TJ Maxx

I mean it’s a chain so there’s not much to say. Their selection is as good as any other TJ Maxx. They always have enough cashiers so that’s good. Nice and clean inside. Pretty big.

The staff here is amazing! I recently went to the store to return a pair of boots for a client of mine who misread the size. My client had removed all tags and had no receipt for the shoes. This client is low income and was given a gift card in order to purchase the boots. With no proof that the boots actually came from TJ Maxx, I was not expecting a lot of help but decided to try anyway. The manager of the store was so patient and listened to the whole story of what had happened. She searched the store high and low for similar boots and ended up giving me another gift card for the value of the boots. Because of this manager, my client will be able to purchase winter boots that she desperately needs. The manager could have very easily dismissed this situation and claimed there was nothing that could be done. Instead she went out of her way to solve the problem and help a Brookline senior stay warm this winter. Bravo to TJ Maxx for staffing such an incredible manager and person!

I used to love to shop at TJ Maxx. Not just the one in Allston– TJ Maxx in general. I shopped at the one near the Bradford/​Haverhill area, the Rowley area, and the one near Downtown Crossing.
Now I come here for the bags only, because the womenswear area has disappointed me. Some clothes were already ripping and/​or falling apart when I was browsing through, and as a person who loves clothes, I find this unacceptable.

Best selection I have ever seen at at TJ Maxx for menswear. Used to dealin with a very limited selection, but was able to find all I needed and some at this one!

I come here on a regular basis — so at least 1x a week — mainly because they’re so close to me about a mile walk. They always have new stuff. They’re also really great at accepting returns which unfortunately I do a lot of since I usually too lazy to try stuff on in the store. Or I shop for my husband and have to return things that don’t fit him or he doesn’t like.

I’m pretty much hit or miss here. And with the seasonal transition sometimes I don’t bother with the eclectic selection of clothing.

Love the rotating merchandise. Great deals. Husband hates that it is on my route home. :)

good selection not too crowded

I have great luck at this store in the home goods/​furnishings, health and beauty, small home décor, gourmet food, stationery, kitchen ware, and bath areas. I would say basically every section, other than the clothing and shoe departments have always held something of use for me. The interesting thing is, I can always find something of good quality that I am not necessarily looking for, but can use, and to me, that is a good place to shop. Some things I have found here include a Kate Spade blanket, several Jonathan Adler stationery items, European copper cookware, Portugese and Turkish made towels, a CHI blow dryer, lots of gourmet shop items that would cost almost twice as much as the TJ Maxx price and really nice looking gift wrap for a fraction of the price one would pay at Paper Source.
I do wish T J Maxx carried a better selection of clothing and shoes. If you are looking for some home accessories, do try this place! It’s a quick walk to Coolidge Corner and the C line, just a stone’s throw from the B line, and a nanosecond from the 66 bus line!

The racks have a lot of clothing on them to sort through, but its pretty well organized. It’s not the largest TJ Max out there, but its big enough to have a little bit of everything. The home goods section is solid as well and there were tons of employees for checkout which made it very quick.

This TJ Maxx blows. I’ve gone here so many times hoping to find something I need at the time only to be greatly disappointed. The selection here is horrible and on the rare case that I find something worthy if trying on, the customer service employees in the dressing room are rude. I would rather go downtown then check out this place so close to my apt

I don’t think the layout of apparel is as good as other TJ Maxx stores that I have been to, but I thought their selection of kitchen merchandise was good. I saw a few Lodge and Le Creuset items for prices lower than what is offered at Amazon.
One weird thing I encountered on my visit about two weeks ago was a woman with a dog. She didn’t appear to be in need nor did I think this was a service dog. Are customers allowed to wander stores with pets now?

Had the worst time here today. Tried to make a return. Was told the unworn shirt I had tried to return was «worn.» Even though the tags were on it including the giant sticker tag that said the size on the front of the shirt. When I tried to explain that it was never worn, I got rolled eyes from the manager, Paulette L. When I tried to speak to Paulette I got called «cheap» because I was exchanging a $ 10 shirt for a size that would fit… Not to mention I will be contacting the GM to tell the ENTIRE story of my visit mostly because I don’t want to explain the entire thing to Unilocal.Extremely rude. Also, the girl who runs the fitting room, who is always there, was very rude when I was bringing my clothes out.
I understand it is the holidays. I understand that many people who come to that store probably act like jerks. I’m not a jerk though and I was trying to make them understand that I had a basic return. Now I have to travel to another tj maxx to return my shirt. All because Paulette was on a power trip.

I never actually got into the store, but I had a trip to the store all planned out. Alas, as I headed in I realized that I needed cat litter too, and decided to stop at Petco first. Apparently this was a grave mistake, as I came out to my car getting towed. I tried to explain that my original destination was, indeed, TJ Maxx… but to no avail. As I scrambled to get funds from the various (broken) ATMs in the area, I realized that I was done with TJ Maxx, not just for today, but forever. Thank you for towing my vehicle because I unthinkingly made the decision to grab something from the store 50 ft from you first, and thank you to the employee who found my mistake so amusing. Never again, TJ Maxx. Screw you.

Organization is definitely an issue in the clothes department. I always pass by dresses torn or dirtied and question why they’re even out for sale with full sticker price. Some clothes are still bizarrely priced. It’s really a hit or miss here looking for clothes. Shoes here are basically a miss… I still find most of them bizarrely priced as well given that this is supposed to be a bargain store. Do I want to buy a pair of shoes $ 50+ here? No thank you.
Decent variety of hand bags arranged according to color. Plethora of scarves, socks, and tights. I really only come here if I’m looking for bargain kitchen ware or am in the serious mood of killing time.
Black Friday – I’ve never seen TJ Maxx SO stocked ever.
They should spray the shoes area with scented perfume… it reeks of rubber/​machinery.
Their dressing rooms are really nice. Spacious and each stall has its own big mirror that is brightly lit. Your only chance to pose confidently like a runway model in there!

You have to search for your size and they won’t always have everything in every size… so you have to get lucky. But there are amazing bargains here.

What I like most:
#1 — Dog stuff
#2 — Miscellaneous
#3 — Clothes and Shoes
Tip for clothes: don’t expect anything or look for specific things, if you find something it will be a bonus. From my personal experience, it is possible to find really good things: like old designer collections for a reasonable price.

Tj maxx’s in general are great when you are looking for some famous name items at a discount price. This location is convenient, right off the 66 bus and well-​stocked. I often see way more things then i can afford and get overwhelmed. But, a lot of things tend to not be the right size for me. that is fairly typical of stores like this though. Everything in here is pretty well organized, clean store and enough cashiers so the line moves fast. much easier to get to then the one in downtown crossing, so i usually check here first.

I love this TJ Maxx. While the racks are crowded, they have awesome stuff, its easy to get to, and they always have what I need… new strainer, soap, dog stuff, notecards, etc. Everytime I am in the neighborhood I pop in…
my only complaint is that the checkout lines are long…

Avoid this store at all costs. Do not come here under any circumstances.
Today I left with:
— Marc Jacobs top $ 25.00
–Vertigo Paris dress $ 19.99
–Anne Taintor ID case $ 3.99
–White Dolce and Gabbanas stilettos $ 69.00
–Elle Macperson bra $ 7.00
This is one of the best TJs. The staff is nice, the store is clean, the aisles are wide, half of the people here speak Russian, the kids are well behaved and they do not run around like crazy. I feel right at home.
