I ordered a washer and dryer on Nov. 11, 2017. I was told it would be delivered on the 21st. Then received a call that said it would be the 28th. After travelling 200+ miles to meet delivery it never showed. I called and was told it had not even shipped. I called JCPenney customer service to find out what was happening and after waiting 30+ minutes on the phone, was told it had not shipped due to LG delay. The representative could not tell me when I would receive it, so I asked to speak with a supervisor. The supervisor got on the phone after another 40 minute hold, and was aggressive, rude and very unprofessional. She told me I wasn't the only person that had a delay and I would "get my order when I get it!"
Here it is the 28th and I STILL have no idea when I will receive my order. Extremely unprofessional! At the same time I ordered a LR set from furniture and was told I would be notified about a delivery date and my credit card would not be billed until delivery. Yep, you guessed it! I never heard from a soul for two weeks, the credit card was billed. So, I cancelled the order and purchased from someone else. On the 27th I received a call saying they would deliver my furniture the following day??? Really? JCPenney is losing it I'm afraid.

I placed an order online and selected "ship to store". When in the store, they mentioned that they are not able to locate 1 item. I asked them if I can pick the remaining items and will the missing item get canceled automatically. They confirmed in positive and asked me to sign in the touchpad to complete my pickup. 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.

First of all let me say I order online from multiple sites all the time, JCPenney has been the worst by far. Nothing but problems. A few months ago I ordered a few things, the prices were good and I had a coupon. Delivery took forever, when it finally arrived it was a giant box full of someone's order with my shipping slip. So I called them, no one could tell me where my stuff was, they said the only way to get my stuff was to reorder it. So lo and behold over the next few days I received double of everything I had ordered. Ridiculous. Black Friday came around and I thought maybe it was a one time incident. I'll give them another shot. So I ordered a decent amount of things, over $200. It was probably 2 pm.
Today I wake up and they have all these coupons. So I go to their website. It says they have a 14 day price guarantee, no blackout dates, you can use coupons to get the lowest price etc. So I call them again. I'm told they can't change the price, that's what they were told this morning. So I ask to talk to a manager. He gives me some ridiculous excuses why they can't match the prices even though it says on their website that they price match for 14 days. I just ordered all this less than 24 hours ago and you won't price match it? They DON'T EVEN FOLLOW THEIR OWN POLICIES!! I will never again buy anything from JCPenney especially online. Nightmare. DO NOT waste your time and money. They are only after one thing, they do not care about customer service or satisfaction at all.

I was waiting on a long line to get a coupon for $10 off 10 but the store associates skipped me and other people and selectively picked other people behind us and gave the coupons away. Isn't this supposed to be first come first serve? I was disappointed that I did not get my coupon for the first time while waiting in a long line. I always shop JCPenney and pick it over other stores like Macy's and Kohl's but I don't think I will shop here anymore. If Kohl's can send me a coupon at my mailing address why can't JCPenney do this for Black Friday? This will save the shoppers from arguing and fighting with each other and with the store associates. This is injustice to shoppers who are retired and are not employed. Mailing coupons to one per household will also prevent the same customer from going on the line to get another coupon again or multiple members from the same household from obtaining more than one coupon.

Everything I tried to buy on sale for Black Friday was no longer available even though I tried ordering before that day. They sold out weeks before and no longer available.

On November 19, 2017 I ordered my mother and I a Women's 10K Gold 1 3/8 CT. T.W. Diamond Cocktail rings for $10 regular priced $1249.98. Then on November 22, 2017, JCPenney canceled my order for one of the rings. I called and spoke to customer services representatives who told so many lies, first lie was the ring wasn’t in stock, then another lie was all the rings in that same style are unavailable and out of stock. I knew that was a lie so after being put on hold for several minutes and the customer service representative speaking to a “supervisor”, she finally came to the conclusion that JCPenney made a mistake on pricing.
The rings was “Black Friday” deal I got for $10 and the ring was more than $1200 so it was a mistake and JCPenny could not honor my request of reordering the ring they canceled “because if I look at the bottom of the website it says mistakes happens on their websites and JCPenny can cancel the order”. Which is not true. It does say about pricing errors after I search through Google for JCPenny’s policies but it doesn’t say my items would be canceled.
After speaking to a supervisor and waiting on hold for another 40 minutes a supervisor said she couldn’t honor my request or reorder the rings because they were listed as a mistake and I could purchase the rings for $299.99 which I saw now listed on their website and they would reimburse me for my ring which didn’t ship and the other ring was shipped, “It got away and they didn’t catch that one in enough time to cancel it”, I told her thank you, they’re ridiculous it’s false advertisement. They lied to me several times and I will be contacting someone regarding this matter and hung up.
Shame on JCPenny promoting fake advertising about Black Friday’s 2017 fake deals, please don’t buy or support JCPenny, my family and I been shopping at JCPenny all our lives. I’m 34 years old. My grandmother is 72 years old and has been a cardholder for over 40 plus years. Please JCPenny use common courtesy for your future customers, don’t False Advertise, and treat your customers fair. This was your mistake not mine and now you have lost hundreds of customers, my family or I will not ever purchase from you again.

I bought the Serta iComfort Hybrid Expertise PillowTop Mattress from JCPenney a few months ago. The bed was extremely uncomfortable and lacked edge support. The quality was poor, the seams were loose. When I requested to return the item, I was informed that they would charge a $125 restocking fee. After a month of countless call to customer service, the bed was finally picked up. (They would not let me return it to the store.) I then submitted a review to warn others of the hassle it was to purchase and return a mattress from JCPenney. They refused to submit my negative review. It looks like they only allow positive reviews.

I bought a $5 on clearance...$8.95 to ship it! I refine my search to find items that are available for same day pick up at store to avoid hefty shipping costs... it's worthless. Couldn’t find 1 item eligible for same day pick-up, so that’s a worthless feature... All other stores have better shipping options and way less shipping charges! You would think I could pay online and go pick it up at the store. We have the technology! JCPENNEY, needs to get with the times! I know it doesn’t cost over $8 to ship a tshirt... and then they ship so slow.
It's like going back in time to pre-internet times... they are still clinging onto juicing you for every dime they can just to get what you bought in your hand. Not a consumer friendly online shopping experience at all. I love JCPenney, and recommend shopping there, just not online, unless you've got a month to dilly dally around about getting stuff you pay for... Think in the future... I will stick with Amazon! 2 day free shipping with my prime, never any hassles, and super fast delivery. Can't beat Amazon... get with the times JCPENNEY!

Had to return a package, so I paid the shipping to return the package at the UPS store, and then JCPenney deducted shipping cost on my credit card. Actually paid twice to return this package. We called customer service they refused to help. Very poor way to treat customer. Last time I ever purchase from there again. So basically by the time I paid to have package shipped, charged twice to return, I have 30.00 invested and I have nothing.

I have called JCP customer service before to make them aware of the ongoing behavior at their GLEN BURNIE MD location. I was assured the situation would be handled and made better. NOT AT ALL! I love shopping at JCP. It's just the service provided in the location near me is UNBEARABLE. The prices advertised on the display are hardly ever correct at the register. So everyone is waiting on price checks. It's just too much. Someone really needs to do a secret visit and do something to make this better. I should never have to waste time online making complaints! I shop JCP for my entire family!

We have been royally hosed by JCPenny furniture and disrespected and lied to by their corporate office. Fair warning... NEVER ORDER YOUR BEDROOM OUTFIT FROM THEM. It was 5 weeks late. They claim that it is made in Texas once the order is placed yet there were stickers all over it indicating that it was made in Vietnam. Even the boxes that they came in said made in America which is a lie.
We paid to have a very expensive outfit shipped and put together and their 3rd party delivery lost our whole bedroom outfit and when they did finally deliver it they lied and said that they were not responsible for putting it together and left it in huge boxes for my husband to put together only to find out after hours of putting dressers together that the bed would not go together because the people in Vietnam could not measure and drill holes.
Most people save and dream and work hard for a new bedroom outfit and JCPenney spit in our face by offering us $400 for weeks of inconvenience, a bed that doesn't go together, sleeping on the mattress on the floor for 5 weeks, living out of laundry baskets, and when we called the corporate office for updates and explanations they had the unmitigated gull of hanging up on us, handing us off from one manager to another, lying, making us put our furniture together and not returning follow up calls as promised. And beware... If you think that you will get in touch with someone at corporate in a timely fashion then be ready to spend several hours on the phone. They are getting it all back!! We are done and done with JCPenney!!
Updated on 11/30/2017: Another day of lies, disrespect, hours on hold. I called JCP furniture only to be on hold for 35 mins and then to only be told that MXD delivery had not informed JCP that they had picked up our non-American made and broken bedroom set this past Monday. Shawn, the manager finally gave me a processing of refund reference number. He said it can take ANOTHER 48-72 hours for our refund, our money to show back on our JCP Card.
This is another extension of JCP keeping our hard earned money while we have nothing to show for it. Yet another delay. Our money has in fact been hijacked and we are no longer willing to be lied to and put off by JCP. IF our money is not returned by tomorrow, Friday Dec 1 we will be contacting an attorney. $4800 dollars may not seem like a lot to JCP but it very much is to your customer. I will be posting this on every media outlet and source available as well. We were faithful customers and all we got was lies and disrespect!!

I have typically had positive experiences when shopping at JCPenney stores. So I thought buying online would be equally as positive. WRONG! The ordering was easy. They took my credit card number without any problems. I placed the order four days ago and it isn't even ready to be shipped. They said it could take up to TWO WEEKS to arrive! Kohl's: Three days to arrive. Old Navy: Five days. Gap: Five days. American Eagle: Three days. Amazon: Two days or less. JCPENNEY: TWO WEEKS! Ridiculous!

I have an online account with JCPenney and when I went to place my order, I noticed that it had a previous address that it was going to ship to... so of course I changed the address to my current one. I placed my order and I had gotten a confirmation email and it said that it was going to ship to the previous address instead of my current one... even after changing it. After I saw the email, I thought maybe I had done something wrong so I went back to my account and looked under my addresses tab and my old address WAS NOT there. The correct address was, however. So I called customer service and the lady told me that there was basically nothing they could do because the order was already processed. I asked if it was too late to cancel the order because the items hadn't shipped yet and she told me that, yes it was too late. I was furious. I spent too much money for my items for them to not go to my address.
I got another email saying my items had shipped and I received a tracking number from UPS. I called UPS to see if there was anyway I could get the package re-routed and they said that JCPenney would be the one to take care of that. So I called JCPenney again and told them what UPS told me. Suddenly, there was no problem and they were able to get my package re-routed (that was just the first package)...THEN a couple of days later I got another email saying that the rest of my items shipped and I got another UPS Tracking Number... but the items were STILL BEING SHIPPED TO THE WRONG ADDRESS.
I called JCPenney again and the customer service representative was so rude and would hardly let me speak to let her know what happened or for me to even ask questions. She also pretty much called me a liar when I told her that I made sure the shipping address was correct when I placed my order. I will be honest, I got pretty upset with her. I'm usually a very calm person, but when I can't even get a word in... it kinda brings out the worst in me. I told her to just take me to the survey at the end of the call. She said she would but she didn't. Basically... if the error is their fault... it's still your fault. That's the the lesson learned from my experience.

We have ordered a shampoo set (Shampoo and Conditioner) a month ago. We called after 21 days of not receiving it to cancel the order. JCPenney refused. I called the headquarter the first time. They refused to do cancel the order. I asked to speak to someone in the President's office or his secretary. They hung up on me. I called again to speak the someone in the president's office. They hang up again. I called their Ohio office and waited over 15 to speak to someone. I ended up speaking with a lady named Dorinda and she promised to put an end to this, take this case personally, as well as finding out who hang phone on me in the headquarters.
Nothing happened and we never heard anything. We called today her office and she is off. We started to address our concern about our order and about why Dorinda did get back to us she hung up on us. It looks like JCPenney company policy is OK with customer service and headquarters employee to hang up on customers if they have any concerns about their orders or if they have any questions the employee does not have an answer to. This the truth about JCPenney and all those phone were on a speaker phone and others were witness to them. This a company that does not deserve any business or dealing with particularly if you are an honest person. It has been 30 days now and we still don't have our shampoo or money. So we have been scammed by JCPenney and if we do not resolve it we will go court in and ask for a refund, legal fees and time we have invested to get this case resolved.

Ordered online 10/31. Very excited to get great deals. Nov 3rd found other great deal on men shoes. Ordered for same day p/up. Lady stated system issue but had my order. After 2hrs called to cancel shoe order. Meantime, I'm still waiting on 1st online that stated delivery by 11/7. Called store 11/8 to verify items. They stated items were cancelled. I'm very upset & disgusted. Later receive call that they found items & they would have to re-charge me again. Tonight 11/9 went to store and never did JCP do a return even though sales person stated items were cancelled.
We were charged twice for items just because the computer shows cancelled. The other excuse they stated was that one item was not checked in but the shoes were. How is that possible & why is that the customer issue. If an item was not checked in & one was does that not mean the order in fact was never called?? Never will we go shop at JCP or ever order online at this store. Poor online system. Sales team should never charge a customer twice & ask them to notify store 10 days later if the refund of cancelled item don't show up on credit card statement.

This outfit is totally 101 percent bogus. They billed my debit card for 6 tall sized white shirts last May 2017. The local manager Kevin ** who actually lived next door to me stated he did not know what I could do to get my money back. He confabulated that they would need to ship my orders to my home address as their local outlet SSM, MI. 49783 was closing. Instead they shipped via U.P.S. to the local post office wanting me to pay double shipping and handling charges. I would not and the local post office apparently returned the order to JCPenny's last July. I never got my money refunded. They did other stuff like shipping V-neck t-shirts of which I never ever ordered. I ordered the regular neck tall sized T-shirts. Apparently Mr. ** has got plenty enough time to make babies, it is my belief he has got at least 5 or 6 children...

I placed an order on JCPenney Sephora online on 9/26/17, when they had a beauty wow for $12 Anastasia Liquid Lipstick. I saw it on the actual Sephora.com website, however, I decided to buy it from the JCPenney Sephora since I have a JCPenney gift card. I checked online to track the order to know when they will ship it and when I will receive the item. It indicated to allow 1 to 2 weeks to schedule delivery since it will be shipped directly from the factory, so I allowed them an additional 2 weeks.
I called on 10/22/17 to check the status of the order and I spoke with a rude male representative. I notified him that I want to check when my order will be shipped out. He placed me on a brief hold and notified me that they are shipping it out from the factory. I asked him when do they anticipate that it will be shipped out, his response was "I don't know". I waited for him to say anything else but he asked me if I have any other question, as if he answered me appropriately, given I notified him that I was waiting for my package for a month.
After that call, I decided to call again today, 11/4/17 at 8:59 am. Today, it has been 5 weeks and 4 days and my order status online is still "Pending shipment". I was able to speak with a representative and she transferred me to a JCPenney Sephora associate, where I was told the same thing "it will be shipped from the factory", however, this time she checked the cause of the delay since it has been over a month. Upon checking she notified me that the cause of the delay is that the manufacturer may have shipped it in the store and so she starts looking for stores who has the same items in my order. I thought that she is looking for stores so that they can ship it to me, however, she notified me that I have to pick up the items, otherwise, there may be another issue and my order will be delayed again.
At this point, I am so over it and said that I will just drive to the store and pick the items myself. So, she is placing the order and asked me to pay. I asked her if there is a way that she can just take it out from the gift card I used when I purchase the item, since I already disposed of the gift cards. If I pay now, then I would have to use my credit card and that beats the purpose of me using my gift card, which is the only reason I ordered through JCPenney Sephora instead of the actual Sephora website. She notified me that I will be receiving a check in the mail with a refund of amount of gift card. I asked her if I will be receiving a "Check" or a "gift card" and she confirmed that it will be a check. I said okay and she asked be on hold while she gets approval from a supervisor to price match the items.
After 30 minutes of long wait, another representative answered on the other line. I told her I was on hold while they get the price approved by the supervisor, and it seems that the lady on the other line was a supervisor from Ohio. She indicated that the items will be shipped to me and that I have to pay using my credit card and that the refund will be in a form of gift card, and not a check. I have been on the phone for almost an hour and you can imagine my frustration. The supervisor tried her best and I appreciate her effort, but I could not utter a word due to my frustration and disbelief, so I just paid for the items, got my confirmation number and hang up.
I do not often leave reviews, especially negative ones, but I am left frustrated and speechless by this experience. If I ordered my items at Sephora website, I would not have to deal with this mess, because overall I was not able to use the JCPenney gift card I have anyway. I advise that this company make sure to train their representative with dealing with customers. You will have frustrated customers and the last thing that we need, is to speak with a rude, not willing to help, unsympathetic customer service representative that would like to get you off the phone after 2 minutes.

Finally called customer service yesterday 11/1/17 and they said my item was at the store that it has not been check in as of yet but was delivered on 10/31/17 at 2:30 pm. So I drive to the store 45 minutes away with traffic, kids at home and was told that my package was not at the store like customer service said it was. I am out over $220 dollars, no item in hand and don't know where it is at this moment. We are talking about over 13 days almost 2 weeks with no tracking number. This is really upsetting and will not be shopping at your website or store again.

I have shopped with JCPenney for many years. As a matter of fact, their credit card was the very first one I acquired as a teenager. Upon shopping there yesterday, used my card to pay for my purchases and the salesperson said it didn't recognize my account. Called the customer service dept and was told that my account had been closed the day before due to a $30 past due balance. My purchase there that day was over $100, which had to be paid by check. Told the representative that I had written a check a date in Sept for my balance due, which I later found out had not been processed and have no clue what happened to the bill that was sent.
Called the company the next day and paid the balance due of 30 and some change. Representative was very nice and tried to help me on his end, but when going to whomever that was above him was unable to reopen the account. My beef with JCPenney is why would you want to lose a longstanding customer over a $30 late payment, especially since said customer spent way over that in your store using another form of payment, thinking there was just a mix up. I told the representative that if not reinstated, I would no longer shop there. I'm sure it will affect my credit rating which bothers me more than anything, since my credit rating is very good.
One of their stores has already closed in the area, causing me to have to travel about 15 minutes further than I would have before. That's 45 minutes for me to reach a store that doesn't value me enough to simply reinstate a credit card that I have had since I was 16-18 years old. Therefore, my business now goes to Kohls, Belk, and Stein Mart. My clerk at the store was very nice and helpful and so was the second representative that I talked to in customer service. It's the Penny's general policies that are not regarding a good customer.

I placed an order online for a pair of boots that I liked for my upcoming engagement pictures, when I placed the order I selected to pick them up in store so that I would be able to pick them up tomorrow and have them on hand since our pictures are next week and I would not have time to have them shipped to me. After I had paid I noticed on the confirmation it said it would arrive in the store between November 7 and November 10 – my pictures are on the 7th. I immediately called the help number it gave me not even a minute after I placed my order and since you only have ten minutes to cancel the order I figured I would be fine on time to get it cancelled and just replace my order to have it picked up in the store. They had me on hold for TEN MINUTES AND THIRTY SECONDS so I was told they would not be able to refund it.
Okay... So I attempted to call my nearest JCPenney to try and see if they would be able to help me, I called three separate departments trying to contact someone but, alas, not a single person answered. I called each department four times and still not a single person picked the phone up. I will never buy something from JCPenney again, this was my first attempt at purchasing anything from them and due to the horrible service and lack of accessibility I will not be attempting again.

No delivery after 3 weeks. Long wait on the phone then long time on hold with multiple failed trials to contact the delivery company (made by JCP customer service). Order requested to be cancelled and confirmed to be cancelled with courtesy call back to confirm it was actually cancelled. One week after no refund and CS rep that wouldn't listen but informed me the order was never cancelled after super long holding time (now we are one month from the original order and about 6 hours at least on the phone). Asked to speak to a supervisor and was hung up on. Next call just asked for supervisor and after a long wait I was told "No need for the feedback" as no one is interested to listen. This time I did get a confirmation number and will call AMEX to hold up the payment as I don't trust the order was cancelled for sure.

I placed an online order on 10/15/2017 for a pair of boots, I had a code for 20% off and it was free shipping when order was placed. I received an email confirmation that the boots were shipped on the 16th total cost was $38.99. I was to receive another email with a tracking number which I never did, first email estimated boots to arrive by latest Oct. 22, 2017. I never received another email and never received my order. I called JCP on Oct. 25 and spoke to a CS rep. I was told that the boots I had ordered were out of stock! My Visa card had been charged for the $38.99 on Oct.16, I asked how the boots were shipped if they were out of stock and she had no reasonable answer. I was put on hold while she spoke with a supervisor and I was told there was a technical error and I got an apology. I wanted the boots. I told her I wanted my Visa card refunded ASAP which it was, I would NOT wait 3-5 days.
I told the rep that the boots were still online and showing up as available in my size and color, she checked and stated she saw that they were. I was asked if I wanted her to place the order for me via phone and as upset as I was I wanted those boots, so I said yes. BIG mistake. I told her when I ordered them I had a code and she did see the price I had originally paid, but stated she could not override the system and the code was no longer valid nor was there free shipping. I was told she could give me another code which she did and it took off the 20% but I would have to pay $8.95 for shipping plus the shipping is also taxed. I said NO, She then said once I placed the order and it was confirmed she would refund the shipping cost so I agreed. I received a confirmation and the total cost is $48.30 and it states the boots have been shipped.
I checked my credit card and the charge is for the total of $48.30, she did not remove the shipping charge as she said she would. I really don't even know for sure if the boots have been shipped, this has happened in the past years ago and I stopped shopping at JCP for that reason. Customers place an order, you get a confirmation, they charge your credit card and then they never ship the order using the reason "Items out of stock". They were IN STOCK when I ordered them. This is the reason JCP is going down, many stores closing. Very bad customer service, they actually lie to the customers. It makes it hard on people with disabilities to have to deal with these things, making calls, waiting on hold, having to call my credit card customer service. JCP in my opinion is running some sort of scam, they should not charge your credit card until order is being shipped.

Ordered a mattress (Serta iComfort hybrid) online from JCPenney on 9/5/17. It was delivered on 9/20 with a hole in it. Delivery service (XPO) took away my old mattress and was told by JCPenney that they would order a new mattress but to keep that mattress in my home. This mattress only took 15 days from order date to delivery. The new mattress was ordered 9/29/17 and it is now 10/29/17 (30 days later) and nobody knows where mattress is. I was told that mattress was shipped on 10/4/17 from the factory and it's on the way to the delivery service (XPO). When I call JCPenney's customer care on three different occasions I was told there is no way to track my order down that I just need to wait another few days. I called the delivery service myself and was advised that they have not received.
My last conversation with JCPenney customer service was on 10/28/17 where I was advised once again to wait another few days. I decided to put in a complaint and was told the only way to do this was through her. When I asked for a copy of my complaint I was told I could not get one but I received a ticket number **, what good that is to me not sure. After putting in my complaint, I was advised by the customer service manager (who she called herself) that my complaint would not even be addressed because it was not 4 weeks since mattress was shipped. Best of all, my charge is showing I owe for two mattresses one delivered with a hole in it and the other that I never even received. I have to waste more of my time to correct this.

There was no call and they did not deliver the appliance as scheduled. I tried to call several times to both JCP and delivery numbers neither number was successful.

I have had the worst experience EVER with this store and their delivery company... Twin Cities delivery. Where do I start. The delivery co first told me my two queen mattress and box spring sets would be delivered on Saturday 9/23, then I got an automated message stating delivery is 9/26. This day didn't work for me so I called and was told they don't deliver Saturdays and it's coming 9/26, they refused to take it off the truck. My local JCPenney store called them and was told the same thing. She apologized and said she can't believe they won't take it off the truck. She stated they will call day before. I found someone who was willing to come, but never got a call. Thinking they may have taken it off the truck.
Now, they showed up at my house. Luckily my sons were excused early from class. I get home and notice I have 1 full queen set and a queen box spring with a full mattress. I called JCPenney. Was told, "Sorry the manager will call tomorrow." No call from the manager. I called again the next night and was told I had to return my order and rebuy... Um, no! I was getting a gift card for my troubles. I want my queen mattress! She gave me the complaints number, which I called. After being hung up on and on the phone for almost 2 hours I finally got someone who helped me. I got a whopping 10% off and was assured they would do a 3 way with the delivery service.
Nearly 4 weeks later, I find out they are delivering the mattress... yay and on a Saturday, what liars! I went online to view tracking and what do I see... a king mattress is being delivered! I called again and no call back. ThIs is a long standing pattern with JCPenney and their delivery co... no callbacks and lies and mistakes. I have left out the countless calls with no return and countless hours wasted on a simple queen bed order. I talked to a coworker who told me her friend got the wrong mattress, at a different co and was told to keep both since they can't sell the used mattress, more percent off and a gift card. Not JCPenney. All I get is 10% and a major headache with lies and wasted time.

For the last week, I have been having so many issues with JCPenney's website. I would find what I wanted, put it in my cart. I had two expensive items. It would show there were "2" things in my cart, but when I would actually click on my cart it would say "your cart is empty." I tried this over and over again numerous times over 5 days. I finally got it to pull up on my phone (I was using my tablet before). I went to check out and it kept denying my card saying it was an invalid number... I double checked it over and over and had it right in front of me. And I know there was MORE than enough money in there.
After a course of 24 hours, I tried numerous times to re-enter my card info and it kept saying the same thing. So I call my local JCP store, reported my problem and they said there was nothing they could do since they don't run the site (which I figured, but maybe they could at least tell corporate)! They said they could order it for me if I gave my card number... NOPE! I was so fed up!! I went to a different website, found the same two hoodies I wanted and even got 25% off with them! And guess what! It took my card just fine! No hassle!
After all my issues, I went on the reviews and I'm so happy I ended up not buying from them! Sounds like a lot of other people have had issues too! It's their loss, they lost out on money, but my order was only $109 with the other company I went with instead of the $141 JCP was going to charge. So my advice: go anywhere BUT JCP!

Well, we didn't want to wait any longer, because who knows where we will be put back on the delivery list, so, I scheduled the delivery while we were gone, and since my mom lives less than 4 miles away from me, she went over, to let them in, and sign for it.
We get home from our vacation 4 days later, and unpack our bags, and my husband is so excited to dig into getting this new bedroom setup. So he builds the dresser, it looks awesome, we are so excited, then he starts on the bed frame. There were about 3 missing parts to the frame. I called the next day and s/w their customer service, and let them know, we need the pieces in order to build the frame. The guy said, "The parts are on back order", I said, "Don't you need to know what parts?" He said, "They're all on back order."
So after about weeks and weeks, and several calls to JCPenney, and the reps continuing to tell me it's on back order, I say, "What's on back order? Every time I call you tell me it's on back order, but no one has EVER took the time to ask me what's missing." Anyway, the girls finally helps me and orders the missing parts. Tells me it's going to be about 2 weeks until I get the parts.
Well, one month later, I'm still calling at least 2 TIMES A WEEK, to see where my parts are. This bed was ordered in May, it is now, almost the end of September, and no one call give me any info on my parts. I keep getting transferred and transferred, back into the queue. I've asked for a manager, and no one will help me. I called and spoke w/ corporate - She actually called over to the customer service center that kept toying me around, and they hung up on her. Well, after waiting 50 minutes on the line with her, my battery in my phone died. So here I am back to square one.
I will NEVER ORDER FROM JCPENNEY AGAIN. SPEND $2,000, on a new bedroom set, and continuously dealing with horrible customer service just to get the part that was supposed to come with it. Paid $125 for delivery, and didn't even get everything. I have now been sitting on hold with customer service for 1 hr 24 mins, as I am writing this. BEWARE IF YOU ORDER. NOT WORTH IT!

I placed an order back in May and it is now September and still have not received the complete order. Was just informed it could take an additional 3 months. After countless calls, they seemed uninterested in working with me and the delivery service they used, was the absolute worst. This has been the worst experience with a company ever and they will never get another dime out of me. If you order furniture here, don't be surprised if you have to wait a few months, or a half of a year for delivery.

Sent my jewelry to be clean to their local jeweler under the care plan you pay for through company, sent my 2 rings to out of town jeweler. When indeed I asked for in town jeweler from previous experiences of their handling my jewelry by sending someone else jewelry to damaging the jewelry one thing after another, call store, reach asst. mgr. I explained I'm looking for my jewelry. She replied it will be arriving in a couple of days. Went to store to pick up, went to the department, requested for mgr. asst mgr Amanda showed up & stated I didn't need to request for her that is what she pays the staff for, handed my rings to me in a bag looked in to find one of the rings had been damage, no explanation could she give. Contact the store mgr, Rhonda ** regarding her behavior & she was apologetic that she stated that she would give me another ring compared to the one I had & a gift card just let her know what is a good resolution.
I requested that it be $500.00 for the disrespect & inconvenience, that is when selected memory started & I have been calling to get this matter resolved with District Mgr. Pam **, Corporate Office (Mons), Store Mgr, & mgrs, being shuffled from person to person, sending a certified letter to CEO Marvin Ellison, no response. Called on 9-12-17 spoke to Debbie & she assured me again that this should be handled at the store level from the store mgr & she would be calling me in 72 hrs to resolve this issue, I want to see if this gift card is given since they have a ring waiting for me, at a greater value, & that is what came out of her mouth to make this right. It is the principle of this complaint that I feel it should not take 7 months to resolve. Poor customer service.

I ordered online. It was to be ready for pickup within 4 hrs. So I called the store at the appropriate time to see if it was ready. The store rep said she couldnt find the order so put me on hold so she could find her Mgr to see if he could. He couldnt either and said it could take up 10 hrs for it to show. I hung up on him disgusted and called the JCP 800 customer service number. This Rep seemed helpful. She called the store to find out what was up and had me stay on the line. Then she said she helped him find the order. Then she said my wife was rather rude to him swearing and being obnoxious, but that I had been fine and she would be putting that in her report. Um I have no wife and he only spoke to me.
When he told me I didnt say Diddly I just hung up which may have been rude, but there was certainly no swearing obviously. He made this story up to save face when he was confronted by the Rep. Then my order was miraculously ready within an hr of the Rep speaking to him. I will be doing no business with JCP furthermore or even now. For I will not pick up this item instead waiting the 10 days for them to restock this item and then another week for them to refund my money.

I purchased new appliances from JCPenney to replace the ones that had been in my condo when I purchased it in 2005. I am happy with all of the purchases with the exception of the washer/dryer. It has been defective since the day it was installed. I have made repeated calls to JCP and to GE and I have been unable to get any help.
At first, I believed it wouldn't be a big deal getting the door to the dryer repaired. GE has made 3 trips to my house and I still have a dryer that does not close. When I called JCP, after being left on hold for 42 minutes, I was told that I needed to speak with GE. I told the person that I would like to speak with a supervisor. Then it got ugly.
Long story short, I will never purchase another appliance from JCP ever again. They seem unable or unwilling to help their customers. I have never spoken to so many people who should look for employment elsewhere. They have no interest in solving the problem or even admitting that there is a problem with their Major Appliances. I did find a very nice lady in the corporate office to talk to and I hope that my problem will one day find a solution. Keeping Hope Alive!!!

If you need a mattress right away DO NOT order from JCPenney! After I ordered online, they shipped the mattress 2 weeks later, to a warehouse near my house called MXD (they are the trucking company who will deliver the furniture to you). They told me that they wouldn't be able to deliver it to me for 2 more weeks! If I would have known how long it was going to take to get a mattress from them, I would have NEVER ordered!!

I will NEVER buy major appliances from JCP again… And why you should not either!!! JCP store customer service is very good, the JCP resolution team is engaged, but the major appliance section and GE Home Delivery Service have a broken process in addressing customer problems. GE Home Delivery Service has terrible customer service and holds no accountability for fixing the broken processes it has in addressing customer problems. For GE Home Delivery, here is the catch phrase to never use… "I want to speak to a manager to file a complaint”. At those words alone you will either be put on infinite hold (ex. 45 minutes on the line when they say "Please hold for 3-5 minutes while I get a manager or try to address your issue") or they will “accidentally” drop your call.
Also, their automated service drops calls constantly. I have experienced this regardless of which prompt you select. I have called and try to get someone to resolve my delivery issue at least 6-8 times and every time this is the type of response I’ve gotten… And we’re talking about in just the last 2 weeks. If I could give GE Home Delivery a negative star I would because 1 star is not low enough!!!
Here’s my story in short: I purchased a LG washer and LG gas dryer from JCP Woodmore Towne Center asking the associate if I had everything I needed to get the unit delivered, installed and the old washer/dryer removed. I was assured that all was paid for and would be delivered on Friday, 25 August. Our order also included a 5-year warranty. We were told the delivery of the unit would be handled by GE Home Delivery and that a separate company would handle the connection of the gas dryer. So in essence, 3 parties were required to get us completely set up with our washer and dryer.
On delivery day 25 Aug., the truck broke down and the delivery had to be rescheduled for Sunday, 27 Aug. When the delivery team arrived on Sunday, they did not have the stacking kit needed for our order. We arranged for another delivery attempt after the equipment needed was resolved. The day of the 3rd delivery attempt, they never showed up and had canceled our delivery without notifying us of any problem. That notification didn’t happen until after I called almost at the end of the delivery time window. The story I was told by JCP and GE Home Delivery changed almost 4 times. First they said the delivery was made, then they said the vendor canceled it, then they said the delivery was made then again said the vendor canceled it. What actually happened here?
As of today, I do not have the washer/dryer, my credit card has been charged for the purchase, and I will have had to take off from work for 3-4 days just to get the new appliances. I have no idea what we’ll experience if we have to call in for any warranty issues once we actually get the appliances. I hope we won’t have the same problems of not great customer service.

So I have 2 negative experiences ordering from this BS store. And they wonder why Amazon is taking all their customers and they need sales everyday just to stay afloat. 1st Order. I ordered on the 12th. Received an email on the 16th that part of my order was canceled. WTF? It takes 4 days for the system to realize that the product was sold out? Anyway went to pick up the rest of my package on the 18th, after receiving an email saying my order was ready. I tried on the clothes I bought and it didn't fit. I tried to return it but because I used PayPal, they gave me STORE CREDIT, which I will return as this store is BS and will NEVER be shopping there again.
2nd order. Made the order on the 13th. Received NOTHING. No shipping confirmation, just a "thank you for your order" on the day I ordered. Now on the 28th (15 days later), I receive a call saying my order is available for pickup. Weird because for the first order I received an email. Whatever, I go to the store anyway. They tell me they canceled and refunded my order. Which is a LIE because I never received any emails on my order being canceled and again I ordered through PayPal which will immediately tell me when money is added or taken from my account.
When I called JCP on the 16th to ask them of the status to my order they said the product was in the store, yet somehow it is nowhere to be seen and was supposedly cancelled? BS COMPANY!!! Where is my money??? It was a hair product. Pretty sure the salon STOLE it and now they cannot give me what I waited 2 WEEKS FOR!!! If I do not get my money back I will take this up with PAYPAL. Complete BS!!! She said she will refund me but I see no email and no money in my PayPal!!!

The experience with JCPenny and the purchasing of an entire appliance package for my kitchen has been a complete nightmare. We waited over two weeks to get the order and when it did come, the microwave that was brought did not work. It then had to go back and a replacement wasn't going to be delivered for another week. When that day came, I was called and told that they never received the appliance and they would let me know when it came in.
What you don't know when placing an order through JCP is that they use a third party delivery company that has even worse customer service. The fridge that I ordered did not fit and I had to return it. I accepted the restocking fee (15%) because it was my fault for not measuring properly. I was told that they would be picking up the fridge when they delivered the replacement microwave. When the delivery man came I said, "You are picking up the fridge as well. correct." He had no paperwork on it even though I was told by GE that they would be picking this up.
I ordered a brand new refrigerator. NOT from JCP and paid a rush fee to schedule it for the very next day. I called JCP customer service and was on the phone on and off for 1 1/2 hours and in the end no one was able to do anything to fix the situation that I did not cause. There is no blame take on by either parties. So now I am going to be left with two refrigerators in my home until they other one is picked up.
I am so disappointed, this was my first big purchase for my first home I've ever owned and all I have felt is frustration and anger due to the terrible system JCPenny's has created for themselves. I will never shop in that store for anything ever again. I suggest the same to anyone who is crazy enough to consider. The prices might be good, but the experience is terrible and I would have gladly spent more somewhere else!

My husband and I bought a new dining room set from JCPenney. At the original purchase time, we ordered 8 chairs, a table, and a china cabinet. We had to wait three weeks for delivery. The delivery day came and the gentleman delivering the furniture showed up. They started unloading the truck, at that point they called me out to the truck to show me that the box the table was in was damaged. No big deal, I took some pictures and told them to just take it back, I would straighten it out with JCPenney. Next, they unloaded the China cabinet. Only half of it was sent, and that half was also damaged. A piece of the wood near the bottom was cracked all the way through. Told them to also take that back with them and took delivery of the chairs.
I attempted to call JCPenney's customer service and was informed that there would be an hour wait, but could have a call back if I wanted. I selected the callback. At this point in time, I was not the least bit upset, things happen. I was certain that a large company would make sure that it was corrected. Finally got a callback, got connected to the right department and that's when it all went really, really bad. The furniture customer service is awful. The girl I talked to said that it would take 21 days for a refund check to be sent to us because we purchased the furniture using PayPal and that PayPal does not allow online credit. I know that's crap because I have gotten a refund before directly to my PayPal account. Then she wanted to recharge us for the purchase, but on a different card because she couldn't take PayPal over the phone.
I explained that I wasn't comfortable with that. I didn't want the first dining room set on our PayPal account and the second one on a credit card, all because they sent us damaged furniture. She didn't seem to see what the issue was. I didn't like being charged and having to pay interest in not one, but two dining room sets while waiting for a refund check. Especially since I did not have a dining room set. At that point, I asked to speak to a manager. The manager was unbelievably rude. I'm dismissive, condescending, all around disgustingly rude. I tried to explain the problem in the hopes that we could come to a solution that would make everyone happy, but she obviously did not care that I was upset (upset, not angry!) I asked her if she understood the issue, if there was any way we could possibly solve the problem and she just didn't care.
I asked her if she understood that their "policy" was not in the customer interest. She just got nastier. That woman obviously does not need to work in customer service. I have never had someone be that rude to me. I finally gave up on getting any actual help from her (mostly because she didn't want to actually be bothered with helping anyone.).
Next, I called their corporate office, by this time I was actually in tears. This time I got in touch with someone who was nice, and as I explained my issue he said the whole thing about having to send us a check in the next three weeks was incorrect. They could have issued a refund directly to PayPal, and it would take PayPal about three days to credit our account. We are now at the 28th day since I asked for a refund, and no refund has been granted. I called JCPenney a week ago to ask about the refund and they said they had processed it. Paypal has no record of it and we never received a check. My husband disputed the charged and they were removed from our account. We purchased a much nicer table elsewhere and I will never, ever buy anything from JCPenney again.

After several months of inactivity we attempted to place an order online with JC Penny using our JC Penny credit card. The first problem was that the order was rejected because "our address did not exist". This resulted in the first call to their customer service and a 35 minute wait for a callback. We were then told that the reason it was rejected was because there was no address in our file. Funny, they mailed us the credit card.
Try again. Now we get rejected because our password is not right. We attempt to use the "forgot password" function and kept getting a "password reset information was sent to your email" message but nothing in our email. Try again. Try again. Try again. Back to customer service for an hour wait for a return call. Now the problem is that they don't have our email address in their records. No home address, no email address, I'm wondering what planet they are on. Try again. Still getting rejected for the password. Back to customer service with more than an hour wait. They are going to reset the account, "Please wait 5 to 10 minutes and you will be able to reset your password." 15 minutes later and still trying to reset with no results and no messages on my email despite multiple messages that they are sending me instructions on how to reset my password.
Back to customer service and another hour delay. Now I'm told that it is probably a credit card problem and get sent to the credit card service for JC Penny. Nope, not their problem so they send me back into the hour long waiting queue for customer service. Now customer service tells me that it is a problem for their credit department, please hold, click. disconnect. By this time I realize that there are two web sites, jcp.com and jcp.com/credit. I go onto the credit site and guess what? I can change my password and it works. I go back into the account and it works. Once. We go back to place the order and our password is, once again, no good.Goodbye JC Penny. Hour waits, bad advice and no corrections. We cut your credit card up and will be sending you a letter to close our account, cancel the credit card and never let your shadow cross our paths again. Absolute incompetence.

I ordered a twin size quilt online using the JC Penney app. Ordering using the app was a frustrating experience. I do most of my shopping online so using an app for shopping is not anything new to me. Firstly, the app is designed very deceptively. 'Place Order' button floats on the screen such that user's finger will hit it without user's knowledge. Secondly, after hitting the 'Place Order', user doesn’t get a summary of the order to assure or confirm that the order details are correct. I say app is scam because the price summary that a user sees before placing the order is not the same what the user sees when the summary is flashed for fraction of seconds after placing the order. Thirdly, order tracking is not updated immediately after placing the order. The user gets an email with order number however without price summary. Fourthly, the app defaults to its own selections after clicking the 'place order' button.
$10 off coupon for using app for 1st time is another deceptive bait to lure customers. My experience is similar to what other J C Penney customers have experienced. On 7/26/2017 placed an order for a twin size quilt. My item was eligible for a 30% coupon code. I tried more than 15 times, and all of the times the app either defaulted to ship to home or reset the coupon code, forcing me to either deselect the ship to home button or re-enter the coupon code. Finally when I thought I was successful, I checked the tiny summary box and placed the order.
To my horror, the summary that flashed for few seconds indicated the coupon code was not applied. Then I immediately placed a second order, this time I had the $10 off coupon code, plus 30% off code for eligible item. This item same experience as first, however after placing the order, this time it took the coupon code but defaulted to ship to home. Also, my discount amount should have been $22 but it calculated discount to only $19. I don't want to explain the math here. I am convinced JC Penney's sale and coupons and App is a scam. After reading Facebook comments on JC Penney's page and on other forums, I understand many other customers have had this sane experience as me. I hope consumer affairs takes some action.

JCPenny has an ad on Facebook that reads "Free shipping every day at JCPenny!". Shipping is only free if your order is over $99 and according to other people’s posts, people are getting charged for instore pickup too. For me at least, shipping starts at about $9 which is kind of high, especially when it is supposed to be free. All they can say is send us a private message. I did and got a canned response stating their real shipping cost policy and statements that they would forward my concerns.
There are a bunch of people complaining about this, not just me. Now my posts have been removed (but their response to my nonexistent posts remains, way to be diligent Facebook). If it's a mistake, fix it, but instead, they choose to hide it. In my opinion at least, they are intentionally using false advertising to mislead their customers. You might get my opinion deleted off Facebook, but I'm guessing there are plenty of other places you won't be able to do that and this is one. Regardless if you think this is a major issue or not, I didn't think it was a huge deal, the fact that they seem to be doing it intentionally is what the big issue is.

Worst furniture buying and customer service experience of my life and no I am not exaggerating. I ordered 8 pieces of furniture at the same time which came in 4 different shipments which I was not told about. There was some assembly required on 3 pieces which I specifically asked about and was told no assembly would be required. One piece came broken and had to be returned and replaced. My recliner ripped at the seam less than 2 months after receiving it. The 3 piece sectional couch was wrong when it was received and so I rejected it. The delivery people gave me a hard time about it and broke a picture on the way out because they were frustrated.
Besides the poor quality of the furniture, the customer service was awful. Every time I called (which was over 20 in all for all the different issues over a 3 month period of time) I received contradicting information from a.) what ever I was told previously or b.) from what actually happened after the call. No one seemed to be able to give me a straight answer about returns and how money was to be returned. It is 3 months to the day from when I ordered the sectional and paid in full for it and 1 month since I refused the incorrect delivery and I still do not have my money. I have involved supervisors and today when I talked to a supervisor and asked for her supervisor I was told that I have to contact corporate.
The problem with this is I only have first names with dates and times. No one would give me last names or I'd numbers and nothing gets documented so I can't "prove" a thing. How convenient. As soon as my refund is complete I am cutting up my JCPenney card and NEVER shopping there again. Worst company to deal with in my whole life. I am middle class, 51 and lived in over 12 states (military wife) spending a lot of money in my life on consumer products and I have never ever had this kind of experience. Do not ever order any furniture from this store!

I placed an order by mistake on JCPenny app. I was browsing and added a product to see if the product is eligible for discount. In 1 click which I made by mistake the order was placed. Issues: The order was placed but will not show in my account. It says call customer care to get help with recent orders. I called and their phone system tells me to wait 52 minutes before anyone could speak to me. I believe they trick people so that people hang up as no one would want to wait 52 minutes on phone. They put me online in like 5 minutes though on my first call. The CSR put me on hold without even telling me. I waited for 10 min. He never came back.
Called again, waited in queue for like 15 min. CSR told me she cannot cancel the order even after 1 minute of placement. I told her that I want to speak to supervisor. She mocked me and said... "Oh you want to speak with supervisor... sure..." and laughed. I felt humiliated. I asked her why she is so rude... she totally denied that she is rude to me. She put me on hold for 30 min... just to get her supervisor. Supervisor joined, CSR told me that supervisor is here and I will leave you 2 alone. Then they both laughed. I asked what is funny and nobody said anything. So much humiliation. They would not even cancel my order and asked me to return. If I return they will not pay me back the shipping cost like $9.
The supervisor disconnected my call when I told him that CSR was rude to me. He said that he is not responsible for other people actions. I said 'other people'? They are your subordinates. He disconnected. What a ripoff and money making tricks. They are not going to make new customers like this. Ill trained and mean people are sitting there in JCPenney customer service. Never going to buy anything from them and not going to recommend it to anyone. I HAVE EVERYTHING RECORDED as I have a automatic call recorder on my phone.

The JCPenney mattress delivery system is incompetent beyond belief. Here’s our experience: July 2: We sign an order that specifies delivery on July 5. After the order is made out the sales lady tells us it will take two weeks, but that we will get a call before that to arrange delivery. July 12: We email the address given for “Customer Care” for an estimated delivery date. The address is furnituresupport@jcpenneyservices.com, but it turns out the email domain is no longer valid. Accordingly, I call the 800 number. After a lengthy wait on hold, I give up. I then call the store, leaving a voice mail message with my request. A sales person calls back and tells us delivery could take another week.
July 25: I call Customer Care again, and once again give up after being placed on hold. I again call the store, but learn nothing new. July 27: I finally reach a Customer Care person, who says there was a paperwork failure with the order, and someone will call me back with delivery information. No one ever calls. July 28: I call the store again and leave a message. No one returns the phone call.
July 30: I reach a Customer Care person to cancel the order. In an apparent effort to dissuade me, she tells me delivery of a mattress from JC Penney takes 3-4 weeks. (Of course we are now beyond even that period.) I tell her again to cancel the order and re-credit the balance on my credit card, which she promises to do. Note that not only did this process take a very long time, but I received a different story each time I called. Bottom line: I still have no mattress and have to start shopping all over again. Never, again, JCPenney.

This was my first time using the ship to store option with the company. I will not use it again nor will I shop online with this company. They have failed to provide an estimated date of arrival at the store. The company provides a customer service number and provides an estimated time you can expect to speak with a representative. My estimated time was 62 minutes. It is going on two hours. My saving grace is my credit union will challenge the charges of no merchant is delivered in 30 days. Given the other reviews, I will need to challenge this purchase to get a refund.

Denise not only got my problem solved but saved me more money as well, and was pleasant.

I ordered a pillow for $11.46 using their stupid since they offered $10 off coupon if downloaded and use their app for the first time. Instead of paying for $1.46, I paid $20.41, I chose for store pickup. The app automatically switched to ship it home. I called JCP customer service immediately, hold on the phone for more than 1 hour. A JCP agent told me that she couldn't cancel my order nor waive the shipping cost. Plus, she told me $10 off coupon would show up on my JCP app within 20 minutes. Waited for 1 hour again, I didn't see any coupon. My only hope is that American Express would refund the difference.

I saw an associate. I asked might not get help. They told me directly "sure." But the ship sailed. I walked on. I went to the ladies lingerie. There was two seniors getting help. I saw hope. Well as soon as they got help. The associates had left too. I was like if there a no help sign on me or what?
In housewares is where the help came from. But I noticed someone who had been at every department. Just about where I was. And all he was doing is talking to other associates. I asked if he was a manager or something. The person I was talking with didn't like home too well because she said he no and popped her lips. I went by the Sephora and it reeked all of cigar. But the girl that was suppose to help me. I said that was ok??? Because she smelled like marijuana. Her eyes was red and barely open. I just left. I was just displeased.

Bought a microwave, gas range, refrigerator, washer, & dryer. One delivery guy installed the microwave while the other guy is installed the washer & dryer. The guy who installed my microwave took over an hour to do so. He then says we have a problem, the cabinets are coming off of the wall. And gets an attitude with me when I told him they were not that way before. The other guy, who was installing the washer and dryer asked me did I want the washing machine removed from the house and the dryer stays. I told him yes as well as it was in the order of instructions he had on his clipboard. I specifically removed the dryer from the laundry room and set it to the side of the hallway.
After arguing with the guy, who installed the microwave and damaged my cabinets I was fit to be tied and mind you I paid $85.00 for installation for the microwave I would not be able to use, because the cabinets are literally tilting over and I am scared at any moment that they are going to fall. They left and left my house in disarray with styrofoam in the laundry room, holes drilled inside my cabinets, white them coming off the wall, and they took my dryer, the one that was left to the side in the hallway out of the way of the installer. I called the company they told me it's nothing they can do about the dryer and send me all this paperwork to file a claim about the cabinets and 30 days to find two estimates for repair.
Everyone I have contacted tells me "Your cabinets are coming from the wall, we can't fix that". This happened June 28, 2017 it is now July 17, 2017. My time is running out and still cabinets are falling and still no dryer. I have never been so disappointed with a purchase in my life, this is horrible. The customer service, installers, the so called insurance company's "Spirit" that never answer the phone is ridiculous. I do not know what to do. I am fed up to the point where, they JCPenney can come and pick up all of these items that I purchased and I will go to Sears and re-buy everything.

I posted a scathing review about JCP furniture customer service. Well as I stated I was not letting it easily so I took my complaint to the corporate office and after a few days I received a phone call and I was not expecting much considering my previous experience with their furniture customer service which I let them know that their furniture line customer service was very rude and incompetent. To my surprise my complaint was heard and resolved to my satisfaction. I don't think I will ever order furniture again because of their furniture customer service but I will continue shopping in their store, so maybe if anyone who has a complaint you might want to go to corporate and see what happens. Persistence pays!

I ordered a Larchmont Dining table with a self-storing butterfly leaf from jcp.com in May 2017 and the table was delivered a few weeks later and it was the wrong table. I called the furniture line and was told that JCP has no control over what's sent when you place an order, well after some conversation another table was ordered and again the wrong table was delivered. I called the furniture line again and was told that the warehouse was making the mistake and a handpick order needed to be placed. I didn't hear anything from JCP confirming that the order had been placed so I decided to check the delivery companies website and sure enough a order had been placed but it was NOT for a table. They ordered a bench without even speaking to me about it. So I called the furniture line again after waiting at least 2 hrs total time for this ordeal I was finally told that they don't even carry the table anymore!!!
Needless to say by this time I'm furious so I asked how I would be compensated for this inconvenience and I was then told that they didn't want to insult me with an offer and I could now return the table. Returning the table would then leave me without a table and when I asked to speak to a manager all of a sudden there was silence and nothing. This is the worst customer service I have ever experienced and the longest wait time for someone to answer, I think they are hoping you hang up and just go away, well I'm not the one, I'm gonna be like a boil on their behind. PLEASE DON'T ORDER FROM JCP.COM FOR FURNITURE IF YOU READ THIS FIRST!!!

He then stated I need to pay the return fee. I asked him how he became a manager since he is to stupid to take it out of my refund. DO NOT PURCHASE ANY APPLIANCE FROM JCPENNEY.

Similar to a previous reviewer, I was also FORCED to make a purchase on June 22, 2017. While browsing the JcP App on my iPhone, I received a call. Upon ending the call, I see a "Thanks For Your Order". Huh? I should've known better than to even be in the app because the same thing had happened to me while shopping in the app a month earlier, on May 12, 2017, but I thought it was just a fluke. Thankfully that time I had entered the coupon first and was almost ready to make my purchase. I did try to contact Customer Service right after because I felt "forced" but was informed an expected 18 minute wait. No thanks. I guess I'll just have to return the few items I wasn't sure about that may not work.
I IMMEDIATELY called customer service and held for 35 MINS to speak with a representative. She reassured me that my order had been canceled. When I questioned was she sure she had a "tone" with me and said it hadn't even processed yet so nothing to worry about. Okay. Good. I never received an order confirmation email from JcP so I mistakenly assumed the issue has been resolved.
I go away on vacation 4 days later and when I get back after 5 days, sitting on my front door stoop for who knows how long, there's a large package from JcP and a $432.50 charge on my cc. UGGGGHHH!!! So I call and after holding for 30 MINUTES, I start dealing with KORA. She can't seem to make heads or tails out of the situation so after listening to her huff and puff (seriously!) and struggle for 40 MINUTES, I insist on a supervisor because I'm getting upset with her disgruntled attitude and ineptness. This wasn't my fault, why the attitude?
I was then put on hold for 13 MINUTES for TRISH, a very mean and rotten woman. She proceeds to accuse me of lying about everything. The date of the order. My invoice says June 24 she says "Well it says here you placed the order June 22." Whatever. She says "what was the coupon that day?" I have no idea, it was like 15 days ago, it's usually 30%, she can figure it out can't she? She says "Well it was 65% off regular priced items and most customers that ask for a discount know what it is" SORRY! I'm not asking for more money back than what I paid, I just don't want to be charged full price and interest on items I wasn't even supposed to be getting, remember I didn't even place the order and it was supposed to be CANCELED!?!
She then tried pressuring me which items I want to keep and which I wanted to return, why I wanted to return them, asked me who I spoke with when I called to cancel. She said she couldn't see who I had talked to that had canceled 3 of the items and not the entire order as I had been assured was done, umm yeah right the computer doesn't say who it was. And on, and on, and on. IT WAS AWFUL.
Let me be clear. I wanted a price adjustment (apply coupon code) for everything I was forced to purchase that day and a UPS return label for all of the things I didn't want to keep, and while they were at it, I wanted a return label for 4 of the items in my $300 May 12 order I had decided I didn't want either (my first forced app purchase). I'm a platinum card holder, I've literally spent thousands at JcP.com, I am certainly not being unreasonable based on the situation at this point. I've now spent 2 HOURS of my life on the phone with the nonexistent shockingly rude customer service. Still nowhere.
I ask TRISH if she likes to be robbed? She says "no", I say "me neither". Finally she says she's not a manager and can't price adjust any of the items and I have to call back again for that once I decide what I'm returning. That makes no sense. WHY AM I EVEN TALKING TO HER??? Now I am IRATE. GET ME THE MANAGER. Without an excuse me, just a switch to hold music, I wait another 14 MINUTES. CARISSA - a manager who never apologized, was not nice, tries to condescendingly tell me I should delete my card info from the app because internet thieves (I'm a 38 y/o woman, please spare me, and don't worry I've already deleted the app and will never shop at JcP again), and later threatened to hang up on me for using the 's' word after bull... eye roll here.
Anyways, she says she's going to price adjust the order. I'm FORCED to wait for another 20 MINUTES because she "has to figure each item out one by one" but she can't do the labels or have someone else work on the return labels at the same time. I patiently wait while listening to her laugh with coworkers in the background because I think I'm actually finally being helped somewhat. All of a sudden the JcP survey interrupts and ENDS THE 2 HOURS AND 30 MINS PHONE CALL BY HANGING UP ON ME!!! BTW, I'm using speakerphone so yeah it's bad but I'm still doing stuff around the house so can't get rid of me that easy! Now it's comical.
I call back customer service haha and HOLD ANOTHER 35 MINUTES for a rep to answer. I immediately request CARISSA. After offering up some sympathetic huns, the nice rep Tammi, tries to redirect my call by saying they have different call centers and I've reached the Columbus, OH one blah blah. Yeah well TRISH the genius mentioned earlier that's where she was. GET THE MANAGER CARISSA ON THE PHONE. She has to instant message CARISSA 4X because it's just too difficult to walk over to her cubicle.
Eventually, I've lost track of time at this point since I'm understandably slightly delirious with anger, CARISSA gets on the phone and insinuates I'm an idiot. She says "Everything is all set" as if I knew. I had to ask her the amount adjusted, how many labels, how would I get them, when should I put out the packages? She says UPS will call me using the number from my order. Oh you mean my cell when I'm at work an hour away from home? Great! It was so sweet of her to NOT CALL ME BACK herself at that number on the FORCED ORDER (which again, was not placed by me, had been canceled by me, had been dealt with for the past 3 HOURS by morons) just to settle up our conversation and offer an apology for disconnecting the call. When I mention that, she says she gets busy with other calls and I can choose to shop wherever I want. Sure thing.
After I copy and paste this review at JcP.com to every single item I was forced to purchase, I'll never deal with JcP again. Apparently JcP is going out of business. Not surprising. The one in my mall Providence Place closed. I know they won't be getting another dime or minute more of my time. I really hope no-one else has an experience like mine or reads this review beforehand and decides to shop elsewhere. I can totally relate to the numerous other negative reviews and feel better for sharing. HMPH. Let's all end wasting our hard earned money on ~~~HORRIFIC AND ABUSIVE CUSTOMER SERVICE~~~

I ordered 10 bottles of Matrix shampoo and conditioner. When the box arrived, it was completely soaked and falling apart. Everything inside was covered with shampoo and conditioner. None of the bottles had been sealed or taped and they were not inside plastic bags so the package was completely destroyed. They have no way to reach them by email so I chatted with a customer service agent who told me to put the box in a plastic bag and she would have UPS pick the package up. UPS did pick up the package and apparently discarded it and notified JCPenney. I disputed the charge with my credit card company after waiting 30 days for a refund. JCPenney has refused to refund my money and now after 3 months of this, my credit card company says that I have to try to file a claim with UPS.
Only an idiot would ship a package filled with unsealed liquids. JCPenney makes it almost impossible to contact them and then they expect UPS to pay for their moronic mistake. Obviously I will NEVER buy anything from JCPenney online or in a store again. It is no wonder that they are about to go out of business. I certainly won't cry for them when they do.

I'm writing to complain of JCP furniture customer service. I placed a order of a queen bedroom set and a sofa on June 3rd. On the same night I received an email saying my order was cancelled. So I called in the second morning, and they re-ordered it for me. There was a mistake on the phone number when I first placed the order, and I asked the customer service to change it for me. He said it was changed in the system before delivery. They would call me on the right number. But when I check back, the number was still the same and the nightmare just began.
For every few days, JCP would put a new pending for the same amount for the order, before June 10th, there was already 2 pendings for payment charged by JCP on my credit card, and on June 10th, when JCP wants to put the 3rd pending charge on my credit card, my credit limit would not allow it. So I received an email on June 10th, saying the payment cannot be processed and my order will be cancelled if I don't contact them in 3 days. I called right away. I explained the situation to the customer service and she assured me that the order is ok and they would stop putting pending charges on my credit card.
On June 14th, I received an email from JCP saying my order was cancelled again. By then I was really tired calling JCP furniture since every time I called, I had to spend 20 mins waiting. But I wanted to make sure, so I called, in my mind for the last time, to confirm the order was cancelled and all those pending charges could be cancelled. They confirmed it but says the pending could take a few more days. I thought my nightmare could be over soon, I was just too naive. On June 27th, a delivery came to my back door. The delivery company brought the entire order. But I already got the bedroom set from a different store, and I told the delivery guy that JCP had cancelled my order. He confirmed with JCP on the phone and asked me to sign a "refuse of delivery" notice so that they can shipped the whole thing back, and I did it.
On June 28th I received an email from JCP saying my order was shipped. I thought how hilarious, they are always one step "ahead". Since I already signed the refusal, I ignored the email. But guess what, my credit card was charged, not pending for charge, but actually charged by JCP for the full amount on June 30th!I just want to ask, does JCP hire enough customer service representative to handle client enquiries? Why do I have to wait 10 to 20 mins every time I called?
Does JCP hire the qualified people for the job? Why I was not provided the correct information? Do people work in different department at JCP communicate and coordinate with each other to get the job done? Because not only me, the delivery guy was really pissed as well, and he said, they are just toying us around.
If all other customer service are working on Saturdays and Sundays for a longer hour, why doesn't furniture service? Especially when they are so lame at doing their job, they should be assigned with more training. Why there is no link for complaints on JCP website? There should be a clear mark of the channel that we can communicate our problems with someone. I did like to shop at J.C. Penney before, in the store, but this is definitely the last time I'm shopping at JCP online, and maybe at the store as well.

I had to give at least 1 star, but I would prefer to give none. I ordered a bedroom suite on 5/24/17. I called two days later to change the address on the order as my daughter was moving and had found housing. Customer service took my info and said no problem. After calling numerous times to find out where the furniture was, I located the same in the southern part of MY state, not where my daughter lives. I was on the phone every other day with the "furniture dept." and had to wait anywhere from 15 min. to 35 min. to even have my call answered each time. Every time I was told something different from they couldn't locate the furniture to they knew where it was and didn't know why it was there and couldn't tell me how long it would be before they could get it to one state over to where my daughter is living. I was told on numerous occasions that it was the trucking company's fault and that Penney's had nothing to do with it.
I was able to finally have someone give me the names of the trucking companies involved. I got my satisfaction there. They told me that Penney's NEVER authorized them to transport it to my daughter and they were waiting for authority from Penney's to move the furniture. I kid you not, I was on the phone with Penney's every three days. Each time on the phone for 1 1/2 hours with no satisfaction. Finally, a wonderful man at the trucking company was able to contact Penney's and get authority from them (mind you they said this was NEVER their fault) and he shipped the furniture and it arrived in my daughter's state 2 days later. The trucking company then handling the furniture called me to set up delivery, however, noting that two of the pieces were missing. I immediately called Penney's.
Sat on hold for 25 minutes before I got a person to be put on hold 4 times in the course of that conversation while they "tried" to reach the trucking companies involved. They said they couldn't reach anyone. Meanwhile, while I am sitting on hold waiting for them to "get results" I called the trucking company and immediately got someone on the line. They told me the remedy and I then conveyed that to Penney's. Penney's then tells me it will take 5-7 business days to track down the two pieces and what happened to them. Meanwhile, the trucking company tells me 24 hours and they should have an answer. All the while, my daughter is sleeping on the floor while starting a job fresh out of college. Can you imagine my disgust and how I felt not being able to provide my daughter with a bedroom suite when I initially was told the furniture would arrive in less than 2 weeks.
The furniture was delivered to the loading dock in MY state 6 days after I placed the order. My order sat on a loading dock from May 31 - June 21 when it was finally moved to my daughter's state where it now sits because all of the pieces aren't there. Customer Service representatives were never of any help whatsoever. I finally requested and got through to a "higher up" customer service manager and she told me she couldn't do anything for me as far as compensating me for my aggravation, etc. until I received the furniture.
Meanwhile, I still have no idea when I will receive this furniture. I have shopped at Penney's all my life and to be perfectly honest with you, once the furniture is received and the issue of compensating me has come to a close, I will NEVER deal with Penney's again. They can kiss my account goodbye. Truly the WORST customer service and resolution I have ever in my life experienced, and it's still not resolved.

I wanted to get a new washer and dryer. I figured I could not go wrong with a big name place like Penney's and find that I was mistaken. The order was received and my old washer and dryer were hauled away. The new washer and dryer were not installed because they did not have the needed items to do so. I spent over 3 hours on the phone between the installing company and Penney's CS. The following Monday I was on the phone again with Penney's being told that the situation was taken care of. I was told that I had to wait another week because the machines sent were the wrong ones. In the mean time I had no washer and dryer because they hauled them away. I was informed that if I used the machines I would have to pay a fee for restocking so I had to travel 10 miles one way to get any wash done.
That was one week with nothing but headaches. I then got a phone call from the shipping company saying that they were coming on the 26th. Luckily I called them to let them know I was told that the shipment was for the Sat. the 24th. This is when I was told that the shipping company only had a pickup order and no washer and dryer replacement. I was told I had to 'reach out to Penney's because all they would do is the pickup. I was frantic because this was going to make a much longer wait without clean clothes. Another 2 hours on the phone with Penney's and it seemed like all was set to go for the 24th. They had to call the company to have the items shipped to the installation co. I asked specifically about the installation since the first time they couldn't do anything because they were not 'official' installers. Then the new washer and dryer were delivered. Again they were missing parts to set it up.
Another 2 hours on the phone with CS and I find out that even though it is marked to install them the pedestals are sold separate. I do not know why they even had it on the list when purchasing. I checked it off expecting it was part of the washer and dryer combination set. They also did not include a reinforced dryer hose so the dryer could not be set up. Now I have to wait 'another week' to get the system installed. The least they could have done was to throw in the pedestals for all the inconvenience and emotional distress this transaction has caused. I will never shop at Penney's again and I am thinking of contacting a lawyer because I am an emotional mess. Every time I was held I the phone I ended up with a two day migraine.
If you have nothing better to do but get frayed nerves and a migraine buy on, otherwise stay away from this store when you are going to purchase high end items. I am still waiting for what I hope is the final time they come and I can finally have a level and working washer and dryer. This mess all started on June 5th... It will be nearly a month to get. That is assuming I don't end up on the phone again.

Purchased custom blinds and when they were delivered and installed they did not fit the windows as expected. Gaps on each side of blinds. Upon contacting the decorator and getting a run around, the thought from her was to make the blind fit by adding valances to it. It was explained to her that this wasn't what was wanted. Said she would get back with us and never did. Contacted store headquarters and main headquarters customer service and got more run around from one person (manager) another. Always taking us back to the root cause, the decorator. No one wanted to help us (they had gotten paid).
Finally they sent a person to measure the windows again (decorator had measured twice already). He stated that there were some mis-measurements that should be re done. Decorator claims that's not the info she received and wanted to measure again (wow). I believe they don't want to hold to the truth to replace our blinds. I WILL NEVER SHOP JCPENNEY AGAIN, FOR ANYTHING. They do not seek to correct that which they know is wrong. All we ask is they correct the windows that is obviously wrong, and they can excuse themselves from our lives. CUSTOMER SERVICE IS BAD. TERRIBLE. All of them back each other with lies to justify their mistakes. They also lied to the BBB about what actually happened. But God takes care of his own as I am. Pictures and receipts have already been supplied regarding this and I know that JCPenney probably control this site and it may not be heard.

I received an email coupon stating 65% off orders over $100, I clicked the terms and exclusions knowing they can make it not worthwhile to waste your time, it did not bring me to any terms and exclusions. It brought me to the website to shop. I closed it and went to my app because it has all my rewards saved, and began to browse and add things to my cart. When I removed a couple items the app gave me error messages and they pop up right over the place order button, so when I clicked the close button on the error it placed an order! I hadn't chosen a payment method, added any coupons, I wasn't even sure of what was in my cart!
I called immediately and it's 10:43 pm! I had an estimated wait time of 10 minutes which ended up being more than that, then when I explained what happened I was told there was nothing they could do. There is only a five minute window to cancel the order. I protested, “How can you put me on hold for 10 minutes and then say I called too late! I didn't even place this order. Your app did it!” She said, “Sorry. Nothing we can do. You can refuse shipment and it will be credited back to your account after processing.” I said, “No way. I want to speak to a supervisor.” A minute later I was disconnected.
I then went back to see if there was any other contact method and there was a chat feature. Can't be any worse than the hold time so I opened it and explained the situation and got the same info. You can't cancel your order. It doesn't matter if you didn't really order it. He at least asked why I wanted to cancel and I explained I hadn't add the 65% off coupon and $30 in rewards. He kindly offered to apply the coupon and then said I would see a credit for the discount when my order shipped and told me to have a good night.
I asked what my credit amount would be, I mean I would never place an order without knowing the total and this ridiculous order came to $195.97 which was well over double what I had planned to spend for a few tops. He told me the total after credit would be $102.97 and the credit amount would be $93 to my card. I was so confused. I asked, “How in the world is 65% off of $195.97 $102.97??? That's not even half off and 65% is more than 50% correct?” He said, “I have applied your coupon. Thank you and have a nice night.” No way! I asked for a breakdown of the items after the coupon was applied and received the following: Pink shirt $20.99. Blue shirt $20.99. Robe $17.50. Dress $21.00. Sandals $22.49.
Ok here's the problem, the original prices: Pink shirt $27.99 65% off would make it $9.80. Blue shirt $27.99 65% off would make it $9.80. Robe $50.00 65% off would make it $17.50. Dress $60.00 65% off would make it $21.00. Sandals $29.99 65% off would make it $10.50. Notice the problem? The only items they gave me 65% off was the ridiculously priced spring dress and bathrobe which was not some luxurious spa robe. It was a cotton short robe! I was dying! The agent told me that some items were excluded and I told him then in that case he needed to cancel my order because I was only going to order because of that coupon if it was a good deal and none of those were good deals. I also asked about my rewards and he stated they couldn't be applied to an already placed order.
I told him that the only way I would have submitted an order is if the total was under $50 and now they have charged $195 to my card and weren't honoring their coupon on any of my items except the marked up ones! The agent said I could have a full refund on all my items and have a nice night, I was so confused, I asked, “So you are cancelling my order?” He said, “No ma'am. You can refuse shipment or return once the items arrive.” NO I told him I was filing a complaint to the federal trade commission and seeing if there a way to file a civil suit for them fraudulently charging my card without my permission and then not honoring any means or rectifying without using deceptive advertising practices.
He then said he would take an additional $30 off my order. I said, “No. Don't touch my rewards because I'm returning all the items and I won't get my rewards back.” He said he was not taking my rewards, he was applying an additional $30 discount. I told him not to bother because I was returning everything. The conversation ended and I went into my JCP app to see if I could remove the payment method so this can't happen. It will require an entry and much to my surprise guess what was in my cart still? My entire order. I took screenshots to prove there is something wrong with the app, and also went to the wallet are to find my $30 in rewards are now gone.
I'm filing a complaint and I hope everyone else being ripped off and treated like dirt do too because they should get shut down with this deception. Do not order from the app. It will do whatever it wants without you clicking anywhere! And customer service could care less about helping in any way. I have screenshots of my entire chat, the shopping cart still having the order is supposedly placed at the same time as ongoing chat both timestamped and the call I made immediately when it said order placed.

I recommend that no one ever purchase a mattress from JCPenney online. I had purchased several items online from JCPenney's. Everything came in one shipment minus the mattress. The receipt stated that I would be receiving the mattress in a later shipment. I called them to enquire about my mattress and was told that the mattress was coming from the manufacturer and that they really couldn't locate it but that she thought I would receive it by June 1st. June 20... still no mattress, no number to call, no tracking number. So I called the help number on my receipt for JCPenney again. I was on hold for 28 minutes with the recording saying over and over again how important I was to them... I finally hung up. Then I called the local JC Penney and spoke to an employee who at first wasn't going to help me either. I wasn't hanging up so she finally took my number and said she would see what was going on. I didn't think she would call back. She did.
She gave me the number of the mysterious trucking company and told me that they told her that they have been trying to contact me for weeks. I told her they were lying and she said she didn't know about that. Since they used my phone number to locate my order... I am thinking they have been using my mattress as a comfortable break area. Long story short... had I not been a pest or had a very bad memory, I seriously doubt I would ever have received the mattress. DON'T do it. JCPenney should keep track of what they sell until the customer receives the item. It is a helpless feeling to have paid hundreds of dollars for an item and being told the store has no way of locating it. I don't think I should have had to be pushy and rude for someone to help me. P.S. I still don't have the mattress but at least know where it has been sitting for weeks. Exactly four miles from my house.

I purchased a pair of shoes online for my Husband (for our Wedding). We originally purchased a size 8.5 (his usual size) and the shoes were almost two sizes too big! We are on a time crunch, so I immediately ordered a 7.5 and an 8, so we could insure the perfect size. (I just spent $170 on the shoes, and $25 for all shipping costs). The photo clearly shows how horrible their shoe size description is (not our fault)!
When I called Customer Service, I waited on the phone line for 22 minutes. Finally someone answered and I explained our situation about the shoes being way too big and we ordered more but I will need to return the two that don't fit. I asked for them to supply a shipping label (after all, we did just spent $200 at your store and I was more than happy to pay for Express shipping BOTH TIMES). The Woman on the phone was VERY RUDE and raised her voice multiple times at me. When I asked to speak with her Manager, she snapped back saying "I am the Manager and you aren't getting nobody else on this phone line." I cannot believe J.C. Penney would not send me a return label (probably would have cost them $10), after they let me sit on hold for over 20 minutes and spend over $200 at their store.

The other order the day after I placed it I received an email saying it was back ordered no way for me to cancel.
I have been on phone with JCP.com for 45 min. Waiting to speak to customer service I gave up and contacted store. When I called the store they have a ext. number for JCP.com but no one was there to answer. The associate who answered the phone said they are working shorthanded and there is no one for that position. The associate was the same person who I picked the first order up from yesterday. I asked yesterday about the other order. I asked if I could cancel since it was back ordered. She said no but that it would be returned if I did not pick it up when it arrived. When I spoke to her today she had to call and verify from someone else the package was not there. My card has been charged for both orders. This is my first and last purchase from JCP.com.

We recently purchased a refrigerator from the local Penney store. They were happy to price match and offered all the perks that the other stores offered including 18 months free financing. We were told that we would need to call each month to determine what we needed to pay. I told them that was a deal breaker because I have more to do than go through the agony of trying to contact someone in customer service each month. If you have ever tried it, you know what I mean.
The manager of the appliance department assured me that I would need to call only the first month and after that I would pay the set amount. I could live with that. This is the first month and after several calls trying to get through to customer service and an hour on the phone hoping to talk to a real person, we have been told that we do indeed need to call every month. Obviously that is the last appliance I will ever buy there and I seriously doubt that I will shop there at all unless I have a great coupon. We have shopped at Penney's for over fifty years and I am very disappointed in this turn of events. I will be warning everyone I know to avoid the so called free financing at Penney's. Be forewarned.

I placed an order about 30 mins ago. I changed my JCP credit card address, I recently moved to a new location. When I clicked on "place order" I realized that the "ship to address" was an old address, so I tried to get a hold of customer service first by chat (that was a joke, it was "busy" for 15 mins) so I called 800 number. Well after being on hold for 15 mins, a real nice lady got on the phone (so no fault to her). She explained to me that "After you place the order there is nothing we can do." No canceling or no altering the shipping information. She suggested that I wait for the tracking number and call UPS to change the Ship to address.
This is such a bad way to do business. I have never heard of companies saying "oh sorry we can't cancel an order that was placed 30 mins ago"?? Really?? What a scam! Now it's starting to make sense why their satisfaction is going down, and nobody wants to shop at JCP any longer... This makes me sad because I've had an account with them for almost 20 years. Well I will close my account after this. To me this shows how little JCP cares about their customers.

Before he completed the second transaction, he told us in a very coarse voice that we needed to go back to end of the line for our third transaction. I said this was the first time I was being told to do this and whether JCPenney changed its policy on customer services and his response was "no".
But more important than this was the fact that he was absolutely uncaring to me as a customer. He treated me like a beggar waiting for a handout. I felt so humiliated in shopping at that store.

First of all, the customer service staff (I spoke with two) were very friendly and accommodating. It's the policy that I have a problem with! The reason for my complaint is it took me 45 minutes to get a single window curtain panel replaced without my paying for the shipping! I ordered 4 panels online. I have done this before with no problem. However, this time one of the panels was not in its original packaging. I didn't really mind. I opened it up, and it was stained! I put up the three others and packaged up the damaged item for exchange.
I called, on hold forever! Then, spoke with someone who told me the shipping cost was my responsibility! She said so easily, "You can just take it to the closest JCPenney for exchange." I said I shouldn't have to! I immediately asked for a manager. She said sure and placed me on a very brief hold. The next person I spoke with told me she was making an exception for me. Why would I place an order online if I can easily go to a JCPenney? I explained my situation. She placed me on hold again. All told this was ridiculous!
THEN she had to make a credit to my card and then a new order! I asked her to just exchange it for a new one. She said she couldn't! The order summary states "EXCHANGES & REFUNDS". I am not happy to say the least and will not ever purchase anything from JCPenney.com ever again! The sad thing is, I placed 3 more orders after I originally ordered these curtains. I would never have thought such a long standing company would have such a ridiculous policy. Please get up to date with the times JCPenney!

I was waiting for 3 additional blinds that would never be delivered.
JCPenney's solution was to refund my money for the 3 blinds that were never delivered. Really, so what am I supposed to do with 2 blinds that was coordinated with the other 3 blinds. They said it could possibly take 10 days for them to mail me a check for the refund of the 3 blinds. I inquired if I could return the other blinds and I did not get a response. However, I am going to return them because I can't use them. I am so disappointed with this transaction that I will never order anything from JCPenney again.

I just got the run-around for two days speaking with JCP Customer Care Service & their warranty company. I purchased a reclining sofa & matching recliner just over a year ago. The right-side of the Sofa Reclining mechanism broke. My furniture is not abused as I have no young children in my home. When furniture was purchased February 2016, the salesperson did not offer me an extended warranty nor did she sign the folder that all the papers came in that the warranty was declined. When the furniture was delivered, there were hang tags attached to the furniture. It states that the consumer has "LEGAL RIGHTS" and the mechanism is covered for a period of 5 years! As this sofa was supposedly made in China, this would be the Manufacturer's Warranty.
Speaking with several of JCP Customer Care Associates none of them knew what to do or how to handle this problem. One person did say that I could get the furniture fixed & gave me the number for Classic Furniture Repair or that I could order a new piece of furniture and when it came in then I could call JCP and they would pick up the defective product & I would get credited for the amount that I spent. When I called Classic Furniture they were asking me for a Work order number which I never did get from JCP. It has been "One Big Run-Around" from JCP Customer Care Center. They did tell me to call a Furniture Repair Company & I did. Guardsman. They will fix my sofa for $150. You mean JCP will not accommodate me for $150 & looe a life-long customer.
I'm not a happy customer so I will have to choose somewhere else to purchase good quality furniture. My husband & I have been a JCP Customer for 40 years & we opened a credit card with them that many years old. I hope Marvin Ellison, CEO of JCP gets to see this. Thank you. We will both take into considerable consideration when purchasing another piece of merchandise from JCP. What happened to JCP? Why do people still shop there?

I lost my original gold diamond wedding ring 3 years into my marriage.

I made this purchase to make a promise to my wife that we would be having a family soon and we would be 3 soon in our family and I would take great care of our new son and that as a promise I would never lose this ring and would hang on to it through thick and thin. I held on carefully and safety to my ring taking great care of it. I had it resized and polished almost 2 years later on 1-25-14.
Then a little over 3 years later on 4-20-17 one of the black diamonds falls off, I soon noticed in morning one of my diamonds was missing. Very saddened I took to JCPenney to show them my lifetime warranty and my ring with a missing diamond and they assured me it would be all taken care of including a good cleaning and polishing once I received it back. So I waited and told my wife everything would be ok not to worry or stress out. Well almost 1 month later I get call saying that I needed to come in to discuss matters of the ring and options I had regarding it, so I go in 2 day later and the employee hands me a buyout credit slip of $234.99 and I tell him, "What is this?" He says, "Sorry we could not fix it so we bought it out!" I said to him, "You did not have my authorization or approval to buy it out anything without my full consent as owner of my own ring, what are you talking about?"
He then remembered and says to me, "You know what? I'm sorry I think I made a mistake. I think I must have forgotten to explain to you all of this and I processed a buyout by accident." So I tell him, "This is why I have lifetime warranty. To get it fixed. But if you can't fix it give it back. I'll take my promise ring somewhere else." He says, "I can't promise you anything!" What!!! I never approved none of this!! He says to me, "Please just give me a day. I'll see what I can do for you." So I leave feeling like I'm going to head to the ER, but saying to myself to relax and just give him one day maybe he will find it.
Got no sleep for 24 hours. Well next day I get no call and decide to call and talk to a main manager about it, she also agrees they made a big mistake and wants to replace it with a similar one or give me credit. I then explain to her, "That's a very important valuable sentimental promise ring and if it can't be fixed then return it asap," and that it's the only thing I have right now that I'm holding on to as a promise to myself my wife and family. She says, "I'm sorry. I completely understand where you're coming from. I have 3 girls and a family also and a promise ring to my family would means the earth to me also, so I'm going to have you talk to the district manager." So I get in contact with district manager and she also fully apologizes for their mistake and says she would be doing everything to get my ring back and would be calling me every day in till she found it.
Well long story short she calls me the next day saying she could not find it yet. Then yesterday she never called me. I called her 3 times got no answer, then today I called all day and got no answer or call from her as I was promised so 2 days passed by and I was completely forgotten. So I contact my attorney, and decide to call Police today. I'm willing to get the local news involved also very soon. This is extremely troubling to me. I'm having hard time understanding why JCPenney could do such a thing. I'm extremely upset and saddened about to go see a doctor soon because I haven't been able to sleep and thinking why JCPenney would do this. As for when it fits you feel it, well now I don't have my ring and I can't feel it and everyday matters! How so? And new look new day well for me it's sad worried look with horrible days.

When I never received any email for confirmation of shipment I decided to go to JCPenney.com and check the status on my own only to see that they added 2-3 WEEKS just for the items to ship!! I called customer service and after waiting on hold for over 45 minutes the rep hung up on me! I called back, waited another 30 minutes on hold & asked to speak to a manager.
I explained to the manager that I specifically paid for expedited shipping & they NEVER mentioned a 3 WEEK window just to ship the item when I ordered so they cannot do this! What is the point of paying extra for expedited shipping if you will take 3 weeks just to ship?! The manager refused to help, she refused to cancel the order, would not credit me for the extra shipping charges nor would she change the shipping speed!
Then she mentioned that some of the items I ordered & paid for were in fact out of stock and I would not be receiving them at all! The worst part is since those 2 items were out of stock & they would be canceling those items, my order now did meet the criteria to use the coupon I used and I would be charged more for the items that they are shipping & still was not allowed to cancel the entire order because it "goes to the shipping department right away" even though that department said they would not actually ship anything for WEEKS!!!
When I asked how a company can make all these changes WITHOUT even notifying the customer after they already paid, she explained that JCPenney sees nothing wrong with that & they do this all the time!! This is a disgusting and disgraceful company that does not deserve anyone's business until they learn how to treat customers!! On another note, I am fairly certain they sell customers information to marketers around the globe because I've had my email address for over 10 years but after placing the first order with JCPenney I started to receive spam mail!! Do not trust this company!! I honestly hope they go out of business soon!

I ordered items from JCPenney.com and I wanted the items shipped to the store. I tried calling the store like 8 times and not one department other than Sephora answered. I called customer service for jcpenney.com and its like they were rushing to get me off the phone. When I started to complain, the woman sucked her teeth and was so rude and hung up. I am too done with this company and their horrible service. How the heck are they in business still is unreal with this level of poor service. Worst is that when I called back they were still rude. This company other than Comcast has the worst customer service ever. Completely horrible.

After calling to initiate a return on a mattress, I had to call and follow-up THREE separate times before the mattress was picked up. These 3 calls spanned over the course of a month, but I was charged the $125 restocking fee right away (go figure). While waiting for this mattress to be picked up, I purchased a different mattress from a separate company. Their mattress came within a week so I was stuck with my JCP mattresses in my living room for over a month. Each customer care specialist was very kind, and each insisted returns should never have this many issues. When I asked about getting a refund on the restocking fee they told me it wasn't going to happen because they contract a separate company and that was their fee for picking the item up.
I've been stuck with the amount of my mattress, and the return fee, on my credit card since I initially called to return over a month ago. Of course I got charged interest and nobody seems to care because it's always someone else's fault. I will NEVER purchase an item from JCP again!! Such a shame for a company that's been around for as long as it has...

Now I have to argue with someone when I return. I want my 8.95 shipping back. And I'll never place another order with JCPenney again.

My husband and I scheduled an appointment for someone to come out and show us some samples and guide us in some window treatments. We were looking for blinds & curtains. This was all done in the beginning of October 2016. We placed our order and was told we should be seeing our order before Thanksgiving. Well that didn't happen! We were told it was on backorder. The order finally arrived in the middle of Jan 2017 & when it arrived the curtains were too short, the valances for the blinds were not measured correctly and one blind didn't fit correctly. They told us it would be corrected. We are still waiting for the corrected curtain. It's now the beginning of May 2017. It's been almost 7 months! They offered nothing for the inconvenience. I would never recommend them to anyone. The communication is very poor. You can never reach anybody and it takes forever before anyone returns your calls. Very disappointed!!!

1st order a couple of days ago went fine online. 2nd order today was a nightmare. They offered a 30% off discount. Picked out the items I wanted, tried to get the total amount. Could not do that until I committed to the order. When I did the discount wasn't there. I immediately contacted customer service. They wouldn't give me the discount or let me cancel the order. These are my choices. I have to contact them 5/2 (today is 4/29) to give them my order number, to ask for my 30% off. I can't cancel the order or adjust it, because it went to shipping as soon as I placed it. I'll have to wait until the order arrives, get in my car and drive across town to return it. If I knew that after the 1st order all subsequent orders would be set up like a trap, it never would have happened. This store was part of my childhood. I am truly disappointed.

I called to make an appointment for a trim for my teenage daughter. I told the girl on the phone that she had long layered hair and liked the ends to be razored rather than blunt. I asked the girl how much to send, and she told me that the price for an express cut (no wash, no style) was $22.00. I sent my daughter with $40.00, and they took all of it. I called the salon. They charged her $10.00 surcharge for having hair longer than shoulder length and kept the rest as a tip.
I asked why I hadn't been told about the surcharge when I asked about the price. They couldn't answer and brushed off my complaints. I went to the website. The choices for customer service are chat, tweet, or call. I chatted with a rep that said he couldn't do anything, that customer service was for online orders, and to call the store manager. I called for the store manager, but she wasn't available. I spoke to the shift manager, who agreed that I shouldn't have been charged more than the quoted price, but also couldn't do anything.
Both the customer service rep I chatted with and the shift manager said that they'd have the store manager contact me, but she never did. This haircut is not worth the $22.00 I was quoted, much less the $40.00 they took. My daughter went in to have the dead ends cut off her hair. However, it looks like the stylist just sawed at it with dull scissors. It looks worse than it did before, and now I'm going to have to pay someone to fix it. The fact that they use Twitter as one of their customer service options makes me think that no one at JCPenney seems to care if you are unhappy unless you call them out on social media. Horrible, horrible customer service, and quoted prices are changed after services are rendered.

I'm receiving emails from J.C. Penney that I didn't request, which is ok but receiving 2-3 daily emails is excessive. I want them to limit these to one per month or one per week. Tried looking at the Customer service site and there is nothing about email there. Tried their Chat option, that wasn't working. Tried calling was on hold for too long. I had to unsubscribe. I've noticed that when I do shop at their Wareham store they never have many employees working there so finding help is hard and I'm not going to the checkout to wait in line to ask a question.
This past Christmas I was shopped there. After waiting 10 minutes in line to check out I finally left and purchased none of the items I had spent time look for (a total waste of my time). They had 4 cashiers on, however, due to the red tape with coupons everyone was held up. Coupons need to be straightforward. Customer shouldn't need a magnifying glass to get through all of the exceptions on coupon.
Here's a crazy idea. How about getting rid of coupons altogether, get rid of the constant 20%-50% off deals "THAT AREN'T DEALS AT ALL". I'm now looking for an appliance. My usual go-to store is in certain danger to closing so I won't be going there. I'm certainly not going to buy one here either, with nothing but 1 Star ratings and complaints about "appliance services". J.C. Penney like other stores that are going under need to start asking and I mean "ASKING" customers what they want not calling with a survey that has nothing to do with what the customers really wants.

Finally 2 months ago (Feb. 2017) the right side of the chair broke completely. Their customer service is laughable. When I called to complain, I was told there was only a 1 year warranty on the product & sorry about my bad luck. They suggested that I contact the company who built the chair. So far, I've called 4 times and they keep telling me that someone will call me back but no one has yet. I am extremely frustrated & dissatisfied with this purchase. Any piece of furniture that cost this much should last longer than 1 1/2 years.
I tried to write a review and JCPenney pulled it saying it did not conform to their review standards. So I re-wrote the review carefully and once again, it was deemed unpublishable. Interesting thing though - the chair is no longer for sale anywhere on their website. Now, I am out $900 and have no recourse whatsoever. I will NOT shop at JCPenney's ever again.

After 12 days I contacted them again because I heard nothing from delivery company. This customer service rep told me previous rep had not even contacted delivery company. She then proceeded to tell me that she would arrange for UPS pickup and I should leave it outside my door! I repeated to her "IT'S A GLASS CURIO CABINET WITH SHELVES AND WEIGHS ABOUT 100 LBS!" She then said she would contact delivery company. Next day I find a UPS sticker on my door. I call again. No instructions on file to contact delivery company.

They are very nonchalant about the ordeal. There is no consideration given to me as the consumer. I was just told that sometimes the delivery company does that.

I am completely horrified by how JCPenney handles their issues. I was basically told that it's my bank's issue not theirs. I ordered a ship to store purchase on March 3rd. I picked it up the same day, realized they didn't fit and returned it the next day. I saw that the pending payment on my account was gone and thought that was the end of it, it wasn't. I was charged for the purchase today (a week later). Since I thought everything was squared away I didn't feel the need to keep almost $50.00 in my bank account. Since they charged me a week later I was over drafted. Now I have basically paid $70.00 for something I don't own. Once I spoke with them about this problem they said it was the bank's issue to deal with. I will not be stepping foot into a JCPenney again. I hope everyone who can reads this and is warned to stay very far away. This is a horrible company that is consumed with getting their money no matter how it affects other people.

I bought several items and played the game, 2 rebates per item, and carefully sent them in, keeping copies. You got your originals and I got the copies. I got damaged boxes and no original receipts. Now you've invalidated them because I didn't send them in the mail with a postmark within 33 days (never did find that rule or directed by the CHAT person as to where it could be found) told "The system will not validate submission that have more than 33 days from the postmark date." "But we do have to follow the guidelines of the promotion." One item he said wasn't up for the promotion. That's funny because the sign sure said it was and I pulled the rebate form off the computer.
Consumer beware. Walk the other direction!!! Don't be tempted. I'll consider your store only as only a pathway into the mall. Their resolution - They were really sorry.

After being transferred 2-3 times and over 52 minutes on the phone, finally getting to a supervisor (AMY) I had to repeat myself, 2-3 times prior of my situation. I have been a PLATINUM member with JCP for over 4 years. In the past, never a problem, always resolved. Amy continued to ask questions that are never asked. I tried to explain to her, my reasons of questioning her, which I did, because she brought up different scenarios. I even apologized to her on 1 occasion and then mentioned to her I was wrong. Did I get a Thank you at all. NO. I then explained to her being in customer service for 23 years I have never continue to push buttons when still not getting the answers of the questions provided.
Here is my story. On Feb 18, 2017 I ordered, well I thought I ordered 4 sets of Queen sheets through a employee at the JCP store. I was advised that my order should arrive within 5 business days to my home. I was away on business, as I explained to (AMY) No emails, no phone contacts of why my order has not arrive. Now over 3 weeks. So I called JCP.com. My 1st point of contact was 3/4/17. I was told my order was cancelled. I asked why. They said I need to speak to someone in a different department (supervisor) not on duty until 730am Eastern time. I then called back on 3/5/17 and was transferred 2-3 times and continued to answer all their questions they asked me, but no one could answer my questions, or give me an explanation of why my order was cancelled.
Until I asked for a Supervisor. That's when I got (AMY). I had asked her if she knew what was going on because I had already repeated my situation 2 times prior. She did not. She then started asking me all these questions about me. Which when I call in from my listed number in the system they know who I am. I explained my situation. I asked (AMY) why my order was cancelled. I wanted a reason. She then explained. The order was put in wrong by the agent in my local store. She never put my email address or phone number in, and the quantity was wrong. Then I questioned, this could not be.
My bill came in adding up to what I purchased, that's when I told (AMY) I have not received any of my order. I then explained 3 weeks have went by. Can I order a different item at a discount price of $10. off each item due to a 3 week delay error of the agent who incorrectly made my order. She then explained to me, "it is already on sale. We cannot give any other discounts".
I explained to (AMY) 3 weeks is a long time not to receive a order or have any phone contact or explanation. She (Amy) continued to say "do want to re-order the items you originally ordered". 1st (AMY) continued to say "I can get these cheaper for you". I knew something was wrong because my credit card bill still owed was over 200. and her bill added up only to 139. She did not listen to me. I even said to (AMY) "aren't you listening", (Amy) then said, "sir, do you want to re-order these items". I then said to her. "(AMY ) Haven't you hear a word I'm trying to explain to you". She did not want to hear anything I had to say. I told her in 4 years I haven't EVER been treated as RUDE on the phone as she was. She became silent...
I then said Hello, several times before she replied back. So 1 more time I said to her, for my 3 week order error could I get an additional $10. discount off each item, she continued to say "no. I can't". Then (Amy) said again "do you want to order these or not". I said no I do not, as well as told her to remember my words, that I was going to write this about her terrible customer service attitude. I enjoy shopping at JCP, and JCP.com but after this experience from the supervisor (AMY) Who did not care or want to listen, I will now take all my business elsewhere. She needs a lot of customer service training, or needs to be demoted.

I also bought an egg cooker thinking that this too was 40% off as the ad said. I was told that my rewards were used on the purchase too. I made my purchase and hung up after giving the sales lady an excellent review. I thought about the cost which didn't sound that much like a sale, and checked the prices online. There was nothing taken off the price of the purses and nothing off the egg cooker.
I called back and was told the 40% did not apply to the purses and I did get $10 off the egg cooker. No rewards were used on the purchase. Then to add insult to injury I was told I could not cancel the order. I would have to return it after I get it. So I have lost another hour and it will probably take another hour to get the merchandise returned and ensure my card is credited. I can't go to the store as I am not able to walk or drive.

I'm very upset that this item is in and my order was canceled. I'm upset if I would have repurchased it, it would have taken 5 days to get to me. So now I have to purchase this item somewhere else because I can't wait another 5 days and who know if it would come then. I'm disappointed and will not shop on JCP.com anymore.

I purchased 5 items during thanksgiving sale on 11/24/2016 and sent the rebate for, a copy of receipt and bar codes to the rebate address. I didn't hear anything so, I called them after 4 weeks and they said they have not received my envelope with those stuffs. They wanted me take picture of everything and upload, I did and now they are saying they can't see the date on the receipt. Of course because the receipt is too long and it cuts either the top or bottom. I near in the core of my heart that this is fake & scam that JCPenney wanted to give rebate. I send so many cards & letters, never get lost. I had the tracking & USPS says it was delivered to their PO Box. JCPenney is cheater & a thug store, It should be closed out from business for making customers foolish. Who will take actions against those? I am sick & tired with them & hate to my death.

Back in November we ordered a dishwasher and it was installed in December. While we could install it ourselves, we decided since it was a free installation promo, we'd take them up on that. Horrible decision. The person who did our installation completed flooded our kitchen and basement. He repeatedly told my husband the water didn't need shut off, just under the sink. My husband argued with him, but finally backed off. Bad decision. When I started getting out towels to mop up the mess in the kitchen and my husband grabbed towels to mop up the mess that was flooding into our basement he kept telling us he'd clean it up after he was finished. I kept telling him that, "No, this couldn't wait. Our basement, where all of our Christmas gifts were being kept as well as our computer, had water gushing down into it. We needed to take care of this mess NOW."
Once he finally finished the installation he quickly took off. No offer to continue to help us clean up, not even an "I'm sorry". He clearly wanted out of there ASAP. Unacceptable. We spent that entire afternoon and evening using a wet vac, fan, and towels to clean up the mess. Not to mention constant laundry since we kept running out of towels. I called JCPenney that day to complain and we were put in touch with the department who handles claims. In a few weeks they sent someone out to access the damage. He said it was clear they owe us money to replace the ceiling in our basement and possibly the sub floor in our kitchen. He didn't want to pull up any flooring himself to check. He said a second person would have to come out to find out how much they would owe us for damages.
It's not February and we haven't even been contacted to set up an appointment. I have been on the phone non stop today to try to get a hold of someone. I have been transferred seven times. The phone quality gets worse with each transfer. The last person gave me a new number to call and it ended up being for Home Depot who was very confused why I called them. Why would they transfer me and give me the number to Home Depot?
When I called the last number I was given prior to that one I said I was sick of being given the runaround. I want to speak to the person who can get me set up with an appointment to see what we are owed in damages and if this isn't taken care of I will file a complaint with the BBB and also seek not just payment for damages, but a full refund on the dishwasher. This is unacceptable. JCPenney needs to find another company to handle installation if they don't even show remorse for their damages and then won't follow through on phone calls to let people know what they're doing for their claims. Will not purchase from JCPenney again because of this experience.

My husband purchased this ring in December 2012. I lost a diamond within 2 months. Since then I have lost about 10 stones, some of which are the same ones. I did purchase the lifetime warranty, thank goodness. I have had the ring in for repairs 8 times. They just keep replacing stones, which would be fine if they used the same quality stones as when we purchased it. I just picked up ring this week and I was in my office, which is very bright. I looked down at my ring and the stones that were replaced, (there were 4) are very dark in color. I almost thought the stones had fell out again, but after looking closer, I see they are just a darker color.
I have been OK with them just replacing the stones, but I am NOT OK with using stones of poor quality. I purchased the warranty for a reason. I have asked the last several times to for them to just buy it back. They always tell me that if it can be repaired that is what they will do. I'm unhappy with my ring now. I am thinking of purchasing a new one, but it will most definitely not be from JCPenney's.

On 2/5/17 I took my 16 year old daughter to JCPenney in Spanish Fort, Al and after 3 days of shopping/searching for the right prom dress my daughter found a beautiful My Michelle Merlot long formal dress. We take it to the register to purchase and when the cashier rang it up the machine alerted an emergency recall on this dress. I asked to speak to the manager as the cashier could not tell me anything except I couldn't buy it. Now if that's the case why we're there over 15 of these dresses on the floor out ready to be sold.
The manager Barbara came to the desk stated she had no idea what the recall was about but that I just couldn't purchase. She did not apologize for the incompetence of the stock still being out on the floor, she did not offer me any type of coupons to rectify the mistake, she did not even sympathize with the fact that my daughter's heart just got broken, she just said you cannot purchase it. I have never heard of an emergency recall on clothing and was disappointed in the manner that this was handled. I watched my daughter go from so excited to have finally found the perfect prom dress to this look of devastation in seconds.
Now I understand there are other dresses out there and a prom dress isn't life altering but to a teenage girl after trying on at least 100 dresses to finally finding that one... And then being told no. It is mood altering. The only recall I have found regarding the My Michelle dresses are from 2013... Is it possible the store never returned it back to the company and somehow it got pulled out into the stock this year. Who knows? All I know is that I will never shop at JCPenney's again. The incompetence and lack of communication at The Spanish Fort location is to blame.

Let me just begin by this. If you are paying cash for your purchases you will love this store- if you are making a large purchase and putting on their credit card you may want to read. My review talks about our large purchases we made using a JCPenney Credit Card. We bought a sofa and chair from their clearance which was under $2000.00; three years interest free. We then went back to the store and ordered a recliner to match the set which was around $1200.00 but the salesperson told us it was only one year interest free. I asked if I made large payments would they pay down the item whose promotional interest rate expired first and she said yes. My fault because I had made almost $3000.00 in payments when I noticed our balance was up to $3000.00 still. I called and they said I hadn't paid off the recliner and it accrued interest. I was shocked!! I reached out to JCPenney's to help resolve this mess but still not resolved.
I also noticed that if I pay JCPenney's a couple of weeks before payment is due I not only get a late fee of $35.00 but interest from the beginning of the month to due date. So, I called and had the one month late fee and interest reversed after explaining they could see I made two payments before the due date... but wonder how many times I had done the same thing without paying attention.
That recliner which was ordered in December didn't arrive until late January was broken upon delivery. The entire back of the recliner was crooked and you couldn't sit in it as the back wouldn't go up and down. We called and they sent a repairman in March. The repairman said back was taken out of the base. He had to remove the upholstery on the back and remove it because it was not connected to the base. And they are charging us promotional interest?
We cancelled our Penney's card because of this furniture. It's a nightmare trying to deal with their customer service. If you call at the wrong time you are definitely talking to a call center in another country... and they cannot help. Then you call your local store and they say they cannot help. Our fault, the first time we ever bought furniture on credit but definitely our last!! Bad experience. I use to shop JCPenney's all of the time. I use to love their coupons and deals. This was our first interest free item and it turned into such a mess that I refuse to even step foot in their store. They need to talk to their salespeople who are giving out wrong information.

1/11/2017 Tried to place an order on the JCP website. The website was NOT calculating items that were on sale, specifically, buy one and get the next at 50% off. I tried several combinations of items trying to do the math in my head since I had to also calculate shipping if under 100 bucks. The website simply wasn't working as expected, (like every other shopping website does) so I opened a chat window to find out what to do next. The cheerful person was happy to help and asked if I would like to have them (JCP) place the order for me. After a short amount of time, I was asked if I was ready to check out. I said, "uh yeah... but, I don't have visibility of the order." I was told the amount was 75 bucks and they would waive the shipping. This was a great deal and I was glad for chatting with someone.
HOWEVER... after getting the email confirmation, I realized that while I was experimenting with different items trying to figure out how/why the website was/wasn't calculating correctly, I had left a cheaper but wrong item on the order. I called the customer service number immediately. It was 5 minutes after the order had been placed and I'm told my payment had been processed and accepted and THEY/JCP closed the order immediately. NO CHANGES OR CANCELLATIONS ALLOWED!!! (Hardly seems legit...but okay). Apparently, the ONLY option available to me was to wait for the items to arrive at my house, call them back and ask for return labels, take the packages to a UPS store or schedule a pickup, and wait for the items to go through transit to be received by the manufacturer's warehouse at which time JCP will issue a refund when they're notified.
The MFG's warehouse is in Washington State. I live in Oregon. Portland to Seattle, under normal circumstances, is about a 3 and a half hour drive. Oregon did experience some bad weather so a small delay in shipping was expected. 1/23/2017 I received the items and promptly called customer service for the return labels. After a brief argument with the agent who claimed, they could not issue a return unless it was damaged or... some other lame hollow restriction arbitrarily plucked from the sky to "change my mind" on the return... I tell that person to read the notes on my order. The agent said the labels would be sent out standard mail to my address... which was my request... but here it is... 1/28/2017 and still no labels yet.
JCP is crazy if they think this is acceptable. Closing an order after payment and before it's picked/shipped is counter-intuitive. Claiming a policy of NO cancellations when it's JCP's website that's screwed up, isn't right... It's a red flag. Taking and holding my money while I have to wait for the good graces of JCP to go through their self inflicted process... makes me mad. Message received! I'm still not halfway through the return process and they/JCP might be shocked when I don't purchase from them again. Btw, after talking with some other people at work, yeah, I found out my first mistake was shopping at JCP. I'm here to confirm their poor reputation is well deserved.

I recently ordered items for my husband and daughter from jcpenney.com and though I was satisfied with the quality of the items the return policy is horrendous. I would highly recommend purchasing through a different online company. I needed to exchange an item. I wanted the exact same item except my husband a size larger than what I had ordered. I was irate to find out that I had to pay shipping a second time in order to make an exchange. I often order from macys.com and they simply send out a return label and when they receive the returned item they reship the appropriate size free of charge.
I am highly disappointed because there is a purse that I really want from jcpenney.com (which would actually bring my total to the point that shipping on the original item would be waived) however, after my dealings with supervisor at jcpenney.com and their ridiculous online return policy it appears as though I will have to pass on the purse, get a refund for the sweatshirt and make my purchases elsewhere. I highly advise against any online shopping with JCPenney. In the long run it would have cost me over 25.00 in shipping charges to purchase a sweatshirt that was originally valued at 52.00; so much for sale! Again, I am extremely upset by this. I was a loyal JCPenney customer.

Clerk told us to find the right size and go upstairs to customer service because the original order was made online. We found the exact same model number, brand etc and did so. My husband was told that he would have to pay an additional $27.00 and that Penny's would not do an exchange.

After buying the mattress I was told the mattress had to be made before it could be shipped to our home and that it should take around 7-10 days at the most. Well it's past that. The delivery service which is located in California said it would be another week because they were backlogged. I called Penney's 800 # and was on hold about 30 minutes. When the rep answered the phone she had a sour tone in her voice and it only went south from there. Needless to say she was no help.
After 3 attempts trying to call the store in Frisco I asked to speak with the manager. Of course he was not available. I had to speak with Brady who did not have a clue and worst he really didn't care about resolving my issue. I finally went to the store and actually got to speak with a real Asst. Manager. I told her my issue and of course she was no help. So I canceled my order, handed her my JCPenney cards and told her that if this was the service of the future I'd rather do without.
Bottom line do not buy a mattress from JCPenney or anything else for that matter. It's too difficult and someone will end up lying to you to get you to buy something. I went to Mattress Firm today. Got the same exact mattress for 10% under Penney's with free shipping and I will get it tomorrow.

Soon they will run themselves out of business and all the exec's will get their huge bonuses. So sad...

This is my second experience like this one and my last. My last complaint went to Plano TX and did no good. I had ordered a winter coat and got the wrong size. I ordered a L and got a PM. I am not petite or medium so I returned the coat. There is no longer a catalog department. There is one register where one person is working. One person. The line for service was long, maybe 40 people. I stood in line while the clerk at the register helped each customer. One lady in desperation called out, "can't you call some help?" The clerk replied, "I'm not allowed".
One man got out of line and said he was going to find management. If it killed him someone would be held accountable. I think they killed him as he never returned, we all laughed about it. I was there an hour and ten minutes. Then the only clerk wanted to chit chat. I shut her up and said, "no, I want you to return this and hurry up... I don't want to talk about whether or anything else you have people in that line that have been there over an hour..." How dare her start chit chatting with me when she is obviously slow and intentionally stalling everyone perhaps to get even with her boss. Who knows. This was at the Battlefield Mall in Springfield MO. I will never enter the store again and will cancel my credit card with them on Tuesday.

It was non-existent.
She suggested I come into the store and she would help me get the pants ordered. As I watched her place the order on the computer there was a part, after we added it to the bag, that her screens was different than mine. On her screen there was an option to choose between home and store delivery that actually worked and looked different. Terry helped us complete our order and explained everything along the way.

I'm extremely angry regarding our experience with our refrigerator purchase. We purchased on 12/27 and still do not have our refrigerator. The delivery department showed up on the original ship date, came in our home and walked on our white carpet with wet, dirty boots. My husband was not home as they had called to move delivery time earlier in the day. The delivery man walked in, looked at the existing refrigerator and told me it was a tight fit. Really??? We know this, BUT the new refrigerator is the exact same size. The delivery driver sort of measured our fridge and immediately told me the new one would not fit. I questioned him, so he said he would go measure the new one. He came back in and told me it measured too large for the space. He handed me a paper and told me I needed to refuse the refrigerator as it was too large.
After they left, I called my husband who told me that the new fridge was exactly the size as the old one. 35 3/4. After going back up to the store and explaining that the delivery driver incorrectly measured and we wanted them to bring it back, they advised they could not until the 11th. The appliance manager basically blamed me when speaking to my husband saying I said the new one would not fit. YES, I told him that only because his delivery person told me it wouldn't fit! The appliance manager said he would call to try and move delivery up, but he did not according to escalation department rep. After speaking to multiple people, being lied to....we still have no fridge. It was supposed to be delivered today, but once again...lied to. They have no clue where our refrigerator even is.

I have been a customer and cardholder of JCPenney for over 40 years. I always loved their clothes. I recently order a dress online in a 12. When I received it I realized I needed a 14. The return instructions says return or exchange (not true). I called them because there is a place for returns, but not exchange. I was told to send the dress back and I would have to reorder. Another $8.95 shipping and pay for the return postage. The dress was on sale for $39.99 now it is $49.99. I would told that when I reorder I would have to pay the $49.99. I asked why they could not just exchange it and was told they do not exchange anything bought online. I will send the dress back, but will not be purchasing another. I had three more dresses in my cart, but they will be deleted. I am sure that I will not be shopping at JCPenney anymore. One more credit card down.

Purchased washer from J.C. Penney but on delivery the kid glove delivery service noticed that the color was not what we expected. We did not take delivery and the delivery service gave us an exception form so that we should be able to get a refund or the correct color delivered. Contacted J.C. Penney many times including the manager Jordan at Hamilton Town Center who placed the order and put in the wrong color. Getting in contact with J.C. Penney has taken many hours over several days. However, we still have no refund for the washer and there is no "White Unit" available.
We would be fine with washer in white or even a different model (have a few) but told they can't get them. We purchased this washer due to a Samsung Recall on the one we own. So I just want to see the refund for the washer in our account. Many times we were on hold for over 1 hour and then disconnected or transferred and disconnected. Why can't someone take ownership in this issue and resolve it. Have not seen this poor customer service in some years.

I purchased a refrigerator online August 26th. Worst mistake ever, story to follow but do not purchase an appliance from J.C. Penney, it took me three appointments to get it and four phone calls after it was returned to get a refund, horrible experience from start to finish. My refrigerator broke. It was scheduled for delivery Saturday, 9/10. We received a call that Friday, that it could not be delivered Saturday but would be there 8:00-12:00 on Sunday.
We called J.C. Penney on Friday since it is a major inconvenience to have to wait an extra day without refrigeration. We were told they would do what they could to get it to us on Saturday (apparently at this time they could contact delivery people) or it would be at our house first thing Sunday morning. Never heard back from them again, so we Sat home and waited Saturday, no refrigerator. Sunday at 10:00 we called J.C. Penney again who assured us it was on the schedule for delivery. We also called the automated delivery number and it said it is on the schedule.
I called J.C. Penney at 12:00 and asked if my refrigerator was coming or not so I didn't waste the rest of my day and weekend waiting, and was told by a very pleasant J.C. Penney rep, I think her name was Ivory, I should call them on Monday to see if it would be delivered on Sunday. She "had no way to contact them." (But the rep the day prior could contact them?) Apparently she does not have driver's contact number because I was told the driver would call me a half hour prior so he must have a phone, therefore a contact phone number. I have a family of four to feed.
When my husband called the shipping company Monday morning, now three days after scheduled delivery date, he was told they don't know anything, he would have to call the warehouse that opens an hour and a half later. When he called the warehouse he was told, they don't know what happened. Horrible communication in a time of everyone having cell phones and computers that J.C. Penney customer service department cannot contact their delivery people. I told everyone that I bought this great refrigerator from J.C. Penney at a great price with no interest for 30 months.
The story changed completely over the weekend. When the refrigerator finally showed up it was dented. I accepted it with the option to return it or get "something off the price." They offered "$25.00 off" so it was returned. I scheduled the pickup of my old refrigerator with the delivery people the next day. I was again told by the J.C. Penney delivery team it would be picked up in two weeks.
It was the most horrible experience and I would not recommend J.C. Penney delivery to anyone. To end the horrible experience I had to call three or four times to get a refund and the only reason I got it was because I charged on J.C. Penney's card and they somehow told me they manually credited my account. I was promised money for my trouble and now four months later not a penny. I went to the Home Improvement store, they offer next day deliver and free interest. NEVER use J.C. Penney delivery.

I took my children shopping on Jan. 2nd at the Parks Mall in Arlington, TX as they had Christmas money they wanted to spend. My teenage son chose a Nike jacket he wanted and proceeded to go stand in the line which only had one cashier working. After waiting on him for at least 20 minutes or more and there were still 5-6 people in front of him, I told him just to put it back, we didn't have that kind of time. It's a shame that on a holiday, they didn't have enough people working. It makes one wonder how much business they lose because people are not willing to wait in line for a long period of time and they are not appropriately staffed.

I went to the jewelry department at JCPenney's and asked the associate to show me the white gold and diamonds selection. The associate showed me a pair of earrings that were included in the large diamond sale. After she confirmed the authenticity of the gold and diamonds I bought them right away. I buy my wife white gold and diamonds twice a year and when I gave her these fake earrings she immediately made me aware of the sterling silver and glass. I felt betrayed by JCPenney's after years of shopping there I guess they have changed their honesty and loyalty.

My experience in JCPenney was ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. I went to JCPenney on two separate occasions... spending nearly an hour there each time accomplishing NOTHING. My first trip to JCPenney at the Southern Park Mall in Boardman, OH, I was advised that their wedding registry was "down" and was told to download the JCPenney app on my smartphone and create my registry online. Nowhere in the app did it lead/prompt you to create a registry. Therefore I visited jcpenney.com on my regular internet browser. I created my registry and added a few items online.
Later, I visited JCPenney at the Shenango Valley Mall in Hermitage, PA. When I was there, I spent a half hour waiting in line to speak to an associate. And once I did have help, I was advised that they no longer have scanners in store for the registries and everything is now done online. I was told that through the JCP app, I could scan items with my smartphone. Nowhere on the app could I even access my registry and on the JCP webpage on my browser, it does not give you the option to scan items - you can only search items online.
I spent another half hour standing there navigating through my wedding registry on my smartphone with the associate because no one who worked there knew how to help with adding items in-store to my current registry. I was brushed off by the associate after she gave me a 1-800 number to contact. I was extremely frustrated by the end of my visit. I called the store back later and spoke to a manager. I was simply told that there have been updates made to their system and she would contact me with answers. I have not yet heard back from them. With all the things you need to plan in a wedding, creating a registry SHOULD NOT be this stressful!!! I will DEFINITELY NOT be returning to JCP for my wedding registry. I will be looking elsewhere where I can use store devices to scan items I want to add to my registry. I'm happy to say that JCP will be losing my business.

I have utilized the JCPenney Panty Hose, "east 5th, Sheer Caress" Subtle Shapers, Super Shaper, Girdle Top Panty, Everyday Sheer Leg, Sheer Reinforced Toe, for more years than I care to count. I have abdominal scars from multiple surgical procedures that are bothered by center-seamed hosiery. For this reason as well as others, I simply loved this pantyhose style and recommended them to many of my friends with similar issues. My last order was in March of 2016 as I take very good care of my hosiery. Now, I find that you no longer carry this style and I am most distraught by my inability to order these. Why would you cease to carry this style and will you be resuming the manufacture of this item anytime soon?? I ask because I will need to seek this style elsewhere if I cannot procure them from JCPenney. Thank you for allowing me to provide you with my opinion!!!

Today I called inquiring about the rewards points I thought I should have that weren't showing up. Usually you earn 1 reward point for every dollar spent that ends up being a $10 reward for every $100 spent. Come to find out JCPenney changed the qualifying amount to earn the $10 reward towards future purchases to $200! Wow that's a big bump! $200! Especially for people who justify the rewards in order to shop at JCPenney.
The other major complaint is that people have been shopping away for the Xmas season thinking they are getting more rewards than they really are because JCPenney has not updated their Rewards website. It still says you earn $10 for every $100 spent. Imagine how many customers wound have shopped at say Kohl's for all their Xmas gifts when they could have received $10 for every $50 spent. Very sneaky not updating their Rewards website before the Xmas season. Most people won't return items after they find out about the sneaky move JCPenney made by omitting the new policy on their website since a lot of items were gifts. I smell a class action lawsuit brewing perhaps. I spent over $250 online and still trying to get any rewards out of that since my Rewards balance is zero.
Called customer service twice. The first girl acted like she didn't even want to be at work today and it was from her that I found out the dollar amount had changed. Tried to sort out why my $250 purchases were not giving me any rewards at all with this gal but she was no help at all. I called back and got a different girl who had a personality and was very pleasant. She saw the $250 I spent and was trying to figure out why my rewards were not showing up and then Click... my call was dropped then silence. So I spent at least an hour on hold/customer service to get absolutely nowhere. Well sad to say I'm done with JCPenney. I'm paying off my card and canceling the card. JCPenney used to have the best service and fair deals for those of us that count on discounts to shop there. I noticed lately their checkout clerks in the store are not very pleasant at all. No hello or anything.

We have been shopping for a KitchenAid professional 600 stand mixer on a number of different sites. The KitchenAid site, the makers told the product, has the product at full price at $599.99. When I came across the JCPenney site, the same product was at "41% off original price", with a sales price (after discount) of $499.99, stating an "original price" of $860.00. Are they falsifying the original price to make consumers think they are getting a deal? Screenshots are attached. This is pretty disappointing.

Visited store in Altamonte Springs, FL. Second trip to buy king-size bedding. Checkout for this item is in the custom drapery section. During both visits I encountered two of the most unprofessional sales clerks, ever. Finally purchased my items tonight after waiting in line for clerk to finish with customer in front of me. The clerk's name is Anita. She never looked up after the customer left, she proceeded to do her paperwork. I asked if she could check me out, she stated that I was in the custom drapery area and that was her priority!
I explained I wanted to order drapes to match the bedspread in my hands. She sighed and said ok, reluctantly. I stated that I was aware she did not want to make the sale. She then ranted about being there 11 hours with no help, etc. I will never shop there again, I will not beg any store staff to take my money. They also rarely have items in stock that are on display in the drapery section. During the holidays or any other time the lines are long, not enough cashiers. The service is much better at Walmart and I'm not a fan of Walmart!

My sister ordered 3 clothing items online and had them shipped to me for a Christmas present. I never opened any of them because I knew by the sizes that they would not fit. Took them back to the nearest store, stood in line forever and told the guy, "These were gifts. I'd like to exchange them for something else." He said okay, then ripped the neatly folded and pressed items out of their original bags, rolled them up and tossed them into a return pile. Then he fiddled with the register, printed a receipt and handed it to me. I asked him what it was for and where is the money and he said, "It was refunded back to your original form of payment." I told him AGAIN that it was a gift and I wanted to exchange it. He said that wasn't possible with online orders. Either keep it or it gets refunded. So now I no longer have a present from my sister. I don't know why she even shopped at J.C. Penney. I've only done it once in about 25 years and will never, ever do it again.

Purchased online. Spent almost $1000 for a Samsung gas dryer plus matching pedestal. Also ordered installation and the dryer installation components. When the installer demo'd the newly installed dryer for my wife, she noted that smoke was emitting from the dryer. "That's normal", he replied. Fortunately, my wife noted that there was smoke coming from the dryer on the delivery ticket. Of the course, the dryer does not heat up and dry clothing. After 25 minutes on hold, I was told that this was Samsung's problem, not J.C. Penney's. Still waiting for Samsung to contact us. Have repeatedly contacted J.C. Penney (been on hold for 28 minutes as I write this), to no avail. Feel like this has all been a scam. Recommend DO NOT buy appliances from J.C. Penney and DO NOT buy Samsung gas dryer.

Ordered online for the first and last time at J.C. Penney. First order didn't go through for some reason. Had to place my order again. Checking to see if the order went through the second time my online account stated that there were no orders even though it did. They shipped one item but have no clue as to when the other one will ship. Has to be the worst online shopping experience I have ever had.

Don't go to this store located in Coral Square Mall, Coral Springs, FL. The store needs to be closed down. They don't have help, their registers went down, the bathrooms are filthy, and they won't let you use a coupon and they demand it back. The escalators were down for 2 days. The help talks back to you and steals your coupons. They were reported to the corporate office for terminations.
