The Return Process: Two Routes

1. In-Store Returns (FREE!):

- Where to go: Any U.S. Nordstrom Rack or Nordstrom store. Ask assistance at Express Services, Customer Service, or any register.
- Refund wait time: 3-5 business days.
2. Mail Returns:
- Begin online by initiating a return.
- Use the prepaid shipping label emailed to you. No printer? Get a label printed at an eligible carrier location using your digital return code.
- Return processing time: 10-14 business days post receipt.

Starting March 15, 2023, late returns will be refunded via an electronic gift card instead of the original payment method.
What Can I Return?
- Eligible items: Apparel, footwear, home goods, and most accessories unless labeled as “Final Sale” or “Non-Returnable”.
- Condition: Items should be unused, unaltered, undamaged, and returned in original packaging.
- Exceptions: Beauty items are generally final sale. Fine jewelry and designer items from Nordstrom can't be returned to Nordstrom Rack.
