Can find good values but not the big discounts like there used to be years ago. But it's nice to have a Nordies close by without having to drive too far. Several clerks at the register who were helpful. Gets busy on the weekend best to come during the week or later in the evening around dinner time on the weekend. Store is laid out by designer so it can take longer to give stuff if you're not into labels. read more

Nordstrom Rack is always a good idea! There's plenty of parking, which makes it super convenient, and the staff inside are all helpful and friendly. The checkout lines move quickly, so it's an easy, stress-free shopping trip. They always have a great selection of styles, from casual to dressy, so it is easy to find something that fits exactly what I'm looking for. Plus, the deals are hard to beat, and I often end up discovering something I didn't even know I needed. I also love that it's easy to make returns here from Nordstrom.com, with a free in-store return for eligible items (some exceptions), which is especially convenient now that the Nordstrom in Escondido is closed. I frequent this location because it's accessible, well-organized, and I always leave happy with my purchases. It's one of my favorite spots for both browsing and snagging great finds. I'll definitely keep coming back! It's free to join the Nordy Club, no points at Rack, but you get seasonal discounts, a birthday perk, 5% off with a Nordstrom card, plus bonus coupons and early sale access. The early access is a game changer! read more

I placed an online order and unfortunately had some issues with it. 2 employees helped and then had to get management to help who was super kind and helpful. After getting my order I browsed the store and the store had so many options for holiday clothing and so many good shoe options. I appreciate the customer service the employees and management provided to help me get my online order. Adding the store had a good option of Hello Kitty items which was a plus! read more

Nordstrom Rack - Shoe Stores Near Me - San Marcos, California

Since the last time I shopped there, now they completely tie the shoe pairs together with an anti-theft device, preventing you from trying it on. How do they expect you to buy shoes you cannot try on!!!!! Their prices are also just as high as getting tennis shoes online. I am not sure if there is any savings in shipping there anymore. read more

The selection of clothing, jewelry, purses, belts, hats etc. is great! One of my favorite Nordstrom Rack stores! They are not all the same! Great value for very nice designer items and store is very clean and very organized. Love coming here to get a good value for the money! The staff is very cordial and always willing to help you with a smile on their face.....very good manager! read more

I bought some towels for my home and a friend. The price was great... On sale. I didn't have my credit card with me but the sales woman was super helpful and helped me successfully check out. read more

We stopped by to grab more shorts for my husband. There are rather long lines at Nordstrom Rack today. Found a Tommy Bahama and Penguin polo and two bluish colored shorts too. The woman that waited on us was very matter of fact and made sure we felt like just a transaction at the second register to the left of the counter. The woman next to her was so much more friendly and warm. We grabbed some face masks and mineral spray too during our trip. $176.03. read more

2025 downgrade. This place has really gone down hill. It used to be hit or miss, now it's just a miss. No men's shirts in small or even medium, just extra large, etc. shoes were underwhelming and still overpriced. Prices still aren't that low honestly. Long line at checkout and cashiers had no sense of priority. I ended up leaving empty handed on my last visit. read more

I used to come here quite a lot because I was able to find good stuff here. The customer service was also great. The cashiers were always helpful and friendly. Last time when I returned something, they put it back to my gift card and if it's less than $5, they would actually give you cash. I liked their selection. Bought some winter coats here with my bff before. I also got some tops and jeans as well when my husband won a $100 gift card from his previous workplace :D Some Yelpers mentioned long lines. Yes, it can get quite packed, because this is a popular place to find bargains. I think you'll just have to come here during off hours, or come when the shop just opens, that's always a good way to avoid long wait times. While people are still eating their breakfast or brunch, come shopping first and go grab a bite haha. read more

Stopped by to browse and found some jeans. When I went to checkout the cashier asked me, "Why buy so many? Don't you have jeans?" She is doing Nordstrom a disservice by discouraging sales. read more

I've found some great items here in the past, from NYDJ jeans, to shoes, to purses, to luggage to home goods. My favorite thing about them these days is that you can return items from online and in-store purchases from both Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack. I'm not good about mailing things back, but having the option to drop in and make returns while running errands makes life easier and results in more money back in my pocket and less brand new items on the donation pile. While visiting from my new home out of the state, I even packed a few items in my suitcase to return here because I'm that bad at returning things by mail! Hoping to get a Nordstrom Rack in my new home town someday! read more

This store in pretty good and I found some really good items. I noticed each cashiers had a tip jar on their station. It looks like a top hat to me. It's strange because it's a department store. It's very strange to me. read more

This Nordstrom Rack has really great items that I found with the right price. It's very convenient if looking for what you need and want. The only thing that I noticed is that the tip jars on cashier's area. I am kind of confused why there is a jar that looks like a tip jar. It's not a restaurant, or something. We get our items and pay for it and not being serviced by employees except for occasional question about where the items are. I have gone to all kinds of department store and I never see a tip jar. It's strange. read more

I placed an order online for in store pick up and waited for notification. Several days later I was notified my item was ready for pick up. When I got to the store I got into the line for pick ups and returns. I waited about 25 minutes for the line to move at all. There were about 8 people in front of me and by the time the line moved it was out the door and people had to wait outside. Everyone aside from me had a return and the two people working at the desk had two apparently difficult returns. No back up was called except for a manager to help with a difficult guest. There should be a separate line for pick ups because they are fast. All they did when I got to the counter was call someone to bring my order up and have me wait away from the desk while they helped the next person. When that person brought my item she scanned it and off I went. The rest of the experience in the store was fine. Dressing rooms are open again and felt safe. Found a few items to purchase and got in the regular line. It moved quickly, the clerk was friendly and the transaction easy. read more

Came here to find some work clothes and ended up finding a lot of options for yoga/pilates as well. The prices are reasonable and the selections seem to have increased a bit more through the years. The fitting room wasn't an issue, I was able to bring in 15 things to try on and hand most of them back. The fitting room was clean and I didn't feel like the previous customers decided to leave a bunch of clothes in the rooms, so that was nice. This was an issue a few years ago. I will say I'm not a big fan of the long lines to check out, but then again, you can tell they're short staffed and that's happening everywhere, so cut them some slack and come at a time when it isn't so hectic. read more

Horrible costumer service they won't take back in item I bought and I need to return. It was new, unused with tag and original bag. Purchased was made 3 months ago. I had known people returning even used items here. It depends on who is at the counter . read more

Today was the latest attempt to try this store to check out purses and earrings...I just have to say the utilitarian way the purses were displayed ..hanging from metal poles with cords attached so you can't even really examine the item...did not inspire me nor did the prices..too high for the average budget in my opinion .The costume jewelry was a mess. Necklaces all tangled up... several towers of earrings that look like leftovers from spring..just not appealing. I have always been overwhelmed by the amount of shoes and clothing..there were some nice coats and sweaters but again.. just round after round of clothes crammed together.. I guess if you don't mind spending hours combing through them to find something you like.. I think I'll just stick with shopping a store that's more organized and a bit smaller...plus I was never approached by any salesperson to ask if I needed help. Not impressed, Nordstrom! read more

Last time shopping here. Jolene in returns was so rude when I tried to return a pair of shoes. I did wear them once and had return shoes like that before. I was never aware about their policy of not being able to return something used because I had return shoes before at this very store. She was very rude and got loud and then printed the back of the receipt where she read policy in the lightest color letters. She then also made a remark about how they can't sell what i took back but then saw shoes that were in worst conditions than what i took back. I would have understood just fine if she didn't have to get loud. When I walked away after thanking her for the information she was laughing with co-workers. Unnecessary behavior. I also saw shoes that had been worn and they are there being sold. read more

Super sweet workers! I've stopped in a couple times this week and everyone is so friendly! This time a blonde lady helped me with my pick up order and she was amazing. Makes me want to shop here more! read more

Great finds but it's hit or miss. Takes some work digging through their vast selections but sometimes you'll find gold

I want to give this store a 5 but I just can't! The merchandise is becoming more like a Marahalls or Walmart. The racks look picked over and messy. The styles aren't Nordstrom quality and trends. And don't get me started on their customer service ! There are still come employees that care and are working hard but others don't have the Nordstrom passion or heart. Come on Nordstrom please pick up the care and value in your Rack stores - I want to support the business read more

Came in today to get few things. The store was packed with after Christmas crowds looking for sale items. I found what I was looking for with ease as the store was well organized. Although the line was long, it moved very quickly. Customer service was very good and the couple of them that I interacted with were very helpful. read more

Nordstrom Rack - Damaged sneaker - Shoe Stores Near Me - San Marcos, California

I just left the store. A young cashier named Elizabeth was extremely rude unbelievably nasty.

Quality of clothes at this location is not good. So I just come here to return stuff I buy online. Lines are really long most of the time. Customer service is not good. I got shortchanged and didn't get all my money back. Glad they're opening another Nordstrom Rack store in North County, hope it's better. read more

One of my wife's favorite stores, (I'm not a fan of shopping at all any way). The store is always pretty busy, the shoe department is messy with shoes all over the floor, the check out line is another hit or miss, usually it's long, definitely men's department is less then women's. I think women got a much better selections of cloth and shoes then men, which explains the majority of shoppers are women. One thing for me personally - Nordstrom Rack got the strongest Wi-Fi for my I-Pad so I can use it until my wife shops around. read more

Just here to update everyone on this current situation. It has now been almost 1 month since I placed a $100 order....that was "never created"... I've been trying to get REFUNDED for a month now. I've spoken to FIVE customer service reps that have not been able to process my refund. This is THEFT. Charged me but never mailed my order...claimed to have never even received my order...and now claim they can't find the CC transaction so they can't even refund me??? LOOK AT MY BANK STATEMENT! GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK. read more

Nordstrom Rack in San Marcos is awesome! Always a good selection, the store is organized & kept neat and the employees are helpful

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. read more

Nordstrom Rack - Shoe Stores Near Me - San Marcos, California

Always a deal to be found! Large selection at a great value. Good brands at fair price.

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! read more

Pretty good Nordstrom Rack location. (I've been to many in several states, and I've seen good and bad.) The selection of clothing is good, especially during big sales. I found an amazing dress for my engagement photos here and my husband found lots of dress shoes, including the ones he wore for our wedding, for a great price! Usually no limit to how many items you can bring into the dressing room which is amazing! Also, I've noticed that the employees here are especially nice and friendly, especially at the returns counter. You can return Nordstrom (main store) items here too btw! read more

Nifty store with lots of high end name brand items at discounted prices. Although, most items I can only afford in the clearance section, lol. You will need to dedicate some time here to scout out items. They have anywhere from men's apparel to women's apparel, to baby/kid apparel to make-up, accessories, jewelry, shoes and more. You can find good deals here when they do sales. They also have a rewards card program where you get 1 point for every dollar you spend but you need 2,000 points to get a $20 certificate. The sales associate explained that they sometimes offer double points on certain days, otherwise it would take a really long time for points to add up. I like that I can purchase items at Nordstrom and return at Nordstrom's Rack and vise versa. Friendly sales associates, large store with plenty of parking. read more

I was truly upset going to Nordstrom rack. I went last night to go shopping and when I was there I felt incredibly uncomfortable and felt harassed by the workers there. I went there being told it's a really nice store and instead I was being followed multiple times around the store my partner and friend was also being followed around the store. It's ultimately a horrible experience we couldn't shop too much because of how uncomfortable we felt and we even had employees in the front and in the dressing rooms watching us. The people working in the dressing room section were very unfriendly as we heard them talk about us and pointing us out for some reason plus they were also talking bad about their coworkers. People shouldn't feel this way especially if we are there to shop and I felt like they were stereotyping us I don't know because no one else was being treated that way or being followed throughout the whole store. Especially because they didn't come up to us and didn't ask us if we needed help they just kept following us and giving weird looks. read more

Prices are not that great and line of 25 people with 4 people at the register!? Registers should be fully staffed with that kind of line (which is always long). Especially during covid so people can get their stuff and leave. When I went to return my items the girl left out $130 pair of shoes! She had finalized the refund and something didn't feel right so before I put my cc in I asked her to count the items. She miscounted and I had to remind her she already put an item behind her. If I hadn't said anything they would have literally stolen $130 from me. Wow. The return system is fucked up. Scanning and rescanning multiple times. She had scanned them they just didn't register. Wasn't really her fault besides the fact she didn't check at the end. I wonder how many ppl have been taken for returns that looked like they were processed but never actually went back to their cards. Watch out people!! read more

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. read more
