Nordstrom Pre Select On Line (ETA how to order added at bottom)

FYI anyone who is wanting to shop the NAS pre-select online. I just went on Nordie's Live Help and asked if with the Nordstrom card, pre-select shopping was available on line July 11th or only in the stores. The staff person said that with the card, pre-select IS available online. Whoo hoo!

Now here's hoping my card arrives on time...

Oooh. I'm definitely checking out the watch selection that way. Thanks for the info, Shannon.

Thanks, Shannon. I plan to be very judicious this year about NAS, but hope to fill a couple of wardrobe holes.

Yep, I plan to get up an hour early on July 11 to peruse the NAS offerings!
The only drawback is that we will not have Angie's spectacular list to guide us
Here is to happy hunting to all of us!

Sveta -
That just means we'll shop twice - once on July 11 and again on the 20th :-). (Actually, I'm trying to hold off on the 11th as I have a preselect appointment on the 12th and want my fab saleswoman to get the commission.)

But I still plan to windowshop on the 11th to know what to look for!

Well, that's good because I am leaving again (for New York) on the 17th and will miss the sale entirely otherwise. Which may be a good thing!

Cool! Did she say how it works? Do you need a special log-on?

So far from the preview the only items I'm really jazzed about (the orange leather blazer and the black/white Rachel Roy pencil skirt) are way outta my budget. But i'm still hopeful.

Kari, I think they mail you a special log on with your catalog (but could be totally wrong about that - employees can't pre-shop so I've only heard about the procedure through the grapevine).

I'm feeling very sorry for myself because employees can't start shopping till 2pm on the day of the sale and typically the really good stuff is sold out and I just have to hope for someone to make a return!

You know, I'm a cardholder but I never got a catalog. Should I be worried?

Kari, I'd call customer service just to be sure!!

You know, she didn't say how it worked. Just that I would need to have my card in front of me and when I asked outright if I can shop the pre-sale starting July 11th online as in store is not possible for me, she said yes. Hmm....maybe I'll do a bit more checking...

So I contacted Nordstrom again via Live Chat to find out exactly how pre-sale purchases work if you are not going to a store.

You can either telephone their toll free number (for Canadians, we would call 888-282-6060), give your Nordstrom card number to them and proceed to place your order. Or you can go onto Live Chat through the Nordstrom website, give them your Nordstrom card number and place your order through your Live Chat assistant.

There is no code required - just your card number. For someone like me who has applied for a card but not physically received it yet, if I don't have it by July 11th, I can still go on Nordstrom Live Chat and tell them I don't have my card number with me and the assistant will check with the Credit Department and obtain my number and I can then place my order with the Live Chat assistant.

Hope this is helpful to you.

I went to the store a few days ago and signed up for a card specifically so I could preshop online. I won't have the physical card in hand till after the sale, but I intend to call the day before and make them walk me through the process. I believe there is some code (maybe card number) to enter to view the items - I assume if I don't have a card, I can't just browse to the early access url and have it work.

I also have an appointment to preselect on the evening of the 12th so I should be covered. I will try to report in immediately afterwards.

Sylvie - do you know if I have to charge my purchases to the Nordstrom card, or do I simply need to have one in order to do the pre-select but can charge my purchases to my Mastercard instead? I've discovered through Sveta's post just a minute ago how difficult it is for a Canadian to make payments to the Nordstrom card.

Sylvie

Veteran

Hehe, simultaneous postings. Marianna and I both responded on the other thread - but in case anyone else wanders by, during the preselection period, they only accept purchases on the Nordstrom card.

My understanding from internal communications is that there would be a pre-select code either mailed or emailed. If you don't receive the code, you can call CS and they will give it to you.

The online look-book goes live on the 9th.

Too funny! I just answered you on Sveta's thread Sylvie! Unfortunately for me, that's kinda stinks as I really don't want any more hassle than it already is. And I don't live anywhere near a Nordstrom so can't shop in store. Maybe NAS won't work out for me after all
