      Still have not heard anything about my defective suitcase I purchased from store #****. Been in contact with store manager who apologized after being spoken to another guest about my sexuality and assured it would get refunded and customer service would be sending me something. Now 2 months later, nothing after being told she couldn't find my receipt yet I have a copy in my statement proving so.

      Stepped on a security tag pin, the pin went right through my shoe and into the foot. When I asked how this even happened I was told it happens, security pins come off of clothes sometimes, I asked if the floors get swept and told and night.

      I went HomeGoods to buy a pot for our garden. I saw the $19.99 price tag; of course, I believed I was getting a bargain. My husband and I were waiting in line and he saw that there was another tag for $29.99. I believed I would be charged the lower price, otherwise, it would be misleading. I brought to the attention of the clerk that there were two tickets. She informed me the higher price was the correct price and that should would need her manager's approval. The manager, however, needed the operational manager's approval. The operational manager told me the $29.99 was the correct price. I asked as a consumer how would a customer know. Her response was the customers come in and change price tags. I was skeptical because it did not look like neither price tag had been tampered with. I was upset because it was the $19.99 price that attracted me and that the garden pot is perfect for our yard. As a result, I reluctantly paid $29.99. The operational manager said it is because of customers slapping tickets on merchandise is the reason why prices go up. After leaving the store, it weighed on my mind about the two prices and I think that the manager was inferring that I put the price label on the pot. My issue is if there are two prices indicated on an item and the label is misleading, correct info or not, would I be entitled to the lower price. My position is I believe the price was misleading and that I was entitled to the lower price since I personally had nothing to do with the price tags on the merchandise. Was I entitled to the lower price, if so, I think I should receive a $10.00 refund.

      Dear *****,

      Thank you for contacting TJ Maxx Customer Service.

      Customer courtesy and convenience are very important to us, and we apologize if you feel our price verification/ticket check procedures were not handled properly. It is our policy to sell merchandise for the correct price at all times. If a pricing error is detected, a manager or associate will be called to verify the price of the merchandise. Please note that a price check will be done if the ticketed price appears too high, or too low. In order for us to remain consistent in our stores, we must stand behind this policy and hope you understand our position.

      Please be assured that we have discussed your comments and concerns with the Store Manager for her review and attention.

      Also, as a one time exception to this policy and customer courtesy, we are sending you a gift card for $10.00. This will be sent via a separate email in 1-2 business days.

      You are a valued TJ Maxx customer, and we hope to see you in one of our stores again soon.

      Sincerely,

      This is my second compliment regarding a extremely rude, disrespectful, unprofessional employee of TJ Maxx. I spoke with a DM the first time which assured me that I would not have any further issues at his store. Several months later I went back to the store and the same employee yelled at me and walked away from me while I was trying on gold jewelry from behind the counter. I requested to speak to the manager 5 times and she completely ignored me. I called the store myself and asked for a manger to speak with me. After explaining to the manager how I was treated he assured me that the DM and or Store Manager would call me. After waiting several days and no call I called **************** and requested for someone above the DM to give me a call. Its obvious that the DM has zero control over how his employees treats customers. I received 2 voicemails several days later. I returned his call and left a message. I tried calling back 3 times and no answer. I am completely appalled at how TJ MAXX allows its employees to yell and disrespect customers. I would like to again be contacted by someone above the DM.

      Apparently you did not read my response. I have already called customer service case# *******. The DM was made aware of this regarding a previous complaint and yet theres no resolution. As a matter of fact the employees behavior is even worse. TJ MAXX condoned this employees behavior the first time which is why she continues to display this same awful behavior. I find it completely useless speaking again with the District Manager which is why I requested to speak with someone else.

      Purchase 2 rings from ***************** store on May 13, 2023. The beads on one ring were crushed the following day, the second ring, part of the gold lifted up. Both rings were 14K gold. I tried to return both rings today only be given excuse after excuse. While I have purchased jewelry from this store many times before, I was told as long as I kept the receipt and the tags, I would be able to return any piece of jewelry. Now, the first time I tried to return the jewelry, I was told by the Manager, ****, I can't return it because the tags weren't attached . Another clerk said the items were old and not showing up in there system. I asked did the policy change with regards to returning jewelry. **** said no which means when I was told I could return jewelry just as long as I kept the **************** I was lied to. I asked for the district manager, **** gave me his name but said she didn't have a number for him and I could call and leave a message. Basically TJ Maxx is selling old jewelry. They claim they can't locate jewelry in their system that was purchased from this store 10 days ago. **** would not issue a refund and kept laughing as if this situation was funny. So I am expected to keep damaged jewelry, that did not last 5 days. I paid $259.99 for a ring that TJ Maxx does not have in their system. If the store is selling merchandise and unwilling to accept returns, then that piece of jewelry, it's descriptions should be in their inventory system 10 days after purchase and the customer should not have to bear thr expense of TJ Maxx's poor inventory record keeping. The total paid for both rings was $312.68. **** from the ** office claimed they have to check with loss prevention but loss prevention was not available. So, I don't know what will be outcome of TJ Maxx selling jewelry so old that there is no proper record keeping & unbeknownst to the customer that there they can't return the jewelry. Deceptive practices at best.

      On 5/2/23 I used a virtual gift card created in the specific dollar amount of $154.76 to complete a purchase with your company, Sierra.com. The order number is E40166410. Since opening a BBB complaint directly with your subsidiary Sierra on 5/4/23, they have yet to resolve the issue. I received an order confirmation on 5/2/23 at 3:34 pm. I checked the status on 5/4/23 and saw a series of zeros on the order summary. I then immediately contacted customer support via chat. Sadly they could not give a concise explanation as to what happened to the order and after back and forth, settled on not being able to verify my bank info. I then told them that I used a gift card and that a bank account wasnt used. I was then told I could not reinstate my order. I then asked for supervisor at which time the representative said I would get a gift card in the mail and then abruptly ended the chat. I then called your company directly. The representative researched and could not see the reason the order was canceled nor could she see the gift card or any credit in the system. She also stated that I requested that my account be closed. That was false. I made no such request. She then apologized and reactivated my account. I had no idea my account was pending closure! Once reactivated, she attempted to reorder my items, but all are now listed at a higher price. She then proceeded to help me order 3 items that still had a lower price and said that I would have a credit balance that I can only use with your store. Given the experience, I asked for a cash refund, as I had no intention of purchasing from your store again. The representative said that she could not refund me and that the remaining credit would have to remain with your store and that I must call them to place an order. I told her that they have not only cancelled my order without cause, but I am now being forced to inconveniently order alternative items I dont truly want via phone with a company I no longer trust.

      I responded to Sierras email and informed them that I did not want a refund as a FiRST and FINAL remedy to the issue they caused.  As a remedy, I would like Sierra to honor my initial order.  I believe TJMaxx as a parent company, has the ability to adjust my order cost around currently stocked items. 
      My order was cancelled without cause and I have been deeply inconvenienced.  
      Again, please honor my initial order as requested.

      Today I was in Marshalls to return merchandise I purchased with my Marshalls credit card. I had the receipt, and the merchandise was in the original packing. When I first purchased this 2 weeks ago, I purchased 2 of same product but different prints in the frame. When I checked out, the cashier assumed they were the same and did not scan each frame separate. When I returned the item today, the manager refused to accept the item to place back on my credit card and replied she would not because the skew scan numbers did not match. How is it that would be my issue and I am being penalized for the stores error? I do not want a gift card; I would like the original payment back on my card.The manager was hostile and rude and made it very clear she would only issue a gift card which I do not want.This is the 2nd time this manager has been rude and hostile to me, and I would like this addressed. The first time was 2 weeks ago when she ruined my check because her cashier did not know how to enter a check payment and her attitude then is the same as now. If I have been shopping at this store for 20 years, why is she the only one I can never have a good experience with? TJ Maxx and Homegoods have never given me this negative, bullying action and harassment. I am sad to have to report this, but I am not happy and would like the credit back on my card.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. 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.
