To help determine if your connection is secure, look at the status bar of your browser window. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending on your browser), Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) should be active, which helps to protect the transmission of information through the website. You should also verify that the URL for the page you are on includes "https" at the beginning. Most browsers offer additional security alerts as well.

Items that aren't available to ship when an order is placed are on backorder and will ship at a later date. We'll provide you with an approximate ship date when you add the item to your bag and when you check out. Backorder ship dates are approximate, and we'll email you if the date changes. Please note that, while your credit card will be authorized on the date you place your order, you will not be charged until the item ships.

Separate Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack accounts that use the same email address will soon be combined into a single account. Your credentials, name, contact information, payment methods, shipping addresses and Nordy Club account will all be available under one account.

If you have accounts on both Nordstrom.com and NordstromRack.com using the same email address to sign in, the account you use less often will be merged with your other account, and the remaining account will be ready to use across both sites. You should receive an email from us informing you of the sign-in you'll be using. You can use your account on both sites, making it easier than ever to manage your shopping experience. Plus, if you're a member of The Nordy Club, your in-store and online purchase information will show up under your purchase history.

If you have accounts on both Nordstrom.com and NordstromRack.com with separate email addresses as your sign-in, you will continue to sign in to each site as usual using the email address you've provided for each one.

No, Nordstrom.com does not participate in pop-up advertising. If you are seeing pop-up ads on your computer screen, it is most likely due to an adware program installed on your hard drive. Many of these programs are designed to install themselves with little to no warning while you browse shopping, coupon and music websites.

Recently, there has been an increase in the number of websites and emails that try to lure customers into providing personal information. Often these emails or websites solicit charitable donations under the name of reputable companies or offer gift cards in return for information. Nordstrom does not solicit charitable donations in this way, or sponsor these websites, nor are we affiliated with the site operators. If you are aware of any potentially fraudulent websites or emails, please forward the information to [email protected] or call us at 1.888.282.6060 so that we can follow up.

Our partnership with third-party sellers connects customers with a wide range of relevant products, offering an expansive selection and convenience.
