I tend to prefer Marshalls over TJ Maxx due to availability of deals and quicker lines. This location in Harlem was surprisingly better stocked than the ones in Brooklyn and going early, it was a much smoother and pleasant shopping experience. The shelves were more organised, the lines were shorter, and the prices were the same, if not better. The only thing is that there's no bathroom inside (that I could find) and there are cops inside, so that might change you're experience.

On the whole, it's well stocked.. that is within the normal Marshalls/TJ Maxx goods they sell. One issue at this location, the checkout - which makes you serpentine through a maze - is often slow with needed additional staffing. That being said, would much rather shop at Marshalls here than Burlington across the street!

I happened to be on 125th Street and noticed that Banana Republic was having a 50% off sale, plus…read morean additional 15% off. Everything in the store was well organized and perfectly structured. Once I made my selections I proceeded to checkout. I was greeted by Raymond and drawn to the color of his hair, but his level of customer service is phenomenal, he gave me great advice on the clothing, along with styling tips. He also convinced me to apply for the BR credit card and I was awarded extra discounts. His manager Carla was extremely helpful as well. This was a great experience and I look forward to shopping there again. Thanks, Raymond & Carla for being courteous, professional, and patient.

I work in the area and figure I'd pop in for a sweater due to the fluctuations in the weather. Both time entering the store the gentleman at the from door didn't greet me, the staff didn't ask if I needed help, and the cashiers only push the "store credit card" agenda.... if uninterested then their enthusiasm returns to zero. Prices are very low so I guess it reflects the level of service but come on people. Service: 1/5 Size availability: 2/5 Prices: 4/5

I was so excited for the grand opening of the first Zara store in the Bronx! The new Zara is taking…read moreover the old Ulta and Forever 21 space. A generous amount of property. I knew from the community shared initial floor plans and development pictures that the store would be spacious and very modern but, they took the cake! The sleek design, and organization of the store makes it easy to navigate and find your gender and age zones, while still being able to navigate easily from adults to kids. New technology allows you to self checkout, with the help of staff, where you place your items on a weighted scale and the register automatically rings up your items without having to scan each item. Very cool. I haven't seen that technology anywhere else. Given the huge space, there is a wide variety of selection of items and the perfume section is heavenly and beautifully displayed.

My wife, teenage daughter, and I visited Zara on a Saturday evening around 7:40 PM. While my wife…read moreand daughter were enjoying shopping, trying on clothes, and selecting items, I was tired and decided to sit on a sofa located in the middle of the store. I spent about 30 minutes there quietly using my phone while they continued shopping. At approximately 8:20 PM, a security guard approached me and told me that the store would be closing in 10 minutes. Naturally, I understood that to mean the store was closing at 8:30 PM. Wanting to make sure my family had enough time to complete their purchases, I called my wife and told her to wrap things up, pay for the items, and meet me outside. I then left the store and waited for them outside. However, because of the long checkout line, my wife and daughter were still inside around 8:40 PM. While waiting, I noticed that customers were continuing to enter the store and that the same security guard was not stopping them. That's when I realized the store was actually scheduled to close at 9:00 PM on Saturdays, not 8:30 PM. Confused, I approached the security guard and asked, "Didn't you tell me 20 minutes ago that the store was closing in 10 minutes?" I was genuinely trying to understand the situation. Rather than providing an explanation, he repeatedly said, "Excuse me." Not understanding what he meant, I responded, "Yes?" expecting him to answer my question. Instead, he replied that when he says "excuse me," it means I should get out of his way so he can continue doing his job. At that point, the issue became much bigger than a misunderstanding about store hours. First, I was given inaccurate information that caused me to leave the store unnecessarily. Then, when I politely asked for clarification, I was met with a dismissive and rude attitude. What makes this even more frustrating is that if the security guard felt I had been sitting in the store too long, he could have simply approached me and politely explained that seating was intended for customers actively shopping, or asked me to wait outside. I would have gladly complied. I am a respectful person and would have had no issue with a reasonable request. Instead, I was misled about the store closing time and then treated disrespectfully when I sought clarification. My wife and daughter eventually came out excited about all the items they had purchased, but after what had happened, I told them we would be returning everything and taking our business elsewhere. This interaction turned what should have been a pleasant family shopping trip into one of the worst retail experiences I have had. Zara should ensure that employees and contracted security personnel provide accurate information to customers and treat them with professionalism and respect.

I've heard their return policy is a little challenging as well although I've never had to return anything. I've purchased many hoodies and shirts and haven't had any issues. Great store!

Since it has less stock in each category compared to the larger Marshalls store one long block away, I end up here when not finding exactly what I want there. That being said, the staff has been very friendly, plus I never had an issue at this TJ Maxx with a long line wait like often happens at that Marshalls or the similarly nearby, horrendous, messy, understaffed (especially at checkout) Burlington.

Unfortunately, the overall experience was really frustrating.

It made browsing stressful instead of enjoyable. The biggest issue was the checkout line. It was wrapped around multiple times. After seeing how long it was I ended up leaving my items & walking out empty-handed.
