed she could see my phone number too. I said that she already had my phone number and I wanted her name. She insisted on getting her question answered first and wouldn't give me her name. After the rep and I yelling back and forth, she provided her name as "Letty".
Pretty shocking and appalling to call "customer service" and get into a yelling match with the person who is the customer service rep. Never ever experienced that before. I suppose this suggests that this company doesn't care for the customers and will allow such a variety of issues to happen to one customer in one order. I'm writing this since I can't reach anyone at Nordstrom who can make any positive changes for its customers. Hopefully they will read this and make necessary changes so no one else needs to be treated this way. Definitely won't be shopping there again.

After discussions with Nordstrom Rack customer service today I became curious and looked up reviews to see if it was just me. I have been a huge fan of this company and the last time I ordered online I thought it was a bit slow but gave them another chance. I placed an order on the 10th and wondered where my order was. I checked my order status and items were ready to be shipped. Well, it has been 11 days and no shipping? I waited 45 minutes in chat queue only to be disconnected when I inquired about my order status. That is a crazy long time to wait while the queue time kept going up and down between 2 minutes and 45.
I tried again this evening and reached someone much quicker. It seems that they are upgrading their shipping systems resulting in shipping delays. I was told that my order would hopefully ship in the next 72 hours with no guarantees. That is crazy! 2 weeks to ship product they have in stock. If I am lucky I will have the items in 3 weeks. Items will be returned as I need to source them elsewhere - I can't wait that long. I order items on eBay and get them in 2 days. Something tells me this company is in trouble. I am disappointed as I have always been a big fan.

Apparently, Nordstrom Rack has farmed out its order fulfillment online to a third party so far removed. Customer service can only make vague and ambiguous comments concerning orders. As per the Nordstrom Rack website, orders ship within 4-7 days. Note: they do not mention 'business days'. Nine days later, I have no tracking information. Customer service can only tell me exactly what I see on the website: the order is ready to ship. I did receive an email apologizing for the delay seven days after my order - with no information regarding shipping. Upon calling customer service, I was notified my order would ship in five business days. Today being Thursday and UPS ground taking up to a week, it could be a month before I receive my order.
Good thing I will not need dress shirts for awhile, as I cannot stomach the operational deficiency and cost cutting measures of Nordstrom Rack, even though they have a very nice selection of dress shirts at 63% off retail. Instead of offering 'free' shipping on orders over $100, just make customers pay for shipping. I would easily pay $10 to have my order in a timely manner. To me, saving on shipping is not worth the hassle and wait for an order of three dress shirts to take almost a month to arrive. If I ever do order anything online from Nordstrom Rack again, I'll just expect my items to arrive in a month. Also, didn't Nordstrom buy an online retailer - Hautelook five years ago? Talk about mismanaging and evaporating synergy. How does a company damage a distribution network and its procedures so severely? This is laughable at best.

I've been tracking down authentic Marc By Marc Jacobs purses and wallets for the past few months. I'm a fan of the line and since it is no longer in production I wanted to get genuine pieces that I will not be able to get again. Last week I found a classic MBMJ purse on Nordstrom Rack that I've wanted for years. I bought that and a second purse. A few days later I bought a MBMJ wallet. I had read many negative reviews about this place but I was willing to take a chance to get these pieces. Boy were the complaints right!
First of all it took days for them to ship my first order. Second, when they finally did ship it I did not get an email, I logged into the website and saw that it had finally been shipped. Thirdly, today I go on to check the status of my second order and see that it had been cancelled. BUT, they had already charged my card the week before. The refund that they credited to me today is 10 dollars short of what I actually paid for this item that I am no longer receiving because of the US/Canadian conversion rate. So I lost money on an item that I will not be receiving because Nordstrom charged me for an item that they could not fulfill in inventory.
The final straw is that my 1st order is now stuck at a warehouse in Canada because apparently it is undeliverable (though my address was correct). Now I will be waiting up to another 1-2 weeks to receive that original order. It's a joke. I was so frustrated that I asked the customer service agent if Nordstrom's Rack is legit or is it some bootleg company using the Nordstrom's name? The one thing I will say is the agent was very patient and professional despite my attitude and frustration. However, I will not shop at Nordstrom's Rack again. Now I just have to hope that the items I do receive are in good condition. Do not shop from this place if you can help it. Not worth the money and time.
UPDATED ON 10/07/2016: I have already discussed my horrible experience dealing with this company but felt that I needed to update. After my item being held in a carrier pub because it was "undeliverable" I re-confirmed my correct address that was already on file and waited. I checked my account yesterday and saw that my package had been delivered. I suspected something was wrong because it said it was delivered at 5:30 am, which is highly suspicious. I live in a building with 24 hour front desk and they sign-in every single package and hold it for the residents. My concierge were as surprised as me when I said it was apparently dropped off at 5:30am. As I suspected that was not the case, there was no package. I called Nordstrom who gave me a bunch of different stories... It was on the truck. It was on its way etc. etc. I was told they would look into it and call me back in 10 minutes. She never called back.
Today I called Nordstrom's and apparently they must do an investigation because it says it was delivered on their end. I was shocked. So nearly $600 dollars of product are with someone who did not pay for it. Meanwhile they have already charged my card and I will lose money if it is refunded because I live in Canada and some people will have free product. I have a feeling this could be a "falling off the truck situation". They use this company by the name of Landmark Global and it's very sketchy. They have no way of contacting them so I can't even follow up with the delivery company. I'm furious! And I will not just brush this off. If I had read the many negative reviews about Nordstrom Rack prior, I would never have made these purchases. Buyer Beware, there is something fraudulent happening with this company and Nordstrom should start paying attention and nip this in the butt ASAP! It's not fair to customers.

I am a loyal Nordstrom shopper and out of the hundred times I've been there, maybe had 1-2 bad experiences. Online call center has always been great with me. They will even send an exchange BEFORE they receive the old item. I'm so surprised to read so many bad reviews here. Once in awhile they will cancel your order if it cannot be fulfilled but rarely do I order anything I "need" per se. Another time I received a dress I think someone tried on and ripped but they took care of it.

Let's face it folks, if you want something super fast, you'll order it from Amazon. And if you have PRIME, you'll have it the next day or 2nd day. Nordstrom generally ships from the west coast, Washington state or in some cases, Canada. They ship Ground UPS which is basically turtle express. From the time they tell you, your item has shipped, you can count on another week to 10 days to get your items if you're on the east coast. Recently, I ordered a pair of men's sneakers. Never thinking they would take two weeks to get here, I waited with baited breath only to see they were shipped from Canada. Seriously? I didn't learn from my mistake however. I ordered a Tommy Bahama shirt. Again, it's coming UPS, turtle ground and will arrive in about a week... another two week order, turtle express.
Please think long and hard if you want something in a hurry. Nordstrom is as bad as Kohl's, another turtle express operation. It's no wonder, Amazon is putting these retailers in hard times. Even LL Bean changed their fast delivery when once upon a time they delivered 2nd day FedEx and in some cases, you received your item the next day, depending on location... Their free delivery takes 3 to 5 days and that's if you're on the east coast as they are. The biggest problem with these turtle express retailers, is they don't let you know how long it really will take until after the order has been shipped and it's too late to cancel.

Today, 26th of May it has been 2 and a half month since we placed an online order at Nordstrom.com. Today, despite their promises, we gave up hoping that soon Nordstrom will deliver all items in this order and went to an alternative retailer. Not a single time over the course of these two months have we been offered a discount or a tiny gift voucher for the troubles and the inconvenience we had to go through. Here is our story: In March 2016 in anticipation of the arrival of our first baby, me and my husband ordered a Mutsy stroller + accessories via Nordstrom.com. The complete package included: 1 Stroller frame; 1 Seating module; 1 Bassinet; 1 Car seat adapter; 1 Water resistant foot-muff. Total: $1200.
Two weeks later we received a big box containing, according to the documents attached, all of the above listed items. However when we opened the box we found only one item in it - seating module! Kept in mind that the shipping documentation stated that all items were included. Despite our efforts to search the insides of the box...the rest of the items could not be found in it. :/ We called the customer service immediately. After giving it a bit of a doubt, the representative finally believed what we said and offered a solution. Upon which Nordstrom will refund the missing items and we order them again. With a bit of a sour aftertaste we agreed hoping that this was a fluke that can happen to any shop.
Two weeks after that, a new big box arrived accompanied by a paper proudly listing all the missing items as the contents of the box. Guess our surprise when upon opening it we discovered only the bassinet inside (still missing Foot-muff and car seat adapter)! This discovery was followed by a call to the customer service. This time they promise to investigate the problem and come back with a solution (this time we refused to do the "refund-reorder" fix again). After having waited for almost two weeks for Nordstrom to fulfill their promise and call us with an update, we contacted them. Nothing has been done since our call two weeks before!!! But a new promise was gladly issued that the situation will be fixed.
Indeed, a few days after we received a call explaining that it is not Nordstrom's fault but a fault of Mutsy and the mix-up originated on their side. A new promise that the missing items would be delivered within two weeks was made. Two weeks later...which is this week (May 23rd) we have neither received the missing items or heard anything from Nordstrom. Again we called their CS who could not explain the situation or suggest anything else but...cancel the order and reorder the items again! Reluctantly we agreed. This time Nordstrom's CS representative would order the items for us herself and let us know immediately when it is done. Three days later still no such call or email was received by us. This was the last straw that broke the camel's back. We called Nordstrom and canceled this order. The end.
The amount of stress we had to go through reordering and literally herding Nordstrom's CS is immense given the fact that the stroller and accessories were ordered to arrive for the birth of our first child! It was and is extremely upsetting that at no point have we been offered a discount or a gift voucher upon having to reorder the missing items ourselves (missing by the fault of Nordstrom)! It is infuriating that despite an extremely poor CS and the order management system, Nordstrom made profit out of our purchase! I cannot describe how disappointing and upset we are! I advise everyone who wish to purchase anything via Nordstrom.com to think twice before they do it.

I live in Alberta where there is Nordstrom's flagship Canadian store. I ordered two dresses online. Without stating so on the website, the items were shipped from the U.S. I was then charged $97.26 U.S. In duty & taxes. I ended up returning the dresses and they would not refund that amount. Talk about shady – they never mentioned this charge at time of order & now I was forced to pay $97 for merchandise I don't even have! I don't recommend order anything online from them in Canada. If you have them order for you in the store, there is not duty charged, even though they are importing that same merchandise from U.S. Surprised this giant usually known for customer service has to operate like this. Never again for me.
Their customer service representative agreed with me that their website needs to be more transparent with regard to international shipping. They do state on their returns information that they won't refund shipping costs, but there is no mention of not refunding duties & taxes. This seems to be less than full disclosure on the part of Nordstrom.

I had a really bad experience with Nordstrom Rack last year. I had a gift card from Nordstrom that stated on the back I could also use it at Nordstrom Rack. I was really excited to use it. I looked up items online and had over $100 dollars worth of items in my cart when I went to pay with the gift card. I kept getting an error and eventually called customer service. They told me they were updating to a new system of some sorts called HauteLook and that the gift card while valid, was not set up for online ordering yet. They told me to buy all of the items using my credit card and then take it to the store once I got my items and there they would be able to help me transfer the payment to the gift card. They reassured me I should have no problem with this, but little did I know it would turn into a huge problem.
Once I got all my items, I went to the store and was there for over 2 hours. I remained patient the whole time, when eventually the customer service lady started to get really mean with me, because she didn't know how to do returns and the way she was doing them wasn't correct. I calmly explained the situation to her and how I just needed to get it so my items were on the gift card and not my credit card and that was my whole purpose of the transaction. She got really frustrated with me and kept telling me she would return them and then I would buy it back on my credit card, and I kept explaining that no I wanted to avoid paying on my card, the whole point was to pay with the gift card. Without trying to understand the full process she sort of got defeated and signed a whole lot like I was causing this huge problem for her, when I was only doing what the sales rep over the phone had told me to do.
She tried a few things and then would get mad and say she had to cancel the transaction and this whole time I just silently watched her take out her frustration. At one point she was trying to return my items and give me less than I had paid for (since the cost of some things had gone down since I bought them), and re-buy the items. In the end I didn't even want the items anymore and just asked for it all to be returned since it was becoming such a hassle for her, and even this became a problem. At one point she even had to call for help, and rudely in front of me told the other assistant incorrect information about what I was trying to do and how I was causing a hassle for her and she didn't know how to do returns. So then the assistant was confused but eventually after I got to explain, she helped me return the remaining items which the first lady hadn't already scanned.
This second assistant was able to hep me return some of the items, but the ones the first lady return did not go through properly. I noticed this just recently because I looked at my credit card history for the last year and saw there was a huge error still, it shows the purchase I made online from Nordstrom Rack but only some of my orders were successfully returned. My original purchase was for $121.65, and then it shows two different subtotals for $85.32 and $6.49 for a total of $91.81, still missing $29.84. I don't know what she did but now when I look online at my account it says the order is canceled.
I have all of the receipts to prove I did get them and even that she tried to return it multiple times with no luck and kept cancelling the order return. I was not able to check this at the store since the first lady told me that what she did was correct and it would all go back to my card eventually, but unfortunately it did not. Overall it was such a terrible, and time consuming experience and I lost money in the process.

I ordered few items that totaled over $150 which I was assured that I will get free shipping on, as it clearly states on the top right corner of the site. Upon finishing the order there was a $17.95 shipping fee. I assumed that fee will be deducted after I hit place the order tab. Unfortunately it didn't. It was a Saturday morning and was getting breakfast for kids. After few hours I checked my email and saw the order confirmation and on it that shipping fee was still there!!
I called immediately. The guy on the end said that I had a 2 hour window to call and that if orders were over 5lbs in weight that there was going to be a charge, and since I called 1 hour and 21 minutes after the 2 hour window they can't cancel the order, but he will try to email them and see if it still possible. Monday morning, no call or email to let me know what happened. I called and the lady on the other end said she is sorry and that it is stated on each item if it's over 5lbs that there was going to be a shipping charge, WHICH there wasn't anything like that!!! JUST be aware of the SCAM of charging a shipping fee!!!
