They delivered to my old address at ****************** inspite of correcting the delivery address prior to ordering the merchandise.When I saw that the items are not delivered to my present house.

****** ******* ************************************************** June 7, 2025 To Whom It May Concern,Subject: Request for Deletion of Charged-Off Closed Account from ********************** Report I am writing to formally request the removal of a closed account that is currently being reported as a profit and loss (charged-off) entry on my credit report. The account in question was previously disputed and subsequently closed, yet it continues to reflect a negative status that is adversely affecting my credit profile.This continued reporting of the account as a loss is not only misleading, but it also misrepresents the status of the account following the dispute resolution. I understand that creditors and data furnishers are required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) to report accurate and complete information. Since the account is closed and the debt is no longer being pursued or validated, I am respectfully requesting that this account be removed in full from all three of my credit bureau profilesExperian, Equifax, and TransUnion.This removal will ensure the reporting reflects a fair and accurate representation of my credit history. I am committed to maintaining responsible financial habits and request that this matter be reviewed in the interest of fairness and data integrity.Please confirm in writing once the account has been removed or updated appropriately.Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.****** ******* SSN-8608 ************ *******************

On April 8, 2025, I have purchased a ring in the amount of $124.92. When I tried it on, it was too small. Therefore, using the ***** label, I have sent it back. I have received an email from Nordstrom that my package is on the way back to them. After some time, I have noticed that I did not get a refund for this item. I have called their customer service numerous times and was told to wait, that the refund will come soon and that their system shows that the item was received on April 25, 2025. Upon waiting all this time, I have called again and was told that they did receive the package but they cant find the item that was sent to them and implied that I sent them an empty package (I have previously experienced the same thing a couple of years ago where I wasnt refunded around $100). I spoke to the employee named ***** from fulfillment center. I kept telling her that just because they cant find it, doesnt mean I didnt send it but she just keeps telling me that I sent an empty box. I think that since its a small ring, it was either lost or stolen at the center. Upon reading a lot of reviews, I have noticed that many people have similar issues with nordstroms return department. Please help me to get my refund.

I purchased a pair of Jordans from Nordstrom recently and did not receive my order. Today, I spoke to several people at Nordstrom, all of whom assured me that I would get a refund. Someone from their delivery research team sent me an email refusing to refund me. I did not get my package and I am demanding a full refund. The shoes cost me $180. I am uploading proof from the business that they assured me that I would get a refund.

I ordered a **** ****** handbag to be delivered to my home. I had no issues getting packages at my doorsteps except for this time with Nordstrom. The mail delivery man never knocked or rang my doorbell and I was at home the whole time, waiting for the package to arrive. I was surprised to see it arrive with no notice and the box was open and completely empty. Not even receipt and packaging tissues were there. The box doesnt have tape but only three strips of glue on two inner flap sides. The glue barely held on the flaps as you can see in the picture. This is very careless packaging for $400 order and especially no signature required. I expected luxury stores like Nordstrom will automatically require a signature at delivery like common sense. No tapes and no signature are terribly careless for a such luxury business. So I filed a report and called customer service several times. It got me around. Then the investigation refused to refund me and stated its been delivered (maybe based on weight or word of mouth by delivery guy) and told me to make a police report and its on me. I feel like Nordstrom is cutting corners with delivery service to the bare minimum quality of service so the delivery workers took advantage of that. Nordstrom is about 2 hours drive away so I cant pick up at store but for sure next time I will make sure expensive order will be picked up at mail delivery store instead. I tried to do a chargeback with credit company but I got denied because Nordstrom made the decision. I will never shop or order at Nordstrom ever again. Horrible careless packaging and cutting corners and why no signature required and why mailman never knocked or rang my door?

I am rejecting this response because: Its not my responsibility poor packaging occurred so the item fell out or got stolen. A luxury store is supposed to pack their package with care and require signature at delivery. I was not give an option to pick up at *** or ***** store because you used LaserShip. I live 2 hours drive away from nearest store so I cant do store pick up. I called several times on phone and spoke with several live representatives on chat and they all apologized and promised me they would send me a refund or mail me a replacement. Neither happened. I got denial email from your Delivery Research several times and denied for refund process on my order page. I demand a refund.

*********,thank you so much for reaching out to us again and sharing your concerns. We're deeply sorry to hear that your item was missing from your package. After careful review, we unfortunately can't accommodate a refund, as we've confirmed delivery and the weight with the carrier. It appears that a theft may have occurred since you still don't have your item. While we wish we could help further, Nordstrom isn't able to compensate for criminal activity. I understand this isn't the outcome you were hoping for, and I want you to know that this decision was made after much consideration. I'm truly sorry for any disappointment this may cause you.

I am rejecting this response because: Poor packaging without using tape led to missing item. Weight doesnt mean anything. Youre leaving responsibility on a customer and disregarding poor packaging without using tapes and no signature required at delivery. Do you have any comments about poor packaging and lack of signature required played on your part?

On the morning of May 15, 2025 I placed an order online at nordstrom using my gift card to pay for the purchase and checked the balance of the gift card at that time to see if there was any money on the gift card (there is a screenshot of it) I was ready to place another order on May 19th and found out that the balance of the gift card was 0. At that time, I contacted customer service and was told that the gift card was also used to purchase ***** ******** foundation on May 15th with the order number #*********, and that I had never placed that order and that my account didn't have that order. I stated that I had never placed an order for ***** ****** foundation and that there was no such order in my account. The next day, customer service emailed me and said that they had flagged the transaction as an unauthorized purchase, but that since the item was purchased at the Nordstrom store at the *******************, **, it could not be replacement online, so they needed to be contacted to resolve the issue. I called the store and told them what happened and they told me they would look into it, but two weeks have passed and I haven't received any contact from the store or the results of the investigation, I haven't shopped at the store this year, I haven't lost my gift card, and unbelievably the gift card was stolen from the store!

I am filing this complaint against Nordstrom due to an unresolved issue regarding a return and refund. I purchased a pair of shoes over the phone using my Nordstrom credit card. I later returned the item by mail, and Nordstrom has acknowledged receiving the return.Despite confirmation of the return, I have yet to receive my refund weeks later. I have contacted Nordstrom customer service multiple times, only to be given inconsistent and misleading information. One representative assured me that the refund was on its way, while another abruptly ended the conversation after promising to follow up yet no follow-up ever occurred.Because of Nordstroms delay and lack of follow-through, I am now being charged interest on my Nordstrom credit card for a balance that should have already been cleared. This is unacceptable and highlights the companys recent decline in customer service standards.Attached are transcripts/screenshots of my conversations with two separate Nordstrom representatives, illustrating the confusion, conflicting information, and poor handling of my case.

On May 10, 2025 I purchased 12 items from Nordstrom totaling $1,202.90. I expected a expedited delivery on May 14, 2025 and instead of getting any delivery I did not receive my package. I waited and then reached out to Nordstrom for help and Nordstrom refuses to provide proof of delivery. I never received the items and Nordstrom refuses to provide proof of delivery of all the items which gives me reason to believe they were not delivered. I need to know where my packages were left so that I can try and find it since it was not delivered to my address.

Complaint: 23414761

I am rejecting this response because:
Thank you for your response and for taking the time to look into this matter. However, I must respectfully disagree with the outcome of your investigation.
At this time, there is no proof of delivery confirming that the packages in question were delivered to my address. I did not receive the items, and there is no photo or signed confirmation showing that they were left at or near my residence. Could you please confirm the exact address where the packages were delivered?
Additionally, I kindly request that you provide photo evidence of each delivery, as well as any delivery confirmation data that supports the claim that the packages were successfully delivered to me. A delivery to a stranger or a random person that did not order or pay for the items is not acceptable. I should get the items that I paid for, not just anyone that the delivery person decides to hand over my things to.
Without verifiable proof of delivery to my address and to me, the issue has not been fully resolved. I appreciate your help in clarifying this matter.
Best regards,

I made a purchase with Nordstrom through the app on 10/14/2023. Order #*********. I recently returned 3 items from that order in one package. I returned the package on 5/12/25 and the ***** tracking shows that it was successfully delivered on 5/17/25. Tracking #************. I received a refund for 2 out of the 3 items fairly quickly, however I am still waiting on a refund for the last item, specifically the Topshop Crewneck Sweater that was $62.00. I chat with a *** on the website on 5/28/25, they told me they would get me a refund, then I received an email saying it was unable to be processed. I called on 5/29/25 and was told again by a *** that I would receive a refund, and then heard nothing. I emailed ******************************************* on 6/2/25 and received an email back on 6/3/25 saying, "Though the tracking does tell us when a package was delivered it does not tell us what the package contained, and we have not been able to validate the return of Crewneck Sweater. This leaves us in a situation in which a refund cannot be issued. Once the items are physically received and validated, a refund will be issued at that time. Should you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us directly at ************." I have already called, I have sent back the package that contained 3 items from the same order, and I'm receiving a prompt that I've researched online is the exact same verbiage used in scenarios like this. I literally included the third item in the same exact package where 2 of the 3 items were refunded to me. Please pull the camera footage of the employee doing my return, because you will clearly see in the package there are 3 items and I sent back a perfectly unused, unwashed, brand new item that still had the tag intact. I would not be going out of my way to fight for $67.11 if I didn't hold up my end, but the fact that I'm being gaslit and told I didn't do something is infuriating. I did my part correctly, now please do yours.
