Nordstrom Deals & Sales FAQ
Why is the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale different from normal clearance?
Most retail sales clear out items that didn't sell. Nordstrom flips that idea. The Anniversary Sale discounts brand-new fall collections before the season even starts. Once the sale window closes, prices go back up to full retail.
Does Nordstrom price match other stores at checkout?
Not in real time at checkout. Nordstrom's version works after the fact: if Nordstrom or a specific competitor drops the price on something you already bought, you can ask for a refund of the difference. Eligible competitors include vendor sites like Nike.com and Kate Spade, plus named retailers such as Macy's, Bloomingdale's, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Sephora, and Zappos. Outlet stores, flash sales, and third-party marketplace sellers don't count.
Can I get a price adjustment if an item drops after I buy it?
Yes, within 10 days of your shipment date. The item has to match in color and size, and stay in stock at both stores. A few things don't qualify: designer items bought on sale, third-party marketplace purchases, and anything bought during the Anniversary Sale, Daily Deals, or other limited-time promotions. You only get one adjustment per item.
Does Nordstrom offer free shipping on discounted orders?
For US shoppers, standard shipping is free with no minimum spend, even on clearance pieces. This covers all 50 states, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. International orders ship through a separate overseas partner and come with their own carrier fees and duties.
Can international shoppers buy Nordstrom sale items?
Yes. Nordstrom handles international checkout through a partner called ESW, with pricing shown in local currency. A few US perks don't carry over though: international orders don't qualify for free shipping, free returns, gifts with purchase, or price adjustments.
Can I use Nordstrom Notes on discounted items?
Yes. Notes work like store cash and apply to your total at checkout, sale items included. You earn them by converting Nordy Club points, generally at a rate of 1,000 points per $10 Note.
Can I get sale items altered at Nordstrom?
Yes, and the perks scale with your Nordy Club status. Cardmembers with Influencer or Ambassador status get alterations costs refunded as a Note, up to a set yearly amount. Icon status cardmembers get alterations for free. This only applies to items bought from Nordstrom or Nordstrom.com and paid with a Nordstrom card.
When does Nordstrom run its Half-Yearly Sales?
Nordstrom holds two of these a year. The spring one lands in late May into June. The winter one usually kicks off around December 26 and runs into early January, clearing out coats, boots, and holiday leftovers. Exact dates shift slightly year to year.
Can I buy sale items online and pick them up in store?
Yes. Nordstrom offers free store pickup and curbside delivery on eligible sale items that are in stock nearby. Order online or through the app, and grab it the same day instead of waiting on shipping.
Are beauty products included in Nordstrom sales?
Yes, though full-price beauty rarely sees clearance. Nordstrom features beauty exclusives and gift sets during the Anniversary Sale, and it runs a dedicated fall event where select full-price skincare, makeup, and fragrance drop 15% off.
