Last Christmas 2022, I placed an order for a gift and they cancelled it 8 days later- so I was out a gift 3 days before the gift exchange. I should have learned! This year, 2023, I ordered Men's Ugg boots for my son on 12/9/23, and on 12/14/23 I received women's waterproof walking boots instead. I am DONE with this company. Their online customer chat showed no care and typos.

I received a lot of inaccurate information ("Package was delivered last Thursday," for example) and was told I would have to pay for items I never received. Fortunately, the items did arrive five days after. Very unprofessional and irresponsible. Also asked me to report to the police if I missed the package. I will not shop with them anymore.

Rude workers
December 14, 2023

I purchased some items from nordstrom rack and asked for a gift receipt but only got a regular receipt so when i asked for the gift receipt the girl working the register said it already went through and didn't even try to fix it and rolled her eyes at me when i asked her to try again or call for a manager

These are really the worst shoes I've ever had, I just wore them once and can throw them away. Therefore, I warn you not to buy there, the quality does not justify the price.

Shady
December 7, 2023

Waited a day after my purchase and then charged me more than I authorized. So I haven't even received my stuff yet and Nordstrom Rack is already firmly on my black list. Do yourself a favor and shop elsewhere.

They lost my business
December 5, 2023

Hate when they use UDS to deliver my packages. I have had nothing but my orders being delayed with UDS. I was told a delivery date several times but my package didn't show. I was told by agents yesterday if I did not get my package by the end of the day yesterday, I could contact back and request a refund. Today I reach out for a refund since I didn't get my package, the agent decided to tell me they can't do that for me and to basically wait til the 12th. So then they transfer me to someone else and they tell me they can't do a refund because it was out for delivery today. I am beyond pissed. Whether it was out for delivery or not I still should get a refund. Their customer service and policies suck. They do not care how you feel or go by what they tell you.

Ordered gifts for baby. Explicitly requested items be mailed directly to giftee. Spent 30 minutes on phone gave both billing address and mailing address for the recipient. Did this because I was going on extended vacation which they CSR and myself discussed. Indicated what I wanted on gift card. Of course I got an email and to my dismay the order was shipped to me. Called customer service and was not items were in transit. This all occurred within a 24 hour period. Saks will be the future online site for me

Won't return new boots!
November 24, 2023

I ordered the wrong size ( based on the reviews) of booties and they were final sale so they will not exchange or return so I can get my size. Bastards considering they were $28 and how much I shop At Nordstrom rack. They lost me as a customer. $#*!s!

False Advertisement is against the law. Bait and switch unethical business tactics are what you can expect at Nordstromrack.com.

I purchased 1 pair of ray-ban sunglasses and rayban sunglasses always come in their ray-ban box fully sealed. Not if you buy them at Nordstromrack.com. What you receive at Nordstromrack.com is the ray-ban case with shrink-wrap wrapped around the sunglasses case.

I called customer service and complained and asked for a return label.

I ordered another hoping that the first order was a fluke. But the second order came In the same way.

I opened up the case and looked at the sunglasses and the lenses are Soiled with fingerprint smudges?

So I return both sunglasses and now have to wait 14 day for a refund?

Free returns they say... THEY'RE NOT FREE IF YOU NEED PAPER AND INK AND TAPE AND A CAR WITH GASOLINE TO GO DROP OFF AN ITEM YOU SHOULD HAVE NEVER RECEIVED IN THE FIRST PLACE. NOT TO MENTION MY TIME!

I'M UPSET WITH MANAGEMENTS UNWILLINGNESS TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT WITH AT THE VERY LEAST A FASTER REFUND TUME FRAME.

SHOPPERS BEWARE... CHECK YOUR PRODUCTS... DO A SMELL TEST FOR CLOTHING BECAUSE YOU ARE SURE TO RECEUVE EITHER A FLOOR MODEL PERHAPS TRIED ON SEVERAL TIMES BY STORE SHOPPERS OR A RETURNED ITEM 60 TO 70% OF THE TIME! JUST BECAUSE IT HAS A TAG DOENST MEAN THE ITEMS ARE NEW!

Read the screenshots of the "Customer Service" you can expect when you receive used products instead of the new ones they're advertising.

I'm upset that i received what seems like a floor model pair of RayBan Sunglasses. The lenses were soiled with fingerprints and the sealed box they're supposed to come in was missing.

Now I have to drive over to a Fed-Ex drop off point to fix your problem.

To add insult to injury, it's bad enough that i have to absorb the cost associated with dropping that return off but i'm also being charged a return fee, up front, that will be refunded if i request it. That's nonsense.

I asked for a courtesy discount voucher for the inconvenience and none was given.

Isn't NEW supposed to mean NEW?

Had that item actually been in the condition it was advertised in, i wouldn't have to be bothered with fixing your problem.

False advertisement is when you mislead or bait & switch. I feel it's misleading to advertise new items for sale and ship floor models or returned iitems instead of what is expected. That's what typically happens at this company.

Shoppers beware or else you may be having to invest time and personal resources to correct Nordstrom Rack's ball-dishonest business practices!

I purchased 2 pairs of Lacoste sunglasses on May21st from the Nordstrom Rack website.

The Nordstrom Rack website shows delivery carrier performing delivery to be FEDEX. I clicked on the tracking link and FEDEX has no record of the package in their system.

It turns out UPS was the actual carrier that would be delivering the much anticipated package containing my Lacoste items. Below is a quick breakdown.

Label is created on May 24th. Product is shipped on May 24th. The item is returned to Sender on the 27th May from California to N. Y. - Item is OUT FOR DELIVERY in Melville N. Y. on June 4th at 09:24 A.M. and delivered and signed for at 10:53 on June 4th.

The reason why i show the information above is because there is NO MENTION of the package being OUT FOR DELIVERY to my home on the UPS website. WHY? Because the Shipper (LACOSTE) intercepted the package on the 26th of MAY (an entire day) before it reached the UPS VERNON CA HUB.

I spoke to Erik (Nordstrom Rack Weekend Supervisor) and he made no mention of an intercept. He mentioned that Lacoste used UPS though Nordstrom Rack had provided LACOSTE with a FEDEX label for my parcel. He mentioned that He would call UPS on Monday to ask why the package never showed OUT FOR DELIVER to my residence and also WHY there was no mention of an ATTEMPTED DELIVERY to my Residence. I truly doubt he will call me back as I'm sure this has happened to several customers several times in the past 2 weeks or so.

WHY WOULD LACOSTE INTERCEPT THIS PACKAGE ON THE 26th of MAY, HAVE IT RETURNED TO THEIR MELVILLE N. Y. FACILITY ON THE 4th of JUNE AND NEVER BOTHER TO SEND ANY KIND OF COMMUNICATION REGARDING THE ISSUE I DETAILED ABOVE?

THIS HAS TO BE FALSE ADVERTISEMENT!

I ordered 2 more LACOSTE sunglasses from Nordstrom Rack on the 28th of MAY (before I discovered that the first order was intercepted and routed back to shipper at shipper's request). Once again Nordstrom Rack shows FEDEX but UPS is the actual carrier that was assigned. UPS shows that the label was created on the 1st June and Shipped on 1st of June. NO FURTHER UPDATE OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER AND IT'S THE 5TH OF JUNE!

I bet anything that this order was cancelled before it actually ever shipped. AH... ONE LAST THING.
Nordstrom Rack has an extremely slow refund process even if you take the item you wish to return to an actual NORDSTROM RACK STORE, the refund will take 5 to 8 business days to be processed and an other 5 business days for your bank to show refund as having been received and available in your account.

NOT THIS TIME. MY REFUND WAS MADE AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY... AND NOT BY MY REQUEST. AND NOT BY A SUPERVISOR OR MANAGER. IT WAS OFFERED AND PROCESSED BY A CONTRATCOR IN SOUTH AMERICA THAT NORDSTROM RACK FARMS OUT THEIR CALL CENTER TO AFTER BUSINESS HOURS.

I HAVE PROOF OF EVERYTHING I POST ALWAYS!

I will never order online again. Four items missing out of eleven. Items are no longer in stock to replace, so I'm out some great deals I found because either an employee stole the items or was incompetent and couldn't do their job. Customer service said 'I MAY' get a refund for the missing items; I'll know in three days and was unable to offer any other compensation.

Apparently even a "manager" cannot return an item with tags on, in the original shopping bag, and with a receipt, if it's dated anything over 60 days. Might have gotten further if I "lost" my receipt. Doesn't make any sense. I worked retail in Seattle for many years when Nordstrom was known for their customer service; in particular, accepting return on a set of tires! This got them decades of positive and free publicity. Guess those days are gone, but in a world with fewer free-standing retailers you would think customer service would be more important. Oh well… time to shop elsewhere…

Bad quality, bad service

Please don't buy online! There are holes all over my blouse. The product description does not indicate that it is damaged. They refuse to return the money. The customer service stopped responding. No more online shopping! Bad quality, bad service.

Ridiculous Return Fees
October 9, 2023

I bought a pair of shoes & paid a total price of $41.13. The shoes did not fit so I returned them figuring I'd lose the shipping fee of $9.95. I received a refund of $21.23 which means it ended up costing me $19.90 to return the shoes. Outrageous. I'll never buy from Nordstrom Rack again.
