    I bought a dryer from JCPenney, I went into the store to pick one out and take home. JCPenney has delivery only, my dryer was out and I only had to wait 5 days. The delivery men show up to hook up my dryer and shorted out my plugin which shut off the circuit breaker. The man rewired my electrical outlet. Turned on my dryer and it made this awful sound. They said it was defective and would have to bring me another one 8 days later. After the drivers left I immediately called JCPenney and canceled my order because I could not wait 8 more days.

    I found out through my credit statement the account had not been canceled. I called again a week and a half later. Finally got my order canceled and they charged me 15% for restocking fee. In addition charged me for dryer vent (which they did leave here) and a dryer cord (which they took with them). So I was charged a $100.00 for nothing other than a $26.00 power cord. JCPenney should not be selling appliance or DO NOT BUY any appliance from them. It is a ripoff.

    I ordered an item online which was to have a rebate. I completed the online rebate form, but the rebate never arrived. Months later, I contacted them, and they said that I had not submitted a copy of my receipt. It was an ONLINE submission. And when were they going to tell me this? What a scam.

    I don't normally leave reviews, but after years of steering clear of JCPenney, I decided to give them a second chance and take advantage of their Bonus Bucks promo this past weekend. On the Friday the 15th, I ordered $178 worth of merchandise, and when my 'use the same day reward' didn't show up in my rewards I called to find out why. I was told that they would not hit my account until the order shipped and to check again on Monday. I kept an eye on it all week, and when the order finally shipped on the 20th I was told that it would have had to ship by Sunday the 17th to be eligible. They refused to acknowledge the misleading information I received from their representative, or to accommodate me in any way.

    So now I will return all of my items and take my business elsewhere. Not only did they take five days to ship, they took away the promo that gave me incentive to place the order that day. The ad said that unlike other companies who make you wait for your bonus rewards, they allow you to spend them the same day, but read the fine print... If you order online then you had better hope your order ships in time or you get nothing at all, even though they took payment on the 15th. Most companies don't take payment until the order ships. This is a failed attempt to compete with Kohl's who never do their customers this way. It's no wonder they have bad reviews, and are on the brink of failing as a business. They missed the mark, and lost me as a customer, again.

    Order a full king bed online, and I never got my mattress after a month and 1/2. They tell me that the order was cancel, but they can't tell me who cancel the order, and now I have to reorder everything all over again, which I ended up paying deliveries fees, recycling fees, etc. Worst online experience with a retailer, and I would not recommend JCPenney at all, for online purchases.

    Bad experience at JCPenney, Ross Mall, Pittsburgh, PA - It’s very unfortunate that I’m being policed around the store for shopping here. A strange human was just following me all through the store. What’s wrong with their CCTV, and internal security systems? I had a very horrible and uncomfortable shopping experience here. I don’t like to do JCPenney from now on.

    I am writing this complaint for my mother. She always has a credit card with this company. She sold her home and moved in with me four years ago. She has a great income and savings, that would make anyone blush! She went to use her card and noticed it had expired (much like that thought she did, as there was no activity for a few years). So, I contacted JCPenney, explained that she was indeed alive and kicking. They told me to do an online application (which I did) and they would contact us.

    A few weeks went by and we get a letter saying we needed to phone them. We did, they spoke with my mom, she answered their questions. Again they said we would be getting a letter in a few weeks. Well, we got that letter today and she was denied. I phone and asked why...they would not tell me. Excuse me? I just did a credit check on her and her credit score is great! So, what's the problem? If they checked her Bank Accounts they would be happy to see her spend in their store. I'm sorry but they left me no choice than to report this.

    I purchased a livingroom set last June. In addition to the horrible experience with delivery, I also am experiencing living with a poorly made sofa. The seat sagged within months, and the padding on the arms flattened. We are a family of 4, and sit equally on all seats, but this particular side on the sofa dented. I called JCPenney a month ago, and was told someone would get back to me with a date to come and add more stuffing to the arms and seat. I hadnt heard from anyone, so I decided to call back before the 1 year passed. This time I was informed it's not under the manufacturers warranty. At one time, JCPenney sold decent quality furniture. I will NEVER purchase furniture from them again, I'd go to a second hand store first! Shame on you JCPenney for not standing by your furniture. This particular set has been unavailable for quite some time...now I know why!

    At a staggering 26.99 interest rate this is one of the worse possible cards you could own. Unfortunately, I had one and they had my credit limit at $7300. I paid the entire balance off and I guess I missed a little bit of change or something because the next "statement" said that my payment was past due $39.77. That one late payment in the years of having JCP card brought my credit limit down from $7300 to $500. A total of $6800 which will totally mess up my available credit and will mess up my credit score. Thank you JCP. I will be posting this on every single review website I can find.

    The Sephora in JC Penney are a joke and knockoffs of the real store in terms of product knowledge and recommendations. I was referred to a setting powder that was not a setting powder but a mix in with foundation (I had never heard of that). So I purchased and threw away the receipt because all Sephora have the best return policy ever. When I figured how it wasn't setting powder 1 week later and returned, they gave me an inhouse merchandise credit that they said could be used online because the product I wanted wasn't in store... Turns out it can't be. Wrong again!!!

    The associate #** at store #2877 for transaction scoffed at me rudely that I didn't have my receipt and tried to me feel silly for purchasing the powder when one of her colleagues told me it was setting powder and pointed out that I should have read the box. Seriously?? You guys work there and should be experts... I have always had positive experiences at Sephora and this was just the worst... I will never step foot in JC Penney's for the rest of my life ever. The only time I pondered going in was the Sephora is closer. Done. You should seriously fire that employee, she's costing you business. No wonder you guys are going out of business.

    My email stated that my order was ready for pickup at the Town Center J.C. Penney in Hampton, VA and when I went to the store after work the clerk said it was not there. She would not call the online number that I had, she said that I was mistaken and it was being shipped. Not ready for pickup. I called the online number and they confirmed that my order was ready for pickup. I was dismissed by the younger clerk because I was older and made to feel I could not read "ready for pickup". I was not happy with the way the clerk dismissed what I was saying to her. All Baby boomers are not ready for the nursing home!

    Ordered some cargo shorts from JCP online. Realized immediately that I ordered the wrong size. You can’t cancel online, but rather call their number within 10 minutes. I immediately called and was put on hold for 20 minutes. I was informed that I waited too long to cancel even though they had me on hold.

    I placed order for a pair of shoes online. I was supposed to get it between 7 to 10 days. Assured date by May 12th. Never received it. Called them. They said it is shipped to local store. Local store says they never got anything. Called them back to cancel. They say they cannot cancel and local store needs to do it. Local store says they don't have anything on the order to cancel. It is just a runaround. They just pocketed my money and refuse to give the item ordered. Now have to call my bank and place a dispute. Horrible experience. Never order anything online from JCPenney.

    Ordered towels for a Mother's Day present, was shorted, called in and was promised they would be overnighted to me so I would have them before Mother's Day. Get a notice will be here on Monday, day after Mother's Day. Called and spoke to 4 different supervisors and did not get this resolved and was finally given a pitiful $5 credit. What a joke!!! Apparently you cannot trust this company to do what they say they will do, customer service is nonexistent with JCPenney. They should have refunded the whole amount of the 2 towels they shorted me and said keep them for your trouble. This would not be a big issue, most people would have just went to the store and got them there, but I am disabled as I told them and cannot get to the store. So this was and is a BIG stressor for me. What happened to keeping your customers happy and doing the right thing?

    I have had a JCPenney card for many years. I use it and then pay off the balance on time and have never been delinquent at any point. Because I am in debt on something else, not even a credit card JCPenney took it upon themselves to close a perfectly good account for no reason and did not even attempt to inform me. Please beware even if you do the right thing and make payments and are trying to get credit re-established. Do not trust JCPenney Card Services. It's unfortunate they just lost such a good customer. The worst part is I am a senior and their clothes and those items fit well. A lot of us shop (or shopped) there. I am spreading this message to everyone I know to not trust them. Due to an illness I became delinquent on something, though no fault of my own and that balance is only 900.00. This is an unacceptable practice, not that I can't get another card somewhere else, this one was just inconvenient.

    JCPenney in Green Acres Mall is by far the worst ever. I explain to a sale associate I just lost my mother and I just wanted to look for a dress, she told me "sorry for your lost, but the store is closed." Anyone that was on the line to pay for their purchases, she made everyone get off. Her response "these people think we don't have a life." Also I asked the associated at the jewelry counter could she ring me up. I had two pair of earrings in my hand. Her response "I'm the only one here and it's going to be a while."

    There was one customer standing in front of her and she and the customer were taking turns talking on the phone. I believe she was trying to help with credit issues for the customer. She kept telling the customer to ask why about credit issues. They were on the phone about 20 minutes. I bought this to the manager's attention. His response "Oh yeah we only have one person working with the high end jewelry at a time." I also told him about the long lines. He said it should be three registers open but it was only one. However did make the other associates open up. I was on the store about 45 minutes and walked out without anything.

    If this company goes under I would not be surprised. I will never ever order anything from this store again. Every other business is encouraging consumers to order online and pick up in store. They will even give you discount for in store pickup. Not JCPenney. These guys will actually charge you for shipping to the store. Don't you know that getting people to the store should be your main marketing strategy to get people in the store since you are mainly a brick and mortar business? Most other businesses will bend backward to get your item to you as fast as possible. These guys will do everything to delay your order.

    Now my story. Ordered a shoe online on April 24. Order was shipped and received by the store in North Attleboro, MA on April 30th. Today, May 3, and these guys in North Attleboro do not even know what I ordered. My shoe is probably sitting on a wet floor somewhere in the loading dock waiting for someone to trip over it before they send me a notification to come get my item. Last time I am ever ordering from JCPenney.

    I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but many of the dress shirts JCP has marked down with special "clearance" pricing always say, "Few Left" are actually SOLD OUT when you try to make a purchase. I've lost track the number of times I've seen dress shirts that were on clearance sale with a special discounted price that were actually sold out and continued to advertise the special clearance discounted price for days before the shirt was removed from the website. They might as well advertise they have washers & dryers on sale for $19.95 each while supplies last.

    When people try to buy those items for that price JCP will conveniently be "SOLD OUT". They do this type of advertising all the time with men's dress shirts that are on "clearance" sale and they will be the first to tell you there is NO such thing as a "rain check" for ANY item on "clearance" sale...price is ONLY good while supplies last. Effectively, JCP is conducting a bait & switch. When a clearance item becomes sold out (CONVENIENTLY happens a LOT with men's dress shirts) they are fast to tell you about similar items available at their everyday low pricing...such a deal...NOT! Bait & switch is just another form of a scam. Kohl's DOESN'T play these "clearance" pricing games.

    Well I have finally had it with JCPenney. I have shopping at JCPenney for most of my life. As a child this is where my mom usually took me for clothing and I have continued there as an adult for most of my 75 years. The past maybe 10 years customer service has become almost none. You can never find anyone on the floor to assist you. There are few places in the store to actually pay for your items and often there is a long line and wait.

Shortly after I placed the order, I came upon the exact same set, same brand new, same items included, at Bed Bath & Beyond for $80.

    Horrible customer service! Ordered washer and dryer online on 4/4 and entered accepted payment method. Set up delivery for 4/12. Received call from delivery department on 4/11 stating my order would be delivered between 1030-1230 on the 12th as planned and I would receive a call 30 minutes prior as a heads up. By 430, I hadn't received a call and the delivery hadn't been made so I called the delivery department and left a message. While waiting for a return call, I called the status phone number on my order confirmation and the automated system said my order had shipped. I thought that the delivery folks may just be delayed.

    Delivery department called me before 5 pm and let me know that someone from JCP had actually called them on the 11th and canceled my order noting "customer no longer needs item". I had not called to cancel my order at any time and my husband and I actually took the day off work to receive the delivery. He directed me to JCP customer service. This gentleman was very nice and apologetic. He handled the hiccup well. I called customer service and explained the situation fully thinking that maybe a mistake was made and someone had cancelled the wrong order by accident. Things happen and although this would be an inconvenience, I was still not yet upset. The agent transferred me to an escalation agent.

    While holding for this next agent, I checked my email. I had received an email on the morning of the 12th stating that my order was canceled because the item was no longer available. Order status system said that my item was shipped... and the delivery department told me that I supposedly called and canceled the order. The agent came on the line and I again explained my situation. He told me that my payment was declined and they had tried to process twice and it wouldn't go through. I asked him why they didn't call me about it so I could rectify the problem by calling my bank to assure them this wasn't fraudulent activity or provide them with an alternate method of payment. He said they called PayPal and PayPal denied the payment and wouldn't release funds to them.

    I again asked why someone didn't call ME as their customer to talk through the issue. He said they sent me an email. The only email I received is the one where it tells me the items are no longer available...not that there was a payment problem! And I received on the day that I was to have my items delivered, not prior! He asked for another method of payment and that he would set me up for another delivery. I let him know that I did not want to order my appliances from JCP any longer.

    I then called PayPal to find out why the payment was denied because the payment actually showed as pending in my account. PayPal said that they didn't decline my payment and it was still pending because JCP just had to grab and accept it. PayPal also states that they have no record of JCP calling to talk about the payment as the escalation agent said. I asked PayPal to cancel the transaction so that it doesn't go through to JCP at a later time for an order I never received.

    After this, JCP escalation agent called me back (unexpectedly) apologizing for the problems and offered me a $400 discount on my order. I appreciate the offer, however, declined because I don't have trust in JCP's processes since they don't know if 1 - I canceled my order, 2 - my items are no longer available, 3 - My order shipped but was not delivered or 4-my payment was declined. I heard all 4 of these responses from JCP about my order. All 4 are incorrect. I went to Lowe's last night and ordered a set that is a step up from my original order at JCP for $300 cheaper and they are delivering to my house today. If you're considering JCP for your appliances, don't waste your time!

    I was at JCPenney store at The mall in Nashua NH and It was 9 o clock so I was trying to get out of the store with my 1 year old but I was park at the other side of the mall so the lady didn’t let me get out. She said I had to get out through the door that goes to the street because every mall door closes at 9 pm. It was just 9 o'clock and they closed the door on my face and send me out with a 1 year old when outside was 20 degrees. My surprise is they were lying. Every door on the mall was open.

    Last Tuesday night my washing machine went out. I went to JCPenney in Hiram, GA on Wednesday after work and purchased a new GE washer from Camille. She is very nice and for her part very professional. The washer was scheduled for delivery on Saturday. I was a little surprised because Home Depot, Sears, Best Buy and others deliver next day. On Friday afternoon I received a call that my washer would be delivered on Saturday between 11am-3pm. The driver would call 30 minutes prior. Well on Saturday it got to be 4pm and I still had not received a call. I called the number on my paperwork. The automated service said my delivery was scheduled for 2pm. Obviously it hadn't been delivered at 2pm.

    I called the store. Camille happened to be working. She made some phone calls and found out that my washer didn't make it on the truck for Saturday's deliveries. Just great!! And no one could call and tell me that before I spent the whole day waiting on it?? Then to top it off the next available delivery day was Wednesday! Not Monday but Wednesday a full week after my purchase! Well today is Wednesday and still no washer!! I called the store again this morning at 11am and spoke with the manager on duty as the store manager is on vacation until Monday. She said that she would look into it and either she or the appliance department manager Tony would call me back.

    At 3:45pm Tony the appliance manager called me to let me know that my washer hadn't arrived from the distribution house yet to go out for delivery. REALLY!! So at this point I have no idea when my washer will be delivered! I inquired about having the store floor model delivered to me. Tony stated that it was a terminal offense to deliver a floor model. I asked if he had spoken to the store manager to see if some sort of exception could be made as I've already been without a washer for a week. He said he was trying to find out and he would call me back. They keep saying that GE is responsible for the delivery and that it is basically out of their hands once the sale is made.

    I told them that I feel that I should be compensated for all of this hassle and it taking more than a week to receive my washer. Their answer to that is - "GE will compensate you." Really? Well, I'm not holding my breath as they can't even deliver a washer as promised. I am awaiting Tony's call back. I still have no resolution to this issue at all. They have my money and I have no washer. I would not recommend to anyone to purchase an appliance at JCPenney's. I have no intention of purchasing anything else from JCPenney.

She proceeds to inform us that WE have to drive to a freakin' store AN HOUR AWAY or WE PAY to ship it back to the .com folks. Only after that will we receive credit on our charge card for the wrong item JCPenney SENT US!!! After all that they would happy to ship your purchase that you had to buy all over again!

    JCPenney is the worst store ever. I ordered a new $3k refrigerator and $4k on washer and dryer. They told me delivery date would be March 16th so I planned my move to my new home around this. On March 16th as I was moving they called and said my refrigerator would not come until the 29th and my washer and dryer would not come until April 3rd. After a heated conversation with their highest level escalation person, they agreed that they were going to compensate me for this by giving me back at least 10% of the purchase and that they would call me on the 29th once the refrigerator was delivered to let me know about the compensation. They never called!

    Then on April 3rd nobody called and no washer and dryer came. So I called and they told me that it had been rescheduled to the 10th. I asked why they did not call and they told me that their contracted delivery company never calls them to let them know that they rescheduled deliveries. I asked why would they use a delivery company that does that. She told me she did not know and is constantly getting complaints for the same problem. This is the worst customer service company and they do not treat people right and do not care if it is fixed or not. If I could give no stars I would!

    Constant calls to set up delivery (3 different delivery dates). All the calls were automated, most would hang up as soon as we tried to hit the number with the option we needed. Would give the item number extremely fast without repeating, but would repeat the number to call back twice very slowly (despite showing on our phone). Delivery came for two of the same dressers, but they delivered one of the correct order and one of a different dresser. To correct this, we need to wait 3-5 days for review, then they’ll let us know when they can come pick it up “if we’re not backed up”. We can get the refund (which may take a while) after they pick up the wrong dresser. To get our correct dresser, we need to order it again. Truly awful service, getting ahold of anyone, let alone anyone helpful has been a nightmare. Absolutely will not be ordering here ever again.

    Very irritated with customer support major appliance. I purchased a slide in stove online and it was promised to be delivered 3/29. Had to be home of course so I took half a day off to stay home to revive my stove. 4:30 comes around and it still hadn’t arrived so I called JCPenney who informed me it was still going to show up. They are just running late. Called again at 8:30. Said it probably won’t show up but will definitely be there first thing in the morning and to call as soon as it does show up and they will compensate me 10 percent so I took another half day off work. 10 comes around and still no stove. So I call and they said it was coming for 1-5. Great. Another half day off work turned into a whole day.

    So this is my 2nd day I’ve taken my time to stay home. No calls to tell me it wasn’t coming to go about my day. Finally at 3 or so I call again and they tell me that the guys whose truck it’s on Isn’t working today so I wouldn’t receive it after I was told multiple times it was. Finally Saturday morning the range arrives. The delivery guys were in a rush. Didn’t even want to bring the range in the door but I made them. After they left I open the box and there is a dent in the side of the range.

    To top it off I call JCPenney after it was delivered just like the woman told me to and she said it was on GE not JCPenney. Thinking I need to call back and just tell whoever to come get it. If I didn’t have so much time invested in getting the thing and the calls there would be no question. JCPenney customer service was nice enough but you can promise a customer something so they won’t cancel the order and then not follow through. It will be the last major appliance I buy from JCPenney and I’m aware GE was also to blame but I purchased through JCPenney. I was their customer so it was their job to make it right.

    When it comes to buying appliances I highly recommend staying away from JCPenney Pensacola, FL. My experience has been trainwreck after trainwreck. I purchased in January of 2018 a refrigerator, stove, microwave, dishwasher, washer and dryer from Merna. It is March 29th and I still don't have my frig hand dryer. First delivery date they were a no show and called after the timeline.

    2nd delivery date they broke screw in dryer and had to order new one. The frig was damaged with several dings and scratches. Offered me 150.00 to take that one or order new one. 3rd delivery brought another dryer but was wrong color, still no frig. This Saturday the 31st of March refrigerator is coming but not dryer. I had sent pictures to supervisor of appliances showing her color match was off and was not the dryer on display in JCPenney on showroom floor. I also went to JCPenney to speak with the supervisor, Jaquie, because she didn't contact me like she said she would, to make sure this issue was taken care of.

    She was leaving for the night and referred me to sales associate, Merna. The supervisor told me she was moved to another department, jewelry, but would still oversee transactions made on her shift in appliances. I had sales associate call Samsung to confirm supervisor ordered another dryer. I also talked to Samsung who told me my new dryer would be delivered on the 31st with refrigerator. I told them I wanted both still in the styrofoam box sealed tight with straps. The Samsung representative responded, "So you want the white glove service." I told her I wanted what I saw and purchased from JCPenney, not damaged and different appliances.

    I was told by Samsung that the refrigerators do not come in a box. But when speaking with supervisor of appliances for JCPenney she said they did and that she inboxed all the ones on the Show Room floor. I after speaking with Samsung I asked to speak to the manager, Joe, of the store. He told me he would take care of everything and told me how much trouble they have had with the delivery agent. Told me he would take care of the install of my microwave and dishwasher even if he had to put it on a JCPenney card. Then said when everything is complete he would look at would they would give me for my inconvenience.

    The store manager assured me I would hear from him the following week which I did not. Two weeks later with 4 days until delivery date of the 31st I decided to go see the manager since he did not call me. The manager showed me a email from escalations saying there was never a complaint put in about the dryer and it had not been approved. The manager told me he thought they would come through and would have me a dryer coming with my refrigerator. I went home and called Samsung and JCPenney customer service and they said all they knew about was a email made dealing with Joe that I had not been approved yet for a new dryer.

    Samsung asked me to send pictures and model and serial #. Then I contacted JCPenney's corporate office and he said the same thing. I told him I was thinking about returning everything. Robert told me that adds another problem that I would have to pay a 15 % restocking fee. After speaking to Robert Samsung called back and told me they got the pictures of the dryer and could see the differences in the color but had the same model # . She said they couldn't guarantee a new one would be the right color either. I told her the ones on the showroom floor in JCPenney match in color and that's what I purchased. I suggested I talk to Joe the JCPenney manager about refunding me the washer and dryer and then reordering them together again to get a matching set. Joe responded, "Who's going to pay for that."

    And then said he could put it on the JCPenney card. Joe asked me not to talk to anybody else that he had his circle of people working on all this and he had faith they would come through. I went home and called Samsung again and they said I had been approve and started the process to get it delivered. They said up a delivery date of April 7. I texted Joe, JCPenney manager and told him. I got my first response from Joe. He said fingers crossed. The following day I decided to call Samsung to validate April 7 delivery date again and they told me they saw the 7th as the delivery date but underneath she saw that the dryer was on back order and wouldn't be in until the 19th. She said she didn't know why he scheduled it before that. So she rescheduled it for the 21st.

    So now I have the refrigerator arriving on March 31 and the dryer on April 21. I will have all my appliances 3 months after purchasing them. Now let me tell you my experience with the delivery drivers. The first delivery scheduled they did not show up at all and called after the time frame to tell me. On the next delivery I watch the guy take a used box off the refrigerator, not styrofoamed like other appliances were and then later shows me dents and scratches and said you saw me unpack it. When he installed my stove he didn't use NEW part to attach to floor so the stove wouldn't go back all the way. I was told I had to purchase all new parts or it would void the warranty.

    He had to put new part on and when he took old one off he pulled paint off my wall and cabinets I just painted. Next delivery the guy tried to tell me the parts weren't included. I told him they were and that I paid for them. He went to the back of the truck and got them. I have been without a refrigerator since the day before of the delivery day of the damaged one they brought me., I was without a dryer until the delivery date they brought the wrong colored one. Even JCPenney associates have told me that don't like selling appliances to customers because they know how bad the service is. Merna, showed me a stack of complaints on her clipboard and said that's not all of them. Joe the manager took that clipboard when I was placing my complaints.

    Updated on 04/01/2018: I was suppose to have my second refrigerator delivered on March 31st and have my microwave and dishwasher installed. My delivery time was from 2-6:00 pm. Instead of getting my delivery and install I got for the second time a call saying the delivery truck broke down and they weren't going to deliver. Now I got that call at 5:30 pm. I'm going to take a educated guess that delivery guy didn't want to do a install that late. I'm pretty sure it was the same guy that was suppose to make my first delivery and called and said the same thing. Next I messaged Joe, the store manager but of course I didn't get a response from him. So I drove to Penney to see if Joe was there. I must have just missed him because a employee told me managers have to stay later when there is a holiday.

    So I then stopped by to talk to Merna, my saleslady I bought from. We went over the conversation we had last time I saw her. We were on the same page about the dryer and refrigerator was suppose to be delivered on the 31st together which didn't happen. (Refer to first review.) Then I stopped by and talked to Jaquie who was the supervisor of appliances at the time of my purchase. We also were on the same page about the dryer and refrigerator suppose to be delivered both on the 31st. Matter of fact Jaquie showed me where she sent Joe the manager the pictures I sent her of the dryer. She told me she had told Joe they needed to get this order right and had also spoke to the district manager Matt. Sounds like Jaquie was trying to follow through and make thing right. But after that the trainwreck continued because I was shown a email that there was never anything said about the dryer and it went approved.

    I was told to send pictures that was already given to the supervisor by me and the supervisor sent Joe the manager. I also sent Joe the picture after I sent it to Samsung and they approved a new one. So now I am waiting to hear from the delivery people for another delivery date. Oh and on the 31st the day I didn't get my delivery for the second time my bill for the appliances arrived for the first time. I sent Joe the manager a copy of that and said "It's your turn, I wanna know how much of this bill is going to disappear for this trainwreck?" I told him I think all of it should. I am now trying to contact the District Manager Matt. Looking for the hidden phone number. Now I know why so many Penneys are closing.

    On Feb 10 I helped my mother order a twin XL mattress and box spring from JCP online clearance. It is now March 29 and we still do not have our order. However, we have received 5 delivery confirmations and drop off times from 3 different trucking companies, only to call the following day to say they cannot find part of our product. Each time this call comes just after my elderly mother strips her existing bedding and twice she has had helpers or family waiting to assist her, not to mention she has had to cancel 2 medical appointments in order to be home during the 4 hour delivery windows.

    I've called customer service multiple times which is usually a 30 minute hold either to be disconnected or connected to a minimum wage worker pretending to be the manager when I ask, with no professionalism. During one of the calls I was treated like a human being by Lori/Laurie and she made a few follow up calls trying to remedy the situation. 2 weeks later and still no bed. I would cancel all together but my mom already bought twin xl sheets and bedframe. She has been a loyal JCP shopper all her life. Never again.

    I don't recommend this! I bought an appliance at JC Penney over a year ago. The first year my appliance covered by the manufactory warranty. My appliance broke down a few months after one year. Thought that it will covered 100% by extended warranty that I bought but NOOOO! JC Penney couldn't repair it due to the part no longer available. They refused to replace a new one for me. Instead, they cut me a check of the purchase price only but not include delivery fee, installation fee, and haul away fee that I paid for. So I had to purchase another one and paid again for delivery fee, installation and haul away the old one. How dare the sale person asked me at check out "would you like to purchase 4 year plan extended warranty"? Really? Only reason I went back to JC Penney was they were the only one that had matching set to the rest of my appliances.

    I recently visited the JCPenney bridal/jewelry department at the Tacoma Mall and was simply amazed by the level of care and appreciation that these folks have for their customer base. First of all, my reason for visiting their store was to hopefully find a better experience than what I had just had with another store (not a JCPenney), where I had actually bought a similar product but was not thrilled at all. My intentions were to browse the JCPenney selection in order to make a more educated decision so that I could better decide how to proceed with my current purchase from the other store.

    However, from the moment I made contact with the sales associate, Michael, I was directed to the specific product/style/design that I had interest in, and I was offered professional and friendly input and information on not only the product, but also general knowledge surrounding the product line, which ultimately led to being able to comfortably and confidently make a purchase. I was absolutely flattered by the dedication to customer appreciation and care, as well as the knowledge and personal interest that the associate actually had in the product line. Furthermore, just to add a little cherry on top, Michael set me up with a store card as well as outstanding savings, which left me absolutely thrilled to walk out of the store with 100% satisfaction and 100% peace of mind. I will absolutely do business here again.

I feel because there is not JCPenney within a decent driving distance that I am penalized and forced to pay almost $9.00 for shipping when one shirt is costing me almost that amount. No longer any free shipping on no minimum purchases, but you have to spend $100 to get that. Many online retailers off discounts on shipping or even free shipping with no minimum order. No wonder why JCPenney is having problems. The cost of a sweater might be reduced but they sock it to you with such high shipping cost that the sweater is almost what it was normally. Have been a JCPenney customer for almost 50 years and will not be buying online or in any store that is an hour away from me.

    I purchased a couch for my son in the 3rd week of November 2017 on the JCPenney.com website. To date (3/02/18) the couch still has not arrived. The original 3rd party delivery company that they subcontracted the delivery to received the couch at the beginning of January. It was torture getting them to make an appointment with my son to actually deliver the couch.

    They finally made the appointment, but then cancelled the morning of the delivery claiming that the weather was an issue. Each time my son attempted to call to rearrange a new delivery, he was given the runaround and multiple times the company would tell him that they needed to "get their hands on the merchandise". What??? They finally made another appointment to deliver the couch, for which he had to take a day off to receive the delivery... only to be called again. He was told they could not locate the merchandise and would call him back by the end of the business day.

    Needless to say they never got back to him. He had to hound them to get a supervisor to call him back. One finally did, and they made an appointment for delivery on 2/21/18. Mind you... he had to take another day off for this. Finally the delivery truck arrives late afternoon on 2/21/18... and guess what??? NO COUCH ON THE TRUCK!!! The driver told him that the drivers don't load the trucks, dock workers do, so he had no idea it wasn't there. Essentially the company made a fake appointment with my son as a smoke and mirror show, we believe to placate him, until they could order another couch to replace the one they lost.

    Well... in the meantime I've been in touch with JCPenney Furniture department this whole time with complaints and questions, and asking for assistance with locating and finally delivering the couch. Most of the time I would get the runaround. And once, a very nasty little customer service rep told me, "Ma'am I already told you I don't know what to tell you, it's evident we aren't getting anywhere with this call" and HUNG UP on me!!! However, on 2/21/18 when I called again, understandably really angry, and explained to them what just happened again, and how the truck now did show up but it was empty, a very nice Supervisor of the furniture department felt terrible, ordered another couch under the same order number and eliminated the delivery fee. She then assured me that she was putting in for expedited delivery and he would have it in 5-7 business days.

    I received a call from Tana from the Corporate Furniture division on 2/27/18 asking how things were going. I told her that at that point my on still hasn't received a call. She told me she was going to check on it and get back to me. Well I haven't heard from her yet. Well, here it is 7 business days and my son has not even received a call from the delivery company yet (I was also assured that a different subcontracted delivery company would be used). I called the number that was given to me by Tana and was on hold for over thirty minutes until I finally gave up and tried to call the Supervisor that ordered the 2nd couch. I got her general department and have spoken to a very nice rep. who did some digging and found out that Tana did in fact make some calls on 2/27/18 and notated in my history that "THE COUCH IS LOST!!!" AGAIN???

    On top of the fact that she's not called me back yet, I am super fuming at this point and trying patiently to hold while this current rep gets a hold of Tana (we hope). So, to pass the time while waiting on hold yet again, I decided to write this review as I feel this is THE WORST handling of an order I've ever encountered. Currently I am waiting to see if Tana is actually going to call me back as the nice rep sent her an instant message... My advice??? Save yourself the grief and aggravation - go to a REAL furniture store. JCPenney should stick to clothing only - and I'll probably never buy another thing from them either.

    I purchased a GE stackable washer and dryer (model GUD27GSSJWW from one of your store locations (2163, Calumet City) on 2/3/2018. The scheduled delivery date was 2/10/2018 Order number **. Spirit Delivery brought the unit and before the technicians left the premises. I inquired about them staying to ensure the unit functioned properly. The technician informed me that this is not a requirement but I can wash clothing and allow the dryer to run about 30 minutes to remove the new smell. I added clothes to the washer unit and the unit did not work. I called the technician back and the 800 number regarding the unit not working and was informed the technician had left the area and would have to come back next Saturday (only to repair/check unit for malfunctions).

    The following Saturday, 2/17/18, a GE technician came to my home to inspect the unit, he informed me that the unit was inoperable and a new unit would have to be ordered. To my dismay the unit would not be delivered and picked up until the following Saturday 2/24/18. Today another tech came to my home to pick up the inoperable unit and replace it with a new unit. Unfortunately, the new unit was damaged in transit. The knobs were missing on the unit. I am so frustrated with JCPenney’s lack of customer service and ability to deliver a unit, which I purchased. I called the customer service number and was informed that GE would accommodate me for my troubles yet that would be decided after the successful installation of the unit.

    The installation of the unit has never happened neither has the compensation for the money I have spent going to the Laundromat. That’s poor customer service, I have been without a unit for almost a month from the date of purchase. I spend more than $50.00 every week going to the Laundromat for a family size 4. I have experienced frustration trying to find a solution to this matter. I continuously contact Spirit Delivery, GE and JCPenney to no avail. GE points the finger at JCPenney, JCPenney points the finger at GE yet I still am here without a washer and dryer. Who holds the blame for the defective unit.

    My boyfriend bought me a ring for Valentine's Day. It was gorgeous and I was really excited about it. The first night I brought it home I realized one of the diamonds in it was missing, I brought it back the next day and they exchanged it no problem. A few days later I got the ring caught on something and the band as well as the setting were both deformed. I brought the ring back and because I had the care plan, they sent it off to be fixed. The lady working at the time told me it would take two weeks for the ring to be fixed.

    I went back in two weeks and the man working then informed me that the ring was not in and that it would take 4-7 weeks to get in. This shocked me. Had the women originally told me that it would take 4-7 weeks to come in, I would not have been so upset. However; the first ring I received was already missing a diamond, and my current ring is taking MUCH longer than expected so needless to say I will not be buying jewelry from here again. There should be some type of tracking number given to buyers so that they can track what's happening with their fine jewelry, as it would relieve a lot of stress and anger.

I noticed later that I received two order confirmations by email so apparently the first one HAD gone through, even though the app said otherwise.

    When I called and tried to cancel one, they said they couldn’t. They said I could refuse the 2nd order when it arrived. I said, "Well if I’m not there when it arrives, will you pay for me to send it back since it is YOUR MISTAKE?" They said no. I said, "Well if I get an overdrawn charge from my bank (I paid with a debit card) because of YOUR MISTAKE, will you pay for that?" They said no. At no point in the conversation (with two separate customer service reps) did I receive a simple, "I’m Sorry for the inconvenience (and EXPENSE)." I told them to close my account, I won’t be ordering from them anymore. No wonder they are closing stores in droves, the service is appalling.

    I went in and the salesman (dept. manager) said, "If you buy two of these you get $100 rebate." He pointed out the Frigidaire refrigerator and stove. We asked if they were qualified for the rebate and he said "yes". He did the paperwork and off we went. He gave us the rebate forms and the other paperwork and made sure we knew to send these rebate forms in with the necessary documents quickly, to as not to be turned down for being too late. The items were delivered late, but delivered nonetheless. We did what was required for the rebates and sent them off in the mail. Later we found out they turned down the rebate due to us not sending in a copy of the receipt, etc. Now I know for a fact that we sent that information in the first time, but sent it in again. Went to the rebate tracking site and again was told it was turned down.

    Finally, got a person to use the chat function (usually it doesn't work they say it's only opened during certain days and times, yet you trying to contact them during those days and hours). I asked the person who was using the screen name "Carlos". He told me the models I bought were not part of the rebate, the model numbers of both were invalid. I asked what else we could do because the store said they were, he sent the information to someone else who could help.

    Now days later nothing from JCPenney rebates, so I try their system again, this time I found an automated phone number, gave me the same invalid reasons. The automated system transferred me to a person. He again said the model numbers were invalid and nothing he could do. He said the store shouldn't have done that, but he can't help. I believe this is fraud because I have pictures of the refrigerator in the store with 2 forms of information taped to it showing the rebate information. So selling without the intent to rebate is fraud. DO NOT BUY FROM JCPENNEY's.

    I just tried to order some items of women's clothing from JCPenney on the phone. I told the person I wanted 9 of the items in white and 1 in beige. She selected those choices, along with size, etc. Then she took my contact info. I was THEN told that there was only one item in my size in white. I was told that their system tells you the availability of an item after they get your contact info, not before. Hmmm. Most, if not all, other places tell you before. I cancelled the order and asked the person to remove my data. I hope it's gone. Anyone have any thoughts about whether that really happened?

    Besides this fatal flaw, which aborted this, and possibly future transactions, here was my JCPenney phone order experience: The item of clothing I was looking seem to mostly have one of two prices online at: $20 or $14. The higher price was the manufacturer or more high end outlets, the rest discount outlets. JCPenney was at the lower price point. I got a person pretty quickly after calling JCPenney, and she was American. Getting information thru did not go that smoothly. Part of the problem was drop outs in the connection caused by my phone carrier; part of it seemed to be other things. Everyone working as phone reps seems to be slightly dyslexic now, and I'm not sure JCPenney's computer system was fast enough. The person I spoke to could have had better comprehension and less volatility, but I guess working in a system designed that way riles up all parties.

    Suggestions for JCPenney: Establish availability of items upon selection. I was ordering on the phone to avoid giving you my email anyway. Consider allowing online orders without sharing our email address. I got through on the phone fine but consider providing a non-800 number as an alternative because sometimes my phone company's connection to 800 numbers is spotty. That network can be congested and those calls don't go through. I have a large, legacy phone company. Tell people exactly what carrier/grades of mail they are choosing and how long it really takes to get to their location. Let me choose. I would have wanted USPS Priority Mail. If you are misusing or conveying our data to third parties, I hope you stop that. JCPenney as a company seems to be on the precipice. Make good choices.

    On 11/28/2017 I purchased a Serta iComfort Blue 100 mattress set from the JCPenney store in Springfield, VA for $951.91. Delivery was not available until after 12/25/2017, so I chose Saturday, 12/30/2017 as the date of delivery to ensure that I would be at home. On 12/30/2017 the mattress set was delivered. It had snowed the night before but had started melting that morning, leaving a lot of dirty slush on the ground and streets. The delivery guys didn't even bother to wipe their feet (or to cover their shoes) and so tracked dirty slush through my house and onto my new off-white carpeting.

    When they brought in the mattress foundation, I noticed that the material was ripped, so I pointed it out to them. I told them that I was refusing to accept the foundation. They called it into JCP customer service. A customer service rep asked me to verify that I was refusing to accept the foundation, which I did, and I also asked for a replacement foundation to be sent. I asked when I might expect to receive the foundation and she replied that the delivery company would call me when it was ready for delivery.

    Fifteen (15) days later, on 01/14/2018, not having heard a peep from JCP, I called customer service and spoke to yet another service rep to inquire on the whereabouts of my mattress foundation. The service rep seemed to have no idea what I was talking about. She told me that their computer system showed that I had refused the foundation but that no replacement had ever been ordered. I asked her to please order a new foundation for me. I also asked her about when I could expect that to be delivered and she advised that she did not know.

    On Thursday evening, 1/18/2018, I went back to the JCP store where I purchased the mattress set to try to find out what was going with my order. I walked around the store for 10 minutes before I could even find a sales associate to help me (one sales associate actually turned around and walked away from me when I started to ask her a question!). I finally found someone working in the towels/linens area, who told me that there was no one working in the furniture department that evening. I was so furious that I went back home, called JCP customer support, and told the service rep that I wanted to return the mattress.

    When the service rep asked me what was wrong with the mattress, I told him that it was useless to me because it didn't have a foundation, and JCP had no idea of when I would receive it. The service rep advised that he would place an order with the delivery company to schedule a pickup, and that the purchase would be credited to my JCP account once the mattress was confirmed as returned.

    The following day, I went back to the JCP store and spoke with a sales associate in the furniture department. She told me that she had worked for JCP for 42 years but that the company had recently been experiencing delivery problems. She apologized for the issue and asked me to give them one more chance to make it right. She asked that I call JCP customer service, tell them that I did not want to return the mattress, but instead wanted them to order a new foundation for me. She also advised that I ask for a price break for my inconvenience.

    Feeling calmed down, I decided to give JCP one more chance. I went home, called JCP customer service, and told them what I wanted to do. The service rep told me, "I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it's too late because the return process has already been started." I informed the service rep that JCP had just lost a lifetime customer and hung up on him.

    The following day, I went back to the JCP store to tell the sales associate what had happened. She apologized again and asked if I wanted to start the order process all over again. I told her NO, I was just going to go across the street to the mattress store, pay $100 more, and have it delivered in 48 hours instead of seven weeks.

    At this point I am furious with JCP. Seven weeks to wait on a mattress set? Give me a break! Over the years I have purchased a lot of furniture from JCP: sofas, loveseats, chairs, end tables, lamps, dining room set, grandfather clock, bedroom set, and several mattresses. NEVER AGAIN! This experience has totally turned me off from them.

    I bought a unitized Wash and dryer at JCPenney. It arrived on January 12. I tried to use my washer and dryer on the 13th with no luck. This brand was GE. Since then, I have been constantly calling trying to figure out how I can have this lemon replaced. The process has been very painful. The GE rep as well as a JCPenney rep should be coming to my home on the 23rd to half the machine checked. I am writing this review from a laundromat (my second time here). I've never used one until now. Why do I have to go through all of this to get a defective machine replaced? I was also advised by one of the representatives that I should have called within a 48 hour period after receiving the machine. Why only 48 hours?

    Anyway I tried calling on the 13th and the 14th with no success. I was even on the phone for over an hour waiting for the rep to answer. I was supposed to have a GE rep visit me on the 17th of January. Due to bad weather, the rep had to cancel. We had to reschedule on the 23rd. I contacted to JCPenney reps. The second rep with very helpful and kind. We were however on the phone for 56 minutes. The first rep was not. I received no confirmation number. It was the second rep, Linda who gave me my ticket numbers for her call and the previous rep's call. Why does it take this long to get this rectified? I spent over $1200 on this W/D as well as on warranty and parts. I'm still waiting for resolution on this case. I would encourage consumers to pause before choosing JCPenney for their major appliance purchase. I work hard and have little free time and yet I have spent almost 3 hours trying to may JCPenney do whats right. We will see what happens on the 23rd.

    I ordered an item on Dec 26, 2017 with a Visa gift card. (Order number ** ) Received order confirmation and waited for package. On January 9th, I contacted customer service and told them that my package had not arrived. They told me that they had issued me a refund on Dec 27th and that the order was out of stock and would not be coming. Only problem was NOBODY had contacted me to tell me that a refund had been issued or that the package would not be shipped. I had thrown the gift card away a week after I finished spending all the money on it, so I completely lost the refund. $40 down the drain. Customer service told me the item was back in stock and he could re-order it for me. I said fine. (Order **.)

    1/19/18 rolls around and I contact customer service about my package not arriving. AGAIN they tell me that I was issued a refund the day after my purchase and that the order was cancelled. AGAIN, nobody had notified me that I had been issued a refund or that the package was not arriving. I have worked in online retail for 5 years, and we ALWAYS notify customers immediately if an item is on back-order, along with an offer to refund and an estimated wait time for the order to arrive if they would like to wait for it to restock. If an item is out of stock indefinitely, we issue an immediate refund and NOTIFY customer of the refund and out of stock item.

    We call and leave voicemails, we e-mail, we text, if necessary. To give absolutely no notification of a cancelled order is insane. Customer service also said they were unable to give me documentation that a refund was issued (I still haven't gotten my money back from my second order) so I have no idea if I'll be getting my money back.

    I really have to laugh at myself for not looking at these reviews earlier. I can't see this company being around much longer... I was looking for a mini fridge for my room and saw a nice Haier 4.5 cu. ft fridge on sale. For the price & the size, it was an amazing deal. So I made the purchase on January 2, 2018 for a ship to store delivery, and I received an order confirmation email stating that it would be ready for pickup Jan. 8 - Jan. 11.

    As I waited for an update on my mini fridge, I noticed that the tracking order indicates that my order was still "In Process." There were no shipping updates about the mini fridge. My fridge had yet to ship. So as Jan. 10 rolls along, I spoke to a JCPenney representative online through the chat system. I asked if there were any updates on my order because the order confirmation stated it would be ready by tomorrow, Jan. 11. I was told from the representative that there's no updates on my mini fridge and that once the order ships, then it would take an additional 4-7 days for it to arrive in store! Wait, what?! I asked if there was any way of knowing when will it shipped. The representative stated she does not have that information.

    I proceeded to ask if there was any way of cancelling my order. I no longer had faith that this order was going to arrive timely. The representative said no but I can return it once it arrive in store. I mean okay? When is this mini fridge going to arrive?! I made sure to thank her and we ended the conversation from there. So the story doesn't end here... I decided to call JCPenney's Customer Service after that online chat. I was on hold for about 5 minutes and was able to talk to a representative about the status of my order. The rep. told me that the order was still in process & had to transfer me to the Appliance Department to get help. I have no idea why. But it sounds promising right? Well no. I was on hold for more than 20 minutes & no one came to pick up the phone. Unfortunately, I was on my lunch break & couldn't wait any longer. So basically, I received no help again for that 27ish minute call.

    However, my story ends well. BUT NOT because of JCPenney. A few days later, I went into my bank account & realize that there were no charges on my account from JCPenney. According to the order confirmation email, "Orders placed using a valid JCPenney Rewards member login will be issued Rewards points when payment card/account is charged and item(s) have shipped." So I'm guessing, unless it's shipped, they don't charge you. I'm also a rewards member and noticed that I wasn't issued the reward points. Either way, I didn't receive a charge from JCPenney.

    I made sure to report my credit card I used as missing/lost. This will cancel my credit card until I get a new one & prevent JCPenney from charging me for the mini fridge. And that is that! I made a purchase from another form of payment for a new mini fridge at Walmart and picked it up SAME DAY. Imagine that?! It's now Jan. 18, and my tracking order STILL says that the my order is still in process. It's the most ridiculous thing that they have yet to do ANYTHING (cancel, charge, etc.) with my order. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not order anything from this company. Order from somewhere else and save yourself the trouble.

Today, I spoke with a manager named Tyler, and She was extremely impatient and rude. And basically hung up on me at the end of the call. She kept raising her voice and was not professional in any way, shape or form!! This experience has left me with a decision as to whether close my account and take my business elsewhere.

    After Thanksgiving I decided to purchase the SAMSUNG kitchen appliance suite from JCPenney. The main reason for purchasing from JCPenney was to give business to the company, instead of using my usual home improvement store. The first delivery date was scheduled for December 23, 2017. That date was changed by SAMSUNG to January 3, 2017. On January 3rd I did not receive any kind of phone call from anybody in regard to what time of day the delivery would take place.

    I was proactive and made the phone call. With that phone call I found out that the delivery date was changed again. Now to January 24th. Since I already gave away my old appliances prior to the first delivery date I was extremely disappointed. So I went to another store and ordered the appliance and have them in my kitchen since January 12. I went to JCPenny to cancel my order. There were no apologies. It seemed to be a normal routine for the store to take orders, but not to fulfill the order in a timely manner, and to let the consumer dangle for weeks on end in hopes to receive the product. I forgot to mention that there were also promises of monetary compensation of undisclosed amounts made to me by the SAMSUNG delivery service. Something is amiss here.

    I blame JCPenney for doing business with SAMSUNG. One would think that if a company cannot deliver a product in a timely manner that JCPenney would have some kind of a recourse. This morning I had an email from JCPenney telling me that they are sorry but they have to cancel the order because the products are no longer available. This prompted me to write this review. I feel deceived. I canceled the order not JCPenney. Consumers should not have to put up with this kind of treatment. In future I will shop at stores that will follow through with their deliveries and not be the good Samaritan and help out a struggling company.

    I ordered a sofa and loveseat on JCPenney few days before Black Friday. Found that the money has been deducted from my credit card on Dec 16 last year. When I did not receive any update on the order after quite some time, I called up their customer service. It is probably the worst customer service I have called. After a long hold time, a woman picked up the call and told me that all she sees in my order is that the item has been shipped. When I asked where is it shipped to and that I have never received anything, she said most likely it has been shipped to some local trucking company.

    Apparently the trucking company is supposed to call me and arrange for the delivery. Of course, I did not receive any call from any local trucking company for several days. So I called JCPenney back. This time another woman gave me the name of the trucking company and said it will be delivered within a week. Again nothing happened for more than a week. When I called the trucking company, they have no idea of any such delivery.

    So basically this seems like a huge scam that is going on. With the reviews all over the place, it seems like JCPenney has taken money from lots of people and many of them did not get their item delivered. As of now my item is somewhere between JCPenney or some third party warehouse and local trucking company and it has been in transit for a month (if what they are saying is true which I highly doubt).

    NOT IN MY ENTIRE LIFE HAVE I EVER FELT THIS COMPELLED TO WRITE A NEGATIVE REVIEW ABOUT A COMPANY. That's how awful my experience was with everyone, with the exception of a few, at JCPenney's. I buy/consume a lot and I’m kicking myself for having ordered my washer and dryer from JCPenney. I ordered a washer and dryer over the Christmas break 2017 to take advantage of the sales and because my dryer broke. For multiple reasons, I am not only extremely dissatisfied, but I am going to request a huge discount on my product for the extra 7 hours of my time it took to track down, deal with and reorder my washer and dryer unit. Let's deal with each issue in turn:

    It was nice that the online site prompted me to purchase required parts for the machines, but apparently it failed to tell me that I didn't purchase the stacking kit, but I somehow purchased the installation for the stacking kit. It also didn't prompt me to purchase the required parts I needed to hook up the gas dryer. So after two weeks, I luckily have my units, but since there is an extreme lack of competence and communication on JCPenney's part, they are sitting in my garage, inoperable. It would have been nice to have the website prompt me to buy the required parts so I could have my units installed at all. Anyhow, I ordered my units on December 28th for a delivery date on January 3rd. On January 2nd, we are called by the delivery company and told that our units are on back order and we needed to call JCP for more information.

    I call JCP and finally someone answers the phone 50 minutes after I've listened to the same damn song over and over. A nice woman named Camilla says that our dryer was damaged in transit and that there are no more dryers available by Samsung and that I will have to call them to figure out when they will be available. After I have her call Samsung, she tells me that I am not to receive my new units (because they need to be sent together) until Feb 12th. FEBRUARY 12th! So I say the only reason why I went with JCP is because it had the best price and it had the soonest delivery date. I would have gone with someone else and paid the extra $100 to not have to wait a month and a half to get my product. She then says that I will be compensated accordingly (Which I was told that I won't receive until I receive the units, but anyway).

    I'm leaving out at least 3 hours of discussions and hold music about alternative options, like getting an upgraded unit or cancelling the order because I can't bear to relive how angered those conversations made me because after waiting over an hour to speak with someone about my order, I was transferred to the repair department, now couldn't transfer me back. By the way, a supervisor, Lisa, transferred me, knowing full well that I had been upset and wanted answers about my order that she couldn't give me. But I digress, turns out that to get an upgraded unit, I needed to go into the store to purchase it and cancel it through JCP. So I do that, when I get to the store and talk with the Manager in Major Appliances, they tell me that I have to call the same people I was just on the phone with to cancel my order and reorder.

    I told the manager that the call center told me to come into the store and have you guys do it, but the store manager of the Culver City JCP told me the opposite. WTF??? WHO THE HELL IS TRAINING THESE PEOPLE??? Luckily the store manager says I can upgrade but they have to call the same number, wait on hold for an hour, just to figure out if they have the upgraded units in stock. I had to get home and the store manager was off her shift so she left it up to the store associate to complete the cancellation of the current units and purchase of the upgraded units pending they were available. Do you think that all of this was completed by the store associate? You guessed it... HELL NO! Nobody and JCP is doing their job, with the exception of a few people who I discuss below.

    So I call back the JCP/Samsung line, get someone on the line after an hour and tell them I want to cancel my order. After about a half an hour more holding on the line, she says she tried to cancel but I have to wait 3 days for her to email someone at Samsung to get a refund that I might see in 10-14 days. I CAN'T BELIEVE THE AMOUNT OF RUNAROUND I'M GETTING FROM THIS COMPANY. I have never, ever experienced this much ** in my life. So, after calling the JCP/SAMSUNG line back the next day to make sure that my order was cancelled, I got this wonderful woman named Michael ** from Louisiana, who put Ken ** from Greensboro on the line who called GE to figure out what really happened to the original units. I finally get the real story behind it all, finally. The washer, NOT THE DRYER, was damaged in transit. When that happens, they can't send the undamaged unit (dryer in this case).

    So Ken somehow got the GE folks to send out a washer, which was not on back order, to go out with my original dryer and he magically got them to send it for delivery on January 12th, not February 12th. So we got a win there! And everything was on track for January 12th. We got the call that they were delivering our products the morning of the 12th, which they did. Here's where the delivery got funky. I apparently didn't order the stackable kit, only the installation of the stackable kit. And I may not have ordered the required parts either, I won't know that for sure until tomorrow. Anyhow, the delivery folks say they won't hook up my dryer because we didn't order installation, which was untrue. I get on the phone with JCP and the delivery service and JCP says that we didn't order the stackable unit, but ordered installation.

    So I say why didn't you tell me that you can't hook up the units without the unit if we are installing in a garage? How the hell am I supposed to know this if you don't tell me? By this point, 6 hour so of my life wasted on the prior stuff I told you above, I am livid to say the least. The very nice JCP guy, Daerrion from Greensboro, handled my anger very professionally. I ask him how long I have to wait to get the delivery guys back, because they left by this point as they can't technically do anything and it really isn't their fault, but I'm pissed because I've not washed any clothes for two weeks and I'm about to lose my mind over this whole situation. Daerrion gets all the appropriate people on the line for me to get out the techs to install the dryer/washer ASAP, thank God for him.

    But, this poor man, has to deal with people like me who have gone through now 7 hours of hell, paying A LOT of money for appliances, he nor I should have to deal with this. I have never hated a company more than this. JCP, you will NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER get one more cent from me. I will encourage anyone I know, and I influence a lot of people, to NEVER EVER EVER patronize your establishment. I'm not sure how you are still in business. And I truly believe that the JCPenney call center folks mean to do their jobs well but there were two folks that made my experience awful and 3 folks that were fantastic. If it weren't for Ken ** and Daerrion in Greensboro call center and Michael ** from Louisana, I would have blasted the internet, and news sources of the absolute failure of JCPenney to service major appliance customers with obtaining their washer and dryers in the timeframe promised by JCPenney.

    I can safely say that if they said I wouldn’t get my units until a month after my promised date, I would have gone straight to Home Depot, Sears or Best Buy and gotten my product within 3 days. The only reason why I went with JCP in the first place was because their prices beat those others by about $100 but let me tell you, IT WAS NOT WORTH IT. I've spent 7+ HOURS on hold on the phone and talking with well-intentioned but incompetently trained people who didn't write down notes and didn't know how to leverage their supervisors for the correct information.

Had to return the order just to change the delivery option and then rebuy which does not make sense. After rebuying the fridge, which I was forced to do because their system won't redeliver with 4 guys unless I rebuy, the delivery company used the excuse of the mud floods in Montecito to reschedule. The lady, Nicole, totally lied because we have 4 freeways that come to our house. She took advantage of a calamity and distressful situation that had no effect on them, as an excuse to not deliver.

    Talk about a person that will use any excuse to cover their lies. I found out that it, again, had something to do with not having 4 people available to do the delivery per another lady named Vanessa who was very very rude. Why lie? End of story, I'm still waiting for my fridge after 3 weeks. Meantime, I already got my bill for the total of $8K without the credit to the original fridge and have to pay to avoid interest.

    I ordered 2 Malouf CarbonCool® + OmniPhase pillows in the "Standard" size, which the "Buyer's Guide" link above the selection on the JCPenney site, explained was a 20 x 26 size. As the general description of travel pillow did not change between "Standard" and "Queen" and they did not have a "travel" option, I relied on the Buyers' Guide. My receipt, attached shows "standard" on the order. I clicked on the "Track order" later and it said a "maternity Pillow" was ordered and would be sent.

    Concerned, I looked again at the description of the pillows and noted that product description did not change when I looked at “standard” and “queen” but rather described a “16x12” size and called it a “travel” size. The JCPenny site did not offer “travel” size as an option. Concerned I called their hotline and informed them that the order they said was being sent did not reflect what I was ordering according to my receipt. The customer service rep proved unknowledgeable and I requested a Supervisor who likewise was unhelpful insisting that I had ordered the "standard travel size" and refused to listen to me or to follow the links saying she knew what she was talking about.

    She then hung up on me (though I did use an expletive at one point in my frustration with her). So I called a second time and requested a second supervisor. She then told me that I would get a "Standard" and that I should not worry about it. I said if it was not the 26 x 20 "standard" bed pillow that it was not going to work. She repeated that I should not worry. I did not want them to send it if it wasn't the right one.

    I then contacted the manufacturer because I could not find a "standard" on their website and they confirmed that they did not make a "standard" only the travel and the queen. They said they would work with JCPenney and get the site corrected and to "enjoy" my new pillow. I see where the site has now been corrected because of their intervention, to specify "Travel" or "Queen." The pillow I was to get was also supposed to be white, but it was black/dark grey. I received the pillow from JC Penney and of course now to get my refund I must drive 150 miles or pay for shipping to return it. The most unhelpful "Customer Service" I have ever experienced.

I had to wait about 2 weeks for my ring to come back in. I go to the store to pick up my ring. So happy. Less than 2 weeks my stone fell out in November. Very disappointed. I call the store. Ask what can I do about my stone falling out. I didn't purchase the protection plan so the nice lady said, "Come in and I see what can I do". I come in.

Having ordered a gas range and a refrigerator on Nov. 24, I have had to endure a long series of mistakes and botched deliveries. My first delivery in early December included a refrigerator with a large scratch on the front door, which I refused. It also included a gas range which the delivery men could not install because they were not authorized to install a gas range(?). They left the range in my kitchen and I hired a plumber to come and install it. When they came to pick up the old range, they did not have a refrigerator. Instead, they delivered another identical gas range. This was already 2 weeks into the process. They told me they would deliver the new refrigerator the next week, but when they did they realized that the new refrigerator would not fit into the same door being used to remove the old refrigerator.

    The vital information about an extra 1/2 inch in the dimensions was left off my notifications. So, I had to hire a carpenter to remove the door jamb. Now, after waiting 7 weeks, I have been told that they will have to postpone for ANOTHER week because of the storm. The problem with that is the storm will be ending this evening, and my delivery was set for tomorrow. The only correct thing I can announce is that JCPenney gave me a small rebate to help pay for the plumber who installed that stove. So far, no rebate for the carpenter who removed my jamb. This is terrible customer service from a company that is anxious for my business.

    My first ordered of blinds was damaged. The odd thing was outside package was not damaged. When I opened it damaged so bad they couldn’t be installed. Call JC Penney and they stated I would have to return the damaged product to one of their stores. We did. They credit our account and ordered a new set and didn’t charge us shipping for the replacement order.

    So today we received the replacement set and it was damaged more than the first order. Customer service says return them to one of their stores. I said no. Not until they replaced they sent us a new set. The person said they can’t do that. She would order the replacement but would charge us again and wouldn’t credit our account until the damaged set was in their facility.

    I ordered a TV on December 21st order Number: ** with no tracking number in email. I got another email on the 27th saying it was shipping again (second email saying it was shipping but supposedly it was already shipped). Called about issue and was given a FedEx tracking number ** (which seemed weird. Everything is usually UPS says UPS In first email). Still nothing on December 30. Call today FedEx and they say I owe 723.83 at time of delivery for a TV I've already paid for. I've called all day and nothing even the Newnan, GA location where it shipped from! I've been on hold for a total of 3 hours and not to mention I'm without another TV! This is completely unacceptable and now I'm doing the work that someone in management needs to be doing.

    I ordered from JCPenney online on December 11th 2017. I paid for money order and waited to hear when the order would be shipped to the store. On the 19 I still hadn’t heard from them so I stopped by the store at the Melbourne Square Mall, and the woman at the online orders desk told me it wouldn’t be in until the 21st and that they would call me when my order arrives. On the 31st, still no contact, I went back to the store, and a gentleman at the same desk told me my order was not in the system and that I would have to call the online order hotline to see where my order was. When I called them a very rude woman assured me the order was shipped to the store and said to go back and tell the man to go look in the back. I called the same man at the store and he went in the back and looked while I waited on hold for 15 mins and said no such order was there in my name.

    I then called the hotline and was transferred to the escalations department where a woman told me my order never shipped from the warehouse and if I wanted to re-order it I would have to pay again. She would not answer why it didn’t ship and just kept saying you can re-order and pay again or go to the store for a refund. The man at the store told me he couldn’t refund me because it was an online order and to call the hotline. I am now out $30 and have no order as was promised and can’t even get my money back. I am a JCP Credit card holder and have shopped there for my whole life and now I will tell everyone I even meet on the street not to shop there.

    I placed an order of a sofa from JCPenney a few days before Thanksgiving Day. Today is Dec. 30th and I haven't received any delivery information from JCPenney. I have called Furniture Customer Service number. After patiently waiting for 45 minutes, I talked to one of the very rude male customer service. I asked for a full refund because either the delivery truck service or JCPenney contacted me for a delivery or have any idea where my sofa is located. The JCPenney website already listed my sofa was delivered on Dec. 21th.

    After asking for a full refund, he, the customer rep told me that we don't refund unless the sofa is returned to us. I am considering to ask one of my friend who works at the law firm to help me with this kind of scam from JCPenney. I already paid in full. I never received my order. JCPenney listed my order was delivered and refused to refund even though JCPenney haven't delivered my order. Hopefully, our justice system will protect all of us who got scammed from JCPenney furniture orders. Please raise your voice and ask our justice system to protect the customers from this fraud.

    Ordered a microwave online from JCP and it was delivered in damaged condition. JCP website specifically states "Easy Returns". Well, over one month later, dozens of phone calls to customer service, hours of inconvenience waiting for the deliver truck and mounting frustrations beyond belief...need I say more! So, it turns out, you can order an appliance from JCP but you cannot return it to the store...you have to arrange to have it picked up again and then reordered and redelivered. What kind of customer service is that? Never had that policy at the other major competitors. Absolutely not worth the few dollars saved over other retailers in the area. NEVER AGAIN will I order an appliance or other major product from JCP. Take note: fair warning consumers!

    I actually frequent JCP fairly often (I am a platinum JCP credit card holder). I usually shop in the store. I tried to order an online item and that is where all my frustration began. I did not have any coupons and I did not want to pay for shipping, so I opted to have my order shipped to the store for pick up to save a few bucks. I ordered the item on 12/8/17. I was never contacted that the order was available for pick up. I tried to call and check on my order, but the hold times were ridiculous. I went to the store on 12/22/17 hoping that it would be there. I was told that it was not there. I asked to cancel the order and receive a refund since I wanted this item before Christmas. I was told that they could not cancel the order in the store because they had not received it yet.

    On 12/28/17 I called JCP customer service to see if my order had arrived. The customer service agent who sounded as if she hated her life, told me that it had been at the store since 12/14/17 and that I would have to go back to the store again to get a refund. The CSR could not tell that I did not pick up the item and/or credit my JCP card! I ended up calling the store directly and speaking to the manager on duty. This manager was a little rude, cutting me off as I was trying to explain the situation and then told me that my item was not there because it was being shipped directly from the manufacturer.

    I have 2 different stories now, but I really don't care because all I want is to cancel the order and get a credit on my charge account. Finally, I was able to get the in-store manager to credit me over the phone and cancel the order. This whole experience has wasted at least 2 hours of my life. I work in customer service and I expect the same high-quality standards that I give to my clients. JCP systems and customer service training are way behind most other companies and need to step it up.

I called JCPenney again to learn that the items were never shipped. The only thing they could do for me was re-order the items again. I do not have faith in JCPenney.

    I will never shop at JCPenney again. I ordered a sectional couch online in October, 2017. I paid in full on my credit card and was advised that I would be contacted by November 29 to arrange for delivery. Well, I never received the call so I phoned customer service in mid-December to determine the status of my order and arrange delivery. The lady said that one of her computers indicated that the order had been cancelled while the other computer said that it had been delivered to a shipper - but they didn't know who??? She suggested I call back in a few days. I called back a 2nd time, (another hour on hold) and the lady told me she had no idea what the status of my sectional was and I should phone back yet again.

    So, I phoned back a 3rd time (another hour on hold) and was advised that the order had not been cancelled and it appeared the sectional was somewhere between the manufacturer and another delivery company in Seattle. She didn't know where but gave me a phone number for the shipper in Seattle. I contacted the shipper in Seattle the last week of December and left 3 voice messages - no one called me back. So, I contacted JCPenney yet again (again, I kid you not, another 1 hour on hold).

    This time the lady told me that the order HAD been cancelled. So, in conclusion, I ordered the $2600 sectional in early October at which time I paid in full on my credit card. Someone along the line cancelled the order (they think in November) but FAILED TO NOTIFY THE CUSTOMER WHO HAD ALREADY PAID IN FULL THAT THE ORDER HAD BEEN CANCELLED. I received no notice from JCPenney that the order had been cancelled - either by email or phone. Then, they have access to my funds ($2,600) for nearly 3 months. Finally the lady in customer service (who was very pleasant) refunded my credit card. I asked for a gift certificate in consideration of this mess and they turned me down and said sorry, we can't do that. Unbelievable. I think it is probably illegal not to contact the customer if they have paid and then the order is cancelled. JCPenney just blamed it on the shipping company. Guess what, no more JCPenney for me - EVER.

    I have had my Christmas completely ruined due to the lack of care and support from everyone I dealt with at this establishment. To begin, they charged my bank account two times for the same order. I couldn't get my money put back in my account for five business days. That made my account overdrawn and I was charged overdraft fees in the amount of $35 due to their mistake. After that was taken care of, I am still willing to wait for the items I purchased because I really loved the items I had picked out. They were unique and very beautiful. It was the only Christmas present I would receive for myself because I care for two special needs children and my funds are very limited.

    I didn't receive the items until the 26th and when I did, they were the wrong color. I don't mean a slight difference in color either. They were bright pink and purple! Something a 5 year old would pick out for themselves. I cried because I had been so excited to receive my one Christmas present and it was all around the wrong items. I called the establishment. After being on hold for 64 minutes, I was told that I could take them to a local J.C. Penney for a refund. I agreed and asked the lady at the customer service desk if I could just find something there because the refund would not be credited to my account and was rudely told "NO". Apparently, online sales are to be completely separate from in store sales.

    So now, it's December the 27th. I am negative $35 in my account and will remain that way for 3 to 5 business days. I have never been treated so badly or been so disappointed with anyone business in my life. They didn't even have the decency to offer a percentage off due to my inconvenience. The lady offered to place my order online for me again with absolutely no guarantee that I would receive the merchandise that I had originally picked out. I am still in tears and shocked by the lack of care and treatment I received.

They said to pick one that was comparable and they would price match. So I searched their website and I got the closest one picked out. The windows are next to each other and we had already put the one up never dreaming this would happen.

    Called and waited on hold forever only to be told that the first rod was too big (original order was 48-86 inch, I needed 76 in) 72-144 in. So I picked another one that was 48-84 inches and I then told they wouldn't price match, after I was already told they would. I asked to talk to her supervisor and she told me that they would tell me the same thing and then continued to say that they were in a meeting for "30 no 40 minutes" before she put me on hold quickly.

    I did some last minute shopping on JCPenney.com on 12/18. I placed the order because the estimated arrival date was between 12/21 and 12/23. The order was split into 2 shipments, I knew because I received an email on 12/19 letting me know that part of my order had been shipped and showed how it was split up. That email showed that the items would arrive 12/27. The following day I received a second email stating that the rest of the order has been shipped and would arrive on 12/22. I then called customer service and the girl ended up telling me exactly what the email said... DUH! I explained that when I placed the order it had said the estimated delivery was no later than 12/23. I personally have never had anything I order online arrive after the estimated delivery date. I do order quite a bit online, maybe I’ve just been lucky. But I could tell the customer service girl was unhappy for whatever reason.

    So I get the first package on 12/22 and in the package was 1 item and a note informing me that the other item was unavailable. Not a big deal since it was just a shirt but had I received an email letting me know would have been wonderful! Why wasn't it included in the email that showed me both items were shipped in that order? I will never understand that. So I call customer service a second time. This time the lady although has a pleasant tone in her voice precedes to tell me that "you should be lucky they sent the note. She works 2 jobs and doesn't have time to check her email" but in the same conversation she tells me that "I received an email letting me know that the air fryers I ordered were unavailable. Maybe the item you ordered was a hot item and you should start shopping in October".

    I in fact started shopping in August, this order was last minute shirts... The order was for 5 shirts total and the one she is telling me may have been a "hot item" was a Henley. Come on... Online had the sizes and colors marked out that were unavailable and maybe someone else's order for the last one went in before mine, all I was asking for was an email to let me know. How freaking hard is that for such a large corporation?!

    I love Penny's clothes so this really bites that no one cares enough to say sorry this happened. They will let someone who can maybe put a word in and change the communication between customer service and the warehouses. Customer service couldn't even see that the warehouse didn't have the shirt in stock. No wonder stores are closing. I tried adding the receipt but it wouldn't accept it. I assure you this is real. I feel that had they put to receive the package by 12/23 it would have been here by comparing tracking information.

    For the record - As of today, I haven't received my Dining room set. Shaking my head for not reviewing this site before buying something from JCPenney! I found an awesome deal for a neat dining room set on 11/22/2017 (Black Friday Sale). The item description clearly said that I was going to be contacted for delivery by 12/11/2017. Still decided to buy since that would still give me enough time to have my furniture at my house in time for Christmas. BIG MISTAKE!

    First, no one, and I really mean NO ONE EVER CALLED ME TO ARRANGE DELIVERY. I was the one who had to call them.

    The first few times I had to hang up because the wait was far from ridiculous. The automated message will tell you "Your wait is about 8 minutes" (still too much to answer a call) but seriously, be prepared to wait on your phone for a WASTED HOUR just to get ahold of someone. Once you reach the Customer Reps very few of them take ownership of the situation and they would find any excuse to transfer you to a different department. (keep in mind that you will have to wait another chunk of your time waiting to reach someone again).

    By the THIRD TIME I HAD TO CALL THEM to get an idea when I was going to receive my furniture, a lady answered and tried to get ahold of the delivery company to arrange a date (another LONG WAIT). Finally someone but the available date was still A WEEK AHEAD. At this point believe, you don't care. You just want your ** furniture. BUT THERE'S MORE! The day BEFORE MY DELIVERY DAY, a lady from the delivery company called to tell us the furniture was found to be broken so they were NOT GOING TO DELIVER. She told me to TRY TO CALL THEM AGAIN to find out what they want to do next.

    Again, ANOTHER LONG WAIT of almost 45 mins. I finally got to talk to a gentleman whose name is Tyrone (or similar) and he did tried to help but turned out that what he did was "not the appropriate procedure". He created something called a "Ticket" so "higher management" will have 24 to 48 hrs to CALL ME back with answers. But like I said before, what he did to try to help turned out to be wrong. I waited to call again after the 48 HOURS HAS PASSED, only to find out that there was no need to create the previous mentioned "Ticket". That the order would have to be CANCELLED to PLACE A NEW ONE and START THE PROCESS ALL OVER AGAIN!!! At this stage you would like to die!

    I have lots of family coming from out of town to spend Christmas together and we DON'T HAVE A PLACE TO EAT! So I decided to follow the new Customer Rep instructions and cancelled because she guaranteed me that they will honor the price. The CR proceeded to process the IMPOSED NEW ORDER only to find out that I didn't have enough credit on my JCP credit card because the credit for the cancelled order doesn't show automatically. It takes at least 3 days for the credit to be available again.

    ANOTHER ISSUE! The rep placed me on hold (AGAIN) and supposedly talked to a Supervisor and got to re-order my dining room set again. Why didn't she do it on the first place? I have no idea. I just checked my order on the JCPenney again and it still shows that it was shipped and NOTHING ELSE. If after reading all this you still want to buy something from JCP, be ready to be frustrated, angry and don't forget YOU WERE WARNED! Isn't this why the retail industry is dying? Sorry but this store is being one of the top ones for so long, WHAT HAPPENED TO JC PENNEY?

    After a couple of days working with their customer service team via their social media a resolution was reached that doesn’t totally fix the situation but did help moreso than calling their customer service had.

    Original Review: Dec. 21, 2017

    If I could give 0 stars I would honestly. Placed an online order 11/25 for a Christmas gift, the item in question showed as in stock with an estimated arrival date of around 12/6. On 12/10 I still didn't have any tracking email and their website claimed it shipped on 11/28 so I called customer service. I was told I had to wait 12 business days to do anything. On 12/14 I called again and I was told it would ship USPS and arrive between 12/19 - 12/21 and they apologized for the delay of a Christmas gift and told me if it wasn't going to make it then to call back and they would expedite shipping to get it here for Christmas. Ok then.

    Now it's 12/21. I called today. They haven't shipped still but only just printed the label, they stated it will arrive 12/28 which is past when I needed it and over a month late from when it was ordered! Not to mention when I asked to expedite as I was told they would they would do nothing. This is pathetic to take over a month to receive an item that shows as In stock online. I will never ever do business here again I will close my JCPenney card and I will be sure to tell everyone I know to avoid JCPenney.

    If you are in dire need of an appliance find somewhere that does not ship. I ordered a refrigerator on December 4th with expected delivery date on the 14th. Date of delivery was informed. Merchandise was damaged. No further information was given. Called customer service after an hour of waiting. Was given a delivery date of 12-19. No call. No delivery on date. After waiting for 2 hours to speak with a representative I'm still on square one. No fridge. No answers. We have been without a fridge since December 4th and for a family of 6 that's not easy. Save yourselves the trouble and agony and either purchase where you can get merchandise then and there or where they follow through with dates.

    Ok, so my Boyfriend went to Tuttle mall location and got me an engagement ring. They told him that they had to have the ring he wanted shipped to them and then they'll size it up to my size. When the ring came they all of a sudden wasn't able to size the ring up. Instead of taking ownership they had my boyfriend ask me if I mind putting a ring on my pinky. NOT ONLY was that disrespectful as hell, but they ruined my experience in being proposed to. That was the worst customer service I ever had in my life. That's not it though, they refunded my boyfriend and said he had to call the 800# for the protection plan of $90 to be refunded. Which he did and they're saying he has to go back to the store, so I called the store and they're saying the 800# has to do the refund... I'll NEVER shop with them again or recommend ANYONE!!!

Delivery came finally after little over 30 days and I only got have of the item in the photo just as I thought would happen. After many phone calls and being moved around from one rep. to another and explaining my story over and over again I was to return the piece of furniture and get a refund but 1st had to wait another 30 days for the delivery co to call and schedule a pickup. It's been over 30 days now and I can't even get in touch with anyone in furniture to check on the status. No one will answer the phone now. I have sent a letter to the CEO, I have e-mailed customer relations and no reply from anyone.

I called several times before I finally got a representative (one of those phone loops were press 2 and 2 got me back to the initial menu) who could change a thing.

    3 different JC Penny's stores. 3 different family members during December have shopped at their stores in their areas. What a terrible company for the reason of their customer service. Then I checked JCPennys reviews on several sites after my relatives experiences. OMG! Unbelievable! How is this company even still in business!?!? Or? Where do they get the sad individuals they hire???

    You don't like your job and don't like customers? Then they should keep their sad pathetic existence home on their couch and let someone that does appreciate having a job take over for them. All I can say is my experience the sales lady at jewelry department told my spouse his fingers were today for their rings we were interested in... she's lucky I couldn't get at her or she would be a little sore. Then other relatives had told me similar experiences in other departments in other JC Penny's stores. This company should just hand their stores to another company that can revamp and create a better company with customers in mind cause us customers to give them a paycheck. Do they really think we go to a store to receive their horse face and tragic attitudes???

When I called customer service, the man was very short with me and told me that I needed to go to a JCP store to exchange the item and call UPS to submit a claim for the item that I did not get. I asked if there was anything else they could do for me given that this was the company's error and I don't have time to run around fixing their mistake. I also said that an apology would have gone a long way to acknowledge the inconvenience. He replied "I don't have to give an apology" and then he disconnected me.

Then, they reordered them telling me the size I wanted WAS available, I called back immediately & said just cancel them & they said it was too late. So, I got them again & they were the wrong size. So, as I write this I am on my 3rd attempt to return them. First 2 times nobody ever picked back up. This time, the girl put me on hold in spite of me asking her not to. She yawned several times into the phone during the interaction. She was so lazy & talked as such & was almost inaudible. Once these stools go back, NEVER AGAIN will I order anything from JCP...

On the second order, they overcharged me by 13 dollars. I added everything up, including shipping, and it should have come to one amount, but it was 13 dollars OVER. I also asked them about this as well, but they said they "didn't know why." That was the end of that, no offer for replacement or refund. When I asked to talked to a supervisor, I got "disconnected."

    Where do I even start with this ridiculous store? On Nov. 26, 2017 I ordered 2 items: a 3-pot slow cooker and a KitchenAid mixer. On Dec. 3 I got an email stating my order was ready for pick-up, but when I pulled up the detailed info, it still had “pending shipment” on my mixer. I kept checking it for days and the status never changed to delivered. Just a bunch of variations of “it still hasn’t shipped for some reason or another”. Mind you, I’m waiting for the mixer to come in so I can just pick them both up at the same time.

    Meanwhile Dec. 4th I got a notification that the mixer in the color I initially wanted (Caviar, which is a BLACK) was back in stock so I went back online and ordered it and it was processed successfully. So fast forward to December 9 and I look again to see that my mixer in the first order went from pending shipment to was canceled! I never got an email, a text update, or anything telling me this! So I call and JCP “customer service” line and the prompt says the wait time is 60-something minutes. I waited to call after work and stayed on the phone on hold for OVER AN HOUR (the wait time was 72 minutes this time!) until some rude representative answered and answered my first question as to why it was canceled - there were none in stock.

    She says I should’ve gotten an email, I explain to her that I didn’t and that’s why I was calling for clarification. 2nd question was to make sure they were refunding that money back to my JCP card as I didn’t see that it was put back - this girl goes silent and the next thing I know I’m back in the call queue!!! LIVID! I decided to stay on the phone and wait for another two which took maybe another 5-10 minutes and asked about the refund. She said the refund would show in a couple of days. I asked her to check the status of my other order and she said she saw it and that it should come Thursday Dec 14. Okay, well at least there was that to look forward to.

    To my surprise I got an email the next day saying my order was ready. I drive the 30 minutes out of my way to the store to pick up - and get my heavy kitchen items - and there’s no carts. Sooo I had to get creative and drag one behind me while I carried the other on my shoulder out to the parking lot and to my car. Get to my house, excitedly open the box and voila - A WHITE KITCHENAID MIXER. Inside of a delivery box with a label that said “Caviar.” My order confirmation and receipt said Caviar, even the lady who confirmed the status of the order saw that it was caviar. I had to lug the box with me in order to bring it back to the store after work in the midst of rush hour - since I Work 35 minutes away. Stood in line for 20-25 minutes to return. “Aw. Did you want to try to reorder?” That's a negative.

The store operator not the appliance department answers the phone. I finally got a person on the line after back to back 5 hour calling 8:00 on 12-9-17 (Atis). He indicated if I request correct appliance would have to wait for credit to account to show then delivery would be after 12-28-17. Atis, stated to call back on Monday 12-11-17 at 10:00 am and speak to store manager Kevin (Meyerland Store) to garner assistance relative to this matter.

    In the interim, Atis indicated I would receive a call from him on 12-11-17 at 12 noon as well. Called the store since 10:00 am (Meyerland location) main number and appliance department at which time phone constantly rings then disconnects. I called JCPenney customer line (800) 322-1189 and held on 45 minutes only to be told by Jesse that “any issues I had need to be taken up with the store.” I asked for the phone number to a district store manager after I informed him that he was wrong. I have an option of escalating a complaint especially when the store doesn’t answer the phone. Jesse told me to take up my situation with customer relations and transferred me before I had any chance to count to two. Here I sat on the phone now for 45 minutes and counting. I have shopped at JCPenney for over 15 years faithfully. Now, I wait to cancel my card and take my business elsewhere. Very rude employees who act like the customer owes them something!!!

I have been on the phone with your customer service department now going on 45 minutes and still no one has answered the phone. If you try to chat online there is no one available.

    I purchased a couple of different brands of socks. One part of the order was correct. The second part wasn’t in my package. I was instead given a pair of men’s shoes! I called JCP.com and was told they could have UPS pick up the shoes. That was to have been done yesterday. No one has showed up. In addition, I was told I cannot receive a refund on the items they failed to send until they get the shoes back. So instead of waiting for UPS, I decided to call to let them know they can send me a label and I’ll take the shoes to the UPS store. I called JCP.com and waited over a half hour. Thinking there may be a glitch in the phone system, I hung up and called again. I was shocked to hear an automated voice say that the wait time is now 49 minutes! NEVER wasting time or money on JCP again. Now I have no choice but to drive out of town to the nearest store and explain this all over again. Very unhappy.

    I have been under the impression that supervisors are trained to help resolve issues and have significant customer service training. My experience with a JCPenney supervisor was the worst I have ever experienced or heard about from my friends or family. This issue occurred when I called the JCPenney.com contact number on Saturday December 29th at 12:58PM. After waiting way over an hour on the phone to speak to a representative for a JCP online order, I spoke with an agent but wasn’t able to resolve my issue with my orders. So I asked to speak to a supervisor to see what options I might have to help resolve my issue. I was put on hold again to wait for a supervisor. When she answered the call, she was immediately rude. I ignored it at first, giving her the benefit of the doubt. But then it escalated and continued so I asked if I may speak to a different supervisor or her supervisor. She told me no. Her tone was very rude.

    After being denied the opportunity to speak with someone else, I communicated my concern that her tone was rude. Never mind that she was in a customer service position- I have never been dealt with so rudely even by others that aren’t trying to “help” a customer or in a service representative position. I moved on to the order issue. As I was explaining my order situation further, she started talking over me, not allowing me to talk. I would pause to allow her to finish speaking then start talking again. As soon as I would begin talking, she would start talking over me again and again - raising her voice so she couldn’t hear what I had to say. I asked her if I could speak - she would not even listen to me because she just loudly (almost yelling) at me. I kept asking her to allow me to talk so that I could explain the situation. She just kept yelling. Then I asked for her name but she would not reply. Then she hung up on me.

    She just kept talking until she hung up. I never got a chance to hardly speak at all. I can only guess that she was already mad at someone or something before even getting on the phone with me. Or maybe this is how she treats all of the customers? I spent almost 2 hours to try to get help. And after all that waiting - to get hung up on. I contacted the corporate office - not because of my order. I can work around that. I contacted them because of this personnel issue. Will see what becomes of the issue or if they even try to do anything about it. Who treats someone like this?

    I wouldn’t treat a stranger like this, much less a customer. Especially if I was a supervisor. Although not nice (but not mean either) the first non-supervisor was more cordial than the “supervisor”. I wonder if this is an isolated “bad seed” or if the training process is in need of serious attention by JCP. This was my first dealing with JCP customer service so I don’t have a basis of reference. So disappointed.

    I ordered some clothing from JCPenney.com. When it arrived, the two pairs of jeans I ordered were both the wrong size AND the wrong color. The paperwork included gave me the options of returning to a local store (closest store to me is an hour away-- why do you think I ordered online) or to mail it back at my own expense. Searching the website gave the same options -- no email contact for customer service, no internet return form.

    I wasn't about to pay to ship to fix THEIR mistake, so I tried the one phone number for customer service. First try it said there would be a 30 minute wait and offered to have their system call me back in 30 minutes rather than sitting on hold. Sounded good. I choose that... waited over an hour... no call. So I called them again. This time it said 45 minutes. After over an hour of hold music I finally got a person who then took another 10 minutes to send me a shipping label. So an hour and 10 minutes out of my life for something that should have taken a few clicks on the computer. And I still have to take it to a UPS store to get it sent off. Needless to say, when they offered to reorder the items again for me, I passed. I'll get them from someplace that has reasonable customer service.

Unfortunately, I could only return them at one check out which was located on another floor, way in the back. Once I got there, I had to wait 20 minutes just to return my boots. The transaction itself took less than 5 minutes. What I thought would be a quick in and out turn out to be almost a 30 minute chore. I will never order anything online from Penney's again.

When I called they said it was not delivered because it was not available in stock. I had to hold phone for the representative for 35 minutes and then after that when I asked for the supervisor there was additional 20 mins. Supervisor said she cannot do anything and they have processed refund to my card.

    Now that jacket and vest was useless to me but the only thing they said that I can do is return the item and get refund. Supervisor also told me that the item is not available in the local store for you to pick up. After arguing more, she was able to find one in stock and said that she can send it 3 day express. My son needed it on next day and he was not going to get it but at least he can use it in future so I agreed to buy it again. Although when I checked the local store that evening, I found the pants and the size I needed. JCPenney's customer service is completely useless. I am not going to buy anything online from JCPenney.

Then they tell me to call jcpenney.com so first off anytime you calling them the wait time is 30 mins and above. They must literally only have 1 person answering the phones there. Then she can’t tell me anything. She’s just as clueless as everyone else. They don’t have any tracking numbers, all she can say is it’s on its way. It’s been on its way. 3 days later I still don’t know where my stuff is at. It’s so ridiculous. No one knows anything. I don’t even really shop at JCPenney but I know for a fact I will never shop there now. They have a track order status on the site but that literally tells you nothing.

    On Nov. 27th (Cyber Monday) I placed an online order that has become the worst online shopping experience I've ever had in well over 10 years of purchasing online. As a result, I will no longer shop at or order from JCPenney. I'm finished with them for good although I don't expect them to be around much longer considering how far they've fallen in so many aspects of retailing.

    So, I called in to check on my order today (Dec. 4th) which had (according to JCPenney's invoice) been split into two shipments. I received the first UPS delivery on Saturday but one item of this first part was listed on JCPenney's invoice as being shipped separately. A separate unlisted and undocumented part of part one of the shipment is what it boils down to. It didn't arrive here on Saturday nor did it arrive today and we'll soon see why.

    Now, UPS showed they had completed this first of two parts of the order or simply put, all of part one supposedly delivered. After a few minutes of head scratching I called in to check on this discrepancy between what UPS showed and what JCPenney's showed on the shipping info. Furthermore, UPS doesn't even have tracking info. for the actual part two of the order but JCPenney's shows it as being shipped and they said it will arrive tomorrow, December 5th. We'll see...

    So, I now have a two part order that was magically split into three parts. The mystery package is "an invisible part three" because it was "shipped" after THEY cancelled it and what was the original part two of the order is nowhere to be found on UPS Tracking. I know you're getting confused reading this but think of how befuddled I am about it all.

    Now let me tell you about the arbitrary cancellation that I alluded to above. We have to go back to the missing part or "separately shipped" item in part one of the shipment. After 40 minutes on hold, I was told that they decided to cancel that because it was out of stock. As I said above, it showed as being shipped and shipped separately to boot. It never was in the order to begin with. It existed only on paper and I paid for it up front. They went ahead and charged me for it knowing full well that it wasn't fulfilled or sent.

    It was further explained to me that they did this because they didn't want to give me wrong information about back orders or when it would be in stock again so they "kindly" just cancelled it without informing me at all. They also said my PayPal account would be credited the amount of this part of the purchase but that hasn't happened as of today. I shouldn't have been charged at all for something they knew they didn't have and knew darn well that they didn't send. Anyway, I wouldn't have known any of this if I hadn't called in.

    I was also told that if I really wanted the item then I could sign into my online account, find the stock number again and then add it to my cart. I was told that they were still out of stock and had no idea of when it would be available again so this was, "their solution." The only additional thing I had to do after signing in and selecting was choose, "notify when back in stock" and I'd receive a notification when they had it back in their inventory. Guess what? I started to do this and found that they still showed the item in stock!

    Now the Customer Service Rep was kind enough to say that I could still get the Cyber Monday price if and when the item became available again which it now seems to be although the Rep said it wasn't just minutes earlier. If I ordered again at the currently listed price I'd have to call in again (wait on hold of course) and then explain the whole thing one more time to whomever I talked to in order to get the discounted Cyber Monday price. Yeah, right! I believe that! So much for a streamlined and easy online shopping experience, eh? I ended this call and figured I'd leave it at that. All I needed to do now was monitor PayPal for the refund and hope like heck that I get another package tomorrow.

    So, after this telephonic nightmare I did check my PayPal account to see if it had been credited. It had not. I figured that tonight was a waste of time anyway so I called JCPenney again. I got a different Customer Rep (after an additional 30 minutes on hold) and asked if the first Rep had left any notes on my account/order page so I wouldn't have to explain every little detail all over again. Well, there wasn't even a reference at all indicating that I had called in about an hour earlier. So, after several minutes of explaining the whole situation for a second time, I asked about the PayPal credit and was told to wait 5 to 7 business days for the credit to appear. All I can say yet again is, "We'll see..."

    I also took a chance on this second call and decided to mention the fact that the item currently showed in stock and I explained what the first Rep had said. This second person said he, "couldn't guarantee" that the item was now in stock although it showed up that way on both his screen and mine. I figured what the heck, I'll chance it and almost ordered it again. He did honor the Cyber Monday price but tried to charge shipping. That's when I said forget about it all because my initial order had been free shipping. I know it's not much compared to the savings on the item but it's just the fact that they don't seem to care at all about customer service or customer satisfaction and they don't have the slightest clue at all as to what they have available in their online inventory. It's like he was throwing cyber salt into my online order wound by trying to tack on shipping.

    I'd invested a lot of time trying to get things figured out when they hadn't notified me of anything cancelled or anything different or unusual with my order. After dealing with them tonight I believe they think that the sensible thing to do is throw common sense out the window. JCPenney does not seem to care at all that their failure to do things anywhere close to professionally causes customers like myself to become thoroughly disgusted with their failed retail and online business models. Their practices, demeanor and behavior also results in people like myself deciding to shop elsewhere and never doing business with them again.

    If I receive a package tomorrow and my PayPal is also credited properly, this once giant and reputable retailer will be nothing more than a memory to me, I'll delete my account and I won't ever do business with them ever again. The way things are going, I don't think it will be too much longer before they are just a memory to anyone who ever shopped there.

    I placed an online order Monday, Nov. 27. It indicated 4-7 days for shipping which was fine. It is now Friday and my item has not shipped. Per customer service, items will not ship for 10-12 days and UPS will not deliver until 4-7 days after that. That means customers placing orders may receive their items anywhere from 14-19 days from the date of their order. I would strongly advise shopping online somewhere else or picking up in store if you are needing your items by or before Christmas. The rep I spoke with was unsympathetic. They should really put a disclaimer to customers on their website instead of blindsiding them like myself. The items I purchased were for a Christmas party gift exchange. Due to the lack of funds and time, it is looking like I will not be able to attend the party. Thanks JCPenney. Merry Christmas.

    My whole experience was a nightmare. I made an order of a coat, and then I tried to cancel it to make changes to my order. I contacted JCPenney by phone and was told by the representative that I cancelled successfully and would have my money refunded within 24 - 48 hours. Then she asked whether I wanted to make a new order. I did, buying the coat again with a couple of other things to get free shipping. However, the next day, I learned that, my original order failed to be cancelled, so I ended up with two orders.

    But this is where the real nightmare began. I received my second order yesterday. Instead of the nearly $50 coat, I received a vegetable cutter, which I had never ordered. I informed JCPenney and thought they would refund me for the wrong item. But instead, they thought that I would like to make a new order, and went ahead to charge my credit another time! They then cancelled it, and said my money would be seen back in my account. I'm still waiting to see it, but haven't.

    All in all, I was charged 3 times just to buy a coat. I have never experienced anything like this in my life. What did not help is the attitude of the person talking with me on the phone and charging me without my consent, when in fact I wanted to get back my money. Very unapologetic and "as-a-matter-of-fact.". Their way of handling of complaints is also very unprofessional. You cannot complain to them by email, or openly on Facebook. Neither can you cancel a product online. I can't believe there's such an online seller in this time and age.

After waiting again and two other ladies joining me in line I went back to the jewellery counter and told the same lady that there was a line forming and that we all were very irritated that they were taking so long to find someone to check us out.

To my horror, the receipt that they gave me had all my items listed (even missing ones), when I told them, they mentioned that they cannot do anything and I need to call customer service. I even asked them that "when I asked you mentioned that receipt will have only the items that I am picking otherwise I would have cancelled all the items". Sales rep was pathetic. Instead of this, she mentioned, it's just $10.

    I asked her to return all the items and then she mentioned that I cannot return an item which is not present. You can deliver an item which is not present, but you cannot process return. Absurd and ridiculous. When I asked to speak to her supervisor, she mentioned that the person comes in another shift and if I need to meet him, I should come back tomorrow. Finally, she told that, "I will write on your receipt that the item was misplaced, but it's only $10 so..." Customer service was of no help either. Called them twice, waited once for 52 mins and 40 mins for someone to pickup. Horrible, horrible service.

    On November 26 I placed an order online w/ JCP. I received my confirmation number stating shipping in 2 days. Later I received a email from JCPenney stating they canceled the order - they will not process it. Today Monday, November 27 I called JCP online to see why they canceled my order, no one would tell me why. So I spoke with Elma, a supervisor. Still no clear answer. I then requested to speak with a manager. After waiting on hold for 15 minutes, Sabrina, online manager stated information I entered was inconsistent, and there might be a problem with JCP card holder, she transferred me & Josh, from cardholder stated everything was fine on their end.

    Sabrina refused to replaced the order. Josh, transferred me back to online to replace the order. Which I did, Seconds later I received another email stating order number ** was canceled & will not be process. By now I spent 1 hour & 45 mins trying to resolve the problem. I card the bank and JCP Cardholder did a 3 way call to JCP online. Angelina placed us on hold so long Cardholder Rep. couldn't wait. So I waited and spoke with Angelina who informed me they couldn't process my order, and she sent my problem to JCP Review Department and someone will call me in 2 Days.

    I ordered a pair of overalls then realized they were the wrong ones. I tried to cancel the order but was told that it was too late to cancel. First off I was on hold for 45 minutes and I had placed my order an hour or so before that I do not understand why the order could not be cancelled. I could understand if I tried to cancel the next day but the same day something is wrong with this picture. Now I have to go to the mall to exchange them, that defeats the purpose.

    I have had several unpleasant interactions with the On-Line Pickup desk in two different stores. If there was such a thing as half a star, that's what I would give them. To make a very long story short, I received an email stating my order was available at the store for pick-up. When I went to pick it up, the clerk could not find the order and then told me I must have misunderstood the email and that the item was coming and would be in the next day. Five days later I received another email to remind me to pick up my order. So, I again drove another 30 miles to pick up my order, only to have my previous encounter repeated. After a very long, and not very pleasant "discussion" with the clerk, she issued a refund for that order. I will never, never, never shop on-line at JCPenney again.

    Have lost trust in JCPENNEY. Visited Towne East Location on Saturday Nov 25th. Purchased a Melissa and Doug hand puppet set, a pair of Liz Claiborne sleep pants, and 2 fleece Disney blankets. After leaving the store I looked at my receipt and noticed I was overcharged by 5% on all except the pants. The other 3 items were advertised at 30% off. Rang up at 25% off, which is not much and only amounted to a refund of 3.63, but imagine how many customers over a day's time don't notice a small amount. This is probably resulting in significantly higher profits for the store.

    Ordered dresses on the 21st for a wedding on Dec 2nd. Website says 4-7 business days, I accounted for Thanksgiving so added an extra day. Received an email the day I ordered that estimated delivery was 27th-29th. Yesterday I received an email that they wouldn't be delivered until Sat Dec 2nd. That is an absurd amount of time for delivery, especially during the holiday season. It should be faster, not longer! I called Customer Service twice and both times they were no help at all. They clearly do not like their job or want to help people. I asked to speak to a "supervisor" who was also no help. The explanation I received is that if the package is under 10 pounds the postal service delivers it, not UPS, as stated on their website. She also claimed it is 4-7 business days from the time THEY ship it out, which was Friday so she claims Sat is an acceptable delivery date. NONE of this is stated on their website or made clear when ordering.

    I checked delivery before I even ordered and it says UPS 4-7 business days, nothing about 10 pounds or postal service. The first customer service girl claimed I was wrong and it is actually 7-10 business days because it was coming from a warehouse not jcp.com. Where is any of this made clear on their website?! I will never order from JCPenney again. I have the JCP card and want to close it out at this point. Ordering something on the 21st and receiving it the 2nd is absurd. JCPenney needs to get better customer service reps, people that actually want to help and not be nasty on the phone.
