Hello and good afternoon Grace,
At the Marshalls in ************, **********, and the ** Maxx in **********, **********, we have many fruit vendors, taking up parking spots in front of your stores, and trying to sell fruit to us while we park our cars. How do we put an end to the fruit vendors selling in front of your stores?
Also, it ruins the curb appeal and niceness of your stores.
Its also scary at times as we dont know what to expect, and we really don't expect vendors in the parking lot or where we park our car!It is not in-line with the wonderfulness of the **X Stores.
I noticed that this doesnt happen in other ** Maxx or Marshalls throughout **********, only in **************** and ************, ***********
Please tell us how we can help you stop the fruit vendors from selling in your parking lots?
Photos attached.

I am writing to formally express my deep disappointment and concern regarding an extremely distressing experience at your Marshalls location at ****************************************, on October 23, 2024, at approximately 8:30-9:00 PM.During my visit, I was wrongfully accused of stealing by one of your employees, specifically the store coordinator, despite having paid for all my items. I willingly provided receipts and cooperated fully by removing all items from my bags to demonstrate my honesty. Despite these efforts, I was still subjected to unnecessary and unjustified suspicion, leaving me feeling embarrassed, humiliated, and distressed.This experience was not only humiliating but also unfair. As a loyal customer, I expect to be treated with respect and dignity while *********** the time of the incident, I was carrying a Lululemon weekend bag containing personal items such as makeup, skincare products, hair care items, a pair of Zara ****** a dress, and tops, along with a Cartier watch from my stay at my boyfriend's the previous night. I also had my work handbag, which contained additional valuable personal items. I willingly allowed a police officer to search both bags, and they found nothing stolen.However, when I asked the young black employee, who had instructed the officer to follow me through the exit, to check my bags himself, I was met with laughter. Both employees, although they eventually apologized, were dismissive, saying they were ready to go home as the store was closing. When I asked whether they had seen me steal anything, they responded that the store coordinator had found me suspicious and instructed them to follow me.This was the most degrading experience I have ever endured. I would like to request a formal meeting with the store coordinator for an explanation and a sincere apology. As a customer, I deserve better treatment and an explanation for this unfair treatment.Business Response

I want to express my appreciation for your storeI truly enjoy shopping there. However, I must address a recurring issue Ive encountered during checkout at the ****, ** *********** the past 10 months, Ive spent $1,297.20, but my experience at checkout has often been frustrating. Recently, while declining an offer for a store credit card, I found myself having to repeat my answer multiple times. Despite stating "no" three times, I was persistently asked again, which led to an uncomfortable situation.I understand that employees are encouraged to promote certain products, but I believe this approach can detract from the customer experience. A simple "no" should be sufficient without additional pressure. As someone who worked in the industry previously, I am aware each employee must "sell" a certain number of cards per day or week. If they fail to do this, they will be reprimanded. This practice alone says volumes of your employee turnover. You don't value your employees, and it shows. Shame on you. Im sharing this feedback in hopes that it can help improve the checkout experience for customers who value a respectful and straightforward interaction.Whats more telling is your inability to email corporate and use the chat function has both been disengaged. Interesting.Business Response

Placed an order for a watch from TJ Maxx, which I was a little nervous about due to increased reports of issues with their warehouse and fake designer items. Ordered Versace watch. Recieved package this morning and package was in **** box to be opened. Opened box and watch box was not sealed with plastic, or any type of sealant to ensure tampering from ******* warehouse employees. Go to open box and wasn't sealed shut at all, open box, and watch is missing from box. Searched the watch box, and the box that delivery was made it and the watch is nowhere to be found. I was simply sold a watch box from over $400. I am absolutely angry and upset with ** Maxx that this occurred and they are not willing to rectify this situation. This needs corrected and a refund needs to be issued. Please advise as soon as possible.Business Response

I purchased an Arcadia purse online on 10/10/24 as a gift. Upon finding out that same day that it was the wrong purse, I contacted TJ Maxx the same day to cancel the order. The item had not yet shipped and the payment was only pending. I was told that they would not cancel the order. Instead I had to wait for the order to arrive and then return it to get a refund. However, ** Maxx steals $11.99 for a shipping charge. The site says they charge this if you return it by mail. I took the item back to the store and was still charged. I was actually charged more. I was charged $12.09 for shipping. I was only refunded $109.99 of the $122.08 I originally paid for the purse. I found out that if I had mailed the item back, they were going to deduct $11.99 for the original shipping plus $11.99 for the return shipping. The plan was to steal $23.98. This seems like a scam to get ****** I should not have had to pay a shipping charge for an item that did not have to be shipped. I attempted to cancel the same day. Neither TJ Maxx or myself would have incurred any costs. Instead, I was forced to receive an item that I did not want and charged $12.09 to return it which is more than ** Maxx says they charge to ship. This appears to be designed to steal money from customers. I was scammed out of even more money than their policy even states. I want the additional $12.09 refunded. I want my full payment refunded as this was no fault of my own. TJ Maxx created a shipment that was unnecessary and I should not be penalized because of it.Business Response

I only agreed to resolve the complaint if I was properly refunded. However, today I received a TJ Maxx gift card for $12.09. This appears to be a way to force me to give the money right back to TJ Maxx. I am filing this complaint because I want my money refunded to the original payment method as agreed.Business Response

I have ordered 3 Black marble tables from TJ Maxx online. Every single table has been delivered to my home broken. Each table was more broken than the previous one. Recently, I ordered a single ***** marble table and TJ Maxx cancelled the partial order, refunded the debit portion of the order and sent the rest on a gift card. They had sent a gift card in the amount of $25. The new gift card is less than $25. I spoke with a manager over the phone who offered to have the tables picked up but admitted they would be discarded. So, we have: poor customer service, ecological unsustainability, no common sense, and zero accountability for this company that has been around for a long time.Business Response
