Nordstrom Rack is a brick and mortar as well as e-commerce store owned by the very popular Nordstrom company. 

The first Nordstrom rack was opened in 1973 as a clearance outlet store, and it’s grown massively from there. Today, Nordstrom Rack offers name brand clothing at a large discount. The carry fashion merchandise for women, men, and children, as well as some personal care and beauty items.

Tips for shopping at Nordstrom Rack:

1. Nordstrom Rack’s return policy is not as lenient as Nordstrom’s.

In general, this applies to most outlet-type stores. In Nordstrom Rack’s case, you need to have both the item’s tags and receipts in order to return merchandise. You can get a full refund or exchange an item 30 days after purchase.

2. Look for the colored stripe on the tag.

Some items are made specifically for Nordstrom Rack as opposed to castoffs from Nordstrom itself. In general, items made for outlets like Nordstrom Rack are not as high quality. An item from Nordstrom will have a colored mark on the tag, while an item made for Nordstrom Rack will have a plain white tag, so make sure you know which you’re buying.
