TJ Maxx

Sunday I lost my spare set of keys. It had 2 car keys & one key fab. I still had keys to drive home as I brought the spare set by accident. When I went to putit away I noticed it was not in my purse. I tore apare my car & bedroom and they did not turn up. I decided to back track & call the 4 stores I went to on Sunday. The first place was TJ Maxx — they were having phone problems with a new line or system. I was on hold long periods & kept getting disconnected. After 10 minutes of this I decided to try the other 3 places. having no luck with the other 3 places I decided to try TJ Maxx again. Everbody was so very nice & apologetic. I dealt with 3 people who helped me get to someone who could check for me– had a couple more disconnect problems but I kept trying. Cora picked up & checked 2 places for me & I was so happy TJ Maxx had my keys!!. It would have been extremly expensive to replace the 2 keys & the fab. I rushed over to get them & again have to say the staff was very friendly & helpful! Thanks for hiring such great employees!

great jewelry

I always find great deals!

— - — - Mad TJ Maxx: Father’s Day Weekend– — - -
(Men’s Section Review)
Imagine your world turned upside down, where the male shopping experience and accessories becomes scarce. Where slim-​fitted dress shirts and black-​shirts that go with everything were remembered as «things to pick up on the way home».
All of that is gone now. This retail dystopia now imprisons us with chafing polos, fist-​sized designer logos, and assortments of dri-​fits ugly as sin.
I don’t shop with other guys; never needed to. I’m a survivor. ‘My world is of fire, blood, and slim-​fits’. Once I was a poor college student. A ‘B-​student’ warrior, searching for a righteous deal. As the plentiful men’s selections fell, we all became broken in some ways. There were only young boy outfits for school and older gentlemen outfits for home.
Nothing in between but lonely and exhausted husbands forsaken to the bench.
Maybe I’m going crazy, its hard to tell if its me or just this location. Being Father’s Day Weekend, ‘I am the one that runs both from the [last minute shoppers] and uninspiring restocks’.
‘What else can they take from me’?
Scavengers everywhere today… Be careful. ‘Do not, my friends, become addicted to the random t-​shirts on clearance’, they are all the same: crimes of fashion.
There was one thing I found in the Men’s section today. A spot to pray.
With the staff and service being friendly during this turbulent weekend, one hopes with better inventory would be a sign of redemption.
‘My world is of fire, blood and slim-​fits. I am haunted by those I could not protect from bad purchases. I exist in this retail wasteland, reduced to one instinct: survive’.
‘I shop, I sleep. I SHOP AGAIN!”

Hm. I really wanted to like this store, but it’s really underwhelming. Sometimes feels like TJ Minimum.
Before I jump to the blah parts, I do have to say that the reason this place is getting three stars is MY experience with the employees. They are always super friendly to me, from the dressing room, to the jewelry stand, and to the check-​out.
Onto the review of the merchandise: blah, blah, blah. Nothing ever jumps out here to me. In their defense, this place is kinda small, but still always seems kind of empty, particularly the home and women’s dresses. Not too thrilled with the shoes either, but I wear a 9.5, and nobody carries that strange size. First world problems, I suppose. :o/​
Anyway, I am not telling you to skip this place, but I am warning you to not expect an awesome shopping experience.
P.S: The Homegoods nearby is the same kind of story. Go down to south Austin for TJ Maxx and Homegoods.

The prices inside this store are what you’d find inside a mall… etc store which is not ‘new reselling items’. This might be a ‘neat’ store – but it’s still arranged like a zoo about to explode.
It took me forever to find what I wanted at a reasonably affordable price — supposedly their sticking point itself.
While browsing, I noted that the store was selling damaged items full/​almost full cost — instead of say, clearance. Not a cool business practice at all. Customers should know ahead of time if material is broken, and the item certainly should not be priced full-​price at all.
Fortunately, I don’t have to shop here and will not be back.

I love this place, one of the best TJ’s Ive been coming to for years. Awesome selection and its always pretty organized.

I wanted to return which I had my receipt and within 30 days, actually much less than that. They would not give me a credit. I spoke with the manager which was Shanda. She was absolutely is a poor manager and definitely had the lack of customer service. I have been a customer for so long very long time at least 20 + years.

Great location! Clean, organized, friendly staff. I love the layout – easy to navigate. Great selection of designer purses, clothes, and shoes. It never seems picked over or short of selection like some other locations. Dressing rooms are clean and they’re run efficiently as well.

I am a big fan of Home Goods, TJ Maxx, and Marshals. These retailers are all owned by Home Goods. I shop at these stores on a biweekly basis and none of these retailers offer a changing table. Really, get with the times and add a simple changing table in each of your retail stores.

There just is not better place in Austin to shop for designer clothes, bags, jewelry. I never walk out of this place without a full cart and I love high quality fashion.
Look at the tags… Sometimes their tag will say something like «Compare at $ 60, Our price $ 30» and you find the original store tag on it and it’s $ 300. I love that. They guesstimate with the original MSRP was. So I always bring my smartphone to see what the items really sell for. I just bought $ 600 leather boots for $ 25. I love me some TJ Maxx. You just won’t find a better deal anywhere.
And, as a chef, I can relay that you should not leave without visiting the cooking section. Major steals there as well and you can load up on gift items that will blow people away, at next to nothing prices.

I hit the jackpot here over the tax free weekend. My favorite find was Shiseido products for half the price. Amazing.

The clothing was well-​organized but not much variety in choices. The workers are really attentive and greet you multiple times while you are walking through the store. The location is pretty easy to spot and also has a good entrance and exit for such a small parking lot. The store itself is well-​lit and the prices are of course always good since they are TJMaxx!

Always a fun store to browse, sometimes you find something sometimes you don’t.

Stopped by here for my first visit after hitting up Nordstrom rack. Loved the shoe selection and actually found some nice shoes.
I liked some of the clothes but didn’t feel they had much of a discount for some of the clothes that were sold there. For 3 items bought, I spent almost $ 90. Where as when I went to Nordstrom I got 7 things for $ 100. I guess you just have to look carefully and you’ll find bargains if you’re close enough.
I think Nordstrom Rack is cleaner and the layout is more beautiful but TJ Maxx still has a good selection but most of it I’m pretty picky over. I’ll definitely price compare since I’m around this, NR, and Ross so I can afford to choose to shop for cheap! :)
Oh! Also, while I was shopping I kept hearing a voice broadcast some number for the check out cashiers which scared me. After I got in line, I figured out that this was to let you know which cashier you could go to next to check out. So now it’s not so scary, but I’m just warning you so you aren’t surprised like I was.
I liked the lady that checked me out too, she was awesome! We bonded over the shoes I bought. Maybe thats why I liked her…

** WARNING: THIS REVIEW IS HEATED [read at your own risk] **
I’ve been coming to this TJ Maxx location for over fourteen years. 14 years! I used to live in Northwest Austin so this was a regular stop-​over place on my way from work. In fact, it was exactly 3.1 miles from where I lived.
Fast forward 14 years, now that I’ve moved Southwest. I only stop by here when I happen to be «in the neighborhood» and I’ve managed to vanquish North-​bound Mopac traffic. Granted, a lot of us may LOVE TJ Maxx for a variety of bargains, but I ultimately judge a store on that and it’s management.
My biggest bone to pick with them is regarding my dog. I was at a friend’s place up North, and decided to do a quick drive-​by stop off here. I made sure Zico was out of the car in our 95 degree heat today, I tied him up to a trash can in a shaded area, and was planning on rushing in and out of TJ Maxx in 10 minutes to get a birthday gift for a friend.
Buuuuuuuuuttttttt, the moron assistant-​manager-​who-​thinks-​she-​owns-​the-​place there is so busy having employees on «theft watch» that the jewelry station goes completely unmanned for over 30 minutes. So, I call the store while inside the store and ask if someone can come by to the jewelry station and check me out to hurry things up. The call took 40 seconds. The wait, an additional 10 minutes.
Then, *and here’s the best part* I hear the same person I spoke to on the loud-​speaker announce… «will the owner of the brown dog please come to the front.»
Here’s the conversation when I walked up front:
TJ Maxx Bitchanista: «Ma’am your dog was barking at all my customers and he snapped at a child.»
Me: «My dog is in the shade, away from the door, on a leash and by the way, turtles snap, not dogs. He has never bitten anyone. It would also help if you actually had someone at the station I waited patiently at for over 30 minutes. I would have been in and out in 10 minutes.»
TJ Maxx Bitchanista: «The issue is that I don’t want to lose MY customers because there is a dog outside of the store.»
The long and short of it, that TJ Maxx Assistant Manager Bitchanista doesn’t realize that I thought I was doing the right thing by putting him in the shade far enough from the entryway to «HER» store.
Did Zico bark at passing customers. Yes, he did.
Did he aggressively attack anyone? No. (For God’s sake, he was on a damn leash).
Did he snap? [see turtle comment above]
So, miss TJ Maxx Assistant Manager bitch — next time you talk about «YOUR» customers, open a farking store under your name and even then, I’ll give you the hard facts through and through. Stop pretending that because you somewhat climbed the ladder of middle management, that they are YOUR customers. Because, I’m also one of YOUR customers and you done gone and pissed me right away from your location.
I spoke to the real manager that supervises Miss TJ Maxx Bitchinista and he said he would follow the protocol of operations in making sure his employees are sensitive to ALL their customers.
As for you miss Bitchanista; I have nothing but pity for you. I’m sorry you have to carry your personal life to work but you obviously need to fix things at home before you even address me regarding how I should handle things. You clearly can barely handle YOUR own customers.

WHERE IS YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE?
Good store, organized, clean etc…
But seriously, every single time I come here they are SO SLOW. Like ridiculously slow, where everyone in line is looking at each other groaning. Either work on your efficiency or get more people to check out during busy hours [hello, people are going to come right after work!!].
The check out lady was completely unaware of the line she was creating. The sent us to start a line somewhere else, which really had no point. Then as the lady in front of me was almost finished, the check out lady started talking about how she couldn’t see because she wasn’t wearing her glasses…5 mins goes by…
Finally when I get ready to go, I explain my situation– which didn’t matter because she didn’t understand, ten proceeded to work on untangling a cord instead of helping me and the other 5 people in line!
Seriously TJ Maxx people, you waste my time!

Save you IRAs and 401ks, I’m putting all my money in shoes. That’s right: shoes, and belts, and handbags. And this TJ Maxx helps me do all that and still actually save for retirement.
I went to this location today to see if they had a pair of shoes in my size that I saw at the south location. No dice, but they did have several other options that were not at the south location and I ended up getting three new pairs of shoes. Shoe-​score!
In addition to a great shoe selection, this location has lots of belts, hats, and handbags. I can usually get a designer leather belt here for about 12 bones, which my grandmother, who taught me accessories can change a whole outfit, would totally approve of. And I love the selection of other accessories (tights, socks, scarves) and beauty items (hair stuff, makeup, face stuff).
They also have a good selection of housewares and men’s items. I have a hard time digging through the clothing racks but for everything else, this TJ is tops.

Well, this is among the best of the TJ Maxx’s I’ve been to. Pretty much what to expect, if you’ve been to one, but with better variety and below normal prices, in my opinion. I felt this place’s prices were on par with Ross, while being better quality items.
I was especially impressed with their prices/​selection on kitchen wares, while disappointed by the pricing on shoes/​purses, and the selection of shower curtains.
I will however be back soon!

Nothing hurts my soul more than paying full price for clothes. I am spoiled to the absolute core by TJ Maxx. Why would I buy a dress «on sale» at a boutiqe for $ 120 when I could get a comparable dress that is flippin fantastic for life (FFFL) for $ 40? Example: TJM had a silk black Juicy dress (not a favored brand, fyi) for $ 50, originally priced something preposterous. The selection is awesome, and they even have a *clearance* section, where I once got a FFFL Free People shirt for $ 20. Now, the worst, least-​flattering lighting you will ever see is proudly featured in their dressing rooms, but you know deep down if the dress is working or not. You know if it’s not the lighting. You might bring in some tweezers though, because you can see every unwanted brow hair pretty clearly in here.
More often than not, I will have to part with a few items after we’ve made flirty eyes at each other. I have to put my foot down and commit to what I am going home with. As I turn to look over my shoulder at the clothes I left on the rack, I think of what might have been. Then I remember: I’ll be back next weekend, and console myself with all the future love connections there are to make.
