Does Nordstrom Ship Internationally? ESW Checkout, Canada Shipping and US Delivery Options

Nordstrom international shipping is available, but only to the countries listed in its country selector, and the orders are handled by a partner called ESW. When your country is on the list, you see a guaranteed total at checkout that already includes duties and taxes. When it isn’t, or the item is restricted, you’ll need a US address. Here’s how both routes work, what Canada orders cost, and what Nordstrom charges inside the US.

The short answer

Yes, to selected countries. On Nordstrom’s international orders page, you pick your country at the bottom of the site. If it’s listed, Nordstrom ships there through ESW, with duties, taxes and shipping included in the price you pay. Delivery takes roughly 5–13 business days for items in stock. International returns aren’t free. That’s how Nordstrom.com international shipping works for every listed country.

In the US, standard shipping is free on every order, with no minimum. That’s useful if you’d rather send items to a US address and forward them, which can make sense for restricted items, countries Nordstrom doesn’t serve, or when you’re combining Nordstrom with other US shops.

What is Nordstrom ESW?

ESW is a company that runs international checkouts for many US and European retailers. When you shop Nordstrom from a supported country, ESW shows prices in your currency, calculates duties and taxes, and arranges delivery. The total is guaranteed, so you shouldn’t get an extra customs bill on arrival. Your order confirmation and tracking may come from ESW rather than Nordstrom.

Which countries does Nordstrom ship to?

Nordstrom doesn’t publish a fixed list on its help page. Instead, the country selector at the bottom of nordstrom.com shows every country it currently serves. If yours isn’t there, Nordstrom can’t ship to you directly.

• Your country is in the selector: ESW checkout with local currency and duties included.
• Your country isn’t in the selector: No direct shipping; use a US address.
• Item marked as restricted for international: Can’t be sent through ESW; use a US address if it’s allowed to fly.
• US addresses, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico: Free standard shipping.

Does Nordstrom ship to Canada in 2026?

Yes, Nordstrom does ship to Canada in 2026. It closed its Canadian stores in 2023, but nordstrom.com ships to Canada through ESW. When we checked, Canadian orders had free standard shipping on qualifying purchases of CA$135 or more and express shipping for CA$25, with duties and taxes included in the checkout total. Check the current rates at checkout, as they change with promotions.

Does Nordstrom ship to the UK, Spain or Japan?

For Nordstrom international shipping to Spain, Japan or the UK, check the country selector. These are among the most searched countries for Nordstrom, and availability depends on what ESW supports at the time. If your country is listed, the ESW checkout is usually the simplest option for single items. If not, a US forwarding address works. UK import rules are on GOV.UK.

What about the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Australia?

The same applies: try the selector first. Where Nordstrom can’t deliver, our UAE, Saudi Arabia and Australia pages explain forwarding. Australian GST rules on imports are on the Australian Border Force site.

What countries is Nordstrom in?

Nordstrom’s stores are all in the United States now, after it left Canada. Its online shop is what reaches other countries.

Does Nordstrom have free shipping?

Yes, standard shipping within the US is free on all orders, with no threshold. Nordstrom Rack is a separate store with different rules.

How long does Nordstrom take to ship?

Standard US delivery usually takes a few business days, and items shipped from stores or partner brands can arrive separately. International ESW orders take about 5–13 business days. When forwarding, add our 4–5 working days of processing to the US transit time.

ESW checkout or a US address: which is better?

• Countries. Nordstrom ESW checkout: Only those in the selector. Nordstrom via Global Shopaholics: Worldwide.
• Duties and taxes. Nordstrom ESW checkout: Included and guaranteed at checkout. Nordstrom via Global Shopaholics: Paid on arrival.
• Restricted items. Nordstrom ESW checkout: Not available. Nordstrom via Global Shopaholics: Allowed if they can be shipped by air.
• Combine with other US stores. Nordstrom ESW checkout: No. Nordstrom via Global Shopaholics: Yes.
• Returns. Nordstrom ESW checkout: Not free, ship back internationally. Nordstrom via Global Shopaholics: We can return to Nordstrom in the US for $15.

For one or two items to a supported country, ESW is often simpler. Forwarding wins when you’re buying from several US shops, when Nordstrom won’t serve your country, or when you want the option of a cheap US return.
