Nordstrom Rack

Not ready to blow your whole clothing budget on one shirt at the mall? Add the Rack to your designer discount clothing store rotation.
The Selection:
The couple times I’ve been here, we were looking for specific items. First time, I needed new dress shoes for work. When you don’t want to wear your one pair of [enter trendy Italian shoe brand here] around the office, but you want to *appear* like you’re sporting your best, it’s important to shop around. I found a brown pair and a black pair. Both brands look swanky, fit well, feel good, and only cost me about $ 100 total. The second visit was a quest to buy new jeans for Erin S. It didn’t take her long to find a nice style for $ 35.
The Setup:
The space feels a bit cramped, though it appears they try to use the layout to display the maximum amount of clothing possible. When buying shoes, the rack offers one pair to try on, and its partner can be found behind the scenes. Just ask one of the customer service people on the back wall to help you out. In essence, the store looks similar to a TJ Maxx, Marshall’s, etc.
The Math:
Let’s talk about your budget. If you want t-​shirts in the $ 10 – 15 range (I love Target, by the way), you’re unlikely to find that here. However, if you can make room to buy the same kind of clothes found in large department stores for about half the price, that’s what the Rack is all about. A perfect example is Pyscho Bunny. It’s the brand that boasts colorful and high quality menswear, with an endearing bunny skull and crossbones insignia. Their shirts will run you $ 45 in stores and online. At the Rack, you can fill your closet for only about $ 20 – 25 each.
Did I mention they have an online store? They do; and the prices and selection are good. Very comparable to a site like JackThreads. Overall, I’ve been happy with my experiences at Nordstrom Rack and promise to pop in now and again to check out their selection.

I received a silver bracelet from Nordstrom for Christmas but sadly had an unfortunate incident with an electrical strip that left my bracelet blackened and broken in two. I took my bracelet to Nordstrom with neither a receipt nor high hopes for a positive outcome. But the man in the jewelry department promptly took my poor, broken bracelet and switched it out for a brand new one, no questions asked! Thank you Nordstrom, you have gained my loyalty.

I’m a fan of Nordstrom, in general, and the Rack stores are always worth a stop if you’re looking for a good deal. While I loathe shopping, I DO like going to the Rack, because they are all laid out the same, and are easy to navigate. Most important for me, it seems I can always find a great deal on either casual or dress shoes, which makes the Rack worthy of 4-​stars!
Cheers!

Oh goodness, where to start! This was my first time in Nordstrom Rack. Maybe I should have expected what I walked in to, but I wasn’t ready! Shoes piled on top of shoes. Not a soul around to help. Just dig in and hope you find something you like. And if you do, don’t spend time looking for the mate. The mate is locked up in the back and you have to ask someone to bring it to you. Crazy! That craziness isn’t why they are only receiving three stars however. The checkout process was ridiculous! Two registers open with high maintenance customers leaving the line growing and not a manager or another employee in sight. Multiple customers dropped their items and walked out and I was close to doing so as well. Quite frustrating and just a sign of poor management.

I enjoyed shopping here. Nice selection of shoes to check out. They had some good yoga pants and tops when I was there.
I found a couple of DKNY women’s underwear that I love.
I just go with no expectations, and I usually find something good. It’s fun to look at all the weird stuff that I couldn’t imagine wearing.
Yea some people can be rude while bargain shopping. Just tune them out, and do your thing.

I normally have great service & love the deals at Nordstrom Rack. Yesterdat they were having a problem with their scanners they use throughout the stars by the clerks to allow for easy and quick paying via credit cards. It took nearly 20 minutes because of the service problems, but the amazing Kate Spade purse at a great price was worth the wait!

ZERO STARS
Worst Nordstrom rack experience ever. I shop at Nordstrom for a ton of stuff and most of my clothing items come from here. That being said I’ll drive the extra distance to go to Tempe or Scottsdale. I went during clear the rack promotion and I was there shopping for a while. I didn’t realize it till time had gone by but the announcement was made that store would be closing. I made my way to the front with a very full cart. I was the last customer in line and the last one to leave the store. I got to the front and was forced to deal with Loretta which is where my trouble started. I don’t know who hired this lady but I have never met anyone so rude in my entire life. She clearly was upset that heaven forbid the last customer has a ton of stuff to ring out. She started scanning in a fury and was grumbling through the whole process. She insisted that I separate clearance items and remove my own hangers so the store could close. That is absurd but at the time I didn’t mind she was scanning and bagging so fast that I couldn’t keep track of the prices going into bag. I’m finally finished I cough up about 1000 $. I head through the doors and the sensors go off and Loretta makes her co-​workers (who were really nice) look through my bags to make sure all the sensors were removed. Half an hour later I’m finally leaving. Only to get home and realize almost my entire receipt is incorrect everything from being overcharged to missing items and somehow I ended up with a shoe missing. The next day I just returned it all I didn’t need the hassle of trying to fix my receipt. I won’t shop at this location ever again. LORETTA is a BEAST so steer clear if you choose to shop here. Find anyone but her because the experience will ruin Nordstrom for you. Tempe and Scottsdale are about to be my go to locations.

Poor selection, store was messy, clearance crap everywhere. The woman ringing me up didn’t even say thank you… Very rude

Not a fan of shopping, but appreciate a clean store with decent service and selection. Still a bit pricey, but once in a while you can score.

This is where me and my friend shop. She’s my friend because we both know what its like for people to be jealous of us!

Addicted to shopping here I get almost everything here Daniel rainn is my favorite brand! Your clearance items are amazing, I can fit in their junior items so they’re a little less pricey for me think goodness! Prices are obviously much better than Nordstrom its still coming from Nordstrom which is nice so good quality clothes

This store is hit and miss, but if you’ve got the time and the patience to search, you can find some treasures. I especially like the makeup and denim sections, while I have never once found a «deal» on a pair if shoes here– better prices can be had during sales at the department stores. I love that I can add a new designer item to my wardrobe for a fraction of the cost, even if it was from last season (who cares?). Yesterday I bought a pair of Joes jeans on clearance for $ 32 marked down from $ 178– yes please!

So helpful. My kind of store. I had to return some sandals I bought for my granddaughter and not knowing better I misjudged her size. I bought them in Denver awhile ago becuse they were so darn cute. I had to return them when I got to Arizona. I did not have my receipt but no problem. The lady found them somehow and gave me my money back. Oh yes.
Then I went back in the store and bought more things and used up the money from the sandals and then some. Still need a cute pair of sandals in a kids 6 or I guess adult 6. Bummer.

I love me some nordstrom rack. My favorite one is in sac, but here on vacay I spotted this one while driving with my boys. The people working there were amazing! So, helpful with helping me find a different size in these shorts I loved, but couldn’t remember where I found them. They had a great selection of designer denim and everything else I love. I’ll be back next year :)

The selection here seems better for women than men. Maybe I came on the wrong day. Who knows. It seems like the better clothing options are found in the skinny short men’s section. That makes no sense to me considering that most of America is fat. Like I said it could totally just have been the day before inventory came in. The staff is friendly but that doesn’t really matter if they don’t have anything I’m interested in. I don’t know how but it seems like TJ MAXX next door is the better option.

I have a shopping problem and Nordstrom Rack certainly doesn’t help with that.
I really love this store, it has everything you could ever want, but at prices that won’t make you stay away like that floor at Nordstrom that you know better than to go on. You KNOW which one I’m talking about.
I have found some awesome stuff here, from hair product to coats to make up to designer jeans. I have found designer shoes for practically nothing and super in style! I really love that they keep the selection up and their sales are generally massive.
The reason I gave this store only three stars is because the last time I was in there I happened to take my stuff to a little counter that sits amongst the racks to make it more convenient for those paying with credit cards. As I’m there the guy can’t scan some hair product so I offer to go grab another one while he finishes ringing up my other things. When I come back there’s this obnoxiously rude blonde girl ringing up someone else and practically pushing me out of the way. She would NOT move. While my stuff was on the counter. Being rung up. Before she ever got there. I was fuming. She was so up in my purchase that the guy ringing me up forgot to take a safety tag off as skirt so of course the alarm goes off. Thanks, rude girl.
Anyway, I love this store, but you sometimes have to search for really good deals and then there’s the rude blonde chick. Other than that it’s a super sweet indulgence!

Well, it’s a Nordstrom Rack. Same business model as all of the others, same level of service, varying choice of merchandise (depends on when they get a truck). I will say that I needed a tie and pocket square for a wedding I was going to — I was not left disappointed when the store clerk directed me back to the section to find them.
As it’s a NR, there was a long line (seems to always happen) but they did a good job of keeping it moving, using their hand flags to indicate when the register is ready for another customer. Keep in mind though — the line starts in one place despite the two lines of registers. Some customers get irate if you jump it and will promptly alert you to your ‘crime.’ (Sorry nasty lady in blue!)

It’s a hit or miss kind of place. If you chance it when there’s a store wide end of season clearance sale, you’re in luck. I found so many good things here. You have ti weed through all the outlet crap to find designer pieces. I have a Narcisso Rodriguez pleated gold lamé skirt for a fraction of the price. Armani Exchange vision wear had a surplus and it ended up here last time. Too bad I lost it and in need of replacement soon.
As for the men’s department, it was disappointing to see to many junky styles. Other than that, the kids section is pretty good!
This is really a decent store.

I’ve been quite a few Nordstrom Rack, and this location has a great selection of designer clothes and Sale Racks.
You can definately walk out with some great deals. I’m not too fond of the shoe section, though.

So I am not a huge fan of Nordstrom’s Rack but I have to say I like the idea that they have great deals on designer jeans for men and women. Some of their clothing and seemingly all of their shoes still seem over-​priced despite the sale price.
I wanted to post a review mainly for the fact that they have an in-​house tailor who did a great job on some jeans I purchased at the store. I didn’t need them back right away so she had them ready by her promise date of six dates later.
Convenience is always a plus. :)
