We will never have anything that owns by Synchrony Bank!!! We open a JCPenney Card because of all the saving on buying a tux at last minute for an occasion.... we are the type of people will pay our bills before the due days .... We opened the account on Jan 13th 2020, the bill arrived, we attempted to pay the bill twice, first time was 2/3 (we spoke to a human), second attempt was 2/8 (auto pay) and our actual due date it's 2/14). Well both times was unsuccessful....then next cycle of bill came, on our statement it showed that we paid twice and was credited on the account, but somehow money was never withdrawn from our checking account (now we have late fees and interest) ...
So again we called to talk to human and her name was Cindy, after struggling with Cindy about the charges/fees and that went on for 10 minutes that we will have to pay, so we demanded to speak to a supervisor, she then decided to investigate what happened to our attempts payments, huh for some crazy reasons our checking account both times was one digit off, it was a 3 instead of a 4 (the key board 3 and 4 not even next to each other????). Funny.... so Cindy will resolve this, so best way at the moment to clear our bill was pay with our Debit card... but the system wouldn’t take our Debit card.... so Cindy said, "Can you walk into JC Penney to pay your bill and that's the only way (Ok no problem, Penney is half drive from our house....). Cindy assured us that she will make a note on our account so when we get to JC Penney to pay, all our charges and fee shouldn’t be on the bill....but do it today she said...
So we headed to JC Penney to paid our bill (this become a job now!). Fast forward ... we are now at the store counter for 30 min fighting, lady on the other end with Synchrony Bank refused to take all fees and charges off!!! Cause such a commotion that a store manager walked by and decided to get on the phone and help... same fight, went for another half hour after manager (Dahlia) demanded to speak with supervisor....finally we paid what our bills supposed to be.... Bottom line here is that, this bank will make you jump though lot of hoops if you are paying your bills ahead, they want you to be late and holding a balance!!! ** way to put people in debt!!! We can‘t believe how Synchrony Bank do their business.....So people DO NOT let this bank bullying you!!!! and the Star rating said all!!!

When shopping at JCPenney, I tend to get great deals when purchasing their products. Their customer service is great and their return policy is without a hassle. I especially take advantage of their sale, which allows to purchase good product at exceptional prices!

Ordered a new mattress after receiving offers during President's Day Sale. We upgraded to a better brand and paid a premium price. The delivery was accepted contingent of old mattress (20 years old) being picked up. The delivery staff from Ryder Co refused to pick up old mattress because it was stained. We did not expect this treatment and were never told of any conditions for haul of old/junk mattress. JC Penney did not offer an apology or a make good effort. DO NOT BUY MATTRESS FROM THEM. THEY WANT YOUR OLD MATTRESS TO RESELL THEM.

I bought 3 items on Black Friday 2019 that all qualified for mail in rebates. I sent in the rebates online which each item had a $14 dollar rebate and I uploaded copy of my receipt with rebate submitted. I should of received a total rebate of $42 dollars. So I called on December 17, 2019 to inquire about my other rebates, I was told that they were sending a email to the back office for reference. I have called probably a total of 10 times to check status of my rebates for the past 3 months and was told to give 7 to 10 business days, give it 5 more days, give it 3 more days, I will send email to back office. So on Jan. 31, 2020 I received an email saying that my rebate of $28 is in process. So today February 17, 2020 I call again to inquire about rebate and was told it takes 4 to 6 weeks to receive your rebate. Really I have been waiting for 3 months, I know it’s only $28 but that is a lot to me and it’s the point. JCPenney has lost my business and my respect.

I have had two terrible experiences with JCP in a row so that warrants a review. First, my daughter and I went shopping for something to wear to my sons wedding in the spring. She found something in the store she likes but I didn’t find anything I really liked in my size. The lady helping us suggested looking online cause there were several things I would like but they didn’t have my size in stock. So I went online and actually bought five dresses, When they arrived I tried them on and got a second opinion of my family, selecting what I would wear to the wedding. I decided to keep a second one as well just because I liked it and it was casual enough to wear elsewhere. So, with the return process they tell you to take to a local store. Okay I can do that. I returned the other three to my local store. They only gave me a partial refund and charged a restocking fee! Who does that nowadays? No retailer that I know of.
Fast forward... I haven’t shopped at JCP since the above experience and go out of my way not to now... But my hubby wanted this certain jacket that they sale. So I found it online, it was sold out but allowed me to enter my email for notification when it was back in stock. As luck would have it, I got an email the week before Valentines. So I ordered it. Regular shipping was like $8 but I could pay $16 and get it by Valentine’s Day, so I paid extra for expedited shipping. On the afternoon of the 14th, I checked tracking only to find out that it had been changed to the 17th with no email, no notification of any kind and so now I have paid extra for a service I didn’t receive.
JCP has too much competition to forget that the customer is why they exist at all. Doing business the way they are, they will soon go the way of John A. Brown, Sears, etc. The world we live in today requires you EARN a customers business because we have choices. It’s no longer 1975 where there are only a handful of retailers and customers must choose the lesser of the evils. We expect service for the price we pay and JCP has proven two times in a row that they don’t know the meaning of customer service.

I received a Biddeford heated throw as a gift on Dec. 19th. After 2 days it stopped heating. I went to the store expecting to just swap it out for a different one and they explained quite rudely that they could only give me a $14.99 credit and I can buy the same blanket, which was on sale for $40!! I have never had such an issue exchanging an item in my life! They treated me like a low life and were literally no help at all. All I wanted was a working heated blanket...shouldn’t be that hard to swap something out for the same exact item! I called the 1800# and was told there was no customer service number for the store, only JCP.com. Man finally said he was going to start a claim for my complaint, but he didn’t even give me a claim number or tell me how to follow up. I intend to take this further, to the Better Business Bureau, social media, etc. if not resolved here..I’ve already spent too much of my time on this. Very disappointed in this company.

Buyers BEWARE!!!! JCPenney raises their prices to actually be higher during the biggest sales. For example: when an item is 30% off the total is$600 and when the EXACT same item is 70% off the price is over $900. I called corporate offices to ask why and was told “it’s standard retail practice.” So seems to me they are happy to rip off their customers and consider that “Standard”.

I have one of their credit cards and I tried to use it today. However I was denied so I called and found out they checked my credit and lowered my credit with them. I never had any credit cards do this in all my years of having credit cards. Since JCPenney allows their card services do this I won’t shop or deal with them anymore. I was late once on paying due to their systems giving me wrong information and when I heard it I ran to an ATM and withdrew amount needed to catch it up and paid it. I even paid off my balance and after having good payment history they still lowered it. My advice don’t shop here or get any credit cards from them go to Meijers, Wal-Mart, Target or elsewhere. They actually care for your business and want it unlike JCPenney.

Poor customer service! I ordered a 13pc cookware set on 01/04/2020. I called to get an update on the delivery status on 01/14/2020. I was told it would be delivered via UPS end of day 01/15. On the 16th, I called support again and was told no, it was awaiting pick up. I was given the tracking number and told to call again if there were no updates. Called support 01/20 and told I would not receive my order. That the gift card balance I paid with would have to be mailed to me via check and the refund would take 3-4 business days to receive back. NEVER buying from this company again.

I’d like to know how often customers actually receive approved instant approval on store credit card applications? I certainly didn’t need a JCPenney card but was encouraged to sign up for one for the 20% discount. After the lengthy signup process, I was told it had to go to further review and I could not get the 20% off. Not only was this embarrassing in front of my daughter and patrons but I have perfect credit; I find this entire result ridiculous. After receiving the letter in the mail, I was told I had to wait for, I called and was instantly approved. I am attributing this entire process to a JCPenney scam to simply get people to sign up for the credit card without having to provide the 20% instant discount. Fraud Investigation Manager for JCPenney / Synchrony Bank told me I could not be provided a reason for my “under review” status given at the store. Sketchy.… will definitely share this experience with my mom groups and colleagues.

My husband bought for my birthday a sapphire, gold over sterling silver ring, necklace earring set & it tarnished in just a few months. I went to return with a receipt for store credit because a few months had passed. I was told nothing can be done because it was over 60 days. This was over $200.00 and the fact that they could not honor me as a customer is outrageous!

My husband proposed to me August 17, 2019 with a wedding set from JCP. It was beautiful and I couldn’t be happier! We married October 4, 2019. I had to take my ring into get sized shortly after that. When it came back from being sized, I noticed a few days later that one of the stones was very dark in color. A couple of weeks later that same stone fell out! I took my ring in Dec 8, 2019 to be repaired. I was told that if I brought the ring in before Dec. 11, 2019 the ring would be back in time for Christmas. I went to JCP after THE NEW YEAR and stood there in disbelief for 15 minutes that the JCP associate could not find me in the system!
At this point I didn’t know if I would even be getting my ring back at all. The associate finally located my information in the system and said the ring should be back the following week. I got the call that my ring was back Jan. 6, 2020!! I go to pick up my ring last night, Jan. 10, 2020 and the second the associate took my ring out I knew it wasn’t the same ring!!!! My white gold, beautiful shiny ring was now brown and yellow. The associate said she would clean it thinking maybe was dirty?! Obviously that was not the case. I did not leave the store with my ring. I am now a ring less heartbroken newlywed because of JCPenney. DO NOT EVER PURCHASE JEWELRY FROM JCPENNEY.

I did a lot of Black Friday shopping this past year. I shopped at 3 of the major dept. stores. JCP was by far the best to deal with. I bought some rebate items. All of the JCP rebate checks have arrived. Macy's has about 1/3 of them even registered so I don't know what is going on with that and Kohls has not acknowledged any of them. I spent a lot and bought a lot and some of the stuff needed to be exchanged - again - JCP was the best - by far. I went to the store and the line moved very quickly. Kohls is ok but takes forever. I love JCP.

DO NOT ORDER FROM JCPENNEY EVER!!!! Here's why... HIGHLY dissatisfied with JCPENNEY and their customer service or LACK THEREOF! I had ordered a bulk order for my son's and daughter 12/16/2019 to of course be shipped in time or Christmas. I logged in online to confirm my order status and lo and behold PART of my order had been CANCELED without any notification/email/phone call or EXPLANATION! I printed both of these cancellations via online and proceeded to go in store 12/19/2019 to find out what the ** had happened since no one wanted to notify me.
In store customer service didn't seem to have a clue either as to WHY so they re-ordered the ITEMS that got canceled. The lady was nice enough to allow me to use a "COUPON" that successfully went through and I left the store confused but mildly satisfied as they tried to fix the problem. So naturally at this point I'm assuming my order was being shipped (on the 19th)... FAST FORWARD to 12/28/2019. 3 ridiculous days AFTER Christmas and I called my kids to see if they've received their package and still NOTHING. Naturally I call JCPENNEY AGAIN to see why it has taken 12 days to receive an order that should have been delivered well before Christmas but has not been delivered AT ALL..
It is now the 28th, and I'm talking to Customer service and she begins to tell me that because the coupon that was applied on 12/19 was apparently not APPLICABLE to the order, they canceled the order entirely without my knowledge. I received ZERO notification of this cancellation, ZERO phone call or email of this and my kids are without their Christmas gifts. Not only that, JCPENNEY has done nothing to rectify this situation or make it right. No apology, no reimbursement, no re-ordering of my purchase, NOTHING!!! DO NOT ORDER FROM JCPENNEY, and to be quite honest I don't plan on putting money back into that store for anything ever again.

Although the bank does not send out an invoice for use following a dormant period, they do invoice the following month and charge a late fee for the late payment that was never requested. According to the agent with whom we spoke, the bank is aware of this problem and has had many complaints. Yet they continue this practice.
Our JC Penney card is issued by Synchrony. We received no invoice in November but an invoice and late fee in December. When we first contacted the agent, he said that the call would be recorded as part of debt collection. However when questioned, the agent quickly acknowledged that he knew that a November invoice had not been issued. When questioned again, he agreed to remove the late fee. When questioned again, he agreed to remove any impact on our credit rating. The bank should not issue late fees when they know an invoice was not sent the previous month. They should not disparage one's credit if they know they are at fault.

I ordered Mattress and Box Spring online. Everything went well until the day of delivery. The delivery company (Ryder) told me, they can't get my queen size box spring up the steps, that I'd have to order a split. (First, I'd like to say they were just LAZY! I originally have a Full Queen box spring.) Then they wouldn't leave the mattress, as I was told it has to be delivered as a set, since that's how it was sold.
Okay, fine, I called JCPenney, ordered a Split box spring. They already refunded me for the original Box spring. Had to call JCP back the 2nd time, for them to approve the re-delivery of the mattress. Called back 2 days later was told it was approved for re-delivery and probably wouldn't be re-delivered until my split box springs were delivered. Again not the happiest but fine, willing to wait! Already waited 3 weeks.
I get a email last week scheduling my box springs. I thought yay, finally! Well nope more of a nightmare. I check today the 23rd, and seen the mattress was fully refunded to me on the 17th. I had to call and not only speak to 1 person. Spoke to 3 people, including a manager. All of which couldn't explain why it was cancelled when in the notes it stated I was still accepting the Mattress. But now, I'd have to reorder and wait another 3-4 weeks for delivery. Well at this point, I'm done, keep your stuff, cancel the box spring order as well.
The manager told me, it was my fault I didn't keep the mattress. I said, "I was told by your delivery company (Ryder), that they can't leave just 1 piece cause the entire order wasn't being delivered." That's why I called and put in a claim for re-delivery, and at that time, that CSR told me that the delivery company was correct. Now you are telling me, that I could have kept the mattress and my fault I didn't when I tried to but I was told no from the delivery company. Either way, JCP and the delivery company they have hired need to get it all together. Even a order I received on Saturday, last minute Christmas gifts, I had to call JCP cause I also received other peoples merchandise inside of my package, and to let them know about it. At this point I am done with JCP.

There has been a few times in JCPenney, especially in Salina KS that I had to watch the cashier like a hawk or get ripped off. It seems they don't bother to get any of their sales in the computer so it rings up regular price. I even bought clearance, and when the clerk rang it she scanned tag and of course it was the regular price. When I said different she said it wasn't on clearance and I told her I saw the green tag. It seemed like she was trying to hide that tag by covering it with another. I've caught several other mistakes. Watch these people if you want to get the sales you are looking for.

Every order that I place online for past 6 months is canceled by JCP. Why? No one can tell me. While the customer service agents tell me they forward my information to someone higher up to fix the problem. It has not, the issue is still not repaired. Why? They are losing me as a customer of 40 years. I am so disappointed that no one cares enough to fix the problem.

I purchased 7 different kitchen items during the Cyber Monday sale. When I purchased the items, which all had rebates, I used the in app rebate button, filled out the form 7 times, and submitted THE SAME DAY OF PURCHASE. I got a notification the rebates were submitted and accepted. Then notification the rebates were ALL invalid.
When I contacted Rebate customer service, Rep Davidson advised me they were all invalid, and told me to wait 5 to 7 business days since I had only submitted YESTERDAY. It had been 12 days!!! He was rude, and would not answer my questions. Davidson told me I waited "past the complete time frame", making "making all the rebates invalid". HOW COULD IT BE INVALID IF I DID THEM THE SAME I PURCHASED THE ITEMS??!? Then I tried customer service for JCP. I held for 2 hours last night before I was hung up on. So far now I have been on hold for 3 hours and 38 minutes. I tried the "give me a call back option" - they called back before I hung up the original call, said I was 1st in queue (GREAT!), that was almost 4 hours ago (Yay me, I guess).
At this point, I just want to return everything, and get my money back. Is this normal? It seems excessive to me!!! I tried Twitter, email, chat, and by phone. I am done with JCP! Items were cheap poor quality crap, and then being scammed on top of that? NO THANK YOU! I live 2.5 hours away from the nearest store or I would be complaining in person!!! JCP needs to care about their customers!

It was Thanksgiving Day and I decided to order wireless earbuds for my three children. I decided to order early hoping for same day pickup because before 3pm it is supposed to be ready that day. I ordered them at around 2:54pm. They were in stock because while adding to my cart it said 16 left. I never received a text that afternoon to pick them up, which I should have because they were ordered in time for same day. I get an email the next day saying they cancelled my order. WOW! So, I go up there and the manager said once in stock come back and they would honor the price. Okay. They did try to tell me they must have not been in stock and I stated they were for multiple reasons.
1. It literally said how many were left. 2. There is a line drawn across the color box when they run out. 3. When out of stock it says out of stock and does not allow you to add to cart! I return days later and another manager orders them again. Now it says delayed and has continued to say this. I have not been charged and okay, BUT I want the earbuds I ordered. This company is so fishy with orders and should have never offered their online, pick up in store service if they cannot keep up and do their job. NEVER ORDERING FROM HERE AGAIN!

I placed an order with JCPenney online Black Friday. I’ve only ordered one other time from their website and that was for a donation eight years when I lived in Louisville,KY. (I’m now in Cincinnati, OH) I deleted the old address, deleted my old saved card, entered my new address and new card and then checked out. The website informed me some of my items were available at the JCPenney five minutes from my house and I agreed to pick up those items. (Five of my items were canceled because they weren’t in stock) The rest of the items said they would be shipped.
Two weeks and some later I get an email me stuff has arrived and happen to notice it is at the Louisville, KY address! I go online to check the account and my new address isn’t in their system at all (that matches my credit card and pick up location) and my eight years ago address is in their system twice. Something happened within their website/tech/glitch - of course they are making me pay for it and aren’t taking care of it. It’s all my fault... After waiting for a person for over thirty minutes, Now on for over an hour and talking to a supervisor - I’m informed two of my items haven’t been delivered yet and I can go to UPS website, sign up for UPS my choice and at least have the last two things sent to my house. I do ALL that and the website tells me only the business shipping can change it. Then I’m told I can enter the packages that have been delivered and put claims out and UPS website doesn’t allow that access to me.
Lastly, I’m informed I need to call the Louisville Police and fill out a theft report, send the report to JCPenney and then they have to approve it and decide to refund me my money!?!? I’m sick over all this. What should happen is they figure out what the heck with their system, send me all my items that went to the wrong address and take care of the missing packages themselves. I will NEVER place an online order with them again. Probably won’t bother shopping there either.
Kohl’s is just as close as them along with other places... I’m so livid over this experience and that I’m made out like I’m a liar or crazy or something and never say there and filled out all this information. They had no problem using my credit card and the address on that!!! Funny how that works.... I’ve worked in customer service for over half my life and am very dang gone good at it, so I have no sympathy for what they are putting me through. Don’t waste your time and energy with their website - something will get screwed up or canceled most likely!

JCPenney's billing department sucks. I pay my bill by the 5th of each month even though it is due on the 20th of each month.

I like JC Penney because they have good sales, especially the final sale rack, if you can find the size you need. I usually can find what I want for 50% off. The store is neat and well-organized. They could use more check-outs.

I ordered my mother her Christmas presents from this site. I check with my bank frequently to make sure that I don't over spend. Well, JCPenney took out the correct funds but the next day they charge me again at the same price. That is a large chunk to be taken out of my bank. I notified them through email. They asked for my information to check. They then left me with the excuse that it wasn't their problem!!!

Back in 2016 I bought a LG refrigerator off the floor. It was a great price and I also purchased a 5 year protection plan. This morning (3 years later) our freezer and fridge is not cooling properly. All of our food spoiled in the fridge and freezer (mind you we went grocery shopping yesterday). Ok, I have the plan which also reimburses food up to $300.00. I called the # I was given...Guess what, they don't have me in their system. JCPenney never registered my info with them. I got nowhere with Asurion (the protection plan company), basically I had to do the work JCP was suppose to do, which takes 2-3 business days to process.
Meanwhile, I have nowhere to store any cold food for my family consisting of a husband and two teenagers. I go to the JCP store where I purchased the item (TYRONE MALL ST. PETE. FL) and found out that they no longer sell major appliances..Wonder why? The so called manager gave me the phone # to Asurion and basically said there was nothing they could do. WOW a company that sells you something, never registers and does nothing for you. That's great customer service! Now it will take me 3 business day to register before I can get a claim in to get my refrigerator fixed. If JCP did their job in the first place I could have had a repair person out sooner!

I placed an online order for a pair of shoes from JCpenney and had the order go to the nearest store to save $9 in shipping. I wasn't sure that the size was correct and the site said I couldn't pick up the order the next day because they didn't have the exact say color at the store where the order was being sent. The next day my daughter and I stopped by to try on another color and lo and behold there was the exact same shoe which fit perfectly. I took the pair of shoes to check-out to see if I could just take the pair there and let them just keep the pair being shipped for me to the store. The cashier told me they couldn't allow an exchange. Needless to say I was not happy. Fast forward a week later and I went back to the store to pick up my order. I was in a hurry cause I had to pick up my kids at school so I ran back to the BACK of the store to pick up my shoes. There is one line for pickups and one for returns and exchanges.
My line there was an older lady speaking to the employee about sheets not fitting her bed and knowing the size of her mattress BLAH BLAH BLAH! Fast forward 15+ min and the returns line took two other new customers and I am still waiting for the older lady talking about sheets! The returns employee said she could help me and then drug her feet back to the back and then back to me another 10-15 min. I firmly believe they could see I was not happy and were enjoying themselves. I will NEVER AGAIN have an order sent to JCpenney AGAIN!! The store in Riverdale, Utah is well stocked, but some of their employees are very slow and uncaring it seems. Maybe it's just 'cause I was in a hurry and upset.

I got my bill in the mail and as there appeared to have no easy online payment I sent in a check for the full bill. Appears JCPenney got the payment late so they added $31 in fees and sent me a bill just for late fees. By the time I got the bill from my post box it was late per JCPenney. So for a shirt I paid for in full when I got the initial bill, I have paid more than twice its value due to JCPenney's late fee structure that does allow for mailing time.

I placed an order online, the item was listed as being able to pick-up yet there was no stores within 100 miles that stocked the item, so unlike other sites they lied about the item being available in store. Immediately upon receiving the confirmation email, I noticed the delivery address was incorrect. Online there was no way to edit the order so I contacted JCPenney directly to be told they could not change the delivery address for me, they offered to cancel the order so I could place a new order, but having explained that the funds were currently on hold with their company so I was unable to take that option. I was then told I would be able to change it with UPS.
The following day I contacted them again because the order was still "in progress" and was told I had to wait for the tracking order number. On the second day I noticed the order stated it had been shipped, no tracking order online so I contact company again. Was informed that the tracking number would come from UPS - really! I asked to speak to manager and explained that according to UPS site that JCPenney could have corrected the item for me, only to be told it was my mistake and once the order is placed they cannot change it. I was told I could have cancelled the order, but explained again that the funds were on hold and that would take longer to be released so cancelling an order for a little mistake is not really an option. Both customer service rep and manager were rude and rude. I have used many online stores and always been able to change addresses or order within an hour or so of placing the order.
The attitude was the order was placed, we have your money so tough luck. I was forced to have the items delivered, even though it did not clearly state the item was not available in store. In this day and age of online shopping I would have expected a better service from a big company - small online stores offer better customer service.

This item was a “limited quantity” item and it seemed like I ordered the last one because when I tried to view the item on the website after placing my order it was no longer available. On 6/6/19 I called JCPenney customer service and was told that they can issue me a refund or I can continue to wait. They also saw on their end that the only progress on this order was that a “label was created”. I really wanted the ring so I waited another week.
On 6/14/19 I called customer service again and was told that that item is no longer in stock and that a “case” would be opened as to why I haven’t received the ring and that they “usually” call people back. I honed in on the word “usually” and decided to just ask for the refund. The customer service agent said no problem that she would issue the refund but that she was still going to open a case. Today is 6/20/19 and I have not received my refund, have not received a call back for a “case”, and the ring shipment details have not changed. I want my money back JCPenney.

My fiance and I fell in love with a $5900 ring at JCPENNEY. It originally cost about $9000 so I figured we were getting a good deal. Keep in mind that when it comes to DIAMONDS, unless you keep your eye on it 24/7- there is no true way of knowing if it has been tampered with. They DO NOT do repairs in-house. Your ring is received by the counter associate-shipped out via a carrier to a third party repair shop, returned to you via another carrier 4-6 weeks and later, and all jewelry department employees have unrestricted access to your jewelry until pick up. I read online that it takes longer to do a cleaning than it does to swap a diamond. NEEDLESS to say, when my ring came back, the center 2 ct stone was completely different.
It was not as shiny as it was when I first purchased the ring. The brilliance was lacking -- noticeably duller. I made a big fuss about it and it was clear that the counter associate was trained in a back room for 3 hours prior to her start date, and the manager was also clueless about jewelry related matters. They offered me a refund and I took it, because once you walk out of the store... You have no rights. It was a beautiful ring, but their practices are shady. BE careful. Never leave your ring unattended anywhere! Even for a cleaning, stand by and watch. A diamond can be swapped in a matter of minutes and you won't realize it until it is too late.

Purchased 4 piece bedroom set. The set arrived and delivery drivers brought all items in and begun to assemble all items. The 3 dressers were put together and the bed was the final item to be assembled. As the the pieces of the bed were removed from the box, the driver noticed that the side rails for the bed were dark brown instead of black like the entire rest of the set. I called JCPenney immediately to report that the wrong colored side rails were sent and wanted to request that the correct color side rails be sent instead. I was happy with the set, with the exception of the colors not matching. JCPenney stated that the side rails cannot be exchanged, but that the entire set needed to be returned. How frustrating already.
It's been 3 weeks, yesterday since the set was delivered and contact was made with JCPenney. At this time, the bedroom set remains in my home, half set up. We obviously can't use the items because everything needs to go back. I've spoken to JCPenney 7 times in the last 3 weeks and every time there's a different excuse for why the items have not been picked up. A few times, I was informed that my ticket was closed for an unknown reason. The ticket would then need to be reopened. I was informed another time that my request was closed and items weren't being picked up because I failed to pay the restocking and pick up fee.... I was never informed of such a fee and why would I pay this fee considering I didn't mess up the order or initiate the return. The return was initiated by JCPenney.
My last call to JCPenney occurred today. I have no idea when the items will finally be picked up so that I can be reimbursed and move on. I'm hopeful that something positive will happen over the next 2 days so that I don't have to place future calls.JCPenney says that once the pickup occurs, I can call them back and request a refund and then I can reorder. It's sad for JCPenney to believe that it's right to ask someone to call and request a refund for something that's being returned. Isn't that the natural next step and not something someone should have to call as ask for. I can't believe one would actually reorder items after going through a 3+ week nightmare to simply have some items we're unable to use be picked up.
My child's clothing is in garbage bags and his mattress is on the floor considering we can't use the furniture in his room. I missed work and pay on the day the items were delivered so I could be available and I've spent hours and hours on the phone since the delivery date trying to get the items picked up. This is beyond ridiculous at this point. I strongly discourage anyone from ordering from them. I know that after this issue is resolved, I'll never purchase from them again.

I ordered a dining table set with 4 chairs, three of the four chairs were damaged. The people who delivered the furniture told me to contact JCPenney to resolve the problem. JCPenney gave me the option to either return the item for a refund or they can send someone to fix them. I decided on the repairman option, he came out and could not fix them and stated we have to order new legs for the chairs. I called JCPenney to make sure they placed the order, they stated the order has been placed and said they would contact me when the legs are in and the repairman will come back out.
1 month later I still haven't heard from them. I contact them and they state they are still waiting on the legs. I keep checking weekly until another month passes and I get fed up and ask for a specific delivery date. The rep that I spoke to checks and then states they never placed in the order for the legs. So all this time they are just lying, hoping you forget about what they promised.
I ask to speak with a manager and the rep said that there are no managers and everyone is on the same level in her department. She gave me the option to put in the order now for the legs or to be compensated $90 (my purchase was over $2000), but I can't get both even though they provided such an inconvenience. I chose to have the legs ordered. But the rep was so awful I call JCPenney corporate to report her and they check the status of the issue and said that the rep issued the refund of $90.
I told them that I had recorded my conversation with the rep and it clearly states that I want my furniture fixed. They said that once a compensation is order there is nothing they can do to fix it. I told them this unfair and that if they are going to sell me damaged good that I would be refunded an amount to reflect the price of the damaged furniture. They agreed to return 30% of the payment (I wasn't allowed to return the furniture at this point because it has been 3 months at this point).
I check 1.5 weeks later and they still haven't refunded me my money. I called and another rep said that they will fix my chairs now. I am beyond confused and livid at this point but agree to give her the serial number for the chairs as she requested. I call a week later to see if they are being delivered and a new rep said that they can't repair my furniture because I was refunded $90 already. I keep calling every other day trying to sort this out but each time it's a new rep and even when each new rep promise they will personally help this issue none of them pick up their extension or call me back.
It's been four months now, I still have the damaged furniture with no repair schedule, no option to return the damaged set, or a refund. The customer service employees for this company are the absolute laziest people, who I am sure are just wasting time away to get paid without having to do any work.

I called the store but got the same response - they were not responsible for the installation and they weren't allowed to call the installation company.
After demanding to speak to the supervisor, they finally gave me an 800 number to call. The customer service representative casually said "oh looks like the installer quit. If you want to re-schedule, the next availability is next Friday". Seriously??? Nobody thought of calling the customers and reschedule when they knew that person couldn't make it? What kind of company does that? And when I told her I wouldn't be needing their service anymore and asked for a refund (yes they already charged my credit card weeks ago), she immediately became very nasty.

She was Rude and Condescending, didn't make any attempt to clarify why I only got 50% of the amount charged when I returned the items purchased online to the Northridge store within 3 week from arrival. All she said is that she's in Ohio and I needed to go back to the store where I did the return because she wasn't there at the time of the return???
When I mentioned that she has been rude and that expected more from Corporate Relations, that even the person who transfer me to her was much courteous, she responded that she's in the Corporate offices and SUPERIOR to the person who transferred me! Really? She decided to transfer me to another lady who 2 minutes in the conversation hang up on me. Third person I spoke with was a male named Lency, said that the return was done the night before and that I needed to call back after 3 days when the charges show on my credit card. Don't they have records of transactions? Seems like no one is willing make any effort to help. Too bad, I used to like JCPenney.

I purchased a clearance item online and by the time I picked it up the price had gone down. When I asked the clerk if I could get the difference she called a manager who denied stating they don't do price differences on clearance merchandise. So I called the customer sec # and was told the same thing. I went to their policies and in writing it says nothing to that effect and called back and after a conversation she gave me the corporate number. They didn't even hesitate and assured I would get the difference back in my account. Just to think how many people they have done that too. I cut up my charge and I will no longer shop there.

The last 2 times I've ordered online from JCPenney, I never get my order, or notifications regarding my order. This is twice now that I order and get an email saying is has shipped, but don't come to the store yet for pickup as the full order is not in yet. Then that's it. You never hear again. You finally call the 800 customer service number and they say that some are shipped but not others and to contact the store directly. You then contact the store and they say that most of the order was shorted and that they will have to return it all and try to reorder with no guarantee you will get your stuff.
Okay, so why haven't I been notified for over 2 weeks about it, yet they charged my card immediately. They also had me give them my card number over the phone if I want to try to reorder. I should have known after the first time this happened, but really want to support other stores, but won't make this mistake again. They just take and use your money and never provide the products. Just sad that they are their own undoing in this world of Amazon etc.

I won't go into a long story but in the day of online shopping, Amazon and all, these people have fallen so far behind they are not even considerable anymore. I ordered several items from them, one showed up in the store. I spend the next 40 MINUTES!!! trying to resolve the issue. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and ordered again. One month later, no items AND THEY CHARGE YOUR CARD!!! I made several phone calls to resolve the issue. They promised a refund and here we are 9 days later - no refund. NEVER AGAIN!

I bought a watch from JCPenney and was hard sold a jewelry care plan. Associate who sold me the watch told me her husband had the same exact one and that if the band ever got worn out they would replace it. That’s exactly what happened, and when I brought it in for replacements they told me that because it was cosmetic there was nothing they could do. Because of this experience I will never purchase another item from this company again. They lost me because they wouldn’t replace a $20 watch band. JCPenney is not a customer-focused business and they deserve to go bankrupt.

I purchased a new mattress at JCPenney for $1,400.00 at the Dadeland store on January 20th 2019. The same day I found a better mattress at Macy’s for less money. So I went back to JCPenney and found the same salesman and told him that I wanted to cancel the order. JCPenney charged my credit card for the full amount and was told by the furniture department that I needed to file a dispute with the JCPenney credit card department. Today is February 4th and they have not credited my account. I was told by the credit department that it will be a good idea to make the minimum payment when due on February 20th. Pay for something that I never received, and never delivered and the cancellation was done the next day. I will never buy a pair of socks at JCPenney.

I recently visited JCPenney in Forestville MD to buy bday gift for a friend and I went to several stores before I came to JCP. I found after 10 mins. What I was looking for/men's Under Armour shirts & pants individually wrapped of course. There was several to choose from but only 2 in the XXL sizes for bottoms/tops. I took all 4 packs (2 tops/2 bottoms thermals). The cashier in customer service location scanned the items but 2 wasn't scanning so she told me I couldn't get them. I told her just scan the other 2 that do scan. Went through and that should take care of that. She said no.
I ask for manager. The cashier associate explained to her what was going on and the manager told me they cannot sell me the items. They wasn't suppose to be on the floor and need to be returned to manufacturer etc. That they are putting up in season items and pulling all out season items. I said, "If that was true why did the other 2 go thru/scanned and put in the bag for me." She reply, "We cannot sell them." I told her this is the first time I've ever experienced this. It's not my fault it was on the floor/men's department for sale. Secondly if the barcode cannot be scanned just scan the other 2 that was exactly what I brought shirt/bottoms they are same prices. What is the problem. Others stores has done it and even gave me raincheck etc. I know it can be done. She said no.
I called customer service and the rep. listened as I explained to her and then she ask to speak with store associate/cashier. Then manager spoke only to get me back on the phone and say... THEY CANNOT SCAN THE ITEMS/2 SO I CANNOT GET THEM... I said it can be done as I explained and ask to speak with her manager...while I was on hold...the manager told me hang up after I was on phone 20 mins and says, "I will just scanned the other 2 items you already purchased." I was furious but glad she finally said okay. I knew they could do it and customer service could have too.
Customers are to get 100% satisfaction and I felt like I didn't get that. And I was willing to pay whatever for them and if it wasn't a bday and I didn't spend half my morning in other stores. I WOULD HAVE LEFTED EVERYTHING ON THE COUNTER BUT TRYING TO BE NICE AND STAY CALM. This is how I was treated. JCP not losing anything if anything you're gaining from the transaction.

I have been a lifelong customer to JCPenney for various purchases. Unfortunately, it is with great disgust that I am writing to provide future shoppers a "heads-up" before they purchase ANY appliance from JCPenney. Their staff at the Deptford, NJ store, I feel do truly care for their customers. However, once you make your purchase you can expect to be left to fend for yourself. The people behind the retail store aka "customer care" do not care in the least as to what problems you may face with your purchase. Once they have your money they will do nothing to assist you in any way.
I recently purchased a washer and dryer from JCP only to have my home damaged by their delivery people. In an attempt to be an understanding customer I filed appropriate complaints and did not request anything further to be done regarding the situation. Once the brand new washer and dryer did not work properly I made the sound decision to request a return of the items. The staff at the Deptford store were completely understanding. Further, the staff agreed that a return was a completely understandable request and processed the return. I was advised that I would receive a call in 3-5 days to set up a pickup date and time.
After day 4 I received an email from "customer care" stating that they were not going to process the return. I immediately called JCPenney Deptford, to find out what the issue was. The staff have made various phone calls and emails and I am still in the process of JCP and its affiliates granting my return. I have been weeks without a washer and dryer and have been doing wash at my in-laws home.
As I stated before this company and its affiliates are there for one thing only and that is your purchase and hard earned money. Once they have that you can expect zero compassion and they will do NOTHING to assist you in any way. It’s sad that I have come to an online posting to discuss my issue; however, I feel for the next customer who is even considering an appliance purchase from JCPenney. The company as a whole should be ashamed in their morals and leaving a family without a washer and dryer for weeks on end.

On Dec.13, I received an email stating that "your item has been shipped". So I thought everything was going on schedule. As the days got closer to Christmas, I didn't get any more updates/no tracking number (which is odd). I contacted JCPenney NUMEROUS TIMES and was told that furniture orders are usually 4-6 weeks!!! They don't know why the website said Guaranteed Christmas delivery and that many people were upset for these same reasons. They weren't even sure where the location of the cabinet was!!!
So by Jan 11, I received a call from a delivery company. The guy says they only deliver on Fridays! So he told me that they would call back on the following Thursday to schedule a delivery time. The following Thursday, I receive an automated call with THEIR delivery time of choice. I called that number back NUMEROUS TIMES and no answer. I called JCP NUMEROUS TIMES and they even tried calling the delivery company with no luck, either. Finally, I told JCP to please CANCEL. I am done with the games.

Apparently it shipped out on December 11th from a 3rd party but no one can actually locate our order and put their hands on it.

Tuesday I called back and finally felt like I had spoken to the 'right rep' that would solve all my problems. She said that none of the other representatives had submitted a VOL demanding that the merchant declare the location of our furniture and give an exact date of delivery to the shipper. She assured me that it takes 24-48 hours but she would call me no matter what on Friday and finally have answers for me.
It's end of day Friday so I took it upon myself to call and see where we are in the process and when I can finally finish my nursery. I spoke with a gentleman named Kenneth in the Escalations Department that told me that I just needed to call Ryder's Last Call and sent up my delivery with this P.O.#. I was so excited.

So I decided to order another sport coat, but this time I decided to pick it up at the store. Thought maybe the product would not be as wrinkled as the previous one. I had to wait longer than the specified time of 4-7 BUSINESS days. I called and went to the store and they said to give it another few days. Ok, was patient. Then they called yesterday and I traveled 50 miles to the store. They went to the back and brought it out, and it was wrapped nicely as if they took good care of it. I did not check it other than to make sure it was the size I ordered and color.
Got home, took it out of the packaging and immediately saw a brown stain on the sleeve. I tried cleaning it the best I could. Looks like somebody dropped it in something or sat on it and ate their lunch. It's not worth my time to go back to the store and complain. I had seen many bad reviews concerning JCPENNEY but thought, maybe they are just hard to please. Nope. I will not order anything else through JC Penney. Just like others have said, go elsewhere.

I'm very happy with the stove and microwave hood I purchased from JCPenney, and though the installation team was friendly, the primary installer almost refused to install my microwave/hood until I showed him I had paid for the installation on my receipt. He had to use a large drill bit to enlarge a hole for the plug, and scratched the stainless steel door of the microwave with it, and dragged the drill bit across my kitchen counter, deeply gouging it. I did not complain or raise the issue because I've previously experienced retribution from JCPenney installers after complaining about the mess they made during carpet and vinyl flooring installation.

She put all her items in stacks of just over $25 and had about 8 to 10 stacks and the cashier let her re-use the one-time use $10 off coupon over and over again because she argued and said "I'm a rewards member". Well, so am I and they take my coupon after one use when I'm lucky enough to actually find something not excluded. Coupons state one-time use and surrender after use. They could learn from Kohl's in my opinion. You can use a coupon, percent off, rewards, promotions and anything else you might have all at once.

When I placed my order total payment was pending, which is fine. Then, each time a shipment was sent out, the amount for the items in that shipment was debited to my account. This led to a confusing and frustrating overlap of charges. Inventory logistics is extremely lacking. Though an item is available when you order, it may not be when they ship. The website will still indicate items have been shipped when they are not available. So you don't know if you'll actually receive your items until you open your package. When I contacted them about missing items, they referred to the same flawed system. I had to prove it wasn't sent by showing them a note that was included in the shipment. Without that note, they would have had no idea I didn't receive the merchandise. All in all you don't know when or if you will receive items you have already paid for.
Secondly, the merchandise quality is lacking. They use outrageous puffery to make items seem inviting by quoting high prices and touting extraordinary markdowns. You get less than you pay for. Some bras I ordered were originally priced at $40 or more and marked down to $12. They were no more than thin crop tops with absolutely no support. You could see right through them. A chain advertised as sterling silver arrived dull and tarnished.
It seemed like it would be too stressful to return the items. If they can't track orders for shipment, I have no confidence they will be able to process returns any better. I consider myself lucky for not spending more and feel it's better to receive something than take a chance on returning merchandise. After my experience placing two orders I will not be returning to their website.

I have shopped with JCP for many years for my wife. Always found their products to be well made and durable. As with a lot of people now I seldom find the time to visit my local store and shop online quite frequently. I usually try and order for the Christmas Holidays 10 to 15 days out because of the shipping demands this time of year. So I went on site 12/14/18, found merchandise and ordered through JCP. The site said merchandise would be delivered by 12/21/18 so I completed the order. I received an email from them stating this. A few days go by and I get an email from UPS stating the delivery would be pushed back until 12/27/18 two days after Christmas. I immediately call JCP customer service and was informed that the carrier had previously told them the day before they were running 24 hours behind.
So I asked the customer service rep how it went from 12/21/18 to 12/27/18 with them being 24 hours behind and she got a little smart with me and said, "Well sir I don't work for the shipping company." Upon that answer, I then asked to cancel the order and asked for a refund to which she replied they could not refund my money until the merchandise came in. So I told her that if I understand this correctly JCP is basically telling me that my merchandise will be late and there is nothing I can do about it to which she replied yes. Now while I love JCP products I can honestly say that JCP has already closed many stores and with customer service like this they will be put out of business by Amazon and Walmart in the next two to five years and the sad part about that is they are doing it to themselves.
Once again let me state that I love their products but my days as a customer are over. To be honest with this statement I'm still tracking the shipment and while it could be possible for it to be here by 12/24/18 with the weather up north where the road conditions are poor I don't really expect this until after Christmas. The customer service mentality of it is one of the issues that sealed their fate with me!

Admit it - this will be one of those companies, when put out of business by Amazon, some of us will be cheering loudly. About twice a year, for the last two years, I try giving JCP.com a try again. So, this is partly my fault because EVERY SINGLE TIME, they send the wrong item, don’t count and send the incorrect number of items ordered. So once again, I was stupid. Ordered nine valences for a gift. I was certainly charged for nine and they took the money immediately from my PayPal. What arrived? Eight. Because they apparently hire people that cannot count. Then, when you call, customer service - EVERY SINGLE TIME, I feel like I’m talking to someone from the hood that is strung out. Well, once, a woman was filing her nails so that was different.
This time, the hoodlum took 40 minutes. "What’s your name? What’s the order number?" Hung on for - kid you not - 6.5 minutes after giving him the order number. To which he then asked AGAIN for my name. Then my address. Um, isn’t that on the order number? You did go to school through 3rd grade at least, right? So, after 40 minutes, he’s mumbling in slow-mo that he will credit for the missing item. BUT, he wants a credit card number to send out the one they couldn’t count properly. Yeah, I’ll pass. It’s loud, you sound like you are in the hood and stoned, you’re probably seasonal help - I’m certainly not making the mistake of giving YOU my all my credit card information. Goodness, J.C.

My bill is paid in full...but yet, they claim I haven't paid a bill. But yet I have proof with cancelled check, front and back. There is no one that I can talk to in the US about it and people in Manila have no clue. In the meantime I keep getting letters even though I've proved I don't owe a thing, along with interest and late charges added monthly. Never experienced such ignorance in all my life. Can't wait to get this settled and I can cut up the JCP credit card.

I bought a fridge, stove, and two protection plans in 2016. It’s now 2018, and I needed to file a claim for the ice maker that wasn’t working. It took over two months, and me calling JCP protection plan service line over 10 times, to get someone to get it taken care of. I talked to 3 different managers and multiple Employees, who all promised someone would call and schedule the next day to get it fixed. Yet no one did. I had to spend hours on the phone and it was way more a headache than what it was worth to say the least. No one helped, everyone gave me a different answer every time. Very stressful and irritating. I will never be buying an appliance and for sure never a protection plan from JCP again!

I have ordered a refrigerator through the website that it was not delivered at the time and day it was informed by phone. There were no apologies for no-showing and no explanations for what happened. I have to cancel my order through the phone 844-527-2775 on Nov. 26 at 7:28 p.m. (staff name: Aldery). They only have returned a part necessary for the installation (about 10 dollars) and the fee for taking back my old refrigerator (about 24 dollars). That is it! What is my refrigerator refund? I have been waiting for 18 days and nothing! I have no choice but to enter with a dispute.

For almost 2 months now our fridge from JCPenney has not worked. We bought it less than 2 years ago and they keep telling us to wait and wait. They make up excuses for this or that. We’ve even said to return the fridge and we’ll pay the difference for another one. What did they say? Wait more days? Save your time and money, do not purchase appliances from them. We won’t ever again. Much luck.

Purchased Disney collection Cinderella ring (white gold).

Took pics when irritated and walked in to show them in person. Tried to return or get an exchange for yellow gold ring and they wouldn’t do ANYTHING for me 'cause it was past return date. Also they had to look up my receipt because lady who sold it to me didn’t give me my original receipt after getting it sized and lady no longer works there.
I called other jewelry stores like Zales etc and I Can’t get coating on ring 'cause it wears off after couple months and would cost me 50.00 every two months just to keep this ring, and they can’t put yellow gold over it. I paid in total with lifelong care package 1,790.00 and will never get that for it.

Bought ring with lifetime care plan in Nov 2016 for my engagement. Within a few months, noticed a crack in the diamond. It was covered in my plan to replace the diamond. Two months back, I gave my ring to polish and when I got it back, found the diamond broken. And this time, they arrogantly denied to replace the diamond even though they were responsible for this breakage. They said the diamond price is more than the ring cost so we cannot replace. Highly disappointed and worst shopping experience with any store. Never going to buy anything from there. I do not recommend anyone to buy from there. JCPenney is the worst store ever.

I shopped at JCPenney yesterday in Keene, N.H. When I brought my items to check them out, I also gave the associate a JCP discount coupon that was mailed to me. I presented a gift card to pay for my transaction and was told that you cannot use coupons when you pay with a gift card. This was news to me since I’ve used coupons in the past and paid with gift cards. I’ve tried to contact the store numerous times today regarding their policy.

I ordered a ring online so I could get it well before Christmas, I got charged for the order and the status when I checked said shipped. A few days later I get an email stating my order was canceled while the money was still taken out of my account. I called customer care to ask why but the guy I spoke to literally said "I don't know" to every question I had. I asked him why it got canceled while I can still order it online. He then said "I don't know, just to order it again", but then I would be out double the money for a few days since the first transaction already went through without any information if it would be refunded. I decided to check if any store nearby had the item in stock, they all showed they had it but when I called none of the stores could find it.
I then called customer service again and got a very rude lady on the phone. She said my order was canceled because the manufacturer was out of stock and probably got some new stock in. I asked her why they canceled the order if they got new stock in, to which she said it didn't make sense to do it any other way. I asked her why I got charged for a canceled order to which she literally said I was wrong and was not charged. I told her I was looking at my bank statement that showed the money was taken out of my account.
She then changed her story and that the money 'probably' would be refunded within a couple of days. She then ended the conversation but I chose to take part in a survey before the call started since the previous customer care associate was terrible. She conveniently did not hang up the phone but placed it down and I could her laugh and talk to her co-workers. She then checked the phone and kept saying "hello?" to which I stayed quiet. She did not hang up for like a minute because she probably knew I was not happy and was going to partake in the survey. This has been the worst online experience I've ever had and will never step foot inside a store or spend a single penny at JCPenney again.

I am writing this as I am without a clothes dryer for the next two weeks. I brought brand new GE appliances from JCPenney a few months ago and paid them to deliver and install. The dryer leaked gas from the start. I reported it to the JCPenney installer who told me that that was normal for the dryer I bought and would eventually go away. I used it for a few months. Then called the gas company who came and told me it was a danger and a death trap and to contact the manufacturer. GE told me the part was not in stock and that I have to wait two weeks to get my dryer repaired. They also filed a incident report because of the gas leak. So they acknowledged wrongdoing but refused to prioritize the repair or a replacement.
So I am still having to wait 2 weeks with no dryer. I called JCPenney to see if they could help me. They refused saying that they could not help me since I was out of the 48-hour delivery window and I should have called them when I smelled gas. I told them that their installer told me it was normal, they told me that it was my fault and would do nothing for me. I will never buy from JCPenney again and you should not either unless you want to live with an appliance that could kill you and/or spend two weeks at the laundromat.

The next week I got a monthly bill from JCPenney for the order. I tried again to contact JCPenney since my mother was home. I called, had them and had her confirm that it was ok to talk to me.
This time the rep wanted to send a code to my home phone to confirm our identity, but since I was talking to them on that phone line they could not send a code and would not send it to a cell phone. They now are going to send a letter with a code to further delay handling the fraud case. All they had to do was cancel the order to start with instead of playing some sort of catch-22 with us, but this seems to be the way they delay dealing with fraud with their card. I'm not sure what they will do next but it appears they have a security problem with their JCPenney cards and are trying to cover it up.

The Winston-Salem manager whose name is Frank is choosing who he will and will not give the promo savings coupon for Thanksgiving. We walked in the door and he refused to give my dad one because he said, "Oh I've seen your face before. You've been here." We have literally just walked in. Nobody else in the store would do anything about it because they acted like he was the ultimate boss. With all of the hundreds of people going in and out the store you cannot say who you did or did not see because you could be wrong just like he was right now. We asked three different people after him and they all basically just said he is the boss.
This is not the first time we have encountered the same situation with this manager. The previous year both of my parents went and he told my dad that he couldn't have one because his wife already got one. I have never seen them deny a spouse a card, they always give every person walking through the door a card.

First of all, you made the mistake as a company of promising something to the customer that was not going to be fulfilled.

Mistake number 1 - buying from JCPenney of a major appliance. We had bought a washer and dryer and a fridge. They first told us 5 days so we set it up for the following Saturday. We received the washer and dryer. However while taking out the old one they manage to cut and bend up one of the hoses on the washer. Then all of a sudden there was a leak.
The second thing they did not do was install our refrigerator because there needed to be a shutoff valve for the line for the water valve. They told to get that fixed and to call them and they would be right out and install it. Well when they were called I was given a second number for which to call. I did and they were wanting to transfer back to a third number. When told them about the hose and then the fridge not being installed they told me the earliest would for Thursday or Friday. I told them that they could come Saturday. They called my wife saying that they were only delivering a hose. When she called back they gave the excuse that their schedule was full.

Ordered an eyeshadow palette from Sephora through JCPenney’s online catalog and the item was delivered damaged. The time it took to find an email address to their customer service was well over 20 minutes. (I prefer email rather than calling on the phone since that usually takes more of my time). The fact that they don’t gave a published email address to customer service is bad this day and age but worse was they did not offer any incentive to make up for reviving a damaged item.
The eyeshadow was broken and dust was all over the compact. The only options they gave me took more time and money on my end to either get a refund or a new palette that wasn’t damaged. Amazon will often give the options of sending you a new item through express mail with the agreement that you return the damaged item upon receipt. JCPenney isn’t willing to invest in its customers.

I have my own beauty license to go purchase the color at Salon Centric. So you fire one of the best stylist in the salon because you she didn't charge someone for using a color you don't even carry.
I see employees doing their hair for free and nails for free etc and they didn't even bring their own product. I had to purchase my own shampoo at Salon Centric because they were using low grade shampoo because everything was on back order. When my stylist told her boss I needed a specific color, (I was going rose gold) he told her to half mixed junk. So unprofessional. Not only will you lose my business for the salon but also the front store.

Sunrise Mall, Citrus Heights - I placed an online order on 10/27/18. I received an email on 10/29 saying my items were on the way with a tracking number, however the next day I received an email saying one of my items was unavailable and I would be refunded, no big deal although I thought it was a little odd to receive this message after I had already been messaged that the items were on the way UPS? A large box is delivered on 10/31 from JCPenney’s. The box inside was labeled men’s work jacket/Realtree size medium (I had ordered a Levi’s medium weight Sherpa lined men’s jacket size M). I opened the box to find a burgundy pleather/stretchy material women’s size large jacket/shirt?
Anyways, I proceed to call customer service where the representative answered the phone. (The best I can say is finishing a conversation with a coworker?) When she then said the normal “how can I help you” and she did sound polite with her question. I then begin to explain the reason for my call, when I hear her say “oh, God” in a ‘I don’t want to deal with this tone’. I’m guessing she was speaking to whomever she was in conversation with when my call came in, and probably thought she said it softer than what she did, or maybe moved the mouthpiece they speak into and thought it wouldn’t pick up? When I said excuse me, she said she didn’t say anything. I was really shocked, but after telling her the issue she then asks “How far away are you from a JCPenney”, where I told her 1 1/2 hour drive.
She then told me I would have to take the item back to get a refund. I told her that is inconvenient that is why I ordered online, she then said she could send me a label to send it back, but I’d be better off to drive it to a store location. I’m frustrated at the whole situation when I explain that I ordered the Levi’s jacket as a gift and online said there was a limited amount when I ordered it (which my order went through) and waiting for a day off to correct their mistake that the item would most likely be sold out. She then said that I could order it right now, but that I would have to pay for it again! I told her what was sent to me doesn’t even cost half of what the jacket cost-they owe me money!?!
It didn’t matter and she asked me the code for what I was supposed to get, which is what the packing order and box is labeled with, and surprise surprise, it’s sold out now! I also have yet to get my refund for the other item I ordered that the email that they sent me said they would do! To sum it up-I paid for two coats, I got one pleather burgundy shirt/jacket! They owe me money, and to try and get what I ordered and paid for to begin with they want me to pay for again, and it’s already gone!

I was shopping for men's underwear and wound up spending about $100. I was shocked at the disarray of the shelves and that there were so many packages that were already open! When I finally found what I wanted in sealed packages I lined up as the 6th person in a check-out line with only one person handling sales. The entire experience was somewhat agonizing and I guess there really is a reason to go to Amazon. I used to love the JCPENNEY at Oakland Mall, MI, but not anymore.

They take 15% restocking and that’s cheating because simply their materials is worse than Walmart and they take 85$ to come pick up their stuff. Also no matter if you want to change your stuff to better ones or no you will pay. They just want money and the people are rude.

Online ordering. I placed an order less than 2 hours ago and because the item was not avail for store pickup I was forced to ship it to my home at a cost of 8.95. After receiving my confirmation I began shopping again on their website and found a pair of shoes I wanted to purchase however another charge of 8.95 shipping would apply. I called customer service to ask if they would either modify the original order to include the 2nd item or waive the shipping. They refused to do either. The customer service rep became argumentative on the call to the point I had to request a supervisor, meanwhile he continued to argue that no shipping would be waived and they would not modify. He told me that I could have it shipped to the store “for free”.
The original item was not available within a 40 mile radius of my home. He didn’t appear to care. The supervisor proceeds to come on the line and again tell me ship to store is free (for the 2nd item). While on the phone I place the 2nd order and it charges me 3.95 for store pickup. I relayed this her and her response was that it’s only free if you meet their minimum order requirements! Seriously you’re going to charge me to pick it up myself from the store?! You can’t modify or cancel an order made 2 hours ago? You aren’t willing to waive shipping on a 2nd order placed less than 2 hours prior?!! What a load of crap. I got zero accommodation from customer service and they want repeat business?
I’ve spent several hundred dollars at JCPenney in the past 3 months but will now discontinue shopping there. Many many retailers offer free shipping and don’t charge for pickup. It’s no wonder JCPenney has struggled in recent years. Horrible customer service. What’s worse is their rewards program. I spent 400 in store only to get 30 in rewards that require you to use them within a 2 week period. Why would I go back less than 2 weeks later after dropping $400?

I went to the Saginaw store after seeing an advertisement for saving 30-50% off on your purchase. When I arrived at the checkout I inquired about the ad I had seen and was told I needed to get a coupon to reveal my savings. The cashier stated a lady was handing the coupons out by the escalator so I went halfway across the store to get my coupon...no lady by the UP or DOWN escalator handing out coupons. I went back to the cashier and told her no one is there. She then told me to check in "fine jewelry" which is next to the escalators. Look for a lady with a red shirt and a bag. So I went halfway across the store again and still did not find the "coupon lady".
When I came back totally frustrated the cashier became slightly irritated with me and finally volunteered to go find "Michelle" herself. She came back in a short time with my coupon and said "she's over there". I proceeded to check out with my coupon and decided to look one more time for "Michelle". I did see a lady with a red shirt and large handbag folding clothes in the clothing section NOT by the escalators. I also saw an elderly woman asking her for a coupon. My point would be why not just have the coupons at the checkouts? Why should the customers have to find the "coupon lady"? It made my shopping trip to JCPenney the worst part of my day.

I do not normally shop at JCPenney. It's been years (almost near a decade) but I did recently shop here because they advertised every $30 you spend you earn $10 back in rewards. The maximum you can earn was $30 back in cash for rewards. That wasn't the problem. The problem is I spend over $150 so I should have got $30 in rewards. It was a problem getting that. I had to talk to several different people because they did not want to give me that. They gave it to me a week later but when I tried using the rewards it's not like cash. It's a rip off and very misleading.
Whatever I add in the cart the price is on sale but when I use the reward money (that is supposed to be like cash) the price jumps up to normal price so I'm not really saving any money because the reward money earned isn't like cash. Moreso like a coupon. Which is why I remember why I stopped shopping at JCPenney. All these hidden fees and agendas will push a customer away. I regret ever shopping here thinking I was saving some money. The ending result is me giving them more money. SMH.

It was streamline easy to order online and then wait for it to be delivered home. The only thing that I feel is disappointing about JCPenney is the customer service. It doesn't seem like there's a sense of urgency sometimes. One time, I stood in line for a Retail Sales Lead to help a lady find a security tag while she folds the 50 clothes the lady bought without making sure I was being helped. It took 15 minutes of my precious time. I had to raise my voice to get her attention.
The other time was when I stopped by a local JCPenney store to let them know that I did not receive my online order delivered to my home. The manager of the customer service/returns section scolded me saying that they'll make a one time exception to refund me since lost packages delivered to homes aren't something they can reimburse/track on. She made it sound like it was my fault and she was doing me a great favor for a refund. I thought that was ridiculous. If I'm paying for the shipping/handling, shouldn't you have better tracking methods? I also didn't like being treated like I'm intentionally ripping them off (although I know there are people who are).
The reason why I'm still giving JCPenney 4 stars is because I've been a long time customer of JCPenney. I've seen the great changes in the store layout. Not many women in their late 20s shop here but I do see the potential of it becoming a trendy department store. If only they'll change their employee incentives (daily goals) to drive better customer service as well as their online website. Although the website is very easy to use, the pictures aren't as trendy. Look at Target. They completely revamped their stores and updated their online pictures to make it edgy. Most shoppers are women and I can agree that any women up to 50 would love to shop at a place that is very bright and trendy.

JCPenney used to be a place you could go to get reasonable quality at reasonable prices. I stopped buying clothing from them when that quality tanked. However, the household goods still seem to be alright. Two days ago I ordered a sheet set for an elderly relative in an assisted-living facility. I tried to order it online and have it sent directly so I wouldn't have to pay for shipping twice, once to me then back to the family. What a ridiculous mess! The website won't allow two different address, one for billing and one for delivery so, rather than take a risk, I called in the order. After being on the phone for literally half the day, working with FIVE reps who weren't even able to cancel the order, the billing and shipping information was finally unscrambled and the order placed, only to discover that the name attached to my credit card was wrong. The only reason Citibank let it go through was because I quickly called them to explain.
Here it is two days later and the tracking number I was given isn't listed with USPS, FedEx or UPS despite JCPenney's assertion that the order has been not only accepted but shipped. No one seems to be able to tell me when or if the order will be delivered. At this point, it wouldn't surprise me if the blasted sheets never arrive and I have to dispute the charge with the credit card company.

When the item arrived at the store, I drove down to the mall, found parking, and searched for the online pickup area hidden in the back corner of the store. There was a long pickup line and it took at least fifteen minutes to pick up my order. Once I got home, I opened the bag and found that they had sent me an XXL size of shirt instead of the large that I wear.
I called their online customer service, who rudely told me that all exchanges or returns have to be done in the store. Drove all the way back to the store again, went through the line again, and found out that they don't have the item in stock anymore, so all they would do is refund the item, minus shipping. Terrible experience. I will never order from JCPenney again.

JCPenney provided me with one of if not the worst customer service experience. Spent three hours ordering groomsmen suits in the store, chose to have them shipped to our house, one of which still managed to be shipped to the store (which I should note is an hour commute for me). Turns out instead of receiving the pants to the suit I received a $4 clearance child shirt. Must I add the invoice was ordered correctly with the right information. Now let’s keep in mind it was clearly a wrongdoing on the warehouse end, misreading and sending a completely wrong item that in comparison to the 8 others suits shipped together was clearly not correct. When I called customer service, they informed me that they would in fact be charging my groomsman’s card again to send out the actual pants.
So, at this point I am confused how it has become my groomsman’s fault that JCPenney’s employees messed up with shipping the correct item and now we have to pay twice before being reimbursed 5 business days later? When I asked the JCPenney’s customer service worker how my groomsman’s was going to be compensated for the inconvenience and hassle of the entire situation she responded with saying he would receive free shipping. Which I find funny seeing as we had already received free shipping prior to purchasing the item in the store. So not only did we receive the completely wrong item, we have to wait at least another week before being credited one out of the two charges we received for the pants, and now have to wait an additional week because JCPenney screwed up our order.
Oh and one more laugh... They requested that they would like their $4 clearance shirt put into a package and shipped back via UPS. Sucks to want and pant for things and not get just that now doesn’t it? Good for you JCPenney. It’s clear you value your customers... NOT! I will never shop here again. Worst customer service!

Some updates from the customer service include the actual shipment was made on August 13th, not the 10th or 4th. They also gave me a number of the shipping company but that company told me that they have no record of this shipment whatsoever.
Ironically, my wife placed an order on JCPENNEY.com at around the same time and the same thing happened to her: money charged and no more action from the company. My suggestion will be staying away from JCPENNEY at all cost. They don't seem to be interested in doing business anymore. Their customer service is literally non-existent. And so many times, they just hang me up during the conversation since they have no idea what they are doing at all.

Let me start by saying that my initial in store experience was very pleasant. Michelle eagerly assisted me and showed me the room darkening cellular blinds I was seeking. I needed custom sizes, and she was helpful with the quote and providing the information for the initial measurements. Within days, a very polite gentleman was at my house measuring two windows, and a couple days later the blinds were on order. Even better, they arrived in about a week. Now to the terrible experience portion. It has been over two weeks since the blinds arrived, it is August with temperatures in the 90's, and after six telephone calls, I still cannot get anyone to call me about scheduling the installation.
The installation was included in the custom blinds experience I paid for. No one seems to be able to give me any sort of answers, and absolutely no one is calling me back. I am doing all the calling. I have heard things like it is a new process and it is not a change for the good. I have also heard that they have to reach out to Salt Lake City to schedule the install... why? I live in Chicago? At this point I am ready to return these blinds and go with a different vendor. I will not be purchasing blinds for my other windows from JCP.

I purchased jeans online for my boys. We live in Guam and there are very few stores available to buy clothes. My one son is 6'5" and needs a 36" inseam. Arizona makes the perfect jean for him. I went to JCPenney online and ordered a pair of jeans matching the description of the jeans that he currently owns and wears almost daily. When the jeans arrived, they were not the same. They were baggy and too large.
Disappointed, I went to the PO to return the jeans to find out that it would cost more to return the jeans than it cost to buy them! I then contacted customer service to explain that the jeans were obviously missed sized, a defect issue, because my son had the same jeans in the same size and these were much larger. The lady told me that it was my fault that the jeans didn't fit and I should have "tried them on." LOL Wish we had a JCPenney out here! I told her that my son actually did have on the same pair and they fit fine so these were defective! She was extremely insensitive to my concerns. She was very matter of fact saying, "You can return them... but you're paying shipping... not us." "It's your problem the jeans don't fit". "You ordered the wrong size". I CANNOT order from JCPENNEY.COM again and I could never recommend anyone else to either!

I placed an order at JCPenney.com on July 27th. On August 4th, I received an email from them saying that the item has been shipped and my credit card was charged on that day. However, from my online account with JCPenney, it says the items was not shipped until August 10th and that is confirmed when I called their customer service. Also, there is absolutely no update since the item has been shipped. The customer service keep saying that I should wait and cannot even provide a tracking number for the shipping. Strongly suggest that stay away from JCPenney. It is not worth the wait.

In early August my husband and I decided to buy our very first washer and dryer. After lots of research, I picked a brand of washer that wasn't necessarily the one I wanted, as that was about $600 more for the set than the one we picked. We chose JCPenney.com because they had what looked like a great deal. So we placed the order, and were told 11 days was the earliest we could get it delivered. The day before delivery comes, and we get our confirmation call FOR JUST THE WASHER. So I called them, and they said they didn't sell appliances as sets. And that we had to pay full price for the dryer, and wait an additional 11 days for it to be delivered. I told them to kiss it. That I wouldn't pay any fees, and they needed to cancel the order NOW.
After a week, my credit card was finally reimbursed FOR JUST THE PRICE OF THE WASHER AND DRYER. They completely left the product care plan intact. And didn't even tell me until I called them, again, for the billionth time, that a whole different company handles the product care plans. So then I had to email them. And have yet to get a response on my they won't give me back my $350. And if I make a payment on my credit card, since they are the most recent transactions, they will be the first paid, and then it will take longer to get the money back.
So now I'm stuck not even able to pay on my credit card or anything. We ended up ordering a set for less price, and much better quality, that same day from Home Depot. It's already been delivered, and installed, and everything, BEFORE I EVEN GOT MY MONEY BACK. Long story short, don't shop at JCPenney ever. They deserve to go out of business.

I had $20 in bucks, and since there are no JCPenney's near me, I went to JCPenney.com. Big MISTAKE! My order did not come so I tracked it and it said it was not deliverable. I called the 1800 #. Another mistake. I got the rudest lady possible!!! She wanted my order number, I repeated 5 times, finally she told me to hang up and call back. I called back, and got the nicest lady named Anya, who said she would reorder. I told her I used a prepaid card. She said to get another one and call her back. So I went to the bank and got another prepaid card. I called back and the lady who answered said she could not transfer the call, but she would help me. I said that Anya was going to reorder and that I would still get to use my bucks, she said no. So I ended the call.

I bought several items online recently. Six of them were watches and two of the watches arrived broken so I returned them. I received a request from JCP to post a review and I submitted a honest review and they said my review did not meet their standards so they would not post it. I mentioned in my review that the watches were broken and in my opinion the price was too high for the quality of the watch. I did not use vulgar language and I was very professional. So that is not why they did not post the review. They only post the "nice" reviews. Please be aware that any reviews you see have been cherry picked to reflect nicely upon JCP. No wonder they are going out of business.

DO NOT ORDER CUT TO WIDTH BLINDS FROM JCPENNEY! I ordered cut to width blinds. Asked for 57 1/2" width. They shipped 57" blinds. I could not figure out why they kept falling out of the brackets I installed. I called JCPenney to tell them their supplier had shipped the wrong size. They told me they could not reorder it, because it was now "out of stock". I went online and found the exact blind, but now at a higher price. (I thought that was dirty that they would not re-order the blind at the same price for me.) I went ahead and ordered it at the higher price, because I really needed that blind.
I had to remove brackets, and repack all of the parts into the box and haul it over to JCPenney for a refund. I waited until the other blind came in. (First time I had it shipped to my house; second order I had shipped to the store for pick up.) I hauled in the wrong size blind for my refund and picked up the other blind. Before leaving the store, I had them open it and measure it. IT WAS ALSO 57" WIDE! They sent the WRONG SIZE the second time. I got a refund for that order, as well. LIVE AND LEARN. Do NOT order custom cut-to-order blinds from JCPenney until they get another supplier.

My husband and I wanted to replace our old mattress so we did the research online and found a mattress at JC Penney’s that we were interested in, so we wrote down the item number of the mattress we were interested in and went to the JC Penney’s store at the Victorville Mall to see if the mattress was in stock and to try it out. The mattress was in stock and the floor model had one side firm and the other side plush so customers could decide which type they wanted. We had selected the plush online and even wrote the order number for the plush. We decided that we wanted the mattress in the plush and provided the sales associate with the information from online to order the plush mattress. The sales associate ordered the mattress in firm and gave us back the online paperwork with the plush information on it.
Further, she rang up the purchase which came to $1538.92 and this was on July 28, 2018 at 4:33 PM. It did not state on the receipt that she ordered a firm mattress so we thought she utilized the online information to order the plush mattress that we wanted. When we got home from shopping around 8:00 PM we checked our email to discover an email from JC Penney’s confirming our order for a FIRM mattress which is not what we wanted. The next day (July 29, 2018 around 9:00 AM) I telephoned JC Penney’s customer service and reached a RUDE sales associate who informed me that I could not cancel the FIRM mattress and would have to wait for it to come in on August 7, 2018, and refuse shipment and reorder the mattress I initially requested.
My husband and I (July 29, 2018 at 12:15 PM) returned to the Victorville Mall JC Penney’s store and showed sales associate Bianca the receipt and also the information that we had wrote down from online regarding the order for the PLUSH mattress yet the sales associate from the night before (July 28, 2018) ordered us a FIRM mattress anyway. Bianca remembered us from the previous night and opted to help us as the sales associate who ordered the wrong mattress was not there. Bianca reported that she could cancel the FIRM mattress and order the PLUSH mattress that we wanted but we would have to pay for it again and wait 3 to 5 business days for a refund on our credit card for the cancelled FIRM mattress.
We ordered the PLUSH mattress and on the same credit card and we were charged $1538.92 for the PLUSH mattress. When we got home on July 29, 2018 we received an email that a FIRM mattress would be delivered on August 7, 2018 and a second email confirming delivery of a PLUSH mattress on August 7, 2018. I telephoned JC Penney’s customer service and informed the sales associate that the FIRM mattress had been cancelled at the store by Bianca and that we only wanted ONE PLUSH mattress. I was informed that if two mattresses showed up to send the FIRM mattress back, but that most likely only the PLUSH mattress would be delivered.
On August 3, 2018, two charges had been placed on our credit card in the amount of $1538.92 times two for a total of 3077.84 to JC Penney’s. This was the 5th business day and instead of taking the charge off they billed for both mattresses. On August 3, 2018, I telephoned JC Penney’s customer service and explained the situation to a sales associate who informed me that it takes 7 to 10 business days to receive a refund on your credit card. On August 8, 2018 we received an email from Ryder Last Mile confirming the JC Penney’s mattress delivery to take place on August 9, 2018 as opposed to the delivery date of August 7, 2018.
On August 9, 2018, the delivery truck showed up at our home and I informed the driver’s not to take the mattress off of the truck if it is a FIRM mattress. The driver confirmed that the mattress was a PLUSH mattress and not a FIRM mattress. He took the mattress off the truck and I inspected it and confirmed that it was a PLUSH mattress so I took delivery and they set it up and my husband inspected it and signed for it.
On Friday, August 10, 2018 (10 business days) the charge for TWO mattresses was still on the credit card. I telephoned JC Penney’s customer service and didn’t catch the name of the sales associate, but I explained the situation to her that I had received the ONE mattress in PLUSH that I requested, but I have paid for TWO mattresses as the cancelled mattress is still showing on the credit card and they have been paid at JC Penney’s for TWO mattresses. The sales associate reported she would have to speak to a manager and after about 15 minutes on hold she hung up.
I telephoned customer service back (August 10, 2018 at 4:10 PM and spoke with a sales associate by the name of Collins. I informed him that I was just hung up on by a sales associate who was working on my case of trying to get us a refund on our credit card and I explained the situation again to him. He put me on hold and informed me that he needed to speak with a manager and I informed him that if the call gets disconnected I will have to call back and explain the situation again to another associate. Collins took down my telephone number and informed me that if the phone is disconnected he will call me back.
After about 10 minutes Collins came back on the line and reported that he sent an R.A. case. I asked, "What is that?" He reported, it (FIRM Mattress) was shipped out and they (JC Penney’s) will contact the Last Mile Driver to take the mattress back. He reported that the manufacturer was never contacted in time to ship the mattress back. I informed Collins that there has been no delivery or email confirmation for a FIRM mattress to be shipped to our home from the Ryder Last Mile. I informed Collins that there was an email on August 8, 2018, that a mattress would be delivered on August 9, 2018 and it was delivered and it was a PLUSH mattress which I took delivery of. There is no FIRM mattress being delivered to my home. He then informed me that until they get the mattress back (FIRM) that I would not receive a refund to the credit card.
I informed him that the order was cancelled for the FIRM mattress on July 29, 2018, by Bianca at the JC Penney’s Store in the Victorville Mall. Collins was unable to give me a date when we could expect the additional charge of 1538.92 to be taken off of our credit card. I informed him that we would incur additional interest charges if this charge was not removed from the credit card and that we cannot pay for the same mattress twice. I also asked to speak with a supervisor and he referred me to the legal department of JC Penney’s.
I telephoned the legal department of JC Penney’s after hanging up with Collins. I spoke with a sales associate by the name of Laura and I explained the situation again to Laura. Again, she needed to speak with management. After about 15 minutes she reported that she needed to create a ticket and leave it open. I asked her what this means. She asked for the order number of the cancelled FIRM mattress so I gave her the 16 digit order number of the FIRM mattress. She reported that this order was not cancelled. She then asked for the cancelled FIRM mattress 16 digit number which I gave to her for a SECOND time. She continued to report that this number was not in the system. I Informed her that I could give her the 16 digit order number for the PLUSH mattress which I took delivery of and when I gave it to her she appeared to be confused.
I also informed her that JC Penney’s has been paid for both mattresses, essentially they were paid twice for ONE mattress and I only wanted ONE mattress. I also informed Laura that the original sales associate informed us that we would receive a refund of the FIRM mattress to our credit card in 3 to 5 business days. We waited and then contacted customer service who informed us that it takes 7 to 10 business days to receive a refund to our credit card so again we waited and yet the charge still remains on the credit card. Laura reported that she was going to transfer me to the escalation department where I spoke with a sales associate named Kim in the escalation department.
I explained the situation again to Kim and she asked for the 16 digit order number for the FIRM mattress and I provided it to her. She asked again for the cancelled order 16 digit number (FIRM) and I gave it to her again. She then informed me that I needed to file a claim with Mastercard which is the credit card that they charged twice. I informed her that I was going to contact the credit card company next to inform them that JC Penney’s charged twice for ONE mattress and let them get the money back from JC Penney’s as my husband and I are not paying twice for one mattress. She began to get agitated (she was on speaker phone for my husband and adult daughter to also hear) and asked for another 16 digit number.
I asked her if she wanted the number to the PLUSH mattress that we took delivery on and she stated, “Don’t give me the number ending in 7210." I told her the number to the PLUSH mattress ends in 7901 so she wanted that number. She then became more angry and reported that she would refund $1300.00 to the credit card and I began to inform her that this is not correct when she cut me off and reported that by Thursday we would have a refund in the amount of $1538.92 placed back on the credit card. Kim was hostile and stated that if the money was not back on the credit card to call back, but she knows that it will be there on Thursday. The Thursday she is referring to without her giving a date would be August 16, 2018. Kim also realized it was their mistake and she apologized in a very aggressive tone.
TO DATE: NO REFUND HAS BEEN CREDITED TO OUR CREDIT CARD. Circumstances not taken into consideration in these matters: I was scheduled to have breast cancer surgery on July 30, 2018. My husband and I were supposed to be celebrating our 25 year wedding anniversary on August 7, 2018. Due to a breast cancer diagnosis our Hawaii vacation from August 4 to August 9, 2018 had to be cancelled - This was to celebrate our 25 year wedding anniversary. My husband decided to give me a Silver Edition Plush Mattress to replace our 18 year old mattress as the 25 year anniversary is a Silver celebration and he wanted me not to be uncomfortable after surgery.
We thought the process of buying and receiving a mattress would be a simple process and it would be a quick process to receive a mattress. My first call to JC Penney’s customer service on July 29, 2018 was placed while I was in route to Massage Envy to receive a relaxing facial the day before cancer surgery - needless to say this call yielded a rude response that there was nothing that could be done and I had to wait until the FIRM mattress came in and send it back before I could get a mattress which defeated the purpose of buying a mattress in the first place.
Further, we were originally informed that the mattress would be delivered on August 7, 2018 which is the actual date of our 25 year anniversary however; we were not notified until August 8, 2018 that the mattress would be delivered on August 9, 2018. Given all of these issues with attempting to make a major purchase with JC Penney’s and being charged twice and having them collect twice for one product and having to deal with extreme attitudes just to get them to right their wrong I would not recommend anyone make a major purchase through JC Penney’s.

The apparels are reasonably priced and they don't go cheap on materials, often look better than what is paid for. I can get a good flannel shirt from clearance for $5 and a dress shirt for $10, which still has better quality than some from competitors selling for twice the price. I have bought casual wear, watches, pants, dress shoes, and so on from there and I don't think I was disappointed once.

I inadvertently order the wrong product, when I contacted customer service I was told I did cancel in time and the order could not be cancel even though it had only been a short amount of time. The excuse the supervisor gave was they are required by law to allow cancellations for 30 minutes only and I would have to wait for the item to be delivered then return the items to a local JCPenney store. In researching that statement I found no law in California that allows that and in fact according to BBB it's 3 days. I believe everyone should be aware that shopping online with JC Penney is not a good idea.

Salesperson failed to disclose that return policy isn't the same as other departments when buying appliances. Stuck with $1000 oven that don't fit and has never been used and is still box. Filled a credit card application out to purchase and bought a warranty... Tried calling corp, local store I bought it from, company that made it, tried selling it on several sites online now 1/2 year later realizing no ones going to buy it even so I am stuck taking a loss. Salesperson didn't know when sale would end and we thought we would have time to return it if it didn't fit... I don't even know if it works since it's never been out of the box.

I bought clothes in the store and online -- not too many options for shopping where I live. JCP has not refunded the full money I paid for items that were returned. I have been working on this for 3 months. Friday I got a call from the store manager who was trying to figure it all out -- Called yesterday and today with no answer, called operator and learned manager was on vacation -- I'm all for vacations, but he could have told me he was unavailable this week. Also, I am simply asking for their record of the items I kept -- they sent me about 100 pages of all my transactions. Customer service needs a lot of training, as does management obviously. Instead of the list I requested they sent a list of all items purchased, with returns -- I can't understand the paperwork they sent me. No more purchases from JCPenney no matter how nice the clothes are.

Our local JCPenney is the ONLY department store in town. I would think that JCP would capitalize on this opportunity to meet the needs of the community. I continue to try and utilize our local store as much as possible but continue to be disappointed in the lack of organization and neatness. My husband went in to the store yesterday to find a pair of pants. He quit looking because things in the Men's department lacked total organization. Shirts were wrinkled, and unorganized, pants were not folded or in arranged in any appropriate sizing. It was so overcrowded it is almost understandable that it was in such disarray... but definitely not acceptable.
It is my hopes that the Woodland store will step up its commitment to the community and stock and arrange the store to meet customer needs. It wasn't too long ago that the air conditioning did not work and it took a VERY long time for that to be fixed (I realize that is the responsibility of the building owner) but I would think that since JCP is an anchor store they would be able to exercise enough clout to get it done in a timely manner. It was miserable for shoppers and unbearable for employees. Everyone had a fan at the checkout stands but the rest of the store was too warm to shop in let alone try on clothes. It is my hopes that JCP will step up the image and content of the store to meet the needs of community with limited shopping experiences.

So I get a gift card for Sephora, go to Sephora at my local mall, all to be told that I have to use the gift card at a JCPenney Sephora because that's where the gift card was purchased. So I guess JC Penney is getting a kickback for the Sephora products they sell. Okay. Great. After I finished being pissed off about that I then went to JCPenney's website. Ordered the exact same product that I wanted. It told me that I was eligible for free shipping due to the amount I spent. It told me my total, I entered my gift card information. Had an additional $5 and some change to pay out of pocket. Entered my debit card number. Submitted it and then it pops up and tells me that I need to pay $8.95 of shipping although it has a blue Banner running across that says I qualify for free shipping.
When I chat with some person online who I don't even know if they're even real or not they tell me that it's because it was not available to be shipped to my house for free but to the store. I said, "Great. I don't mind. I don't live far from the store." But it didn't give me the option to change it to ship to store. Long story short they're LIARS. I gave up and now I'm really pissed. I will never shop at JCPenney again and Sephora ought to be ashamed of themselves for not accepting the gift cards that are bought at JCPenney with their brand name on it. By the way the gift card was given to me for my birthday and if I would have had a gift card from Sephora that wasn't from JCPenney I could have got what I wanted plus a free birthday gift and three free sample gifts due to how much I ordered but that went down the drain because it was a JCPenney Sephora card. So now on to Sephora for a bad rating.

So I called the Hair Salon in Northridge, Ca, and asked for a haircut: 22$. I mentioned is for my daughter and she desires a bob: ”oh no, bob cut requires a blow dry.“ “Why? Is hot, 107 degrees... We hot want a summer cut“. “No you cannot have it without a blow dry“! How is this any mode of conducting business? Is only what they want not what they advertise. The salon supervisor was rude, muddy and with an attitude. She's supposed to represent the face of their business and with this attitude...
Don’t be fooled by “designer stylist“. I saw them: weird looking fellows with tattoos, face rings, wearing boots I cleaned (mud present). Is like an Adams Family in reverse (even The lady of the House, in the movie, was more polished and proper.) I’m saying people, very improper for a business of the “mall level“. To wrap it up, I asked about the coupon offered of 20 percent off: “No, a bob haircut won’t cover it!” How is that? Is a haircut nonetheless!!!! So see...

We bought it (microwave) from JCPenney and bought with it a full warranty that guarantees its replacement! In less than a year it went by all wrong, way too noisy, operates on its own, and peeps on its own. They refused to replace it, even though they replaced the whole door, the whole motor, and processor. It took over two months, and three work visits in our house, and still not done. Total waste of our time! I will never buy from JCPenney anything!

I'm giving up on ordering from JCPenney.com. I've ordered a three piece bedroom set only to be abandoned at the doorstep and deliver drivers run away twice. According to their gold credit card member rules it should have been delivered to room of choice, assembled, cleaned up and extra packaging taken away. They did none of that. Just made me sign the delivery paper and run. A few months later I ordered a few more things and each package got misdelivered even though the address on the package is clear and concise. I've declared them each missing and non existent. I'm giving up on JCPenney and after this last package gets sorted out closing down my credit card with them. Goodbye forever JCPenney. Your customer service has really gone downhill.

I went to JCPenney on 7/15/2018. Had a top to return with no receipt. The sale price of the top was $12.99. I always use my JCPenney charge card but they could not find the item. I advised the lady just give me a store credit since I always shop at Penney’s. She advised me the new policy was if you return without a receipt they take an addl 40% off and it would get a store credit for $5.23! That is insane - worse return policy I ever heard - Done with Penney’s.

We purchased a 4 piece bundle kitchen set. Everything but the Dishwasher was installed. Two times their installer came out and said they couldn't install it because they do not have LG parts and recommended getting a GE dishwasher because they have the parts. Customer service first gave us a bogus case number. Then told us they would call us in 48 hrs, which they didn't. Then they said we went beyond the 48 hrs limit when we called. They said they would not return the item (their brand new unboxed Dishwasher) then they said for us to get a plumber to install it. This has been going on for a month. I will not recommend JCPenney to anyone. No wonder they're going out of business. Their customer service Sucks. NEVER AGAIN will I buy an expensive item from them.

Purchased a cooktop and range hood with free installation. Units were just delivered today only to be told by a third party delivery team these items don't get installed. Called JCPenney's sales that confirmed they do not do installs on cooktops. Sales said take it up with the local store for any kind or comp or rectification. JCPenney is not ready to sell appliances.

Please don't buy appliances from JCPenney! We ordered a fridge, it was delayed, so we bought a mini fridge to keep our food cold. When fridge got here, it had a dent, took forever on the phone for the process. And then the ice water machine didn't work, the fridge is so loud it's struggle to stay alive. Again took forever to tell JCPenney that. They wouldn't do anything. They said we could talk after compensation AFTER we pay and delivered. And again took hours to talk to them. Worst customer service. They lied all the time to get the item to your house, then ignore you.

Bought a refrigerator. Was not able to put it in place as I was doing a kitchen remodel. This unit was a countertop depth refrigerator and unfortunately I have a wall to the left side of the refrigerator. Well it will not work. Went to the store to do an exchange and was told no. Only have 48 hours from the time of delivery to do an exchange. Was never told this. I have had the refrigerator in place for 3 days. Would not let me do an exchange. Now I am stuck with this unit that cost me 3000.00 and does not work in my opening. Went to the store. Talked to customer service. Was told if I pay a 15 percent restock fee they would let me exchange. Said, "That's great. Let's do it." As we were getting ready to write the new order was told they changed their minds that I had to keep the one I have. What kind of ** is that. Do not buy your appliances there. Customers don't matter to them. Will never do business with them again.
