Sure, they have a nice selection but horrible customer service. The people are nice but there are about 2 of them. I am now 78 in line for an online chat to resolve my issue. It took almost 2 weeks to receive my items; I returned several on October 13 (have receipt) and still, November 1, no refund. In the days of Amazon prime and Zappos and more... why is this the case? I will not shop here again. I have other choices.

I ordered some boots that had a cognac shade on the website and it took 10 days to get to me. Although the description said "taupe" I wasn't expecting a light grayish brown boot. The boot in the picture looked much more expensive in the way the stitching was but the boots I received looked cheaper. I still liked them despite the color so I am keeping.

Inefficent Service
October 30, 2016

Like many of the other reviewers I experienced the same issues with customer service and shipping. However, I didn't even receive any emails informing me my order was going to be delayed and when I called costumer service they said sorry and that it was their computers that may the fault. They also kept on saying that "The great news is that the items are with the carrier and on their way to you now!". Apparently it was a systems upgrade that effected "thousands" of orders, if that is true they should have updated their website to extended the shipping expectation dates, instead of let thousands of customers learn about it after they placed their orders.

I placed an order online on Oct. 13, I received the normal email saying I would get the merchandise in 2-4 days. Fine. Then I received an email every few days after that saying there was a "delay." I called customer service on 2 different occasions. 15 days later... No, they can't help. No, they can't guarantee they can change the shipping address. No, they can't figure out what's going on. No, there is nothing they can do for me. The company that made it's reputation with YES has turned into a NO company. Going back to Neiman Marcus.

Worst Customer Service
October 28, 2016

Placed online order 10 days ago. Confirmation said shipment would occur in 2-4 days. On the 4th day I received an email that there were 'problems' with shipping, no new date was offered, I could cancel if I like, and after 30 days I would receive a refund. I contacted on the 7th day via online chat, 3 agents, no satisfaction. Asked to cancel my order was told they would look into it as my order is in the pipeline but I could expect to receive an email. On the 9th day, I called. Nothing in file indicated that the previous request had occurred. Was told a request to cancel would be submitted and that a supervisor would contact me via phone. Nothing. On the 10th day, I called. I was told that the cancellation request was submitted on the 7th day and that it could take another 24 to 48 hours to complete. It was suggested that I call back Monday to find the status. I'll be calling back tomorrow and every single day until I receive my money. I will NEVER shop here again. If you chose to purchase, you do so at your peril.

SLOW Shipping
October 27, 2016

Ordered a couple of items nore than ten days ago and just received a shipping confirmation today. Unfortunately the tracking number says the package was delivered to California on August 9th but today is October 27th and I live in Michigan. This is the second issue I've had with them within the past few weeks. Previously they claimed that a 500.00 handbag had been shipped to me but they didn't have a tracking number. Something is definitely going on with Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack.

This company must be getting greedy; They have cut down on staff due to flag ship Nordstrom's store being dead. Orders used to come in less than 10 days; now you don't even get a tracking and I have been waiting for items that stated they would be shipped in 7-10 days. That was 3.5 weeks ago. Nice way to lower your customer base. T. J Maxx much better- they know how to treat their customers. I get items there in 5 days from date of order.

Awful
October 26, 2016

I ordered 5 shirts online. Two weeks later my order still wasn't at my house. Wasn't allowing my order to be tracked. I got an email finally saying my shipment wasn't sent out and they aren't sure when it will be getting shipped. I called the 1-800 number. I waited 48 min. Finally hung up. Called back some time later waited another 27min finally got a person! She told me my order was not shipped out and she wasn't sure when it will be getting shipped. She offered me free shipping which she then noticed I already received. She then offered me free shipping off my next order well who needs free shipping off your next order when it only takes $50 to receive free shipping? So I said that is crazy I would like 25-30% off this order she said we do not offer any % off. I have never been more dissatisfied in a company ever. Nemius marcus has the BEST customer service ever. As does lord and Taylor. This would never have been an issue there. I truly will never ever shop with Nordstrom or Nordstrom rack ever again. I am a shopaholic I spend an excessive amount of money on clothing and they just lost my business and my family's.

LOSING CUSTOMERS
October 25, 2016

Let me preface this by saying I have made many, many orders on NordstromRack, ALL of which are over $100 so that I qualify for free shipping. I have had all positive experiences until NOW. I am so dissatisfied. I've made three orders in the past 1.5 months. The first one shipped in a timely manner, but said "delivered", and never came to my door. I opened an investigation after three business days (which was the period they advised me to wait). The package showed up the next day, mysteriously. I was only moderately annoyed at that point. However, I made two orders about two weeks ago that have YET to ship! Not to mention they are going to take another week to receive. All customer service representatives can tell me is that it "should" ship out by early next week. That will be almost three weeks before shipping. It's my understanding that they had a delay in trying to streamline the shipping process for the holidays. Instead, they are losing valuable customers! I am grossly disappointed. Until they get this fixed, I would NOT PLACE ANY ORDERS WITH THEM! You would think they would come out of pocket to expedite the shipping process for customers who have been waiting.

Placed an order 11 days ago because it said all items would ship within 4 days, giving me plenty of time to receive them by my special event this weekend. However, I've yet to receive a shipping confirmation, & my multiple calls with customer service have been unable to give me an estimated shipping date. I have no idea when my order will arrive & no way of narrowing down a time frame. Ridiculous.

Items showed in stock and ready to ship within 2-4 days. After 14 days and several online chats, and phone calls the items has still not shipped. They can give me no idea when the items will ship all they say is there is a backlog. And they do not offer expedited shipping to help me get the items.

I WOULD TELL EVERYONE TO AVOID BUYING FROM THE COMPANY!

Shipping problems
October 25, 2016

I have ordered from Nordstrom Rack online store many times in the past with excellent results. Speedy shipping, returns and credit. Now I have an order placed on Oct. 15,2016 that says it is ready to ship. I have already been charged for the merchandise that has not shipped. I spoke to my credit card company and they will allow me to dispute it on the next billing cycle. I would really like to have this merchandise. What is going on here? Will I have the same problem if I need to return an item? I think returns to a store are in order even though is is 75+ miles away.

Still waiting to hear if a pair of jeans I bought over a week ago have been shipped. In the meantime I ordered a few things from Nordstroms on line and I was sent an email saying order was shipped and an expected date the next day. The service should be the same for both the main store and the rack. Won't be ordering on line from the rack again.

I ordered 2 watches and the package was delivered to my house without the watches inside. I made so many calls, live chat with their customer service but until now, 3 months after the missing of order, I still don't have my order or my money back either.
They kept saying that it in an investigation then their system confirm that my order shipped out with those watches.

I am so frustrated with those things.

If I could give a negative 5 stars I would. I placed an order on Oct 10, expecting shipment 2-4 days (per website.) Today is Oct 22 and there is still no shipment expectation date. They are sacrificing current customers for expected shoppers for Black Friday. Not very smart! If I

I placed an order 10 days ago. All items were ready to ship, but it said they'd ship in 2-4 days. It's been 10 days and my order still hasn't shipped. I need my items for an event. Customer service will not let me cancel the order.

I'm a longtime Nordstrom Rack customer and have not had any issues in the past, but this is ridiculous. And because other customers who are having similar issues, Nordstrom better figure out a solution fast and do something to make this up to their customers if they want to keep us coming back.

Terrible Customer Care and shipping. Still waiting on them to ship items from Oct 10. On line chat is clueless and can't answer questions other than it is in Fullfillment. Isn't this one company and the digital age. The answer should be readily available!

11/10/2016 UPDATE (30 days since my order) - I called customer care today trying to get yet another update the remaining items I ordered. This time I got a wonderful rep who of course couldn't help me figure out why my order hasn't shipped yet (no shock) but said will check and call me back in a couple of days. I told her I think the company is going out of business, may file for bankruptcy or something serious is going on and she AGREED WITH ME AND SAID SHE WAS WORRIED TOO! SO I REITERATE DO NOT ORDER ONLINE - GO IN THE STORE IF YOU WANT TO SHOP THERE

11/01/2016 UPDATE: AFTER YEARS OF BEING A CUSTOMER I'M DONE ORDERING ONLINE! I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED ALL OF MY ITEMS FROM MY 10/13 ORDER. HOW IN THE WORLD DO THEY THINK THEY CAN HANDLE THE UPCOMING HOLIDAY SEASON WHEN THEY HAVEN'T SHIPPED PREVIOUS ORDERS! I WONDER IF THEY ARE GOING OUT OF BUSINESS BUT THEY HAVEN'T ANNOUNCED IT. I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE FROM ANY COMPANY I ORDER ONLINE.

I ordered items from NR every few months and have never had any shipping issues until a week ago. Same issue everyone else lists in recent complaints. I got a canned answer that they are upgrading their shipping warehouse to improve the customer experience but then I demanded they tell me what the REAL delay is. They said three days ago the delay would be an extra 1-2 days. Still no update. I ordered on 10/13 but still no update. I don't need my items right away so I'm ok right now but I wouldn't advise ordering anything right now if you need it.

As of today, I ordered items TEN days ago and despite my order saying "Ships in 2-4 days" my order still sits and hasn't been shipped yet. I contacted customer service twice, and they said they're having "issues" in their warehouse with no apparent solution. I simply have gotten a "sorry" and they have no idea when the items will be shipped.

I just contacted them to request to cancel my order (since it will no longer be here in time for my event), and they said "their system doesn't allow for that." So, I'll be charged for an order, and then will have to take the time to find a Nordstrom Rack store and return it there to get my money back.

The icing on the cake? I got such terrible customer service from the "Chat Now" experience (that's a lie, it should be "Chat in 30 minutes"), that I decided to email their customer service email they have advertised on their website. THAT email actually doesn't work, and anytime you try to send emails to that, you get an "undeliverable" notice.

Whoever is in charge of their customer service needs some serious guidance. No idea when whatever they are "working through" will end, so it's best to stay away from online ordering.
