Here’s how Ross describes the store’s pricing pledge:

“We want you to shop with more information, so many of our products include a comparison price. The comparison price represents a recent documented selling price of the same or similar product in full-price department stores or specialty stores. Where identical products are not available we may compare to similar products and styles. Prices charged for the compared to products may change over time, but our goal is to provide you with a useful comparison point of what you may have paid in a competitive store, so you can be sure you are getting a great bargain when you shop at Ross.”

Some items are irregular

While most of the merchandise at T.J. Maxx, Marshalls and Ross is not irregular, they do stock some items that aren’t perfect. Ross mentions this on the price tag, and they have stickers to point out the imperfections.

Get it while it lasts

Ross says it works with manufacturers to deliver the best brands and latest styles. New merchandise is delivered to stores “almost every day,” but there’s no guarantee that what you see today will be there tomorrow.

And if you find an item you love at one Ross location, it might not be in stock at another.
