TJ Maxx

I will not be coming to this location again. Never been treated so poorly at any tjmaxx I have been to. The same employee stole my cart to return to the front of the store TWICE. The second time it had a book in it and I had to search the shelves to find where she stuck it (not even back in the right aisle). When I asked for it back she was very rude and did not apologize, told me I have to have it with me at all times. So even when the aisles have ten people in them on a Saturday afternoon I am supposed to run them over so that I can keep my own without it getting taken away? Makes NO SENSE. Then I get to the front to pay and there are over 10 carts sitting there. What was the point?

This store does have a fairly good selection of merchandise. Where is totally falls apart is customer service. Long line, one actual working cashier, one folding merchandise (wait on customers first???) and two standing behind the counter just talking. Hey, if your on break, then go to the break area. Don’t stand around IGNORING customers; it looks bad.

Nice store, good selection of lower to high end products. I like to stop in here if shopping at the other stores in the strip mall but find it no better than the Countryside location. It’s fun to look around and discover some of the deals– I found a vera wang perfume for $ 35 that is $ 80 at Ulta and dry shampoo that I ordered online only here in this store. Look around, you never know what you will find!

I was browsing at this TJMAXX and found a natural deodorant which I have purchased through Sephora to be overpriced and grossly misrepresented. LaVanilla natural deodorant sells for $ 14.00 on it’s website, Sephora and Macy’s. At TJ Maxx the price of the deodorant was $ 16.99 and the compare at price was $ 28.00. TJ Maxx has been under fire lately for misrepresenting prices to make customers think they are getting a deal when they are better off going to a regular store and purchasing items. Additionally, the shelf life of the beauty products is shorter than at a store like Sephora.

Great stuff for the right price… this location tends to carry higher end clothing such as versace, dolce, and others. I love tj maxx and will will. always continue to shop here… the staff is wonderful and helpful.
Only downfall Is the parking on the weekends. There are a lot of nice stores in the same complex.

I was so over TJ Maxx and Marshall’s, swearing never to venture into one ever again. Then a friend wanted to stop by, having heard that they had some couture stuff that was better than the picked over junk at too many outlet stores. Not 2 minutes into the first rack, I found a Tory Burch skirt I debated over and decided not to buy at the Tory Burch store on Oak, originally for $ 275, on sale at TJ Maxx for a cool $ 29.00. Granted, there were 3 higher price tags behind the magical 29, but what I paid is what it is. I’ll definitely be back in the near future.

The best tjmaxx I’ve been to yet in terms of higher-​end brand selection. Stella McCartney, Balenciaga, Missoni, etc. Valentino pants on clearance for $ 30. Missoni tights for $ 15. Large leather Longchamp bag for $ 400ish. Some cute Rag & Bone bags. Men’s selection is poor though, some horribly ugly Versace and Hugo Boss graphic t-​shirts.

i dont know why ive never written a review 4 this place sine ive been here so many times in the past but i love this tj maxx location. they have great clothes that are arranged neatly and where they’re suppose 2 be. my boy and i ended up buying different types of clothes so we can be summer ready! heeeeeeeeeeey!
p. s. theres an old navy and dws right next to it so u can do a lot of shoppin in this area.

I must be one of the few to review this store that likes it. I always find good things here, but I do agree with the other reviewer that the parking lot is far too small to accommodate the traffic this strip mall generates.

the store selection was quite small. I wasn’t happy with that. however i still manage to find a couple of good deals. #needleinhaystack LOL

You can find some great designer finds here but the prices are still through the roof and I’ve finally figured out how they «buy» the items to bring them to this store — they buy them at clearance prices at designer boutiques and then mark them up about 20%. Since it’s still below the original value, it’s considered a «deal».
If you know anything about the Oak Brook area, you know it’s a very well-​to-​do, higher income community. That’s why I’d expect the store to be less ghetto. It is not uncommon to get rude service here and hear crying children that should already be in bed. Their toddlers are standing on their feet next to them wailing, while they look through the clothes as though that’s more important than properly taking care of their little ones.
If you want to feel low class, you found your place because you’ll fit right in. But occasionally you may score a great deal once they mark the item down to the original clearance price they purchased it for in the first place.

After attempting to return a very expensive handbag to the Lemont TJMaxx unsuccessfully, the manager of the Oakbrook location accepted the return.
I was treated rudely at the Lemont location by the manager, Esther, but the manager at Oakbrook was very reasonable and they could see that the bag was defective. There’s never any excuse to accept being treated with rudeness in any store.
My review of my bad experience at the Lemont store is posted on Unilocal as well.

I really like TJ Maxx. My luck has varied greatly by location (I find that I’ve done MUCH better at the store near my parents in Virginia or in Florida near my Grandparents).
I’m usually shopping for bras when I’m here.
On my most recent visit, I bought two Natori bras for $ 19.99 each. D cups, go me! I think the most I’ve ever spent on a bra before was like $ 12.99 but as a woman approaching her third decade of life, I need to invest a little more in my undergarments. The original price on these bras was like $ 70 which is just insane to me.
I’ve found some other really fun stuff at various TJ Maxx’s. Namely in the pet section. I found a little wooden «locker» for her. It’s the most adorable thing ever. I bought some baby clothes hangers and hang some of her favorite sweaters and coats in it and keep it near the door.
I also got an ADORABLE thing to hang on the wall. It has four or five pegs with little paws painted on them and it says «Let’s go for a walk» with more paws. I used it to hang her leash and things and I keep her poopy bags resting on top of it. I’ve also gotten some really cute food and water dishes.
They always have random items for any room in one’s dwelling. I’ve bought kitchen stuff, wall hangings, bedding, food…
Their holiday stuff is always nice too.
I would say that I have much better luck with non clothing items.
The parking in the shopping center here can be a pain in the ass though. It seems like it’s always crowded.

This is probably my favorite TJ Maxx location in all of the Chicago suburbs!
Dedicate a solid hour (or two) and you will find some treasures at incredible prices!
This location is nice, because it has a runway section, which means like legit designer items at TJ Maxx scaled prices! YAY!
The store can get messy, and sometimes picked over, but with time you will find some great deals!
The women’s department, home store, shoe section and accessories are all better than other locations I have been to.
The staff is great, very helpful and kind.
Be sure to stop here when you are in the area, or make a special trip. It is so worth it!

If you’re a bargain shopper like me than this is your place. Wait, I should correct that. If you’re a bargain shopper and a patient, have time on your hand shopper, than this is your place. My girlfriend always tells me she finds great bargains here, but I always cringe because of the mess and lack of organizations T.J. Maxx and Marshalls normally have, however needing new tops I decided to give it a try since I didn’t want to spend a fortune.
I got a nice Calvin Klein career halter top for only $ 15 and two other tops for $ 10/​each. I’ve worn 2 of the 3 and really like them. The quality is good for the price and they’re cute to dress up or down. They also have really cute dresses at discounted prices and there’s a great home selection and designer bags. Also everything is pretty organized, it might not be pretty has a Macy’s or Carson’s but if you just look you can find a good bargain here.
The cashier was extremely friendly and you can return anything even with a yellow (most discounted) tag! Kudos! I’ll definitely be a repeated customers.

I am the queen of bargain shopping, and am no stranger to picking through lotsa junk to get to treasure. But damn. I hate this store, I really do. Not so much for the store itself but for the clientele it apparently attracts, and the lack of buying/​shopping etiquette that they apparently possess.
I can think of NO other store, chain or other-​wise, where the majority of its goods are used, opened, stained, marked, broken, or in otherwise less-​than-​brand-​sparkly new condition. This would be fine if TJ Maxx were a resale shop, but it is not. Right? Right? I mean, the premise of this establishment is that you go in there to buy a NEW item. Right? Right???
Seriously. Makeup stains, holes and ripped seams on clothing. That alone kills my shopping buzz. But couple with that, the fact that EVERY. SINGLE. BEAUTY. PRODUCT. HAS. BEEN. OPENED. I can’t help it. Call it a sense of entitlement but I expect my stuff to be NEW and nothing makes me seethe and see red more than this annoying factor that again, seems unique to TJ Maxx/​Marshalls. People, if you want testers, go to Sephora, go to Ulta, sample to your heart’s content. Paying full retail price DOES entitle you to such action. But when you visit an off-​price retail establishment that sells last year’s surplus, enjoy the deep discounts and take a chance and BUY the item. Take it home. Use it to your heart’s content. Just don’t usurp on MY shopping experience, because I have manners and would never do that crap to YOU.
So if my problem is with the patrons of TJ Maxx, why am I giving the actual store the paltry stars? Easy. They have got a security camera installed on every square foot of ceiling it seems. If they cannot use this system or their employees to STOP the very things I am complaining about — or at least seriously improve it — then my problem becomes with the store itself. And the volume of missing items and empty boxes thrown on bottom shelves indicate to me that their methods of loss prevention clearly are not working.

Wifey likes it… as it amongst the Nordstrom Rack/​World Market/​And All The Other Ones shopping complex.
Not much for guys in here… or maybe I should look a little harder next time

This store has a really great selection, however, it’s a bit strange; it has about 90% of the usual «Home Goods» wares, but then it’s missing a few of the key items. I couldn’t quite wrap my head around it. I realize that sounds funny, but basically they have items that most people won’t ever buy and are lacking the ones more likely to sell.
The sales associates could really use an attitude adjustments. They were all unpleasant, including the manager.

I’m pretty familiar with 90% of the TJ’s that are west of 294. That being said, this particular location has the most high-​end brands of all the TJ Maxx’s that I frequent. My wife got a pair of Prada boots for $ 5 from here. Wtf? They were on yellow clearance (refer to my other TJ Maxx review for more info). They also have Michele and Movado watches and all kinds of other goodies that the other locations don’t carry. The only two problems with this particular store are that the parking lot gets real small on the weekends, and that the clientele that shop here can be a bit annoying. I’m talking about no-​English speaking, hit you with their cart, grab every pair of tall boots and purses, reaching for clothes on the rack that happen to be in front of your face people. You know the type? I know you do… and you know who you are!
For all the annoyingness that this store has to offer, the amazing deals are more than enough to tip the scales in favor of a «shop here» verdict. Conveniently located near Nordstrom Rack and DSW, nearly adjacent to Costco, and down the street from Oak Brook Center.

This is one of the smaller TJ’s and it really is way to organized and does not have enough merchandise. The houseware department was spread out across the whole back of the store and I still couldn’t find anything to buy!
