INTRODUCTION
Our Strategy
At Nordstrom, our vendor/supplier/manufacturers relationships have always been a very valuable part of
our business. We are dedicated to ensuring that our supplier standards are in conformity with those of
the retail industry as a whole. We support Industry-wide technologies that utilize Universal Product Code
(UPC), Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), Voluntary Inter-Industry Commerce Standards (VICS), and
GS1 US standards.
The use of these technologies speeds the flow of merchandise through the supply chain, facilitating a
rapid transfer of goods from our partners to our customers. This, in turn, allows Nordstrom to continue to
build a more successful and mutually profitable partnership with our suppliers.
Nordstrom expects its suppliers to package their merchandise to endure the normal handling and
movement experienced in transit. Due to our wide and varied product offering, it is difficult to provide
packaging recommendations that will be universal for all suppliers. Each supplier is responsible for the
quality of packaging. Suppliers that are identified as having poor packaging will be solely responsible for
all damages, concealed shortages, and claims.
Nordstrom advocates procedures that impose a minimal impact on the environment and encourages
its suppliers to use environmentally preferable packaging materials.
Any additional questions or clarification needed please contact NPGcompliance@nordstrom.com.
Instructions for Nordstrom Direct orders are included in this manual. These instructions are meant
to enhance or, in some cases, replace the instructions contained within each section.

Store-Pack POs
When a PO is written as store-packed (indicated "STORE" in the REF*PGC segment of the PO) this
means that the supplier is required to pack the shipment by store shipped to the specified DC(s) in the
PO. Store-packed shipments should be packed and marked by store.
The ASN requirement for store-pack shipments is that there is one ASN for each ship- to location (DC)
that the shipment is being sent to. Standard ASN requirements still apply - there must be one ASN per
shipment per ship-to location (DC) per day with a unique sub-bill of lading number in the REF*BM
segment of the ASN data. In the case of store-packed shipments, the presence of a "mark-for" segment is
required - this is the segment where the store number is entered for each case.
