Nordstroom Reviews Summary

Nordstrom's reputation is increasingly marred by customer dissatisfaction, particularly regarding order fulfillment, delivery issues, and inadequate customer service. Many customers report frustrations with canceled orders, unresponsive support, and unresolved return disputes, leading to feelings of disrespect and loss of loyalty. Conversely, some reviews highlight positive experiences with product quality and timely deliveries, particularly for in-store purchases. Overall, while Nordstrom maintains a legacy of quality offerings, the current challenges in customer service and fulfillment practices suggest a need for significant improvements to restore customer trust and satisfaction.

Excellent Service
July 2, 2017

This past Christmas I had sent an item only to find out my relative already had the item. I called the customer service at nordstrom and they stoped the package, processed my return and resent a different item expedited service. They went above and beyond in a situation I thought they could not. Love the service here.

Website difficult to navigate. Too many links; it's overwhelming. Search tool yields thousands of items, few are what you were looking for. Just very disappointing - attempting to find products is crazy, interface is busy and self-important instead of clear and customer-focused. Nordstrom was legendary for service... but sadly seem to have lost its way. BTW: Cancelling Ivanka Trump was simply mean-spirited. Nordstrom is not a PAC or political organization. Get the focus BACK on customers/brilliant service across the board. Otherwise, I have cancelled Nordstrom from my retailer list. I wish Nordstrom the best and everyone employed there. May you return to SERVICE as the Nordstrom way. Thank you.

POLITICAL interests
April 6, 2017

They treat customers as their POLITICAL campaign interests. Get rid of IVANKA TRUMP line due to their political interest. This is all about democrat! Stop shopping here and cancel my credit card!

I save shopping here for special occasions like my daughter's weddinlg. I got a pair of velvet flats that were to die for and they were so comfortable I didn't have to take them off to dance.

All time favorite!
April 2, 2017

I love Nordstrom, The Rack and HauteLook! They have the best customer service and always puts the customer first. I've gotten $60 in rewards since last August just for shopping at this great company! I live in a small southern state that only has a Dillard's and Belks yet I don't shop at these stores. I go online to Nordstroms first. You can't go wrong with free shipping and free returns all the time. Love this company! Please don't change your product and continue to put your customers first!

Damage dress
March 13, 2017

I purchased the dress for my daughter winter dance. They keep sending me damage dress. 4 times sending the dress back to a different Nordstroms. I don't understand why they don't check before they ship out the merchandise. To even exchange the dress they have to keep charging my card for another dress until they gotten the return. That was ridiculous!

I have bought shoes, boots and clothes. They arrive promptly and when I return something within 5 days I get a refund. It is a pleasure to shop there, you always get what you pay for.

I was not a Nordstroms shopper until recently. I have been in their stores but there was never "enough" of anything. About three years ago, while looking for a coat I decided to try their store. And placed an order. Their shipping is free. Their returns are free. The quality of their products is far beyond any I have purchased in most retail establishments. And, most importantly, their sales are great. I have continued to shop there over the years and have never been disappointed.
