TJ Maxx

I legit can’t actually complain about these guys-​I mean, it’s TJMAXX for Christ sake. Great inventory, relatively clean and organized. However their service is really a hit or miss but then again I would probably hate my entire life if I worked there because I would constantly be broke from spending my entire paycheck at that store.
Usually when I come here, it’s like Target-​I can’t just not buy anything it’s always something I’m walking out with. The only problem is I tend to go overboard ! What I like about it is they don’t give you a huge hassle about returns (I don’t try shit on just buy and return) but you do need the receipt because their computer system is super old school.
So super old school in fact that I didn’t have my credit card one day and asked if they could just charge it to the system. They said they couldn’t do it. Which is fine but that’s usually not an issue for me anywhere else sooooo meh it forced me to pay with debit. Better for me.
Reuben has helped me before and opened up my credit card. He was super nice and outgoing and I wish more of the employees were like him. I’ve had people straight up ignore me at the register.
Soooo all in all service is a hit or miss meh about their technology and wow for inventory and organization.

Like any discount retail store you can pick up some good deals, but like most discount retail stores you need to sift through a lot of merchandise to find the right items at a good price. Still I think stores like TJ Maxx are awesome because I refuse to pay $ 70 — $ 90 dollars for one dress shirt when you can get the same shirt and the same manufacturer for under $ 20. Granted the selection will be more limited, but you can still get good merchandise at an affordable price.
A couple of months ago I bought some neon colored Under armour shirts for $ 10. The same shirt across the street @ Sports Authority costs $ 35. It’s about knowing what you want and what you are willing to pay for it. I feel much better about spending $ 10 than $ 35 for the same item.

The worst place to shop, bad customer service
You spend an very long time to find what your looking for and
And then you turn around your shopping cart is gone
So I go to the front desk to see the manager
She is putting my stuff away after spending two hours to find what you want and then she can’t find what I had in my cart
She said I’m sorry can start shopping all over again
What a waist of time
Bad bad customer service
I spend over $ 400 a month there but never again
Poor management
Just lost a good customer

Horrible selection. The idea behind this kind of store is to save you time and money. Waste of both. Fashionista my behind.

This suburban T.J. Maxx actually has good selections on women’s sweaters, coats, wraps, and accessories. I was pleasantly surprised.
After visiting the tacky Carson’s Clearance Center next door, my opinion on the T.J. Maxx was slightly elevated. Really though, I need to stop going to those department stores’ clearance centers and start going to more T.J. Maxx locations religiously. I’ve never been disappointed in any T.J. Maxx, in terms of their inventories.
Yes, a T.J. Maxx can be messy and congested with children, moms, and human beings who just enjoy wondering around for no purposes, but that’s something lots of us can bear and still manage find something that we like or something that your significant others need.
At the end of each season, T.J. Maxx and Marshall’s tend to put some of the current-​season merchandize on clearance. If you’re one of those people who is very proud of not paying a full-​price on anything, I bet you will love stores like T.J. Maxx and Marshall’s. Make sure you’re a self-​sufficient shopper, because I really don’t see sales associates circulating around and thinking that providing an excellent «customer service» is their priority. They are busy to get tasks done, so I’m assuming that you can bother them… but I usually leave them alone.
Certainly you will see me at one of the T.J. Maxx and Marshall’s in the city and the nearby suburbs. I know I’m a Maxxinista!

4 stars because the have some interesting things here. I love the candles and can find Yankee Candles for a third of the retail cost. The customers are really terrible opening lotions, perfumes etc and using them like testers. Last time I was there I saw someone returning a used baking pan with baked on grime.

Gross. Was trying on clothes and dust bunnies were just everywhere. The lady with batting eyelashes with a thick layer of mascara could have been sweeping her area since they weren’t even busy. Blah. Not the store to go to. Anyways not a large selection to choose from.

One of the better in the Chicago area. Spotted brands Coach, Dooney, Sperry, etc today. Housewares has somewhat of a weird layout and the no men shoes is kind of weird. I was surprised at the cleanliness of the store however.

Tons of marked down merchandise. Great purses! You definitely have to sift through junk, but SCORE! Found great jeans last weekend $ 7. Must have time to waste to shop here. This store is cleaner than it used to be.

Awful, awful, awful.
Messy, dirty and the worst selection of merchandise EVER for a TJ Maxx. You will be so irritated shopping here your hair will come out in clumps and your left eyelid will twitch. Nothing is nice or arranged properly or even worth paying money for. The one cool thing you do find will either have a stain on it or be broken or ripped or have something missing on it. I’ve been to better thrift stores!
Spending a half-​hour in this store gives me a migraine. Save yourself the Excedrin and don’t come here!

They offer so much here and it’s very spread out, as well. Customer service is typical but it’s always for the great deals from houseware to decorations for the home to great women’s shoes (no shoes for guys — sorry) to belts and outerwear and other types of clothing.

This is my favorite T J Maxx location in the entire Chicago area. Its big, but not so big that it’s hard to get around. And everytime I go here, they have new stuff. You might have to search a bit, but there’s so much to be found here. And the customer service is great here too, which is always an added bonus.
