Canadians can shop at Nordstrom again, but there's a catch — here's everything you need to know
Missed shopping at Nordstrom? Here's everything you need to know about shipping, duties and more.
Nordstrom is back in Canada — well, kind of. Seventeen months after the mass exodus of Nordstrom stores and the dissolution of Nordstrom.ca, Canadian customers can once again shop online at Nordstrom — ask, believe, receive, am I right?
Nordstrom lovers will recall the luxury retailer wound down its Canadian operations in March 2023 following lacklustre earnings. Nordstrom.ca was shuttered, and the retailer's American domain, Nordstrom.com, halted shipping to Canadian customers. However, crossing our fingers and toes finally paid off because Canada is back on Nordstrom's international shipping list.

Do I have to pay for shipping?
Potentially — it depends on how much you spend. Free shipping to Canada is available with standard shipping on any qualifying purchase of $135 CAD or more before tax. If you want express shipping, you'll have to pay $25 on purchases of $135 or more (pre-tax).
Shipping costs and any applicable duties and taxes will be calculated and guaranteed by Borderfree, a global e-commerce provider, based on the items you are purchasing and your selected shipping method.
One more thing: When you place an international (Canadian) order, your transaction will be with Borderfree, but you can still access Nordstrom's customer service.
What else do I need to know about shipping? What about free returns?
Canadian orders are not eligible for:
Free returns
Merchandise exchanges
Gifts with purchase
Buy & save
Promotional codes
Gift services
Buy online, pick up in store
Nordy Club bonus points promotions
Price matching or price adjustments
To check the status of a Canadian order, you can look it up online through Borderfree.
Can I return something I bought from Nordstrom Canada?
Returns and exchanges made when Nordstrom Canada stores/ Nordstrom.ca was open will not be accepted. Nor will Nordstrom Canada gift cards.
Future international Nordstrom orders can be returned —but not exchanged. Original shipping fees are non-refundable and return shipping and handling fees will be deducted from your refund.

I was a Nordy Club Canada member; what about me?
Sorry Nordy Club Canada members, it's not good news. Nordy Club Canada and all accruals and benefits have been discontinued. This means that Nordstrom Notes or points earned under the Nordy Club Canada program will not be honoured.
Are there any shipping restrictions?
Yes, there are. For starters, the maximum order value for international shipment is $25,000 USD. Fine jewelry over $1,500 USD cannot be shipped internationally.
Additionally, Nordstrom gift cards cannot be sold or redeemed internationally at this time.
Gifts with purchases are not available for international shipping. Other products, including beauty items, hazardous materials, furs and exotic leathers, may also have international shipping restrictions. Canadian customers will be notified to remove restricted items during checkout.
