I do love shopping at TJ Maxx, but am very careful to look carefully at items to make certain that they are actually new. Lastsummer I bought a beautiful leather purse at the Winston Salem, NC TJ Maxx,to take on a two week trip to France. Thank heavens, I took it on a shorter trip to New Orelans first, or I would have really been upset! I wanted a big bag so that I could shove a some extra small luggage items in it and use it as an addition to another larger carry on bag. The strap of the purse had holes in it that connected to the body by fitting over some metal posts that stuck up from the other side of the it. I guess to make it adjustable. Well, again, to save packing space, this was the only bag I took with me to use for my four day trip. No sooner did I board the plane, than the whole bag feel completely off of my shoulder onto the floor. Very embarassing, but also, pretty funny to my friends. Okay, I thought, I will just re-adjust it and go on. Didn't work for more than ten minutes or so.The purse continued to fall repeatedly throughout the first day or two of the trip - in the airport restroom, on the filty streets of the Big Easy, the floor of the restaurant, in shops, you name it, it landed there. Finally, I broke down and bought another purse to use. I had bought the broken purse a month or so before and had thrown away my receipt because I absolutely loved it and had no intention of not keeping it. I was, however, able to return it for a store credit. I paid about $120 for the purse originally. Came in the next day to look for another purse and, can you believe it, they had that used, broken purse (strap unattached and draped over the hanger) back on sale for $80! I should have taken a picture of it for my friends and I did text one immediately to tell her about it because it was so unbeliveable! The next time I came by, it was gone, so I am assuming whoever bought it, took it to a shoemaker(had to cost at least $20 to make it work), had it repaired and is enjoying it oblivious to the fact that they bought a used and unsanitary bag! Very poor and unethical business practice, to say the least.
