For those of you who do not know me all that well, I absolutely LOVE Nordstrom. I love everything about this company! They are holding a sale starting on Wednesday, where customers will be able to enjoy 40% off of their purchases. Along with that, people that have decided to be a Nordstrom cardholder, have the opportunity to receive additional discounts as well as double rewards.

I have been considering becoming a cardholder for a long time, and I think I might just have to make the plunge. Along with the possible discounts for using the card, they will also give you reward points, which will lead to other discounts and advantages. If you spend $2,500 a month a Nordstrom while being a cardholder, you will receive an extra advantage. That amount spent will put you into a specialty category. While in this category, customers have the opportunity to get early previews on items, as well as early previews on sales. That means that there is no necessity in going in on the sale day, and fighting the crowd. You can already have your merchandise all picked out, and they will put that to the side to hold for you. The only drawback (in my eyes) to the early previews is the fact that you will not be able to view the items that are not put out until the actual day of the sale. Now, this is not a large percentage of the overall merchandise, but if by chance, you are waiting for a key item, you will have to go and face the storm on they day of the sale.

The thing I like most about this company is the customer service. I purchased some shirts at Nordstrom and absolutely fell in love with them. I wanted to get them in every color I could, but since it was nearing the end of the season, my options were limited. I found some other colors online, but I wanted to see if they had more anywhere. I called customer service and they found 6 more of the shirts that I wanted, in various colors, across the nation. Since they were actually coming from two different locations that were not close in proximity, they had to send them in two different shipments. I was already expected to pay the shipping cost on one of the shipments, but that still left me with the shipping fees on the other- or so I thought. The company actually waived the shipping fee for the second package, which saved me money. I also saved money on each of the shirts, since I saw that one was listed $10 cheaper than the other three. Since I had mentioned this to them, and the internet could back up my claim, I received all of the shirts for the lower price. I don’t think that you could ask for better customer service, and they were actually friendly and nice as well. Two of the shirts ended up being a slightly different style, so I was able to return them to the store in Tyson’s Corner, without any problems.

I am so excited to go and do my shopping tomorrow, knowing that I will be receiving a minimum of 40% off my purchases. Now, the only obstacle I face is whether or not to sign up for the Nordstrom credit card- I think I might just have to do it!
