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

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

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

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

I paid $25 for a 24-hour shipment on August 21 and I did not receive my order. Call to ask what happened and they told me that I have to wait until August 24th because the shipment is not 24 hours, it's 2 business days from the day when the warehouse finds the item. Is this a joke??? On top of not receiving my things, the employee on the phone was very grumpy and she spoke rudely. GOOD BYE JCPenney, I won't buy anything again in this store because the way how you treat customers and the lack of cordiality and lying about a 24 hour EXPEDITED shipment which is not true!

NEVER EVER BUY major appliances from JCPENNY. Their service is so bad. It's been a month and still they were not able to deliver the product. Each week, they schedule and I take few hours off from work and no one show up. Call the customer service. They apologize and things doesn't happen. I don't think JCP is good for appliances. I don't think that's their expertise. Stay away.

I tried to place an order at jcp.com with a spend $10 get $10 off coupon. My total order was $17.98. When I applied the coupon it said my order doesn't qualify for this coupon. I called customer service but they couldn't figure out why, One supervisor (Antoinette) started reading me the list of exclusions. I told her, "Just tell me the part that pertained to my order", there was none. She said, "I can't make it take the coupon if it won't." I told her, "I'm not asking you to. Just give me a legitimate reason", she had none. Called corporate on Monday. Also no help. Offered me the promo they have now %10-15% off (horrible).

They state your items will arrive in 4-7 business days. When you call, you are told it takes 4-7 business to ship the order, then 3-4 more days to receive. They say items have been released and are on hold??? Why??? I order a lot and get most things from other companies in a maximum of 4 days, most of the time 2-3. There is no reason to call customer service - their job is to read to you what you are reading on your order page on the website, and give you some lame excuse.

I have been a customer of JCPenney for years. The last 2 online orders I have done have been straight crap. I purchase shirts for myself and my son. I spent $175.15. I got an email that one of the shirts was out of stock. No problem, except I was NEVER refunded my money. I called and waited about 20 minutes and the problem was supposed to be fixed (IT WASNT).
Just recently I gave it another try. I spent $178.32 on clothes for school for my children, and once again one item was out of stock. Once again, I called and I was told it was never charge to my order but I looked at my bank statement and it sure as hell was charged. I called back another day, I got the runaround about the order, then the supervisor was very rude and she told me it was a problem and that I needed to contact my bank because it was my bank problem not theirs. This has to be the most outlandish ** service I have ever gotten from JC Penney. I will never shop there unless I go into the store.

Ordered refrigerator, washer and dryer all to be delivered. First delivery date, driver called, be there in 20 minutes - 4 hours later JCP called to say they couldn't make it - just didn't have enough time that day. And that because it was Saturday. I would have to wait until Tuesday for delivery because they don't deliver on Sunday or Monday. JCP said they'd call Monday with delivery time - they never did. I called Tuesday morning - they don't have a delivery time - just sometime today. 430 pm Tuesday - no appliances - I call AGAIN - "oh they can't find your address so they won't deliver today" - will be first thing tomorrow am. I have had several other deliveries (furniture etc.) with no issue. They will "try" to deliver tomorrow. The best part - they won't refund me without a 24% restocking... for something I NEVER received...

When I realized that my living room furniture would not be ready or delivered for another month I cancelled the order. That was May 16 2017. I am still being haunted by the Store on a monthly basis to pay for the furniture. I am getting letters by the bank that handles their accounts called Synchrony Bank.

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

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

I tried to order over $3000 worth of kitchen appliances online. While ordering online, I was offered the chance to save 5% "today" by applying for a JCP credit card. I did that and was approved. But, the 5% would not show up. After calling the regular customer service number and being told it should apply, they transferred me to the appliance department to discuss it with them. That's when things went bad. The female rep was rude from the start and didn't seem to understand my issue. She kept saying I had to drive to a store with my credit card and order the appliances in the store to get the 5% discount. When I read what the online ordering page was saying, she got even more rude. After realizing she was not going to help, I asked for a supervisor. I was placed on hold for nearly 30 minutes and then the call was disconnected. I gave up and placed my order with Lowe's (for about the same price and with much better customer service).

I have been a regular JCPenney online shopper for many years. They have great sales, and have always has quick, and efficient customer service. Something has changed drastically! I recently purchased a comforter set, and some extra throw pillows to go with it. When it arrived there was not one thing correct in the order. NOT ONE THING! So I called customer service, and waited 40 minutes. They were able to re-order one item for me, but they hung up before I was finished with them. I called back, and was told it would be another 40 minutes. I don't know about you, but I don't have that kind of time or patience.
I ended up returning the whole order to my local store. I went home, and re-ordered everything. Fingers crossed! Oh, and I just received the one item I was able to re-order... they sent the wrong one again. I called customer service again, and was told it would be a 54-minute wait. I also tried to call the corporate office, but they have made themselves unavailable. I am so sad, I don't know what has happened to my favorite online store!

I had my JCPenney’s account for a couple of years and it’s almost paid off when I received a letter stating my account has been closed reason being that they put a payment through. When I called them and told them my bank card was lost or stolen so the agent told me, “Just come into one our stores and pay cash and it won’t go against you because you're paying on time. I will put it in my notes.” So I did what I was told, paid my bill into the store in Joliet Illinois and now I get a letter a week later stating my account is closed.
I called and spoke with several different people saying nothing can be done. Then I got 3 rude managers saying nothing they can do. This isn't right. I'm going to keep complaining about how rude, heartless and how Horrible their work ethics are. I want to be treated fairly and respected not like I'm a lying Criminal especially spending lots of money in your stores for years and in reading others comments I'm not alone.

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

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

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

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

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

I called JCP customer service immediately, hold on the phone for more than 1 hour. A JCP agent told me that she couldn't cancel my order nor waive the shipping cost. Plus, she told me $10 off coupon would show up on my JCP app within 20 minutes. Waited for 1 hour again, I didn't see any coupon. My only hope is that American Express would refund the difference. I am done with JCP and no wonder they are on the verge of bankruptcy.

I am being treated like a criminal for too many returns. I have had a receipt for every single return I have made, yet I was flagged. It's embarrassing to have a cashier then a manager tell you they can't return clothing that doesn't fit for 180 days. I always charge, which should be proof I am not shoplifting. Last year I spent $3000 on my card at Penney's. I am stuck with clothing that doesn't fit... Again I always have a receipt or bag the order comes in. I purchase for myself, my 3 children and my 3 grandchildren. I'm done with JC, we are building a new home, I'm buying my appliances and blinds elsewhere.

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

I purchased a GE electric range July 11 with a delivery date of July 20. I was supposed to be called 24 hrs advance for delivery time. Got home from work. No message. Called cust service next day and was told it wouldn't be delivered until July 27! Apparently can't dial phone because they said my number was no longer in service. I've had this phone number since 1982! No one else seemed to have a problem reaching me. Demanded money back or substitute and they told me I would have to call Penney's because they were only GE customer service. Spoke to store directly. No satisfaction. Won't substitute another without charging me. Canceled order and will cancel my charge. They will be going out of business one day soon. I'm sure!

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

I wouldn't buy a life jacket if I was drowning from JCPenny. The absolute worst experience I've ever had purchasing a pair of Nike sneakers. When I tried to pay for them the cashier talked me into getting a JCP credit card so I could save 10%. When I called to make a payment I couldn't understand the agent on the other end of the line and then she wanted a check number which I gave her. The payment never went thru. So after that, I had to drive back to the store to make a payment (convenient isn't it). After that, I had some health problems and had my niece TRY to make a payment for me. They WOULD NOT ACCEPT A THIRD PARTY PAYMENT, wtf I only owed $18.00 and now MCM collection agency wants $195.71. You got to be frigging kidding me!!! You will never see me or the money I owed.

I placed an order with JCPenney on 7/10, received a shipping confirmation on 7/11 that my order shipped and I would receive on 7/13.

I called customer service at JCPenney and was told there was no way they could have shipped these items to me as they were out of stock.
I talked to a manager and told her that somehow JCPenney would need to get my items to me by 7/19 (which is well over the 3-5 shipping days they claimed I would receive by in the first place) and she told me I would have to reorder any items that I wanted and PAY for them again. She also said she doesn’t know where my shipment could be, all she knows is it was prepared for shipment on 7/12. When I pointed out that I received an email that they shipped on 7/11 and now I feel like someone is lying to me she said I can only tell you what the computer tells me. What a SCAM!!!

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

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

I purchased a Samsung refrigerator from JCPenney, they then ran a sale on the exact refrigerator that I purchased. I called within my 14 day window and was told that I would see the $400.00 refund on my credit card. It never was posted so I called back and was told to give it another couple days due to the 4th of July holiday. I called today 7-07-17 and now I am told that I am out of my 14 day refund window. How convenient. I then told them to return my refrigerator since I am within my 30 day return window and they want me to pay another 300 dollars for the return...
I told them I already paid for the refrigerator and to keep it out of that... The manager then stated that JCPenney would have to eat the whole cost of the appliance... SSSSSSOOOOO... Not my problem. He then stated I need to pay the return fee. I asked him how he became a manager since he is to stupid to take it out of my refund. DO NOT PURCHASE ANY APPLIANCE FROM JCPENNEY. IT IS A TOTALLY SEPARATE CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY ARE ALL IDIOTS. I spoke with three individuals including the manager and they are all INCOMPETENT IDIOTS.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

My experience has not been a pleasant one at all. The order was suppose to ship to my home but went to the store instead. Well half of the order did. I never received an email just a recorded phone call telling me it was there and would be returned if not picked up in 3 days. The other order the day after I placed it I received an email saying it was back ordered no way for me to cancel.
I have been on phone with JCP.com for 45 min. Waiting to speak to customer service I gave up and contacted store. When I called the store they have a ext. number for JCP.com but no one was there to answer. The associate who answered the phone said they are working shorthanded and there is no one for that position. The associate was the same person who I picked the first order up from yesterday. I asked yesterday about the other order. I asked if I could cancel since it was back ordered. She said no but that it would be returned if I did not pick it up when it arrived. When I spoke to her today she had to call and verify from someone else the package was not there. My card has been charged for both orders. This is my first and last purchase from JCP.com.

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

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

I and my partner wanted to make three separate transactions (we customers do this for a variety of reasons). Before he completed the second transaction, he told us in a very coarse voice that we needed to go back to end of the line for our third transaction. I said this was the first time I was being told to do this and whether JCPenney changed its policy on customer services and his response was "no".
But more important than this was the fact that he was absolutely uncaring to me as a customer. He treated me like a beggar waiting for a handout. I felt so humiliated in shopping at that store. I never expected to be treated by an associate like this ever and if I receive one more treatment like this, I will never want to go back to this store (#1982-8).

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

On May 22, 2017 I was in possession of 2 of the blinds. I called JCPenney 3 times wherein one customer service employee said she would look the matter up and call me back. I then called on another day to speak with Carmalita with whom (for some odd reason) I was disconnected. I called again and spoke with a supervisor who was very nice and said she would find out what happened with my order. To make a long story short, the blinds had never been "out for delivery." I was waiting for 3 additional blinds that would never be delivered.
JCPenney's solution was to refund my money for the 3 blinds that were never delivered. Really, so what am I supposed to do with 2 blinds that was coordinated with the other 3 blinds. They said it could possibly take 10 days for them to mail me a check for the refund of the 3 blinds. I inquired if I could return the other blinds and I did not get a response. However, I am going to return them because I can't use them. I am so disappointed with this transaction that I will never order anything from JCPenney again.

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

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

Then she mentioned that some of the items I ordered & paid for were in fact out of stock and I would not be receiving them at all! The worst part is since those 2 items were out of stock & they would be canceling those items, my order now did meet the criteria to use the coupon I used and I would be charged more for the items that they are shipping & still was not allowed to cancel the entire order because it "goes to the shipping department right away" even though that department said they would not actually ship anything for WEEKS!!!
When I asked how a company can make all these changes WITHOUT even notifying the customer after they already paid, she explained that JCPenney sees nothing wrong with that & they do this all the time!!

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

When trying to make an online purchase, none of the items matched the coupons available. There is always exceptions to every coupon and it's so frustrating!!! It says 20% off when using JCP card. Not always true. Your items must "qualify". Shopping at JCP never used to be this way. I will now shop at Kohls or other retailers that make the shopping experience much more enjoyable.

1st order a couple of days ago went fine online. 2nd order today was a nightmare. They offered a 30% off discount. Picked out the items I wanted, tried to get the total amount. Could not do that until I committed to the order. When I did the discount wasn't there. I immediately contacted customer service. They wouldn't give me the discount or let me cancel the order. These are my choices. I have to contact them 5/2 (today is 4/29) to give them my order number, to ask for my 30% off. I can't cancel the order or adjust it, because it went to shipping as soon as I placed it. I'll have to wait until the order arrives, get in my car and drive across town to return it. If I knew that after the 1st order all subsequent orders would be set up like a trap, it never would have happened. This store was part of my childhood. I am truly disappointed. I have been purchasing and selling online for 10+ years.

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

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

I purchased a recliner chair in June of 2015 to the tune of $900. At first, I liked it but then I noticed the reclining gear kept slipping and could not be tightened any longer. Finally 2 months ago (Feb. 2017) the right side of the chair broke completely. Their customer service is laughable. When I called to complain, I was told there was only a 1 year warranty on the product & sorry about my bad luck. They suggested that I contact the company who built the chair. So far, I've called 4 times and they keep telling me that someone will call me back but no one has yet. I am extremely frustrated & dissatisfied with this purchase. Any piece of furniture that cost this much should last longer than 1 1/2 years.
I tried to write a review and JCPenney pulled it saying it did not conform to their review standards. So I re-wrote the review carefully and once again, it was deemed unpublishable. Interesting thing though - the chair is no longer for sale anywhere on their website. Now, I am out $900 and have no recourse whatsoever. I will NOT shop at JCPenney's ever again.

Contacted JCP on 3/2/17. They IMMEDIATELY charged my debit card $125.00 for "restocking" fee and promised to make arrangements with delivery company to pick up item. Said it would take about 7 days.
After 12 days I contacted them again because I heard nothing from delivery company. This customer service rep told me previous rep had not even contacted delivery company. She then proceeded to tell me that she would arrange for UPS pickup and I should leave it outside my door! I repeated to her "IT'S A GLASS CURIO CABINET WITH SHELVES AND WEIGHS ABOUT 100 LBS!" She then said she would contact delivery company. Next day I find a UPS sticker on my door. I call again. No instructions on file to contact delivery company.
Now I move on to supervisor level. First supervisor promised to make things right and even said would try to get restocking fee refunded. More days go by... nothing. Call again. Supervisor 2 - same promises and once again NOTHING. Today I call and get "Manager" who said she talked to me before and that I should calm down because being belligerent wasn't helping. I guess she doesn't understand that right now I'm out almost $600 and almost a month has passed. I guess I should sound like Mary Sunshine?

They are very nonchalant about the ordeal. There is no consideration given to me as the consumer. I was just told that sometimes the delivery company does that. They were not willing to make an arrangement to give me the items I have purchased. JCPenney does not care about the consumer.

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

The experience has been so bad that you've burned me once, shame on you, but you won't burn me again! I bought several items and played the game, 2 rebates per item, and carefully sent them in, keeping copies. You got your originals and I got the copies. I got damaged boxes and no original receipts. Now you've invalidated them because I didn't send them in the mail with a postmark within 33 days (never did find that rule or directed by the CHAT person as to where it could be found) told "The system will not validate submission that have more than 33 days from the postmark date." "But we do have to follow the guidelines of the promotion." One item he said wasn't up for the promotion. That's funny because the sign sure said it was and I pulled the rebate form off the computer.
Consumer beware. Walk the other direction!!! Don't be tempted. I'll consider your store only as only a pathway into the mall. Their resolution - They were really sorry. They would validate the December 28th postmark (seeing is believing) but none from the January 12th. These were Black Fridays specials or maybe not a good special after all.

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

Then to add insult to injury I was told I could not cancel the order. I would have to return it after I get it.

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

I looked down at my ring and the stones that were replaced, (there were 4) are very dark in color. I almost thought the stones had fell out again, but after looking closer, I see they are just a darker color.
I have been OK with them just replacing the stones, but I am NOT OK with using stones of poor quality. I purchased the warranty for a reason. I have asked the last several times to for them to just buy it back. They always tell me that if it can be repaired that is what they will do. I'm unhappy with my ring now. I am thinking of purchasing a new one, but it will most definitely not be from JCPenney's.

She did not apologize for the incompetence of the stock still being out on the floor, she did not offer me any type of coupons to rectify the mistake, she did not even sympathize with the fact that my daughter's heart just got broken, she just said you cannot purchase it. I have never heard of an emergency recall on clothing and was disappointed in the manner that this was handled. I watched my daughter go from so excited to have finally found the perfect prom dress to this look of devastation in seconds.
Now I understand there are other dresses out there and a prom dress isn't life altering but to a teenage girl after trying on at least 100 dresses to finally finding that one... And then being told no. It is mood altering. The only recall I have found regarding the My Michelle dresses are from 2013... Is it possible the store never returned it back to the company and somehow it got pulled out into the stock this year. Who knows? All I know is that I will never shop at JCPenney's again. The incompetence and lack of communication at The Spanish Fort location is to blame.

Do not purchase ANYTHING from J.C. Penney that is for a rebate. You will never get it. I purchased a COOKS 3x1.5-qt. Triple Slow Cooker with Lid Rests. I purchased this item on Black Friday. 'Til this day they say they have not received a copy of my receipt, nor UPC code. I have confirmation through the USPS that the items I mailed off for my rebate arrived at their rebate center on NOVEMBER 28, 2016. Here it is 1/31/17 and the guy says they don't show anything. If I were you, I would not purchase a dog-gone thing from this store. They are scamming consumers by making them pay full price for the item. Go and buy the item from another store if you can help it. OH, by the way you can only email or chat with someone about your rebate. There is no phone number available.

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

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

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

We went to JCPenney on 1/19/2017 at Willowbrook Mall in Houston, TX to exchange them for a size smaller. We had the receipt, order confirmation, tags still on jeans and all paperwork etc.
Clerk told us to find the right size and go upstairs to customer service because the original order was made online. We found the exact same model number, brand etc and did so. My husband was told that he would have to pay an additional $27.00 and that Penny's would not do an exchange. He told them to credit my account and forget about us paying more for the same item just one size smaller. This was upsetting because the jeans were a gift and now my husband has no gift from me.

I bought a mattress at JCPenney in Frisco, TX on 8 Jan. 2017 amount $1693.48, about 3 miles from their Corporate HQ in Plano, TX. After buying the mattress I was told the mattress had to be made before it could be shipped to our home and that it should take around 7-10 days at the most. Well it's past that. The delivery service which is located in California said it would be another week because they were backlogged. I called Penney's 800 # and was on hold about 30 minutes. When the rep answered the phone she had a sour tone in her voice and it only went south from there. Needless to say she was no help.
After 3 attempts trying to call the store in Frisco I asked to speak with the manager. Of course he was not available. I had to speak with Brady who did not have a clue and worst he really didn't care about resolving my issue. I finally went to the store and actually got to speak with a real Asst. Manager. I told her my issue and of course she was no help. So I canceled my order, handed her my JCPenney cards and told her that if this was the service of the future I'd rather do without.
Bottom line do not buy a mattress from JCPenney or anything else for that matter. It's too difficult and someone will end up lying to you to get you to buy something. I went to Mattress Firm today. Got the same exact mattress for 10% under Penney's with free shipping and I will get it tomorrow.

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

This is my second experience like this one and my last. My last complaint went to Plano TX and did no good. I had ordered a winter coat and got the wrong size. I ordered a L and got a PM. I am not petite or medium so I returned the coat. There is no longer a catalog department. There is one register where one person is working. One person. The line for service was long, maybe 40 people. I stood in line while the clerk at the register helped each customer. One lady in desperation called out, "can't you call some help?" The clerk replied, "I'm not allowed".
One man got out of line and said he was going to find management. If it killed him someone would be held accountable. I think they killed him as he never returned, we all laughed about it. I was there an hour and ten minutes. Then the only clerk wanted to chit chat. I shut her up and said, "no, I want you to return this and hurry up... I don't want to talk about whether or anything else you have people in that line that have been there over an hour..." How dare her start chit chatting with me when she is obviously slow and intentionally stalling everyone perhaps to get even with her boss. Who knows. This was at the Battlefield Mall in Springfield MO. I will never enter the store again and will cancel my credit card with them on Tuesday. Today is Monday 1-16-17 and is MLK Day so I'm sure there is no one at the cancellation desk. I can bet on that. Anyway, I am through with this company.

He went to the store to buy them but they were not in stock so he went to the catalog department for help but I guess he was missing some information they needed, although he had a print out of the item from the online ad. He came home and said we had to order online. When I tried to order online it said the item was in stock and I was unable to order online because, although it gave me an option of picking the item up in the store or home delivery it never gave me a selection process to enable me to make the choice.
I was having such a difficult time I decided to call your 1-800 number. What a mistake!!! The lady who answered was super rude and said in a very condescending manner that if the store says they don't have them in stock they don't have them!!! Well excuse me. And she wouldn't hang up so although I had pressed 1 to take the survey I could not because she would not speak or hang up the phone and I waited about 10 or 15 minutes before I gave up and hung up.

I called the Men's department at the Riverdale Utah store. A very nice lady named Terry ** answered. (Thank goodness) Terry was amazing. She was kind enough to explain to me that even though it says In stock it means it is in stock in the warehouse not the store. (Don't know why the customer service Lady couldn't tell me this.) Also she walked me through ordering the pants online. We quickly found out that her order screen and mine were not the same. I still could not choose the option between home and store pick up. It was non-existent.
She suggested I come into the store and she would help me get the pants ordered. As I watched her place the order on the computer there was a part, after we added it to the bag, that her screens was different than mine. On her screen there was an option to choose between home and store delivery that actually worked and looked different. Terry helped us complete our order and explained everything along the way. We ended up buying two pairs of pants instead of just one.
I just had to write this letter to get recognition for Terry ** in the Men's Dept. of the Riverdale Utah store. What could have ended up being a disaster with bad feeling and negative concept of the JCPenney store, we came away as happy customers. Thank you Terry for saving the day. Also you might want to look into the online ordering as others may have experienced the same problem with delivery as I did. Additionally, when I order on-line it always pulls up a store many miles from my home even though I have repeatedly corrected this information.

My husband was not home as they had called to move delivery time earlier in the day. The delivery man walked in, looked at the existing refrigerator and told me it was a tight fit. Really??? We know this, BUT the new refrigerator is the exact same size. The delivery driver sort of measured our fridge and immediately told me the new one would not fit. I questioned him, so he said he would go measure the new one. He came back in and told me it measured too large for the space. He handed me a paper and told me I needed to refuse the refrigerator as it was too large.
After they left, I called my husband who told me that the new fridge was exactly the size as the old one. 35 3/4. After going back up to the store and explaining that the delivery driver incorrectly measured and we wanted them to bring it back, they advised they could not until the 11th. The appliance manager basically blamed me when speaking to my husband saying I said the new one would not fit. YES, I told him that only because his delivery person told me it wouldn't fit! The appliance manager said he would call to try and move delivery up, but he did not according to escalation department rep.

It was scheduled for delivery Saturday, 9/10. We received a call that Friday, that it could not be delivered Saturday but would be there 8:00-12:00 on Sunday.
We called J.C. Penney on Friday since it is a major inconvenience to have to wait an extra day without refrigeration. We were told they would do what they could to get it to us on Saturday (apparently at this time they could contact delivery people) or it would be at our house first thing Sunday morning. Never heard back from them again, so we Sat home and waited Saturday, no refrigerator. Sunday at 10:00 we called J.C. Penney again who assured us it was on the schedule for delivery. We also called the automated delivery number and it said it is on the schedule.
I called J.C. Penney at 12:00 and asked if my refrigerator was coming or not so I didn't waste the rest of my day and weekend waiting, and was told by a very pleasant J.C. Penney rep, I think her name was Ivory, I should call them on Monday to see if it would be delivered on Sunday. She "had no way to contact them." (But the rep the day prior could contact them?) Apparently she does not have driver's contact number because I was told the driver would call me a half hour prior so he must have a phone, therefore a contact phone number. I have a family of four to feed.
When my husband called the shipping company Monday morning, now three days after scheduled delivery date, he was told they don't know anything, he would have to call the warehouse that opens an hour and a half later. When he called the warehouse he was told, they don't know what happened. Horrible communication in a time of everyone having cell phones and computers that J.C. Penney customer service department cannot contact their delivery people. I told everyone that I bought this great refrigerator from J.C. Penney at a great price with no interest for 30 months.
The story changed completely over the weekend. When the refrigerator finally showed up it was dented. I accepted it with the option to return it or get "something off the price." They offered "$25.00 off" so it was returned. I scheduled the pickup of my old refrigerator with the delivery people the next day. I was again told by the J.C.

It was the most horrible experience and I would not recommend J.C. Penney delivery to anyone. To end the horrible experience I had to call three or four times to get a refund and the only reason I got it was because I charged on J.C.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Purchased online. Spent almost $1000 for a Samsung gas dryer plus matching pedestal. Also ordered installation and the dryer installation components. When the installer demo'd the newly installed dryer for my wife, she noted that smoke was emitting from the dryer. "That's normal", he replied. Fortunately, my wife noted that there was smoke coming from the dryer on the delivery ticket. Of the course, the dryer does not heat up and dry clothing. After 25 minutes on hold, I was told that this was Samsung's problem, not J.C. Penney's. Still waiting for Samsung to contact us. Have repeatedly contacted J.C.

We requested them to at least deliver the refrigerator but they cannot do it as everything is placed in one order. To get the fridge I should cancel the existing order and place a new order separately for washer, dryer and refrigerator. If I do I new order they said the delivery data will be on Dec 28th which is too far.
We didn't cancel the old one as it will take long time for delivery with a new order. I didn't get any call on Dec 22nd so called customer service again and they said your order was canceled from samsung side. No one informed about the cancellation either jc penny or samsung.

I ordered a dryer on December 12 with a delivery date of the 21st. I spent 3.5 hours on hold with customer service to verify orders and delivery only to talk with agents who were terribly rude but quite incompetent. When the delivery men brought my dryer, they refused to stack it because they came without the stacking kit that was ordered with it. So we temporarily denied the dryer due to an incomplete order. I have been on the phone for a total of another 3 hours today trying to get things straightened out, and as it turns out, apparently the store I ordered at ordered me the stacking *service* but not the actual kit.
I wound up having to order my stacking kit from another store entirely, which is promised to get to be in one day. So I called the Major Appliance helpline to get my dryer, which is still IN MY CITY at their warehouse, to get my dryer delivered the same night so I could benefit from the services I paid for, and they refuse to deliver to me any sooner than January 5! So that's another two weeks that I have to figure out a drying system in my house since it's too cold to hang them on a line outside. They are entirely unapologetic for the extreme inconvenience this has caused my family. The store will not even try to figure out a way to get me my dryer as it was their own screw-up that led to this debacle. This is my very first experience ordering anything from JCPenney or their Samsung affiliates and it will absolutely be my last time. I am completely appalled.

I went to my local JCPenney's store on Black Friday and purchased a washer/dryer combo, confirmed the delivery date and thought I was good to go. I checked my card account the same day and saw the pending transaction amount. No problems there. But then a few days later, the card company calls and says I have fraudulent activity on my account. My original transaction at JCPenney had disappeared and there were all of a sudden multiple transactions from JCPenney on my account. I came to find out that JCPenney had split my order up into multiple transactions for each item in the purchase (washer, dryer, hoses, vents, hookups, etc.). I've never heard of anyone doing that before (and my credit card company had never heard of it either)!
After hours on the phone clearing everything up with the card company and with JCPenney, my transactions were still declined and JCPenney demanded I use a different credit card. I gave them a different card and the exact same thing happened. Only this time when I tried to clear everything up with JCPenney, they passed me along to seven different representatives over the span of more than an hour and a half! Some representatives said, "Hold on one second while I look up your information" and then I was suddenly on hold for twenty minutes! Other representatives hung up on me after I had barely gotten out the words "hello".
One rep said that people were calling him left and right with this same issue because banks and credit card companies all over the country were flagging JCPenney money meddling as being some kind of fraud. He made it sound like it was the bank or card company's fault! Wrong, it’s JCPenney's ridiculous billing system that is at fault. If a customer makes a purchase of say, for example, $700 and their receipt at the store says $700, JCPenney should not be allowed to mess with the purchase and bill you separately for each item in your order. They claim it's because they order items through their online system. Well when I order multiple items on Amazon, it still shows up as ONE transaction on my account, so why can't JCPenney do the same?
To top it off, do you know what JCPenney told me when I brought this all to their attention? They said "Oh sir, you could have prevented all this by signing up for and using a JCPenney credit card." Oh really??? Well how come I have never had this problem before in my life at any other store?? I shouldn't have to 'prevent' anything! I am the customer and I am not here to accommodate a corporation. It is the responsibility of the corporation to accommodate me if they want my business!
And a final note, ALL of the customer service reps I spoke to told me how "stupid" they felt JCPenney's method of billing appliances is and how it should be changed. Hear that JCPenney? Even your own employees think you are a disgrace! At this point I would rather cancel my order and go to a Laundromat indefinitely than deal with this company ever again.

I ordered a total of 6 new appliances at the store during Black Friday month for a home we had just purchased. That transaction went well, but when the delivery date arrived, the appliances didn't, nor did I receive a call. I called the 1-800 number and was placed on hold for over an hour before a rep answered, then she put me on hold for another 20 minutes and then I was disconnected. She did call back about a half hour later, telling me that the appliances never left the warehouse and that the dryer was scheduled to be delivered on a different date than the rest of the order, which would be rescheduled two weeks later. I told her that I wanted all the appliances delivered on the same date and sooner, as we live 100 miles away and cannot move into the house until we have appliances.
She said she would work on this and call me back the next morning herself. I received a voicemail the next morning confirming a new delivery date and that appliances would be delivered together. I attributed this to some weather issues, but did not receive a call the day before the rescheduled delivery, so again I called the 1-800 number and AGAIN waited over an hour before someone responded. This person stated that the delivery showed as scheduled but that I should call the Call Center in the morning to verify.
I called when they opened the next morning and was on hold for about 45 minutes before I was told that I wasn't on the schedule! I was by this point furious and asked to speak with a supervisor. Again placed on hold for about a half hour, only to be told that there was a glitch that couldn't be resolved until the afternoon or maybe the next day, as they have no phone number for corporate offices and can only communicate via email! I learned that the call center is actually in Costa Rica, the corporate offices somewhere else and the delivery company of course being local.
I finally went into the store to talk to the young man who sold me the appliances and who offered to help. I asked to be called and speak directly with someone before scheduling again. While driving home about 10 minutes later I received a call saying that a delivery was set up for the next day, but learned that it was only for the dryer. I also finally received a call back from the call center supervisor who arranged with me for a delivery of ALL appliances in 3 days. I then called the local store, and asked him to verify this which he did. Now I can only hope that I get the phone call on the day before stating the time, and that all the appliances are delivered intact as scheduled.
In any case, I will NEVER order from them again, especially after reading others' stories which show these occurrences are not unusual nor have they been corrected. This experience has been very stressful and has used up HOURS of my time needlessly. The coordination between corporate offices, Penney's customer service, the call center and local delivery is a disaster. I have never seen such incompetence and doubt they will be in business much longer if this is how customers are treated. No respect for consumers!

After I said yes, she then started saying that we needed to go back to the original cashier and wait to see if she called us over.

She put me on hold for 28 more minutes trying to reach the Major Appliance department. I was disconnected after 58 minutes, and had to start all over. I have been on hold for 24 minutes again, and still haven't talked to anyone trying to get one of the charges taken off my account or getting appliances replaced. There is a reason this company was going out of business. HORRIBLE.

Ordered an item and decided immediately that I'd made an error, I should have ordered another size. Called customer service immediately, waited 25 minutes, was told "we can't cancel your order, you've missed the ***4 minute*** grace period (!!). But order the size you want and return the first item when it arrives for a full refund. We'll cover the return costs, just call." Called when I received the item, was told rudely that I "should have double checked my order" and that all returns are at my cost. Was told that I could return it to a store for free (30 miles from where I live), or pay the shipping costs. They didn't care that I was given false information. Didn't care that the 4-minute grace period means nothing when you wait 25 minutes for a customer service rep. Gratuitously rude. Terrible experience. Not buying from them again.

I ordered a coffee maker for my husband for Christmas. A few days after placing the order my husband comes walking into the house with the coffee maker as it was placed in-front on the door by the shipping service. The item was shipped without a protective box and shipping label stuck right on the coffee maker box. I called to complain about this and it was stated "Well how do we know it was a gift" and was told it is ok for me not to shop with JCP and hung up on. Of course I call back and not able to speak with the same person was told to bring it to the store and they will swap it out. If I was able to go to the store I would have done that in the first place. Also was given a $5 credit by making the second call. Still very dissatisfied.

I arrived at Penney's in Ann Arbor, Michigan this morning, two weeks before Christmas returning a space heater that was absolutely useless, to find the online return was in the Home Department on the second floor. I am carrying this big box across a cold and windy parking lot, across the store, up the escalator to the Home Department. There are two sales counters there but one sales person, working home and customer service for online orders. This is a good way to shut J.C. Penney down for good. I have always been a supporter of this company and actually have worked for J.C. Penney in the past. This type service is unacceptable and will keep me from doing business with them.

I have been a loyal JCP customer for years. I have a credit card through the company and I honestly did most of my Christmas shopping at the mall in JCP this year. On Black Friday, I happily ordered 10 items ($200 order) that were on sale. Within a week, I received two of those items. Then I received nothing else. I waited for an entire week before trying to call customer service and sat on hold for 20+ minutes before giving up. I scrolled through my email and found my order confirmation. I looked into the shipping information, but it was very difficult to understand. It said a lot about the order being transferred multiple times to different companies (UPS to USPS to JCP). Finally, I tried customer service again. 20+ minutes on hold before I gave up.
I finally called UPS who was kind enough to explain that they had tried to deliver my item and left a notice. I never received a notice. They said that I never picked up the item so they gave it to USPS. USPS apparently tried to deliver and left a note. I never received that notice either. My order was apparently at USPS. I was a little confused. Shouldn't JCP have emailed me and told me there was a problem delivering my order? As I worked on scheduling a redelivery, I desperately tried to contact JCP again, this time through Twitter. I messaged them on Twitter and their only way of helping me was to tell me that I had already received 3/4 of my items and that one item had been resent to JCP because I never went to the post office and picked it up. They could reorder it, but it wouldn't be at the Black Friday sale price. I said, "No, thank you." I was pretty upset about it.
I scheduled the redelivery and it never showed up... again. I finally went onto the confirmation email and checked tracking -- it said it had been delivered. I looked at every detail on that email and suddenly noticed something odd. The email said it was sending the package to the wrong address. Wait a second, what? I KNOW I ordered it to my address... This has happened once before. When I opened my credit card account, JCP sent my card to the wrong address. I never received notification about it. I had to call customer service and ask about where my card was a month after I had not received it; then they told me they sent it to the wrong address. They had never bothered to tell me that until I called. Finally they issued out a new card.
I was so confused that this had happened again. I now did not have my order -- I have no idea who has my order. I messaged them on Twitter. They never responded. I tried to email them but I couldn't find any way to do that. Their chat function was inoperable. It seemed JCP did NOT want to have to deal with my complaint; it seemed they had no interest in helping their customers at all. I contacted the Better Business Bureau, the company CEO, the facebook for JCP, the two twitter accounts, and anyone else I could find in the company that might be able to help me.
Suddenly, the twitter account @askjcp messaged me and offered to issue a full refund. I accepted it. She also said she could reorder the items for me at the same price and offer free same-day shipping. I declined that offer because I was sick of dealing with the company. I called the customer service number one more time. This time I pressed the button indicating I was placing an order. An agent immediately answered. I said, "Funny how an agent is available when I am offering money."
JCP is a joke of a business when it comes to online ordering. Their stores are great. But their online system is messed up; it is ridiculous that I have had to jump through these hoops for an order. And it is ridiculous that I never received it or even a genuine apology. In fact, when the facebook page finally responded, she told me that JCP didn't mess up the address. I simply told her I didn't appreciate being called a liar. My advice to others is this: don't order from JCP. They don't care about their customers. At all.

So I called them. The guy said there was no way to cancel it because it was being process. He said once I receive it I could return it for credit or replace it with another. I told him I had already ordered another pair I liked better. He then paused and said "I'm sorry we can't cancel it." I would have to ship it back by more shipping cost or to take it to a store.

What I received was a cheap 'patch-work throw' - UNBELIEVABLE. The packaging showed down blanket, but what was shipped was incorrect. So, I knew customer service would take care of this problem, right? WRONG! 1-800-322-1189 Spoke with an unknown individual who would only state she was JCPenney customer service agent. She would 'not assist' with placing the correct order, nor with the grievance. She told me I had to ship the order back and if the down-blanket was in stock it would be shipped at the amount it was priced today... Not happy.
Not only was the customer agent not supportive, but she told me I was not the only one who has a bad experience. Really? I'm a professional in my business and would never deliver this type of support to one of my customers. She then told me she would transfer me and the phone call disconnected. I had been waiting 32 minutes originally. I can honestly say that my JCPenney card of 26+ years has been cancelled today and I will NOT be shopping at JCPenney again.

I wear 40W/30L pants. I bought 11 pair of JC Penney pants, received by mail yesterday. 10 pair for shipment, bought 1 pair in the store, all were similarly mis-sized. The waist size on all of the pairs was maybe 35", varying by an inch or more depending on which pair of the 11 I was trying on. The rise (crotch to waist) varied so much that on a couple pair, I felt like I was wearing hip huggers. In short, NONE of the pants fit.
I have had this experience once before a couple of years ago, so I guess, from this final experience I will NOT shop Penney again for much of anything. If a company cannot, consistently, get even a waist size right, then there is SOMETHING wrong with the company, or they never provided their mfg plant with tape measures. And considering that these pants were priced at retail of $50, which was heavily discounted to around $15 on sale for the holidays. Had I paid FULL PRICE, I would be considerably more upset than I am.
Thank goodness I did not 'need' these pants for a particular occasion this week, but now I have to go to the mall, return the pants, complain to the "I could give a damn" employees, etc. I will have about $50/pair in time and grief invested in these pants. In fairness, I had a similar experience in sizing (amazing!) from both Dillard's and Kohl's, maybe they all buy from the same inept factory.

The store then ordered another green standard sham for me online.
Yesterday the package showed up, and I thought it was kind of big to be a sham. That's because it was a coat. With a sticker on it that said green sham. So today I had to go back to the store yet again, where everyone was amazed that I had received a coat and brought it back but no one bothered to apologize for all these trips back-and-forth. Once again they have ordered me a standard size Sham. I wonder what I'll get this time.

It was explained to me that items like shoes, you are buying directly from JCP, however with appliances I was apparently buying directly from Samsung? JCP is acting as a drop shipper here at best and they have no idea what is going on. There is a MASSIVE disconnect between JCP, the appliance manufacturer, and the delivery company and the customer is paying the price. I believe Amazon does a lot of drop shipping yet they have excellent customer service and keep the people paying them money up to date with order changes or revisions.
None of this buying from Samsung directly arrangement was explained to me when I gave money to JCP. Apparently "we" are waiting for Samsung to refund JCP so JCP can credit back my JCP credit card the $700ish for the appliance. Sad that JCP doesn't have the financial ability to refund/credit a customer's JCP credit card until it receives their cost back from Samsung. Meanwhile I am sure I am paying interest to JCP while waiting to be credited back this money.

I returned a pair of girls boots today 10/2016 @ prices corner store. Randy was the manager. After my granddaughter wore the boots I purchased they literally fell apart. When I returned them they took them with no problem. They didn't have her size to replace them but I didn't want them anyway if they would fall apart again. She has boots I purchased for her from JCP last year so I know it was these boots.
When I bought up a different pair with the same price the girl called randy again because I had used coupons & they were probably on sale. Now I would have to pay what these boots were less what I had paid. I happened to have a coupon & had to pay $3.00 no big deal but it was the principle of the whole transaction. I felt that they had to look up the boots. They could see all the purchases I had made. I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT YOU CAN CLOSE MY JCP CHARGE AS I WILL NEVER RETURN THERE. Thank you & have a good day.

Placed an order in the store with a customer service rep. Paid in person at the register and was provided a confirmation of purchase. I waited over a week for my order and decided to call the store to check the status of my order. The store had no record of my order anywhere, after waiting for some kind of information they gave me a 1-800 # to call for more information.
When I called the automated system advised me my order had been cancelled. So I had to speak with a live rep, because I DID NOT cancel my order. The rep came on the phone and stated that the order was, in fact, cancelled. When I asked why, she had to put me on hold to find out. Then she came back on the phone and said they were out of stock... okay? When were they going to inform me that I was not getting the order that I paid for? She said "we don't make contact with the customers." What kind of customer service doesn't make contact with their customers who are paying money for their merchandise? Once I asked her how I get my money back she said it was never charged to the card. It doesn't matter if it was charged or not, I should have been notified that I was not going to be getting my order. If I could put a negative star rating on this I would.

I applaud those stores that have decided not to open on Thanksgiving so their employees can spend Thanksgiving with their families. I have NEVER shopped on Thanksgiving and never will shop on that important family holiday. JC Penney and Macy's need to get on board and not open on Thanksgiving. I guarantee I won't be there if you are open and neither will any of my family members.

Recently I ordered a new mattress over the internet through JCPenney on my JCPenney card. When it arrived set it up on my bed. First night I slept on it it was very hard, wouldn't really know give. But I figured it was a new mattress, I give it a few nights to see if it broken. Here we are four nights later still just as hard as the first night.
Call JCPenney to find out what the return was on it. Was told yes, I could return it but there'd be a $125 restocking fee. Needless to say I declined that. I will chalk it up to a lesson learned, never buy a mattress over the internet. You can't lay on personally before you buy. As for JCPenney's return policy as far as I'm concerned they can have my JCPenney card back.

I ordered an item and the item delivered was not the one ordered although the invoice reflected the correct information. The order received was incorrect as to size, color, and style. I know mistakes are sometimes made with high volume transactions but this is not an isolated incident. It has happened to me on more than one occasions -- usually when I make use of discounts and coupons. I usually return the item and am given credit for my purchase but not my shipping cost. (I am happy to say the customer service rep I just spoke to has agreed to refund my shipping cost and send me a return label for my most recent incorrect order received.)
I am beginning to think that sale discounts and coupons offered to online customers are a scam since this usually occurs only when I make orders utilizing coupons and/or discounts. I have been a JC Penny customer for years and had stopped ordering online because of the problems I encounter with online orders. Unfortunately, the nearest JC Penney store was closed and it takes a while to drive to the next store. I have been reluctant to order from JC Penney online and I think this might be last time I do so.

At the store I ordered five blinds and then realized when I got home that I actually needed six. I ordered one more and was told I could not receive free delivery unless it was delivered to the store. I had it sent to the store and the associate assured me it would be 3 to 5 business days. After eight business days and no contact I went to the store and the blind had not arrived due to a flat tire on the delivery truck. The associate assured me that it would be delivered the next day - mind you this is a 40 minute drive each way to the store. My husband went the next day and it took them 30 minutes to find the order and they told him that they don't have delivery on Wednesdays. WOW this has taken a lot of time!
I called customer service and was pretty much told too bad and they could give me some points or free delivery on an upcoming order within 30 days of today. REALLY I just want the blind! Natasha **, hung up on me when I requested a supervisor and then I called back and talked to a supervisor whose name was Andrea and she could barely speak English. Basically no resolution. I will not order anything from JCP again and will tell my family and friends as well. So glad I wasted my precious time trying to take care of this. There is so much competition right now you should try to take care of your customers.

One by one, JC Penney has closed all their small, local stores. If I am going to go to a big mall, I am definitely not going to stop at JC Penney. I only went there because it was the only high end clothing available in a small town. Plus they used to have great coupons. Also beware: Although the clothing is better than Walmart, the jewelry is not. JC Penney jewelry is sub par and should not be considered fine jewelry. Over the years most of mine lost stones, broke, or is just not comparable to higher end jewelry. I don't shop here anymore. They closed most stores in WI except big malls. :((

I booked my outdoor session online with the knowledge that there was a $24.99 nonrefundable fee for Saturday 10/08. However if you are going to charge a customer you must ensure the photographer shows up. The experience left a very sour taste in my mouth. I received a phone call on Thursday 10/06 from Alexis the person that was going to do our session. She sounded in a hurry and asked me if she could reschedule my appointment until Sunday. This was a little inconvenience because I had to push some things around to make it happened. Regardless I agreed to change the appointment for Sunday at 12:30 p.m.
On Sunday at 12:35 she contacted me again to tell me that she wasn't going to make it because her car broke down and didn't know how long it was going to take to fix it so she needed to reschedule me again. I was extremely upset because first of all, our appointment was at 12:30 and she lives in Henderson. In what time machine was she going to make it from Henderson area to Lamb Floyd Park by Centennial side in Las Vegas area? So if you have an appointment with a client knowing the kind of traffic Vegas has with construction and all wouldn't you leave at least an hour prior to ensure your arrival time which leads me to believe that she would have known then her car wasn't working which could have contacted me prior to going through all the trouble of getting my daughters, husband, and myself ready for this.
It was an event that we were really looking forward too, since it was my youngest 1st birthday and we do not currently have any family professional photos. I tried to contact the studio to see if they could see us because again we were all dressed up and ready to go. Once again we were unsuccessful and couldn't be seen until 3:15 p.m. because of being booked already. The most upsetting part is the lack of customer service and professionalism to resolve the situation. I am out $24.99 plus my pictures. It was the perfect day weather-wise and it got ruined by an unprofessional, irresponsible photographer. It is a shame that the company employs people like that which leave customers feeling ripped off. I would definitely not recommend anyone to book an appointment with the outdoor portrait studio.

I ordered some dressers for my daughter's room. It would not work online (first clue) so I called and placed it over the phone. It came to more money than I thought so I waited to get an email receipt so I could break it down. Email never came. I called multiple times about the email the next day and still to this day never got an email (second clue). I ordered an Ashley dresser with a mirror and a baby hutch with a connecting chest underneath. The furniture arrived in a few weeks in boxes. When I got home and opened them it was the wrong dresser and the hutch was in pieces. The Ashley dresser and mirror did. It come. Called AGAIN. Told them they ordered me a chest that can't hold a hutch on top, hutch wasn't assembled and that I was missing two other items. I told them I'd keep the chest because I liked it but they need to return the hutch when the rest of my furniture arrives. The chest was double the price of the one I originally ordered.
Waited another two weeks for the dresser, finally had a delivery day and they called me that morning to tell me it was damaged and they wouldn't be delivering it (I was already charged $700 for it). CALLED AGAIN and they said they needed to reorder it all and start all over! I said to cancel it and refund my money and come get the hutch! Still no refund for the dresser and mirror that I never received and no refund for the hutch or a pickup. It's a HUGE box that I can't move and I call them literally every single day for the past month and I get nowhere!! I'm out $900 and I'm going to pursue legal action if it isn't settled this week!

On Sept. 30, 2016, I ordered a few items on JC Penney.com to be shipped to the store. The items stated online that they were In Stock and my order will be available in 4-7 business days. I have called numerous times to check on the order that still hasn't arrived, so today I was headed that way & decided to stop in and maybe the item would be there. After talking with one of the sales associates, I told her to cancel the order because they could not tell me when my items would be available. I told her I didn't want to wait any longer & would like my order refunded since it was paid online thru PayPal.
The total amt. was $19.83 with the shipping & tax. When the associate did the refund, it was refunded for only $15.88. I did not realize this till I was looking at the receipt, so I called the store back and wanted to find out why I wasn't refunded the full amt. Well, They forgot to refund the shipping & tax back, so now if I want that money refunded to me, I have to go back to that store in person to collect that money. I live pretty far from that store and do not get into town that often, so now I will have to go back.
This is not the first time that an order of mine has been screwed up, so now I learned and will never order or shop at JC Penney anymore. After speaking with a manager about this, she gave me her name & dept # and told me to call when I get in town again so we can straighten this out, she offered me a gift card for my inconvenience, but still will never shop or order from them again. When you pay an amt, you should get that same amt back without any hassle at all.
