I'm extremely angry regarding our experience with our refrigerator purchase. We purchased on 12/27 and still do not have our refrigerator. The delivery department showed up on the original ship date, came in our home and walked on our white carpet with wet, dirty boots. My husband was not home as they had called to move delivery time earlier in the day. The delivery man walked in, looked at the existing refrigerator and told me it was a tight fit. Really??? We know this, BUT the new refrigerator is the exact same size. The delivery driver sort of measured our fridge and immediately told me the new one would not fit. I questioned him, so he said he would go measure the new one. He came back in and told me it measured too large for the space. He handed me a paper and told me I needed to refuse the refrigerator as it was too large.
After they left, I called my husband who told me that the new fridge was exactly the size as the old one. 35 3/4. After going back up to the store and explaining that the delivery driver incorrectly measured and we wanted them to bring it back, they advised they could not until the 11th. The appliance manager basically blamed me when speaking to my husband saying I said the new one would not fit. YES, I told him that only because his delivery person told me it wouldn't fit! The appliance manager said he would call to try and move delivery up, but he did not according to escalation department rep. After speaking to multiple people, being lied to....we still have no fridge. It was supposed to be delivered today, but once again...lied to. They have no clue where our refrigerator even is. Do not purchase from this company! Horrible experience and we will never buy from JCPenney again.

I tried to place my order and when I got to my basket it kept prompting me to ship free to store. It would never let me complete and kept charging me shipping. So I took the chat offer and they told me my order must be over $25. Nothing had told that before and my order was $24.99. After this the site wouldn't let me empty my basket or get out of chat. It was a total deceptive advertising scheme which cost me at least 30 minutes of my time for nothing. I'm very unhappy with JCPenney and will ship elsewhere even if it is more money. Very poor.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Order was placed for Christmas gifts through JC Penney's online. A pair of men's jeans and a sweater both of which were in stock at the time of the order. The order was placed on Dec. 18th with an arrival date of 12/23/2016. The order is still not here and this is Dec. 26th. A p/c was placed to JCP and spoke with an obnoxious customer service Rep. named Sandy. After waiting on hold for 7 minutes to have the issue addressed, Sandy kept interrupting me so she could have her needs addressed. Needless to say, there was nothing resolved through this wasted contact. Another p/c was made and the order was canceled with a manager. DO NOT SHOP AT JC Penney's if you want customer service, it does not exist. I went online and placed an order with a more reputable company. Hopefully the order gets here.

We ordered Refrigerator, washer, and dryer (All samsung Brand) during thanks giving. When we were ordering it will be delivered by 4 December. Later on somebody called and told that there was a recall on the washer so samsung cannot deliver it on 22 Dec. 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. The customer service agent who talked to me was so rude. We moved to a new home and we didn't have a fridge in my home since 25 days. We are eating out since a month. This is insane.

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 ordered 2 comforter sets for my granddaughters with the understanding and written confirmation they would arrive before Christmas (Dec 21-23). I called twice to check on the order and both times had to wait for over 30 minutes. I finally got to speak with someone on the 2nd call and was told my order would arrive after Christmas (Dec 28 and 29). The representative told me to go buy something else and return the others for a refund. She couldn't care less. I asked to speak to a manager to file a complaint and was disconnected.
I then tried to go online and file a complaint; went through the process TWICE, hit submit and received a notification that the service was down. I have been a loyal JCP customer for YEARS and have a JCP credit card. However, the service has gone downhill so bad lately that I shop there less and less. In-store and online customer service is extremely lacking. I guess I WILL have to purchase another gift for my grandchildren since now they have nothing under the tree and I am left with 1 day to shop and fight the crowds. EXACTLY what I was trying to avoid.

We purchase a complete set of LG kitchen appliances (microwave, dishwasher, stove, and refrigerator) from Penney's the first week of November 2016. We were told it could not be delivered until December 22 (over six weeks from the purchase date). We agreed to wait even though our current dishwasher was broken. We never heard from Penney's again and then called on December 21 to ask about the delivery. They told us they had rescheduled it for December 28 thus ruining our holiday travel plans. If we had not called we would have never even heard about the reschedule.
In the meantime we had shopped at Sears and purchased a new clothes dryer. They delivered the next week without delay and told us exactly when they would be onsite to install the appliance. They called the day before and emailed us once during the week to remind us of the delivery. We went to Penney's to support their selling appliances again but would never go back and are trying to cancel the order so we can go to Sears to get the appliances. We will no longer shop at Penney's for anything and I would encourage others not to shop there either!!

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!

Ordered a Samsung WA48H7400 washer online because JCPenney had the best price - about $100 less than the competitors. Called first time to try changing the delivery time - waited 42 minutes and eventually the call was cut off. Called 2nd time - got someone after 30 minutes but he was useless and suggested I call in the morning. Called 3rd time the next morning - got someone after 48 minutes and she said they need minimum 4 business days for delivery and now we are only 3 days.
Washer was delivered today. When ran the quick cycle, lots of steam started to gather on the control panel and the machine was very noisy. Called Samsung and they said the machine needs to be replaced by the retailer. Called the 4th time - Got someone after 39 minutes. She left me on hold for about 20 minutes then the call got disconnected. She never called me back. I'm on hold now for 30 minutes. This time I'm just going to return the washer to JCPenney and buy from somewhere else. The price difference isn't worth the time I wasted on this. This is the most horrific customer service I ever experienced or to be more accurate, non-customer-service.

I shop on behalf of my mother so ordered something for my brother advertised as buy one get one free. I ordered one pair, paid way too much postage for the item, but did it. (I ship on a regular basis so know what postage should be for a less than 1 lb package). I received only 1, not the free one. Called customer service. Got a man who sounded totally disinterested and not at all courteous, this was after I waited on hold for 35 minutes! I told him I didn't get the free pair. He said I needed to order 2 and second would be free. Long exchange, but ultimately I asked him just to send me the 2nd pair. He said "Ma'am I can't send you something for free", to which I replied, "it was supposed to be free anyway!" He said, "Yeah, I'm getting a lot of calls like this today with the same complaint..." but offered no adjustment or any apparent concern for my complaint.
I asked to speak to a manager and he put me back into the same customer service hold for which I held on the line and waited 40 minutes until finally hanging up. So, I tried to chat on line - hour wait - for chat!!! So I wrote a letter, returned the item, for which I again paid postage (half of what they charged to ship to me, though).
End result - JCP will never get my business, my family's business, my friends' business! I am out $12 in shipping costs, but I have spread the word to EVERYONE that I can think of, so in the end, I assure you that JCP has lost and will continue to lose way more than my time and shipping money. I am not a JCP charge customer but have bought bedspreads, curtains, furniture, etc. there in the past - NEVER again!!! WORST SERVICE EVER!!! I am a Marketing person and know all the channels to spread the word of this horrible business practice and will do so at every opportunity. No wonder you have poor ratings!

I decide to buy some last minute Christmas gifts at JCPenney. A family of 5 were in line in front of me and one other customer, with one clerk open. Each of the 5 members of the family before me wanted to be rung up separately. Another clerk opened a register and asked the gal in front of us to step over to her line. As she got to the point of taking payment, and seeing the original clerk still had 3 more of the family members to ring up, we proceeded to the new clerk's line.
By now, multiple people were starting to head to the registers. The clerk stopped her transaction and started asking us if we were next. 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 was very loud in front of about 6 other customers and began to spout out that she wasn't going to help us because we came to her line before she decided if we could or not. My mouth must have dropped, as then she stated; "it is what it is and if you don't like it..."
Well, at this point I dropped the $180.00 worth of items I was buying on a table behind me. I asked another clerk to get a manager. The manager stated that's not something that clerk would do, and that she would personally ring me up if that would help. I told her no. I did not need belittled as I am almost 50 years old by a smart aleck 20 year old. I went and returned all the other items that I purchased from Penney's for Christmas.

Samsung said take 48 hours to process the cancellation of the order (which I have been told the same in previous calls ) and this goes on and on... Each time I had to wait at least 45-60 minutes too for someone to answer the phone. There is no one at JCPenney is accountable for their customer's purchase after they took your money.

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.

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.

He just wanted me to sign the paper but upon requesting multiple times, he finally unpacked the items. I was expecting to get 0% Apr but JCP CSR never told me that I needed to make more than $500 transaction. My total was $485 and I just missed the 0% financing. Neither JCP nor Synchrony bank helped me. Very much unsatisfied.

Buyer beware! I bought over $8,000 dollars' worth of blinds and the cord piece breaks in half. When it breaks in half you cannot raise the shades. I was told initially to tape it. This was very disappointing after 2 months of having it installed. 15 years ago I bought blinds from them without a problem. Now everything they seem to make for the windows are with cheap material.

I have attempted to pull up www.jcp.com on my desktop, laptop and iPhone internet to do some Christmas shopping. I repeatedly get an error msg denying access with a reference number. Friends and co-workers have also attempted on different computers and devices with the same result. I contacted JCP cust serv and spoke with Rita from Columbus, OH. She told me that I would have to have my internet provider remove the block from my phone. I mentioned the other computers and devices involved, she did not have an answer. I explained that I wanted to do some shopping and make a credit card payment but would not be able to. She just chuckled and did not seem to care that nothing was resolved.

I am a very frequent customer of JCP and I usually have no complaints. Today when I was shopping at your store in the Maine Mall in Portland Me, I had several items that I wanted to price check on your customer in-store scanner. I asked the gentleman in the shoe dept where it was located and he told me that they are broken and they weren't going to be fixed because kids keep playing with them. He said that a cashier could help me but that I would have to go to another department because the cashier in the shoe dept called out sick and there was nobody to replace her. HUH??
I was appalled at the customer service provided to me (or not provided) and I think it is ridiculous that the scanners do not work. As you of course know, many times the clearance prices are actually different than the price that is on the item, and I do not feel comfortable waiting in line for the cashier to check each item that I want to price check before purchasing. Needless to say, I walked out of the store without purchasing a thing.

On November 1, 2016 my husband and I went to JCPenney appliance department store #2804 to purchase washer/dryer set. All was well until we were informed that we could not use a debit card for the purchase, it had to be credit card. That was the explanation given to us after the card decline. It was then that appliance supervisor, Philip, suggested we put the money on a JCPenney gift card and use it as a credit card to complete the transaction.
We were then notified by the bank of suspicious activities. The account was charged 3 times in the amount of $1183.99, 1046.22 & 137.77. We were told by the sales rep that all 3 transactions were declined. Frustrated at the situation at hand, we told the sales rep to provide proof of voided transactions so that we can be on our way. The sales rep asked his supervisor, Philip, how to perform this function and Philip told him there was no way to print proof of voided transactions. With an elevated voice, I told Philip that I needed proof of a cancelled transaction. Once again, he stated that there was no way to provide proof. I walked away and called law enforcement to assist with rectifying the issue at hand after Philip told me that he was going to ask me to leave. The assistant manager, Senecia **, provided us proof of the voided transaction that Philip insisted he could not obtain.

My recent experience with JCPenney was a very unsatisfied one. The items I questioned were not put into the system to ring correctly. When I questioned this the employee called and asked the lead to check. He stated that he was in the department looking and then came back saying that the ones I had were excluded from the price. I paid and checked myself, and this was incorrect information so I proceeded to ask for this employee so I could discuss the matter and was treated very disrespectful and basically told too bad so I returned the merchandise and will not be ever going to this store again.

I ordered a washer and dryer during their labor day sale. The appliances arrived and as soon as the installers took the washer out of the truck we realized it was damaged so they put it right back on the truck. This was Sept 16th. Immediately after they left I went through 45 minutes of hold time on the phone to finally report the damage and ask when they would be sending a replacement. I was told it would be Sept 24th.
On Sept 23rd I called to ask what time they would be delivering as I had not received a call. I was advised it was not coming on the 24th any more and that it would instead be October 4th. I couldn't believe they didn't call to tell me. Frustrated I had already gone a week without a washer. I canceled the order that day. Today is October 24th and I still have not been refunded. Thankfully I used a JCPenney Credit card for this transaction, I would be livid if it took over a month to get my money back from them if I had paid cash or used a check card. Thankfully my wife and I were able to find a matching Samsung washer from Best Buy.
9/4 Ordered, 9/16 Delivered - Washer arrived damaged. 9/16 - Told New Delivery would be 9/24, 9/23 - Told New Delivery would now be 10/4 (I had to call to find this out). 9/23 - I canceled order and told 3-5 business days I would be refunded. 9/30 - Still no refund.

When talking with the JCP appliance rep on the phone I asked why I could return a pair of shoes the next day and get my money back right away, no need for (example) Nike to refund JC Penney and then JC Penney could refund me. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 have been a J.C. Penney customer for many years but must strongly recommend that you do not buy large appliances from them. Purchasing a kitchen suite of appliances several weeks ahead of time and scheduling delivery for September 30, I was confident of the service and delivery. On September 29th I did not receive a call of my delivery window but thought it might have been just an oversight. I had arranged to take off work to be home for delivery but no one ever showed on September 30 to deliver my appliances.
I started trying to find out about the delivery but immediately ran into difficulty. The local store where I purchased did not have their phone tree appropriately set up and I was automatically disconnected several times. The general service number about large appliances wasn't set up correctly either and again I was automatically disconnected after following the prompts. When I finally did get the local store, I was told that they only sold the appliances and Samsung did the deliveries. I was given a number that I could call but they did not offer to assist in any other way. I called the Samsung number and was greeted by an indifferent sounding employee who could not give me any information other than they would have to check and see why the appliances were not delivered and offered no apology for not contacting me.
Again, I was left to try calling the service numbers, getting hung up on, only to reach a person who could tell me only that it appeared that some of my appliances were on back order. They could not tell me when my delivery was rescheduled or provide any other information. I was informed they were only a call center that could receive calls but could not call me back when they found out additional information. I was offered to be placed on hold while they contacted Samsung but was told that it may take an hour or more.
On October 3, late in the afternoon I was finally called and told that my appliances would be delivered on November 1st - 32 days after the original delivery date. I asked for a copy of this information in writing but have yet to receive anything. I am dreading to think that on November 2nd I will have to go through this again, but this time have nothing in writing to back up my request.
I am angry, but not because my appliances were not delivered on the original date. I am angry due to the lack of communication and customer service. I have had to reach out repeatedly to find out information spending several hours on phone calls and emails, not to mention using 8 hours of vacation time because I was not notified of the delivery delay. As of this writing, no one from J.C. Penney or Samsung has apologized for not contacting me in an appropriate time frame or offered any compensation for their lack of service. It is truly sad to think I get better customer service on a $5 fast food order than I do for a $5000 order from J.C. Penney and Samsung.

I wouldn't give it even one star but I have no choice. I recently was in Delaware in Christiana Mall and I purchased a diamond ring from the modern bride collection and I also opened up a J.C.

After I left the mall, I was driving back home to New York and I noticed that a tiny diamond in the ring was missing. I called the store and they said that I could take it to my nearest J.C. Penney to have it looked at and fixed since I had bought the care plan for the ring. That sounded reasonable to me. I got back to New York and I went to the J.C. Penney in Roosevelt Field mall in Garden City, Long Island. The service I was received was so disgusting and rude. I wish I never even set foot into that store. They were refusing to do anything except send my ring out for repair.
The problem with that was that they were saying it would only take 2 weeks. But I did not have time for that. I needed the ring as soon as possible. I had a family event to go to that weekend. The jewelry supervisor, Dante, was so disgusting. I even called corporate and was telling them that they were not allowing for an exchange of the ring and corporate told them that they had to allow it since they had the same ring in their display case that I needed.

Every time I call the store to speak to her no one know who she is or even where she is. They won't let me speak to her basically. This store is shady and their policies are ridiculous.

They do not care about their customers. They are ridiculous and I want to see action taken on this matter. Do not shop here!!! DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS!! THEY ARE FRAUDS AND MAKE THEIR OWN POLICIES UP WITHOUT ANY PROOF AND ARE willing to go over corporate with their ** rules!!

On Aug. 25th I ordered 2 pairs of pants from JC Penney. On Aug. 26, 2016 I received an email stating that they ready for UPS pickup and a tracking number was provided. I waited a few days and checked the tracking number to find that UPS had delivered the package on May 6, 2015 to someone in Buffalo, NY. I live in Texas and didn't place the order until 8/26/2016. I contacted UPS, the obvious choice and was told that it was a recycled tracking number and that the pkg was never picked up from JC Penney which was why the tracking info only says ready to pick up.
I have called JC Penney at least 8X's by now (9/10/2016). The only explanation I get from them is that it's a recycled number, wait a few more days. I think 2 weeks is long enough to wait. I asked to speak with a supervisor about this order and was informed that the pants I ordered were unavailable and never shipped. How can you send a customer an email that says Good News, your order has shipped and give them a UPS number when the items are not available??
I then asked her about a refund for my order. She told me since I had used PayPal they were required to issue the refund to PayPal and it would take around a month for me to get a check from PayPal. I called PayPal and they have no record of JC Penney issuing them a refund for my order. I have created a dispute ticket with PayPal but Penney's hasn't responded to it. Like other people. I had to go out and buy what I needed so I am out double the money for it.

I purchased the Linden Street "Friday Collection" sofa and loveseat from the Roosevelt Field J.C. Penney Store in the fall of 2012. I do not have the paperwork but I paid for it with my J.C. Penney charge which I opened that day to take advantage of an extra discount for opening a charge. The main reason I bought this furniture was because it was not upholstered but came with custom slipcovers which looked like upholstery but could be removed to be cleaned and the big selling point in the ad, which is still running and I downloaded, was that you could change your decor simply by buying one of the many slipcovers that were offered with the furniture. To me this was why I purchased this furniture. I am a senior citizen on a fixed income and to be able to replace a slipcover instead of buying new furniture sounded excellent.
Since November of 2015 I have been trying to buy these slipcovers. I have driven to many J.C. Penney stores, called the customer complaint department untold times only to be told that they are sorry but there are no slipcovers for this furniture. I even wrote to the CEO of J.C. Penney, Marvin Ellison, return receipt requested. I got the postal receipt back so I know he got the letter but neither he nor a subordinate ever responded. I have copies of my letter, the postal receipt and a copy of the ad that the company ran saying that this was a great deal because you would not have to replace the furniture but just buy from the collection of slipcovers that were made specifically for this furniture "the Friday Collection"!
I need new slipcovers. I have had mine dry cleaned but there are stains that won't come out. I want to buy the new slipcovers that I was promised would be available at the time I bought my furniture. There is nothing wrong with the furniture itself. It is well built and solid and only 3 years old.J. C. Penney falsely advertised. I either want the custom slip covers, new furniture or my money back. This could be a class action lawsuit because if you google this furniture you will find a huge number of irate customers. Penney needs to make good on their promises. I am going to try to take them to small claims court in NY.

I have read their disclaimers on their coupons over and over. Never have I read anything that would not allow my purchases to qualify; however, I have NEVER been able to use any of their coupons for any purchase. I thought Kohl's was bad because hardly any of their purchases qualify for in-store pick-up, but I think J.C. Penney takes the cake on false advertisement. If you can't use a coupon, don't advertise them. They lure people in with the notion you're going to save money, but in reality you save nothing. This has been my experience as an online shopper.

I bought a sofa in 2013, after a couple of months it started to fall apart so I went back to the same store and bought a second sofa. The salesperson said the first sofa would be picked up when the second sofa was delivered. The second sofa was delivered and the first one was picked up. A little while later the second sofa started to fall apart so I called the company and told them it was falling apart and to come and get it. It was picked up in Oct of 2015. There was a credit to my account for a portion of the second sofa, minus delivery fees and the payments that had already been paid to the account. The first sofa has never been credited back to my account.
I call every week trying to get this straighten out but they have the worst system, you never talk to the same person. Now the credit card company is calling me asking me to pay my bill, which I don't owe. I am now having to hire an attorney to get them to refund my money from the first sofa in 2013. Be careful if buying from these people. If I ran my business like they do I'd be out of business!

I have usually been happy with my purchases from J C Penney but after this last experience I doubt I will order from them again. I ordered 3 sets of towels, 3 different sheet sets and a pair of shorts. I paid for them using PayPal. When the order was delivered I received the shorts, the 3 sets of different sheets but no towels. I also received an additional 3 sets of sheets that I did not order. Each package of incorrect sheets had a shipping label stuck on them referring to them as the towel sets I ordered.
I called Penney's to get this resolved. I spoke with a rep that informed me I would have to reorder the towels and return the sheets and would receive a credit to my account once the sheets were received. I am not sure if I would be credited the amount for the towels I did not receive or for the sheets I didn't order. I was told I could just take them to Penney's. I said this was not acceptable as I didn't have time to do this. That is why I order online. I asked that they arrange to have UPS pick them up. The rep told me he could send me a UPS label but I would still have to take it to UPS. I asked to speak to a supervisor. I spoke with a supervisor who said he would arrange to have UPS pick them up but they would have to charge a credit card to have the towels shipped.
I was frustrated as I had already paid for them and could not understand why I should have to pay again. He told me that they would issue a credit to PayPal but had to charge a credit card to ship the towels, even though I had already paid for them. Though not happy about this, I agreed. I saw the charge hit my credit card quickly but did not see a credit to PayPal. After a few days I called again. I spoke with a different rep this time who told me to be patient - the credit would show up. She did notice that I had only been issued a credit for 1 set of sheets, not 3. She said she would issue a credit for the additional amount.
I again asked to speak with a supervisor as I now have a charge for the sheets on my credit card and have already paid for them with PayPal and still had not seen any type of credit or confirmation from Penney's that a credit had actually been issued. As it seems it was not credited correctly, I have serious doubts as to what I will receive if anything. The supervisor told me that I would not receive a credit to PayPal but a check from Penney's instead. I was assured the first check is in the mail and a second one would be soon. I don't know that I can believe any of this. I guess I will have to wait a couple of weeks to see.
In the meantime, I have to pay my credit card bill with the charge for the sheets and I have already paid with PayPal so as far as I am concerned I have had to pay twice with the promise of a credit. The total cost for the towels was $104.97 so I have now paid that twice. I told the supervisor "I guess I would have to wait to see if I get the refund, but I am not happy at all with all the mistakes made and I doubt I will shop at Penney's again." I was told she was sorry to hear that but she hoped I would reconsider. Not sure why I would. I don't need this aggravation and the time it has taken me on the phone to resolve. I have many other places I can order from and would hope that they would have a smoother way to handle mistakes.

He said "let me look...oh yes the you did pay on time but our system did not recognize so we charged you a late payment." I screamed and said "what?"

I place an order with JC Penneys for school uniforms. As always, when my order came they sent me the wrong merchandise. I called customer service and advised that I was going to return the items to the store but that I wanted to reorder in the correct size. When they attempted to reorder they told me my card was declined. Hmph... no it should not be because my card previous to my order had a zero balance. Follow me... credit limit - $500... beginning balance:0, initial charge: $386.02, I returned $127.17 in merchandise and attempted to reorder $86.00 in merchandise - it rejected my card.
I called customer service who told me that there was another charge for 259.95 on my account which took it over the limit. I informed her that I had not made any additional charges and that they were fraudulent. After going back and forth the rude, nasty cs rep transferred me to the auditing department, who then transferred me back to card services. After speaking with card services I was told that the additional charges were in error and that she would notate the system, for me to return to the store and give the sales associate my card so she can call them back to reverse the charges.
I immediately return to the store and the sales rep calls. She was passed from card services to payroll, to point of sale department, back to online customer service department, back to card services then back to the catalog department. No one but card services could see the charges and everyone in customer service gave me every excuse as to why the charges were valid. Finally one rep tells the sales associate that I had numerous items in my shoping cart and that they automatically charge your card $1.00 for every item you leave in your cart without your approval.
I was at JC Penneys from 5:30 until 9:30pm with no resolution. Today I pulled my statement and found these $1.00 charges as well as having been billed twice for merchandise after Penneys CS rep lies and says that they do not bill you $1.00 without your authorization. When you call their Corporate office the phone rings with no answer. I will NEVER use this card again and feel that every consumer needs to know about their billing practices. The sales rep was wonderful as she stayed to help me. She also kept notes because she was so upset with the level of service I received.

I will absolutely never put another dime into J.C. Penney. I have never had issues like this before with anyone! I placed a $1,200 order on 7/20 it took until the 22nd to process. Tracking numbers started being sent to my email. Then all of my items are being shipped separately which would be fine but there was absolutely no way to tell what was coming on what shipment. I am unsatisfied with the products I received. My very expensive silverware set came individually wrapped - not in manufacturer box but wrapped in bubble wrap and in a shipping box! My knife block from Oceanstar is supposed to be flat black - no it's graphite metallic silver which is not even an option on the website. I ordered a Croscill comfort set with matching valances and drapes.
I have received the drapes and valances but my comforter is nowhere to be found and it's now the 29th. The shipping label has been created for that package but no one knows how to get in touch with where is supposed to be shipping from. I have spoken with many different customer service reps who have told me multiple different things. One rep asked me what my tracking numbers were and what items were on it...another rep has advised me to cancel my order and reorder. I did speak with one rep who was just as confused on what was going on and had no clue what had been shipped, what had not been but she did at least make a support ticket and noted all the items I am missing and someone should call me "soon". "How soon" I asked - "maybe next week sometime".
I spoke to another rep again today to check on my support ticket. She did the same spill. She thinks it's been shipped, I know it hasn't. I'm asked what the tracking number is and "oh" again stumped on my order. So I'm waiting on 3 items to ship and no one can figure out what the items are or how to get them to me - even though I keep telling them what the items are and that they are obviously at a warehouse waiting to be picked up. So this has been very unpleasant. I am very disappointed. I will not be shopping through J.C. Penney again.

This review is for a specific JC Penney store. Located at Tiffany Springs Market, in N Kansas City Mo. I have NEVER been treated so rudely than I was that evening at any J C Penney store. I am a retired penny's associate and had received a email alerting me to the asso. sale, and when it would be. I arrived, and was greeted at the door by, I assume, a manager. She said the store was closed. I showed her my circular and informed her that I was there for the asso. sale. Very rudely, I was told the store was closed and that I had all day to shop. I showed her where the circular stated that it was after the store closing. She still argued with me. Again I pointed out what it stated, she replied, "well I need to go ask my manager". She returned and asked me for my asso. card and another form of ID. Again taking my cards, locking the door and leaving me outside.
I have never felt so unfairly and rudely dealt with in my whole 66 years of living. She returned and said "fine, you may come in". I stated that I had a relative with me, she said, "well she can't buy anything". I told her, "I am aware of the policies of penny's". She was not going to let her in. I told my relative that she could not come in and she said fine, that she would wait outside for me.
At that moment, I didn't want to go in but I did. I was walking down the aisle, and heard someone say my name, turned around and saw my relative inside. I said, "so they let you in?" She said yes, but again very rudely, she said, "you cannot buy anything". WOW! I started looking around, and found that I needed a cart because I was there for a bed comforter. So I went to find a cart, and when I was headed back, my relative was walking toward me and I said, "what's up". She said that she had an employee approach her and asked her who she was, and who was she there with. She told her. The employee said, "well you know, you cannot buy anything", very rudely to her. She said "yes, I do know that".
So at that point, we both had been humiliated enough. She said "let's go". I had no problem with that. We went back up front, put the cart away, and left. I will never go to that J C Penney store again in life! I wished that I would have gotten the name of the asso. that approached me at the door. I believe that she was one of the managers in the store. I told her that I had 17 yrs. with Penney's and asked how many she had, and she said, I believe 39. That still not give her the right to treat anyone the way we were treated. Done, with Tiffany Springs Market J C Penney! DONE.

I needed some clothes for travel in 3.5 weeks; I have a budget for the clothes I need. I have never shopped online at jcpenney.com before, and I never will again. I placed an order in the middle of the night (1:45 PST). I realized shortly after I submitted the order that I had forgot to check the material in a blouse I ordered (I bought 3 colors of the same blouse). It was polyester; I can't wear polyester. "No problem," I thought, "I'll just cancel it." PROBLEM: Penney's does not offer the option to cancel an order online. Admittedly, the error in the order was mine, but I would expect to be able to cancel an online order shortly after placing it. (I order at Amazon.com all the time and can cancel an order online within a short period of time.)
I stayed up until 4:00 AM PST to call Penney's when they opened at 7:00 AM EST to cancel the order. I called when they opened. Sorry, too late! They could not cancel the order; so, bottom line, I had no option/opportunity to cancel. I spoke to a supervisor who admitted they have had people unhappy with the inability to cancel orders. Absolutely unacceptable! (The supervisor was very nice and promised to escalate my complaint.) Penney's has also charged my credit card even though they have not shipped the order yet. (Also, something Amazon would not do.)
So I get to wait for the order to ship, receive it in the mail, take it back to a store to return the items, and then wait for the money to get back on my card... All the while Penney's has my money. I can't order more clothes... Remember, I'm on a budget... Until I get the money back... My trips is 3.5 weeks. All of this would ave been easily solved had I had the option to cancel the order online within the first hour or so after placing the order. Amazon here I come! I've learned my lesson.

One of the diamonds fell out. I took it in & my hubby hadn't purchased a warranty & I had 60 days to return it. For sentimental reasons I had the jewelry counter get an estimate to fix it. The estimate came back that it needed retipped & all kinds of other repairs. I asked if this was a used ring as my wedding ring over 25 years old only needed retipped at 20 years. This ring was worn for 5 days. Customer service no help. They told me to call the store manager. Again passing the buck. I even asked if I paid for all the repairs could I get a warranty on this ring because odds are it's not going to hold up. Buyer beware.

I have ordered through JCP numerous times over the last few years and never really had any significant problems. However, in the situation which I am about to disclose, it shows a company which made a packing error followed by a credit refund error that continues with excuses why they cannot perform the service of applying a simple credit to an account when they have been in possession of that proof for several weeks.
On 06/01/16, I went to JC Penney to return 2 items. The first item showed a credit on my account, where the second did not. On 06/06/16, the credit was still not processed, so I sent a dispute email. I’ve never really had good service when sending emails, but wanted to make sure there was a record so sending the email was a viable option. I then went to the JC Penney store in St. Joseph, MO and the associate was very helpful and found the problem for me. Upon looking at the packing slip and credit receipt, she found the merchandise (Eastland shoes) was sent to me with the wrong packing slip enclosed. When the refund was originally processed on 06/01/16, the refund went to another customer's account who was listed on the incorrect packing slip. She called JCP.COM and attempted to take care of it for me at that time.
When on the phone, she gave them the information from both the incorrect customer packing slip and the credit receipt my refund was issued to. They also spoke with me to verify the information. By the end of the call, they said it would require further investigation and would take 30 days to complete the investigation. Since this time, I have received one postal letter requesting a detailed explanation of what the problem was along with proof to back it up. That leads me to believe they put no faith in their own customer service representatives or the computer programs they use since they were in possession of the order numbers from the phone call made on 06/06/15. However, I did provide all they requested in detail and they have been in possession of it for approximately two weeks from this date.
The packing slip clearly indicates the incorrect name, address but the same type of purchase. The differences between the two items were the color (brown vs black), shoe size (8 vs 7 ½), both towns in the same state, but spelled differently, and then the fact both customer names had absolutely no similarity at all. I'm not sure how much more obvious it can be. They have possessed the information for approximately two weeks, I have received 2 emailed letters stating they are looking into the dispute. The only credit my account contains is a .52 dispute credit that was issued on 06/06/16. Their 30-day deadline is soon approaching, but since no letter has been sent to explain the credit will be issued, including the interest it has accrued during this process, I believe they are continuing to delay what should have been dealt with upon receipt of the requested proof.

I can completely understand why these stores are closing at a record number. The lack of customer care with this company is unreal. From employees to supervisors you are lied to, belittled, hung up on, yelled at, and treated with complete disrespect. I have been a Penney's customer for probably 35 years. Stopping in the store now and then, especially at Christmas, to see what they had. I injured myself pretty badly, couldn't drive, so I decided to order online from them. HUGE mistake.
My order of 4 items arrived. They sent me a men's shirt, which I did not order, with a tag on it that said ''6 Piece Towel Set'' and my last name. That has to be a bright shipper. So I called CS who reordered the items for me (which means until you get THEIR mistake back to them, you are double charged in your bank) and said they would send me a label. No sorry, no nothing. Just crap business as usual with this rotten company.
I realized once I got off the phone with her that she overcharged me on the reorders. Back on the phone I went and talked to Tina for 40 minutes. She ASSURED me, several times, that I would be charged the correct amount. ''Trust me, honey, I'm 55 years old, I don't lie to people.'' Hey Tina? You're a LIAR! $86 was charged to my account by JcThieves and $80 credited. I know they don't hire the brightest of people, but 80, is less than 86. So now I get to pay more, because of their mistake. Perfect.
Today I get the corrected order and the return label. Only problem is the return label, is addressed to me. On the ''TO:'' part they put my name and address. DRUG TEST YOUR EMPLOYEES! Seriously, you have one employee that thinks a 6-piece towel set looks like a man's shirt, and another one who put the customers address on the return label as who to send it to. WOW.
So I took to Twitter, Mark wasted 25 minutes of my time, had me scurrying all over the place to get my customer number and my invoice number and my order number etc etc, and then told me he couldn't help me, and to call. Great. Perfect. Wonderful. Back to the phones. Fifteen minute wait times. When someone finally answered I asked the woman who answered in Customer Service to transfer me to a Supervisor. She transferred me to an employee, who spoke Spanish. You guys really can't get anything right, can you?!?
When I finally got a hold of a Supervisor, she was rude, unhelpful, and ended up hanging up on me. JcPenney? You hire ghetto rats to talk to your customers. The job market is tough right now, YOU CAN DO BETTER! I had to call back again, another 12 minute wait time, and the RUDE supervisor I spoke to this time said they refunded me back the correct amount. I can see my bank account online, NO. YOU. DIDN'T!
They all wanted my order numbers and my invoice numbers. I'm so appreciative of the extra work you gave me, for your mistake. YOU have my account right in front of you, but hey, sit there on your lazy butt and require the information from the customer, who you've sent the wrong products to. I'm sending EVERYTHING back. The items Penney's messed up on, and everything else I ordered. I do not want to do business with a company that hires this many lying, inept employees.
More than likely in the next 2-4 years JcPenney will be out of business for good. And then good luck to their HORRID Customer Service department getting jobs anywhere other than a Dairy Queen. I've made my very last purchase at JcPenney. Between your overpriced old lady clothes and your embarrassingly bad Customer Service I've had enough.

Please teach your cashiers specially who worked at 7 pm at the customer service in the back of your store in Garden State Mall to be polite with the customers. If they have to ask for an ID of the customer who is using a credit card their attitude has to be polite and especially using the word PLEASE which doesn't exist in their vocabulary. I am also a cashier and I am sure that I would be fired at the moment if I would behave like the two cashiers in your store behaved. They have to learn that there is a customer in front of them and not a kid or a thief.

Today, 6/23/16, I receive a snail mail correspondence from JCP to inform me that JCP is "unable to meet our commitment to ship all of the item on your order, the only item was the Nunn Bush shoes."
I called customer service and informed the representative that I have been checking daily the order status and it remains with an expected delivery of 6/24. I also informed rep it says on the notice to notify customer and has my correct mobile phone #, I have received no calls. The rep states "these thing happen," not the answer I was looking for.

Bought expensive home window coverings and received significant rewards as well as 1 year no interest terms after I got a Penney's card and paid half down. Received statement from Penney and there was NO indication about interest free terms. Just total amount due. I called (so called) customer service and was put through to accounts receivable. They told me the amount I HAD to pay, which was interest free on only HALF of my purchase. I argued but got nowhere. I also got nowhere at the store itself. They said corporate had control.
Now for the (so called) rewards. First I was told they would expire, then I was told they would not. I called customer service multiple times and got multiple answers. I talked to the person in the decorations department where I bought the window coverings and got DIFFERENT answers. Then I got multiple emails every day trying to sell me more overpriced Penney's items. Each email had a rewards balance. The balance would bounce between 0 and 15, with NO rewards being used. Then, when I went to the store and confirmed I had 11 rewards (3 about to expire) I used 3 rewards. I did not use any other rewards. A few days later one email said I had 12 rewards left, then beginning the next day I started getting emails that said I had 0 rewards left.
Calls to reward's customer service were useless. Each time I called I was given a different number for my rewards balance. Once I have paid off my card balance and spent my remaining rewards (if they are honored) I will never deal with JC Penney again and I recommend others be aware and cautious and DO NOT TRUST Penney.

After being a customer for nearly 15 years I will NEVER purchase furniture from J.C. Penney again. After visiting a store on April 19th in an attempt to purchase patio furniture (which they display in store even though it is not available, but that is another complaint) I was told by an associate that if I ordered that day I would have it before I needed it on May 1st. I went home and placed the order online and received a confirmation email stating I would be contacted for delivery (which I paid an additional $50 for) by April 29th. I started calling on the 28th because we were cutting it close and was told by 2 different associates that I would have it in time. Finally a third associate (who is either the only honest person or the only one who knows how to do their job) told me that I would not have it because it takes 3-4 weeks for delivery.
At that time I asked for the order to be canceled and to be issued a refund so I could purchase elsewhere, and I was told that I could not even do that until I was contacted for delivery. So we never had a set for the event we purchased it for. Finally on May 18th my furniture was delivered. 3 boxes left on my front porch (why they needed to be delivered and couldn't be shipped when they come to disassembled in boxes, I don't know). After waiting a month to receive the order I was incredibly frustrated to find that I DID NOT receive what I purchased. Instead of the bench two chairs and table that I purchased as a set I received two benches and a table. I immediately contacted customer service only to be told there was nothing they could do except re-order the chairs and re-charge me for them and I would have to wait another 3 to 4 weeks to receive them.
My calls have now been escalated to their support team three times without a response from them. I still do not have what I purchased and I have a large box with something I did not purchase sitting on my front porch... Oh and today I was informed that if I remove the box before it is picked up I will be charged for it. J.C. PENNEY FURNITURE HAS THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH. It has been over a month, I still have no resolution, I still do not have my order, but they sure took my money again.

I purchased a swivel glider for the nursery of my first child based on the description/picture on their website. It was exactly what I wanted a light neutral color. It took forever for the chair to arrive after I had to arrange delivery with a separate company. The chair was ordered on 4/13 and was not delivered until 5/10! When the chair arrived at my house it looked nothing like the picture on the website! It looked like a burlap sack, same material and color. This was not at all what was described. I called not 20 min after the chair was delivered to arrange the return. My credit card was charged a $125 restocking fee before they would arrange for someone to pick up this chair and was told I would be contacted in 7 days by a moving company to pick it up.
9 days later I called customer service back and was informed by a "supervisor" that the number needed for the delivery company was never sent! She assured me that she was doing it right then add I would hear back in 2 business days. Well on the third day I had to call them back again. This time they said, "Oh let me contact the delivery company for you" which I had been told wasn't possible on the last phone call. She then informed me that I would receive a call in 24 hours to arrange pick up. I was also told that they can't refund my $125 restocking fee because I was unhappy with the chair, despite the fact that the picture and description were not accurate. I also was told that as soon as the chair was picked up I could call and receive my original purchase amount back.
2 days later I called the delivery company myself after contacting J.C. Penney AGAIN. The pick up was scheduled for the next day, went off without a hitch, the chair is gone! So I call J.C. Penney again to get my money back and was told by this guy that they can't credit me until the chair is back in their warehouse! So it is now 5/27 and I have no hope of getting my money back or the restocking fee! DO NOT DO ANY ORDERING FROM J.C. Penney. If you can't carry it out of the store don't buy it!

I was NOT told how long delivery would take. The lady who waited on me also DID NOT advise me of the fact that a "standard" charge did not include set-up. Apparently there are two levels of delivery fees - one merely covers transportation and the other includes transportation and set-up. My daughter and former husband set up my bed. This company has no middle management, which means there is no communication, no instruction to employees, and certainly no efficient service. Do not make the mistake of buying anything from this company that cannot be carried out of the store. There are too many efficient furniture stores that will do a far better and fairer job of serving customers.

After 14 days of not receiving the slip covers, I logged into my PayPal account only to be informed that the order was cancelled. Apparently, the color I chose was out of stock. J.C. Penney didn't have the courtesy to notify me that the order was out of stock or that it had been cancelled. I would have selected another color if they had given me the chance. No worries, Target has what I need. For a company fighting to remain in business, one would think they'd take a look with improving their customer service.

I purchased a dishwasher at J.C. Penney after hearing their campaign to generate an expanding appliance sales department. I purchased professional installation as an added cost due to plumbing and electrical requirements. Upon delivery, the technician declared that it would be impossible to install the dishwasher as promised in the bill of sale. He said the new power cord was too short to reach the existing electrical outlet. He made this assessment without ever removing the existing dishwasher or even attempting to install the new cord. After the technicians left we had a professional electrician install a longer electrical cord to the new dishwasher (believing that the JC Penney technician was correct).
I hired a professional plumber who told me that the cord originally purchased from JC Penney was sufficiently long enough to reach the electrical outlet and that the JC Penney technician was either lazy or incompetent and that he simply didn't want to install the dishwasher. The total cost of purchasing an additional power cord and hiring an electrician and a plumber was over twice the amount that I paid JC Penney, believing that they were capable of installing their product. JC Penney has (or says they will) reimburse me for the installation fee I paid them, but not for the extra costs incurred because of their failure to live up to their agreement. I recommend that you purchase your appliances from another retailer!!!

I have been a customer of J.C. Penney for years. I placed an order on JCP.com from the Sportsfanshop on 4/1/2016 for 2 Alabama Crimson Tide T-Shirts.

I received an email on 4/8/2016 at 11:07 pm informing me that my order was cancelled and I received no prior warning to why my order was cancelled. I called JCP.com on 4/9/2016 @ 7 am to get more insight on why my order was cancelled.
The customer service rep really couldn't explain so I asked to speak with her supervisor whose name was Pepper and she began to look at the order and couldn't find out what was going on so she noted my account about this problem and she said that she was going to put an email out to corporate about this problem and was told to call back on Monday 4/10/2016 to see if I could get more insight on the problem. Well I did get more insight after a few tries with customer service and to find out that the SKU number on the product didn't match which had nothing to do with me on my end so I asked why was I not notified of this problem and didn't get an answer. My problem is when you order a product you should be notified within 2 days if the order is not going to go through.
I ended up calling the Fanatics Shop on my own and found out they had the items in stock and they didn't understand what in the world JCP.com did. I should be compensated with something since I had to reorder the product and the reason I placed the order so soon because I know it can take some time if they don't have the product in stock and I know it is bad business not to communicate with a customer about an order that was placed through their company. I hate not to shop with J.C. Penney but this can not continue to go on! I ended reordering my product again and could not speed up the process. Why should I have to pay for something that I didn't do or is not my fault? I finally got my product on 4/15/2016 and I am so disgusted with this matter. I have felt betrayed by JCP because they have poor customer service of knowing their products. It is just sad!!

So I immediately call customer care, but they were closed for the day. I live in PST Zone, so now I'm a little confuse because I knew the funds was available in my account.
The very next morning I'm reviewing my bank account and I see that I've 2 overdraft fees adding up to $75.00 and that's more than what my order was. So I contact my bank and found out that my bank blocked my bank card due to suspicious credit card activity. My bank stated that J C Penney's ran my bank card 3 times for a zero dollar amount, and then they ran it the fourth time for the dollar amount of my purchase, which was $56.37 and that's when my bank blocked my card, due this suspicious activity.
Now due to my card being blocked I had 1 automatic payment coming out of my account, which my bank paid but charged me the fee of $37.50, then Uber had to force charged my card for their fee, and that may my bank charge me another overdraft fee of $37.50. I called J C Penney's and told them what had taken place. I was transfer from one person to the next.
Finally I spoke with a representative that took the information and told me that they would do an investigation and contact me back. I waited 72 hours and no one contacted me back, so I call them back and got a rep that told me that there was no ticket create regarding this matter. So I was told again that they would create a ticket and look into this matter and someone would definitely contact me back. Well that didn't happen. I've spoken with at least 10 different people that works for J C Penney's, from customer care, customer relations to the corporate office, and still no resolution.
I have been told so many different stories and lies, so I finally got some in customer relations name Robert. He told me to fax in my bank statement and he would review my statement. So my question to him was that can he send me something in writing to state that upon receiving my fax that J C Penney's would reimburse me the fees I was charged by my bank due to them blocking my card because of the suspicious activity of J C Penney's running my bank card so many times. He told me he would email a statement asking for me to fax in my bank statement, but he will not put in there that J C Penney's would reimburse any fees. So my only option is to pursue legal action, where J C Penney's will have to do a full and thorough investigation that I'm sure will cost them more than the $75.00 I was asking to be reimburse me.

I spent approx $150 dollars in a sale to buy 3 new vanity mirrors to be sent to my builder 350 miles away to install. The description was clear "from their website": distressed silver-bead inlay, black frame, can be hung vertically or horizontally, mounting hardware included, 21x31", imported. Within 1 minute of placing the order online I received the PayPal receipt and I noticed it said "black mirror with gold bead edging". I immediately phoned customer service at JCP's. They said the description they had was correct and could NOT change the order NOR could they verify it with the manufacturer as the order was already with the manufacturer! So this means basically they have no lines of communication with their manufacturers to stop an order once it's processed or even ask a question! They suggested I await the delivery of the purchase.
So the mirrors came (in good time), the builder opened them and of course they were all gold bead edged. Frankly, there is little point in returning them - I phoned customer service as other reviewers have done. It was going to cost me return money and time and effort and the items are with my builder at the final stages of the house. I am going to spray the offending gold out with silver (good job I can do it - many could not) and will not purchase from JCP again. JCP were told their mirror description was incorrect but it still shows the same. As others have said, they don't appear to care. I agree with others, Kohl's is far better run. Returns are easy, product selection and quality pretty good.

My recent experience with J.C. Penney was so bewildering and horrendous that if others are having similar issues as mine (which based on reading other reviews I think so), I honestly do not believe this company will exist much longer. It is a shame, because I have been coming to J.C. Penney with my mother since I was a little kid - now I am in my thirties. My husband and I recently attempted to purchase a sofa on the J.C. Penney website. After scouring the internet for sofas, this was literally the only one that would fit in the room. We placed the order, received a confirmation email/order #, and then waited. And waited. And waited. And checked the order status and nothing was there. Called JCP, was transferred to about 6 different reps, all told me different things (order didn't exist/order still processing/can't find order/etc.) despite the fact I had a confirmation and order #.
I was told they would put in a "case", gave me a "case number", and told someone would call me back within 48 hours. Never got a call back. After 72 hours, I called them. Got the same old runaround. I decided to wait 2 weeks and see if it "processes". 2 weeks later I get an email that the order did not go through and to call to place the order again. The next day, I call, place the order over the phone with a rep. Once again, received confirmation email and order #. Now given the first runaround, I'm a little skeptical so decide to check on the status of my order a day later just to make sure it is in the system. Once again, order is not in the system. Call JCP back, transferred to numerous sales reps who have absolutely no clue why the order # is not in the system. It simply does not exist. At this point, it is kind of hilarious because I'm putting an obscene amount of effort into spending a few grand on a purchase...and CAN'T!
Ironically, the reps were so nonchalant about the whole thing, no one seemed to really care that I was placing these orders, getting confirmations, and the orders did not exist. Based on this whole nightmare, I'm glad that the orders didn't go through because I don't want to waste another minute of my time with this company and will put my business elsewhere. Clearly, JCP is mismanaged and systems are failing. I can't even be mad at the reps because they were as helpless and baffled as I. I DON'T KNOW WHO IS RUNNING THIS SHIP, BUT IT IS SINKING FAST.

On Oct 31st I brought my engagement ring to J.C. Penney to be serviced. I never received a call when it was done. I went in November to check and see and they could not find it. They were going to call be back. 2 wks went by and I had to call them. Days later they told me it was lost. They filed a claim with the insurance. They will only give me $2500 for my ring. The original value is $3607.00 before any discounts. That's what I want for it. I think that is more than fair. I have made several calls trying to have the store manager, Kelly, help me contact Corporate and she does not return my calls.

I placed an order on JCP.com almost 3 weeks ago and I was told my order would be shipped to my local J.C. Penney's store in 5-7 days. I called many times to check on my order and after weeks of waiting I was told that they should all be in my local store. Today I went to the store to pick up my order and the associate handed me 1 item and when I told her there were 3 items in my order she got really rude and went to the back room to check. She came out with 1 more item and told me that my 3rd item never came in and that I had to call customer service to get my refund on the 3rd item I never received.
The items I ordered were marked down so I asked for a price adjustment and she said "no we don't do price adjustments for online orders." I have gotten many price adjustments before for my online orders with no problem. I spent 20 minutes on the phone with the customer service department while they contacted my local store to get my account refunded. I will never shop at this store again.

I ordered a few items for my daughter on December 23, to be shipped to our closest store, which is about a 25 min. drive for me. Waited and waited for confirmation that it was there. Nothing. I called the 800 # provided on the customer service page. The person who answered was not very personable, kind of rude, and basically told me to wait until I got an Email confirmation that my order was at the store. I called back a few weeks later, same, but this person was more personable. A few weeks ago I was at the store anyway, decided to check. They pulled up my order, basically told me that since it had been so long, probably my items weren't available, sorry. They bordered on rudeness. If the items I ordered suddenly weren't available, shouldn't they have notified me??
About 4 days ago I missed a call from JCP, wondering if I was going to be picking my order up?? When I tried to return the call from my call log, it went right to our local store, where of course there's no selection for the .com desk, so I had to go through hoops to get to the right department. They answered, said they were too busy to look up my order, could they take my phone number and call me back. I left my phone number. They never called. I got someone to answer today, a day later, and they cannot find a package for me.
After the call ended I re-listened to the voicemail. Decided to call the store back to let them know the name of the person who left the voicemail. Went through the hoops again to get to the .com desk. Held, held. Someone from a different department answered and said the .com employees were too busy to answer my call, could they take my number and have them call me back. I am done with jcpenney.com.

I ordered a sleeper sofa on January 9, 2016. We were told it would be delivered in 4-6 weeks (that would put delivery the latest, the last week of February). We have company coming the beginning of March so we were ok with that time frame (a long time but settled). The couch was a "special order" due to upgrading of the mattress and I had to give a deposit. I called the number provided from J.C. Penney to follow up on delivery on three separate occasions. This past Monday I called, they stated the first week of March but I could call back on Friday to see if the status changed. I called back Friday and they then gave me a date of March 18 it would be ready to go out for delivery (at this point my company would have been already gone). I then asked them to cancel my order, that I would have to go to another store to purchase a sleeper sofa. They told me I had to go to the store to cancel the order.
I went into the store at the Broward Mall to cancel. They refused to give me my deposit and told me when the company calls for delivery that I need to refuse delivery I would be charged and then reimbursed. At this point I have to call my credit card company to refuse the charge because I'm not sure they will reimburse me or for the full amount. I went to City Furniture, purchased a sleeper sofa with the upgraded memory foam mattress and it was delivered the next day. I am not sure why J.C. Penney has such an issue with the mattress.
I will not buy from J.C. Penney Furniture again. The final ship out date was 10 weeks from purchase date. Very frustrating experience. The saleswoman at the store assures me that I should have gone back into the store sooner and that they could have moved the date up. She also said at the time of purchase that it should not take 6 weeks but they have to give the longer time frame just in case. So why was it now taking 10 weeks? I am not sure she could have done a thing about moving the date sooner if she couldn't in the first place. She also refused to return my deposit. We did not get what we were purchasing! The wait time for calling the representatives was average 15 min each time, even if the automated message said 4 min.

Family room furniture was purchased 12/31/2011, anticipating the good faith brand of JC Penney. 2 couches and 1 recliner purchased with full 5 year warranty, delivered on January 10, 2012. Extremely poor workmanship, recliner frame repaired within 2 years - repairs made. All three pieces have nails through in between arms and cushions, shredding any hand that tries to retrieve remotes, phones or anything dropped in between the seat and cushions. Couch springs sprung in 2013 but warranty company would not repair as the coils did not penetrate through the fabric.
Last week the recliner frame broke again. According to the warranty it states that furniture cannot be returned after 30 days and refunds cannot be made. We are left with inferior products without recourse for quality furniture. We have been and continue to be extremely dissatisfied with this furniture. I believe that we should receive a full refund of $2,647.96 to purchase a new set elsewhere.

I received dinnerware for a Christmas present this year. They were too heavy for me to handle. 2 boxes and 8 soup bowls which turned out to be serving bowls. It's the thought that counts. Needless to say I needed my husband's help to return these items. They were unopened and still had the sticker showing the date they were purchased. When I went to return them all I asked for was a gift card. I still needed soup bowls. What I received was a print out that stated. "You will not be able to make returns or exchanges for a period of 180 days on any non receipted items."
I asked why did I receive this and I was told because of all my returns. I have never returned anything to J.C. Penney! I did not ask for the cash. I asked for a gift card. If it was cash I might be able to understand but needless to say I contacted the 3rd party company called The Retail Equation (TRE). They told me this was JC Penney policy. I had to file online to see my returns, again now I am thinking who has my information such as my driver's license number. I just got the report back. I have 1 return, yes 1 and it's for the dishes!

Both orders have been incomplete and when I asked to be made whole they claim that they have to return the credit in whole and I would have to repurchase everything. The problem is that credit to the account is not instant and they do not take Paypal in-stores where they claim is the easiest way to return items. Sure they will return it back to Paypal, that does not credit right away so then I am forced to pay with a different form of payment or I leave with nothing. So in the end I lose out.

After many years of satisfied service w/ JCP, on 12/26/15, I made an internet purchase of 3 Euro pillows and 3 Euro Shams. Order total including S&H and tax = $115.64. Without email or other notice to me, 2 Euro shams were not available and my account was credited for the 2 Euro shams. 1 Euro sham and 3 Euro pillows were mailed to me (a resulting impossible purchase. I cannot use 2 euro pillows w/out shams). On 12/31/15 I called 1-800-322-1189, spoke with 'Ruth', inquired re the order and learned my account was credited for 2 shams ($45.13). On 01/04/16 I returned the entire partial order received (3 Euro pillows and 1 sham) to the Sacramento JCP Arden Way store (everything in its original packaging). There, the receiving clerk didn't know how to handle the sham, so she called 1-800-322-1189 for advice. And she only credited me for the 3 Euro pillows ($44.25).
After the clerk spoke with Customer Service at this number, I too, called and spoke with 'Dashay' while still in the Customer Service Counter area, because while I had returned everything received, the amount credited was short from the original charges. Ticket case # ** was opened. Dashay told me the concern would be resolved within one week. Realizing I left the store w/out a receipt for the returned sham (even though the receiving clerk spent a LOT of time on the phone with Customer Service seeking guidance as to how to process the returned sham), on 01/05/16, I called 1-800-422-1178 again and spoke with 'Brittany' to check on the status of the opened ticket. Brittany turned my call over to a supervisor (name unknown) who assured me she would note on my open ticket that the sham was returned, too.
On 01/29/16, I called 1-800-422-1178 and spoke w/ Erica. After being on hold for about 45" total (Erica would intermittently tell me she was still waiting for a supervisor). After refusing to be on hold any longer I asked Erica for the name of her supervisor, many times she said she didn't know her supervisor's name, then gave me the name Crystal ** and disconnected my call! Today, my Visa shows a credit for $3.38. After deducting S&H from the original charges of $115.64, my total refund amount should total $106.69. However I've only received $92.76 total.
The funds shortage is not larger concern. The inept, rude, dismissive and disinterested treatment I've received throughout this entire order process is inexcusable. 1) Initial partial order sent (Really??? Who can use 3 pillows and 1 sham?), 2) the friendly, yet inept Customer Service at the Arden Mall counter, and 3) the polite yet dismissive to extremely rude and disrespectful Customer Service Reps at the 1-800-422-1178 number, 4) the complete lack of respect for my time as I've worked to resolve this concern.

In actuality it was supposed to be $55. I called customer service, got the rebates phone number, they looked up our rebates input, and the supervisor confirmed with me that the proper amount would be given but to allow 7-10 business days...
So what happens next? I receive a $10 Visa card in the mail! No changes were made. Supervisor falsified her adjusted amount when I spoke to her. I now have reported my J.C. Penney purchase with Capital One and will remain at it until the proper rebate amount is given with no runaround!

My wife bought a ring from JCPenney's along with the lifetime care plan. When the lifetime care plan was purchase the salesperson clearly stated the not to worry if diamond falls out it will be replaced free of charge. Well she put this plan to the test. Here is what she experienced. When the ring came back from the company that performs the repairs there is a note that the ring could not be repaired to buy the customer out. It was the center stone, the largest on the ring that fell out. The prongs were not broken and ring was not damaged so she was surprised the ring came back not fixed.
The jewelry manager informed my wife "the warranty company that backs the lifetime care plan has the right to buy you out if they feel it is not cost effective to repair the ring." So here is what that means. If you purchased a $3000 ring on sale for $700 and if it costs more to replace the diamond than what you paid for the ring they do not fix the ring and only offer to give you back the cost of the ring. It does not matter that you cannot replace the ring for $700 you originally paid. The jewelry told my wife she should have read the lifetime care plan more carefully. Beware that the 10% of the rings value that you spend on the lifetime care plan is not purchasing you what the salesperson is telling you.

I ordered a hair straightener on Black Friday, received a different one from what I ordered. I called customer service and was told I needed to purchase another one in order to reorder. I was unhappy about that but did it because I wanted my purchase. Once again I received something other than my order. I called again and was told someone would contact me and didn't hear from anyone. I called again and was told my original order was in transit, that was a lie. I have never yet received my purchase from Black Friday. I will never shop at J.C. PENNEY again!

Placed several orders with J. C. Penney on 12/8, 12/11, 12/12. There was no status on one of my orders for two weeks so I called customer service on two different occasions. Ignorant, uneducated people who have no right to be talking to customers. J. C. Penney really scrapes the bottom of the barrel when hiring customer service people. I was told my order was "stuck" in Nevada and I should just cancel the order, so I did. Won't be ordering from J. C. Penney again.

J.C. Penney advertised 30% off entire internet order. I had tried over and over, to do it on the internet, wasting a lot of time. I called them on phone. Representative could not figure it out either. Again wasted a lot of time. It turns out she finally figured it out. The coffee pot was excluded from this offer. Nowhere in the ad were there any exclusions mentioned. I will never trust Penney again. Probably shop at Walmart. They never pulled that on me.

I went to the store to pick up the item and they could not locate it and asked if they could call me when they find the item. A week later I went online to check the status of the item after not receiving it and it was marked as customer picked up. I called the customer service help line and they asked me to call the store and find out what is going on. I don't understand why I have to waste my time on a simple order (1 item) and call all over the place. The customer service should be able to help me with this and not push me off to the next person. Very, very poor service in this day of customer service oriented business.

Shopping for a toaster oven to give as gift 12/20/15. Had coupon for $10 off $10 or more and $10 bonus cash. Waited on line at least 30 mins.

On December 19th I went shopping to JCPenney in Baychester Avenue in the Bronx. When I was getting ready to pay my purchases, I was encounter with a very disrespectful and unprofessional employee by the name of Alvin (associate number **). I explained to him that my cell phone didn't have no signal, and if he could give the $10.00 discount. He was so busy chatting with his coworker, that he ignored me. My husband was with me and tells Alvin, "are you going to help us or you here to chat?" At this moment Alvin got very angry and said he was no 5 yrs old, and old folks need to respect him. I was getting worried since my husband just this past Monday had a mild stroke and it was recommended by his doctors for him not to get agitated.
and I felt very disrespected and intimidated by this young man. Any sales person should be properly trained on customer service, and explained that customer is always right but most importantly never ever to threaten a customer.

I placed an order on Black Friday through jcp.com and part of the order did not arrive. Apparently the order was cancelled and I was never even informed. It has been almost a month and my money has not been reimbursed to my account. I phoned several times and was hung up on three times. Various customers service reps gave me different information so I had no clue who to believe. I was told I would have my money in 2 days by Pamela in Milwaukee. It has not shown up on my account then I was told by Antonnette in Wisconsin that it actually take 5 business days. I am out one of my husband's Christmas presents and my niece's present as well as $50 bucks at this point and it is only days before Christmas. I was also told by a snotty representative named Sierra (Ciara) in Columbus that it was no wonder I'd been hung up on then as she was transferring me (to the wrong department - most likely on purpose) she mumbled "**".
I have shopped JCPenney's since I was a child and shop their online Black Friday sales every year! I WILL NOT GO THROUGH THIS NIGHTMARE AGAIN. $50 may not seem like a lot of money to JCPenney's but to people like me who live paycheck to paycheck, a $50 shortage right before Christmas is a really big deal. Beware before you give this company your online business.

Placed an order on 11/30/15 for Christmas gifts. Received 3 items on 12/16/15. The 2 remaining items were back ordered on 12/2/15 and I received 3 different emails pushing the shipment date back. The new shipment date is "expected" to be 12/27/15, but not expected to receive items until after the new years! Corporate told me the item is available right now in the store. However I would have to pay full price and they would not honor the online sale, even though I already ordered this items online and have been waiting for them. I understand that inventory is low due to the holiday, but customers should be notified of this, prior to purchasing an item; especially around the holidays. Their website is still saying that the 2 items I ordered are available for delivery. VERY DECEIVING TO CUSTOMERS!!
I know that consumer affairs and Jcpenney corporate over do not care about the customer or doing right by the customer. So I do not expect anything to come from this review other than advising the people who keep these stores running to shop at a better business. I recently spoke to Torchee employee id ** from customer service whom disregarded my question and also with Cheryl from the corporate office. NEVER WILL I SHOP ONLINE OR IN-STORE AT JCPENNEY AGAIN. I have also left negative survey's on the unprofessionalism of their call rep and have not received a call back asking why I felt this way or what they could assist me with. That right there says they have NO concern for their customers!!

On a recent shopping trip for the holidays I purchased two men's shirts. After paying for items I was told there were no boxes. Really? A huge company has no boxes before Christmas. No wonder people are going to Walmart and the like -- one does not expect boxes from discount stores. Checked with another local Penney's and the same "No boxes in the entire store". Changing my mind about your company. In the future I will check at any department store where I am shopping if they have boxes. If not I will take my business elsewhere.

My husband and I purchased a bedroom set at a really great price on clearance. We ordered a dresser, 2 side tables, and a bed frame from JC Penney and then a mattress from Sears. When we got the furniture, I was about to put it together but something just wasn't right. We were missing the rails for the bed... Not a big deal right? Called JC Penney's customer service (time #1) and they put in the order and said it'll be about a week. This is where it gets crazy. The only thing we can think of is that the driver didn't see the rails on his truck until the end of the day because he called us to let us know he'll be delivering the rails the next day. We thought these were the rails that we called customer service about. Great! We received the rails 3 days later and when I was trying to put the bed together, we were missing hardware. Really??
Not a big deal. We were missing 14 bolts of 2 types and 28 washers of 2 types. Kind of important to put it together! Great, so I call JC Penney customer service (Time #2) and stay on hold for 45 min. I was very patient with the lady but she wasn't very nice about it all. After asking how long we'd have to wait for this hardware to come, she said they would send it USPS. Thanks for answering the question?? 5 days later, we receive the hardware. Great! But it's what we already have... No bolts and no washers. Thanks JC Penney! My husband called them once again, (3rd times a charm??) with the intention of talking to a manager but once again no apologies, they would send them within the next 5 days.
At this point I'm getting a bit irritated. We get a call at some point from this delivery driver saying that he'll be delivering our rails tomorrow. Rails? We already have the rails. We need the correct hardware! The delivery driver told us that he would still deliver the rails and we can decide what we want to do with it... What?? We get the rails the next day because the day they said they were coming, they were behind schedule and wouldn't make it. Fine. Whatever. We open the box that says it's been "inspected" and the hardware is STILL the same as what we already have. So now we have 3 packets of hardware that don't have what we need. COME ON!!
At this point I'm ready to chew someone out. I sat on hold for an hour (5th time) and finally get through to someone. He wrote down the exact measurements of the pieces we needed. Not that this will matter because apparently they can't do anything right! He only apologized once and sounded like he absolutely hated his job. But when I got off the phone and started to discuss with my husband how we're just wasting our breath at this point and we need to just go to Home Depot to get it ourselves. Honestly we SHOULDN'T HAVE TO.
JC Penney needs to get their act together and get things right. When they deliver this hardware for the 5th time, if it's not right, I will again call their ** and will ask for our money back. This is ridiculous and I do not recommend buying anything from them. The product is great and we're very excited after purchasing our own damn hardware that we can finally have a bed. If you love the product, buy it somewhere else or expect horrible customer and delivery service.

I ordered an electric blanket as a Christmas present. I received a shipping confirmation estimating the delivery date as 12/18/15. Exactly 5 minutes after placing the order, I received an email stating there "has been a change in availability" and the product is not in stock at all. The new estimated delivery date would be 1/11/16, if at all. Mind you, my PayPal account has already been charged. Even so, I was forced to cancel the order to find a gift that I could give in time for Christmas. The absolute worst part? JC Penney did NOT take the item off of their website. It STILL says available with an estimated shipping date of 12/18/15.
Finally, the customer service rep who cancelled my order was extremely rude. She must hate working for such a deceitful company. No apology. I asked her to file a complaint and the line went silent. "ANYTHING ELSE I can do for you ma'am?" No more JC PENNEY for this consumer. I stopped shopping there in the 90s for a reason, I guess.

I ordered a box spring and mattress set on 11-14-2014 from jcpenney.com. After waiting Until 11-23-2015, I called the customer service number 800-322-1189. Talked to Mario and was transferred to Sophia. This was the wrong department, was transferred to Claudene, wrong department then was transferred to Emiley in the corporate office in Columbus OH for online services, because my credit card was charged on 11-19-2015 but the product didn't leave the manufacture until 11-23-2014, needless to say I was upset to be billed for something that wasn't made yet. Emiley did credit my credit card for 15% off due to the inconvenience, I was grateful for her actions and was told that if anything else was wrong to call back and anyone in corporate could help me.
In addition to all of this, prior to talking to Emily I was directed by JC Penney Customer Care in Milwaukee/furniture to call the trucking company myself and set up delivery date on 11-23-2015, I did, nobody answered the phone. On 11-24-2015, I tried to call the trucking company again, no answer. Then on 12-1-2015 the trucking company called to deliver the box spring and mattress set, delivery date was for 12-10-2015 , when the product arrived there was, what appeared to be a grease spot on the mattress and a hole in the mattress. Needless to say I refused the shipment.
After calling JCPenney Corporate I was told that they could not help me and I needed to call customer care in Milwaukee for furniture regarding this, I was told by Alicia in Milwaukee that an RA number must be made and it will take up to 5 business days to complete, then a credit will be issued within 30 days. Trouble with this is, I do not carry a balance on my credit card, so in a nutshell I'm done with JC Penney, my purchase has been paid in full to my credit card company, no mattress set, and no credit for 30 days. So I have nothing for my $300.00+ purchase. "Really" is this how we do business now??

I went to JCPenney on December 8, 2015 to return a pair of jeans Levi's and I went up to the jewelry counter and the young woman that was there by the name of Cristal. She asked me if I had a receipt and I said "No," but that I had bought the jeans about the first of the year but the tags were on jeans. She just needed to look on my card. She went back only 30 days. She told me since I didn't have a receipt she was going to put it on a gift card and I told her "No, put it on my JCPenney card." I told her "I have never had a problem returning anything back and putting it back on my card." So I ask for the manager and she call the manager and I do not know what the manager told her.
Anyway she tried running my card thru the machine and for some reason it wouldn't go thru and ran my driver license thru the machine. So Cristal left and not once did I notice that this young lady was upset or that I had said something to her. I stood there waiting on the manager and talking to another associate by the name of Anna and she was saying that she was going to apply at Bealls store because she wasn't happy working at JCPenny anymore. I asked her "Why?" She said "Jesse is not here anymore and the store manager that is here, is bad." I said "Wow." Well guess what? I found out how bad she is and her name is Jessica! Jessica is coming up to me with her phone in her hand and is telling me that is calling the Hobbs Police Department because she has a associate that is upset in the back.
I look at her and said "What?" So I told her I am calling Corporate and I walk out of the store and go to the nail salon where I had my appointment and sitting there calling Corporate office for JCPenney. Well guess what? The mother of the young woman comes up to me and is telling me all kind of stuff when it was none of her business and I am looking at her like "Really?".
I am still on the phone waiting for someone to talk to from Corporate. Then the Police walk up to me and ask me what is going on and I told them "I don't know what is going on." Then the Police says that I was rude to one of the associates and I said "Really and they call you?" The store is giving me a criminal trespassing and I will not be able to come back to the store. So I talk to a man in corporate by the name of Sal and I am telling him everything that I can remember of the events and one of the police officers tells me that hopefully they won't be coming up there every time they can't handle a customer.
Let me tell you how embarrassing all this was for me, I have been a customer of JCPenney for over 20 years and to be treated this way for asking for the manager. I have never had a problem returning anything and all this was because of a pair of jeans. The manager has no customer service and the young woman has no business working with customers if she needs the police and her mother. I have read the reviews on JCPenney. GUESS WHAT? I really thought that SAL from corporate was going to do something about the situation and he didn't.
When Sal call me back, I was literally called a liar and I told him "I don't need to lie, because I don't you from Jack." I know there is a GOD and there will be justice. I will make one more attempt today and then GOD will take it! I talk to another woman by the name of Janine and she apologized for the treatment of the store to the corporate idiot name Sal. She could not believe that all this happen for a pair of pants. She gave me corporate telephone number.

I called just after Veteran's day to query when it would be delivered as I had received an email stating that my order had shipped. It took from November 10th to November 30th to make its way to California. Once it made it to California on November 20th it took a couple of days for MDX to contact me for a delivery date. The date set was December 7th.
I really wanted it sooner, but then I received a call from MDX on December 5th to let me know that the soonest they would deliver my chair would be Dec 21st. Are you out of your mind? They won't deliver to my Fairfield address as the city of over 100,000 doesn't have enough business for them to make the 45 mile trek. Are you kidding me! JCP just lost a long time customer.

I placed an on-line order with JC Penney for 7 items on 11/28 and utilized PayPal to process the payment. I received notice that the order shipped on 11/30 and tracked it. JC Penney's shipping partner is UPS. The UPS website showed it was to be delivered on 12/02 so I was happy, 5 days from order to delivery. Well, you know what they say about good intentions. It's now 12/05 and UPS lost the package. There is no activity on it since they picked it up on 11/30. They were willing to do a search but needed it to be initiated by JC Penney so I called Customer Service.
Unfortunately JC Penney will not initiate a search until 12/08 so I was told to call back then, even though UPS told me the package was lost... I talked to a Supervisor who was willing to re-issue the order but I would need to pay for it up front and they would not credit the initial shipment until 12/08. I was notified by PayPal that I was credited for two of the items already. They were no longer in stock but Penney's didn't bother to mention it or notify me.
When he went to process the order he found a third item was no longer in stock... So at that point I just requested that he cancel the entire order. He's more than glad to do that, as long as I call back on 12/08 and they request a search and file a claim for the merchandise against UPS. Meanwhile they still have my money, they know my shipment is lost and are making me call them back because it's their policy to give their shipping partner more time to get their act together. I'm done with ordering from Penney's on-line. At least you know what you have when you leave the store and you can walk right back in and return it, without waiting!
