Nordstrom marked two packages as "delivered" that never arrived (12 days after their initial arrival date). Took 45 minutes on the phone with customer service to get items re-shipped. However, they were out of most of the items in the original order at this point. The worst part is that they still had the full package, they just refused to deliver it as it was being sent back to the warehouse. The item had been out for delivery for 12 days and I was never contacted by the delivery team during this period. Nordstrom is refusing to refund me until the package is received at their warehouse center. No longer ordering from Nordstrom in the future.

I have been buying through Nordstrom for many years. I have never had problems with returns. However the last two returns that I sent back were never received thus no refund. I lost $300.00 by this return not refunded to me. I am canceling my Nordstrom card.

It takes forever for a return to be processed, and they fight you every step of the way. They used to have great customer service now it’s absolutely horrible.

Whats happening to Nordstroms? I was at the Old orchard to day. The girl in the bra department was so rude. They have always had such nice people working the stores.

I ordered my sandals on July 29. Each update on Nordstrom and OnTrac was wrong daily. Each phone call to Nordstrom and ONTrac respectively yielded a different story and pointing of fingers. Yesterday I see the package is expected by 9PM. Stayed outside waiting for package after dinner until 9:30PM. Never arrived. This morning I get a notification that it was delivered to my doorstep just before 9PM. LIES. I called Nordstrom customer service (turns out it is an offshore call center) and am informed that I need to wait 3 days before the “research team” can credit my card and ascertain what happened. Soooo sad. I have loved Nordstrom since I got my first real job out of college. If I were in charge of customer service, I would offer expedited delivery via a reputable carrier at an additional charge and force the OnTrac delivery driver to photograph where they claim they left the package. Well worth $20 bucks to me. No more.

This is the 1st time for me to submit a review. I didn't receive my Nordstrom order(s) that show they were delivered on the same day (8/4/2021). These items are part of their anniversary sale and unable to purchase it directly from the store. This is a gift for 2 young ladies birthdays and now I don't have a gift. They are investigating and I should hear from them in approx. 3 daysper Juan from their chat line. I requested to re-order the 2 items and they do not have in the sizes that I ordered. I'm SOL & very disappointed!

The system is a mess. I bought gift cards on Nordstrom but every time I placed an order, it got canceled automatically. I replaced the orders multiple times, and contacted customer service multiple times. They either said there was nothing they could do, or further wrongly charged my credit cards and then sent me unusable egift cards. Wasted huge amount of time.

I will never shop there again based on the way they are disrespectful to their customers. Prices are inflated and the merchandise is mostly something you would find at Macy’s. The personnel is incredibly snooty. Bathroom is filthy. This looks like a store that is having financial trouble. Customer service is nonexistent which is a problem for a store that claims to provide a good shopping experience. More like a shopping nightmare. I won’t return.

Nordstrom shipped my items, got an email while I was home saying it was delivered. Never found a box anywhere. Customer service said they’d open a investigation, a day later received an email saying I would not be refunded, what!? So I’m essentially paying them for nothing. Crooks! Go after USPS, not the innocent customer! Nordstrom used to immediately credit me or send out the items again when this happened in the past. Something has majorly changed recently. And whomever they use as their delivery service is horrible.

I am a long time customer. I rarely, if ever, return anything. I sent a return, with the Nordstrom label, via USPS and still no credit. I did what they told me to do. The tracking info shows that the package was picked up by the shipping agent. I will no longer spend my money at Nordstrom. This is a debacle and quite unprofessional. Any company that uses USPS is crazy. USPS should be abolished. Never again Nordstrom. I have spent quite a lot of money at your company. No more. Do better!

I would love to shop at Nordstrom’s every week. But the shipping is terrible and I’m aware it’s the holiday season BUT when I’m told by the usps that package was sent 5 days after I ordered and has not even been picked up a week after I ordered. That is a problem. This is a important package for a court hearing and I’m so upset. I’ve called Nordstrom’s customer care waited numerous times and the shortest wait of all was over 40 minutes and 70 percent of the time I’m hung up or cannot understand what the operator is saying. I’m pretty sure I’ll shop at Nordstrom’s forever I love them but the shipping and customer care could use an upgrade. So unless I can pick up at store doubt I will shop online. Very frustrating especially when you wait an hour or more to get an operator you can’t understand or says I’m sorry I know nothing?!!!!

Nordstrom is spiraling. I ordered a red sweatshirt for my niece well in advance of Christmas. She never received it - which is bad enough, I know I’m not alone with everything going on. The issue I have is that they will not issue a refund. Why, Nordstrom? Who is in charge of your customer experience? Please fire them. They are not doing a good job. If there was an option to select 0 stars, I would. Is the leadership team of Nordstrom getting bonuses this year?? The BOD should really be looking at the c-suite of this company, although I think it’s a lost cause at this point.

I called Nordstrom and placed an order for an item my husband wanted for Christmas. I paid extra for expedited shipping. Nordstrom's representative incorrectly input my address and my item was delivered to the wrong address. Even though it was their error they are sending it to their shipping department to discuss it with FedEx. They did not offer any solution other than this is "protocol." What about customer service and doing everything to make sure the customer gets what they deserve. Apparently that is not how Nordstrom does business. Now I have to wait for them investigate - and no present for my husband, no refund, no tangible solutions offered. I am so disappointed. I will no longer purchase from them.

Can't speak with customer service, online chat service does not work. Order in limbo, beware making purchases from Norstrom that have any time constraints, they are awful to deal with.

Went to Nordstrom today ! Watched Sarah graceful address a man walking in with a 10 year old boy ( no mask on boy) and man didn’t cover his nose. She handled it professionally and respectful! As a fellow shopper can’t get over how many men mostly not wearing mask , show some respect and try at always! Sarah provides excellent Customer service to my 23 year old and myself ( friendly , checked frequently if we needed anything else and not pushy ! She made our experience wonderful! Definitely going back .

Went into Nordstrom Fashion Square on Monday 11/31...to do a return without a mask. And was ORDERED to put a mask on by 4 people at return counter. (Super rude....little short guy with glasses....manager) Very inappropriately YELLING at me over counter. There is NO LAW that states you can enforce this... Better yet....Nordstrom chose to belittle and did respect their customer over their employees and total ignorance regarding this "virus" Infringing on someone's 1st amendment is unlawful.... No matter what you THINK about masks. Stop being brainwashed and pathetic Nordstrom. Your customer service excellence is GONE...the minute I had 4 employees telling me how to breathe. Based on most of the reviews U see posted here... You are on a downhill slope to nothing. It's sad...but somehow You made hand sanitizer and masks More important than the Nordstrom experience Which is what MADE you.

Used to be amazing customer service lots of friendly staff but lately it’s gone downhill . Was treated horribly by Footwear Manager and Staff ( not all ) in regards to a return . Misleading stating that there is no time limit in returns . Used to be my favourite place to shop ... I guess Covid Pandemic has changed things my guess ???!

Every-time I spent hours looking for something I love, once I purchase it, Nordstrom is quick to charge my card and hold my money for 24 hours before sending an email that “order is cancelled”. If you can’t keep up with your inventory, for the love of God, stop advertising it and charging customers!!!!!! It’s the worst feeling to have your money taken and be excited to receive your item just to find out it’s been “sold out”. It happened to me too many times with Nordstrom, unacceptable and disappointing. That’s the reason I go shopping to different stores now, I feel cheated with them.

On Wed, 8/26/2020 purchased a Moncler vest from the Scottsdale, AZ store, but noticed that a wrong, higher price was charged, different from the tag (full) price. Had to call customer service, the store, and it was eventually corrected. Received the vest a few days later (sz 3), and regretfully, it was too big. On Friday, 9/4, drove to the Scottsdale store, tried on a size 2 in a different color and it fit much, much better. However, the store did not have it black, which is the color I needed, so the associate went to order it for me (they had a size 2, but it was actually a miss marked size 1). The paper receipt I got at the time did not have a vest size on it, so when I got home, I logged on to my computer to see the order status, and I notice that the order was for a Sz 1 instead of Sz 2!! ): Since the store closed, I called customer service to cancel the order, but they tried and told me they could not due to the order status (in process, has not shipped yet, but cannot cancel??), but to call the store the next day and see if they can do anything. The next day (9/5) I did that and the store told me they are in the same position as the customer service, so I'll have to receive the wrong size jacket (and take my time again) and return it. Also, was asked to wait for the associate who sold it to me to come in at 1PM, so she can correct and order the right size for me. Then, I went to my local Nordstrom Rack store (there is no Nordstrom store in Tucson, AZ) to return the too large Sz 3 and they were telling me it was already returned!! So, they figured out that I was sent a wrong receipt and when the price was adjusted, a new order was processed, so finally got that returned. Unnecessary difficulties! Went back home, (could have ordered from Boomingdale's or elsewhere), understanding that none of these mistakes were made intentionally, called the Scottsdale store associate to order a Sz 2 and I did, at this point ask if I could possibly get some discount/employee discount, due to this huge, endless ordeal. She asked the manager and the manager refused. I expressed my disappointment (and I was consistently professional and courteous with everyone I spoke with) and she offered that I speak with the manager, Shawn and I said sure, thank you. I nicely explained everything to the manager / Shawn, said that I never had an experience with Nordstrom like this, that I love shopping at the Nordstrom company and hoped that there would be something (i.e. employee discount), like other companies do when they make (multiple!!) mistakes (airlines give vouchers, hotels give better rates, other comparable stores give 10, 20% discounts, etc.) and she expressed she couldn't believe all that's happened to me, apologized and said there was nothing she could do!!!??? After I expressed my disbelief, she offered expedited "overnight" shipping, (((: which would allegedly get me the jacket in 4 days actually (on Wednesday and today is Saturday!), but NO discount!! Until now, I must say, I regarded Nordstrom as one of the world class companies, which I truly enjoyed wherever I traveled, but world class companies take care of their customers, especially if they, the company, made so many mistakes and put the customer through so much, where the customer has to take so much of their valuable time to have the store's/company's mistakes corrected!!! HIGHLY disappointed, so wanted to share my experience with others and on forums, etc. Update: My last, "overnight shipping" order from 9/5 was finally shipped late on Tuesday, 9/8 and scheduled to be delivered on Thursday, 9/10 (tomorrow)!! Sad!!
