TJ Maxx

Meh is how I feel in general about places that are clutter-​filled and disorganized. I 99.9% of the time don’t visit places like this because, now I may be slightly exaggerating here but nonetheless, feel anxious. Clothes strewn around, nothing in its proper place (like x-​larges all up in the small section), and no one to assist you if-​gasp-​you need assistance in a clothing store. Then I just get frustrated. I noticed a small speck of a hole in my black tights I wore to the office today and, since I was already shopping at TJ’s (the better one TJ-​as in Trader Joes), and I still had about 30 minutes left on my hour lunch, I decided to pop in here to see if I could find a replacement pair. Well, the first issue was parking. I won’t comment on the snow situation but, you could tell in general, this is a small, small parking lot, and because it is shared amongst many popular businesses, well, best of luck to ya! I did end up finding a pair of black tights but I had one option-​one brand and that’s it. Not that black is anything special but at least offer choice A and choice B. Then, once I made my way up to the line, I nearly put back the tights and walked out. This line looked like it was a Saturday, not a Thursday around 1:30-at least 10 people in front of me even though there were 4 registers going. I made the decision that I had already come this far so I should just suck it up and claim my spot in line. Once I was in the line, it actually moved at a decent pace. I waited maybe 7 minutes total in a line that looked like I’d be late returning to the office. points for getting me through the line quickly and that was about the best thing I can say about this experience.

I can always find great quality items at a great discount price.
I specifically go to TJ Maxx for the workout gear. Running/​workout tights, jog bras, tops with moisture-​wicking fabric, athletic jackets, etc. Great prices, high quality that will last. You can’t beat that.
They also have great handbags, accessories, home wear, dishes, pots, pans, things for the kitchen. They have everything, even furniture.
Customer service interaction is very low. Everything is stocked on the floor and you help yourself. You only interact with staff either when you’re paying or if you need a refund. Again, very little interaction. But that is ok. This is the sort of place you just look around and discover what you’re looking for.

All in all, a mediocre TJ Maxx location. I stop in if I am in the area, but I don’t go out of my way to visit this location.
Small store = smaller selection. And, like all TJM, it’s a bit of a mess.
Also, for whatever reason, the lines are slow, no matter how many people are in line. So. Three stars might be generous. But it has decent clearance sections sometimes.
The Fairfax Marshalls is a much more happening store.

I love TJ Maxx, Marshall’s, and Homegoods. However, this TJ Maxx leaves something to be desired. It is a smaller store and has a smaller selection. I was also underwhelmed when I was browsing for an oil/​vinegar bottle and found that the tops had all been stolen. Of the other TJX stores in the area, this is probably the least exciting in terms of selection.

Out of all the Tj Maxx stores ive been to, this is the worst. It never has anything, I can’t even say how many times I’ve left empty handed. It’s convenience is nice, but it’s not my store of choice.

I am a fan of T.J. Maxx. The store is clean and well maintained. I am most successful at TJ Maxx when I enter without an agenda — a clean slate mind understanding that I will need to paw through the racks. Sometimes I find great deals and hidden gems e.g., Michael Kors and Calvin Klein dresses and slacks, Ivanka Trump sandals — on clearance and other times I leave empty handed. I’m a shoe girl and I can typically find great deals on super nice shoes — normally I like their selection.
It’s a discount store so if you are looking for Nordstrom’s level customer service then you probably shouldn’t bother.

I walked in hoping to find an active wear and maybe a pair of exercising shoes. I soon discovered there’s not much selection in the active wear to choose from so I picked out what I could find and dragged myself to the fitting room. The fitting room itself is pretty clean and organized but the mirror has terrible lighting on each side which makes it difficult to look at your own reflection. I just hope the pants I ended up buying are truly as cute as I thought they are when I looked in the store’s mirror. I guess I’ll find out!
I gave it two starts for the service and organization, as far as everything else… I’m not too impressed. This is my first and last experience.

Love this place cause we can get a Special Cooking Oil here and at a very low price !!

tj maxx is always fun, just come after you’ve had a large coffee & a filling snack~ otherwise you could turn agro w/​all these neurotic women shuffling around you… like all these tj stores/​marshalls~ you just have to be patient & scan the aisles for cool patterns that stick out. that’s my trick anyways. i cannot stand looking thru every single hanger. i do the ‘quick scan’ w/​my magic eyes :)

:2.5 STARS:
My least favorite TJ Maxx location. This location, like the others, is often messy, understaffed, has become pricier than it once was, and some employees don’t appear to be too happy. However, we’re not at Nordstrom… and I ALWAYS keep that in mind. Nevertheless, this location loses half a star for their tight parking lot situation. I always feel as if I am going to get hit backing in or out of a spot.

I went in this store today against my better judgement. All I needed were socks. After I was surprised at the selection, I got about 5 packs of trouser socks and proceeded to the checkout. I have never been in the store, so I didn’t realize I was in the returns line. The «NICE» lady at the checkout (who stared at me as she moved at the speed of sound) could have told me I was in the wrong line. I stood there for about 5 minutes and the real line now had 10 people in it. A customer actually told me I was in the wrong line. As I got in line, the lady in front of me went to find the manager to get some help, since the Employee of the Month was the only person checking people out. It wasn’t until the checker heard the lady leave did she call of help.
Like I said, it was against my better judgement going in and I will never go back.

I was here today. They just got a shipment of Calvin Klein dresses! I got one for $ 29 and another for $ 46, both originally around $ 200. They didn’t have very many purses to look through, but there’s a lot of trendy luggage. There is tons of jewelry. They have those sideway crosses Taylor from Rachel Zoe would wear. I was impressed with their watch collection. Check it out especially if you’re on the lookout for a white watch. You’ll definitely need patience if you’re looking for home items. I don’t have the patience for it, but they’ve got tons of stuff. I think it’s a great TJ Maxx. I definitely prefer it to the one in Alexandria. I know there’s another one in Fairfax, but I haven’t been to that one in a while so I don’t have comments for comparison. Happy shopping! If you’ve never been to the complex before, in walking distance there’s a Starbucks. If you want to grab a bite to eat before/​after, there’s a bagel spot, kabab place, pizza, chinese food and a pasta spot next door.

Even with the remodeling, the location still has issues with staff scheduling, customer service and being conscious of the policies of the chain. Disappointing.

This is an excellent location of TJ Maxx. If you have the time and patience to spare, it’s worth making a trip to make your way through the store because they have a ton of great things!
I came last Friday just to browse, and noticed that they had an excellent selection of coats and jackets. I ended up walking out with a super cute jacket that’s perfect for fall weather. They even had a good selection of leather jackets which seem to be the trend this year and last. This location in particular always has a really good selection of items.
When I was here in June, I picked up a Polo Ralph Lauren swimsuit for like, $ 25. The same exact one I had tried on a year ago in a Dillard’s store, but it was a lot more expensive. You’d be surprised with the things you can find here.

Don’t know what it is, maybe it’s just me, but I really love browsing TJ Maxx. You can really find some useful stuff in this place, sometimes cute stuff, other times not so cute stuff. By cute stuff, I mean bags, shoes, décor, furniture, kitchen tools… which I have no reason to purchase but if I ever had to, I would. I did however find books for cheap and an exercise ball. Other than the cheapness, I love the randomness — it’s the only time I ever try on those large, fancy, frou frou hats and make faces for fun.
