      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.

      On February 10, 2025 I was at the Marshalls store at *********************************** ********* Georgia. I was approached by one of the managers by the name of ******, regarding getting a reward card. I explained to her on three or four different occasions that if this involved running a hard credit check, I did not want it. She assured me that a hard check would not be run on my credit and it was only an in-store process. After I proceeded to the counter and completed the information on the keypad. I was asked to sign a document, but I asked again if was going to be a hard inquiry on my credit and I was then told that a hard inquiry had been run and that my credit score was only going to drop two or three points. I refused to sign the document.This an unauthorized use of my information and this damaged my credit score that I explain to the manager at that time. I was provided a receipt and was told to call the number on the bottom, which was the actual credit card company. I called them and They explained that due to the circumstances, my credit would not be run. I also the following days spoke with the store manager by the name of *** *****, and also the district manager with the name *****. They both spoke highly of their store and the practices, but did nothing to resolve their bait and switch practices that affected my credit score. I havesince received some letters that I have attached for your review. This store should not be engaging in practices that are going to adversely affect customers! I asked both of the managers to reach out to the credit reporting agencies and let them know that they made a mistake in ordering the credit report and to have my credit score adjusted. To date nothing has been done. I am shocked and appalled that a vendor would use these type practices against customers. Your assistance in resolving this matter would be greatly appreciated.Thank you,

      Purchased a pair of crocs for my niece. They didnt fit, so I tried to return for a full refund. Marshalls employees refused because they said the shoes were worn/damaged. Please see the attached pics for proof that they are neither worn nor damaged. I would like a return and full refund to be processed.

      I bought a multi branded TJMaxx gift card for $25 at ********* in ****************. When I entered the gift card in and continued to place my order I was given an error that said the order was not processed. Fine, I tried to start again but then they told me my gift card was temporarily disabled. I called regarding this and was told I would have to wait SIX days to use it again which is unacceptable seeing as what I wanted was at risk of sell out. I explained I wanted a supervisor call back and that did not happen either. The balance is still showing as $25 but I cannot use it. This needs to be fixed or they need to reimburse me for the unusable card. It is 2025 and I should not have to wait 6 days to use a gift card because of their error.

      I purchased a ** set march 2024 and noticed a hole in it about 2 months in. Mind you, I have multiple pjs and never wear the same one all the time, so I only wore it a few times. I didnt really bother with it until I noticed more holes forming recently. Its a *********************** set. You would think the quality would be better for the price, but no. I paid $50+ 15% tax at winners and Im unable to get compensation for it. I understand this because its way outside the return period, but when it comes to a manufacturer defect especially for a *********************** item, something needs to be done. I even asked if a gift card can be issued instead of a refund at head office level, but theyre refusing to give me one because its not a manufacturer defect they asked me to go in store but I dont want to go out of my way to return something defective especially almost a year later. I am not comfortable doing this. Im hoping something can be offered especially that I am a loyal customer

      TRE warning received 2/28/2025 Transaction ID: *************** I opened a BBB complaint because I could not get information TJX's handling of my return problem, through its cooperation with The Retail Equation (TRE), has been unjust and opaque. When submitting a report of receiving broken things from *****, I was denied a refund, with customer assistance indicating that TRE prohibits all transactions and that they can do nothing. Photos and receipts were provided. This strategy is faulty and unfairly punishes loyal consumers who rely on internet purchasing due to impairments. I usually buy multiples to try at home and return what is unnecessary, but I now face a ban with no ability to discuss or in a punitive ********* returns are in brand-new condition and often resold immediately, so I have been penalized indefinitely without recourse. *** claims it only provides risk reports, leaving *** to make the final decision, yet there is no transparency or ability to appeal. After 35 years as a faithful client, this event has changed my opinion of ***'s devotion to its customers. My return patterns have just recently risen owing to my infirmity, but rather than considering a long-term history, TJX and TRE have focused primarily on recent transactions in a punishing manner. I want to discuss this situation since I have been unable to reach anybody.I have not been able to research anyone at the email and number below:***************************************** ************ I should not be compelled to retain defective things; any return restrictions should not apply retrospectively. A reasonable resolution would be to allow you to finish my returns and credit me for the damaged items, for which I reported timely and with photos, while I transition away from relying on TJX to prevent future penalties. No one should have to lose money. Please reconsider the diverse customer base. If I had received a warning, I could have kept a positive relationship with TJX.

      Dear TJX Customer Service,

      Thank you for responding to my BBB complaint. This issue concerns both retail and e-commerce. However, I remain unsatisfied with the resolution and the lack of clarity. Despite multiple attempts to reach out, I have not received any direct email communication from customer service, which furthers the conversation, only general marketing emails from TJX. The phone interactions I initiated have not resulted in meaningful progress, as I have been unable to speak with a supervisor or receive clear answers regarding my concerns. The issue at handbeing denied returns and refunds for damaged items after purchasesremains unresolved, leaving me with financial losses for items that arrived defective due to no fault of my own. After 2-3 weeks, someone reached out to provide a gift card refund for a single order, but no assistance with outstanding or future orders.

      Additionally, there has been no transparency regarding account restrictions, including their duration and scope across online and in-store transactions. The Retail Equation, TJX's chosen partner, was not much help, pointing me back towards TJX. Policies should not be changed retroactively without notice, and customers should be able to escalate concerns and receive definitive answers. I continue to seek a fair resolution and more transparent communication from TJX.

      Sincerely

      ***

       

       I appreciate the response and the offer for free shipping but there's nothing I want. I've looked at the other items and nothing is close to the item you canceled. I actually thought days before you canceled my order that I was so glad I purchased it because everything close to it it cheap and ugly. Plus there is no other items from farm rio. The other brands are non famous brands at the same price.  I have wasted hours ilooking n hopes that this item would be back in stock. That item was fully available that entire day and not even in low quantities then suddenly it went down to 1 left? Then never shipped due to an inventory error?  Can you find it somewhere? I really loved just that one cover up. It went with most of my swimsuits. Plus it was one of my favorite brands.

      Please reopen this complaint. They canceled another item. I'm fed up. Their customer service is horrible
      The *** today gave me some made up reason that my billing address didn't match my shipping address. That's not true. If that had been true, the order would have never gone thru in the first place. I was billed and a temporary hold was placed on my card. Then, instead of helping me, the love *** just rudely left the chat. No explanation. No sorry. No offer to help find the dress etc. I wasn't even given an offer for additional questions or any kind of closing. The *** just disconnected from the chat. 

      I never received an email. Just a message on my parents voicemail that I don't have access to offering free shipping on another order. That does not make up for the item canceled. There is nothing on their site to ***lace the canceled items.

      I have been having COUNTLESS issues with ** Maxx lately. But this newest problem takes the cake for me. On Wednesday, February 5th 2025, I placed an order for some jewelry and a fragrance. I had a gift card for $85.59 and the rest of the balance, I was using my Klarna account to split the payment in 4. As I put in my information and pressed the submit button to checkout, I received an error stating that my order amount had to be recalculated and it started me over. So the order DID NOT go through. So there's no order number, etc. So then I started to go back through the checkout process AGAIN. As I'm putting in my gift card information AGAIN, it said the card had ZERO balance. The first order that didn't go through charged Klarna AND took the balance off of my gift card!! I instantly called ******* customer service and spoke to a *** that honestly didn't know what to tell me. She said the money is on an "authorization" and that it would fall off. But she transferred me to *** gift card services and the *** said he saw the balance on the gift card as "pending" and it should return back to the gift card in a day or so. I then called gift card services back Friday, February 7th and the *** said she saw $85.59 on the gift card. She told me to look again and when I did, it still says my balance is $0.00. I tried to use it again and it says there's no balance. In the meantime, I've been charged for an order that didn't go through. Klarna is still charging me and my gift card balance is ZERO. ******* customer service doesn't seem to know how to fix this problem. I'm sending screenshots on my call log showing I stayed on the phone with ** Maxx for 16 minutes, the Klarna charge, and the screen showing my gift card balance is zero. I also have the calls recorded. This needs to be fixed.
