    You can buy something in the store, and when you want to return the item ticked and recepit, they say the ticket don't match. Why is that when you bought like that. Often they are rude and management is even worse. They don't often speak proper English.

    ⭐ 1 Star. Very disappointing experience with the evening manager, Prasada **. I went to Marshalls to return a blouse priced at $16.99. The blouse had the tags attached, and I was treated as though I had switched or attached a different tag to the blouse. The way the evening manager approached and handled the situation made me feel extremely humiliated, especially because this happened in front of other staff members.

    I am a regular customer of Marshalls, TJ Maxx, and your other stores, so this experience was especially upsetting. I walked out of the store feeling as though I had been wrongfully accused of something I did not do. I work in the hospitality industry and manage employees myself. I understand that employees sometimes need to question a transaction, but there is a professional and respectful way to handle these situations. Customers should never be made to feel embarrassed or humiliated in front of staff. I ultimately refused to continue with the return because of how the situation was handled. I hope Marshalls reviews what happened and provides additional customer-service training to its management team. A $16.99 return should never leave a loyal customer feeling this way.

      Went to Marshalls in Wethersfield, Connecticut this evening to return sweatpants, and purchase some shorts and the cashier was unfriendly and rude. Never said "Hi," "Please" or "Thank you." When I approached the register, she asked me if it was just the shorts I was getting and I said yes, but I have a return. Instead of asking politely if I had a receipt, she just stood there like she was waiting for something. Obviously, if I had the receipt, I would’ve handed it to her. I told her I did not have a receipt. Said she would need my license to do the return so I gave her the license. No "Thank you," No, "Please." Handed me the store credit. Said, "Swipe." At one point, I told her she could be more polite asking for things. Rude cashier. She should not be in customer service AT ALL. Maybe she was having a bad day. Then she was better off staying home.

      I will never order from Marshalls again. I ordered a set of Easter plates. They came broken all over the box, so I sent a picture and requested a refund. I then received an email requesting five more pictures at different "angles." How ridiculous. You can clearly see the broken plates from the image I attached. I'll pay full price next time and receive adequate shipping and service. I'm also going to report them to the BBB.

      I brought a gown online. When trying to return the gown, I find out it's not returnable to the store on 48 St and Northern Blvd Long Island City. Although, the receipt clearly says it is, The Manager was very rude, unhelpful and dismissive. I called customer service and they also stated it has to be returned by mail. Apparently the return policy is written elsewhere in fine print and not stated at checkout. I would've never brought this if I had to pay $11.99 to return it. Who has extra money??? Needless to say, I will never shop at Marshalls again!! I wished I read all the reviews before giving them my business!!!

      I ordered Christmas plates online and paid expedited shipping to ensure they would arrive before my big dinner…. Not once but 3 TIMES! All three times the FRAGILE goods that were marked fragile on the box were shipped inside a plastic bag! The last shipment was double bagged. The CSRs have a script… apologize, send email, issue refund. I don’t want a refund - I want the goods to arrive in proper order. Marshall’s should honestly fire all CSRs and managers and set up an automated service. The automation would take less time. There’s no customer service to be offered. Now let’s address the shipping dept…. Who ships dishes in a plastic bag? If the box says fragile, why wouldn’t that be a red flag to mark the outside packaging with fragile? This is a major training opportunity but I doubt it will ever even be addressed because a refund has been processed.

      To my disappointment at the Marlton, NJ Marshalls I was belittled and treated with a racist named Lorraine and Gio. Items purchased on occasion for donations for Animal Shelters, Women’s Shelters & Senior Citizens Facilities. Unfortunately some items are not accepted due to certain regulations. Previously to purchasing I inquired if returns were accepted if items were not accepted at the facilities would I be able to return? They assured me yes as long as accompanied by original receipt. The items that were not allowed at the facilities were taken back with original receipt with tags still on items “Nothing was tampered with “. The associate looked at the items and started the return and open up each item still with the “factory seal“. I asked, "Excuse me the items were not even opened. Why would you open them for the next person not to purchase. It's been tampered with now?"

      Gio laughed and said “ People like you always…" Then she calls Lorraine. She put her glasses on, looked at me and shook her head, “You people are always trying to get over…” I did not even know how to respond. I said, "I will contact Corporate as your behavior is unacceptable." They laughed and Lorraine said “Go ahead. My name is Lorraine ** and I will call too! They will believe me over YOU! I will not accept your returns. Now GO!" Corporate did absolutely nothing! An Attorney will proceed with this case. -0 rating. Will not recommend.

      I love shopping at Marshalls especially around the holiday season and I was just at Marshalls in Fremont Ohio hoping to find a unique gift. But I found something completely different instead. It's upsetting to say this but as I was shopping I seen a employee walk up where about where I was shopping at and said, "She's got some nerve shopping here." I was in disbelief with her behavior and I feel her actions should be held accountable to the point a customer should be compensated.

      I will never order online from here again. They continue to ship the wrong items, in 1 shipment that came in 3 separate shipments I had 4 wrong items. The first time I called they gave me a refund even though I said I didn’t want a refund, I wanted the correct items. Nope! Made me order it again and pay the shipping then call them and try to get a refund on shipping. 2nd box arrived and one of the hoodies was a medium even though order AND receipt said small. In the same order I had pants with all the tags ripped off and thrown in the bag. I had to drive an hour and a half round trip to try to take back at the store because customer care was awful. Today I received my final box and you guessed it…wrong item. Had to go through the whole process again. That was enough for me to not ever order from there again. They need to get it together.

      I am extremely disappointed with the service at this Marshalls location - Carmel Mountain, San Diego. The staff, including the shift manager, were shockingly rude and displayed an unprofessional, "could care less" attitude. The long waits at checkout are frustrating enough, but when it was finally my turn, I stood to the right of the cash register (as there's no clear signage where customers should stand). The cashier ignored me, and took the next customer in line, and when I politely pointed this out, she didn't apologize--instead, she blamed me for standing in the "wrong spot." Her lack of awareness and basic courtesy was unbelievable. She was loud and decided to walk away and not help me.

      When I asked to speak with a manager (#1000), I was met with even worse behavior. Rather than resolving the issue, the manager was dismissive and rude. It became very clear why the cashier felt empowered to treat customers poorly--the management sets the tone. Sadly, after this experience (6/29/25 @16:27), I will not be returning to this location, and I will avoid Marshalls altogether... I'll take my business elsewhere - where there's still "we do care" attitude in place.

      The buyers for this location need to watch Marshall’s commercials for their job description. The advertisement boasts how good they are at their jobs. The Alexander City, AL location had maybe 6 women’s swimsuits in stock the second week of summer. Really?? None were my size 6-8. This store is located at a 40,000+ acre lake with thousands of vacationers annually. I had to settle for athletic wear for this visit. Do better store buyers. Read the room. Know your market.

      Tracy, Ca-Marshalls. If you are disabled this is not the place to shop… Extremely long line to check out and if you can’t physically stand stationary in the line, even though they have a chair in the corner behind the register area (public area, not employee area) it is not acceptable to sit until it is your turn. The manager is just chatting and would rather say everyone is treated the same and has to stand in line, rather than understanding that not everyone can. I don’t understand why the chair could not be an option, look and see who is at the end and once they check out, I would be after them. As a manager he was not interested in helping me in any way unless I was able to stand rather than sit.

      I only went around the perimeter of the store to avoid the area that were messy like an obstacle course. The prices of the items that I found were reasonable but I was not able to purchase them. I do like that they have carts that are high as I have trouble reaching items if I put them in a regular cart.

This was at the Marshalls at Meyerland in Houston, Texas. I was not going to complain but it’s employees like this that leave a sour experience and you rethink about shopping at the store.
