    I am so not satisfied and very angry. I went and had my hair done blonde a few months ago. Well, she was supposed to touch up the roots for me and the colors didn't even match in the end but it wasn't too bad. I didn't care for it that much but I kept it for a little while and ended up doing it a med toned brown here at home. About a month later, I decided to give JC Penney another shot with my hair. It was only $85 when I got my hair bleached and cut last time, so I decided to go in and keep it a darker tone this time and told her to just work her magic. She kept the dark that I had and added a little red tone to it and like three blonde streaks in the back. I thought it looked good.

    Okay, when I was leaving, I went to the counter to pay and they charged me $120! And my hair is super, super short and it didn't take as long as it did last time. I have never paid that much to even bleach my hair when it was long. I think that's crazy, crazy as short as it is. I have before and after pictures too. I had residue all on my forehead too when I got home a minute ago. I just got through scrubbing my face. I used the JC Penney in the mall in Longview, TX store #304, transaction # **. I will not even be buying anything from JC Penney anymore nor will my friends and family. I had a friend that is coming down next week and I was going to take her there to get her hair cut, instead I will find somewhere else. That's crazy. I'm willing to email you the pics as well!

    I placed an online order for a bistro table & chairs set on April 3 to be delivered to our home. After many phone calls, the delivery date was finally scheduled for today, April 25. This morning, before the delivery time, I received a call from the delivery driver asking me to meet the truck in a town that is 28 miles from our home to get the order.

    I admit I had a past due balance but when I have to listen to two different people that can hardly speak English at all, it reminds me as to why I will not be doing business with your company any longer. Give the job to an American that can speak English. I apologize for letting my bill go past due. You will not have to worry about my bill ever again because of the people a customer has to try and speak with when they call. It's my fault for being late with my payment, your fault for losing my business.

    I have been trying to contact Penney's by e-mail about my order for the last two days. I want to make sure that I have a king size blanket, as it does not state this on the order confirmation. I have tried seven times by e-mail only to have it returned. I don't know how to contact you as I only have a 1800 number but because I live in Australia, I don't know the correct prefix before the number. I tried to complain on your site but it does not recognize my post code (being in Australia) and it does not submit. I also do not like your new format on the site, as it takes too long to get around the site, and when I go to my shopping bag, they say it is empty. I liked the way I ordered before these changes occurred. Could you please contact me by e-mail?

    Salon-Prescott, Gateway Mall: I have a weekly standing appointment to have my hair done. They have currently set the temperature too cold, and the manager said it is controlled at the corporate location and it can't be changed at the store. Some of the hair stylists are having to wear a sweater, and I have started to take a sweater, as I did today. Next week, I get a perm; and the following week, I will be getting color. It is very uncomfortable to be sitting in the cold temperature with wet hair. I have seen in the past that a maintenance person adjusted the thermostat. I believe that the store manager is refusing to have this done currently. I can't understand why the manager would not want customers to be comfortable and happy.

    On July 8, 2011, I had a JC Penney's interior decorator come out to my house to help me with new window treatments for my first home. I informed the decorator that I wanted a contemporary look, but I would need her guidance since I did not have any interior decorating experience. She went through a list of everything that I would need and the total came out to over $4500. Since I did not know any better, I made the purchase. I was told my new window treatments for my home (I did 4 rooms) would arrive in 8-10 weeks. Nearly 3.5 months later, some of my order arrived. The color of the blinds blended in with my wallpaper in the kitchen and looked monotone and awful. The blinds in the office that face in front of my home looked awful from the outside of the house because the color did not match. The drapes in the family room were okay, but at this point, still no drapes for the front room.

    A month later (4.5 months after the order), the drapes for the front room came in. There was a horrible cornice in this crimson red fabric with these horrible yellow gold thick shears and draw strings to pull them open. The fabric was totally different from the fabric swatches that I was shown. This looked like something that belonged in an old 1970's hotel. What happened to contemporary? The decorator was lost in 1970 I think. JC Penney's manager did send out another decorator to redo the horrible mess that the original decorator created. I got all of my blinds switched out to the correct color, however, this process took another 3 months! I was told the new order would be expedited. It still took 3 months to get the new drapes. The decorator spent no time looking at the fabric. She picked out one book, one sample and said this is it, like she was just trying to rush me along.

    The new drapes, when they arrived 3 months later, were awful. I did not even have the installer finish. So now we are in February 2012 (8 months after initial order!). I requested a refund. It is now April 2012 and I am just getting my refund. However, the refund is incorrect. I also have had to take time out of my schedule to constantly email or call the manager because I keep getting ignored. Not only did I go through all of this hell, but I overpaid by almost $3000 and JC Penney is still has not refunded me the correct amount of money. This experience with JC Penney has been the worst purchasing experience of my life! I have never felt so taken advantage of by a company ever!

    I bought an Alfred Dunner blouse at Herbergers today for $18.20. I priced the exact same blouse at JCP and it was $40. I use to shop Penney's for Alfred Dunner but will no longer shop there. Your prices are a joke. I liked it much more when you had your $10 and $15 off spending so much. I am a very good shopper and know prices. Your new pricing system is awful. If you don't believe me, send a secret shopper to Herbergers. Their Alfred Dunner was 50% off plus allowed to use an additional 30% off coupon. You do the math. I am really disappointed. I'll shop at Herbergers now and not bother even going to Penney's.

    I am very disappointed with JC Penney customer service. I had to call them five times. I wrote uncountable numbers of emails and still no one can answer where my order is. I am writing to them since 2nd of March. I was calling five times. I made two orders. One finally came, but where is the other? I made this order for my vacation. I will have to go without swimsuit. Thanks, JCP. Terrible service. My mood is awful. Thank you for the destroyed vacation. I made my order on 24th of February. It's the first time we have to cancel it because of my visa. I can't insert my good visa number in website.

    Then my order was canceled without any explanations. I ordered again. The week of silence, then the week writing emails and calling to credit card service because they can't separate shipping address from billing address and need some kind of my bank letters with address confirmation. Then I'm waiting for the shipping because some items became backordered and JCP have to find them in different shops. And finally, after delaying for a month, I will receive a part of my order today. So can you tell me why items after ordering aren't put in shopping cart and after paying aren't sent to customer immediately like in all normal shops? Why do I have to wait a week to pay then a week while they will find items in different shops? Some of them became backordered! Too many mistakes, don't you think so? It's not the first time, but the last I am buying in JCP shop. I am waiting from 24 of Feb, it's now 4th April. I want to complain about such terrible service.

    I was so excited about the new J.C. Penney, until now. I ordered a mattress set, bed frame, dresser, night stand, and headboard from them. I was expecting guests and needed the items for my spare room. When I realized the mattress would not even ship until after my guests had left, I cancelled it. I ordered and received a mattress from a competitor in three days.

    The frame, dresser and night stand were in stock when I placed the order. Yesterday, when I called, everything was fine and on schedule. Today, I learned that the furniture has not even left the JCP warehouse to ship to the trucking company for delivery. Three days to go before company arrives and still no furniture. I had to cancel everything. Now, I have to wait for a refund to go and purchase furniture elsewhere! Save yourself the frustration of ordering from JCP and spend your money where you can actually receive what you order. Never again JCP!

    I tried filing this complaint a few days ago, but it does not seem like it went through. I went online to check my account status on my J.C. Penney account because I had some problems with an order that I had placed back in December. I had ordered a pendant and it was never received. I advised J.C. Penney of this several times and they insisted that FedEx had delivered it. They supposedly sent a replacement which I never received and once again they claimed it was delivered. I requested a copy of the signature that should have proven delivery and they were unable to provide it. They promised they would credit my account and instead charged me again for the pendant.

    After several attempts to solve this issue, I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. They contacted them and they finally credited the amount back to my account. Evidently, the emails I sent them complaining about this issue prompted a backlash, as when I logged into my account, I noted immediately that my name had been tampered with.

    My online account was opened under my full name Linda J. **. However, when I logged on this time, it showed Linda **. I showed this to my husband and my daughter and they both agreed that it is a derogatory term to get back at me. I went into my profile to try to correct my name and I am unable to do so. I can only access address, phone and bank information which confirmed my suspicion that someone went into my account and tampered with my name.

    I have taken several photographs of this as proof, should they go back in and correct it. I feel violated and I am in fear that they will tamper with other things in my account. I would like this investigated and the person responsible to be prosecuted. I am fully intent on pressing charges. If this is not something you can handle, please direct me to the proper agencies who can handle this. Thank you.

    I hate the new pricing that JC Penney recently implemented. All of my coworkers, family and friends feel the same way. I used to love JC Penney. I went shopping there on a weekly basis. Unfortunately, that will not be the case anymore. I'm going to miss this store as well as many others too. I hope the CEO or whoever made these changes will change things back to the way they were or at least improve the pricing! I predict that many stores especially in my small community area will be closing if something does not change. Listen to your customers! Thank you.

    I ordered a pendant from the J.C. Penney catalog in December. The pendant was never received, and after several complaints, we went back and forth, and in the end, they charged me because FedEx claimed they had delivered it. I had to finally send a complaint to the BBB, who investigated and found that there was never a delivery confirmation, or my signature for receipt of this missing pendant. They finally credited my account back for the charge, after the BBB contacted them.

    Tonight, when I went online to pay for my account, I was shocked to see that my J.C. Penney account had been tampered with. My last name on the welcome page had a "BS" in front of it, which I take it to mean **. I have seen my name on the welcome page many times, and this is the first time I noted the BS in front of it. I have taken a picture of it as proof, should they quickly fix it and try to make me out to be a liar. This is against the law, and I would like the person responsible to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, for illegally accessing my account without my permission. The emails I sent regarding the pendant have replies from a T. **. Whether this is the person responsible, I do not know.

    Where do I begin? I have been dealing with this issue since December. My original purchase was $300 and to date, I have probably paid five times that amount. I closed my account in December and requested a due date change because the due date didn't fall on my pay week. I was told if I paid for December and January, they could change it and this what I did. When it came time for me to pay in December, I had more late fees because guess what, it wasn't changed. At that time, the woman waived the late fee and once again reassured me that in March, she was going to change the date to the 20th since I get paid on the 15th and usually do bill pay. I confirmed that three to four times before getting off the phone. Well, I called to pay JC Penney directly today and spoke with a Patty who said that they didn't change my due date because it was $5 short. Why was I reassured in December and February but yet still nothing has been changed. I spoke to the supervisor named Jerry, who wouldn't give me his last name but all he said is "Is there anything else I can help you with?" He didn't investigate, listen to the tapes where I had called in or anything. Then he said, "Have a good day." I said, "Are you serious?" I am appalled, angry and frustrated. You are definitely collecting in late charges and I have paid and paid. Help!

    I have been a very loyal customer of J.C. Penney for years. I would visit our local JCP store almost every week. JCP was my favorite and first place to shop. But not now! Now that the CEO changed the ways of JCP with his new "pricing," my shopping experience has also changed drastically. I haven't been in the store since February, when the new pricing implementation took effect till this past weekend when my husband and I decided to stop to browse.

    This was the first time my husband had been in the store since the change. He has always liked to shop for his clothes here, and he also was in shock. We purchased 3 polos for him which costs us $60+. In the old days, those same shirts would have cost us at least $20 less with our coupon savings and rewards we would received by doing the survey on the back of our receipt. St. John's Bay polos used to be around $10-$15 when on sale. Now, an SJB polo's regular everyday price is $20. How is that fair and square?

    I love to shop for bargains and with coupons and sales. JC Penney was a great place to shop. The new ads being sent out to our homes and in our local newspaper is a joke--not enjoyable to look at and in my opinion, the layout looks like JPC spends a "mint" on this type of advertising booklet. I usually throw them in the trash because there's no point to looking at them. The new pricing program in my opinion is a big mistake!

    JC Penney has lost a big portion of my business. I might occasionally go in there to browse, but my Platinum JCP card will probably be knocked back down to the standard Red by the end of the year, because my annual spending will be decreased. And it looks like Kohl's is my new favorite place to shop for bargains, ads, and rewards with coupons!

    I hate the new pricing. I have shopped at J.C. Penney for years. It was my number one store for my home decorating needs also, bedding, rugs, etc. I ordered many items from the catalogs. Now J.C. Penney's has stopped sending out catalogs. Since the new pricing, everything costs a lot more and your store inventory has been reduced to a small selection. I believe the changes have made it clear that J.C. Penney's no longer wants any money from senior citizens. Senior Citizens needed the catalogs and we're good customers. Senior Citizens needed the coupon sales to save due to fixed incomes. Again, Senior Citizens are very good customers. You have made it clear; you no longer want our money.

    I went shopping on the 3rd (Friday). I did not see any special deals. There weren’t any signs about any type of deals. The selection of clothing was slim to none. The store itself felt deserted like a ghost town. This store was always my go-to store. When I received coupons, I went much more often than I do now. In fact, I don't even think of JCP as an option any longer. It is a shame to see my favorite retail store going down the tubes.

    I made a purchase of a $25.00 and paid with my credit card to get the discount, not realizing that when I moved to a new home, I did not give them my new address because I very seldom shopped there. I realized you are to notify credit cards about an address change, but JC Penney had my phone number and never tried calling me. My phone number has been the same forever.

    So I recently tried to get something with my credit and found out that they ruined it. I have had the best credit all my life, and it took them nothing to ruin it for me.

    I have been a loyal customer of J.C. Penney's for years and have been happy with their products and prices. But since the beginning of the year, when they stopped with the sales and coupons, I have been disappointed. They have taken the prices up on items that I know used to be cheaper, and I don't see no sale within the prices that they have now. I think they will be losing a lot of customers behind this new change. Before, I could see the savings and now, there is none. They need to go back to where they were before because a lot of their products are no longer of good quality either. I don't want to pay a higher amount for a bad quality product.

    For years, I have shopped at JCP using the generous coupons, getting ideas from the ads in the paper and brochures that were sent to me. I always bought extra items to make sure the dollars off amount was met, paying in cash. With your new cost saving way of doing business, i.e. pricing and lack of brochures and coupons, I have not purchased anything at all at JCP. Perhaps this new system works for you but not for me.

    I was at the J.C. Penney in Glendale Galleria, Glendale, CA and the service was horrible. Penney's supposedly has a policy that allows customers to return a purchase even without a receipt, but it’s not enforced equally. I tried to return a pair of sneakers that were uncomfortable and made my feet hurt. The manager, Sonia, refused to return them! Then they told me some story about needing an ID for exchanges. This is nowhere stated in their new return policy online or in-store.

    The sales woman said they use the ID to actually collect personal information on the customers for credit reporting and marketing. She said it was up to the manager to override the ID function if they wanted. Right next to me, a customer returned a purse with no receipt and they didn't ask her for an ID. I think this practice is tricky and not straight forward. They should disclose that some items can't be returned if there is no receipt and that an ID is required which they use to collect personal information. Also, if you're going to have a policy, enforce it equally, all the time for every customer, shame on J.C. Penney for not being honest.

    Well, I did just that. The problem is that when I called back the photographer who was helping me, he had already gone home. It is funny how she never mentioned that to me in the studio. Well, the person who answered the phone ended up giving me a different total than what my photographer had given me. I explained that the photographer had given me a different total. This person proceeded to tell me that my calculations we're wrong! How is that possible? I didn't work up the total; the JCP employee did. She gave me the total. Not the other way around!

    She then had the audacity to tell me, "You're the same guy who always has problems here, huh?" They dropped my baby, and I'm the troublemaker! I'm not sure this person even knew what had happened to my son. If so, she has some nerve! After this, I don't think I'll ever go to JCP portraits again. It's a shame, because I did like them. The thing was I was ready to forgive the photographer for the incident, but then her coworker had to go and add insult to injury, literally!

    New Pricing: I have been a very loyal customer of JC Penney’s. I love to shop for bargains and with coupons and sales; JC Penney was a great place to shop. The new pricing program they offer is hardly fair and square pricing. Most of the items I used to buy are now about 25% more. I have bought my son a pair of Nike black high-top tennis shoes at (2) different times (same shoe) and paid about $25 with sales and coupons. These shoes are priced at $42, how is that fair and square? I picked up a Worthington blouse last week and it was priced fair and square at $40. Of course I immediately put it down. Now every 1st and 3rd Fridays, they have items that are discounted to $5 and under.

    I went on my lunch hour last Friday and the "discount" racks were bare. I saw people with heaving loads of clothes and heard a couple say that they were going to resell on eBay. If you don't get to the store when it opens, then good luck getting any deals. Now JC Penney has to compete with eBay? What an idiot this new CEO and her stupid idea of fair/square pricing. JC Penney has lost my business. I might occasionally go in there to browse, but my annual spend will go from $2000 to $200. Good Luck to you, JC Penney, because you will need it. Kohl's is my new favorite place to shop for bargains.

So I called Sharon twice leaving her a message that I thought my window was 1-3 pm and if she would confirm the new time with me of 9-11am. I had a doctor's appointment for 10:30 on 3/3 and I had to cancel that. Never did Sharon call me back to confirm the new or the original scheduled appointment so I got annoyed.

    I went to J.C. Penney at the Valley View Mall in Dallas, Texas to purchase a wedding ring. I was looking at rings and waited for the sales lady to help me since she was helping another customer. When she was finished, she came over and brought out some rings for me to try on. As I was standing there, I was still trying to decide what ring I wanted to purchase. Then a customer came up and I said to the sales lady that I just needed a minute or two to decide what other ring I would like to try on. So, the sales lady left me and helped the customer get a bunch of necklaces and other things. I was left to stand there for over 20 minutes and finally, I told the sales lady that I had no idea she would just leave me alone for a long amount of time.

    The sales lady told me she was helping this customer before she ever waited on me and that I had to stand in line and wait. The problem is that the sales lady never informed me that she would leave me on my own and now go help someone else. When I asked her if there was another sales person that could help me she said "no". Then the women she was helping started saying things to me like " I was here first and you will just have to wait your turn". So, I left and asked for the manager and it took a while to find a manager but finally one came over and I told her the story about what had just taken place.

    As I was telling her the story, the other customer that had told me I had to wait for my turn walked up and started arguing with me. I could not believe this. I was trying to talk with the manager and this customer was interrupting me and would not let me talk. Finally, I said please let me say something and the manager told me to lower my voice in the store. I just stared at the manager and finally just walked out of J.C. Penney's. It was like being in a bad dream. What has happened to Penney's? My grandmother, my mother and now me plus my sisters and brother (we are all in our fifties and sixties) have shopped at Penney's since the 50's. This store had very few people in it and it was like a ghost town with very few sales people. I will never return to that Penney's and if I have to go through that again, I will just tear up my J.C.

    Horrible Customer Service: I purchased Ardell Floor Cabinet (catalog number RN775-7717) online from JC Penney. The box arrived in poor condition. Upon opening it, I found that the glass in the door was broken. There were two strips of tape over the broken glass. This leads me to assume that it was marked by the manufacturer as defective; however, it was still added to the box and shipped. I contacted JC Penney customer service. I asked for a replacement door. They stated that they could not provide a replacement door; however, I could return the cabinet to a JC Penney store or mail it back and re-order.

    Since it arrived damaged, I did not want to re-order as the craftsmanship was poor all around, and I asked that JC Penney pay to have a shipper come back to my residence to pick up the damaged item. After 2 days of communicating with JC Penney customer service, they finally provided a prepaid UPS label; however, they refused to pay for UPS to come to my residence to pick up the package. They said I would have to take it to a UPS facility to ship it back or pay for the scheduled pick up. They kept repeating that I was a "valued JC Penney customer" and they valued my loyalty. I told them that obviously I was not a "valued JC Penney customer", and they did not value my patronage with this insanely poor customer service.

    It is sad that I had to spend two days with their customer service team just to get a prepaid UPS label to ship it back. It is even sadder that they would not fork over $8.00 to come pick up this online purchase. Instead, they wanted me to drive all over the city to find a JC Penney store or UPS facility. If I wanted to purchase a floor cabinet in a store, I would have done so. I did not due to my schedule. This is why I purchased it online. It is bad customer service to have your customer fork over money to return an item that was delivered damaged. In addition to all the mayhem, I have to wait until it is received by JC Penney's returns facility to receive a refund on this purchase. I will never shop with JC Penney again.

    I had my eyes examined on 12-22-2012 at JC Penny Optical in Modesto, CA. I had an eye exam and the doctor gave me a pair of contacts and I bought two boxes. Well, I went to work the next day driving 40 minutes each way to work and I can't see correctly. As the day passed, I was getting a headache so I called my sister and asked her to drive and bring me my old pair of contacts. I literally could barely see the exits on the freeway. She brought me my old contacts and I called JC Penny Optical and told them I could not see with those contacts. They said they would have a trial pair, come pick them up and see if they work. When I got there, I looked at the prescription of the trial pair and it was one step down than the one's I had on. I asked them why they would give me a pair that was not as strong as the contacts I can't see with? They told me that is what the doctor gave them and they were astigmatism contacts.

    So my prescription last year was astigmatism and the prescription was not astigmatism, but now I received a lower power strength contacts with astigmatism. I did not even take them. The girls said they would talk to the doctor. They called and said we have another trial pair for you to try and if these do not work, we will have to reschedule an eye exam. They said these contacts were the same prescription as last year. I thought that would probably work. After wearing those for about 2 days, I had headaches and I could barely blink because my eyes hurt so bad. I found my prescription from last year from the same doctor at JC Penny and the trial pair is not the same as my last year's prescription.

    The unfortunate part besides suffering with migraines, can't see and having it affect every aspect of my life for 2 months, they used my insurance for the year. I had to pay out of pocket approximately $300.00 to go to another doctor and get the correct prescription. I have to also pay out of pocket for the contacts I am going to order also. I am a single parent who works at a high impact job, who does not need to be a guinea pig.

Apparently, there is no longer any customer service department, and I was told to take the jeans back to the men's department. I explained the problem to the clerk. He then called the department manager. This gentleman just sort of stared at me, like what did I expect him to do about it. There was no apology for the poor quality, and no offer to help me get them replaced. This jerk made me so mad, I just left the store. When I got home I emailed the customer service department. Their first response said: "we realize no apology we make can compensate for your disappointment and we look forward to serving you more satisfactorily in the future".

    I emailed back that I expected some effort to get me a replacement pair of jeans. They responded that they were notifying the store manager, and he would get in touch with me. That was 6 weeks ago. I have emailed them a couple more times, that the manager has never called me. They stopped responding. I then wrote to their corporate office. Also, I got no response.

Now the price of the shawl is $15 and the price of the wrap is $12 and is also sold in the store. I went back to the store and I was willing to keep the wrap, I just wanted the price difference back. A whole $3.21.

    First the customer service lady gave me a refund before I could explain what I wanted the difference in change. Then she told me I'd have to order the shawl all over again and wait again. I told her I wanted to keep the wrap and just wanted the change back. She said in order for me to do that, I'd have to order the wrap again instead of keeping the one I already got. She said the wrap was $15. I had to show her on the computer that the wrap was $12 and the shawl was $15. She even suggested that "I pressed the wrong button" when I placed my order. I showed her my order email showing that I ordered the shawl and somehow it changed to wrap when I got an order update. So she was making it seem like I didn't know what I was talking about and called manager #1.

    Now manager #1 said I could get the difference, but had no idea to make that work for a catalog item. Here comes manager #2, he, too, didn't know who to sell me the wrap for the correct price. In the end they managed to get me a refund on my first purchase of the shawl and I had to pay for the wrap out of pocket. This entire episode took about an hour when it should have taken no more than five minutes. I will never order out of their catalog again.

    I wanted the shawl for a formal event and the wrap is decent substitution, but being treated like I'm the wrong and that I don't know what I'm talking about is really insulting in the least!

    I am disgusted by the new pricing policy that JC Penney has instituted. I have been a loyal JC Penney customer for 20 years but I will no longer be shopping there and I will be shredding my JC Penney card!

    As the mother of 4 children, I have always been on a very tight budget, but I was able to 'stretch my dollar' by shopping at JC Penney. The sales, exceptional clearance prices and coupons were a frugal way to clothe my children and myself. There is no way that the new 'fair and square' pricing policy is going to save me money. Before this was instituted, I was often able to buy brand new jeans for under $5, t-shirts for under $2, and even winter jackets for under $10!

    People have been complaining that they didn't understand the old pricing, the percentages off, or the coupons, and they didn't know if they were getting a good deal. All it took was some very simple math, or a calculator to work it out, and anybody who knows the cost of clothes would realize they were getting a deal.

    At first I couldn't understand why JC Penney was changing their pricing and then I found out that an ex Apple CEO was running the company. Apple is an elitist company! I cannot afford to buy any of their products and have never stepped foot into one of their stores. Apple carefully controls the prices of all their products and won't allow retailers to set their own price. This might work when you've concerned the market with a specialized item; convinced consumers that they can't do without it; and sue companies who dare to develop products that might be competitive, (Apple suing Samsung), but JC Penney sells clothes and housewares!

    Obviously, no longer having my patronage will be of no concern to this company, but I still wanted to express my disgust with their new pricing policies and their smug and condescending attitude to loyal customers such as myself. I will be taking my business to stores such as Kohl's.

    I went to the store to buy hair product. I asked a store associate for help and he told me they don’t sell hair product and suggested I should go to Wal-Mart but I was told they do, so I kept looking. Finally, found the salon.

    I wasted my good half hour to look for because my wife knew they sell hair products but the clerk didn't ask the manager where it was. She was so rude. The customer service sucks in J.C. Penney. I am done shopping in J.C. Penney.

    I give praise to JC Penney for being different and taking a positive stand, holding their ground. I myself am a mother of a lesbian daughter who is a wonderful, successful,educated woman with good family values. The plus side, she and her wife have a network of friends made up of lesbian, gay, and heterosexual households which I have been privy to seeing the center of their lifestyle.

    Most are very organized, very family-oriented, focusing on enhancing the quality of educational programs available for their children, and the funds needed to accommodate their children in the future. As for the Epic T-shirt fail: "I'm too pretty to do my homework so my brother has to do it for me", so what!? I wouldn't buy it nor would my "lesbian daughter". But that doesn't mean that someone out there might think it to be cute.

    I'm not sure how often my family shop a JC Penney's but you can trust that I will go out of my way to shop at your store! From now on. Oh and shame on you all for talking bad about Ellen D. and any of her supporter. Because you know "God don't like ugly!". Now this would be a t-shirt I would buy. How about it JC Penney's?

    I've been a customer of JC Penney for more than 8 years. I recently ran into financial problems and had missed a payment on my account. My account may be 45 days or less overdue. JC Penney has this automated phone service that has called me excessively up to at least ten times a day. The calls start at 7:30 or 8:00am and go until 8:00 or 9:00pm every night. Occasionally the automated call will leave a message asking me to contact a JCP representative but mostly it just calls every hour.

    As a loyal customer of JC Penney for over 20 years, I will no longer shop there due to the new marketing campaign, approach, look, feel and spokesman chosen who shops the men's department. I have seen time and time again how companies decide to draw attention to themselves in the hopes of gaining new customers by introducing massive changes and high priced CEOs to something that worked just fine the way it was, but wasn't exactly making sales go through the roof with the ultimate goal of filling their pockets more than they already are.

    The result is always the same. They fail because the focus was really America's demise, greed. Their last ditch effort to rebound is by reverting to what did work the old way. The funny thing is this might just be JC Penney's master plan, to look like they're updating everything and then turn around and promote a new campaign advertising their decision to go back to the old way of doing things. This is retail, folks, not the movie 'Inception.' Meanwhile, they've lost good customers like me. I'm not falling for the banana in my tailpipe and there's nothing JC Penney can do at this point to rectify the situation. This strategy is the reason why people hate change.

    What's with the tacky Xerox-copied signs on racks that read $3 and up that have items that start at $20? Do you think I'm stupid? Sale signs are nowhere to be found so this will likely not have customers breaking doors down. Why would Ron Johnson think that the $10 blue clearance tag is better than the old pink $6.97 tag with a coupon is a better deal? He is seriously questioning my intelligence. That's right. There are no deals at JC Penney anymore. Good luck with your brilliant idea of iPenney, a mutated verison of Kmart, Sears and Goodwill gone wrong with Martha Stewart orange jumpsuits and hot dogs served from the shoe department. Oh, yeah and your MNG collection of junk. Be prepared to print coupons for bankruptcy court.

    The “new" JC Penney is disconcerting. I have shopped at these stores for more than 20 years. I was in the store a few days ago when they rolled out this "new" campaign and they asked me what I thought about the look of the store. Frankly, when I make a purchase I don't care how wide or colorful the aisles were from where I purchased it, just how much I paid for it.

    The company wants you to think their pricing policy is easier for consumers. I'm sorry, but $6.97 is cheaper than $7, it just is. They are not inventing the wheel on this one. It's designed to put more money in Penney's pocket and leave less in mine. The quality of its products have declined in recent years, are they doing anything about that? Taking coupons away, that's interesting since, in my book, they compete with Bon-Ton, Macy's, Kohl's, Target, Boscov. That often made the difference for me, as I find Penney's initial prices on the higher side.

    I will not be duped by what they call "fair" prices. I know what I am wiling to pay for an item and we'll see if it's still a good place to shop. The CEO from Apple may be used to products flying off the shelf at roll-out, that doesn't happen with a retailer like Penney. hope they picked the right team for this research because it seems out of touch with consumer needs right from the start, down to the first impression with the screaming commercial. I didn't even know it was for Penney's until a few days later, I always muted it as soon as I heard screaming.

    If that's who the store thinks we are, that we are waiting with bated breath outside their doors for them to give us a good deal, they are mistaken. We will go elsewhere. Finally, although I like Ellen's show, she's funny and seems kind-hearted, I find her a curious choice. She seems completely over-commercialized to me, and she's Cover Girl's spokesman, how will she promote Sephora Partnership, if that remains? How is she also going to sell women's clothing when she clearly prefers to dress like a man?

    I don't fault her personal choice, but I know what my needs are for fashion and I don't see that meshing. Penney's is taking many risks here, hope it is worth it. It seems they are willing to lose many faithful customers in favor of introducing new ones. For me, it comes down to pricing, if that's adversely affected, smoke and mirrors won't cut it. I will gladly take my business elsewhere.

    I live in rural Indiana where the price of a salon haircut is $20-$25. This is what I had been paying until this month when JC Penney decided everyone in the US should pay the same price: $36.00. The stylists were so embarrassed about the $11.00 increase that they kept apologizing. Corporate needs to realize not every town in the US has the same wage base.

    I was just getting excited to go back to JC Penny to do some shopping for the new low prices. I just found out that Ellen is the new spokesperson and I want to know why. She is not fashionable at all and she seems to need a makeover to represent fashion. She could not sell me anything looking how she dresses. I believe that this appointment was due to her being openly gay and not that she is qualified to represent fashion. I wanted to let the management know what I think and the person does not match the action taken. I believe people should at least qualify. So now I feel she was chosen because she is gay and to me that is discrimination, just like hiring a white over a black that is really qualified.

    What values is JC Penny trying to teach? I will no longer shop there because you are sending mixed messages. Is JC Penny the new gay store? Is JC Penny the store that discriminates over qualified people? I think it is unprofessional and you will definitely lose money. But hey, who needs that anyway?

    The "screaming women" commercial is horrendous! It is very unsettling to not only listen to it but to also watch it. I click the mute button and look away immediately. The advertising exec who pitched the ad is clearly in the wrong line of work if he/she thought that would bring in the customers. And the JCP exec who approved the ad clearly doesn't know its customers.

It induces stress each time it comes on television. It is by far the worst commercial airing right now.

    I keep seeing this psychotic commercial of people who looks like complete idiots on television. It is the most annoying commercial I have ever seen. It is the worst in the history of worst commercials. I want to find the person who wrote this, and give them a piece of my mind, as well as tell them they have pissed a lot of people off. Furthermore, this person or persons have given the J.C. Penney company a bad name. I am very disappointed in the way this was conducted. It needs to be pulled off the air, and everywhere else, so that it can never be seen anywhere again.

    I know it makes me not ever want to step foot in a J.C. Penney store, ever again. This man needs to be fired, and move away, so people don't find him, and do, God only knows what, for creating a cacophony of noise this commercial has, as well as the hornets' nest this person has stirred up.

I had a question on the site so I contacted JCP over the phone and the order took up two hours and 40 minutes to complete! It was frustrating. Yes, there was a language barrier.

    I got a call that the order did not go through, apparently, a missed payment on a card that has a $200 balance. I paid it immediately and they told me they would process and resubmit my order in a week! I need the blinds sooner and they asked me if I would just like to cancel the order and go somewhere else. I talked to the credit department and they told me that the credit limit was brought down to the $200 and they thought it would stay there. I cannot purchase with that limit and then she asked if I would like to cancel my account! I was surprised and eventually just said yes.

    Your screaming commercial is absolutely horrible. How could you possibly think that this is going to attract customers. It is the most annoying commercial I've ever encountered. I've mentioned it to my friends and family and they all agree. What were you thinking? If you want to see me shopping in your store, you will have to wait until this screaming commercial is taken off the air. Get it off the air, now! It is very irritating.

    Just another complaint about the terrible TV ad currently running for Penney. The screaming is annoying and makes me wonder how much financial trouble Penney is in to run such a cheap and sleazy ad. The ad company, Mother NYC, may think they are being innovative--but the ad is such a turnoff it may harm Penney's new pricing structure rather than help it. Please take it off.

    Natalie did a color and she virtually "fried" my ends. The sulfur smell is still ongoing. Another stylist tried doing a heavy conditioning treatment, to no avail. Supposedly, the manager knew a mistake was made since she contacted Matrix to try to put the blame on that company. After weeks of complaining to the corporate office and head store manager, the store manager gave an okay for a credit. Sorry, I don't want a credit since I will never patronize that salon again and will definitely never recommend the "stylist" or the salon to anyone. The head manager finally agreed to a refund--what a joke. I received only a partial refund. I never received any kind of apology from the stylist (she even walked right past me when I had to come in person for the refund). They have very unprofessional staff, which should be brought to the attention of the state credentialing board.

    JC Penney caught my disabled daughter, who is kleptomaniac and is heavily sedated due to medical issue as well as mental shoplifting. They took her into a private room dumped her purse out and was shouting "where is the stuff you took?" My daughter said, "I don't have any more,” just these items mostly were sale items at junk that wasn't her size and men's cologne the total $125, which they charge full price.

    My complaint is they told my daughter that she would get a letter (criminal demand) from their Attorney to pay it as restitution which was $200.00. They never called police and stated all items were not destroyed and put them back on shelf. Two months later, she received a court order to appear in court for retail fraud! I have spent thousands of dollars in that store along with my daughter over the past 20 plus years and closed both accounts. I will have to pay the court probably $500.00. JC Penney gets off on hurting people two fold. No harmful, calculated intent was made against the company by my daughter just bad decision making and to completely lie about just pay the civil demand letter!

    I am boycotting this store and have heard many horror stories about mothers with strollers, witness a LP harass a little old lady in front of the public and store personnel because she opened a lotion and took her to the little room.

    I had an appointment at the Greece Ridge hair salon. I arrived and had to wait to be checked in because the lady working the front desk was sitting in a salon chair with her back to the walk in area talking. Although she did apologize, she should be attentive to her job. Then as I was sitting for a few minutes someone else asked if I was waiting to see Kristen and I said yes I had an appointment. Then I asked, "Why is she not here yet?” Then she said she doesn’t work here anymore. When I asked why I wasn’t called to be informed; she stated she called everyone. I said obviously not because I showed up and checked in to see Kristen. She then verified my number and it was correct. Then she proceeded to say she called everyone twice. By this time I got up to get my coat upset at the fact that I told her I didn’t receive a call once let alone twice as I wasted my time arriving for the appointment.

    As I was leaving, she said she would try to squeeze me in with someone else. I shouldn’t have to be squeezed in, I had an appointment. And because of their lack of follow through I wasted my time. Also, I have had been inconvenienced in the past because of bad haircuts. It wasn’t done correctly 3 times. I only reacted and had it fixed once because it was something I couldn’t live with. So therefore I didn’t want to see someone else. I have 4 kids and have to juggle for some of my time.

    I went to JCP in Cupertino a couple days after Christmas and saw the same bedspread. I ordered online with their clearance items. I immediately grabbed one and took it to the nearest cashier to get a price adjustment. She directed me to the catalog area. I was approached by Ron (very rude), the manager, in the catalog dept. I asked him if I could get a price adjustment for a bedspread that I ordered online. I paid $69.99 and they had them on clearance for $31.37. He said that their catalog/online orders and in-store merchandise are not connected, so he could not complete my price adjustment. He was very rude and spoke to me like I didn't speak English.

    If JCP merchandise online and JCP merchandise in-store are not connected, are they running as two separate companies?

    I ordered a locket for my wife for Christmas and put it on my JC Penney card. I had a few issues with the purchase. First, three days after I ordered it I saw the price dropped online from $65.99 to $50.10. I contacted online customer service about a price adjustment and was told because I selected store pickup for the item; they could not adjust the price and I would have to wait until I picked up the item and discuss the credit at the store. Next, I received confirmation from UPS that the item was delivered to the store on a Monday. After receiving no call to inform me the order was ready, I made call attempts Tuesday and Wednesday to confirm the order was in and was told both times that it was not received. On Thursday I went into the store and was told the item was being held in the jewelry section.

    After visiting the jewelry section I received the locket and inquired about the credit and was told, because the price had gone back up, they could not honor the previous sale price. I was told by a manager to keep checking on the price and if the price dropped within 30 days to bring the item back in and I could get the credit. I saw today the price is back down to $50.10, so I contacted the store and was told they have a 7-day price adjustment period, not a 30-day period. So it looks like I'm going to have to eat the extra $15. Finally, like I said, I purchased the item as a gift for my wife and chose store pickup so the item would not be delivered to my home when my wife was home. The invoice that was supposed to be included with the locket when I picked it up was instead mailed to my home in the form of a bi-fold postcard with the item description clearly listed. I'm still not sure if my wife opened the card and saw what I had purchased her.
