Nordstrom return policy

Partially verified · Last verified 2026-10-14

Nordstrom handles returns case by case with free returns in store or by mail; refunds go to the original tender.

Why needs verification: Official page states no fixed time limit (the FAQ answer on time limits/worn items did not load).
Standard return window
No fixed window stated—Nordstrom says it handles returns case by case
Receipt / no-receipt
If Nordstrom chooses to refund and no record of sale is available, it asks for personal ID and refunds the current price on a Nordstrom gift card.
Exceptions
  • Gift cards cannot be returned
  • Fine jewelry: not by mail; return to a store with a Fine Jewelry department
  • Car seats/bases: original unopened boxes only
  • Watchfinder & Co. pre-owned items: final sale
  • Balsam Hill: 30 days or before Dec 25, whichever first
  • Fine jewelry and designer items cannot go to Nordstrom Rack; boutique returns at original store
  • Special-occasion dresses/designer items: same condition with tags attached
Refund method
Original tender; in-store refunds in 3–5 business days, mail returns processed in 8–12 business days.
