Cynthia W: The shipping is a flat fee of $5.00 per order. If you receive a damaged item, please contact us, and you will need to send the broken item back to us, and we can send out a replacement.
Tayliah: ok...another question...sorry. can shipped items be returned to an actual store for a refund or do they have to be shipped back?
Cynthia W: Yes, you may return items purchased online to any department at any of our Nordstrom stores. Please be sure to bring your packing slip with you.
Tayliah: i had another questions... how is it that you have parrot and that shadow has been discontinued by mac for a while now?? are they re-releasing it?
Cynthia W: I apologize, I do not know. You will want to contact our Beauty Department for further information at 1.800.7BEAUTY.
Tayliah: one more question
Tayliah: how long does it take to find out if i will be able to receive the items i ordered?
Cynthia W: As soon as the order has processed, and entered the warehouse, we will be able to know if you will receive the item. I am sorry for any confusion.
