    We ordered Mom a dishwasher to be delivered. The 398.00 was taken from her acct. A day before it was to be delivered the money was returned to her acct. We called JCPenney & the rep said it was a backorder & was not available at this time. This was 3/6. We told her to cancel the order & she said she did. Now on the 10th JCPenney has taken the 398 from her acct again (she lives on SS). We called then another rep said the CANCELLATION WAS ONLY STARTED & COULD NOT BE DONE IN ONE DAY???

    Said G.E. was not closed & he could not do anything. We will have to call back Monday. Said it will be another 5-7 business days before Mom (80 yrs old) can get her money back. Said it is up to G.E. Well GE doesn't have her money, JCPenney does. The first rep dropped the ball & did follow thru on the cancellation. We will NEVER buy anything from JCPenney again. To add insult to injury they still don't even know when the dishwasher will be available???

    I ordered and pay for (took money out of my account) on Sunday and they took the money out before the scheduled delivery on Thursday. I needed a washer to replace a broken one asap. So I asked them to refund my money and they said it would take 3 to five days. It only took one day to take it out of my account and now it will take up to 5 days? What the **. I went to the store and the manager was very arrogant about not giving me my money back. 2 days to get the money for the appliance and 6 days later and I still haven't got the 105.99 back for the warranty. I go back to the store and the appliance manager tells me 7 to 10 days to get that back. Excuse me, it's my money and I have to put up with crap. Stay away from JCPenney. They don't mind taking your money but have all kinds of excuses. JCPenney's PA is the worst store I have ever dealt with. No wonder they are about to close!

    Customer Service Reps are Incompetent. Your credit card statements when purchasing promotional items are too confusing. I don't like it that I can't easily apply a payment to non-promotional items to my credit card account. I am forced to call your customer service line and have to request my payment to be allocated to the non-promotional items. But the rep did not do their job and allocate as I requested on Feb 26th, 2018.

    Additionally on Feb 12th my payment was not allocated as I requested either. Again I had to call back to JCP customer service to assist. It was time-consuming and frustrating. The rep could not clearly explain why there were issues with applying a payment to just the non-promotional items. Seems shady to me that making a payment to non-promotional balance is not user-friendly. JCP wants to stick that high-interest rate to me. I won't be using the credit card anymore and once all is paid off, Bye Felicia!

    My bank detected fraud when I tried to buy a washing machine from the online store with JCPenney, they had tried charged me twice and I had to contact my bank to allow one charge through. Then, they turned around and charged me again, two days later well after I'd made my order, this one wasn't authorized by me. I called their customer service and this rude gentleman told me that there was nothing to show, that on their end I had only been charged once. To add insult to injury, it is now 3/6 and my bank account is overdrawn and I can't do anything until the process finishes. If you need new appliances, I'd suggest anywhere else, so as not to get overcharged, and not have the people installing the device STEAL from your home while there.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It was the oven that went. Not the stove top. So I am pissed because I could have a least use the stove top but I can't because the old stove was removed already. Why wasn't I called before now? Good question. Wish I knew. That's a doggone shame. And I have a potluck tomorrow and my dish is one of the main dish. I am not happy and if they cancel the next delivery next Tuesday not sooner I am canceling my doggone order. 100... Why do they think it needs to be a Tuesday. It's their screw up. Not mine.

    I tried to place an order using the JCPenney app, and at the end it told me the order did not go through. (Not the first time I’ve had difficulties with the app.) So I switch to a laptop and did it from there. I noticed later that I received two order confirmations by email so apparently the first one HAD gone through, even though the app said otherwise.

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

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

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

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

    Went to Destiny USA in Syracuse to buy a new mattress set along with a new headboard. Salesperson ordered headboard online and the mattress set thru the store.

    *Excuse my language* but what the hell? The order was placed over a week ago and the day it's due to arrive, is when this is realized? So when exactly were they planning to ship the item? And why did the automated line advise that it had been shipped? If you are serious about receiving items you've ordered online, I recommend using another company. There's no telling when or if your order will be cancelled. Oh! The rep at the 800 number advised I could wait a few days and try and order the item again. HA! That'll never happen!!

Different brands mixed together, Nike boxes open everywhere and all over the floor, the desk a complete mess and a sales rep nowhere to be found after waiting around for a while. Finally, I noticed another worker going to the desk, followed her, and a rep came out from the storage room. So someone was back there. When I asked about the shoes, the rep I followed was helpful enough, she said there was one pair of Nike's I was looking for left on the floor, but I was not going through that mess to search! She didn't seem like she was going to help either.

    Then I found the pair online and placed an order for store pickup. I got the initial emails, but no email saying the item was ever shipped. I spoke to a rep through chat, who was helpful. She said to call the store, I tried all day, but no one's picking up. The day I went, I also walked around looking for clothes, and there's clearance racks everywhere!

    I would have gave them no stars, if I could have. Ordered item, paid extra $$ to have it within 2 days, only to now be told I will receive on Monday, which equals 5 days. Transferred 5 different times, customer service is terrible, they didn't care.

    I bought a crockpot that was out of my price comfort on Black Friday because it had a $20 rebate. I waited until after Christmas and a card (instead of a check) finally came in the mail. I tried to use it FOUR TIMES and it was declined. I called the JCPenney reward center and they have a record of $20 being paid to a gas station and 7 cents being refunded a week later. I told them it was declined and we have bank records of paying for gas that day out of our bank account. The rep said I had to bring all the records to the gas station. They aren't going to dispute it. This is NOT the rebate I had expected.

    Signs throughout the store 40% off if you spend 40.00. I spent 134.97 not one of my items was discounted 40% off. I did buy a bogo item (Lee jeans) when I asked a employee if they were included she said shrugged her shoulders and said, "I don’t know." So I guessed they were not. But I thought I had enough to get 40% off the other items. I was wrong. Not only did I not get a discount, I was overcharged on a clearance item. Too confusing and no explanation with the signs! I had to go home and go online to read the rules. Very deceptive!!

    Some signs posted spend $40 on regular priced items & get 40% off. I got 2 items not on sale & it was over the $40. I didn't receive the 40% off since 1 item was an extreme value. As a customer I don't know all the sales & meanings behind them. I just know it was on sale as they wouldn't know all the meanings to my job at the hospital when they're written. So I asked for management. I get an older rude lady, nothing professional about her & I asked her how is a customer to know what's an extreme value or just a sale. Responds with a I don't care attitude it's what is. Dumb ** doesn't realize that it's a job & employees come & go. She's just there to earn a check she don't deserve.

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

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

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

After she expressed in her ** way that she does not set the prices I asked for a manager who did not know any better. I refused the purchase and reminded them of how I foresee the store closing just like many other have. After research online it seems that the posted signs were outdated that's why the pricing was wrong in the first place but they were too DAMN dumb to figure it out.

    I have never been so unsatisfied with an online purchase before. We ordered a mattress during Black Friday... and it never arrived. Calling JCPenney's ridiculous customer service support did nothing. Waiting on hold for hours got us nowhere, only to be informed it was up to the distributor to deal with our purchase. The distributor simply refused to deliver it. Every week they would say they were scheduling routes the next week. FOR TWO MONTHS. Finally we called to cancel it, and after months of waiting we were now without a bed for months, and screwed because we missed any opportunity for a sale. Unapologetic, they offered nothing but a refund, no acknowledgment of how much they put us through. I will never purchase anything ever again from them.

    I purchased a $1000 LG washer from the store on January 10. It was delivered with a defective door and taken back and supposedly reordered. I have since spoken with at least 10 associates, been given 7 different stories, and still have yet to get a date for the delivery of the washer I already paid for. To date I have spent 327 minutes on the phone. This the worst customer service and most convoluted process. I requested a discount for my troubles but they don't offer discounts... I instead have to submit a "compensation request" via the phone but this can only be done AFTER my product is finally delivered.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Paid for a Samsung Hub refrigerator for $4,000, had delivery guy show up to tell me that he could not get it up my stairs and that I have to tell JCPenny to request 4 guys. Had to return the order just to change the delivery option and then rebuy which does not make sense. After rebuying the fridge, which I was forced to do because their system won't redeliver with 4 guys unless I rebuy, the delivery company used the excuse of the mud floods in Montecito to reschedule. The lady, Nicole, totally lied because we have 4 freeways that come to our house. She took advantage of a calamity and distressful situation that had no effect on them, as an excuse to not deliver.

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

    Ordered pair of shoes online to be delivered to store for pickup. They were sent to wrong store in a different state. The customer service number on the order says that it is not their problem and must call store that shoes were delivered to. That particular store will not answer their phones - any of the departments that were called. I called the online customer service again and they still said "not their problem". There is also no email address to send concerns regarding the incorrect store. I will no longer shop at JCPenney.

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

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

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

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

    I want to say that I had purchased my ring on September 10, 2017. First I order the wrong size. Now I go back to the store on October 16th, 2017 to reorder the right size. I had to wait about 2 weeks for my ring to come back in. I go to the store to pick up my ring. So happy. Less than 2 weeks my stone fell out in November. Very disappointed. I call the store. Ask what can I do about my stone falling out. I didn't purchase the protection plan so the nice lady said, "Come in and I see what can I do". I come in. They said, "I'm going to send it out to the repair store. We will call you as soon we hear something." 2 weeks went by no phone call. I call asking about my ring. The people said, "Nothing yet." I call again a week later. I told the lady I lost my receipt. It's the holiday now so I know they are extra busy. They can't find my receipt or my name in the system so now I'm really upset.

    They ask me what race was the people that helped me. I don't know how that was supposed to help because to me they looked like seasonal helpers. Now at this point I'm getting married on my grandmother's birthday. She is pass but this day means so much. Now the store tells me the repair place couldn't fix it. I waited from early November until January 4th just to hear they couldn't fix it. I had never received a phone call. Never about my ring. I'm going to get married without a ring because no one can communicate at JCPenney. I live in CT and a lady from Arkansas called me because JCPenney thought I lived in another state. What I'm saying is someone reached out to me from another state and my own state couldn't reach out. I would never order from JCPenney again because now my day on January 12th 2018 be ringless. By the way JCPenney found my receipt from the repair place.

    I am currently on the phone with JCPenney Major Appliance delivery. This is the 8th time I have tried to get my order resolved. Having ordered a gas range and a refrigerator on Nov. 24, I have had to endure a long series of mistakes and botched deliveries. My first delivery in early December included a refrigerator with a large scratch on the front door, which I refused. It also included a gas range which the delivery men could not install because they were not authorized to install a gas range(?). They left the range in my kitchen and I hired a plumber to come and install it. When they came to pick up the old range, they did not have a refrigerator. Instead, they delivered another identical gas range. This was already 2 weeks into the process. They told me they would deliver the new refrigerator the next week, but when they did they realized that the new refrigerator would not fit into the same door being used to remove the old refrigerator.

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

Call JC Penney and they stated I would have to return the damaged product to one of their stores. We did. They credit our account and ordered a new set and didn’t charge us shipping for the replacement order.

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

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

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

Well, over one month later, dozens of phone calls to customer service, hours of inconvenience waiting for the deliver truck and mounting frustrations beyond belief...need I say more! So, it turns out, you can order an appliance from JCP but you cannot return it to the store...you have to arrange to have it picked up again and then reordered and redelivered. What kind of customer service is that? Never had that policy at the other major competitors. Absolutely not worth the few dollars saved over other retailers in the area.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    I don't understand how this is even legal, I returned a Christmas dress I got for my aunt because it wasn't going to fit her. And we figured we'd just look for a different one. But when I went to return It I couldn't find my receipt. I stood in line forever and when I got up to the counter the girl tells me without a receipt I'd only get a portion of MY money back??? I expected a gift card without a receipt and that was fine since we were going to get another dress anyway. But I spent 80.00 on this dress and they wanted to give me like 12.00 back!!?? This used to be one of my favorite stores. I've shopped here for years. But I will no longer spend my money here nor any of my family. I feel as if I was robbed. This is wrong.

    I purchased a dining room from Penney's store on 11/20/17, with a promise delivery date within two weeks delivery date. LIES! LIES! LIES!. No one called me. Instead I have made numerous of calls including the "Customer relations executive office". Ha Ha. This office is a joke. To make matters even worst, I've written and faxed a letter to the corporate office, but haven't received so much as an acknowledgment. As of today, I don't have a set, but yet my credit card has been billed! Stay away from JCPenney. I wish I had read comments from this site before making my purchase. Very disappointing.

    I ordered multiple items from JC Penney's on 11-22-2017. I got all but one item. I called probably 1/2 dozen times to only be told it is shipping. I called 12-24-2017, upset because I show they charged me for item I did not receive. They would not do anything but refund me what I paid for item even though I wanted it. They just refund me and then say if I want it I have to reorder through some email they will send and I have to call back. Then I can go through this scenario/nightmare again. I don't understand how they think it's ok to put something up for multiple orders and not track how many people purchased the item. They say, "oh, well we don't know because we aren't in the warehouse".

    The customer service people and corporate were NO help at all. They were actually condescending at corporate, where I spoke with Sandra. I think they should compensate customers not treat them like, "Oh, we are doing you a favor and letting you reorder your order that you already ordered and waited a month on and called multiple times with no communication from us as to what is happening or what to do. But we are SO nice to let you go through this again and maybe get the item after all. So order again and we will charge you again and take the chance... aren't we a wonderful company???" GRRRR!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Original Review: Dec. 21, 2017

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

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

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

When I said I would hold they sighed and said "OK!?!" After waiting 24 minutes I gave up. So 18 days after placing an order I've been charged but still have nothing to show for it. Do not waste your time or money on a failing JCPenney!

    Purchased all new GE kitchen appliances from JCPenney middle of August and Saturday Dec 9th my stove made a loud bang and threw the breaker and was smoking like burnt wires. Contacted GE and was shuffled around to different people. They then tell me the soonest they could have someone out to check the stove was the 18th of December. Can't be without stove for over a week. GE finally says they will have someone locally come out on the 13th. They never showed up so I call the place that was supposed to show up and they tell me that GE never contacted them so I call GE back and GE tells me that the place that was supposed to come out rejected the order.

    So here I am now being told by GE that the soonest they can get someone out is the 21st. I finally call back to JCPenney and couldnt get help from anyone there until I reached Allison at the Greenwood location where I purchased the appliances and she tried contacting her Store Manager as well as the District Manager and all they responded back was giving me different numbers to make contact to GE. Way to go JCPenney and all your help for a bad product I purchased from you. I need a new stove. Eating out is getting really expensive. I need someone to resolve this issue right away.

    I had two items in my cart. When I went to pay, only one item was placed to my order. To avoid any extra shipping with two different orders, I called to see if they could either cancel the order and start over again or if they could combine the order with the two items needed. I have now been on hold with the customer service for over an hour. I have tried to submit an email online, twice it was rejected, first stating that I don't have permission, and the second time stating their email services are down. I have a newborn and thought ordering online would be less stressful. I probably would have been better off taking my newborn out to the mall. I will never order from this store again!

    It doesn't matter if you order something to be delivered to the store or to your residence. There is always going to be a problem if it's through JCPenney! If you have it sent to the store they won't call you and tell you when it's there, if you order online it will get held up at some post office and not be at your residence on time and they expect you to know this and call to find out where it is? Or else you'll pay for something you won't receive?

    I ordered several items on Black Friday weekend. I received most of my order, except for an NFL jersey and an NFL hat. I called customer service and was told the items were ready to be shipped. When I didn't get notification, I called back and was told that they would reorder the items and send them to me with free expedited shipping. Once I got the confirmation email, I noticed there was no detail, no sizes listed, so I called back. After being on hold for 2 hours, I was told by a supervisor that she had to cancel my order and the item was out of stock. Did I mention I had been charged a second time for these items? So now I am out $200 and have no gifts to give my son for Christmas. The people I talked to did nothing to rectify the situation. When I expressed my dissatisfaction, I was met with silence.

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

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

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

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

    I’ve been trying to get these items since Thanksgiving. After this ordeal I completely lost the excitement I had for the mixer and wanting to explore new levels with my cooking and baking. Will be Returning all my newly purchased items to JCP and won’t bother with the store again. What a disappointment, and an embarrassment to the decent store it used to be.

    I went into JCPenney Meyerland on 11-15-17 and purchased washer/dryer set. Scheduled delivery on 12-9-17. Appliances delivered on 12-9-17 but instead of an electric dryer with washer, I received a gas dryer with washer. The delivery driver indicated probably best to refuse entire order to ensure receive a matching set upon reorder. It has been a nightmare since 12-9-17. The store operator not the appliance department answers the phone. I finally got a person on the line after back to back 5 hour calling 8:00 on 12-9-17 (Atis). He indicated if I request correct appliance would have to wait for credit to account to show then delivery would be after 12-28-17. Atis, stated to call back on Monday 12-11-17 at 10:00 am and speak to store manager Kevin (Meyerland Store) to garner assistance relative to this matter.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    We ordered some bedding from JC Penney on Black Friday online and they had it online but then later did not. I called to see if we could get a different kind for the same price and they said no. Because they did not charge us for it that they could not make the adjustment. So if you are planning on getting anything from JC Penney online for Black Friday don't. Kohls' and Macy's have great deals and won't screw you over like this. We have to wait for Black Friday next year to get deals like this again...

    I ordered a refrigerator online for a tenant and paid the 15.00 for the haul away of the old appliance. Somewhere along the line, it wasn't put on my service order. I stay on hold for over 30 minutes, trying to get this taken care of and never got a person, just the, "Your call is important to us," recording. Now I'm stuck trying to get rid of a fridge, out the money, can't talk to a person, and know I will never buy from them for any of my other units again. Now I see why they are in financial trouble and need to steal my 15.00. They can use it more than me, I'm sure.

    I'm disappointed in the delivery and refund of my purchase. I waited over 2 months for back order and delivery of the Larchmont dining table only to have it damaged. When I refused the damaged table they stated I would receive a refund, however, they didn't tell me the delivery fee wasnt refundable. I feel the delivery fee should have been refunded. I would have gladly accepted the table had it not been damaged. I've made several calls and have been told the fee will not be refunded. I feel the delivery crew knew that it was damaged but had to deliver anyway. It's the last furniture I'll ever order from JC Penney and I urge anyone reading this to be cautious.

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

    Bought a few items on Thanksgiving, online, to beat the Black Friday crowd. Found a great deal on a king size bedding set, $40 shipped free to my house by Dec 4th. A week later it hasn't been shipped and I had to search to see it is on backorder. Since when do Black Friday sales get back ordered?? If I don't get the set I paid for I will be so mad. I missed out on buying similar deals literally anywhere else on Black Friday. False advertising!

    For Black Friday, they were offering a buy one package of boxers ($29.00), get one free. They refused to send me the free package. I called and they said I had to order two. The woman was very rude and who wouldn't want the free package!

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

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

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

    I ordered a bunch of furniture from them back in June, two of the pieces were damaged. I called over 10 times to have it picked up and replaced just to be told that the person/people I had talked to before them hadn't done their job, like they said that had, so I had to start back at the beginning every time I called. After about 3 months they finally picked up the damaged things and brought new ones with a promise to compensate us for the issues. It has now been 5 months and about 30 calls later and still no refund. I've never had to deal with such an awful company before and wouldn't recommend buying anything from them.

    All I can say is I can see why stores are closing all around us due to online shopping. I went into JCPenney's last night to do some shopping which I found the parking lot very empty and hardly anyone in the store. After spending 30 minutes finding what I needed I went to the register to pay. No one was there to check me out so I waited for about 5 minutes and then went to the jewellery counter to find out if I was at the right register which the lady did confirm I was so, I told her I had been waiting which she replied that she would call for someone to come help me. After waiting again and two other ladies joining me in line I went back to the jewellery counter and told the same lady that there was a line forming and that we all were very irritated that they were taking so long to find someone to check us out. Needless to say I finally gave up and left what I had come to purchase on the counter and left. I think this will be my last time going to this JC Penney Store.

    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.
