The Best Strategy to Shop the Sale
If you are new to shopping Nordstrom, you’ll want to keep this in mind. Because the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is one of the most exciting sales of the year, it’s also one of the most popular. Fighting crowds at the mall can be tough, so here’s the best way to shop: online with in-store pickup. This lets you shop from the comfort of home, while still being able to pickup your items on the same day. Products sell out quickly, but you can sometimes snag a sold out item at your local store with in-store pickup. Here’s the best way to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.
- If you are a Nordstrom cardholder, mark your calendars for July 12th. If you are not a cardholder, you can start shopping July 20. Check this page for your guide to the best deals and my picks for my favorite styles. You can start shopping at 12:01 AM PST.
- While you are waiting for the sale to start, make a list of products you intend to buy. Note the item number too. I try to update the product links here as soon as they go live too.
- When the sale starts, head to Nordstrom.com cart and choose the In-Store Pickup as your shipping option during checkout.
- After your order is placed, you’ll get a text from Nordstrom when your order is ready for pickup. You can then head to your local store at your convenience and your items will be waiting. Some locations even offer curbside pick up where they bring it out to your car! It’s really the best way to shop.
- If you don’t have a Nordstrom location near you, don’t worry! Nordstrom offers free shipping and free returns on all orders. Click here to find the nearest Nordstrom location.

What is the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is probably the best sales among any retailer for the entire year. The sale is one of the only sales where you get deep discounts on new items for Fall 2018, which is very exciting. This sale isn’t the typical “clearance sale” where retailers liquidate last year’s or last season’s inventory. Nordstrom also has the half yearly sales, but the Nordstrom Anniversary is by far the biggest sale of the year. I think it’s even better than Black Friday.
This event has become legendary among Nordstrom customers who enjoy outstanding savings on the most exciting new fall merchandise, along with plenty of stuff for summer.
