I placed an order for pickup at a local Nordstrom Rack, I did not receive a confirmation email regarding the order so I assumed it didnt go through. I called immediately when I realized I had a pending charge. **************** could not locate an order with any information provided, and said because the charge was still pending and not posted they could not locate with my card number. I was told the charge would refund if indeed it was sent to a store and not picked up within 7 days. I waited, the charge posted, and still no item was sent to the store for pickup. I provided my CC info and was told I would be refunded and I was not. I continued to email customer service and was assured it would take 3-5 business days, eventually they just stopped responding to me. I have all emails and chats to prove they could never locate an order attached to my personal information yet somehow was able to charge my card.Business Response

We're sorry to hear of this experience and appreciate the opportunity to look into this further. During our review, we were able to locate the order in question and can see that there was a spelling error in the email address where it ended in ".con" instead of .com. The item Tumi Delta Global ID Lock Shielded Removable Passcase ID Wallet was returned in our system on 8/2 and a full refund of $162.90 was issued back onto the **** ending in 7592.
We're glad to see that a refund has been issued but are disappointed to see how we failed to follow-up with you. These interactions will be looked into so that we can ensure this doesn't happen again.

Im uploading this documentation which I believe is critical to this case. I do not own the items I purchased now, because they have all been returned to the merchant already. I recorded the whole packaging process, including each item, the tags, the price to the end it was sealed with the only return label issued. Then, it was picked up directly from **** and delivered to the merchant in this condition. On 6/30, the day after the package was delivered. I was informed by the merchant that the package would be processed within 72 hours of arrival due to a long wait time. Thus, I received my first processed return item. However, it was missing the rest of the 4 items I sent back. I contacted the merchant immediately, and they said sometimes the items are processed at different times, I would have to wait until the time frame of their return policy passed in order to contact them again. On 7/11, the original date I was informed to contact back if the refund hasnt been processed by then I emailed them back. This time the date was pushed back even further to 7/19 and I YET TO RECEIVE MY REFUND. Thus, I waited another week to 7/19, and they told me they couldnt process the return because they lost my items in the package. Ive been contacting them since, and they denied everything and refused to refund me despite I sent all the items back. I contacted the merchant again, and the agent verified that the package was returned, and I should not have paid for the order I no longer have. The following is the packaging process of all the return items in the package and the remaining refund I havent received of $1547.60. In this matter, I would like the BBB team to review the case again. I dont possess any of the above mentioned items and yet I still have to pay for them, which I feel very unfair and hard to believe. Please kindly assist and Thank you in advance.Business Response

On 8/16 I made an order of 6 items at Nordstrom.com. 5 hats and a bathrobe.I then received my order in several different boxes on different dates. Some of the boxes were bent and hats were misshapen. When I received my bathrobe it was not the correct style I had ordered.I promptly contacted Nordstrom to submit a request for a return label. Returns are free so they sent me a label. I packaged the hats and robe and returned the items that were not in good condition due to the way they shipped them.I sent out my return 8/22 and received confirmation via tracking that the items had been delivered and returned on 9/9. But I was only issued a refund for 4 items!I am filing this complaint because I need to be refunded for all the items. They were all shipped in boxes without any packing bubbles or stuffing. The hats were just sent in plastic bags and did not keep their form well.This company has been extremely negligent in how they delivered their products to me and now that I have submitted my return with the defective items I will not accept, they refuse to refund me.All I would like to resolve this issue is to be refunded for my order which I returned and was confirmed to be returned via the tracking I saved.Business Response

Because nordstrom has a discount, so I placed two orders of Lancome skincare set, the result has not been delivered, during the contact customer service, customer service has been waiting for processing, finally contacted ****** found that the goods were recovered by the sender, so I contacted nordstrom customer service again, want to know what is going on, request help, customer service is very cold said a "Wait for the goods to return to us, we will give you a refund", I bought the goods because I needed them, the goods activity is over and the goods are out of stock, I can not re-purchase, for this irresponsible attitude is really unacceptable!Business Response

I placed this Order #********* on 6/18/2022 at Nordstrom.com and returned it a few weeks later using the Nordstrom prepaid label but it never reached the warehouse. I called **** and they told me there is a third party involved ***************** who already picked up the package from them and deliver it to them. I called Nordstrom so they can get in touch with the third party and find out what happened to the package because it's been almost 2 months. To follow up I called Nordstrom again to if they contacted the third party and they answered that ***************** didn't give them any information so there was nothing they can do and can't refund the money. It has happened to me in the past but I always keep my receipts and tracking information just in case but Nordstrom isn't giving my money back even though I have all the tracking details. Once I ship out the item I have no longer control over it. There is serious negligence going on at PITNEY ***** AND NORDSTROM. How am I responsible for something that I already shipped out using the label they provided? I'm going to attach the label that has the tracking information and the item in the package. I would really appreciate it if you can help me get my money backBusiness Response

It feels like Nordstrom committed intentional fraud/theft - they charged my credit card $794.52 for an order that NEVER SHIPPED (*********). This is NOT a lost package, which they keep trying to treat as such. I was never emailed a shipping notice or tracking number. After I placed the order, I received two separate emails in the following weeks saying there'd be a delay in fulfilling my order due to store closures/increased online orders and thank you for my patience and understanding. So I waited. And waited and waited. Over a month later I still hadn't heard anything and decided to call them. Their response was that they had updated their system and my order information was no longer in the new system. I was told to file a claim with my credit card company - which I did - and then waited and waited to hear back from them. Eventually I was informed that my claim was denied because it had been over 30 days since the purchase. Of course.So I called Nordstrom again and told them it'd been denied. They asked me to email them documents (proof the charge had actually posted etc/).... and then it was another thing, and another thing. Basically they've been giving me the runaround for over a year, which I can see now was on purpose, so that by the time they gave me their final answer, that NO, they aren't going to refund me, their excuse is that the order was placed too long ago to be able to do an investigation into the matter (!!!!!). They are the ones who dragged this out, not me. They should have just shipped my order in the first place, or refunded me immediately.I want to be reinstated the $794.52 they stole. If not, I'm going to the authorities. All of my email activity and credit card activity confirm everything I've said. This is not the way to treat a customer who has spend thousands and thousands of dollars with you in the past few years. This is not the way to treat any customer. This is just plain **************Business Response

I made a purchase online with Nordstrom Rack order ********* .for $196.07. The only option for shipping was to my address (not store). I received confirmation of shipping with Ontrac after 24 hours. This included a tracking number. At this time the pending charge became full charge on my cc. With this notification, there are instructions including the statement that updated tracking information will become available within ***** (2-3 days). Ontrac, the carrier, does not yet have any product to ship.It is now five days since my card was fully charged, the carrier is still waiting for product. After almost an hour on chat, Nordstrom continues to provide erroneous statements that product is with carrier and I need to wait.Nordstrom Rack has deceiving and inaccurate information they provide to customers in order to influence their purchasing decision. Their customer service has already knowledge of these practices and continues to provide lies to customers and no information.After one week, I have a charge on may credit card, a tracking number, and no product to trac, as well as no accurate information as to the next steps to get in the possession or cancel product.I want to cancel my purchase and ask the business to be accurate in informing customers of their shipping practice.Business Response

I bought a pair of ******************************* sandals (FALABELLA CHAIN FLAT SANDAL) from Nordstrom Rack ************ Store on 02/17/2022 and paid $200 (the receipt is attached). As these are summer shoes I haven't worn them until summer. During summer I only wore them twice and the second time I wore them the chain on one shoe came off as you can see in the attached pictures. In the pictures, you can also see they were delicately worn and they look like new. I took these shoes to the ************ store on 09/09/2022 to ask for a return and they just refused me without checking the shoes, because it passed 45 days. I bought these summer shoes in February and didn't touch them all winter. I didn't want to return these shoes because I changed my mind. I loved them and I wish I could wear them more. These are very expensive (supposed to be high quality) shoes and just after the second use, their chain broke off. Looking forward to hearing from you.Thank you,***************** CoskunBusiness Response
