Where Do The Clothes At Stores Like TJ Maxx Come From?
As demand for traditional department stores falls, off-price retailers like T.J. Maxx, Marshall’s and Burlington are seeing a surge in popularity. But as more consumers join the ranks of bargain hunters and deal chasers, less of them know where their favorite affordable clothes, shoes and other items come from. The supply chains behind these stores have evolved in the last decades to meet rising demand, and they’ll likely continue to change as e-commerce grows in popularity and consumers emerge from the pandemic.

Where Do The Clothes At Stores Like TJ Maxx Come From?
Also can’t stand the lighting and overwhelming bunch of rails of clothes .
Off-price retailers thrive on excess inventory, but the declining quality of clothing is a growing concern. Do you think brands are intentionally lowering quality to maintain profit margins, or is fast fashion’s influence reshaping consumer expectations for durability?
I get my shoes, dog supplies, bedding, housewares and most clothes from TJ maxx, Marshall’s, Ross, Burlington and Home Goods. I used to get all my clothes at Macys or Target but they’re too expensive unless you get clearance items. I hope these stores never go away!
the clothes for men are too big, not enough choices for underwear for men also. Same grandpa boxerbriefs sold at walmart.
these are the WORST stores. shopping there you think you’re getting a great deal, but everything you buy there falls apart really quickly. it’s really poorly made! everything i’ve bought at a TJ Maxx, Ross, or Marshalls has lasted less than a year, some things less than a week because they are so poorly made. Nordstrom Rack is the only discount store like this that I will shop at!
China has a hold…
no ppl are not running to these stores. 1. the stores look like clothes have been vomited onto the floor. 2. one long-ass line just to pay for stuff (I walkout leaving those clothes behind). 3. the stores are junky 4. the bathrooms are worse, nasty, trashy, and smells they’re never cleaned that’s putting is nicely.
Most of my clothing came from off-price stores. Unfortunately, there are no ethical producers that make large-scale production.
This is sad. It’s a representation of how the US consumer is being transformed into a cheap and price averse buyer. The more these companies thrive the worst our economy will become.
I spent years working as an off price jobber. You’ve neglected to mention the number one reason why there are goods in the market. Buyer cancellations. This is a really skewed explanation. It’s not at all accurate and it’s not anything that the consumer doesn’t already know, so you’re actually insulting the intelligence of your viewer. Not well done. You would have been better off starting with the off price industry, starting at the off price show in las Vegas.
My jobs sells to them… and HotTopic, Spencers, Walmart, Target, urban Outfitters, fashion nova, and more…🫣
Not the scavengers😭 She said that with such disdain
Clothing has a "circular" market
How many clothes are too many? We are over purchasing clothes
Clothes turned to crap after COVID. There was a lot better quality and selection before the outbreak.
My son scored Dockers for 15 bucks!
And now.. what you are seeing is higher ticket prices. Use to be nothing but low prices. Now you find a higher price tag in these departments stores.
China….TO INCLUDE TEMU….dollar tree…family dollar. AMAZON ETC.
I will not shop at a TjMaxx or Marshall’s. I cannot bear the overloaded racks of cheap clothes, hanger marks on shoulders and ugly tags. I dont care to dig for a discount. I would rather buy high end clothing at the end of the year at Neiman Marcus, etc thats on sale at deeper discounts. Or just invest in solid quality items from Ralph Lauren, etc and keep them for a while becaue they will withstand wear and time. It all weighs out positively at the end.
These Type of Stores get what dont pass Quality Control wit Designers & Old Restock from Other Store…
Those store all are owned buy the same company,and they are greedy,everyone says they great but they are targeting women and they are eating it up,they are very greedy.
Burlington is their own company,they offer a large selection of mens clothing which the other stores could care less about,because their main focus is on women and their pride,and it hurts them,they arent winning at nothing.
Go to a real clothing store because they treat men better,they respect the man,they will serve the man,they have good quality clothing,for cheaper,a much better store.
most of the clothes that people donate because they don’t like it , were made in Vietnam
Always a hot place to find expensive stock for low prices. Yet. This is hilarious. TjMaxx is now THE store now. Wow.
I bought clothes for my wife and kids from the Ditchit app, and it turned out to be a great choice! The prices were very affordable, and the quality of the clothes was excellent. I’m really happy with this purchase
The Ross in Waikiki was fabulous. Meanwhile the Nordstrom Rack was selling clothes that made no sense in Hawaii. Ross ride or die!
Buy secondhand. These stores throw unsold clothes away.
My local ross got all kinds of columbia, north face, Nike, etc right before Christmas. I looked at every peice multiple times over I found. Unfortunately they all had defects. Uneven fit, poor quality, missing stitching, rips, tears, or even worse, missing features in which the normal product has. Such junk products.
Since Covid the clothes and shoes are mostly junk. Looks more like a thrift store. The top brand names have disappeared.
NYC inventory way better, there is crap being sold at my NJ stores. There is no quality clothing anymore esp at outlet stores and Nordstrom rack etc.
TJ Maxx too expensive
Ross is my spot
I agree with allllll that
Wait, how is the guy that ran toys r us into bankruptcy an advisor? Does he offer advise on how to burden a business with mountains of debt and then leave before it collapses?
TJ Max is a rip off. It sells Target and other budget brands. a bit of Lacoste. my local one had one designer handbag in a locked glass cab8net. The only designer item in there. It is overpriced junk.
I feel so bad for the people who shop here and think they are getting good quality clothing. At this point if you’re not shopping second hand and thrifting vintage clothes ur just getting fast fashion garbage. Manufactures need to go back to the basics cotton wool and linen!
I don’t believe this is true. The quality products at Macy’s last forever. Whereas the alleged same brands at TJ Max/Marshalls end up being trash quality. I think they’re/we’re being scammed due to which, I stay at Macy’s. Macy’s has great sales and discount racks.
Aren’t they the clothes that didn’t pass inspection or pass quality control or have defects?
The clothes come from Central America and Southeast Asia
I have a friend who is making a killing buying returns from online stores. It seems a lot of retailers don’t want to be bothered with returns and many use a return service. She doesn’t know what is going to be in the containers she purchases, but 5 to 10 good items in a container pays for the price and shipping of the container.
The last reason is that they are defective and technically not real, for example " lined out" and cut labels mean the brand does not want their brand on those defects but will be found at discounted retailers.
They pay their employees zip. I worked there in 2015 and 6 months in, as reward for conscientious work. my supervisor made a huge deal about my raise of 10 cents an hour.
Also, check out how they "mark down" clearance items. E.G., broken, empty makeup pallettes discounted 10%.
"Off price" retailers often mislead the consumer that they are selling factory seconds, overstocks, and slowly selling merchandise from other stores. Their prices are not that low. Walmart, Target, & Dollar Tree beat them on price.
Avoid those "off price" stores!
Can’t stand TKMax . Would rather go to a charity shop that I know I’d get better quality and I do .
thrift instead
Macy’s, in my opinion, stinks…so bad, like every one of the crappy new fragrances become one, so dumb.
TJ Maxx clothes are usually past season, imperfect etc… ive gotten a lot of on season Polo Ralph Lauren from TJ Maxx. Even got a pair of Vilbrequin shorts from there !
Quality is like Shein
Bad clothes at tj.
I used to shop at Marshalls, but no longer. The quality of their offerings makes it a waste of time.
Its all garbage now.
😮 definitely going slow down my consumption at these stores
