First time, okay
November 30, 2016

It was my first time purchasing from Nordstrom online, and while the website is great and beautiful, the operations seemed a mess! It took too long to receive my sweater, and was told that there were delays on the "courier end" as opposed to their own. Of course, not their fault, but perhaps they could've updated me more! Maybe in-store purchases will be different.

I always think Nordstrom is the best. I love their return policies and free alterations.

Granted, they will never be as good as custom clothes. But, the price certainly gives a lot of "bang for your buck".

Order clothes and shoes online. Never received the order but our card was promptly charged. In the beginning they said let's look into it. Repeated the same excuse for a while so I waited. Life got busy and I called again after few weeks and they said, oops it's over 30 days now so no refund. It's not the old Nordstrom any more. Be careful ordering from them!

I brought my 94 year old Mother to buy comfortable shoes. Our sales man would have rather shot himself than help us. He kept looking away from us and then when he did look at us, he seemed so annoyed.She ended up buying 2 different kinds of shoes, quite expensive.This was not the result of his sales techniques. He was arrogant, sloppy and very unprofessional.

I usually don't shop for clothes online. The clothes might seem beautiful online, but ugly in reality. Or sometimes they do not fit right.

However, I trust shop.nordstrom.com. Their clothes have good quality. I also love that they are trendy without trying too hard. (style should seem effortless)

The best part about shop.nordstrom.com is that you can return items at any local Nordstrom store.

I've unfortunately had to call their customer service line 4-5 times in the last month and every time is worse. Unclear, no English, rude, and generally unhelpful people leave me with no idea what they're talking about and whether or not they can help me. I can't wait till my local opens up again so I never have to call them again and can at least interact face to face.

I have been shopping at Nordstrom on and off for decades. Even though I find their customer service unparalleled, I usually find better prices elsewhere. This is why I tend to shop there less and less. They price match, but the number of such stores excludes many famous retailers like Lord and Taylor or Saks Off 5th Avenue. The best prices are during their anniversary sales.

Seasonal job
December 3, 2022

I got hired as a seasonal worker and management treats you terribly. I've been verbally and mentally abused since starting by my superior and their superior has decided that I'm the one to blame because I'm "not helping the customers out properly" (despite making lots of sales). No consequences for my superior's actions. Nordstrom claims it is an ethical and customer forward company, but that is not the case (both from the perspective of an employee and customer). Very disappointed in Nordstrom and I hope to not work at this company in the future.

Nordstrom policies
June 2, 2022

My wife and I ware visiting Nordstrom for some shopping and noticed some very strange thing. While the whole world and especially our Country is dropping all the restrictions, Nordstrom went back to this totally ridiculous thing as wearing masks to all their employees. This is complete nonsense and total disrespect towards the customers. We have no pleasure at all to see faceless employees. I'm not going back to Nordstrom on till all these nonsense will end, these policies going against all local and even federal laws and regulations. All of us going everywhere without masks, traveling, going to concerts, churches etc. this against any common sense.
Over all Nordstrom is loosing the quality of the customer service focusing and following political winds. Vary sad, such a great company loosing it's grip over things don't matter.
Thank you.

Andrew Michaels.

I had several questions, one of which was date sensitive (learned that a note expires today and was unable to use it on the website to pay for items). At the beginning of the call, the recorded message said the wait time was 60 minutes; there was not opportunity for ask for a call-back. The entire time on hold, there were messages about every 30 sec saying to continue holding and someone would be with me "shortly." The call was answered after 1 hour 59 minutes. Once answered, the issue was dealt with easily (13 minutes).

While I realize Nordstrom has been busy, why not utilize employees that cannot work in stores in the call center. This is by far the worst experience I have had - even Amazon responds in less than 20 minutes. I won't order online again unless stores are open.

I will not order from Nordstrom again while stores are closed. While I realize they have been busy, why not utilize employees that were working in the store in their call center.

Good recovery
January 23, 2024

At 1st I had some issues receiving a cologne purchased from Nordstrom.com which was intended as a birthday gift for my friend, and I was unsuccessful in getting the situation resolved using the normal route of emailing Nordstrom's customer service. Once the right contact noticed my situation and got in touch with me from Nordstrom corporate, Nordstrom worked with me very well to resolve my issue fully. I am grateful for their kindness and the length they went to help me-- they really went above and beyond in the end!

Nordstrom dropped the ball with my recent order. Despite promises of fast delivery, my package took weeks to arrive, and when it did, the contents were damaged beyond repair. Customer service was unresponsive and unapologetic, leaving me feeling frustrated and ignored. Nordstrom needs to step up its delivery game if it wants to retain loyal customers.

Inconsistant website
November 27, 2023

This is not the first time I have been notified that an item I ordered is not available. Whoever is in charge of this is not doing their job. The products are nice - when they have them but the overall experience of working with this company is not worth the aggravation. The same things can be found elsewhere along with the customer service you deserve with these prices. It seems they have not been able to bounce back since the shutdown. Sad

Customer Feedback

Miss Dione C. At store #751, was very professional. She was quite patient and worked with me to find the perfect fragrance for me. She was also pleasant with my nieces who accompanied me to the store.

Was a little skeptical reading the reviews online, but ordered anyway! I bought a pair of Nike Air Force 1 shadows and they came in right on time & I LOVE them! Even during the virus and everything that's going on they delivered! 11/10, online tracking for the shipping was perfect as well!

As I live in a small town with very few good stores, Nordstrom is one of my favorite sites for many dresses. I've bought 3 dresses there so far. A little bit expensive sometimes but nice selection and good customer service.

Whoa!
October 17, 2015

They're well known for their customer service--and for good reason. Though they generally tend to be a bit pricier, they also often have phenomenal sales on items, slashing prices with deep discounts. It's worth looking into.

I bought my granddaughter a pair of UGG boots. Fast arrival. Exactly as pictured. User friendly website. Lower price than I had found elsewhere. Will definitely shop there again and would recommend them to family and friends.

You can find great deals under "sale"! Free and fast shipping and free returns with quick refunds if items don't fit. It doesn't get any better than this! Items are always great quality and true to the description. I've only ever returned 1 piece and the customer service representative was terrific. Nordstrom.com is really my favorite online store for clothing!

Only love for Nordy
June 22, 2019

I have been helping this store survive for 2 decades or more and find some of these reviews ridiculous. I have absolutely loved them forever because of their top-notch customer service, selection, quality items, free delivery and hassle free return policy... until lately. They are now using Lasership, which is- in my opinion, the worst shipper ever! Unfortunately the closest Nordstrom location is 1.15 hrs away. I will travel, but there is no guarantee that I will find what I want in my size and color preference, so I order 80% online. Needless to say, I will be purchasing less if they continue to send Lasership to my home.
