TJ Maxx

I shop here all the time and it’s hit or miss. it’s TJs they put out new stuff all the time and depending on what day you shop it may be picked over… to quote Forest Gump. «it’s like a box o chocolates you never know what you’re gonna get!» I usually find good stuff tho ;-)
My 5 star review is based on an experience I had with the staff… in the midst of last minute xmas shopping craziness, I lost my knit hat (had stuffed it in my pocket). I approached a young lady on the floor and asked her if she’d found a hat. she had! She took me to lost and found box and presented found hat, but alas it was not mine :-(. She told me she would keep an eye out for it. I finished my shopping and checked with the desk again, this time I spoke with a young man, who was a manager. He took my name and # and told me he would call me if my hat turned up… I left the store and 15 minutes later received a call from the manager that my lost hat had been found (by the lovely young lady who I spoke to in the first place)! Both the young lady and manager were so nice, never thought they’d go out of the way to reunite me with my little olé knit hat :-). Thanks TJS staff, you guys were great ;-)!

Better than expected woman’s department considering the size of this location– glad I went early. Sorry I didn’t spend more time with the accessories though, I had just had enough shopping downstairs but got a great dressy calvin klein winter coat for $ 99, jeans, tops a bathing suit for a cruise and a blazer. All in all, a good day!

My daughter bought a Kate Spade bag today for $ 129.00. She bought some cute earrings too.
We like this store location. The store is really stocked this time of year. They do have a serious roof leak in one department. It was a mess.
The other issue is the ladies room is a mess. The overflow of trash bags and dirty un-​flushed toilets. If you need to go, I suggest you try Bed Bath and Beyond. Their bathroom is always looking good!
You can get some great deals in this store. They often gave high end merchandise for less. Just look over your items closely for defects.

This location is lacking a lot in terms of what they have — the baby sections seems to be the only section that has plenty of options but they’re lacking in terms of size availability.
The cell phone accessories are pretty much the same price as everywhere else so I don’t think you’re getting a good deal here.
The lines move fairly quickly so if you do manage to find anything, you can get out fast.

I was in here today around 12:30 pm. I should have grabbed a basket upstairs as soon as I walked in but I planned on just looking. I went downstairs and found shoes, a shirt and some house items. I work full time and take care of my mom the rest of the time, don’t have much time to shop so on this rare lunch hour when I not only had a short opportunity but actually found something! I was so happy. My arms were getting tired, however, and I wanted to keep buying, so I saw a stray basket on the floor in customer service, and proceeded to put my items in it. There was one customer service person and she was slowly and deliberately putting some tags on clothing items as she hummed. She looked up and said, «oh no, that basket belongs to a customer» then she went on humming and fiddling with whatever she was doing. Wait, you are actually WATCHING this basket for a customer? She did not offer to get me one, nor even offer something like, «there are a bunch over by the elevator, leave your things here, and get one»…the whole incident felt like — she just wanted to be annoying. And you know what! She succeeded! She also succeeded in costing the store a sale, as I just took everything out of the basket, and dumped it on a nearby table, and just left. And this woman is in… customer service? Amazing. At Bed Bath and Beyond you constantly are approached by courteous salespeople offering to get you baskets, they WANT you to shop! At Duane Reade on 3^rd Avenue and 57^th there is a lovely lady who walks around asking you if you are finding everying you need, and is there anything she can help you with? THAT is customer service. What a let down, I won’t bother with this place again.

I love this stores location under the Queensbridge & have fond memories of it being the upscale showplace of Sir Terence Conran which downsized & moved to ABC Carpets downtown. (You can still find an old engraved panel in the elevator.)
Upstairs is a beautiful glass terrarium dedicated to women’s purses/​bags & beauty accessories (check out the slant of the roof & the glass skylight panels) — while much larger downstairs is the store proper.
Jewelry & luggage straight ahead, mens, small tech., childrens & check-​out to the right; womens, changing rooms & home & furniture to the left.
It really is hit-​or-​miss here. One of the highest profit TJ Maxx stores around — it can very quickly ebb & flow & one day shelves can be overstocked while the next they can appear sparse… most times neat & orderly & other times showing the ravages of inconsideration. Spoiled customers have to be held responsible for erratic dumping of items from another dept. that they changed their mind about. I have seen people shopping w/​one hand because they never get of their phone & abandon their Starbucks cup because they can’t be bothered to find a trash can.
Staff can ethnically range across the map just like the customers who seem to represent the neighborhood of the United Nations down the road. (I had never seen a wheelchaired burka-​wearer before until this location) — but on a whole all seem to be striving to provide good customer service. It can feel crowded sometime, which makes it a bit unpleasant for everyone.
Pooch-​friendly sometimes becomes a bit excessive, (esp. with large sized ones) — & prices can range from lots of under $ 10 items to things for $ 300. I would say that $ 24.99 is their most popular price.
Go early or late to avoid crowds & don’t expect to always find every ‘basic’ on your shopping list. That doesn’t seem to be the franchises primary ‘Maxx-​ionista’ focus & since this location would not totally qualify as a BIG BOX, they obviously have to make some merch. cuts somewhere?

Small but I love how your dog can come and walk around with you. Just got a Jason wu jacket, Gucci loafers and ferragamo flats.

Wow– I thought the TJ MAXX in Brookline, MA was bad. This place is a dump.

I do love TJ MAXX for a good bargain. But as it’s said in many other reviews — this location is extremely small, so they really just don’t have much. Unless you just happen to be in the neighborhood, I would aim to visit the 6^th Avenue Chelsea location instead.

This branch of TJ Maxx is TINY!
Every department is a «mini» version compared to other branches with just a smattering of this and that.
I love to visit Home departments to see what cookware or kitchen gadget I can find for less than Bed Bath and Beyond but the prices are about the same after you use a BB&B 20% coupon and it’s slim pickings.
I prefer the Columbus Avenue branch in the UWS.

By far this TJ maxx is the cleanest and most well organized one I have been too so far. It was well lit and there weren’t things scattered everywhere like most of the stores in this chain. The selection of bags and hair & beauty products was above average and I found a number of things on my shopping list :)
On a side note, if you’re allergic to dogs this wouldn’t be the place for you. Customers are permitted to bring their furry friend along for their shopping trip. Being a pet owner myself I do enjoy when I can bring my pup into a place with me, but if you’re shopping, you probably shouldn’t be dragging poor fido along under the sweater racks. 4 stars for the selection and organization of their store but I took a star off on behalf of those who might not want to shop alongside your canine counterpart.

This is the best TJ Maxx I’ve ever been to so 5 stars is relevant to every other TJ Maxx I’ve been to. I’ve been to few locations: Midtown West, FiDi, a couple in Connecticut and a couple in Florida.
This by far is the best out of the them because of the size, fast service and quantity of merchandise.
I came here first to return a coat I bought in the Financial District location. I walked in on the first/​top floor, which is mainly women’s accessories such as purses, gloves, hats, wallets, etc. I stood in the line upstairs momentarily until the lady before she was finished and the cashier guided me downstairs for returns.
I walked down the stairs and found an enormous TJ Maxx that looked clean and neat, not picked over like most discounted stores.
I walked right into the returns line and aside from waiting a couple of minutes, the actual transaction to return the coat took less than a minute. No joke. The cashier was sort of grouchy but so efficient.
I could’ve left at that point considering my return took less than 5 minutes total from walking in the store but I decided to venture around as this TJ Maxx is near my place and I had nothing better to do that night.
This TJ Maxx feels like it actually has mini departments instead of just aisles. So instead of a kitchen aisle, there are several aisles dedicated to kitchen stuff. Outside of clothes, which is a given that there’d be multiple aisles, kitchen, home goods, bathroom towels, suitcases, kids’ toys, etc. all had a few aisles to itself.
I will definitely be returning to this TJ Maxx as it’s organized and barely any shoppers. I went to this TJ Maxx and the one in FiDi at roughly the same hour and this was one had no shoppers in it in comparison.

This location isn’t too bad. For it’s size. there is a decent selection of items. I feel like the upstairs is much more organized than it is downstairs.
The lines are always long, but move pretty quickly. Service is spotty, some workers don’t seem like they want to work there.

I love this TJ Maxx! Everything is well organized in section and it doesn’t look like a battlefield. There is a good selection of goods, especially home décor. Because it is on the Upper East Side, it also stocks some expensive designer brands such as Prada and Missoni.
If you see something you like, BUY IT! Otherwise, it will be gone when you come back. They have a 30 day return policy, so you can always return it later.

I came in here looking for luggage and was pleasantly surprised. Everything was very organized and I got great help from the lady who works in that department. I ended up getting a 28″ Ricardo suitcase for $ 90

They don’t really have a great selection of purses and shoes but the store is well-​organized and the home décor section is decent. The runway section looked a bit sparse but hopefully they’ll rotate in the upcoming season very soon since it’s kinda in-​between seasons now. Jewelry section is very meh but that can also depend on the season and timing. It’s definitely one of those stores that you have to frequent in order to find deals and cute items. Overall, it’s okay but I’m doing my Maxxinista shopping in Gateway and St. David’s in PA.

As an Upper East Sider, I am HAPPY and thrilled to have a TJ MAXX so close to home. Sometimes, you want something but just can’t go to Bloomies to get it … because you don’t want to shell out $ 100 for tights or a sports bra! haha
Prices: Like every TJ MAXX … competitive and awesome. My suggestion is, if you like something get it immediately, if you have buyers remorse you can return it as long as you have your reciept. but if you wait, you won’t be able to ever get that deal again.
Organization: The store is like every TJ MAXX… the staff is always on the floor TRYING to make it as great for us shoppers as possible. If the shoppers weren’t such jerks and put stuff back where they got it from the store would feel less cluttered and hard to find stuff. BUT again, this is part of the the TJ MAXX experience. You’re not going to walk in and be greeted by the things that you want, you have to go on the hunt. When you do … you will be surprised on what you find… and boy witll you be happy.
We are addicted to this place!!!

What a mess! I read in a blog that this store was a hidden gem. I don’t know about a gem, but it should definitely stay hidden! The place is complete disorganization. They don’t have a great selection. Everything looks like it was returned from another store. I will not be coming back.

Though the layout is kinda strange, this TJ Maxx has a pretty good selection of clothes for men and women. I like the designer off-​the-​runway section. The Home Goods area could use some improvements as far as furniture options but their kitchenware and bedding selection is pretty solid.

Okay store, but it’s pretty messy and unorganized. That’s what you get for bargain hunting.
Things here can be hit or miss when it comes to deals. I saw some things that were pretty expensive — some cheap athletic wear I’ve seen at target for way cheaper.
But I guess with shopping, part of the fun is the hunt.
