Don't Use PayPal at TJMaxx.com
I made a purchase online at TJMaxx.com. The form of payment I used was Paypal. I opted to keep part of the purchase and to return the rest to a store for a refund of $70. After waiting in line for more than 10 minutes, I was told that because I used PayPal to make the purchase, I could ONLY be issued a Gift Card/Merchandise Credit for the $70 return. When I pushed back, they attempted to contact the Manager several times who couldn't be found. I was then informed that my only option to get a Refund back to my card was to box up the purchase (at my own expense) and mail the Return to TJMaxx. This whole process is amazingly inconvenient for me, but even worse, is that it comes across as deceitful as TJMaxx isn't upfront about not making store refunds available if PayPal is used to make an online purchase and forcing customers to accept Gift Cards, thus, ensuring them a coerced purchase. I called TJMaxx Customer Service and waited on hold for more than 15 minutes for the CS Representative to return to the call. When she returned, she informed me that I could drop off my return at FedEx and that I would be charged for the cost of the Return. However, I could then call TJ Maxx AGAIN and request a refund for the shipping. I used to LOVE shopping at TJMaxx. Now, no matter how good the deals they have, I won't shop there anymore due to their p*ss poor customer service and deceitful online return policy.
