Does Nordstrom price match, when is the Nordstrom anniversary sale, and is Nordstrom Rack legit?
Did you know that you can find many of the same items that are available at Nordstrom on italist, for way less than retail? Read on for examples!
italist is U.S.-based, but rooted in close relationships with the best independent Italian luxury boutiques, along with many Italian team members.
Additionally, italist offers free express shipping on every order, a broad catalog of over 1,500 brands, a strong social media following, and two-way communication with all our shoppers, even when there’s a problem.
italist sells only new, unused merchandise, and verifies its product sourcing with strict contractual agreements and individual invoices that prove the authenticity of any single item. Any item listed on italist is backed by a contract and an invoice with the brand.
Does Nordstrom price match?
Nordstrom does price match, but only under certain conditions.
Nordstrom does not price match on items from outlet, flash sale, auction, club, or regional and non-U.S.-based retailers, as well as marketplace prices from third-party sellers.
When is the Nordstrom anniversary sale?
Nordstrom, like most traditional retailers, has a twice-yearly seasonal sale, typically around the end of the year and holiday season, and during the summer season.
italist has some of the best pricing anywhere online for popular brands like Prada, Bottega Veneta, and Versace, and runs discounts year round. You’ll save up to 40% before discounts, and as much as 80% during sales.
Is Nordstrom Rack legit?
We can’t answer the question is Nordstrom Rack legit, but Rack is Nordstrom’s discount/outlet chain and has a 2.5/5 rating on Sitejabber and a 1.6/5 rating on Trustpilot.
italist is legit and has been since 2014, operating from offices in Los Angeles and with extensive documentation of its legitimacy, including a 50-point partner checklist and good standing with the Better Business Bureau of Los Angeles.
Is Nordstrom a good deal?
Nordstrom follows each brand’s suggested price for the U.S. market, so the prices at Nordstrom are typically the same as you’ll find on brands’ own websites.
italist, on the other hand, sells at the Italian price, which is lower than anywhere else in the world for high-end and designer luxury goods.
For example, as of this publishing, Bottega Veneta’s Mini Jodie handbag is listed for $2,650 on Nordstrom and Bottega Veneta.
On italist, the same bag is listed for $2,230, a nearly $420 savings vs. full retail price.
Another example is Prada’s Downtown sneakers: $1,250 full price, $1,015 on italist, a savings of $235.
Those items aren’t on sale on italist (yet), so that is just the “full price” savings. See below for additional examples of great deals on italist for sale items:
