Nordstrom Rack

Always a fun adventure trying to find deals. Wish there were more locations so that I could shop the Rack more often. Staff is always friendly & love the new associate checkout by the staff roaming the sales floor asking if you need help.

After goods spend a season in Nordstrom on the shelves they make their way to the Rack. A store stocked with timeless classics and last year’s styles, all marked down and in no particular order. The store is a hodgepodge of randomness, both the style of the clothing and the store layout.
You never know what will turn up on the shelves at Nordstrom Rack. Sometimes a whole line of designer couture makes it’s way in and you can score. It takes time and energy to sort through the racks (is this why they call it Nordstrom Rack?). Don’t expect assistance from in store associates, you are on your own and it is pure chaos in the store! Plan to spend time sifting through a bunch of styles from yesteryear in your quest for that fashion find.

RIDICULOUS. I went in to return a blouse I bought a couple weeks ago, unfortunately I did not have my receipt, but I did have the tags attached and the card I purchased it on. The cashier (older woman with heavy makeup) told me she could only give me $ 5 because that was the current price and I could not receive my $ 15 I paid for it. I went to the trouble of finding the purchase on my card statement to get my money back, because she «couldn’t locate the purchase». The cashier preceded to tell me that she can only give me $ 5 on a store credit so I asked to speak to the «manager”(short petite man with grey hair), far from it, and I politely asked him if I can receive my money back, he told me no and that I can only get a store credit. I asked him if I can at least receive what I paid, and he reluctantly said yes. I’ve never had such a tough time returning an item, especially an item for $ 15!!! Seriously?! It’s called CUSTOMER SERVICE. Oh and that’s not all, as I walked away from the register, the cashier had the audacity to turn around and start laughing and talking about me with the «manager» right in front of me!!! If I could give ZERO stars I would. What a disgrace.

Fun place if u have some time to dig through the racks and find a treasure. Sometimes u get lucky and they have an extra 25% clearance… Yahoo… and most of the employees are working g very hard to get you rung up quickly and on your way… wish they had more events and community involvement

Nice location. I’m partial to the Mission Valley store but this one is not so bad. Great location, and friendly employees here as well. I have to give a special shout out to Mai! You can tell she LOVES what she does. I watched her give undevided attention to at least 6 different people including me. When she was helping you, you felt as if she wasn’t helping anyone else. I was 3^rd in line and left the line just so she can ring me up because she was that incredible and I wanted to be able to tell her. Nordstrom Rack, you’ve got one devoted employee. I used to manage retail stores and people like her are hard to find… hold onto her and never let her go!!!

I visited this store for the first time today. The store was orderly and clean. The prices weren’t as low as I had hoped. I did end up buying a cute blouse and some under garments. I feel the prices at the outlets in Carlsbad are better.
I might come back again.

I love this location a lot more than the Mission Valley location because parking is better and it’s closer to other shops. Every time I come here, the reps are really friendly and I find great deals left and right. I’d love it if they had a bigger purse selection, but the shoes and jewelry sections are my favorite. This is definitely one of my favorite places to shop.

You don’t have to feel guilty buying a gift from an outlet store when it’s called Nordstrom Rack.
For the past few years Nordstrom Rack has been my ace in the whole when taking the kids out to buy gifts for «mom» for Christmas. How present buying works in my house is that mom writes up a general list of things she wants and we usually end up here to get fancy brands and fair prices.
NR is a good place for robes. Unlike Target and other places, the robes here are very plush and soft. They felt nothing like the chain stores «hotel towel» robes.
NR’s were about 20 bucks.
As far as guy clothing, it’s all about being there at the right time.
It’s worth a stop just to check it out.

Been to this location many times before as well as the other location in Carmel Mountain Ranch. I like how they have lower prices than Nordstrom’s but realize you’re buying older styles. From clothes, shoes and travel bags they have it all.
For women they also have sunglasses and accessories to finish off your outfits. What’s even better is you can accrue your points and spend them here as well.
This location is very organized and has ample parking.
The associates are friendly and eager to help. Not sure if they also get compensated via commission but you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.
If you’re searching for something and can’t find it at the Marshall’s or Ross which are a few stores over either direction, pay a little more and get it here.
I was surprised to see that they even offer «San Diego» Chargers Hats!

If you have ever wanted to travel to Eastern Europe and you just didn’t have the funds you can get the full experience and surround yourself with foreigners simply by stepping trough the doors at this location. It’s just like an overcrowded bazar in the old Soviet Block!
Be prepared to feel like everyone is talking about you in a language you don’t understand though!
Or just don’t leave your house with the hopes of getting a good deal on the day after Christmas!

You can always count on finding awesome clothes and shoes here for a lot less than retail! Clearance time is probably when you find the east deals. They also check you out on the spot so no line l!!!

Great selection of shirts. I bought two off the rack and also a pair of sweats. A little messy, but that is because the deals were very good. Lot’s of shoes too. this was a pleasant surprise. I’ll definitely be back.

Great for guys. It’s always a challenge shopping for mens clothes. Just step foot in any department store and you will see that the women’s section outsizes the mens by a factor of five.
While this Nordstrom Rack is not the largest I have shopped, or the most diverse-​it is one of the most consistent and friendliest. As often as I go there, I am always surprised by how well natured most of the staff tends to be and even when busy they do a fine job of keeping the racks and tables as organized as possible.
Not the widest selection if you are wide and/​or tall like me, but I still manage to find plenty of great wardrobe flourishes. The shoe section is great also and I wish they would make an effort to stock more of the higher end designers in footwear like they used to since that was my number one draw to this location and has since waned with the lower quantity of higher end designer footwear.
All the same, the only time I am bummed out coming here is when I don’t find anything to my taste but I can’t remember ever being upset with the service or the selection-​even if none of it was for me that day.
And yes the women’s section is enormous. So ladies bring your fella and fellas, bring your lady.

While this is «the rack» there is no difference in quality and customer service. The clothes, at least for the the men, are well organized and easy to find size, designer and type.
If you compare the prices to other similar selections to the other Nordstrom stores they’re lower and nearly identical! I had the nicest rep help me with finding a return — because like an idiot I lost my receipt — she totally patient and nice the entire time. I felt bad about people waiting, but the lines went through flawlessly. Kudos to the staff and management team at this store. I plan on continuing to buy at this rack. Also, if the lines are long, ask anyone with a «credit card reader» and skip the lines! They’re always willing to help! Happy saving and shopping everyone!

OBSESSED, great staff & awesome deals!
Purchased a fabulous high-​waisted skirt for $ 40 which retails for $ 260!
Then, had to invest in a heavily discounted Kate Spade Bag!
Had the opportunity to avoid a long line and paid at a terminal.
The man who rung me up was extremely friendly and personable.
Great place for some shopping reprieve!

This is my lunch spot guilty pleasure– When I’m hungry for a little shopping ;). Located in San Marcos off Las Posas, there is a large parking lot never too busy to not find a space.
This Nordys Rack is by far the cleanest and most organized Rack in San Diego– I am not exaggerating. I’ve been to them all– this one I can find what I need in my size easily. The prices are great and always a huge selection of clothes, shoes, jewelry, and accessories.
For the most part, the employees are helpful. I can skip the long line up front and use the sneaky cell phone registers the girls in the green shirts use around the departments. My only concern is the girls working the fitting room. They seem a little rushed and not too friendly when taking your clothes and getting you a dressing room. I waited about 5 minutes to get a room while the girl went back and forth with the go backs (I was front of line). All in all, this location works for me, and I’m a big fan of the store.

Be ready to throw some elbows during their busy times for good deals! It’s a really well organized store with great prices on some things. I’ve only encountered friendly employees here.
Oh, the highlight of the trip was the shoe section. It just goes on for miles!

I love a good bargain. Really, is there anything more thrilling than scoring a Marc Jacobs bag for less than half price? Maybe a few things, sure… but you get the idea. I’ve seriously scored some major deals here. However, those deals come with a price: long lines for the dressing room, screaming kids everywhere, surly old ladies who are tired of waiting in line. All those things considered, I still give this place a thumbs up. All employees are super friendly and helpful, and store stays relatively organized given the onslaught of crazy it gets assaulted with daily. I’d advise against going on a weekend, cuz that’s the peak of insanity.
Protip: every employee in a green shirt can ring you up using their nifty mobile registers (provided you’re paying with a card, but does anyone even carry cash anymore?)

I have love for all Nordstrom Racks, and I am fortunate that my new residence (CA) has more locations than the rest of the US combined.
For my husband and our credit cards, not so lucky…
The prices are fair compared to buying retail, if you browse all the racks, I am a sucker for the clearance and designer show clearance you can get great deals, I usually set myself a limit to only get things under $ 100 a piece and you can actually find a lot of high end designers within the budget, love it!
The lines are always a bit long but they move along fast and now they have the new check out where all store workers can ring you up without having to get in line!
One of my favorite stores!

This is probably my favorite of the discount stores, and definitely my favorite Nordstrom Rack location.
I have gotten serious steals here on multiple occasions!
Last time I was here, I got $ 160 wedges for like $ 20.
When I was here Saturday morning I got Tory Burch flats I’ve been dying to get for months for over $ 60 off the price they are currently at Nordy’s online/​fashion valley!
They also had a $ 650 Burberry bag for like $ 200, it’s one of those things I keep saying «Crap, I should have bought that!»
They do get SUPER packed on weekends so I try to go at off times.
