How Do I Return an Item to Nordstrom from Their Black Friday Sale?

Originally a shoe store and later diversifying into a full-line retailer, Nordstrom is a luxury department store chain. It has departments that specifically supply footwear, clothing, jewelry, handbags, cosmetics, and even fragrances. Other stores feature wedding departments, home furnishings, espresso bars, in-house cafes, and restaurants. With Nordstrom, you can get everything you may need at one location.

Nordstrom offers holiday shopping and regular promotions, whereby customers can purchase goods at relatively low prices. Shoppers may tend to buy items they do not need due to the sweet deals' allure. One such period is the Black Friday sale that occurs during the week after the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday.

While shopping on discounts is quite appealing and enticing, consumers need to know their retailers' return policy to avoid getting stuck with items you don't need or want. Read on to find out all you need to know about Nordstrom's Black Friday sale return policy.

Nordstrom returns; How to go about the return process.

The good thing about Nordstrom's return policy is that it allows shoppers to return items for a refund or exchange without a time limit. All you need is proof of purchase (receipt and original payment form,) and you're good to go whenever you're ready. There are two methods you can use to return items that you purchased from Nordstrom.com or a Nordstrom store:

Return in store

To return an item:

• Locate a nearby Nordstrom store by logging into the official website of the company, navigating to the bottom of the page, clicking on "Stores & Events" on the About us section, enter your State or Zipcode, and tapping the search icon
• Once you have a location, take your item along with the proof of purchase to an open store
• Approach any salesperson to assist with the refund or exchange

Return by mail

Here, all you have to do is:

• Place the item(s) in their original packaging with all content that came with it/them
• Send back the item(s) to Nordstrom using the prepaid return/shipping label that came with the package
• Wait for about 10 to 14 business days for the sales agents to process your return
• Any refund will apply to the tender used for the original purchase

Nordstrom handles returns on a case-by-case basis and strives to satisfy all customers. However, some consumers may find it quite challenging to complete the return process on their own. That's where the service representatives come in. While there are multiple communication methods with the agents, they fall into two categories: verbal and written communications.

Customer care using verbal means

The verbal mode of communicating with the client service team consists of calling the agents toll-free. This is the best way of getting hold of the service team and addressing your return issue. With the verbal means, you can control the flow of communication and seek clarity for multiple other problems. The agents can also provide tips on dealing with service issues in the future.

Service help via written communication

Here, you can use live chat, email, the online help pages, Twitter, and Facebook to address your service issue. The platform allows users to communicate with company agents via chat. With a written record, you can have a reference point in the future whenever you face a similar problem.
