      TJX Rewards Master Card coerced me to sign up for a credit card when I was checking out - they offered a discount on my large purchase. In the subsequent months they proceeded to make it impossible for me to access the account online due to a horrible verification process. They had me do a video of my face and scan my ID. It never worked. They stated multiple times that they would verify my account with a letter, it never came. I demanded the account be closed, but they were charging me $34 on a $0 balance. I wanted to know what that charge was for before I paid it. They refused to tell me anything because I couldn't pass their verification process. They had ALL of my personal information and they were more than happy to take my payment WITHOUT being able to tell me what it was for. After a few hours of trying to resolve this, I closed the account but they demanded payment on the bogus fees and interest charges. I would like a refund on those and a $200 gift card to TJ Maxx to make up for the frustration and time this situation has cost me.

      On April 9th, around 2:30 PM, I bought a pair of so-called 14K gold earrings from the Winners jewelry counter. When I made the purchase, I asked the clerk three times if it was a genuine 14K gold pair of earrings instead of being plated with 14K gold on the outside. The male clerk assured me that it was genuine. During that time, I specifically pointed out to him that there was a pair of gold-plated earrings among them. He assured me that it wasn't gold-plated. Moreover, the box also indicated 14K gold. So, I bought it. After returning home, I discovered that the earrings were made of plastic. Therefore, at around 5:00 PM on the same day, I went back to the store to request a refund. The store manager, *****, had an extremely bad attitude. He said it was final sale and could not be returned. I told him that I had asked the male clerk three times if it was genuine, but she completely ignored me and directly told me to contact the customer service. I told her that even if it was gold-plated, it wouldn't fall off after just a few hours. She simply didn't want to solve the problem. Therefore, I hope to get your help. It's unbelievable that such a big store sells plastic items as gold.

      On 4/3/2025, I initiated a return at the ** Maxx store in **********, Al. The item was purchased online but qualified for an online or in store return. The item was in the original wrapping and accompanied by the original receipt. The wrapping actually had a picture of the item include on it. The cashier verified the item with the receipt and the picture include on the wrapping. Due to the item amount, the manager, ****** *. was called to sign off on the return. He looked at the item and indicated that he did not know the store sold these items online, however, he indicated that the ****** store sold designer items, listed under ******. He pulled out his phone to try to see if he could find the item online. Online carry Runway items as well. These items usually sell quickly due to the prices being much lower than the original merchant. ****** *. would not issue me a refund until I showed him my email confirmation even though I had all the documentation and requirements based on the storess policy to receive a refund. Showing email confirmation is not a requirement. ****** C clearly had issues working with a particular class of individuals. He requires them to show much more than what the stores policy requires to receive a refund. His behavior was totally unacceptable and unwarranted. The company needs to seek other forms of employment for him as he lacks the ability to effectively represent ** Maxx in his current capacity.

      2 nightstands $599 each total $1,311.58 with tax 3/25-1 item delivered by 3rd party due to size and weight 4/2-2nd item delivered-both required signature and had to be home Driver both times noted damaged condition of boxes and took pics he said he was uploading to company. 4/9/25- Sent email to **************** and that one of them is damaged on 2 of the corners and *** ***** in the middle of the front top piece. 2nd nightstand is not damaged but I ordered and need 2. When *** responded telling me to return item to ****** I asked to have inquiry referred to a manager since items weigh 154 lbs each and are quite large and I would have no way to move or transport them. Repeated that delivery driver took pictures of the damaged boxes and told me he was uploading them to the company and that I also took pictures of the damages to the furniture. 4/10-Received another email about a ***** pickup of items that I had not requested. 4/10 -Called customer service and explained that I needed 2 nightstands and if and if I sent one back and reordered there was no guarantee it would still be available and that I had to pay someone to move the nightstands because of the weight. Explained I want to keep both of them and asking to reduce the price of the damaged one so that I could have it ***aired. Was told there was nothing they could do about damaged piece but have me return it and offered me $35 gift card. Told *** it was unacceptable given the cost of the furniture and that I would be filing complaint. This is 2nd time I have had an issue with this *** Last year I bought furniture from Marshalls and they arrived dented and beyond ***air. Ironically, I had to argue with them to pick them up because they were so large and again can't just be thrown in the car which is simply common sense. Assumed it was just a fluke and ordered furniture from TJ Maxx which clearly was mistake, not because of the items but because of the poor customer service dealing with damaged item.

      Purchased a rug in **** AZ on 3-14-25 for a total purchase price of $161.53. Rug began shedding. Took in to ********* store since this is where I reside on 3-30-25. I had paid with 2 Home Goods gift cards, 3 **** gift cards and my bank debit card. Was told that I could not get the money placed back on the **** gift cards (even though the Yuma store had explained otherwise); no attempt was made to do so as she stated my money would be lost if the money did not return to the original card/s. I told the manager I felt this was unfair as I could have used those cards at another store. I was basically forced/obligated to get the entire refund on a Home Goods gift card and told there was nothing more they could do. The original **** cards were kept by the manager (and I am assuming they were discarded) and was given the Home Goods gift card. Happened to be in Yuma yesterday and manager stated that the refund could have been done. Returned that afternoon again to the ********* store where I was given the same story as before by a different manager. Called the **************** and was, again, given this same explanation and because I no longer had the original **** cards there was "nothing they could do". No where in the store is there any return policy posted and the receipt only states "REFUND WITHIN 30 DAYS WITH RECEIPT. Store Credit Only With Gift Receipt. Other restrictions may apply". I feel the return policy is not specific and that I am entitled to my refund as they were paid for the item I purchased. Of the $116.35, $44.02 was on Home Goods gift cards which leaves $72.33 in other cards not from their store ( I as refunded the $45.18 to my bank card). I have no other recourse but to reach out to you to have this issue resolved. If you have any questions, please contact me either at the email address or at my phone number. Thank you.

      I purchased several books from ************************** and would like to return 1 of the books in store. I visited the Marshalls store located at ******************************************************************** on April 5, 2025 to return the books. The cashier (*********) looked up the order and was appalled at the price of the book. She called the manager, ***** and asked if the book could be returned. ***** came to the register and stated the book could not be returned in store as they do not sell books. She stated that if the book was put on the floor it would not sell and suggested I try returning to TJMaxx. I called around to several stores in the area and was told regardless of the price, the book could be returned as long as I have proof of purchase.

      Incident Report Date: April 1, 2025 Location: ******** Marshalls Involved Employee: Junior Incident Details:On March 24, 2025, I purchased a ***** ****** tote bag from Marshalls in ******** for $43.44. On April 1, 2025, I discovered that the handle of the bag had ripped, making it unusable. I returned to the store to exchange the bag for the same item. However, the store no longer had the same bag in stock, so I selected another tote bag of equal value as a replacement.I did not have the original receipt or tag, as I did not anticipate the bag would rip so soon. However, I provided the card used for the purchase as proof of the transaction. Additionally, the cashier who had assisted me during the original purchase was present and confirmed that she remembered me buying the bag.Despite this, Junior refused to process the exchange, leaving me with a damaged and unusable item. I am disappointed with the lack of assistance in resolving this issue, especially given the circumstances and the verification available.Requested Resolution:I would like the opportunity to exchange the defective bag for another item of the same value or receive a refund for the purchase.

      On 2/22/25, I purchased bed sheets from HomeGoods. In one week of normal use, the sheets began coming apart at the seams and had severe pilling, making them defective. On 3/17/25, I attempted to return the defective sheets to HomeGoods in-store, but they refused the return due to a lack of original price sticker. They also declined to look up the transaction or allow me to speak with a supervisor, despite offering transaction details such as the date, time, and register number.On 3/18/25, I contacted HomeGoods corporate (TJX), and they provided me with transaction details by email. However, I was informed that the email details cannot be used for a return. According to HomeGoods return policy, returns without a receipt are eligible for a non-transferable merchandise credit, but this was also denied.

    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.
