Necklace broke on first wear no resolution at store
The necklace I purchased was extremely fragile and broke the first time I wore it under normal conditions. I have already posted photos documenting the damage along with a review on the Nordstrom Rack app, where the item was purchased.
I initiated a return through the app and visited the Nordstrom Rack store at 20 N State Street, Chicago on January 3, 2026. The store manager informed me that a return or refund could not be processed unless I physically brought back the broken necklace, which I had already discarded after it broke.
Your Nordstrom Rack app return policy states that “Items must not be worn, altered, or damaged” to be returned. In this case, however, the item was damaged due to poor quality, not misuse. This distinction is not clearly addressed in the policy, nor was it communicated during the return process.
It feels unfair to customers when a defective item cannot be resolved despite clear photographic documentation and immediate reporting. This requirement appears to place all burden on the customer and leaves no reasonable resolution when an item fails on first wear.
Hope you can forward this message to your online store and they can refund me easily from there.

This store needs a better process for ship-to-store. This was the first time I used this service at a Rack store. I didn’t mind waiting in the extremely long Xmas line, and I continued to be friendly and patient when the cashier had to hunt down my parcels. I was a bit taken aback when she stacked the two boxes and a packaged shirt on the counter, placed a folded up Nordstrom shopping back on top of the stack, and said, “are you all set?” I blinked and then started to awkwardly open the bag to place the boxes/items into it when she abruptly grabbed and moved the boxes to a counter around the corner and instructed me to continue packing up there. I had to rip the boxes open because they were too big to fit in the bag, and I used one of my keys on the strapping tape. Maybe a dedicated pickup lane would work better? I was made to feel as if I was getting in the way, even though I was a paying customer using a longstanding service.
