TJ Maxx

Overall TJ Maxx is a hit or miss place but it’s definitely on the cheaper side if you find something good. That’s why anyone goes there as well as selling branded items.
Anyways many of the associates I encountered when I went (June 5, 2016) were very friendly BUT one lucky woman stood out to me. She was a Filipino woman that I’m guessing is in her late 30s or early 40s.
Well my sister and I were trying some clothes, that didn’t really require going into the fitting room, so that’s when I noticed the woman in close proximity. At first I just thought she was putting clothes back, which she was slowly doing, but then it looked like she was watching us. I made eye contact with her several times and she didn’t look so happy and pretty much just eyed us out. Then I noticed again she was always near us slowly «working» for a good 10 – 15 minutes. We went to pay and I noticed she left! The nerve. Tried to find out her name but she was at he jewelry register. Wtf, yeah that’s convenient and not suspicious at all. Maybe she thought we were gonna steal or something but that’s terrible. I felt so uncomfortable. We should’ve just left and brought our business elsewhere. Better way to handle it if you ask me and was totally unprofessional.

Nice store but always takes forever to check out. 1 person working with long lines. They have to do better

Every time I visit TJ Maxx I need to say a quick prayer in the car. A prayer that I don’t shop til I drop and spend all of my money here.
It never fails. I came here for a yoga mat one day and walked out with $ 95 of unnecessary merchandise (and a yoga mat). The clothes here are hit or miss for me, but the housewares is where it’s at. They have high quality goods that may have a scratch or ding, or may be in perfect shape and were just in excess for discounted prices. A Cuisinart ceramic skillet was only $ 16.99! Their glasses and mugs are adorable, and they have a good amount of notebooks with cute sayings and phrases on them that I use for jotting down notes at work. Almost all of their notebooks and journals are under $ 8. Frames here are reasonable too. I scored two rustic wood frames (8×10) for $ 6.99!
If you’re a pet lover, stop by their pet aisle. Lots of cute bowls and mats for feeding time, play toys, and even treats! A cute scratching post for our furry friend was only $ 7.99! I would have bought it but he loves old cardboard boxes from our amazon orders just as much and those are free!
Now do you see why I bow my head in prayer??? I am a Maxx-​inista through and through.

I came to TJ Maxx after David’s Bridal was a complete dud for my mom’s «mother of the bride» dress.
I stumbled upon a very nice high arm chair while at this location (about $ 200, comparable to one I saw at Inspiration for $ 990), which I was going back on forth on buying due to me not having a truck to take it home – nor do I know anyone that has a truck. It was very nice quality and I really liked it. I was walking around the store some more and I came across a sign that indicated that there are delivery services at TJ Maxx and to inquire. I thought, YAY! I spoke with the first associate that said «its about $ 200 – 350 but it depends on the piece.» I was curious as to what it was, so I inquired and she spoke with a manager. The delivery was a flat rate of $ 109 and she told me to «get my money’s worth» she also told me that sometimes its cheaper and faster to get my own truck or to call someone I knew, which I appreciated because she was trying to save me money. As tempting as renting a truck was (Home Depot across the way does truck rentals!) my husband has a broken leg and I didn’t want to lug in everything by myself.
I found a dresser that was on sale, for $ 145 and figured I’d get my money’s worth – so I purchased that as well. I was very surprised at the quality of the pieces I purchased – I’m happy I didn’t settle for something cheap and that I hated.
I can’t wait until the items are delivered.

This store is convenient for me as I live in the area. I have been to other TJ Maxx stores and were impressed. This store is ok. The inventory isn’t that great… I see a lot of broken and damaged items not marked down… as they should be. If they won’t mark them down, they should be removed from the floor. Not a lot of selection for kids… that’s fine. They have a lot of home décor which can be useful; pet décor and supplies if you need it; shampoo, conditioner, soaps, lotions etc. Staff here isn’t very friendly.

By far one of my favorite TJ Maxx on the island; I highly recommend this one over Pearlridge’s location because one, there’s ample parking and two, it’s less crowded. I usually go once every week because I love looking for dog supplies or even decorations for the house. I almost always leave with something, and that’s great because you know they’re restocking with new items. They always keep up with new trends and the season. The aisles are much cleaner and tidier than Ross. The only thing I wish they had more inventory on is their footwear. I hardly ever find anything nice, and I wish they could step it up because I’m a big hoarder for shoes! The workers are friendly, and I’ve never ran into a rude one (knock on wood). Highly recommend!

Horrible availability of cashiers. Just left there at 11:08 am on 1÷14÷16. Only one cashier while 3 people waited in line. Apparently no other cashiers are not available??? Seriously? Asked the young lady to call for someone… got irritated. Left my things at the line. Called the store as soon as I left the store and asked to speak to Jane, the store manager. Was left on hold for 5 mins later someone finally checks on me. Again, they put me on hold for another 2 mins… AMAZING! By the time I drove from TJ MAXX back to work (a 10 min drive), the MGR Jane picks up the phone. Sad. They lost two patrons due to the lack of customer service. Sad.

Thank you to the customer who found my Gucci watch in the ladies restroom on the sink
On 9÷29÷2015
It was turned in to the store Manager Jean, and returned to me from store associate Aizylyn.
The watch is very sentimental to me.
This store is clean, organized, great location, and very honest employees.
Thank you, Jean and Aizylyn you are truly a great asset to this company.

I’ve avoided this location due being hassled about a $ 4.99 return without a receipt for a defective tape runner. Well, that and the customer service was severely lacking.
I was in the area and decided to see if there was anything good. I found a few cute clothing items as well as Halloween decorations.
The employees I did encounter were very pleasant and offered assistance.
Something still leaves a bad taste in my mouth about this place. Definitely won’t be driving out of my way to come here. I still would rather make a drive to Kapolei.
Update. Within a few minutes of typing this, I now remember what left that sour taste. On my last visit to the store when I was browsing the clothing aisles, this lady came out of nowhere, pushed right through me, and started flipping through the clothes rack. I thought she was a customer, but a few minutes later she asked if I was doing okay. I then realized she was an employee, and shortly after put my purchases back and made my exit.

I love shopping here for fitness, clothing and other girly stuff. The quality of the clothes is better than Ross’s and the price is still reasonable than going to Nordstrom or Macy’s.
I like how the organized the different sections than the Pearlridge location. Right when you enter, there is the bags, luggage, jewelry, shoes, skin and hair products on your right and on the left is the juniors, men’s women, and children’s clothes as well as bath and bedding. When you walk down straight into the store, you will come across the food, cooking, and dishes, and home decorations.
This store is conveniently located in Pearl City Gateway along with Cherry on Top, Longs, David Bridal, Petco, Sally beauty supply, La Tour, Babies R us, McDonalds, Supercuts, Subway, Ramen ya, Domino’s, Batteries and Bulbs (I could be wrong). There is Walmart and other food choices right across. There is plenty of parking stalls. They are some between Tj maxx and Longs near the longs’ drive in pharmacy pick up.
The customer associates seem glad whenever I don’t need a paper bag to carry my goods since they are trying to conserve and give for those customers with plenty of merchandise.

This place rocks! I am semi addicted to coming here. They have name brands like Under Armour and Nike as part of their vast athletic wear selection. I don’t think I’ve ever walked out of here empty handed. Good selection of lightweight luggage too, perfect for finding a lightweight carry on at a reasonable price to skip the baggage fees!

I love TJMaxx! Everything here is really cheap and most of it is all high end brands. I either come here for cheap hiking or regular clothes, and bags!
I love their fitness wear, they have a lot of high end brands on sale for dirt cheap! I bought a MK bag here. regular price was around $ 250, and it was on sale for $ 100. Everything else such as their home and other stuff are nice too.
I personally like this store a lot better than the pearlridge store just cause’ it feels a lot cleaner and spacier. The location isn’t as busy as pearlridge, and I feel like I can find more stuff here!

So I love shopping and getting great deals, I mean who doesn’t? Right? I like coming here to check what things I can get especially for house décor and clothing. This particular TJ max has pretty things but my overall problem with this chain store is that It still seems kind of expensive. It is a higher end store than Ross and they make it very clear because you can see it in their prices. Maybe I’m just being cheap :) I come here when I don’t find it as Ross and then see if I really really need it and if I don’t I end up not getting it. It’s an ok store to search for things you probably don’t need lol.

I wanted to like this small shop I really did. It’s convenient, close to walmart, lots of parking. Now I know why. Workers are non existing, cashiers are really slow… no line and still takes forever. Prices are higher than Ross which is to be expected but my biggest gripe is almost every top I bought here eventually has a hole in the material. Maybe they have moths? Who knows. I did find a $ 5 top this time around so I’ll be crossing my fingers that it won’t (grow) a hole. They need to look into lowering their prices!
I always shop TJ in the mainland and found many great deals. I have a feeling they will close down like Marshall’s…remember that place? Yup reminds me of there. Dead and empty feel.
Posting picture of the shirt I found.

After what feels like a tour of every TJ Maxx on Oahu, I walked into this location yesterday evening weary from sitting in traffic and I was instantly impressed. This store is everything all other TJ Maxx locations are not.
The store is well organized, with personable employees who greet you not only upon entering the store, but also take the time to speak with you while you are in the store wandering aimlessly around the store to see if they can point you in the right direction.
What impressed me the most was that the home décor section was even in perfect order, something that no store I’ve been to has managed to accomplish. While I wasn’t able to find anything I wanted, looking around was easy and I didn’t have to maneuver my way around broken items, or things that were strewn around haphazardly.
This TJ Maxx is a bit out of the way for me, but they are well stocked, well organized and have the nicest employees I’ve encountered. I’ll definitely be back.

If your in the area, or board and want to go shopping… the credit card is burning a hole in your wallet, and/​or you really need that shirt, pants, dress, shoes, etc. this is the place to visit. It is a discount retailer and it shows. Not bad… though not Nordstrom.

I love coming to TJ Maxx. It is a little more expensive than Ross but they have different/​better brands. I guess the stores are newer, so maybe they haven’t had time to get run down but I feel like a lot of the Ross stores aren’t kept up as well.
I love browsing through the racks of clothes, toys, housewares, etc. Like Ross, it is hit or miss if you will find your size in something you like, or have enough quantity of something you need (ex: curtains) but when you do, it’s always a good deal.
The staff is friendly and helpful and they seem to move the line to pay pretty efficiently.

Unilocal 100 Challenge #10/​100
I think today I’ve just converted to a maxxinista!
I’ve always had the impression that TJ is slightly more expensive than Ross. In some cases this is true, such as their shoe department, however, majority of their clothing items were the same, if not cheaper in price.
My most recent visit, I was on the hunt for new workout gear. Not only was this section easy to find but the options of workout wear were limitless! Unlike Ross, where clothing items are sparse depending on whether or not a new shipment came in, TJ is always stacked with a variety of clothing items.
This particular store was very clean, accompanied by a friendly staff and had everything I was looking for and then some. If you’re a TJ-​holic, like my mom and LOVE to shop here more than once a week, know every staff by name and even where the slightly shaded stalls are, I suggest opening a credit card account with TJ and take advantage of receiving 10% off every purchase. Think about it!
HAPPY SHOPPING!

The Devil Wears Prada… NOT TJ Max.
In recent months, my quest to find affordable (cheap!) items has led me to this location.
LIKE:
Plentiful parking: Though it’s located in a complex with other shops, the parking area fronting the store is spacious.
Great selection and variety of products: From iPhone cases, to luggage, clothing, shoes, food items, home décor, plates, glasses, and toys, there is much to choose from.
Helpful and friendly staff.
Love the location: next door to Longs Drugs and across the street from Walmart, while Home Depot is located down the road.
NOTE: Some items I have found/​bought include an iPhone case, iPhone cables (for charging purposes), multi – pack of socks, dress shirt, and a brown belt. The sections in the store are clearly divided and appropriate signage posted… i.e. Men, Women, etc.
BOTTOM LINE: The Devil should consider wearing TJ Maxx, its definitely more affordable than Prada.

I absolutely LOVE TjMaxx. The variety of products that they offer for people my age are excellent. Even their children, men, and older women selection are better than Ross sometimes. The prices are more expensive than Ross, but are still very affordable. Especially how they offer name brand products for a discounted price, gosh, you can’t go wrong!
I shopped here last night and found me the CUTEST pair of Michael Kors sandals. I’ve been looking everywhere for comfortable black shoes that I can wear to work. They were $ 70 and the price itself made me cringe, but I couldn’t pass it up. I also bought myself a pair of shorts, a work top, and three dresses. My total came out to $ 195 and I have to slap myself for it and blame my best friend for taking me there, but I couldn’t be happier!
This store is dangerous. I always go in here not trying to buy anything and I almost always come out with something. Whoops! :)
