Thanks for the feedback. I went to the one on Serramonte in Daily City instead. They had lots of designer stuff compared to the ones in Fremont and San Leandro but still couldn't find anything.

I ordered some things online from the CTR this past weekend.
I ordered a pair of Montelliana1965 hiking boots for a great price ($157) in my size- glad to get these but when they arrived, no box, just wrapped up in cellophane in a shipping box. Thats ok with me and probably most buyers but there used to be a day when shoes like this were considered "altered and refurbished" and were marked down to nothing at Rack. Now Nordstrom tries to maximize all the value out of this stuff.
Last year I bought an Eileen Fisher cashmere sweater from the main line store- same deal, no Eileen tags, just a Nordstrom small clearance tag. Back in the day, that would have been sent to Rack on deep discount.
I bought a Claire V bag which will be delivered tomorrow. If it doesn't have tags or a dustbag I will probably return it.

It depends. I would contact them for status because it’s been more than a week since you have placed an order. I hope that helps.
Really interesting article. I think to see what is really wrong at Nordstrom and Rack, you'd need to go back and look at both Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack holistically. I'll bet that in 2014, when Rack was doing well, Nordstrom full line was not doing as well and overloaded with inventory. Now that Nordstrom inventory is so tightly controlled, there is NOTHING for us at Rack.

Having said this, I still plan on visiting Rack at the next Jan CTR, usually they have some good deals after Christmas. But that's it.
Nordstrom is considering spinning off discount store Nordstrom Rack, a report says. Analysts describe it as a mess that's dragging the brand down and can't keep up with T.J. Maxx.
Nordstrom Rack is the off-price retail division of the luxury department store Nordstrom. It sells brands for discounts between 30% and 70%.

This thread really fell off. I lucked up on some designer transfers. I snagged a YSL Kaia Satchel for 600.00. There was a Chloe bag I picked up but the strap was missing. The shoes was mostly worn and refurbished small sizes. Boy I missed the good old days for designer transfers. 
Sorry for a second I thought I posted in the wrong thread. LOL!!!!

I was at the last chance store one time and it was messy (like your pics)
Did you get those at CTR for 25% off? The one good thing is the refurbished are red tag
Clear the rack was President holiday this was purchased after. The rack used to send designer transfers before a sale. I have purchased plenty of refurbished tagged items brand new with the original vendor tags attached and shoes and sneakers never worn. This bag was brand new with the plastic protector on the inside of the bag clasp and authenticity card. The Chloe bag I put back because the strap was missing and I prefer a matching set. The shoes this time was mostly worn and refurbished soles which I wouldn't purchase.
My purchases during the last Clear the Rack sale.
Bernardo sandals $20.99
Ted Baker London dress $61.85 (originally $285)
Joie sandals $20.99
Nike sneakers $24.17
Abound sneakers $16.85

Just found this thread! There is one memorable purchase back in 2017, from the end of winter items sales at Nordstrom Rack.
So memorable that I kept the receipt which is now fading..
Aquatalia Lena short boots in size 7 with the original box.. I have worn them but they were new when I bought.
The original was $450 but the clearance price was $90.
Then it was a red tag sale for extra 25% off from $90 = $67.5
Then, they were doing some promotion (sign up with email) and gave me extra 50% off and the final price was...
$33.75 !! A magic ! and the thing is that these are really good looking and comfortable boots!
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share this - now I can finally rest in peace/toss the receipt..

I always make copies of my receipts and staple the copy to the original and another copy with the merchandise. I mentally remembered the good sales and bargains of this thread and living vicariously through fonts finds. Now it's far and few that you will find anything worth while at the Rack. Once they dramatically raised the prices on the very old designer merchandise it was a turn off for me. Now I just randomly pop up not my usual everyday walk through.Just found this thread!
