      I am writing to address a serious concern regarding a purchase I made at the ************************ location on November 19, 2023. I bought a Moncler children's winter jacket for $399.99 plus tax, believing it to be genuine. However, upon verification with *******, I was shocked to discover that the jacket is counterfeit. This situation is not only disappointing but also alarming. As a regular customer, I have always trusted ********************** for quality and authenticity. The realization that I was sold a fake product is deeply unsettling and undermines my confidence in the store. Selling counterfeit items is illegal and unethical. It damages reputation and violates the trust customers place in the business. In light of this, I am requesting an immediate refund. It's crucial for Marshalls to take responsibility in this matter and rectify the situation promptly.

Please add your rejection comments below; if you do not provide any details, your complaint will be closed as Answered. 

      Thank you for getting back to me, however, I am not satisfied with the outcome from my complaint. I feel as the compensation offered (a $15 gift card) is insufficient for the racial discrimination, targeting that occurred that day the incident occurred. For context, I suffer from mental illness which includes anxiety, and this woman caused me so much anxiety, that I literally cried in my car and was shaking from a panic attack. Thanks to the same woman, I had to call my boyfriend who lives 30 minutes away, to come in with me to get a refund for the item she scanned 4 times, when I only had one, because of how horribly she treated me.  Respectfully, a $15 gift card is unacceptable for what I went through and am looking for monetary (money) compensation, not a gift card for being discriminated against.

      We purchased a pair of boots for my son at a local **********, but they didn't fit my son. A couple of days later I took them back for a return but it was denied! They rudely told me that the item was not found in their system! Since the boots didn't have box, they could simply check their security camera to verify they were the boots that I purchased, but they didn't bother with simple verification. I asked for manager; ***************, assistant manager, got my phone number to call me back the next day for a reolution and I left the boots and receipt with him and he took them to manager's office; they never called me back and i disputed the charge with my credit card company. They have sent a letter to my credit card company that I had never returned the merchandize!!! Attached is the picture of receipt and boots at the time of return on customer service counter. I see it as an unjust and unethical business practice.

      Dear *****,

      Thank you for contacting TJ *********************.

      We were disappointed to learn the store was unable to accept your return.

      Although our return policy states that merchandise that is used, worn or in unsellable condition will not be accepted for refund, store credit or exchange, we would like to assist you with this. and are sending you an egift card in the amount of $25.00. This may be used in any of our stores and online at tjmaxx.com, marshalls.com, and sierra.com. It will be sent in a separate email from ******************************* within one - two business days.

      Ms. *****
      TJ Maxx Customer Service

      Thanks for your email and offering your assistance. I will not accept the offer of your egift card of $25.I have made a very legitimate return the next business day of the purchase, in the very exact condition that the merchandize was purchased, and with the receipt and tag. Your store management first stated they could not find the item in the system, your organization response to my credit card dispute was that I had not made any returns, and now your response implies that the returned item was damaged and not resalable!


      This is a matter of principle for me and this issue will not be settled until I get what I deserve and am ***********; that is a full refund of $24.99 + tax credited to my original form of payment.

      Ms. *****, 

      It is very disappointing that I received another false statement from your organization; the merchandise WAS returned along with receipt and tag the next business day. I never asked for and will not accept your gift card for two reasons: first, I have made a return perfectly per your companys policy and you have no legitimate reasons to deny my rights;secondly, by accepting your gift card that is less than what I paid, I have to do business with your organization again, and thats something I will avoid for the rest of my life.

      Sincerely,

      Majid

      I stopped at TJ's on my break and purchased a clearance sweater and wasn't given a receipt. When I got home the sweater has holes all along the top of the sweater.

      Hello. I visited the Marshalls location in ****************** on Sunday, 12/17. I bought a massage gun for my finance as part of his gift. We went out of town visit family so we exchanged gifts last Wednesday. He wanted to use it right away and he opened it and thought I was pulling a joke on him. The massage gun, and all attachments, we all gone! I was shocked. The box was super heavy so I never dreamed that it would be empty or that anyone would ever do that! I do t know if maybe this was a floor display and thats why it was empty or if someone stole the contents. I reached out via Instagram and email to try to get this resolved and have not heard. I just want them to check their cameras and follow the product I bought. Someone either stole it, or something. I would like a response ad another product as I knew my fianc would be looking forward to this gift. I will upload another photo when I get home. I initially sent through instagram and it disappeared so I will have to take another when we arrive back. Thanks!

      12/13 I purchased a ladies scarf from TJMax and Gloves from Marshalls. Both items were priced at .$12.99 at both stores when paying *** tax was added to the price. When questioned I was told the computer shows Items fall under accessories. I understand tax is additional when purchasing bags and luggage not on items of clothing. I recently purchased scarves at other stores without paying the additional tax.
