Hey Beauties!

I've been watching a few videos from YouTube where people show off their TJ Maxx and Marshalls hauls recently, just I came across one that alarmed me since it claimed that TJ Maxx was selling imitation makeup.

After existence an avid shopper at TJ Maxx and Marshalls for years at present, I've never come up across any imitation makeup while shopping there. In fact, it is extremely illegal to sell whatsoever for of fake or knock off products.IMG_4276

Selling false or knock off products are an infringement of the original brand or company'due south trademark laws of the federal government. Even if it was stated that the products were fake, admitting that the products are fake are a legal class of your ceremonious, and even possibly criminal, wrongdoings that tin be brought into courtroom.

At the very least, a huge company like TJ Maxx or Marshalls wouldn't gamble their reputation and sales only to make a few dollars off of false knockoffs.

And so, this really brings about the question, how do they really go these products and how can they sell these for such inexpensive prices?

From talking to a few of the employees from TJX, it's been revealed that the majority of the products come up from different companies who have either bought also much or made too much stock, rebranded or repackaged their products, or only needed to get rid of their excess items when they're mail service season.

Sometimes, companies like Anastasia Beverly Hills or Sephora volition overbuy products or brand mode more product than they can sell, so to avoid wasting any turn a profit and materials spent on the products, they sell them to buyers at TJX.IMG_4271

These buyers are instructed not to reveal any companies or brands that they are purchasing these products from and they can't reveal any information such as how much they bought the bulk items for, who they bought from, or how much they're going to sell information technology for. This keeps the prices low since no store will ever really know what they're getting and customers won't be able to store by brand.

Brands similar Ole Henrickson and Kat Von D accept also been going through a lot of repackaging and rebranding so their products get sold to TJ Maxx and Marshalls and so that all of the old packaging can exist taken off of the electric current shelves and be replaced with the new branding.

Too, with everything from the holidays going on clearance, the holiday packaging and the gift sets are going on sale to brand room for everything else that's coming in. Near of the items from the holidays or even just article of clothing that is deemed equally "post-season" normally gets sold to TJ Maxx so that stores tin articulate out their inventory and keep current on trends. TJ Maxx is then able to sell those items for cheaper because they're past season.IMG_3097

1 main affair to remember with TJ Maxx and Marshalls is that most of their "compare at" prices are based on the clearance prices from the original brands. This ensures that no matter what you're buying, you can know that you're getting an amazing deal on the items because the TJ Maxx and Marshalls prices tend to be lower than the original company or brand'south clearance prices.
