      I went to return some items at a TJ Maxx store in ****** and the cashier did not scan one of the items I returned. I returned the ************************* Glycolic Toner and the cashier took the item but didn't scan it. This is for order **********.I found out when I checked the receipt and was not refunded for that item. I would like a refund since I did return the item in store and the cashier took the item without refunding me. Not only was the cashier incompetent, but also a bit rude. I should be refunded since the store took the item back.I want my refund and for the store to manage their employees better. I don't know the employee's name but they were working at Register 1 on May 27, 2024 at 1:06 PM in the **************** location.I already called customer service and they were no help so don't suggest calling them because I already did. It's deceitful practice to not refund items when I've returned the item to TJ Maxx.

      I was racially profiled while shopping at the merchants business. I was shopping on 5/31 between the hours of 12pm and 2pm. Upon shopping at one of my favorite retailers, I needed to use the restroom as Im disabled with medical conditions. I left my cart full of items I wanted to purchase and took my purse with me to the restroom. I noticed two women in the back of the store by the restroom. I went in and as Im using the restroom I noticed someone trying to peek in my stall from the corners scared as I was I tried to continue using the restroom and grabbed my air freshener from my purse to spray. I came out to wash my hands and I noticed a Caucasian woman with a dark hair in a ponytail and glasses with a work lanyard run out the restroom stall that was next to me . She didnt wash her hands or anything. I realized that she was listening to be using the restroom the entire time. I felt hurt, embarrassed, violated and ashamed. Upon returning to my cart I put back most of the items I really was excited to purchase. I left the the store in shock and embarrassed. I looked for that same associate and it seemed she disappeared. I would like this store and company to hold this employee accountable. She ruined my shopping experience at one of my favorite locations and retailers. I didnt get to to take a picture of her as she darted out the restroom so fast and disappeared in the store.

      On May 27, 2024 I ordered a ring online for $199.99 (total $210.99 after taxes). My order number is **********. Immediately upon submitting the order I realized I had updated only my billing address, and not my shipping address, which was somewhere I lived two years ago and I have no access to. I contacted customer service and they said there was absolutely no way to change the shipping address, but they could request an order cancelation so I could reorder with the correct address. I said yes please cancel the order. They responded that they submitted the cancellation request, but if it ships to contact them again for help. A few days later it shipped and they would not respond to me. I contacted ***** and they said there was no way for me to change the address or pick the package up at a ***** facility based on the type of shipping tj maxx chose. The package was delivered yesterday, June 3rd, to the address I have no access to. I again contacted customer service with no response. Ive also since ordered another ring because it is a gift. I wanted the ring, I just wanted to actually receive it. I would like a full refund for the first ring that I did not get.

      I opened a credit card at the register of my local tj maxx. I spent approximately 65.$ after the savings of doing so. Which was paid upon receiving my 1st bill in the mail on May 5th. The bill being due if I'm not mistaken on the 16th. This month I received a bill for 29.00$ and I thought I had better look because I remembered spending another 60-70.$ a week later and hadn't yet gotten my card and couldn't find the paper receipt one they gave me day of opening so I used my bank card. We'll it was charges for late fees. Wow my 1st ever!! So I called to fix it and close the card because I've never had this issue using my bank card so for my credit purposes I wanted to close the card. I can't be sure if mailing or processing lead to this but either way I would think 11 days which I may add is about average from receiving to due on my bills weather utilities or cc (*****) days I've never had this issue. Anyway they would wipe out the late fee if I agreed to keep account open but if I closed it I have to pay. I don't feel that's fair!! The account was closed because I don't want the fear of this again when I have other means of paying then their cc that does alot enough time for mailing and processing it. I will pay the 29.00$ if I have to however I will take my money and major credit cards elsewhere which makes me sad because I am a fan of tjx and home goods when im in md. I shop there 2-3 times a month sometimes more. I wish this wasn't how the 1st time 1st use of card had to go but it did. But it's just a card.

      A few months ago while checking out I was offered a "rewards card." I said sure and started the process then THANKFULLY while reading the prompts on the screen I realized it was a CREDIT CARD I was applying for, very different than a rewards card. I have near perfect credit and did not want to add a new card. I told the clerk how misleading calling it a rewards card was. Then I went again last night and had a different cashier and he also offered me a "rewards card." I feel this is completely fraudulent telling customers it is a reward card instead of a credit card. The company needs to stop this unethical practice. A credit card is not a rewards card. This occurred at the beach in *****************, *******. Zip *****

      I asked to return two items out of policy on order E41251108. I was informed by the care agent that I could ship them back and request store credit and she would notate my account. I did as she asked and shipped them back with a note included stating store credit was acceptable. ***** later the items were returned to me with a decline notice due to being out of policy. When I reached back out to care I was told that it is up to returns to accept them and I was out of luck. I was lied to by the previous agent, have now wasted hours of time, and when I asked for a supervisor was told that wasn't an option and they had to put in a ticket to have someone called. All I want is what was promised to me, you accept these items back for store credit.

      Summary of Complaint:I am writing to file a complaint about my recent experience attempting to return an item at your store. On May 4th, I purchased a pair of pants from your TJ Maxx location. When I got home and inspected the item, I noticed that the pants were dirty and the zipper was broken. This was clearly an issue with the quality of the merchandise, as the pants were not in the condition I would expect for a new item.I returned to the store on May 18th to attempt a return, still having the receipt and the pants still having the tags attached. However, the store refused to accept the return. A ******* and other employees were very rude and dismissive about the situation.As a loyal TJ Maxx customer, I am extremely disappointed by this experience. I expect better customer service and quality control from your brand. The fact that I was unable to return a defective item that I had purchased less than 2 weeks prior is unacceptable.Desired Resolution:I would appreciate a refund for the cost of the pants, as well as some compensation for the poor customer service I received. This was a frustrating experience that has damaged my trust in TJ Maxx. I hope you will look into this matter and provide a resolution.

      May 5, 2024 I placed an order on Marshalls.com for four sets of black deep seat Sunbrella outdoor cushions with white cording/piping trim at $99.99 per set. I received one of these sets and the other three without the cording. Between the time I ordered and the time I received them, they all sold out--the ones with the cording and those without. Since I had three that were the same, I decided to settle for those and search the internet for one more, which I will have to pay $140 for at the very least. I have emailed and called to be refunded the difference between the cushions that I ordered and the cushions I received as there is/was a $20 price difference. I was told that I need to send them back. I want to keep them, but I do not want to pay more for them than they were selling for. I was offered a $20 gift card for my inconvenience, but that does not solve my problem. I would like to be refunded $20 for each set for a total of $60.

Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
