    I tried to make a purchase on-line. After one hour I finally ended up calling in to place my order. 2 sales associates outright lied because they could not figure out why I could not access my rewards points. When I made my purchase on a purse the sales associate said, "Oh, you get 40% off. Do you want another one". 40% off did sound like a good bargain so I got another purse. I also bought an egg cooker thinking that this too was 40% off as the ad said. I was told that my rewards were used on the purchase too. I made my purchase and hung up after giving the sales lady an excellent review. I thought about the cost which didn't sound that much like a sale, and checked the prices online. There was nothing taken off the price of the purses and nothing off the egg cooker.

    I called back and was told the 40% did not apply to the purses and I did get $10 off the egg cooker. No rewards were used on the purchase. Then to add insult to injury I was told I could not cancel the order. I would have to return it after I get it. So I have lost another hour and it will probably take another hour to get the merchandise returned and ensure my card is credited. I can't go to the store as I am not able to walk or drive. I wonder how many times I have been lied to in the past and just didn't catch it.

    I submitted the $10.00 rebate paperwork for the Cooks crockpot that was offered Black Friday 2016. I read prior to purchasing that the rebate system was a joke at JCP which I didn't want to believe. Well, now I do! Paperwork submitted, no rebate. After tracking and contacting them they said I didn't provide UPC. I have since read other complaints on the same product. I would have NEVER bought that crockpot without rebate. I have better things to do than argue over $10.00, but JCP, I guarantee you will not get my business again! You should follow through with your rebates! Is it really worth losing a customer over $10.00? Should have gone to Amazon... And I will next time!

    I went to JC Penney on 2/18/2017 for the first time in nearly a year. The cashier asked if I was a rewards member. I gave her my phone number and she confirmed it. The total purchase was $38.89. Then this lady asked me if I wanted to apply for a JC Penney credit card. Seemly to her surprise I already had one. I gave her the card then she asked for my I.D. I've shopped at JC Penney for years and I have never been asked for an I.D. and especially for such a small off named brand purchase! Beforehand I stood in line waiting to be served and she never asked any of the prior customers for their I.D. I confronted her and asked her why she asked for my I.D. She claimed it was for my protection. lol... Bull! If my friend didn't need the blouse for church I would had thrown it back in her face and gone to Belk or one of the other 15 stores where I have credit cards for.

    I purchased 3 items online 01/30/2017 and 2 of them came within the 3-5 days promised but the Steam Cleaner that we really need since we have 3 pets didn't come. I called on 02/06/2017 and was told my item was leaving the warehouse and that if it didn't come Friday or Monday to call back. Needless to say my steam cleaner didn't come Monday so I called back and apparently my item was still sitting in the warehouse (they overlooked it somehow) and that they would put a 2 day express shipping on it.

    I called Thursday to find out when my package would be delivered only to find out the item was canceled and not being delivered! I didn't even get a phone call or email to me! The woman told me she wasn't sure why that happened since they have the item in stock but I could repurchase it and it would get to me by 02/22/2017. I'm very upset that this item is in and my order was canceled. I'm upset if I would have repurchased it, it would have taken 5 days to get to me. So now I have to purchase this item somewhere else because I can't wait another 5 days and who know if it would come then. I'm disappointed and will not shop on JCP.com anymore.

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

    Back in November we ordered a dishwasher and it was installed in December. While we could install it ourselves, we decided since it was a free installation promo, we'd take them up on that. Horrible decision. The person who did our installation completed flooded our kitchen and basement. He repeatedly told my husband the water didn't need shut off, just under the sink. My husband argued with him, but finally backed off. Bad decision. When I started getting out towels to mop up the mess in the kitchen and my husband grabbed towels to mop up the mess that was flooding into our basement he kept telling us he'd clean it up after he was finished. I kept telling him that, "No, this couldn't wait. Our basement, where all of our Christmas gifts were being kept as well as our computer, had water gushing down into it. We needed to take care of this mess NOW."

    Once he finally finished the installation he quickly took off. No offer to continue to help us clean up, not even an "I'm sorry". He clearly wanted out of there ASAP. Unacceptable. We spent that entire afternoon and evening using a wet vac, fan, and towels to clean up the mess. Not to mention constant laundry since we kept running out of towels. I called JCPenney that day to complain and we were put in touch with the department who handles claims. In a few weeks they sent someone out to access the damage. He said it was clear they owe us money to replace the ceiling in our basement and possibly the sub floor in our kitchen. He didn't want to pull up any flooring himself to check. He said a second person would have to come out to find out how much they would owe us for damages.

    It's not February and we haven't even been contacted to set up an appointment. I have been on the phone non stop today to try to get a hold of someone. I have been transferred seven times. The phone quality gets worse with each transfer. The last person gave me a new number to call and it ended up being for Home Depot who was very confused why I called them. Why would they transfer me and give me the number to Home Depot?

    When I called the last number I was given prior to that one I said I was sick of being given the runaround. I want to speak to the person who can get me set up with an appointment to see what we are owed in damages and if this isn't taken care of I will file a complaint with the BBB and also seek not just payment for damages, but a full refund on the dishwasher. This is unacceptable. JCPenney needs to find another company to handle installation if they don't even show remorse for their damages and then won't follow through on phone calls to let people know what they're doing for their claims. Will not purchase from JCPenney again because of this experience.

    My husband purchased this ring in December 2012. I lost a diamond within 2 months. Since then I have lost about 10 stones, some of which are the same ones. I did purchase the lifetime warranty, thank goodness. I have had the ring in for repairs 8 times. They just keep replacing stones, which would be fine if they used the same quality stones as when we purchased it. I just picked up ring this week and I was in my office, which is very bright. I looked down at my ring and the stones that were replaced, (there were 4) are very dark in color. I almost thought the stones had fell out again, but after looking closer, I see they are just a darker color.

    I have been OK with them just replacing the stones, but I am NOT OK with using stones of poor quality. I purchased the warranty for a reason. I have asked the last several times to for them to just buy it back. They always tell me that if it can be repaired that is what they will do. I'm unhappy with my ring now. I am thinking of purchasing a new one, but it will most definitely not be from JCPenney's.

    On 2/5/17 I took my 16 year old daughter to JCPenney in Spanish Fort, Al and after 3 days of shopping/searching for the right prom dress my daughter found a beautiful My Michelle Merlot long formal dress. We take it to the register to purchase and when the cashier rang it up the machine alerted an emergency recall on this dress. I asked to speak to the manager as the cashier could not tell me anything except I couldn't buy it. Now if that's the case why we're there over 15 of these dresses on the floor out ready to be sold.

    The manager Barbara came to the desk stated she had no idea what the recall was about but that I just couldn't purchase. She did not apologize for the incompetence of the stock still being out on the floor, she did not offer me any type of coupons to rectify the mistake, she did not even sympathize with the fact that my daughter's heart just got broken, she just said you cannot purchase it. I have never heard of an emergency recall on clothing and was disappointed in the manner that this was handled. I watched my daughter go from so excited to have finally found the perfect prom dress to this look of devastation in seconds.

    Now I understand there are other dresses out there and a prom dress isn't life altering but to a teenage girl after trying on at least 100 dresses to finally finding that one... And then being told no. It is mood altering. The only recall I have found regarding the My Michelle dresses are from 2013... Is it possible the store never returned it back to the company and somehow it got pulled out into the stock this year. Who knows? All I know is that I will never shop at JCPenney's again. The incompetence and lack of communication at The Spanish Fort location is to blame.

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

    Let me just begin by this. If you are paying cash for your purchases you will love this store- if you are making a large purchase and putting on their credit card you may want to read. My review talks about our large purchases we made using a JCPenney Credit Card. We bought a sofa and chair from their clearance which was under $2000.00; three years interest free. We then went back to the store and ordered a recliner to match the set which was around $1200.00 but the salesperson told us it was only one year interest free. I asked if I made large payments would they pay down the item whose promotional interest rate expired first and she said yes. My fault because I had made almost $3000.00 in payments when I noticed our balance was up to $3000.00 still. I called and they said I hadn't paid off the recliner and it accrued interest. I was shocked!! I reached out to JCPenney's to help resolve this mess but still not resolved.

    I also noticed that if I pay JCPenney's a couple of weeks before payment is due I not only get a late fee of $35.00 but interest from the beginning of the month to due date. So, I called and had the one month late fee and interest reversed after explaining they could see I made two payments before the due date... but wonder how many times I had done the same thing without paying attention.

    That recliner which was ordered in December didn't arrive until late January was broken upon delivery. The entire back of the recliner was crooked and you couldn't sit in it as the back wouldn't go up and down. We called and they sent a repairman in March. The repairman said back was taken out of the base. He had to remove the upholstery on the back and remove it because it was not connected to the base. And they are charging us promotional interest?

    We cancelled our Penney's card because of this furniture. It's a nightmare trying to deal with their customer service. If you call at the wrong time you are definitely talking to a call center in another country... and they cannot help. Then you call your local store and they say they cannot help. Our fault, the first time we ever bought furniture on credit but definitely our last!! Bad experience. I use to shop JCPenney's all of the time. I use to love their coupons and deals. This was our first interest free item and it turned into such a mess that I refuse to even step foot in their store. They need to talk to their salespeople who are giving out wrong information.

    1/11/2017 Tried to place an order on the JCP website. The website was NOT calculating items that were on sale, specifically, buy one and get the next at 50% off. I tried several combinations of items trying to do the math in my head since I had to also calculate shipping if under 100 bucks. The website simply wasn't working as expected, (like every other shopping website does) so I opened a chat window to find out what to do next. The cheerful person was happy to help and asked if I would like to have them (JCP) place the order for me. After a short amount of time, I was asked if I was ready to check out. I said, "uh yeah... but, I don't have visibility of the order." I was told the amount was 75 bucks and they would waive the shipping. This was a great deal and I was glad for chatting with someone.

    HOWEVER... after getting the email confirmation, I realized that while I was experimenting with different items trying to figure out how/why the website was/wasn't calculating correctly, I had left a cheaper but wrong item on the order. I called the customer service number immediately. It was 5 minutes after the order had been placed and I'm told my payment had been processed and accepted and THEY/JCP closed the order immediately. NO CHANGES OR CANCELLATIONS ALLOWED!!! (Hardly seems legit...but okay). Apparently, the ONLY option available to me was to wait for the items to arrive at my house, call them back and ask for return labels, take the packages to a UPS store or schedule a pickup, and wait for the items to go through transit to be received by the manufacturer's warehouse at which time JCP will issue a refund when they're notified.

    The MFG's warehouse is in Washington State. I live in Oregon. Portland to Seattle, under normal circumstances, is about a 3 and a half hour drive. Oregon did experience some bad weather so a small delay in shipping was expected. 1/23/2017 I received the items and promptly called customer service for the return labels. After a brief argument with the agent who claimed, they could not issue a return unless it was damaged or... some other lame hollow restriction arbitrarily plucked from the sky to "change my mind" on the return... I tell that person to read the notes on my order. The agent said the labels would be sent out standard mail to my address... which was my request... but here it is... 1/28/2017 and still no labels yet.

    JCP is crazy if they think this is acceptable. Closing an order after payment and before it's picked/shipped is counter-intuitive. Claiming a policy of NO cancellations when it's JCP's website that's screwed up, isn't right... It's a red flag. Taking and holding my money while I have to wait for the good graces of JCP to go through their self inflicted process... makes me mad. Message received! I'm still not halfway through the return process and they/JCP might be shocked when I don't purchase from them again. Btw, after talking with some other people at work, yeah, I found out my first mistake was shopping at JCP. I'm here to confirm their poor reputation is well deserved.

Eventually I found someone in a different department who said, "Oh there's no one there at this time." So I went home. A week later same story, only this time I politely interrupted an assistant who was having a very loud conversation with a 'friend'. She said, "Oh I don't work in this department but I'll check if anyone can help you." Another long wait examining baby clothes, but she had disappeared never to be seen again.

    I recently ordered items for my husband and daughter from jcpenney.com and though I was satisfied with the quality of the items the return policy is horrendous. I would highly recommend purchasing through a different online company. I needed to exchange an item. I wanted the exact same item except my husband a size larger than what I had ordered. I was irate to find out that I had to pay shipping a second time in order to make an exchange. I often order from macys.com and they simply send out a return label and when they receive the returned item they reship the appropriate size free of charge.

    I am highly disappointed because there is a purse that I really want from jcpenney.com (which would actually bring my total to the point that shipping on the original item would be waived) however, after my dealings with supervisor at jcpenney.com and their ridiculous online return policy it appears as though I will have to pass on the purse, get a refund for the sweatshirt and make my purchases elsewhere. I highly advise against any online shopping with JCPenney. In the long run it would have cost me over 25.00 in shipping charges to purchase a sweatshirt that was originally valued at 52.00; so much for sale! Again, I am extremely upset by this. I was a loyal JCPenney customer.

    I purchased a pair of jeans before Xmas 2016 on a promo sale (i.e. Black Friday or cyber Monday). They were for my husband who had open heart surgery a year ago. His doctor ordered him to exercise, namely to walk. Consequently he has been consistently losing weight. After the holidays, after trying on jeans, he said they were a size too big. We went to JCPenney on 1/19/2017 at Willowbrook Mall in Houston, TX to exchange them for a size smaller. We had the receipt, order confirmation, tags still on jeans and all paperwork etc.

    Clerk told us to find the right size and go upstairs to customer service because the original order was made online. We found the exact same model number, brand etc and did so. My husband was told that he would have to pay an additional $27.00 and that Penny's would not do an exchange. He told them to credit my account and forget about us paying more for the same item just one size smaller. This was upsetting because the jeans were a gift and now my husband has no gift from me.

    I bought a mattress at JCPenney in Frisco, TX on 8 Jan. 2017 amount $1693.48, about 3 miles from their Corporate HQ in Plano, TX. After buying the mattress I was told the mattress had to be made before it could be shipped to our home and that it should take around 7-10 days at the most. Well it's past that. The delivery service which is located in California said it would be another week because they were backlogged. I called Penney's 800 # and was on hold about 30 minutes. When the rep answered the phone she had a sour tone in her voice and it only went south from there. Needless to say she was no help.

    After 3 attempts trying to call the store in Frisco I asked to speak with the manager. Of course he was not available. I had to speak with Brady who did not have a clue and worst he really didn't care about resolving my issue. I finally went to the store and actually got to speak with a real Asst. Manager. I told her my issue and of course she was no help. So I canceled my order, handed her my JCPenney cards and told her that if this was the service of the future I'd rather do without.

    Bottom line do not buy a mattress from JCPenney or anything else for that matter. It's too difficult and someone will end up lying to you to get you to buy something. I went to Mattress Firm today. Got the same exact mattress for 10% under Penney's with free shipping and I will get it tomorrow. I have been a loyal Penney's customer for over 35 years but as we all know now loyalty is nothing but a word. Soon they will run themselves out of business and all the exec's will get their huge bonuses. So sad...

    This is my second experience like this one and my last. My last complaint went to Plano TX and did no good. I had ordered a winter coat and got the wrong size. I ordered a L and got a PM. I am not petite or medium so I returned the coat. There is no longer a catalog department. There is one register where one person is working. One person. The line for service was long, maybe 40 people. I stood in line while the clerk at the register helped each customer. One lady in desperation called out, "can't you call some help?" The clerk replied, "I'm not allowed".

    One man got out of line and said he was going to find management. If it killed him someone would be held accountable. I think they killed him as he never returned, we all laughed about it. I was there an hour and ten minutes. Then the only clerk wanted to chit chat. I shut her up and said, "no, I want you to return this and hurry up... I don't want to talk about whether or anything else you have people in that line that have been there over an hour..." How dare her start chit chatting with me when she is obviously slow and intentionally stalling everyone perhaps to get even with her boss. Who knows. This was at the Battlefield Mall in Springfield MO. I will never enter the store again and will cancel my credit card with them on Tuesday. Today is Monday 1-16-17 and is MLK Day so I'm sure there is no one at the cancellation desk. I can bet on that. Anyway, I am through with this company.

    Today my husband wanted to purchase a pair of men's jeans by Lee. He went to the store to buy them but they were not in stock so he went to the catalog department for help but I guess he was missing some information they needed, although he had a print out of the item from the online ad. He came home and said we had to order online. When I tried to order online it said the item was in stock and I was unable to order online because, although it gave me an option of picking the item up in the store or home delivery it never gave me a selection process to enable me to make the choice.

    I was having such a difficult time I decided to call your 1-800 number. What a mistake!!! The lady who answered was super rude and said in a very condescending manner that if the store says they don't have them in stock they don't have them!!! Well excuse me. And she wouldn't hang up so although I had pressed 1 to take the survey I could not because she would not speak or hang up the phone and I waited about 10 or 15 minutes before I gave up and hung up.

She was kind enough to explain to me that even though it says In stock it means it is in stock in the warehouse not the store. (Don't know why the customer service Lady couldn't tell me this.) Also she walked me through ordering the pants online. We quickly found out that her order screen and mine were not the same. I still could not choose the option between home and store pick up. It was non-existent.

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

    I just had to write this letter to get recognition for Terry ** in the Men's Dept. of the Riverdale Utah store. What could have ended up being a disaster with bad feeling and negative concept of the JCPenney store, we came away as happy customers. Thank you Terry for saving the day. Also you might want to look into the online ordering as others may have experienced the same problem with delivery as I did. Additionally, when I order on-line it always pulls up a store many miles from my home even though I have repeatedly corrected this information.

    Purchased mattress and box spring in early December 2016. Since I didn't have sheets deep enough to fit the mattress, it wasn't used for a week after delivery. It was defective. The pillowtop of mattress was offset by 2 inches on top and 1 side. Have been trying to resolve this issue for 3 weeks now. Trying to get through to a real live person is next to "IMPOSSIBLE". My calls number 22 now and each wait was no shorter than 15 minutes, usually, it was 30 or more. So tired of hearing "Thank you for your patience. Your call is important to us. (yeah, right) Please remain on the line. A representative will be with you shortly." Just read that JC Penney is closing many stores around the country. I'm sure that's the reason. If they remain open, I certainly WILL NEVER purchase another thing from them. What a shame such an institution has fallen into such shambles. A sign of the times. No one really cares anymore!

    I really like the glasses that I received in store. Great value and they fit perfect. If not you just go back and they fix them. I just wish that they would include more options for free such as glare resistant. They don't always have the best selection, which is small but doable for the price.

    Order arrived damaged. I called, sat on hold for 30 minutes after navigating through a horrible automated system only to be hung up on as the rep was asking me my order number. I then contacted JCPenney though chat and was told I could take the busted liquid makeup back to the store. I'm definitely not driving 30 minutes for their mistake. I didn't hear the first "I'm sorry" through the entire order. They aren't sorry the item arrived damaged nor are they sorry I spent so much time on hold just to be disconnected. The chat representative then scheduled a pick up from UPS without consulting with me, just told me it would be the next day and of course I won't be home. Then I was told they were sorry if it was an inconvenience and that was it. No offer to reschedule or anything, so now the UPS man will be wasting his time. This place needs to just close down. I will stick to Amazon from now on.

    We shopped at the Holyoke, MA Mall store for a Black Friday Sale (Nov 27th) for a new washing machine. Found a great deal on an LG model, so good in fact that we purchased the matching dryer. We were told that it was on backorder, but it would be delivered Dec. 29th. Never received a call from anyone regarding the actual delivery. On Dec. 30th, I called the Holyoke store to see if my delivery would be rescheduled because it had stormed on the 29th. I was told to call customer service. I called customer service, spent more than 30 mins being transferred around and trying to get an answer. I was finally told to call the store directly. I again called the store, spoke to a salesman who tried very hard to help me, but again referred me back to customer service. When I finally spoke to a human in the appliance customer service I was told my appliances would be delivered in February!!! It was a manufacturing problem.

    After several more phone calls, I found out that the washer was available, but not the dryer. So I ask them to ship the washer, I really needed it (my old one had died by this time). I was informed, "Can't do that". They can't ship just the washer, have to call store to cancel the order and reorder the pieces separately. Called the store, I request the order be separated. They will cancel the order, but I will not get the same pricing or the special financing because now my order doesn't meet certain requirements!!! I ask to speak to manager. All I get is the second shift assistant manager, who knows absolutely nothing except to tell me to call customer service. She states that the appliance manager is the only person who can help me. I insist she take my information and have him return my call immediately.

    I'm STILL waiting for his call. I informed every person I spoke to at that company that they have NO BUSINESS SELLING PRODUCTS THEY CAN'T DELIVER!!! My order is currently now scheduled for delivery in March. I went to Manny's on Dec. 31st, ordered the same appliances, at a better price, and had them in my home on Jan 2nd!!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

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.

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. Oh, and did I mention, the nearest JCP store is nearly 45 minutes away. Amazon is looking better and better. Brick and mortar stores will be a thing of the past if customer services does not improve soon!

    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 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.

We contacted JCPenney Customer Services 3 different times right after that... I wanted to cancelled and money be refunded... No one take any immediate action or know what to do, how the process works.

    A month later, no credit has been refunded my account. Today 12/13/16 I called. Talk to customer service, then transferred to Major appliances. Still they have to check with Samsung. 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 am very mad and disappointed at the way this company handle their job.

    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 had been waiting 32 minutes originally. I can honestly say that my JCPenney card of 26+ years has been cancelled today and I will NOT be shopping at JCPenney again. AMAZON.com is the only site I will venture to make purchases as they truly support their customer service, refunds, shipments and are a pleasure to deal with. Thank you JCPenney for destroying a long-relationship with poor and utterly non-existent customer service.

    I placed a order. Realized it was wrong. Called jcp.com. Waited 18 minutes just to get disconnected... Called back. Waited another 40 minutes, just to be told that they can't cancel it because it is being processed. Well, if I didn't have to wait that long, or if I had the option to cancel it myself I wouldn't be having this problem. Now I have to wait til it arrives at the store... accept it and then return it... It's pretty ridiculous. If has no way of doing a online chat to Fix the problem.

    I was shipped the wrong item for an order I placed online. The reason I placed an order online in the first place was to avoid having to go to the mall. I called customer service and after 10 minutes of being on hold was told I either need to pay for shipping or return it at the store. I tried to question the rep about having to incur the cost of shipping or the cost of my time even when it was completely the company's fault. She hung up on me. I tried to call back but after 10 minutes of being on hold was disconnected. Horrible customer service. The company certainly doesn't make it easy to contact JC Penney reps.

    I bought 2 griddles, along with a multitude of other items on Black Friday. The advertised price was $7.99 each. I bought one for my sister-in-law, which she took home to Texas. While reviewing all my receipts, I realized the store charged $20 each, I immediately called the store to alert them and get my $24 back. They said it was a 'rebate' offer - although it must have been microscopic on the sign... and I had to have both original UPC symbols from the boxes.

    Since one was now in Texas (and she had already opened and disposed of the box), I called customer service. They were NO HELP! I was told I should have removed the UPC before it left my possession... so how are you supposed to shop for gifts then, hmmmm? If you give a gift - you have to cut up the box prior to giving it out?!? If the advertised deal is only as a rebate - that should be in type the same size as the price - if I had known that, I would have paid the extra $2 at Walmart just to avoid the hassle of applying for a stupid rebate... this store - and their service - SUCKS!

    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.

    A month ago, I bought a lovely quilted bedspread from JCPenney. I put it on the bed And decided I wanted 2 shams and a throw pillow from the set. And that's how this started! So the first time my order arrived at my house I got one king sham and one standard sham. I paid for shipping because it was difficult for me to drive to the mall. I called customer support and they said they could open a case and have somebody call me but I really had to take this back to the store. OK that was not helpful. I had to drive to the store. There, a helpful girl tried to get me the right sham off the shelf, but brought the wrong color. This set comes in pink and green and I'm going for the green. So the pink was returned. The store then ordered another green standard sham for me online.

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

I was called by a crazy dunning harsh sounding automated call that told me my order was in and if I didn't pick it up in a certain amount of time, it would be sent back. Okay, not the best way to contact your customers with the nasty voice, but still okay. I go to the store and they brought out a bag and asked me to check it. It was a pair of jeans. The clerk, who was struggling with a new computer system was having a horrible time trying to back this out and re-order the nightgown. Thank goodness an older, much more experienced employee was there and she credited the charge back to my card, re-ordered it, told me she would send it to my home for free AND took $10 off the price of the nightgown. I received it within less than a week.

    The problem, you ask? I have now gotten multiple E-mails asking me to rate the product. The product is fine, but if you try to rate your experience with JCP, you get sent straight to their shopping site. I haven't called them yet, but I will. Their customer supply system is in shambles. I know that brick and mortar stores are suffering and losing business to online companies and THIS IS WHY: ALL THESE BIG DEPARTMENT STORES WERE ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL WHILE PEOPLE LIKE JEFF BEZOS ATE THEIR LUNCH.

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.

    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. I called and was told another 7-10 days. 10/14 - Still no refund. I called and was old another 20 days. 10/24 - Still no refund - Writing this review (I know it's "only" been 10 days since the last call, only 10 to go!).

    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.

    I booked my outdoor session online with the knowledge that there was a $24.99 nonrefundable fee for Saturday 10/08. However if you are going to charge a customer you must ensure the photographer shows up. The experience left a very sour taste in my mouth. I received a phone call on Thursday 10/06 from Alexis the person that was going to do our session. She sounded in a hurry and asked me if she could reschedule my appointment until Sunday. This was a little inconvenience because I had to push some things around to make it happened. Regardless I agreed to change the appointment for Sunday at 12:30 p.m.

    On Sunday at 12:35 she contacted me again to tell me that she wasn't going to make it because her car broke down and didn't know how long it was going to take to fix it so she needed to reschedule me again. I was extremely upset because first of all, our appointment was at 12:30 and she lives in Henderson. In what time machine was she going to make it from Henderson area to Lamb Floyd Park by Centennial side in Las Vegas area? So if you have an appointment with a client knowing the kind of traffic Vegas has with construction and all wouldn't you leave at least an hour prior to ensure your arrival time which leads me to believe that she would have known then her car wasn't working which could have contacted me prior to going through all the trouble of getting my daughters, husband, and myself ready for this.

    It was an event that we were really looking forward too, since it was my youngest 1st birthday and we do not currently have any family professional photos. I tried to contact the studio to see if they could see us because again we were all dressed up and ready to go. Once again we were unsuccessful and couldn't be seen until 3:15 p.m. because of being booked already. The most upsetting part is the lack of customer service and professionalism to resolve the situation. I am out $24.99 plus my pictures. It was the perfect day weather-wise and it got ruined by an unprofessional, irresponsible photographer. It is a shame that the company employs people like that which leave customers feeling ripped off. I would definitely not recommend anyone to book an appointment with the outdoor portrait studio.

    I ordered some dressers for my daughter's room. It would not work online (first clue) so I called and placed it over the phone. It came to more money than I thought so I waited to get an email receipt so I could break it down. Email never came. I called multiple times about the email the next day and still to this day never got an email (second clue). I ordered an Ashley dresser with a mirror and a baby hutch with a connecting chest underneath. The furniture arrived in a few weeks in boxes. When I got home and opened them it was the wrong dresser and the hutch was in pieces. The Ashley dresser and mirror did. It come. Called AGAIN. Told them they ordered me a chest that can't hold a hutch on top, hutch wasn't assembled and that I was missing two other items. I told them I'd keep the chest because I liked it but they need to return the hutch when the rest of my furniture arrives. The chest was double the price of the one I originally ordered.

    Waited another two weeks for the dresser, finally had a delivery day and they called me that morning to tell me it was damaged and they wouldn't be delivering it (I was already charged $700 for it). CALLED AGAIN and they said they needed to reorder it all and start all over! I said to cancel it and refund my money and come get the hutch! Still no refund for the dresser and mirror that I never received and no refund for the hutch or a pickup. It's a HUGE box that I can't move and I call them literally every single day for the past month and I get nowhere!! I'm out $900 and I'm going to pursue legal action if it isn't settled this week!

    On Sept. 30, 2016, I ordered a few items on JC Penney.com to be shipped to the store. The items stated online that they were In Stock and my order will be available in 4-7 business days. I have called numerous times to check on the order that still hasn't arrived, so today I was headed that way & decided to stop in and maybe the item would be there. After talking with one of the sales associates, I told her to cancel the order because they could not tell me when my items would be available. I told her I didn't want to wait any longer & would like my order refunded since it was paid online thru PayPal.

    The total amt. was $19.83 with the shipping & tax. When the associate did the refund, it was refunded for only $15.88. I did not realize this till I was looking at the receipt, so I called the store back and wanted to find out why I wasn't refunded the full amt. Well, They forgot to refund the shipping & tax back, so now if I want that money refunded to me, I have to go back to that store in person to collect that money. I live pretty far from that store and do not get into town that often, so now I will have to go back.

    This is not the first time that an order of mine has been screwed up, so now I learned and will never order or shop at JC Penney anymore. After speaking with a manager about this, she gave me her name & dept # and told me to call when I get in town again so we can straighten this out, she offered me a gift card for my inconvenience, but still will never shop or order from them again. When you pay an amt, you should get that same amt back without any hassle at all.

    They advertise that 30% or better discount on appliances and delivery included, but in reality when you get to the store they tell you on an order under $300 has a del. charge, which came out to $318, plus tax. "Ok I want to pick it up!" "No we don't do that; we only deliver appliances." Just to make sure my Wife went over and ask for them to get her the microwave and she would take it home with her.

    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 ordered pants for my husband who is a large size person and hard to fit. He has health challenges, and it is difficult to take him shopping. I ordered them over two weeks ago to be shipped to store. I didn't expect it to take so long, and nobody could tell me where my order was, when it will actually arrive at the store (it was supposed to arrive already). Two days ago, the national customer service says only the store can issue a refund. The store says that they cannot issue a refund until my item arrives at the store. They charged my PayPal account 10 days ago... claiming that my item had been shipped. It must have been dispatched tied to a turtle's rear end! I have initiated a claim through PayPal and expect that they will give me a full refund. Based on this experience, I am highly unlikely to order through J.C. Penney again. My order has at long last turned up at the store, but the overall experience is not acceptable.

    I had ordered a men's Casio Atomic watch on Sept 15th 2016. When I went to checkout I had entered two coupons for a total of $20.00. The item was on sale for $31.96. Now you take $31.96 subtract the $20.00 in coupons the total came out to $11.96. Now here's where I believe I was overcharged. When I spoke to customer service I explained to the woman that I was charged the whole amount which was $21.66. I then said I had enough in coupons to cover the cost of the item which was $11.96 after the $20 in coupons. And that I should have only been charged the $8.95 + 0.75 cents not the whole $21.66.

    One minute she tells me the coupons/rewards went in and the next it didn't. To top it off I get the wrong item and no receipt. She was the rudest CS agent I've ever spoke to. She couldn't even admit to overcharging me and I even said anytime someone uses a coupon or a rewards online it's just gonna charge the full amount anyways to the card. So now I have to go there in person and hopefully I don't have any problems.

    I bought a bed from JC Penney in 2014. The box spring broke. It was under warranty, so JC Penney had a technician come out to look at it. It was determined to be a manufacturers defect. They no longer make that bed model, so I opted for a refund. It took almost 2 months to get the bed picked up. I've spent the last 2 months trying to figure out where the refund they supposedly processed is. No one I've talked to in the warranty dept or otherwise has been at all helpful, and I'm out almost $1000. I've been assured twice now by JC Penney, that my refund was successfully processed. My credit card company has no evidence of any attempts at a refund. I've spent almost 5 months dealing with this problem, and still can't get any answers. I'm considering legal action. Do not buy from JC Penney.

    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. Penney credit card as well. The people there were very nice and helpful. I was satisfied with my purchase. 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. He said okay to corporate and turned the phone off and still refused to do the exchange. The store managers name was Caryn **. Supposedly she was not going to allow the exchange. They were so rude and disgusting to me and I cannot believe that the general manager was going to set her own rules and not follow corporate's orders.

    It has been over two weeks since this ordeal and I gave them my information to get into contact with me to have a meeting with the general manager and she has yet to call me. 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. I am angry at the service I received. I would like to see corporate come into the situation and give the store manager and the jewelry department supervisor disciplinary for their actions.

    The store policy is that out of state returns and exchanges cannot be done at J.C. Penney. That is bogus. There is nowhere stated on J.C. Penney's website that that is their policy. I asked to see it in writing and they just got appalled that I would even ask such a thing. The sales people started getting louder with me just cause I asked that. How dare they. I work in retail myself and you're always supposed to have the customer leave somewhat happy to the best of your ability. They wouldn't even try to fix the issue. 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 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.

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 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.

    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 ordered a dress that was in stock and was told it would be here in 3-5 days. I've been waiting two weeks and nothing. The employees don't know what they're doing and won't help at all. Never ordering through this company again.

    I am extremely unsatisfied with all J.C.PENNEY's in Houston, TX. For years y'all play the same music over and over and now you are playing 50% of your music in Spanish. I'm not trying to be rude, but who as a shopper wants to come into your stores and have to listen to Spanish?? When we are in a primarily English country. You do not play any country music like Chris Young, Alan Jackson, etc. (and true country, not the Band Perry fake country). It is totally dissatisfying to say the least... If you're going to cater to all types of culture, and music of customers liking... Make sure you actually do that.

    Me and my boyfriend decided to buy a ring for our anniversary from jc penney. There was a sale going on so we found a great deal. When we ordered the ring, it came on time but there was a diamond missing. I was very disappointed so we returned it and got a refund. We decided to just order the same ring again because maybe it was just a one time mistake. With the 2nd order, the ring got lost in transit!!! They just completely lost our order and gave us a refund. I'm very disappointed and shocked that a company would operate like this when online shopping is used more. Now, I don't really trust JC Penney anymore and will not be shopping there again.

    J.C. Penney in the Columbia Mall, Columbia MO. I have shopped here for years. Recently they moved the plus size women's clothing to the second floor. The department looks worse than the worst bargain basement department I've ever seen. I was surprised I could even find the department. Absolutely no signage at all. Clothing racks crammed together, one shabbily constructed dressing room. I was really embarrassed. I really like the Liz Clairborne line. If I was the representative for this line I would pull the plus sizes from this store. You would be better off not having a plus size department at all. I worked in retail for years. I was disgusted and sad.

    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.

    Took 5 working days for them to "complete" an online order... the order just kept saying "processing." Now the delivery date that is listing on the tracking is going to be 3 days later than they stated they would be delivered (3 days later from the LAST of the dates they said it would be delivered) - and this was listed at the time items were ordered otherwise I would not have ordered. Too late for what I needed them for. I LOVE Zappos and Macy's online service and their customer service. I order - I get it at no shipping charges and it comes as promised - if not earlier. No sale price items from Penney will ever persuade me to order from them again. I will never, ever sway from Macy's or Zappos again. Goodbye J.C. Penney!!!

    My weight is 170 pound. My wife's weight is 117. I bought king size mattress and it started sagging on both sides after couple weeks and is getting worse every day. My previous mattress after 30 years had sagged 1/2 inch when we had it replaced with this one. We called JC Penney customer service and they sent an inspector to take some pictures. Pictures proved over 1 inch sagging on both sides but JCPenney has rejected this claim for replacement because sagging is not 3 inches deep. I asked JCPenney's customer service (Veronica) for hard copy of the pictures and documents send to my email, but she refused to send any documents.

    Terrible Customer Service! I have placed several on-line orders with them over the past couple of months. Today I had some questions and called customer service. Had to call several times. The agents were rude, agitated, not friendly or pleasant at all. Twice they hung up the phone on me. I was asking about an order and first I gave them the right date and then I gave them the wrong date. They laughed mockingly at me and said I gave them the wrong date. When I said "I gave you the right date first" they rung up on me. I will NEVER order with this company again. Macy's has EXCELLENT customer service, very helpful and friendly, and even have free returns which JC Penney doesn't have. I will order from Macy's or other stores from now on. JC Penney, you lost my business because of your RUDE customer service.

    I ordered six garments online from J.C. Penney. I expected to be treated fairly if I had to return them or exchange them for some reason. Instead, they charged exorbitant re-stocking fees. A order of $180 that was returned to the store, I received $93 in return. This is outrageous amount of money to require of a customer to restock simple everyday clothing. I will NEVER do business, of any kind, with J.C. Penney again. That may not matter to them, but I will also be spreading the word about this incident on every social media outlet I can find. They should be ashamed!

    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.

    Unbelievably horrid customer service. My very ill husband went with me to get out of the house on 12-24-16. I was in upper level getting last minute gift. He was supposed to wait in the car. He was dying from multiple myeloma, bone marrow cancer. On Nov 11, 2015, he was given 2 wks to 2 months. Our anniversary was Dec 31 & he came in with the use of his cane & was buying me a ring. He went into a coma on Jan 1 & passed Jan 3rd. I didn't wear the ring until the end of March when my girlfriend took me on a short vacation. I wore it 5 days.

    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. Unless you want a very cheap piece of jewelry don't buy at JCP. This ring supposedly retailed at $3k & was on sale for $1500 which is what my hubby paid for this.

    How, in heaven's name, can one purchase upholstered or leather furniture - if, in fact, JCP has absolutely no availability of swatch(s) available - and NO stores to check out what furniture actually looks like, feels like, etc. This, IMO, is NO way to run a business or more importantly, be in the 'furniture-selling' business. I was told they do not have swatches and no place to check the furniture.

    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.
