Hi, I have a problem with winners that theyre not willing to fix and trying to gaslight me. *** bought an earring on Sept. 23 2024. The display had a small section with a sign that has 14kt gold written on it so I went up to check what they had. I went closer and I requested help because I saw the pair of earrings I was interested in. *** asked the sales representative if its 14 kt gold and she said yes. When I got home I opened the box under the earrings there was a small pice of foam and under that in the bottom of the box Ive found a tag that said 14kt gold electroform on a resin core. I right away called customer support and let them know of my issue that I have an allergy to different type of metals and they told me that theyll investigate since then theyve contacted me saying they cant help me with my refund because its 14 kt gold. Theyre oblivious to the fact that I was sold an earring as 14 kt gold because thats how its advertised when its only 14kt plated resin and once the top coat comes off I wont be able to wear it due to my allergy. I didnt know what I was buying because its falsely advertised on the display and by the sales associate also. I should've been informed that the product is gold plated only then I wouldve had the chance to decide whether I wanna buy it or not. Could you please help me resolve this problem? Thank youBusiness Response

TJX Canada has assessed the complaint of Ms Balogh in
depth. Only 24 carat is pure gold. Gold that is less than 24-carat will contain
other alloys. We endeavor to label our merchandise accordingly and per the
email of Ms Balogh, she was aware to have purchased a 14-carat gold. We will
not refund the purchase made by the customer as we expect customers with
allergies to make informed decisions by reading the labels prior to making a
purchase.Customer Answer

I have reviewed the response submitted by the business and have determined that the response does not satisfy or resolve my issues and/or concerns in reference to complaint # 22346279. Please add your rejection comments below; if you do not provide any details, your complaint will be closed as Answered.My issue is not that it’s not 24k gold. The issue is that your company advertises it as 14k gold earrings when it’s not. It’s 14k gold PLATED. I wasn’t informed of that. There was no indicator that the earrings are only plated. It’s a resin core plated with 14k gold which I can’t wear if the top layer of 14k gold comes off( as you know it can come off due to everyday wear) The sales representative didn’t disclose or none of your displays had that information. If I want to buy 14k gold I should get exactly what I ask for not gold with some other materials under it. Your company is oblivious to the fact I was sold something that If I had known what it was made of I wouldn’t have made the purchase. It’s your sales representative’s and store’s responsibility to inform customers. I asked her and she said yes it’s 14k gold but never mentioned that it was plated. False advertising is illegal.Also when I asked the customer service representative if I could talk to someone else she refused and told me she will be more than happy to submit my comments|concerns for me. Horrible experience and totally ripping off customers.

This business had a huge incident occur on 09/23/2024 at this location where a young woman of color wanted to buy some purses and a gift for a friend. Immediately she was harassed and followed around by the manager and pretty much every employee there trying to force her to check out early, constantly bombarding her with questions about things she was looking at, and they standing guard at the doors when she tried to leave. This is extremely offensive and disgusting and the business also continues to have reviews removed and hidden for damage control meanwhile nothing is being done as far as the public knows about the racism in that store of the employees that participated especially the manager.Please ensure this business checks who worked that day and reprimands them as this will result in more racial discrimination suits if not resolved.Initial Complaint

I have consistently had problems with receiving packages from ******* via their shipping partner LaserShip/******. In the last month, I have had one order lost and that I had to reorder, with a delay of multiple weeks for my refund. The shipper has also claimed to deliver items they have not delivered. My most recent order, placed on 9/14/24 (# **********) is now in the same pattern--there has been no shipping update for over one week, and the website is not working. ** Maxx also said they had no additional information. Based on my recent experiences, I believe the package is lost. I asked a representative to look into it, so that if it is lost I can reorder (there is only one available). The agent said she could not do anything. She also said I would have to wait 48 hours to speak to a more senior representative. This is a pattern of shopping where I am continually out hundreds of dollars, because my packages are lost and TJ Maxx will not do anything proactive to intervene. I would like someone to reach out to me from the corporate offices. It is not normal to have a package on day 9 with no shipping update that only says "label created." I also do not want to be out $300+ and have my packages left outside, with no accountability and frequently not actually delivered.Business Response

On 8/12/24 i went to the Marshalls at ***********************spent $131.93. they were renovating the store, therefore, the fitting room was not accessible. I took the items home, they didnt fit to my liking. I brought them all back, but unfortunately, I didnt have my receipts. I told the cashier, **** that I paid with my credit card, he can look it up. He said he cant. He informed me that I would have to get a store credit for the items. Which I was okay with. During the transaction he accused me of stealing and states that one of the items was missing a piece. I informed him that I was unaware of the other piece as when I bought the items it was only one piece not a set. **** took it upon himself and discounted my refund as he accused me of stealing an item that he assumed was missing. He refunded me $126.95 instead of $131.93 He also manipulated the system and had me red flagged where I am not allowed to make any refunds without a receipt. When I brought it up to At the end of the transaction he handed me a receipt with a warning, stating that I should call that number for future returns as the store will not accept any returns from me without a receipt. I called that 1800 number and requested my transaction history with the company and it showed that I only had one return this year which was the transaction done at the store that particular day.After taking to customer service over the phone I went back to the store and told **** about how he red flagged me and he denied it.the store manager *****, refused to give me back the money the store owes me and also claimed that **** did not red flag me. I would like a sincere apology from the store, I want my full refund back, take me off the red flagged system. I am a hard working ***** and I have my own staffing company. I am not a thief. If he had used my credit card to process the return, he would have seen that all items were returned.I have attached receipts and transaction history.Customer Answer

I purchased a pair of earrings on September ******. They were costume jewelry and cost ******. I was leaving for vacation on September 3rd but had decided they were too expensive for costume jewelry so I did not try them or remove them from packaging. I checked Winners return policy and decided I would take them back on my return. When I took them back to the store. I was told earrings are final sale even though their website does not state this. It is on the back of their receipts which effectively means that you dont know their policy until the item is purchased. The sales clerk also did not advise of this policy so based on the information that they provide their customer in store versus what is on their website, is clear misrepresentation of policy. I am a senior on a pension and therefore ****** is not a small amount of money to walk away from. I have my receipt and as mentioned the earrings have NOT been worn and are in their original packaging. I complained to their *********** in ***********, ******* and they advised that there was nothing they could do. I find that this is very unfair and that consumers need to be clearly advised of return policies prior to making the purchase and not in faint print on the back of a receipt once the purchase is already made.Below is what you find on checking their website:People also ask:Can you return jewelry to winners?Return Policy? We will gladly refund your purchasejust make sure to bring the original register receipt and have the tags attached to the merchandise.********************** contact Let us Help | Contact Us Today - WinnersBusiness Response

Dear ******,
Thank you for contacting TJ Maxx Customer Service.
We do not return earrings due to hygienic reasons.
Our policy to return earrings is stated on the back of the receipt and at the jewelry counter.
On our website it is stated We are unable to accept the return of merchandise in unsellable condition. Other restrictions may apply.
Earring would be non-sellable once again, due to hygienic reasons.

I was told that exact message when I contacted the company before going to the BBB. You need to have this on your website and your staff need to inform customers to f this policy. It does not help to have it in faint print on the back of the receipt because the transaction at that point is complete and there is no recourse. Your website clearly states you can return jewelry and earring are jewelry. They also can be sterilized if they had been worn which is much more sanitary than some other things that you accept in return. What if someone purchases soft fabric items for their home which is bedbug infested and returns it to the store?? Do you take those items back?

A few months ago my wife and I purchased 2 area rugs from the Homegoods at *************************************** ***********, Tn. *****. After putting them in our home, we noticed red bumps on our baby while she played on the new rug. Upon inspecting the rug, we discovered bed bugs. We called the store immediately and was told to return the rugs so they could destroy them. We were informed that Homegoods would pay for pest control as well as replacement of our sectional couch to mitigate the bug problem. We immediately received a call from Homegoods insurance company who asked for us to provide quotes for pest control as well as furniture replacement. After submitting everything needed, Homegoods as well as their insurance company have cutoff communication with us. If I call from a number they dont recognize, they will answer and say they will call me back within 48 hours, but never do. If I call them from my number, they screen the calls and send me to voicemail, in which they do not return my call. Please help us get this taken care of. All we want is the pest control and sectional replacement taken care of. We had to take our daughter to the doctor after she got sick from the bites, so wed like to get this taken care of as soon as possible. Thank you and God bless.Business Response

Have the Area Manager contact me today. I purchased 10 items and when I got home I realized the cashier didnt give me 3 items that I paid for. 3 shirts: $16.99, $8.00, $12.99. I called the store when I got him and spoke with ********, the Manager on duty. She put me on a brief hold then came back and told me that everyone she asked said nothing was left behind. I told her I checked out at register #6 at 2:47pm and she asked me to describe the cashier because there had been several on that register. I told her she needed to look to see who was on the register at that time, as the Manager. I dont need to describe anyone, she needs to do her job and truly investigate the issue. Just because whoever she talked to said nothing was left, doesnt mean it wasnt. The 3 missing items were not given to me after I paid. Theres no reason that I should have to wait until Monday when Kita is available to give me my items or my refund. ******** stated that **** is the area manager and that she (********) cant access the camera. If I dont receive a resolution immediately, Ill be disputing the total of the 3 items with my bank as soon as theyll allow me to do so. The total amount I paid was $104.91 and the amount for the 3 missing items would be $41.11 including the *****% tax.The Marshalls online Contact Us form doesnt work. *** tried completing it on a computer and on a phone, it fails each time with an error code of Forbidden Request, whatever that means.

AUG 5th 2024 I visited the Home Goods in ************ ********. I had an awful experience with one of the managers. I called customer service who gave me the DM number. I spoke with the ASSISTANT ** ***??? Who informed me that either he or the actual DM would call me back after he reached out to her. He also stated that he would send me a gift card after learning that I do not live by this store. I was in the area at the vet. The call back never happened. AUG 12th I received a Voicemail while I was in a conference from ******** ASSISTANT MANAGER. NO APOLOGIES just come to the store to pick up the gift card. She expect me to drive 1 hour to pickup a gift card that I was assured would be mailed to me. I called her back. She had a TERRIBLE ATTITUDE. I explained that I informed the assistant dm that I do not live in the area and he explained that he would mail it to me. She became even more frustrated and said well I will talk to the manager next week to see if we can maybe mail it. Today is September 7th over a month since my initial complaint and she completely lied! This further explains the awful service I received in the beginning.Business Response
