Thank you, Nordstrom, for making my day with my 93-year-old mother wonderful!!! It all started with David in the shoe department. David is a fabulous salesman. David was wonderful he answered all my questions looked at the shoes my mother was wearing and brought out additional pairs that would work and they did!! The waitress in the cafe was also a treat we sit for lunch and tells my mother about the special that was lamb which is my mother's favorite and she loved it. We continued on to another department cannot remember the name, but they were so respectful of my mother they found her a chair and she continued to find a shirt and a jacket that she liked!!! We had the best day I just want to thank Nordstroms for having such wonderful employees representing the company. Thank you for the memories!!! Diane Baldwin

I have been a Nordstrom Customer from the early 60's. Have never returned an item. Now I live 3 hours away and at almost 76 years old driving on freeways and heavy traffic hard on me alone. I ordered about 15 items and when they arrived there were NO RECEIPTS, RETURN POSTAGE SHIPPING LABELS??? With my last 30 homes, I have always lived close and driving not an issue. Returning items now I had to find a box and wrote down information helpful to enclose a return. I paid for postage and started having a bad, sick feeling of the negative Customer Service. Today I placed an order an spoke to a gentleman in Customer Service. I asked him what he thought a paper receipt and return label would cost compare to losing a Customer of many years?? I don't think he cared or was even listening to my concerns. I retured in 1995 and last month had exterior eye surgery due to severe car accident. After my conversation the Nordstrom Agent told me my order was cancelled !!! NO FEELING,CONCERN, FOR ME ??? NORDSTROM WAS always an A PLUS in Customer Service, but not anymore. Bill Nordstrom would be rolling over in his grave at what has happened to his company. Just charge 10 cents more for the receipt and keep your long time Customer who spent high end money earlier.

I received my order damaged. I reached out to Nordstrom and they did not care and just said to return it to get my refund. So, I submit a return and then notice there's a return label included in my package. So I went ahead and used that one. I called to make sure it was fine to use that one instead of the one provided online and she said that was fine. I then asked if it would slow down my refund and she said it would not. Well, my return FINALLY got delivered back to Nordstrom and I reach out asking how long it would be for me to get my refund now that is delivered back. They said that there is no activity showing on the return label upon tracking it. I explained I used the one provided and was told this was not issue. However, apparently it does slow down the refund timing because they have no way to track my return now. I am being told to wait 14 days! Seriously?! I receive a damaged order and have to wait this long...so it's going to be over three weeks before I even see my money back for a damaged order! I also tried submitting a review about my experience with my order on Nordstrom and they kept rejecting my review. Apparently honest feedback is not allowed. I also have been live chatting with an Elicia and she was zero help and I explained my frustration and her response was so sorry for the inconvenience and have a great rest of your day. Customer service is JOKE!

Nordstroms stole a bunch of returns from me and refuses to reimburse me for them! I had fed ex ship my returns with the return labels from Nordstroms and Fed ex even tracked the packages to Nordstroms return center yet Nordstroms is claiming they didn’t get the returns! They stole I’ve $1200 from me and I have gotten no where when I call for help! They keep saying there isn’t anything they can do! I am disgusted with them!

The WORST customer service no matter what the store is. Employees are rude and never help customers. In fact, they always seem annoyed when someone asks for help. What kind of works are we living in? Nordstrom supposed to be a high end store and the service does not reflect that.

I ordered a Skims dress to be picked up at the downtown Seattle store. It took forever to ship, and arrived too late. I was in town visiting and hoped to pick it up before I left. Sadly it arrived three days after my two week visit. Then, as an added disappointment, I got an email saying thank you for picking up your package! When I did not pick it up. I called customer service right away. The man I spoke with contacted the store, who indicated that they made a mistake and they would change the status. Two days later it still shows as picked up. I called customer service again and had to repeat my story a second and third time because the woman I was speaking to had a hard time understanding my story. Then she put me on hold and never came back. I took a screen shot of the phone, ten minutes on hold is an eternity. Can anyone at Nordstrom help me fix this? What do I have to do to not get charged for a dress I didn’t pick up? That someone marked as picked up incorrectly? Is it stolen? I thought one had to provide a QR code, what happened to that? Someone please help a girl out.

I got scammed and bought gift cards (I know now wrong), but I called early enough to have the purchases the scammer bought to stop the delivery, refund was put back on locked refund cards, I was told. I was told not to worry that the money was locked on these cards and after they investigated the scam they'd get back to me. I waited a month and nothing. Now they won't give me the refunded money. What was the purpose of stopping the scammers but to get the money back to the person who was scammed? I guess that's not Nordstrom's purpose - their purpose of stopping the scam was to keep the money. I feel like I've been scammed twice. I would never ever shop at this store because they do not care about the customer or the customer's money. They don't even care about victims of a scam.

Terrible customer service. They don't help at all and I believe they get pleasure out of your misery. I have chatted, emailed and filed a complaint with the BBB because for some reason they keep canceling my orders after they have been placed and paid for. They said it is because my account is flagged as "fraud" and it is a security issue. WHAT?? This has happened to me at least twice in the past year and nobody will help me or tell me why it happens. When I email or chat they just say "sorry" and do absolutely nothing. As if they find it funny. Still have zero response. All I can do is cancel my card and stop spending my money there.

If I could give this a 0 star, I would. I bought this product on boxing day, it was 50% off. I received this product without a price tag. When I asked the chat why this item does not have the uggs tag on it, and if it's a returned product, they said that yes, They do resell products that are returned by other customers as sales items. I did not know Nordstrom, a luxury store, sells return items as sales item. So I received a refurbish product and that was why it was on sale. Isn't this something they should let consumers know about? They offered me a return. I asked them to send me what I ordered, but a new one, one that has the uggs tag attached to it so that I know it's a new product and they said I can reorder it after I return this one, but pay the new regular price (it is no longer 50% off). Nordstrom's customer service is disappointing, they offered no acceptable solution. So Hey! If you purchase a sales item from Nordstrom, just know it can be a product someone else has returned....without a tag. ENJOY your refurbish product!

I bought a pair of Ugg slippers from Nordstroms. They emailed me and asked me to review my purchase. I did a review and they emailed me to thank me for it but said their team decided it could not be posted. Ridiculous to say the least. No bad language. No defamation of any persons. Just bad quality compared to previous purchases of the same item. I guess if you can’t give them a good review they don’t want it so they reserve the right to refuse it?? Will buy elsewhere next time.

I returned Jeffrey Campbell shoes and reordered a different size, (women’s shoe department Fashion Valley store #360) on 12/27/2022. On 12/29/2022, I realized that I had tucked Christmas money gifts in 3 envelopes on the inside of the shoebox of the returned shoes. I called Nordstrom the morning of the 29th and spoke to a sales associate in the women’s shoe department, who checked for the shoes in the stockroom. He stated he saw the shoes, but nothing was in the box. Shortly thereafter I called Nordstrom’s lost and found department and spoke to a woman, (I won’t disclose her name). I explained what happened and she informed me that she would have to pass this on to the manager of the women’s shoe department. She took my number and asked for the Reg# 4353 and Tran# 4467. Sometime later that morning, I received a call back from the women’s shoe department manager, ( I won’t disclose her name). She readily stated, “yes I remember the shoes because I put new tissue paper in the box when they were put back in the stockroom,” “there was nothing in the box.” Yes, I realize other sales associates could have handled the returned shoes by this time. However, I found it odd that the manager did not ask me who did the initial return, that she so remembered. I volunteered the name of the sales associate who did the initial return and asked her to check with him. She said she would and rushed me off the phone with these words “good luck.” Although I know someone within the women’s shoe department claimed my Christmas money gifts in the returned shoe box, I will not get my money gift back. I take responsibility for the error of not checking the shoe box before returning the shoes. Honestly, I had forgotten that I stuck the envelopes on the side of the box. Just thought I would check, realizing some people are honest and some are not. Perhaps they needed my money gifts more than me!!!…anyway whoever found my Christmas money, enjoy!!!

The company uses a call center in Cent. Amer. with the rudest and most arrogant men reps. They actually laugh out loud if you are upset about an unresolved issue. No thank you to ordering from a company that puts social issues ahead of their customers!

Similar to other complaints, I ordered shoes for a xmas gift 3 wks ago and I keep tracking them and they never leave the post office 50 miles away. I call customer svc & they tell me they were rtnd. I am like I did not get them & then she says they were rtnd by the post office. I said they never even went to my post office. She says the store will ship them out today. Never got them after another 7 days. I ckd online & it says they were rtnd & I rcvd a refund, I did not. I called again & she insists they were rtnd again and refunded to me but she will put in another ticket to ask about the refund & sd I can't call back for 7 more days. If I still don't have a refund in 7 days, I can ask to talk to a mgr. This is ridiculous! In the meantime they are holding the shoes & the $120, like give me one or the other.

I would put zero stars if I could - for the service received with regards to an Olukai Nolu (grey) sandal purchased from Nordstrom.com. My item has not shipped (1 week plus later). There is a delay on my order (as described in my order updates) and it has not even left the facility. Because of this fact, I requested a simple size adjustment... to do this, my request needed to be escalated FOUR TIMES before getting a phone call... from a Customer Service rep to an Operations Manager. After several hours spent, they have come to NO resolution. "Wait to receive it, return it to us, then order again in the correct size... was their best advice. Once upon a time they would roll out the red carpet for their customers... knowing their customer retention showed a MUCH bigger ROI than one item purchase. A simple size swap was not an option, even when it hasn't yet left the facility, and even when escalated four times to someone you would believe has that authority. Customer Service at Nordstrom is just so simply not the same as it once was. I encourage you to purchase directly from the vendor. Save yourself the headache!!!

I ordered an expensive pair of sneakers for my niece. I was out of town for Thanksgiving and they show snip a picture of it being delivered. However, two days later I get home with no package. Contacted Nordstrom and they will not issue a refund. I have the person on my ring camera that it was taken. This is totally out of control with them. I will never shop or order anything from them again. They have the worst policy and procedures for handling lost items. I did not have it shipped to a store because I am disabled.

Was the victim of identity theft for thousands of dollars of Nordstrom gift cards. I contacted a number of people at Nordstrom customer care and gift card departments and got the run around. I learned that the cards were used in multiple states, and that the Nordstrom fraud department declined all of the transactions from the fraudsters. The cards are locked, but Nordstrom will not refund me for the charges resulting from the identity theft. Nordstrom kept the thousands of dollars resulting from the fraud and are useless in helping to rectify this issue. Nordstrom's secret is that they benefit from gift card fraud. I'll never shop here again, and neither should you. Customers have choices to do business with ethical companies. Nordstrom is not one of them.

Dear Kate Detoye, I truly hope that you can take actions that will resolve this issue for both of us. Nordstrom Rack was recommended to me by my pastor. I had received many good remarks about the cost and quality of your service and merchandise for years. I had good expectations and hopes about my initial experience with Nordstrom Stores. The verbal and psychological abuse that was inflicted on me by your two cashiers (Daijon A. and Jessica L.) at the Novi, MI location was extremely traumatic to me. I am an elderly American with disabilities that include major depression. The incident triggered an episode of depression which cause me to withdraw from normal activities, isolate myself from friends and family, and it increased my anxiety and fear. My psychiatrist increased the doses of my antidepressants. Psychological Elder Abuse takes place when an older person suffers harm through verbal assaults, threats, intimidation, humiliation, insults, yelling, verbal harassment, or treating an older person like a baby. It is also referred to as elder emotional abuse. Psychological abuse is the second most common form of elder abuse after neglect. It often consists of purposeful verbal or nonverbal infliction of emotional or mental anguish. Elder Abuse must not be tolerated by any person or department store. Especially where new customers expect to be treated with dignity and respect. We expect Nordstrom Rack to maintain an environment free of discrimination or harassment. In Michigan, there are state laws that make “vulnerable adult abuse” a crime, and someone can go to jail if they commit it. Studies indicate approximately 73,000 elder Michiganders are victims of abuse or neglect each year, according to the Michigan Attorney General's Office. Elder abuse is a real problem in the state of Michigan, according to Attorney General Dana Nessel. She and a coalition of more than 30 organizations announced the formation of a robust task force to crack down on the abuse, which can be physical, emotional, or financial. MICHIGAN ELDER ABUSE TASK FORCE Officials say this task force will focus on protecting Vulnerable Adults from undo caregiver influence. But will also increase maximum penalties for abuses. And develop Elder Abuse community investigation teams. Michigan AG Nessel stated that "We hear so often about the problems, but so infrequently do we actually, do anything to solve those problems." Kate, what your cashier associates did to me, your customer, was intolerable. Do take such measures that will prevent them from repeating this offense in the future. Please contact me for more information and questions. I would like to be informed of the outcome of this matter. Sincerely, R.B.

I ordered Ralph Lauren bedding….never arrived..I just got a run around…I had to place several calls to customer service… escalated the calls to a supervisor… never received the items… they told me that they would credit my account within TWO BILLING CYCLES… I had a zero balance on the Nordstrom card… so they expect me to pay interest on items that I never received..HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! DONT ORDER ANYTHING ONLINE FROM NORDSTROM! Unbelievable…..Nordstrom has fallen like just about every other retailer in the USA. Stay away from NORDSTROM.

This time I mean it when I say I won’t shop at Nordstrom.com again. This time they REFUSED TO POST MY REVIEW OF A PAIR OF EARRINGS the size of which is not given on-line, but which appear generously sized on-line. After I received them I was shocked and disappointed to see that they are extremely small. In the review I asked why Nordstrom, a seasoned upscale retailer, doesn’t know yet that customers deserve to know the size of earrings before they buy them. I then added: DUH. I immediately got an e-mail from Nordstrom.com saying my review had been MODERATED. Oh my, poor little Nordstrom, I hurt their feelings. The e-mail suggested I re-write my review. So now not only was I having to spend time orchestrating a return, but I was also expected to re-write my review. And what would I have in return – nothing! Last time I returned shoes using the pre-paid label Nordstrom.com provided. I did not hear anything so I contacted them. They said they never got them. Then I got a long letter telling me they received the shoes but were returning them to me because they did not come from Nordstrom.com. Doesn’t this kind of customer service remind you of something you might see on Saturday Night Live?
