UPDATE | 03/03/23 @ 3:36am EST: Nordstrom has updated their website and they’ve issued the following notice:

“To our Nordstrom Canada Customers:

While we’ve enjoyed serving you since 2014, and have built and have a fantastic team in Canada, we’re writing to share that we’ve made the tough decision to wind down our operations in Canada, close our 13 Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack stores and sunset Nordstrom.ca.* This means your shopping experience now looks different.

What this means for you:

  • Shopping our stores: For now, Nordstrom Canada stores will continue to operate in the normal course. Nordstrom Canada intends to commence a liquidation sale, subject to Court approval, later in March.
  • Shopping Nordstrom.ca: You are no longer able to shop online at Nordstrom.ca. Orders placed through Nordstrom.ca prior to March 2, 2023 will continue to be fulfilled by Nordstrom Canada. If you requested to pick up your Nordstrom.ca order in store, all orders must be picked up in accordance with the specified pickup window previously provided to you. If you have questions about your order or wish to track your order, please contact Nordstrom Canada Customer Care at 877.794.5304. You will no longer be able to track your order on Nordstrom.ca.
  • Returns and Exchanges: Returns and exchanges will continue to be accepted in accordance with Nordstrom Canada and Nordstrom Rack Canada’s return policies through to March 17, 2023. After March 17, 2023, all sales are final and returns and exchanges will no longer be permitted, whether merchandise was bought prior to or after the start of the liquidation process. Digital returns are no longer available as of March 2, 2023. Orders placed online prior to March 2, 2023 can be returned to your local store until close of business on March 17, 2023. After March 17, 2023, all sales are final and returns and exchanges will no longer be permitted.
  • Order tracking: You will no longer be able to track your order on Nordstrom.ca. Orders placed through Nordstrom.ca prior to March 2, 2023 will continue to be fulfilled by Nordstrom Canada. If you have questions about your order or wish to track your order, please contact Nordstrom Canada Customer Care at 877.794.5304.
  • Order pickup: New order curbside pickup will not be available after March 2. If you requested to pick up your Nordstrom.ca order in store, all orders must be picked up by March 17, 2023, or the item will be returned.
  • Gift Cards: Nordstrom Canada gift cards will continue to be honoured through to the end of the liquidation sale for in-store purchases only. No new gift cards can be purchased after March 2, 2023.
  • The Nordy Club: Nordy Club Canada members will cease to accrue new points, effective as of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on March 2, 2023. Points earned as of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time March 2, 2023 that have not automatically converted to Nordstrom Notes will automatically expire. Nordstrom Notes earned prior to March 2, 2023 will continue to be honoured in store in Canada only through to the end of the Liquidation Sale, provided that they have not otherwise expired under The Nordy Club Canada terms and conditions. No new Nordstrom Notes may be earned or issued from and after March 2, 2023.
    Access to your Nordy Club profile and account management information will cease at 11:59pm Eastern Time on March 2, 2023. You can still access your Nordstrom Notes via:

    • the email linked to your Nordy Club account,
    • by contacting Nordstrom Canada Customer Care at 877.794.5304, or
    • by visiting a Nordstrom Canada store.
  • Nordstrom credit card: The Visa Nordstrom Canada Credit Card Program will be wound down. Cardholders will receive separate communications from MBNA in this regard, including with respect to the accrual of Nordstrom rewards points. Cardholders remain responsible for all outstanding balances and should continue to pay their bills in the normal manner.

“During summer (a.k.a. really, really soon), plus right after Christmas, you can save up to 75% on select items. Yep—the rubber duckies are back, our shelves are loaded, our website is stocked and everything’s ready to go. Explore amazing deals, haul-worthy finds and surprises around every turn. Trust us: You don’t want to miss this fantastic event.”

When is Bath & Body Works’ Summer 2021 Semi-Annual Sale?

Save the date!

June 14, 2021
You heard it here first, at Glossense.com! 😀

 

Beginning Monday, June 14, 2021, you’ll have the opportunity to save up to 75% off Bath & Body Works’ selection of body care, hand soaps, candles, clearance items, and more!

The sale will be valid in-store and online, and will last about a month. But, don’t wait…

“With new deals and specials every day, these goodies fly off shelves and sell out online pretty fast.”

…All sales and offers will only remain while quantities last.

Online, you say? What’s up with that *quacking* Canadian website?

“A Canadian online store is on the way” – At least, that’s what we’ve all been assured for the last 6+ months.

So, when will the B&BW Canadian website launch? 

A set launch date is still under wraps – But! Rumours circulated earlier this year that Bath & Body Works’ Canadian website would launch this May – and I received a tip that it would launch July 2021. As the month of May is nearing its end, the latter is looking truer. One thing’s for sure: Bath & Body Works’ Canadian online store is coming soon – and hopefully within the next couple of months. 

Stay tuned to Glossense as greater details unfold. 😉
