Marshalls Sales FAQ

1

When does Marshalls have its biggest clearance events?

Marshalls runs its deepest markdowns during the “yellow tag” clearance windows, widely reported to happen twice yearly—around early January and again in July. These events clear out seasonal inventory with final markdowns.

You'll also find ongoing clearance year-round in every department, with new markdowns added weekly.

2

What do the different colored price tags at Marshalls mean?

White tags are regular prices. Red stickers signal clearance items with moderate discounts. Yellow tags represent final clearance—the deepest markdowns before items leave the floor.

Tip: Some shoppers look for the week number printed on tags to track how long an item has been in-store; older items are more likely to get marked down soon.
3

What's the best day and time to shop at Marshalls for deals?

Weekday mornings, especially Wednesday through Friday, give you the freshest inventory. Stores restock overnight and throughout the week, so arriving mid-morning means cleaner aisles and better selection.

4

Are Marshalls prices the same online and in-store?

No. Marshalls.com and physical stores have separate inventory and pricing. An item might cost $16.99 in-store and $12.99 online (or vice versa).

The stores don't price-match their own website or other locations. If you spot a better deal online, you'll need to order separately—in-store purchases won't be adjusted.

5

Does Marshalls offer free shipping online?

Marshalls.com occasionally runs free shipping promotions when you spend over $89. Without a promo, standard shipping starts at $9.99 for orders under $89, and slightly higher for orders above that threshold.

Alaska and Hawaii orders face higher shipping costs. Watch for limited-time free shipping offers during holidays.

6

Can I get a price adjustment if an item I bought goes on clearance?

No. Marshalls does not offer price adjustments on items that get marked down after you purchase them. Their official policy states they don't adjust prices for clearance merchandise.

If you're unhappy, you can return the item within 30-40 days (check your receipt) and repurchase it at the lower price, but there's no guarantee it'll still be in stock.

7

Are sale and clearance items at Marshalls lower quality than regular stock?

No. Clearance items are the same products—just past-season colors, overstock, or styles being phased out. Marshalls buys surplus and closeouts from brands, so everything arrives already discounted.

The yellow and red tags simply mean the store wants to clear space faster, not that the item is defective or inferior.

8

How long does an item stay at Marshalls before it gets marked down further?

Items usually sit for several weeks before hitting red clearance, then another few weeks before yellow final clearance. Each store follows a markdown schedule, and items are tracked by the week number on the price tag.

Tip: If you see an item you want on yellow clearance, grab it—it may be pulled from the floor within days if it doesn't sell.
9

Do all Marshalls stores carry the same sale items and deals?

No. Each store receives different inventory based on size, location, and buyer decisions. A suburban Marshalls might stock more home goods, while an urban location focuses on apparel and accessories.

Sale items and clearance availability vary wildly between stores, so visiting multiple locations can uncover different finds.

10

Can I ask for a discount on damaged or imperfect items at Marshalls?

Yes, but it's not guaranteed. If you spot a damaged box, small scratch, or missing button, politely ask a manager if they can adjust the price. Approach it calmly—”This has a small scratch; could you check if the price can be reduced?”

Many managers will offer 10-20% off, especially on bulky or home goods items. This doesn't work on items already marked “as-is.”
