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.

I had emailed twice about returning my boots, which I ordered as size nine just to find out they fit as though they were two sizes smaller. I returned the boots but NEVER heard anything back, no refund no call, no email, Nothing! I emailed them again only to yet again be ignored! They owe me my money back as Canada Post has confirmed they received the boots back, yet they choose to ignore my requests. I am now out over $200 with nothing to show, except that I have been taken by this fraudulent company! I am furious that they can even operate like this with such low values placed on the consumer, The CONSUMER whom without us the Company would be nothing! Think about that before you choose to ignore your consumers. I was planning on buying a different style of boot with my return money, but realize the risks with this company are too high for my pocket book. I have filed a complaint with Paypal, perhaps next I will contact the better business bureau & a lawyer!

My mom reminds me to take a look at the products, tough I'm not really used to buy things especially tops online. Good thing, I I tried it last week and so far I'm comfortable with it.

I know this site is expensive but the quality of merchandise is equal to the price. I have a Nordstrom Visa card and earn points whenever I use the card. They then send me certificates usually valued at $20.00. Once I signed up on line they keep track of my certificates for me. I ordered a new travel bag for my husband for Christmas. It arrived within a few days in perfect condition. By the time they took all my certificates off the price I got it for 1/3 the cost. I'm glad I have the Nordstrom Visa card. You can use it anywhere and earn points.

You cannot go wrong shopping at Nordstrom.com They carry top quality items and give great service with free shipping. Even on returns. They are one of my favorite places to shop.

I received an email from Nordstrom Rack saying an order I placed December 7 for some slippers was shipped on December 10, but here it is December 21 and they still have not arrived. I looked at the tracking information and the package sat in the Nordstrom Rack warehouse for 7 days before it was even picked up by UPS, and is now scheduled for delivery Christmas Eve. I figured UPS Ground was satisfactory when ordering as early as I did, especially since I sent a package cross country to my son that got there in 7 days. I was hoping to see the quality of the gift before I give it to my wife on Christmas morning. Now I won't have time to replace them if they are not satisfactory. Thank God this isn't the only gift I got her. I have yet to receive a response from customer service from an inquiry I sent in last week. Avoid this store! There are better places to shop.

Crapy Service
December 6, 2015

My Order Number: ******* was placed 11/29/2015
11//30/2015 Item is still available within Nordstrom store.
12/03/2015 contacted Customer Support - Order not yet shipped. Beauty Stylist said: "Today is day fourth. Your Oder will be shipped today or tomorrow".
12/06/2015 Order Cancelled - Unable to Fulfill...

DO NOT ORDER from this store if you need something ASAP!
Customer support - lie to his customer
This store absolutely not care about his reputation

BEWARE Nordstrom store

Beware of ordering on line. Nordstrom advertises on the web site products it no longer has in stock, will take the order and credit card info then cancels the order two days later (too bad if you have bought accessories to go with it!) no System in place for inventory control? Phone customer Service is a 15 min hold time... not good

If you ever should have a problem with online shopping, Nordstrom will never question it and immediately solve it. I ordered a few items and never received the package. This was a first. Called customer service and couldn't have been more understanding. Extremely professional and the items were resent and I was never billed for the items not received. Loyal customer forever.

This company is UNO A or the best in customer service and quality so far. I am a savvy shopper and I've shopped from "Ross" to Neiman Marcus. So, with that being said, yes, go and buy tires at Nordstrom!

Great Online Shopping

I ordered some leather joggers online but I was able to pick them up at Nordstorms in Dallas. They literally had my pants ready the next day for pick up.My pants looked exactly like the picture. This is one of my places to shop online.
