Needed luggage fast and cheap. Perfect for a duffel bag. Staff was friendly and gave me a little discount

So I'm a maxinista back in the states, who shops at TK's cousin store TJ, and I almost cried when I found TK the other day because we needed another suitcase and this TK maxx just saved us a boatload of money from going to a specialty suitcase store. I absolutely love our new purple hard luggage, and our Mr. And Mrs. Luggage tags my husband found there. Not to mention all the shortbread I bought as well. read more

TK Maxx - Love my new purple bag! - Outlet Stores Near Me - Swords, D

See all

Right, so the know the way that TK Maxx is great idea (cheap clothes and low prices and all that lark). But, you'll also not have failed to notice that it doesn't work out that well in practice - a scrum of people rifling through aisles and aisles of clothing, everyone getting all sweaty and bothered before they try on the t-shirt that you were thinking of buying. Eew. And the TK Maxx in the Pavilions in Swords was no different to the other ones all the other times that I've been there, except that you can't go to a nice coffee shop to recuperate afterwards, as you are in the hell that is a gargantuan suburban shopping centre, and you have to make do with a shitty and soulless Kay's Kitchen. Double eew. All of that changed earlier on today, however. For this morning (Monday) I went to TK Maxx in Swords and hardly recognised the place. There were literally only about another twenty or thirty in this vast shop, so there wasn't the usual feverish mill that one associates with the chain. I was there a little over an hour, and in that time, I managed to pick out and purchase 4 jumpers (in the summer, I know, I'm a tool. And they were all knitwear into the bargain.) Within this relatively small window, I also tried on but rejected about six t-shirts. You know when you have one of those days with the TK Maxx t-shirt aisle? Yeah, it was one of those days. This sparseness of shoppers makes sense, though: people would tend to be in town during the week, and so might stop off at TK Maxx and make it all horrible and crowded and sweaty. Whereas people only go to horrible retail monstrosities like the Pavilions at the weekends. So, if you want to stock up on your cheap designer labels, head out to 'burbs on a weekday morning and escape a little of the drudgery. read more

While I'm sure there is plenty of good quality stuff here I dislike the way they dress the shop up to look like a messy Guineys store but with expensive price tags. They are not the inexpensive store they claim to be. I picked up a Christmas gift which had a RRP of 33€ but on sale at TK Maxx for €24! Yea right, go across to Dunnes Stores and you could get something similar for half that price. read more

It's a traditional custom to do the classic TK Maxx 'rolling up of sleeves' maneuver. The next thiing you've to do is to begin trawling through the huge amounts of shirts, jeans, hoodies and blazers, garnering papercuts from tags and minor burns from ferociously dragging denim from the very back of rails. Despite their massive stock and their low prices it's not really worth your while as the suff varies from alright to hideously tacky. But if you're lookin for cheap shoes or bags, it's your only man. read more

My Ratings: Quantity: 4 - Great Quality: 4 - Great Price: 4 - Affordable Location: 4 - Nice Service: 4 - Good Speed: 4 - Good Overall: Great Selection, Great Price! My Opinion/Story: I think if I lived in Dublin, this would be my favorite store. I love shopping here because of the affordable price and excellent quality. I like this store and enjoyed looking for items to buy. I found lots of items I want to get for really affordable price but I can't get them all. I did manage to get some items for my family. read more

What I like about this TK Maxx in comparison to the others I have visited is that the cosmetic/ beauty section including bath and shower products is far larger and thus much more impressive. In amidst of all of the strewn clothes and renowned TK Maxx pandamonium the beauty section quietly prevails. The bath and shower products on offer are exceptionally pleasant with Baylis and Harding hand wash and cream available as well as 'Somerset' shower gel, body scrubs and creams, soothing 'Karmalife' lotion, Natural Spa shampoo and conditioners, 'English Rose' soaps, Karen Neuburger face moisturiser and many more all at wholesale prices, which are on average 55% less than you would pay elsewhere. Funnily enough all of the brands appear to have names with an English heritage ring about them to further bestow that sense of affluence onto proceedings. This section of the store really does enthuse material comfort with it also boasting a wide selection of scented candles beside 'John Rocha for Waterford Crystal' tealight holders, popular perfumes such as Burberry and Elizabeth Arden as well as laminated cosmetic bags and Super Spa scrub Sets. The only thing of course, in the same way that a lot of their clothes are designer 'duds' and victim to ill-treatment on account of all the furious rummaging that goes on the packaging is often dented, but the actual product inside remains fine. You either leave the store after five seconds owing to the intimidation brought about as a result of the sizeable (and some may say too disorderly) assortment of stuff all packed together onto the racks or you're in there for hours (again on account of there being so much clutter to get through - seen as an endearing challenge for the more dedicated shopper). The clutter can get on my nerves but when you unearth an absolute gem or something for outstanding value that is impossible to pass up all is forgiven, and it is at these special moments that you appreciate all of the unique (if not random) goods TK Maxx has to offer. read more

I think it's important to remember that when you go to TK Maxx you need to give yourself plenty of time to root through the rails and rails of clothes. As I have made time on several occasions to trawl through those jam packed rails I have come up with some great winners from Prada to Paul Costello and See by Chole to Donna Karan Diesel Jeans etc etc and all at incredible prices. However, one thing to remember is go in with an open mind. There are terrific bargains to be found. When your finished shopping you can have a delicious coffee in one of 7 or 8 different coffee shops or restaurants eg.Starbucks,Butlers,BB's etc etc.. read more
