**********, the supervisor from your store located at *********************** *****, ** was very condescending and treated my family with hate and racism. She has blond straight dyed hair, with ******** and she is overweight. My son made a purchase using his associate discount card and we also wanted to use my husbands store credit. She demanded to see my sons ID card stating it is part of policy. There isnt a policy regarding showing an ID and there was not an authorization on screen for him to agree on showing an ID. This is against the law what this supervisor wanted us to do. Also, two other cashiers at the counter confirmed an ID was not needed before the supervisor came to talk to us. We made a jewelry purchase and my son used his discount card without showing an ID. So tell me if this is policy, how come 3 employees are not aware of it? Is this a policy this lady set on her own or is this pure racism? As a supervisor she is lacking a lot of knowledge, and needs training on de escalating a situation. She did not care when I told her my son was underage and to stop calling him names as she had no right to be so aggressive towards him. We felt very insulted when **** was fighting us over a discount my son should have as an employee and treating him with having a bigger issue for providing a store credit card under her dads name stating it should match to the employees associate card. This has nothing to do with a discount if we want him to use his dads store credit . I also need to mention he is part of my tax bracket as he is underage so the discount we were asking was correct, we did not do anything wrong but **** was just ready to fight us as if we were in the wrong. She was racist towards my family and raised her voice at my underage son in front of everyone. She called him difficult and rude but he was never rude. Please check the camera to confirm what Im saying. **** should not be a supervisor let alone treat customers in a racist and condescending way.Business Response

I purchased a $100 TJMaxx gift card and used it toward my purchase (receipt attached). The total cost of the purchase was $329.97 ($229.97 charged to my credit card via PayPal). I purchased 2 pairs of shoes because I was unsure what size I would be. The cost of the gift card does not even cover the cost of one of the pairs of shoes. I want to return the other pair of shoes for a full refund to my credit card however TJMaxx is stating that their return policy is that if you use a gift card for part of your purchase, your refund will be in the form of merchandise credit. I have never heard of such a ridiculous policy and find it completely unfair and unethical. The gift card that I purchased was already in the form of cash payable to TJMaxx so they shouldn't force me to spend more money there. The right thing to do is to refund me for the one pair of shoes to my credit card.Business Response

I recently returned two reclining chairs to HomeGoods, and in accordance with their refund policy, they credited the cost of the chairs back onto two gift cards. Unfortunately, due to the absence of my original credit card used for the purchase at the time of the return, I utilized the gift cards. Regrettably, I misplaced these cards after leaving the store, and to date, the cards have not been used.Upon realizing the situation, I approached both ******(GM) and **** (Corp DM) requested the cancellation of these unused gift cards, with the intention of having the balance refunded to my original credit card. Despite the fact that the cards remain untouched, HomeGoods declined my request, citing security footage as evidence that the cards were indeed handed to me upon exit.Complicating matters further, I recently discovered that HomeGoods has sold one of the returned chairs. This situation strikes me as unfair, as they retain both the balance on the gift cards and the proceeds from the chair sale. I believe that, as a measure of goodwill and customer service, ******************** has the capability to stop payment on the two gift cards and refund the balance to my credit card.Therefore, I kindly request your intervention in urging HomeGoods to reconsider their stance on this matter. Specifically, I am seeking the cancellation of the two gift cards and the refund of the remaining balance to my original credit card.I appreciate your time and attention to this matter. If you require any additional information or documentation, please do not hesitate to contact me at *******************************. I trust that your involvement will facilitate a fair resolution to this dispute.Business Response

FAQDear Sir/*****,
I need clarification regarding the resolution of my recent dispute involving the return of two reclining chairs. In your recent communication, it was mentioned that one of the chairs has been sold, and I am seeking further information on the available options for resolution.
Specifically, I would like to understand if I have the option to retrieve the chairs or if a credit in the store is being offered given the sale of one of the chairs. I am a bit confused about the status of the chairs and would appreciate your guidance on the next steps I should take.
Please provide clarification on whether the chairs are still available for me to claim or if a credit in the store is the proposed resolution. Your response to this matter would be greatly appreciated, as it will help me determine the most suitable course of action moving forward.

Ordered 2 items of furniture on 11/26/23.Order #:**********. Large 3 drawer metal and wood cabinet that I paid $546.49 for was supposed to be delivered 12/3. What was delivered was a small 14x12 inch box with the cabinet bar code on it. Fortunately, ***** took a picture of the box delivered. Given the cost of the item and the fact that it is clearly not what was ordered, I contacted TJ Maxx via email on 12/3. Response told me to return the box to ***** and then wait weeks for the refund and if I wanted I could reorder the item if it was still available. I then called number given in the email and was put on hold and after 6 minutes the line died. I called back and after waiting again spoke to rep named **** who repeated the same process as the email. I explained my concern about waiting for such a large refund when it was clearly not the item ordered and it could be verified by photo taken by *****. Also, I was told I could reorder the item if it was still available but I told **** by the time the refund was processed it would probably no longer be available and I certainly was not going to make another $550 purchase until I received the first refund. **** put me on hold again and said he was going to speak to someone else to find a another resolution and after waiting a total of over 20 minutes line went dead again and there has been no other contact. I also am concerned about the 2nd item from the same order which I have not received but apparently has a different delivery date.Business Response

Better Business Bureau:
I have reviewed the response submitted by the business and have determined that the response regarding the pickup of the box does partially satisfy my issues and/or concerns in reference to complaint #********. I did receive the 2nd item yesterday and will be able to confirm it is the correct item later today and also have the incorrect box availabe for FedexI understand that by choosing to accept the business response that my complaint will be closed as resolved, however, I was hoping that the company could provide some assurance that if I reorder the same item it won't happen again since the scan code on the 14x10 inch box I did receive does have the same website description of the 3 drawer wood metal sideboard. I would only ask that I be able to reopen a complaint should that happen.
I appreciate your assistance.

I called in October 2023 and closed my account after making a large payment ($1,952) to pay off the account. It was confirmed paid in full by a representative. At the same time ******* closed my card/account as I requested. At the beginning of November 2023 I received a refund from TJX/Synchrony for overpaying on my account after it was closed. I called and spoke to a representative that will not help me. She just repeated that the account balance of $37.63 is a finance charge and it is owed. The finance charge was placed on the account after it was closed. I cannot get this resolved with TJX via phone or email. This is my last resort. I do not have anymore money to pay them. I paid this off and expected this account to be closed. Now they have reported it to my credit as well. I just need this account fixed so i know they aren't going to keep charging me.Business Response

Please see screenshots for receipt with dates and amounts. I purchased a lot of socks from Sierra, a company of TJX and was told that they will charge me shipping to return defective products. They said that they advertise these as irregular on their site. I have included screenshots as well as a video to show just how buried this information is. It says "2nd" in small print below the page fold and if you click on it, you still might be confused as to what it means. It doesn't state anywhere on the main product page that these items are irregular. This is deceptive marketing practices and it needs to be changed. Furthermore, I do not want to be penalized for returning defective merchandise. Thank you for your help with this matter.Business Response

I placed an online order at tjmaxx.tjx.com on 11/24/23 in the amount of $152.90. On 11/27/23 the company charged my debit card an additional, unauthorized charge of $142.35. Both charges show as pending on my debit card and the money is being held by my financial institution, because of this illegal use of my debit card by the *** company. I have called the company twice. The first time I was told that that was just how they do it there and the charge will eventually disappear. I called a second time and another representative told me she understood why this was a problem.

She said she would email me. It has been one business day and I have not received an email. I need the unauthorized funds they withheld from my bank restored immediately.

Our system processes a preauthorization charge when orders are placed. The hold is there until the payment is made when the order ships. As each item ships, there is a charge for the amount of the corresponding shipment. There were two charges totaling the customers full order since the order shipped in two separate packages.. The customer's issuing bank may have placed a hold on the account which can take several business days to be lifted.
We recommend speaking to the bank regarding a specific timeline on when they release preauthorization holds.Sincerely,
