What is Nordstrom Rack?
Nordstrom Rack is part of Nordstrom, Inc., and we've been serving up sweet deals to customers since 1973. We’re your destination for brands you love up to 70% off. It's easy to shop your way: in store, online and through the Nordstrom Rack app. There's always something new to discover, so check back often!

Is the merchandise at nordstromrack.com the same as in Nordstrom Rack stores?
While the brands and styles offered online are similar to the items found in Nordstrom Rack stores, inventory moves fast and may not mirror exactly what you find in store. Whether shopping online or in store, you’ll always find something new.

What does Comparable Value mean?
This Comparable Value and corresponding percentage are based on what the item, or a similar item, was originally offered for at department stores and boutiques, which may have been reported to us by the manufacturer. Prices vary, but we think you’ll love ours.

What are Flash Events?
Our Flash Events are unique curated collections of items, which may be limited in quantities. When the event is over the items may no longer be available or, if available, may be returned to our regular locations on our site at the same low price.

Does Nordstrom Rack offer alterations and tailoring services?
Select Nordstrom Rack stores offer alterations and tailoring services for both in-store and online purchases. Simply bring your item(s) and receipt or packing slip to a select store, and we'll gladly help you get the right fit. For pricing information, please contact your local Nordstrom Rack store.

Where can I learn about product recalls?
Nordstrom maintains a list of products sold at Nordstrom or affiliated entities that have been recently recalled. To see the list, please click here.

Do you offer price matching or adjustments?
At Nordstrom Rack stores and nordstromrack.com, we work hard to offer competitive prices on everything we sell. With this effort in mind, we do not price match or make adjustments, as our prices change often to ensure the best possible value, every day.

How do you address pricing errors?
We work hard to ensure the accuracy of pricing. Despite our efforts, pricing errors may still occur. If an item's price is higher than the price displayed, we will cancel your order of that item and notify you of the cancellation.

Where can I find a Nordstrom Rack store near me?
Simply use our Store Locator to find locations near you. If you have any questions regarding an in-store purchase, please contact that store directly.

Can nordstromrack.com search Nordstrom Rack store inventory?
No. At this time nordstromrack.com is unable to search in-store inventory.

How do I find a specific product in a Nordstrom Rack store near me?
Call the store directly to help you find what you’re searching for. You can use the Store Locator to find the direct number. Please note that inventory varies online and in store, and from location to location.

What happens if I only have a Nordstrom Rack account?
If you only have an account on either nordstromrack.com or nordstrom.com, you will now be able to sign in to the other site using your existing credentials. Changes made to your account will apply to both sites, making it easier to manage your shopping experience.

What happens if I have an account on Nordstrom Rack and Nordstrom and I use the same email address on both?
If you have accounts on both nordstromrack.com and nordstrom.com using the same email address to sign in, the account you use less often will be merged with your other account, and the remaining account will be ready to use across both sites. You should receive an email from us informing you of the sign-in you'll be using. You can use your account on both sites, making it easier than ever to manage your shopping experience. Plus, if you're a member of The Nordy Club, your in-store and online purchase information will show up under your purchase history.

What is a Credit Card Authorization?
Once your order is placed, a pre-authorization (pending charge/hold) for the full amount will be applied to your credit card. Depending on your financial institution, this pre-authorization is usually removed automatically within 7 days.

When will my credit card be charged?
Your credit card will be charged for the cost of each item as it ships. You may see multiple credit card charges if you have an order that contains multiple items that are shipped at different times.

How and when will I receive my refund?
All refunds will be credited to your original form of payment or a Nordstrom Gift Card (gift cards cannot be redeemed for cash unless required by law).

If you return an item to a Nordstrom Rack or Nordstrom store, the refunded amount will be applied to your credit card. Depending on your financial institution, you may see that refund within 5–7 business days.

If you return an item to us by U.S. mail, we usually receive it within 10–14 business days. Once the item is received, we will process your refund. Depending on your financial institution, you may see that refund on your credit card within 5–7 business days.

You should receive the eGift Card within 48 hours of the completion of your cancellation. Gift Cards cannot be redeemed for cash unless required by law.

• If you return an item to a Nordstrom Rack or Nordstrom store that results in a Nordstrom Gift Card being issued as your refund, you will be issued a Gift Card at the store immediately.
• If the full amount of your purchase was made with PayPal, your refund will be credited to the same PayPal account.
