SECTION 1 HANGER REQUIREMENTS
Nordstrom requires specific product types to be shipped on hangers. Hangers must be inserted into these products and shipped in cartons. Expense Offset Fees will be incurred if product received with hangers has size indictors, supplier logo/stickers, full foam covers, foam mini covers, loose foam, or fabric swatches. Questions regarding hanger requirements can be directed to the Nordstrom Floor Ready Department by emailing [email protected].
Additional Specifications • Use a combination of top and bottom hangers for all 2-piece coordinates/sets • Rubberized grippers required (style PGRAB) on some items to prevent damage or slippage (i.e. scoop neck tops, fine gauge knits, etc.) • Bottoms must be hung at the waist
Unacceptable Items • Size indicators and supplier logos/stickers on hangers • Full foam covers on top hangers or foam mini covers • Loose foam or fabric swatches on bottom hangers
Note: Hangers inserted into product where a hanger is not required, product received without a hanger when a hanger is required, product received under the Unacceptable Items list, or does not meet GS1 US standards (formerly VICS) where specified (see tables below) will incur an expense offset fee (Nordstrom does not provide pictures of non-compliance).
