When are Nordstrom’s holiday shipping cutoffs?

While Nordstrom hasn’t officially announced its 2025 holiday shipping cutoffs, it’s better to shop ASAP to avoid any delivery mishaps. Keep reading for more information on the retailer’s shipping (and pick up) options to ensure all of your gifts get to loved ones by Christmas.

Does Nordstrom offer free shipping?

Yes, Nordstrom offers free shipping for almost everything on its site to anywhere in the United States, including Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. Not every retailer treats its shoppers to free shipping all the time, but Nordstrom does! Just be sure to check the product page or your cart for the estimated delivery date to ensure prompt arrival.

Does Nordstrom offer expedited shipping?

Like most brands and retailers, Nordstrom has options if you’re shopping in a pinch. Pick between two business days for $12 and next business day for $20. And remember to check its shipping page for important expedited shipping deadline and arrival information.

How does Nordstrom’s buy online and pick up in store option work?

To set your store on a search results page, you’ll want to look for “Free Pickup” in your filter options when you’re browsing a specific category or search results page. Select your location and enter your zip code to choose which Nordstrom store you’d like to pick up your order from. Also, make sure to hit “Pick Up Today” to shop a single store’s selection or “Pick Up Tomorrow” to shop a wider selection in your area and you’ll get your purchase at your preferred store the next day.

To select your store on a product details page, hit “Free Pickup” and choose a store near you. Keep an eye out for “Pick Up Today” and “Pick Up Tomorrow” options when you’re picking the item’s size.

In case you missed it, Nordstrom additionally offers a pick up in store or curbside option at certain stores. Your Nordstrom app will notify you when your order is ready to be picked up from the store. Remember to bring your personal identification, since you might be asked for it. You have five days to pick up your purchase, so don’t dilly-dally.

An extra note for the buy online and pick up in store option: Nordstrom has free gift boxes, fabric gift bags for an extra $5, and free printed gift messages when you pick up your order at store. Just be sure to select gift options when you check out (some items, though, might not be eligible for this).

Now that we’ve gone through all the fine print, it’s time for the exciting part: shopping. Below, browse a ton of thoughtful, classic, and unique gift ideas that you can buy at the last minute and will arrive by Christmastime.
