Nordstrom Rack

I don’t know why, but every time I would shop at the Rack I would get terrible headaches. The front of the store is a little more organized, but towards the middle it is all messy! Especially the dress racks. All the sizes are always mixed in with one another and you literally have to dig through everything to find anything. I would always go in there and think «Okay, maybe this time I will actually find something». But I never found anything I liked or that looked nice on me.

Nordstrom’s just lost a customer for life. …I thought Nordstrom’s accepted returns. Apparently it’s only for 90 days. Not cool Nordstrom’s– not cool at all.

Lots of brands and great deals. I like the shoes here, I’m usually able to find a pair I like. The work out clothes and basic layers are nice. However I hate check out here. Long lines, broken POS system, front end needs remodel badly.

Very well organized at this location, everything seems to be where it’s supposed to be. Got some great Sam Edelman booties for $ 70 that were regular price $ 160! There were lots of boots and booties on sale I guess I came at the right time.
The only downside to this particular location I would say is that there was a super super long line up — longer than other higher traffic locations (ie. downtown Seattle). They only had two cashiers working and finally someone pulled me aside to ring me up on the mobile till.
This store had good sale racks that seemed less picked through than other stores but that’s probably due to the slower traffic for this location. In terms of designer brand selection I would say there weren’t as many as more central locations.
I would probably visit this store again if I’m in the area and coming to check out the rest of the mall anyways. I’m always struggling with my Nordstrom Rack addiction…

Lines are always crazy long here and it almost always looks like a bomb exploded in the place. They recently redid the layout again and it is worse than ever. That being said every once in a while I’ll find some great buys — so it gets 3 stars!

Selection is always FANTASTIC but the lines are painfully long and the checkers are so slow…

They are not all created equally: Nordstrom Rack in Southcenter is by far the better way to go.
First off, the layout is awkward, it was really odd that they only have one set of registers, only by the mall entrance doors, there are no registers by the parking lot doors, not only was it odd, but it also screams, «SHOPLIFTERS PARADISE», I just really didn’t think that the layout was very well thought out, and odd.
I was shopping for about an hour, until one person said something to me. Finally, as I’m about to leave, one employee asked the lady next to me if she needed help finding anything, she then turned and said hi to me, and I thought that she would ask me if I needed help finding anything, and she didn’t, she just turned and walked away, before I could ask for help. I’d been in that area for almost and hour shopping with no one in the area, this lady comes to the isle, and within 5 minutes someone’s asking her if she needs help, just another thing that I thought to be odd.
On one hand the lady that rang my purchase up was very nice and friendly, but she kept going on about their cards programs after I said that I’d think about it, I didn’t like that she kept telling me about the program, because I already said I’d think about it, and there was a long line, there is no need to take 5 minutes to ring 1 item up, even more oddness.
I wasn’t very impressed with their merchandise either, although the product was plenty, the selection seemed to target only a few styles, not a large variety as for styles. I think that Grandma’s, teens, and strippers might like this place. And don’t get me started on the pricing, it didn’t really feel worth it, it didn’t feel like a deal at all.
The Southcenter location seems to have it down, I think this place can take some notes from them.

I have never liked Nordstrom rack. The styles of clothing seem so unstylish and and geared for an older generation.
Also, they seem to never have anything in my size. Perhaps not much XS’s end up here for demographic reasons, or most everything in my size is bought up. Not sure. I don’t really care.
The prices are still very high. Even if the merchandise is name brand, it’s name brand reject, so I’d think the point is to clearance the crap out.
They play horrendous music, too.
I have never been assisted by an employee at Nordstrom rack. Not once. However, the gal that rang me up in the shoe department was kind. Too bad they have her behind the counter, she should be on the floor helping guests. ;)
My husband seems to like this store fine. Maybe it’s a guy thing, maybe it’s his bad taste in music! ;)

I could not believe how kmart like thw staff here treats customers. This is poor customer service at the best. Run away from this budget, poor service kmart like store.

I love the Rack, but rarely get the stellar service that I receive at the regular Nordy’s.
Lauren however changed all that! She was fantastic and helped me buy 3 pairs of shoes. Thank you Lauren!

EEEPP. I love Nordstrom Rack! I don’t know why I haven’t come here more often!
What the price tags… why is it so … LESS expensive? Jeez… the things I could have spent my money on here…
Every time I came to the Super Mall… I would pass by the Rack… and leave empty handed.
This time, my mom… needed a pair of sneakers… so I thought, let’s go Super Mall! I bet they have cheaper prices at the Rack!
My mom… gave a look of disappointment and left.
I met the love of my life (:
Okay, she wasn’t the first love of my life unfortunately, but don’t tell her.
The Betsey Johnson Stud Muffin Cross Body Bag… so frikken cute! I know right?
Well, I was googly eyes over it for a few days, about a month ago… and it was $ 88+ tax…
I shook my head and said, nopes, too ‘spensive!
–a month goes by without thinking about it–
I SEE IT! Yes, the Stud Muffin! MMMHMM! I run [ok… fast walk] towards it and see that it is… ONLY $ 44+ tax… what the?! half price? It cannot get any better than this right?
Oh but wait… I didn’t come here … with the intention of spending any money … sad day.
I was on a TIGHT budget… but decided I should reward myself once in awhile.
I knew it was a good deal for… the price, I just had to… yep… I got it alright.
The coral color! I love it and am so glad that I bought it! Although my wallet… felt betrayed (:

Nordstrom was in the Supermall complex, easy to find on the car navigation. Parking was good Friday just after opening time. I found a really good deal on a pair of black Italian dress slacks at 90% off. It took a bit for the floor reps to open a fitting room, it was an average wait time, so I looked at the ties.
I was impressed at the free and fast alteration service offered. The mobile phone credit card reader was a welcome alternative to waiting in a line at the register– just swipe on the spot from anywhere in the store.
Nice deals and good customer service. The trousers on sale with new tie designs will definitely bring me back.

Jenna was the most helpful associate I’ve ever encountered in any Nordstrom store!!!

This place is a shadow of who they used to be. This used to be the place to go for closeout and limited quantity deals, now this is a place that is trying to be the «Costco» of retail apparel. I say skip this place and if you have to carry a Nordstrom’s back. Wait for one of the 3 annual sales and stock up in a flagship store.

The shoe department is obviously set up and run by the lobotomized. Dozens of racks of thousands of unorganized shoes means huge lines at the shoe window. None of this is hard to get. Why staff with one little very, very slow guy?
It seems the prices are up, or maybe just the discounts aren’t as good as in the past. I’ll go back, but never for shoes.

+4 stars for awesome prices
–2 stars for customer service.
So I’ll preface this by saying, I’m probably used to the excellent service I get at a regular Nordstrom so my standards are probably way too high for this place. But let me say this, every time I set foot in one of these outlet type places, I’m reminded why I hate them… there are pushy people and rude workers.
The bad: the woman in the fitting room. I won’t get into details, she was just not helpful, unfriendly and even bossy.
The good: if you have time, you can find some awesome deals here.
Tips: Go earlier in the morning before it gets too busy. SOmetimes being there in the morning can be a pain because it seems like they are busy re-​stocking shelves but it’ll save you time in the long run.

You can definitely find good deals here. The one thing about this specific rack is the lack of organization and simple customer service. I can understand the random clothes and accessories being misplaced and all over the place but the lack of customer service is my main concern. The clerk at the register was spaced out and apathetic. She just took the clothes, rang it up, and looked at us without saying a word. It was awkward. I’m not asking for a conversation– just a simple thing called human interaction.

There are some OK deals here, especially on shoes.
Maybe because this is Nordstrom, I was hoping to find great deals on brands that are typically found at Nordstrom; perhaps last year’s stuff, factory seconds, etc. But they have a lot of cheap-​o stuff that you never find at a regular Nordstrom. That’s kind of disappointing, since I didn’t come here looking for those things. And the few actual Nordstrom items they have are still quite pricey.

Not nearly as good it’s counterparts downtown Seattle or in Bellevue, but it’s still a Nordstrom Rack, and that beats Ross ten times out of ten.
I wasn’t able to locate any real steals when I was here. Point of clarification: It needs to be a high end ITALIAN designer label for more then 50% off to be a real steal in my book. I understand that only happens once in a blue moon, or the item is so hideous Versace would roll over in his grave if he ever saw it on another human being. That said, at MULTIPLE other Nordy Racks, I’ve found Armani, Dolce and Versace for real steals or better.
Back to this rack. Even though I didn’t find anything, my shopping buddy was able to purchase three pairs of Seven For All Mankind jeans for more then 50% off.
Good for them, not for me. I would have given two stars, but I’m all for other peoples happiness, and they were happy, so bonus star for you Nordstrom Rack.

Oh how the glory days of the «super» mall have fallen. Does anyone remember the store «Incredable Universe!» I miss that place, it was a bit Fry’s and a bit Best Buy all rolled up into one place. Pre-Fry’s and Best Buy…
Anywho…
This Rack is a bit lacking, the clothes are shrewn hither and yawn, small children run the isles somewhat reminds me of a daycare, minus the riding toys. When’s snacktime served, I wonder…
Deals can be found, usually in someone else’s arms, I had to follow this dude around until he freaked out and dropped that size 9.5 EE Keen boot he was carrying, that I was drooling at… I left before the cops arrived…
Bargins galore, kids a plenty, sheesh, had I wanted to hear that much screaming going on, I would have stayed at home!
Shop till you drop… or the cops roll up…
