    What were you referencing when you wrote this article? There are policies listed online at Nordstrom & Rack that contradict your statements. Namely- that you can return Nordstrom items to Rack and vice versa. I just want to confirm that your info isnt inaccurate, but just a “secret” that they don’t publish...

    I have a bag I purchased 4 days ago at Rack- changed my mind, and want to return. But I only have 2 care tags- no price tag! I thought maybe Nordstrom would be more accommodating than Rack, if I returned there. I have the receipt and hang tag- just the price tag with SKU is missing. Am I out of luck??
