TJ Maxx

Some people have worked on wall street, some people have just shopped at a TJ maxx on wall street.

I myself, fall into the the latter category.

I spied this subterranean (it's kind of in a basement) TJ Maxx from the covered street that runs east-west on a recent trip. As on most trips, my wardrobe started seeming lacking, so I headed over here and found a bunch of stuff I loved for pretty cheap. 2 shirts, purse, capris, exercise tank top, soda for $80.

There's a few clothing stores around the WTC area (theres a mammoth H&M and century 21) but I chose this store because it was the only one to open at 9 am on a weekend- nice when you want to get your shopping done early and can be ready to roll with the rest of your day.

The store itself is pretty tight but not really messy. The checkout line had lots of drinks, food, lotions, etc available for impulse purchases. If I'm being honest I had trouble with figuring out which way the line went-a little confusing!

I've got lots of compliments on my stuff from here, was only out $80, and I was able to get in and outta here in about 30 min.

3.5ish

I tell ya, after reading all these {not-so-good} reviews of TJ Maxx I was pretty sure I wouldn't be shopping in this place... I mean, if its so bad - why bother, right?

Well, I decided to take a chance today and walked over at lunch. You guys, it's not that bad! It's pretty nice actually (def. better than the one on Fulton St in BK they just opened. Bah!)

For starters, the place was not that messy or disheveled... which surprised me. This one was well organized and well stocked. Specifically the home department, taking up about half of the lower level, it had a really nice selection of home goods - Ddshes, fluffy towels, picture frames, just to name a few.

In addition to a decent home section the store is (currently) set up like this:
Main level = womens clothing, shoes, bags, mens clothing, beauty products.
Lower level = kids clothing, 'intimates' for the ladies, luggage and the aforementioned home goods.

Back on the main level - I found there to be plenty of dressing rooms. Unfortunately, the top I tried on didn't fit so I couldn't tell you how the check-out process went. But this TJMaxx is about a 5 minute walk from my office - so I'm sure there will be plenty of lunchtime visits in the future.

Perfect setting easy to find things absolutely convenient for quick finds in Manhattan

The Spanish lady who works downstairs by the food section is consistently rude. She bumped into me twice not only without saying sorry, but not even looking at me. Very strange

Great merchandise they even have Gucci, fendi, designer brands and stuff in all sizes. I'd go back but the customer service is shit. I stood in line by myself and no one looked up and greeted me. I had to say is this where I buy something for the cashier to ring me up. It was weird. I did find an adorable purse and some clothes. Good brands.

I was on Wall Street and saw TJ Maxx and figured "why not?"

I wandered around the 2 levels of this store and was reasonably satisfied with the selection. Trying on clothes wasn't appealing at the moment but I did partake in the beauty department.

Holy Cow! They have a huge selection. Bliss products 50% off, Philosophy 10-15% off, Bed Head, BioSilk to name a few. The displays are sloppy and not organized so you need to pay close attention to what is on the shelves. You can easily pass a hidden gem.

The staff is very friendly and helpful but the register line moves very slowly so don't come here if you are short on time.

I would definitely come back should I find myself on Wall Street.

The store is equipped with what you need from candles to shoes and beauty products. The staff is friendly and always greets me. It's as odd location but so happy it's there.

I live in the neighborhood, and even though there is a new Marshall's that opened up by Westfield Mall, this TJ Maxx has the better finds. This has been consistent over the past year or so.

Marshall's is definitely more spacious, but everything I need I usually find at TJ Maxx. Everything I don't need, but still purchase anyways, can be found at Marshall's.

A few months back, I bought this awesome cake stand for my Bridal Shower which was made of ceramic and perfection at TJ Maxx. The cashier wrapped it with a single sheet of gift wrap and bagged it. I remember telling myself, "Well sh*t, I've gotta be careful."

Note: They single wrap the most delicate items. This is not their first offense, hence my 3.8 stars, rounded up to a 4. I really don't understand why this is a thing. Items should be wrapped to protect an item, especially with ceramic and glass. I feel like this should be common knowledge.

Ten minutes later, I get to my apartment, and pull out a piece of my ceramic cake stand. It had broken into 6 pieces. :( I immediately went back to the store, returned it, and I was given a refund. I was so sure that they weren't going to, but I'm happy they did. They also didn't make a fuss, which was even better. I didn't find a replacement, but I was happy that they accepted my return. Yay!

This store offers a good selection of clothing and good values but has very long lines. I'm a tourist from Arizona and am not accustomed to waiting 20+ minutes in line to buy one item. I commented on the line length to the checker who informed me that the long wait was typical.

My wife loves this place, but I find it a bit on the shlocky side. They do have a wide variety of items but it all seems randomly scattered.

I've gotten a few dress shirts for cheap. They are also good for towels.

The checkout line is intimidatingly long but it moves very fast. The people behind the registers are always friendly and helpful.

The location is good for us, but for the rest of the city, it's a bit off the beaten path.
