Ordered Nunn Bush Baker street oxfords on 6/15/16 @ 10:34 PM. Received email from JCP on 6/16/2016 with invoice number, tracking number and deliver expectation date of 6/24/16. Today, 6/23/16, I receive a snail mail correspondence from JCP to inform me that JCP is "unable to meet our commitment to ship all of the item on your order, the only item was the Nunn Bush shoes."
I called customer service and informed the representative that I have been checking daily the order status and it remains with an expected delivery of 6/24. I also informed rep it says on the notice to notify customer and has my correct mobile phone #, I have received no calls. The rep states "these thing happen," not the answer I was looking for. I needed these shoes by Monday and now I have to spend hours searching for a pair locally. JCP is still the pits when it comes to treating the customer right. No more JCP business from me.

Customer service specialist is a waste of time and money!!! I order mini blinds. 4 times I called back to order some optional parts which didn't come with my order. Nobody had any knowledge of their own product!!! They told me to return all the blinds!!!

For Father's Day, I recently purchased an item online and got it today, which was good since Father's Day is on Sunday. But, when I got home and opened the package, it was the wrong order. Instead of the apron I ordered, I got 2 pairs of pants. This was not my order so I returned to the store to see if I could get them to return the pants and get what I ordered. They told me that the apron I ordered was out of stock and that they made a mistake but there was nothing they could do for me.

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

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

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

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

So I placed an online order for some Parsons chair slip covers. The price was decent so I ordered 4 in the color linen. I completed the order on April 24th and expected the items to arrive in 3 to 5 business days. After 14 days of not receiving the slip covers, I logged into my PayPal account only to be informed that the order was cancelled. Apparently, the color I chose was out of stock. J.C. Penney didn't have the courtesy to notify me that the order was out of stock or that it had been cancelled. I would have selected another color if they had given me the chance. No worries, Target has what I need. For a company fighting to remain in business, one would think they'd take a look with improving their customer service.

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

It's not just once, it's 4th time and I swear to god. The credit card guys associated with JC Penney are the biggest buttheads you will ever talk to. I don't even have the capacity to write as it boils my blood thinking about them. They would hang up on you, anytime when they say, "We will be right back sir". I never got my 15% on the first buy. I had a bill amount of $294.28. They said the 15% would reflect in a few days and it never did. I called them again after the statement was generated and I was told to pay $250 something and rest will be credited.
Checked the statements back in February and called them as it still showed the outstanding. Same answers, 'Will be credited in next 48 hours'. Called them today, this guy hung up after making me wait for 10 minutes. Called them again and same thing, they hang up on you. Called them the 3rd time and this time this lady said she's credited my account back in December and not sure why wasn't it processed.

I used to be a loyal JC Penney shopper but these days I'd rather go elsewhere to shop than waiting in line for 45 minutes to check out. The store manager Ken was my cashier as the store runs on a bare-minimum skeleton crew - most departments don't even have a person overseeing it to assist customers. Either everyone quit all at once or its under poor management. Dressing rooms were filled with clothes left on the floors by some customers and several racks of clothes sit outside them waiting to be put away. The store in Clermont FL looks almost abandoned with the few employees trying running it. Looks like it's the next big box store that will close following Sears and KMart down the spiral whirlpool.

The worst experience I have had from Julie at citrus mall. I came to buy some Kitchen utensils for my new kitchen, and Julie came to ask if I needed any help, which was nice of her but I said I was OK. After 5 min she comes back and says "Oh you should buy this. It's good." I said "Thank you. If I need your help will ask (with a smile)." Then she goes to the till and comes back recommending what I should buy. This happened in a space of 20 minutes that she kept coming to me 4 time even after I told her I do not need her help. I had to tell her "I know what I need. I just need some space." She did not take it well and mumbled something. Anything I picked up she overlooked. Wherever I went she followed me. I really felt stalked and distressed. I had to leave the store immediately without buying anything. I will not recommend anyone to shop there...

I have been a customer of J.C. Penney for years. I placed an order on JCP.com from the Sportsfanshop on 4/1/2016 for 2 Alabama Crimson Tide T-Shirts. Received the confirmation email that my order was complete and through the email it was said that I would receive the package on 4/11/2016. Well that didn't happen at all. I received an email on 4/8/2016 at 11:07 pm informing me that my order was cancelled and I received no prior warning to why my order was cancelled. I called JCP.com on 4/9/2016 @ 7 am to get more insight on why my order was cancelled.
The customer service rep really couldn't explain so I asked to speak with her supervisor whose name was Pepper and she began to look at the order and couldn't find out what was going on so she noted my account about this problem and she said that she was going to put an email out to corporate about this problem and was told to call back on Monday 4/10/2016 to see if I could get more insight on the problem. Well I did get more insight after a few tries with customer service and to find out that the SKU number on the product didn't match which had nothing to do with me on my end so I asked why was I not notified of this problem and didn't get an answer. My problem is when you order a product you should be notified within 2 days if the order is not going to go through.
I ended up calling the Fanatics Shop on my own and found out they had the items in stock and they didn't understand what in the world JCP.com did. I should be compensated with something since I had to reorder the product and the reason I placed the order so soon because I know it can take some time if they don't have the product in stock and I know it is bad business not to communicate with a customer about an order that was placed through their company. I hate not to shop with J.C. Penney but this can not continue to go on! I ended reordering my product again and could not speed up the process. Why should I have to pay for something that I didn't do or is not my fault? I finally got my product on 4/15/2016 and I am so disgusted with this matter. I have felt betrayed by JCP because they have poor customer service of knowing their products. It is just sad!!

My husband purchased my engagement ring from J.C. Penney. The ring is a nightmare and I have had to bring it in for repairs 3 times. The band cracked twice and it tarnished. Customer service would not help me. The associates and Manager of the Woodbridge, NJ store were rude and of no help. I feel cheated! This ring is poor quality and I have NEVER encountered a Company with such poor customer service. Nor have I been treated like much needs as a customer are not important. No one offered me an exchange or credit. All I hear is "send it back and they will fix it". Too bad after 3 times it's still not fixed. I am disgusted that I can't wear my ring. Even more disgusted with a company that doesn't value a customer or the customer's money.

I am a long time J.C. Penney customer. I have been a platinum member for a few years now. I have in the past received the special coupons/passbook but for about the last 5 months or so I have not received any. I called the credit card folks and I was told that I should be at least receiving the book of coupons. I am now convinced that the postal service folks are taking them. I filed a complaint with them, so I am just waiting to hear from them. My question to the company is what are they going to do if anything to ensure that the right customers are getting their coupons. We shop and use our credit cards knowing there are perks but if we can't get our well deserve coupons, then what's the point? I am hoping there's a way to either package them differently or maybe even create something to where it can be loaded to a card or something like the grocery stores do.

Okay, so I bought 3 curtain panels from J.C. Penney online. First, the carrier left my package outside at the porch, (I live in building, so you can imagine...) as it is to be expected, it got lost (STOLEN). I contacted UPS regarding to the loss of my package, and UPS replied this to me: "Please be aware that your shipper sent the package using the SurePost service. These shipments are turned over to your local United States Postal Service for them to make the final delivery. Since we were not the the ones who delivered the package, we are unable to further look into this. If you have not received your package the next step would be to contact your shipper for assistance. Whenever there is a situation like this, the shipper prefers for you to contact them to follow up."
Okay, so the shipper in this case is J.C. Penney. I contacted J.C. Penney and I spoke to an agent via chat on JCP website. I explained to the agent what happened. She wanted to make me understand that the fault was not theirs, BUT when I copied and pasted to her what UPS sent me, she immediately offered to me a refund or place the order again. I decided to place the order again. I explained to her exactly what I bought with details, so there's no mistake. I said, I wanted the items to be shipped to my nearest store, and so it was... My mom went to the store in my place to pick up my package. When she arrived home, I immediately opened the package, and SURPRISE, wrong curtains. JCP did it again. I contacted JCP...AGAIN...this time I decided I wanted MY FULL REFUND, and so it was. They gave to me 2 rewards $10 each (for the inconvenience) at least, right.
Now, I want to use my rewards, and the link where is the code and serial numbers doesn't want to open. GOOD that I wrote it in a piece of paper. Now that I want to place my order they want me to pay more than $8 dollars in shipping even when I choose "ship to the store" and even when it clearly says "FREE shipping to the store." It was my 1st purchase on JCP and as you see it was a pretty bad experience. Now I need to wait until tomorrow, so I can chat with a JCP agent and I can ask to the agent, "why do I need to pay almost $9 dollars for the shipping even when I choose ship to the store." Let's see now...

I've been trying to get ahold of a REAL manager, not another "call center" supervisor or manager. No one knows what they are doing & the same issue has been going on for way too many months! People say they have my account fixed but it never stays "fixed" because it was only "fixed" on their screen for that second. I have never been able to log in after each person has fixed the issue & then I always have to go over the whole story again with each new person I speak with & THAT person sees that I am a new member when NO - in fact I have been a member for many months & it's just that reps have to keep making new accounts for me but no one ever puts in good notes & even if they do the next one doesn't read them.
There is no correct e-mail to get in touch with any kind of JC Penney help. Each one I've tried is always invalid & that includes corporate. At this point, I'm about to close my credit card & any account I have with them because it's more of a problem to be any kind of customer of theirs! One of THE WORST companies I've ever dealt with! They do not care about customer service. Just pass it on. My last order is probably going to be my last order - even the clothes were disappointing & now I have to return them.

Why not have 0 stars as an option? My odyssey started 3 weeks ago with a chain of lies by the White Marsh, MD store to lure me in, lowball me on prices and commit to the Renaissance bedroom collection with missing pieces - discovered 2 hours after agreeing to place the order. The truck came 2 weeks later without the night stand, box spring and mattress and the driver did not have the manifest. A chain of calls to "customer service" included a Sophia who was rude and told me "sir, I told you 3 times there was nothing I could do". Bad omen. I then spoke to an escalation rep in Milwaukee who promised a "coach" to oversee and call me next business day along with $$$ compensation upon delivery. One week later (3 weeks total) guess what? No call and there are no notes in the system from the escalation rep.
In the end I spoke to 2 different customer service people - including Sophia (drats!), got jerked around and demanded another escalation rep - enter Andrea. She simply ordered another box spring and mattress 3 weeks after my purchase to be delivered - hopefully 1-2 weeks later. She denied that $$$ compensations are provided only worthless gift cards. By the way the night stand is arriving today. Do not purchase furniture from this company!!!

On March 9, 2016 I placed an online purchase from J. C. Penney's. I receive an email confirming my order, then about 20 minutes later I got another email stating that I needed to contact customer care due to problems with my payment. So I immediately call customer care, but they were closed for the day. I live in PST Zone, so now I'm a little confuse because I knew the funds was available in my account.
The very next morning I'm reviewing my bank account and I see that I've 2 overdraft fees adding up to $75.00 and that's more than what my order was. So I contact my bank and found out that my bank blocked my bank card due to suspicious credit card activity. My bank stated that J C Penney's ran my bank card 3 times for a zero dollar amount, and then they ran it the fourth time for the dollar amount of my purchase, which was $56.37 and that's when my bank blocked my card, due this suspicious activity.
Now due to my card being blocked I had 1 automatic payment coming out of my account, which my bank paid but charged me the fee of $37.50, then Uber had to force charged my card for their fee, and that may my bank charge me another overdraft fee of $37.50. I called J C Penney's and told them what had taken place. I was transfer from one person to the next.
Finally I spoke with a representative that took the information and told me that they would do an investigation and contact me back. I waited 72 hours and no one contacted me back, so I call them back and got a rep that told me that there was no ticket create regarding this matter. So I was told again that they would create a ticket and look into this matter and someone would definitely contact me back. Well that didn't happen. I've spoken with at least 10 different people that works for J C Penney's, from customer care, customer relations to the corporate office, and still no resolution.
I have been told so many different stories and lies, so I finally got some in customer relations name Robert. He told me to fax in my bank statement and he would review my statement. So my question to him was that can he send me something in writing to state that upon receiving my fax that J C Penney's would reimburse me the fees I was charged by my bank due to them blocking my card because of the suspicious activity of J C Penney's running my bank card so many times. He told me he would email a statement asking for me to fax in my bank statement, but he will not put in there that J C Penney's would reimburse any fees. So my only option is to pursue legal action, where J C Penney's will have to do a full and thorough investigation that I'm sure will cost them more than the $75.00 I was asking to be reimburse me.

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

I have shopped at Penney's for years and years. I see now why they are going down the drain! I had ONE question to ask about an online order I was trying to place. First I contacted the chat line and she knew absolutely nothing although it was a very simple question. What is she there for and why are you paying her??? So I called on the phone with my little question. After 18 MINUTES on hold listening to the worst music I have ever heard, I finally hung up and logged in as a guest. If I didn't REALLY want this item, I would have just forgotten the whole thing and gone elsewhere. Also, I shopped in the store last week... or tried to... everything in the 'womens' department is shoved in like a thrift store and the merchandise is much the same as one! The tops were all covered in flowers and if they weren't they were the most horrendous looking stuff I have ever seen.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

But because I live an hour and a half away from the JCP we purchased the ring from, we took it to our local JCP and since it was so close to Christmas, the ring would take about 4-5 weeks for it to replace the missing stone.
I finally got a call that my ring was in, late Dec. But they didn't want to give it to me because it was not under my maiden name, but my married name, since we didn't foresee any problems before April, which is when we are getting married. But after calling the manager and figuring everything out, and showing them our receipt, we got it. But now my ring has another missing stone! It is Jan. 6!

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

Nowhere in the ad were there any exclusions mentioned. I will never trust Penney again. Probably shop at Walmart. They never pulled that on me.

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

Shopping for a toaster oven to give as gift 12/20/15. Had coupon for $10 off $10 or more and $10 bonus cash. Waited on line at least 30 mins. They wouldn't allow me to use either because it was electronics. Really?? A $40 toaster oven. Why give us bonus cash and then don't let us buy what we want??? I left it and got it for less at Walmart. No wonder they are gonna go out of business!! Hope they do. I'm not shopping there anymore. Been a customer since the 70's. Buh-bye. :-(

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

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

Placed an order on 11/30/15 for Christmas gifts. Received 3 items on 12/16/15. The 2 remaining items were back ordered on 12/2/15 and I received 3 different emails pushing the shipment date back. The new shipment date is "expected" to be 12/27/15, but not expected to receive items until after the new years! Corporate told me the item is available right now in the store. However I would have to pay full price and they would not honor the online sale, even though I already ordered this items online and have been waiting for them. I understand that inventory is low due to the holiday, but customers should be notified of this, prior to purchasing an item; especially around the holidays. Their website is still saying that the 2 items I ordered are available for delivery. VERY DECEIVING TO CUSTOMERS!!
I know that consumer affairs and Jcpenney corporate over do not care about the customer or doing right by the customer. So I do not expect anything to come from this review other than advising the people who keep these stores running to shop at a better business. I recently spoke to Torchee employee id ** from customer service whom disregarded my question and also with Cheryl from the corporate office. NEVER WILL I SHOP ONLINE OR IN-STORE AT JCPENNEY AGAIN. I have also left negative survey's on the unprofessionalism of their call rep and have not received a call back asking why I felt this way or what they could assist me with.

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

It STILL says available with an estimated shipping date of 12/18/15.
Finally, the customer service rep who cancelled my order was extremely rude. She must hate working for such a deceitful company. No apology. I asked her to file a complaint and the line went silent.

Talked to Mario and was transferred to Sophia. This was the wrong department, was transferred to Claudene, wrong department then was transferred to Emiley in the corporate office in Columbus OH for online services, because my credit card was charged on 11-19-2015 but the product didn't leave the manufacture until 11-23-2014, needless to say I was upset to be billed for something that wasn't made yet. Emiley did credit my credit card for 15% off due to the inconvenience, I was grateful for her actions and was told that if anything else was wrong to call back and anyone in corporate could help me.
In addition to all of this, prior to talking to Emily I was directed by JC Penney Customer Care in Milwaukee/furniture to call the trucking company myself and set up delivery date on 11-23-2015, I did, nobody answered the phone. On 11-24-2015, I tried to call the trucking company again, no answer.

I went to JCPenney on December 8, 2015 to return a pair of jeans Levi's and I went up to the jewelry counter and the young woman that was there by the name of Cristal. She asked me if I had a receipt and I said "No," but that I had bought the jeans about the first of the year but the tags were on jeans. She just needed to look on my card. She went back only 30 days. She told me since I didn't have a receipt she was going to put it on a gift card and I told her "No, put it on my JCPenney card." I told her "I have never had a problem returning anything back and putting it back on my card." So I ask for the manager and she call the manager and I do not know what the manager told her.
Anyway she tried running my card thru the machine and for some reason it wouldn't go thru and ran my driver license thru the machine. So Cristal left and not once did I notice that this young lady was upset or that I had said something to her. I stood there waiting on the manager and talking to another associate by the name of Anna and she was saying that she was going to apply at Bealls store because she wasn't happy working at JCPenny anymore. I asked her "Why?" She said "Jesse is not here anymore and the store manager that is here, is bad." I said "Wow." Well guess what? I found out how bad she is and her name is Jessica! Jessica is coming up to me with her phone in her hand and is telling me that is calling the Hobbs Police Department because she has a associate that is upset in the back.
I look at her and said "What?"

The mother of the young woman comes up to me and is telling me all kind of stuff when it was none of her business and I am looking at her like "Really?".
I am still on the phone waiting for someone to talk to from Corporate. Then the Police walk up to me and ask me what is going on and I told them "I don't know what is going on." Then the Police says that I was rude to one of the associates and I said "Really and they call you?" The store is giving me a criminal trespassing and I will not be able to come back to the store. So I talk to a man in corporate by the name of Sal and I am telling him everything that I can remember of the events and one of the police officers tells me that hopefully they won't be coming up there every time they can't handle a customer.
Let me tell you how embarrassing all this was for me, I have been a customer of JCPenney for over 20 years and to be treated this way for asking for the manager. I have never had a problem returning anything and all this was because of a pair of jeans. The manager has no customer service and the young woman has no business working with customers if she needs the police and her mother. I have read the reviews on JCPenney. GUESS WHAT? I really thought that SAL from corporate was going to do something about the situation and he didn't.
When Sal call me back, I was literally called a liar and I told him "I don't need to lie, because I don't you from Jack." I know there is a GOD and there will be justice. I will make one more attempt today and then GOD will take it! I talk to another woman by the name of Janine and she apologized for the treatment of the store to the corporate idiot name Sal.

When he went to process the order he found a third item was no longer in stock... So at that point I just requested that he cancel the entire order. He's more than glad to do that, as long as I call back on 12/08 and they request a search and file a claim for the merchandise against UPS. Meanwhile they still have my money, they know my shipment is lost and are making me call them back because it's their policy to give their shipping partner more time to get their act together.

But Penney's wants $85 to handle the service and will add a 25% surcharge to what Hunter Douglas charges. Now we are up to $332.61!

This is my first time I have ever filed a complaint about anything in my life. Although I have had more than my share of reasons to do so. I am just not that kind of person. I feel bad in a way, because this is not my thing. I believe in people and we all make mistakes, but I just cannot let this go this time. I am 40+, and in all these years, I have only met one honest hair stylist. That was over 20-years ago. Since then, I moved several times and was unable to continue doing business with her.
I had no idea how lucky I was to have met her. I believed that I had about a 50/50 chance of finding another hair stylist who knew their job. Boy was I wrong, but yet I still have hope and I believed there was someone out there who knew their job. I decided to give up on the small hair salons and try a big corporation. I believed they must be pretty good, because they were so successful. My daughter and I had been researching hair salons for about two weeks, because I was flying to Orlando Florida on 11/16/15 to meet my husband whom I have not seen in 8-months. He works out of the country and this was a business trip for him so we took advantage of the situation. He had many of his colleagues with him as well. So I wanted to impress them with a nice hair style.
I decided to go to JC Penney's hair salon. I called first to find out if she knew how to do a LOOSE SPIRAL PERM, and she reassured me that she had done many of them in the past. (Normally I ask for pictures of their work, but I was too overwhelmed with my trip, that I forgot.) Well by the time she was done, it was hard to tell what it really looked like, because it could not be blow dried. She did not even rinse the back next to my neck. That evening I caught my flight. I went from Orange County airport to Denver Colorado to switch planes. My hair was still wet. I went in the restroom to look at it and I ran my fingers through the back and it felt like a sponge and big handfuls of my hair was coming out. I noticed the back of my sweater had large amounts of hair on it, just from sitting on the plane and turning my head. I began to cry and I thought now I can relate to some of what cancer patients must feel like when going through chemotherapy.
By the time I made it to Orlando Florida, I went straight to my hotel. I felt I had no choice but to wash out what she left behind. My hair is very short, extremely frizzy and damaged and even when I try to get it to spiral, I end up with thick frizzy ugly hair. I was so embarrassed when I had to meet my husband and his colleagues. I told you this, because I just don't know what to do. I don't know where I go from here. I don't know what they teach hair stylist in school, but certainly it is not how to please their customers and how to be a success business professional. I believe a business can make it on one time customers, but they will flourish with repeat customers. They seem to forget that we are the reason they have any success at all. So I am asking you for your help. I hope and pray that someone can fix the damage so I can go in public without being ashamed and embarrassed.
I feel JC Penney's should be responsible for the cost. I don't know where to turn to or who I can trust anymore. I am hoping you have some good resources and will be honest and help guide me through this humiliation before Christmas 2015. I have not complained to anyone else or written bad reviews because I hope and pray this matter can be resolved with a little help. So please, will you help me. I would be so grateful.

I always write down my passwords so I know what they are however the next time I try to get back in, I'm once again told that my info is wrong and I can't log in. I have to hit FORGOT PASSWORD once again and then most of the time even their secret code won't let me in. I have been a long time customer but have been shopping with other retailers due to the relentless crap JCP puts me through. Ridiculous doesn't even touch their horrible lack of professionalism involving their online business practices.

Very disappointed with customers service, came with my friend to shop at J.C. Penney in PG mall. My friend forgot her wallet at the fitting room. Came in back in an hour and was totally gone. No one seems to help us to find it. It has all my friends important documents include her driving license, credit cards, gift cards and $200. All they tell us is that they can't help with that. I ask for the video to see they can find the person that took it and they refuse. Worst experience. Will never shop here again.

We ordered a crib when I was 5 months pregnant. We were told 3 weeks for delivery. We also ordered the matching dresser a week later, also told 3 weeks for delivery. I am now 6 1/2 months pregnant, and during that time, J.C. Penney has lost the dresser. We called the day after the delivery was to happen and THAT'S when J.C. Penney said they lost the dresser. J.C. Penney couldn't even call and give us the update. We had to cancel the order, and reorder the dresser. All the while the crib is waiting to be delivered from the warehouse so that both items can be delivered at the same time.
Well, they have found the first dresser that was lost and now has to be sent back to New Jersey before they can send the second dresser. J.C. Penney told us this will take another 2-3 weeks. We are highly upset with their customer service. We feel they don't care about their customers or their products they are trying to sell. Where is the quality control? Where is the training of the employees? Is J.C. Penney at a point where they don't care about anything?

For the holidays I need to purchase a lot of stuff so I applied for the credit card and was approved. I received 15 percent off only on the first day of shopping. It was 8:30 pm at night so I should have waited until the next day early so I had time to use it. On the items I did use it on I was excluded from using any other coupon with it. Their sales are very confusing and I am a stock broker. You get 25 percent off this but only 20 percent on that and if you use a different payment you lose 10 percent of the savings but this is only one certain item. I brought item after item to the register after waiting in line to hear that does not get the discount find something else. Ok 22 different items later the store was closing and I received 15 percent off one item.
I returned and tried to make this understandable but the items that would qualify for the discount that I could use were out of stock. Ok so they help me order online... I even get free shipping but all online orders do not get the discount so I then have to pay full price again... So much for saving money. I now spent more than I planned and only purchased two items. In my opinion there is a bait-and-switch going on and the discounts offered are only for items that you would not need during the holidays. I tried to print out the names of the items that the discounts do not apply to and I now have to carry four pages full of printed names before I shop. I just wanted to do my holiday shopping and give J.C. Penney my business as a single successful man. After this horror I decided to just shop elsewhere and was now willing to pay more just to get the damn item in hand.
The other problems you should know is when they say free shipping it is to the store... I could not get home shipping so a return trip is needed. Worst problem is when you call the corporate office to get the card closed or tell them about your problems. First time on hold 43 minutes... gave up. Called back 33 minutes...gave up. Third time was the charm only 42 minutes and they transferred my call and it was lost. I now see why their stock price has fallen so much. Im taking time to write this to warn others of the impending horrors by shopping here.

We later receive a call from J.C. Penney stating there are no damages to the mattress and hence they cannot do anything about the issue. I understand the mattress was not damaged visibly, but there is a reason why me and my wife both experience back pain sleeping on the mattress. Please beware buying anything from J.C. Penney.

First off I believe the decorator Jasmine ** has little or no experience or she just is not a good designer. She came in with her swatches and as I looked over and chose a few to work with and changed my mind and asked her opinion, all I really got from her was agreement. Not a real opinion or custom reason why I should or should not use one or the other. Luckily I knew pretty much what I wanted and made my choices with no professional input except measurements. I then placed my custom order on second visit to confirm my choices in mid-August of 2015.
The girl, her name Jasmine that claimed to be a custom decorator, took my agreed 1/2 down payment. When she took the check electronically through her iPad she hit something twice and was not sure if either time the check went through for payment. She called me a week later to inform me that she thinks it went through twice and said I should check with my bank and cancel one of the checks if it did which in itself was confusing. How could I cancel a check if it had been paid already? As it turned out I only saw my account the amount that the agreed amount was cleared and only withdrawn once from my account. My custom items were supposed to be in 6-8 weeks from the time of order which from mid-August 2015 would have been beginning of October 2015. When that time came around I started calling Jasmine and she said she was checking on the order.
Meanwhile a week or so passed and I get a call from her saying that part of my order was in, which were my window treatments and headboard. However my bedspread was on backorder with no word as to when it would be in or if they even carried that material any longer. I opted to just schedule the install for the materials that were shipped and ready to go because the install could not be scheduled until beginning of Nov 2015. So that left an entire month for her to sort out what was happening with my bedspread that came in the same material grouping as my window treatments. I told her that if they did not have bedspread I needed to order different window treatments and headboard material. She gave me a hard time about this.
I reminded her of her sales pitch to me the day she came over for first consultation was that J.C. Penney will take back anything if I am not satisfied. She quickly denied saying that, of course!!! She should have been checking on my order and why didn't she know earlier that this bedspread was back ordered or unavailable before they custom made everything else. Then to top that off, the day after I scheduled install I received a call from a credit collections agency stating that they were attempting to collect a debt from J.C. Penney.
As I tried to solve this problem I realized this stemmed from the check error she made when processing my partial payment which she made no notation of. So one of the times the check went through it was not canceled through her device properly and went on to be unpaid. I had to fax send in my bank information and copy of processed check from my bank to this credit agency to prove it had been withdrawn and paid to J.C. Penney. It is now Nov 2015 and I had to cancel the install because it is still not cleared up with J.C. Penney or with their credit collections agency. I have talked with the manager above Jasmine ** (salesperson **) and she said she would take care of it.
Clearly no one has done anything except the collections agency which are still trying to confirm I made a payment to J.C. Penney. I have been waiting since mid-August 2015 for window treatments and a bedspread and pillow shams and probably won't have any of it by the holidays and I'm still out over 2,000 dollars with a credit agency harassing me about a payment I made. I learned that J.C. Penney has check insurance of some kind in order to get custom things made even if a check is not honored. So it seems to me that Jasmine cashed the check herself and then apparently another agency pays J.C. Penney for funds and then send it to a credit agency for collection. BEST ADVICE STAY FROM J.C. PENNEY CUSTOM DECORATING AND A DESIGNER NAMED JASMINE ** out of Countryside mall Clearwater, Florida.

THE HISTORY OF HOW I OBTAINED A REFUND FROM JC PENNEY: Beginning in APRIL 2015, my mattress was found to be defective, and I was entitled to a replacement at no charge. Selection of a replacement was allowed in early MAY. The requirement, pay upfront $1,469.58 (charged to my JCP credit card) and within 5 days of JCP receiving my defective mattress I would be reimbursed. The defective and replacement exchange took place the last week of MAY. Early JUNE, there is no paperwork indicating JCP received the mattress. Since the mattress is not marked received, I cannot get a refund.
The last week in JUNE the defective mattress is found. A refund is credited on JUNE 24, but is not appearing in the JCP credit account. JUNE, JULY, AUGUST & SEPTEMBER, I have contacted store employees and phone representatives for the whereabouts of the refund. On JULY 27, I learned the refund was not credited to JCP, but deposited to a VISA account closed in 2012. Checking with VISA, they stated, no refund could have been received. The account was closed; therefore, it could not accept a refund. Regardless of the VISA evidence, JCP continues with their narrative, "VISA has the refund."
I contact the corporate office in early AUGUST, but can only reach the operator. I'm told to call the JCP Corporate Office, screener. The screeners recording states leave a message and your call will be returned. I receive no callback. Over many months in an attempt to get my refund, I visit the JCP store three times; called Furniture Corporate, Furniture Customer Care, Customer Relations, Customer Service, Synchrony, the JCP bank (receiving ROBO calls 4 X a day), file incident reports, file a formal written dispute, spent hours on the phone repeating my story and attempts to reach the store manager via conference calls with VISA and Synchrony.
The lack of cooperation from JCP did not deter me from seeking my refund. Beginning in SEPTEMBER, I sent letters to consumer advocates, Consumer Affairs, Better Business Bureau and The Office of The Attorney General. Finally, I received a call OCTOBER 9th from the JCP store manager. He has my refund, in cash and I can pick it up at the store.
After months, I find the sudden appearance of my refund was not because JCP realized a refund cannot be placed in a closed account, or that they accepted the written proof from VISA, or they suddenly saw the light, or the willingness to right a wrong. NO, the refund was prompted by the quick action (less than 3 days) from the Attorney General's Office. I did not accept the cash, I requested, the $1,469.58 be credited to the JCP account with the late fees and send me a hard copy that the account has been paid in full. With some reluctance the manager complied with my three requests. When I asked where they found the refund, his response, "IN CYBERSPACE."

I am filing this complaint about JC Penney. On September 24, I placed 9 orders online with JC Penny. On September 25, I received shipping confirmation and tracking numbers for 7 of those orders (I have both sets of these emails). The other 2 said that they were waiting on products to be transferred to ship them out. This never happened and the orders were later cancelled without reason and without my knowledge (to which the company was unapologetic and would not let me receive these items so I just gave up on those). On September 25, when the shipping confirmations were sent out, the money was taken from my bank account (not pending, removed. I have bank statements proving this).
It is now October 5, and I still have not received my items and the tracking numbers provided do not work (it says no tracking information available). This company took my money (as shown on bank statements between September 24 and 25) and I have doubts whether the items were EVER shipped. I want the items that I PAID FOR given to me as was agreed upon when I shopped at this site. I also want the business investigated for theft and fraud and a fine implemented to them. My main concern as of right now is to receive the items THAT I PAID FOR.
I spoke to a representative on October 7, 2015, who kept saying that all the orders were cancelled (despite saying shipped and with no notification of cancel) and that no charges were placed. I have PROOF that the money was withdrawn from my bank account and she said under no circumstance are you getting your items or a refund.. I told her: "so you marked the orders as shipped, never intended to ship them, and took the money out of the bank account. That is theft". She confirmed "yes", that is theft and that is what happened. Theft is illegal. She also confirmed that the tracking numbers they emailed customers were never intended to be tracking numbers, because they had no intentions of shipping products. That is also illegal.
I went onto various sites, including the JC Penney Facebook page and there are HUNDREDS of people having these issues, and JCP is continuing to deny customers refunds. They are also beginning to delete any comment and post on their page that references this theft. I want my items that I PAID FOR, shipped to me, a FULL refund, and the company investigated for fraud and theft, along with a fine implemented to them, and given the widespread nature of the CRIME that has taken place, if it is in your jurisdiction to launch a class action lawsuit, I request that as well.

I recently visited a JC Penney at Fallen Timbers in Maumee, Ohio. I was very excited because I had never been there before. It's actually a very far drive from my house. My mother has a charge card to this store, which has been used BY ME several times with my shown ID. Since the store is so far from my house, I had my mother call in advance to make sure I would be able to use the card because I am not a signer on the card. Upon arrival to the checkout line I had a cart full of items.
I approached the cash register and proceeded to check out. That's when a lady named Yvonne had to call customer service to verify that I would be able to use the card, even though I made it clear that my mother had called in advance and the last name on the card matched my ID. Yvonne left me standing in line for 15 minutes only to tell me rudely that I wouldn't be able to use the card. This ordeal was ridiculous to me and unfortunately this establishment will not be receiving my money in the future. Yvonne is in need of a reality check and you should clarify the card's "rules" to every employee so that people won't be as disappointed as I was. Thanks.

My last experience with JC Penney was the worst experience I have ever had with a business! I saw an item (flat iron) for sale on the JC Penney website and saw that it was in stock at my local store. I went into the store to buy it and it rang up as a different price in the store (about $50 more in-store). I showed the cashier the advertised price online, and the not-so-helpful lady told me in a matter-of-fact manner that JC Penney stores do not price match their website. I thought this was a bit odd, but said okay thank you and decided to buy it online. HUGE MISTAKE!
First of all, my order (which was supposed to take 4-7 business days to arrive) somehow never shipped. Yet every time I called customer service, the rude people told me that my order had shipped and was on the way. Keep in mind that I frequently checked the website, which still said the item had yet to ship. Finally, about a month later, I talked to a person at customer service who told me that not only do the stores price match! I asked to cancel my order but the guy told me it had already shipped, so I could not cancel it.
After speaking to the manager of my local JC Penney store, she was very apologetic (the best part of this whole experience), and allowed me to come into the store to buy the flat iron for the price I had bought it for online. I asked about the item and she said that I could come in when it arrived and cancel it to get my money back. Well, another month passed and still no sign of the flat iron and the tracking on JC Penney's website still said it was pending shipment. I called JC Penney back and spoke to yet another representative. However, this lady told me that for some reason my order had never shipped. I asked her to cancel it and she told me that she would put in a request to cancel it and I should have my money in 7-10 business days.
A couple more weeks pass and I still did not receive my refund so I called back. Another lady told me that no one had put in a request so she would put one in and I would get my money back in 3-5 business days. Even more weeks pass and I finally call JC Penney again, only to be stuck on hold for over 30 minutes. Finally, I decided enough was enough and put in a complaint with the BBB. It was not until then that I received a refund back to my checking account. It is completely ridiculous that it had to come to that for me to receive my money back for a product that never even shipped! It is ridiculous that so many people LIED to me. It is ridiculous that such an old (and at one point prestigious) company would treat a customer in this way. After this experience, I will never shop at JC Penney again, at least not for some time.

I purchased a chair from J.C. Penney in March. It was a special order, so I had to pay for it before it would be built or delivered. It was delivered to me as promised, but after using the chair for just a couple months, from March until June, the cushion started sagging to one side, and was bad enough that it started to bother my back. I called their customer service and was treated very rudely. After several calls and escalations, I finally got a service call scheduled. After waiting 4 weeks for the service call, the "technician" showed up, took pictures of the chair, and left. My complaint was that the chair cushion sagged, but he did not sit in the chair or ask me any questions about the chair. I was told that the technician would repair the chair when he came, so when he just took pictures I thought he would go back to the store and let them know that it needed to be brought in. He told me I'd hear in 7-10 business days.
After 2 weeks I called, and was told that nothing would be done with my chair, because the "technician" found nothing wrong with the chair. After trying to talk with someone who cared, I finally got the phone number for corporate complaints, and registered my concerns with them. I told them if they can't fix the chair, that I would return it. My return call from corporate complaints was a voicemail advising me that if I return the chair I will get less than 1/2 my investment back. They will not repair the chair because the "technician's" report says that it is normal for some sagging on the handle side of the seat.

So my husband called today to finish the rest of the orders and they were very rude and said no they could not finish the orders even though they had told him the night before it would be no problem and he had them promise and the lady told him that their call was recorded and that she would have to do what she told him. So my husband called corporate where they told him they would not put those transaction through and that they have cancelled everyone's orders but here is the worst thing about this is they have cancelled my orders but never refunded my money for those 28 orders. And the lady would not go back and listen to the recording of what they told him. They tried to make us feel bad for using the coupon in the first place when they knew what was going on all along.

I ordered two items from JC Penney, and both were disappointing. But they were dirt cheap, so that in itself would not have inspired me to write in. You get what you pay for after all. My issue is the difficulty of returns. They do not include a return label. Not a free one (as has pretty much become the norm everywhere else) and not even one where they deduct postage from the refund. This makes returns very difficult. My assumption that this otherwise ridiculous policy must be an attempt to discourage returns, but in fact, as virtually every other retailer encloses a label nowadays, it is most likely to discourage future orders. Certainly it will for me. Furthermore, when I went online just now to find a way to email or chat with customer service, to see if there is some solution, I found that YOU CAN'T. Again, JC Penney, you are the only retailer I know that doesn't make this possible.

On August 25, 2015, I placed my first order online with JCP. I set the 4 items (2 khaki pleated uniform skirts and 2 khaki pairs of boys uniform shorts) to be delivered to the Meyerland Plaza store for customer pickup. Items are to be ready for pick-up within 5-7 days according to the website. On Sept. 9, I received a pre-recorded message stating that my order was ready for pickup and that I only had 10 days to pick it up. The store is located about a 30-minute drive from my house but I drove to get the items that same day.
I arrived at the store and was helped by a young pregnant woman. When she retrieved my package from the back, it seemed too small for all 4 items so I asked if I could open the packaging and she said yes. I did so to find only the 2 skirts. She stated that's all they had. I was upset because the arrival of these items had already surpassed the 5-7 day delivery period and now it was incomplete. She asked if I wanted her to call the warehouse and I said yes.
I was placed on the phone with another woman who apologized and said that she showed that the items were put on the truck and should be at the store as of the day prior to my arrival. The lady at the store stated otherwise and said that the computer showed an "S" next to the shorts, meaning "short supply" so I once again spoke with the representative on the phone who then assured me that she would have the 2 pairs of shorts overnighted to my home but since it was a Friday, I should anticipate their arrival on Monday. She changed the original order number to a new order number ** so it looked as though the order had just been placed on 9/11/2015. I left upset but dealt with the fact that at least I wouldn't have to drive out to the store again and that the shorts would arrive on Monday.
For the remainder of the day, at least 4 emails appeared across my cell phone stating different arrival dates for these shorts. At 4 p.m. CST, I called the customer service number and asked to speak with a supervisor. At this point, I was very upset. I went through the entire scenario again and asked that at this point, my order be cancelled. It was not about the purchase, the money, it was the principle of the matter and there is way too much retail competition out there for this to be happening. The woman apologized and stated that she would look into it further and contact me back regarding a refund. Well as anticipated, that never happened. Let me add that each call to the customer service number, included a hold time of at the very least 20 minutes of a prerecorded message before ever speaking with someone.
I had already made 3 prior calls and by the time someone actually answers, the situation escalates out of mere frustration. So no one ever called me; no refund was ever made and then, on Sept 19, the two pairs of shorts arrive to my front door. Aug. 25 all the way to Sep. 19 in my books IS NOT a 5-7 day delivery. The entire process was not customer service friendly. If your stock is low, how about being forthcoming with the general public so we have the option to go elsewhere for the same item(s)? I WILL NEVER SHOP AT JCP AGAIN.

I recently placed an order with JC Penney online and this will be my first and last time. I ordered a few nightgowns, and bras. When I received my order, everything else was fine but, the bras ran extremely small. So I shipped it back, and was told I would receive a refund once the item was received. It's been nearly a month. The shipped back item was received nearly 3 weeks ago (according to UPS tracking) - and no refund. My issue is not so much getting my back my 15 dollars (even though that would be nice), my issue is more the lack of care they show to their customers. I've spoken to countless C.S. representatives, and they either dismissed me and told me my refund was on the way, or told me to talk to the bank.

I purchased a chair from J.C. Penney in March. It was a special order, so I had to pay for it before it would be built or delivered. It was delivered to me as promised, but after using the chair for just a couple months, from March until June, the cushion started sagging to one side, and was bad enough that it started to bother my back. I called their customer service and was treated very rudely. After several calls and escalations, I finally got a service call scheduled. After waiting 4 weeks for the service call, the "technician" showed up, took pictures of the chair, and left. My complaint was that the chair cushion sagged, but he did not a sit in the chair or ask me any questions about the chair. I was told that the technician would repair the chair when he came, so when he just took pictures I thought he would go back to the store and let them know that it needed to be brought in. He told me I'd hear in 7-10 business days.
After 2 weeks I called, and was told that nothing would be done with my chair, because the "technician" found nothing wrong with the chair. After trying to talk with someone who cared, I finally got the phone number for corporate complaints, and registered my concerns with them. I told them if they can't fix the chair, that I would return it. My return call from corporate complaints was a voicemail advising me that if I return the chair I will get less than 1/2 my investment back. They will not repair the chair because the "technician's" report says that it is normal for some sagging on the handle side of the seat.
I can understand that it would be normal after years, but if after sitting in the chair for about 3 months it sags, there is something wrong with the build of the chair. Oh, and I don't sit in it all day. I work and watch TV in the evening for a couple hours, and that's when I sit in the chair. So there are maybe a couple hundred hours in the chair. So my warning is that J.C. Penney does not stand behind their furniture products. I have experienced nothing but frustration and perhaps the worst customer service in history. I am left with a chair I don't want to use because it is very hard on my back with the sagging side.

Eleven months after ordering a sofa and chair from JCP, the product was in poor condition. I thought I was stuck with it until a random convo with a JCP salesman prompted me to call about my warranty. I started the claim probably three weeks before the warranty was up. Replacement pillows were sent that did not fit properly. I contacted the store again and was told that because the issue was not resolved before the year was up, JCP would not refund my money. Their only option was to send me another set of replacement pillows like the first ones that were unsatisfactory. I was not comfortable with the product or the replacement product.
I spoke to several people and each of them had a different understanding of their store policy. One rep actually told me that the warranty started the day I purchase the furniture even thought it was eight weeks before I received it. That doesn't even make sense and sounds illegal. I'm so disappointed. Please do not waste your money with this retailer. You will regret it.

I am a retired associate and I shop at Penney often. Yesterday went there looking for shorts for my husband and they did not have his size. Went to another store in the Mall and returned to JCP to look for some things for me. Went to counter, asked sales girl if she could watch my packages - I wanted to go get a belt for my husband. She said since they were from a different store that she could not. I said "really, I just need to go get a belt." She said no that she could not. When I worked there customer service was number 1. This store has gone from good to worse in the sales people to the way they dress to the help one receives. I don't shop there that much but now I will stay away and shop elsewhere.

I would give JC Penney's zero stars if I could but had to give one star as the lowest. I tried placing an online order and it zeroed out my $100 gift cards with no explanation. I couldn't place the order so I called the order in and placed it over the phone. I was told they would charge my credit card $21.84 (and I have an email from Penney's stating this as well). When I checked my credit card statement - I had a total of 8 separate charges totaling $130.00.. and counting. I have spent over 3 hours of my time with first customer service and then customer relations being told MANY different things and false promises. Robin in consumer relations told me she would manually credit my card the full wrong amount almost 2 weeks ago and has not done so. Apparently after my 30 minute phone call with her today - she is not going to do it at all now and is totally going back on every part of our conversation we had previously.
I have never been so frustrated with a company before. Right now they have overcharged me $120.00+ and are refusing to refund it to me. Robin could not understand the simple math as to HOW they were overcharging me and only got mad and just rambled on and on about nothing having to do with this overcharge. I have had to do charge backs on my credit card so we will see where this will lead. Total waste of time, dealing with idiots in their customer service department - DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING FROM JC PENNEY'S. NOT WORTH IT!

On August 19 I purchased a Sealy® Avery Euro Pillow-Top - Mattress for my niece in IN. The reply e-mail stated she would be contacted prior to September 8 to set up a delivery date. She was never contacted. I contacted their customer service department today at approximately 9am CST. I was placed on hold for approximately 20 minutes. The representative that took my call stated she would connect me with the furniture division and once again I was placed on hold. Wait time - 10 minutes. When I was finally connected I spoke to a representative that stated the bed was waiting at MXD Delivery and their delivery service had attempted to make contact with my niece but received no answer.
I was given the number and called them immediately. I spoke with a representative who stated that JCPenney had provided me false information. She stated the merchandise had left JCPenney on August 31 but they had no way of tracking where the merchandise was currently located. Afterward I re-contacted JCPenney furniture division after approximately 15 minutes being placed on hold and spoke with a representative that stated the merchandise was in transit. I SPECIFICALLY asked him to tell me the current location of the merchandise. He stated he could not provide this information and stated he could only tell me it was in transit.
I asked to speak to his supervisor. I requested the same information. She was very patronizing and said she could not provide the location of the merchandise. In other words - they lost the mattress and have no way of knowing where, when, or if the mattress will be delivered. I understand companies will do everything they can to prevent losses but this is beyond exasperating.
In all the years I've shipped items I can honestly say this has never happened. Instead of continuing a circular argument receiving no answers from the "supervisor", I demanded their corporate number. When I was finally connected I was told that the problem would be escalated and I would receive an answer within a week. I demanded that I, or my niece be contacted by the close of business today in order to remedy the situation.
Considering the ineptitude I encountered with this problem I decided I would find an e-mail and/or physical address and write their corporate headquarters with my concern. I was not given this information when I spoke to the corporate representative initially. I was finally connected with yet another CSR that stated her computer screens weren't operating and she would connect me with their delivery service. Basically to make a long story short - CAVEAT EMPTOR!! This company will not/cannot provide any assistance when you purchase an item online. They refuse to call this lost merchandise although they can provide no transit information after being shipped out 10 days ago. I am very angry and hope that this experience will save others with needless frustration.

I do not even know where to start. We ordered the Charcoal Oliver sofa last spring, and it was supposed to arrive in June, but sometime in early June the order was cancelled (I called and was told it was not our fault, it was a "systems error"). No one bothered to tell us that our sofa was not coming, mind you, I had to make the call. When I did call in late June, expressing surprise that the sofa had not yet come, I was told that the order had been cancelled from their end, but that if I still wanted the sofa, they could still give it to me at the sale price. I agreed, and the sofa was supposed to come in August.
On August 10, I received an email that said the sofa was coming in a few days, but when it did not come, I called because this time we were actually charged for the sofa/ transport ($740). We were told that the sofa had left the warehouse, but disappeared somewhere between the warehouse and our home. I was told that it would take up to 8 weeks for us to get our $ back.
I called my bank, and was told that that was silly - after all, we were paying interest for the purchase. I called back JCP and after much arguing, was told that we would get our money back in 4 days. Well, it has been three weeks now, and no sign of our $. I had our credit card put a stop on the payment, and I will let them take care of it from here on out. I do not know why I trusted a company that could not even deliver a sofa (twice!) to refund me my money, but there you have it. I have a full-time job and five kids. I don't have time for this nonsense. I will NEVER shop from JCP again; hello Macy's.

I purchased a bathing suit prior to going on my vacation to Sanibel Island, FL. When I got to the island I discovered that the security tag was still on. The nearest J.C. Penney store was over 35 miles away. The toll to get on the island was $6.00. The gas to get there and back was an added expense. I first tried several stores on the island but they could not remove the tag. The expense was one thing -- gas and tolls -- but the time I lost traveling to the store and back cannot be replaced. Seriously! Is it not the sales associate's job to remove the tags? Compensation in the form of a gift card would be a small compensation. Not to mention my husband and children's loss of vacation time as well. Not a good to way to start off a vacation that we had planned for over 2 years.

The person who took my order put a wrong billing address and NAME! She told me there was an item available, but it wasn't that item! I had ordered it before but they had told me it wasn't available... But they still have it as available in their website!
The Spanish speaking employees can't be understood well. They make a lot of mistakes! I placed my order through the phone since the website doesn't work. Then I noticed in my invoice that was sent to my email that they had written the wrong name and address in my billing address. I wanted to add to my order and I called and they told me I couldn't. I called two hours after I placed the order more or less. I wanted to purchase more with a 30% off coupon, but was unable because they told me I couldn't.
They also told me the order was going to be unable to be processed because of the billing address. So I asked if it could be cancelled so I could place another order with more items so I could use the 30% coupon. And, they said they couldn't cancel. The order was placed that same day???!!! I called the next day and the same person spoke to me and told me that in fact the order was being processed???!!! I will wait and see if it arrives. But if JCP's service doesn't change for the better I will not purchase anymore.

I placed an order with J.C. Penney and canceled it 20 minutes later due to some negative reviews I read on Google about the quality of the mattress. I was assured by the lady I spoke with that the charge would be reversed within 48 hours if it did show up on my credit card at all. The charge did show up and to make a very long story short, I had to call J.C. Penney a total of 13 times to cancel my order because they failed. Each time I talked to someone, they tried to ship the order, which I refused, they failed to issue the credit and I had to dispute the charge with my credit card company. I spoke with only two helpful representatives the entire time. The only one who knew how to reverse the charge was Toshia, but for some reason it still did not show up on my credit card so I took matters into my own hands.
All the other reps there failed to document what I asked them to. Monte, a Supervisor, was extremely rude and condescending and has no place in customer service and should be fired or demoted. J.C. Penney has seriously failed to rectify my situation and has lost a long time customer. They need to look at the way they document things when people call for assistance and they need to screen all of their phone calls and make improvements where necessary. I will also be reporting them to the Better Business Bureau for failing to issue my credit in a timely manner.

My appt was at 9:30 am.
Too bad for me... One JC Penney employee offered to help, but someone else called the store manager to tell me the same thing that 3 others had already told me, they did not intend to assist me in any way. I had to sit down on the floor in the entrance and was calling the other salon to ask for their help and the store mgr... (At least he said he was. Had a 3 day growth of beard and looked ominous and not at all professional) came out into the entrance area where I was and literally started yelling at me about, once again, I could not go through the store until 10.
This was at 9:30 am. I told him I was on SS disability and he told me he did not care at all about that. He approached closer to me and again said that security would not let him or anyone else escort me or even help me get up. He had the other salon's phone # on a piece of paper and I told him I was holding on the phone with them and did not need it, so he threw it at me. By then I got someone on the phone in the other salon and cancelled my appt. I am very upset at being treated this way. I am 65 and on SS disability due to several things but mostly because I have a hard time walking much distance.

I work at the J.C. Penney store in NH and I have been there for over 10 years. In that 10 years I have seen this store's business decline and I have seen a lot of employees let go for no reason but to SAVE MONEY. We work with skeleton crews and they expect us to get credit applications (MOST IMPORTANT TO THEM), TRY to give good customer service but cannot because there is not enough help there to do everything. We must ring out customers, straighten clothes, clean fitting rooms, dust racks, answer phones, do catalog orders (used to be a catalog dept for that, but that went too), retrieve catalog orders, help customers find things, straighten out the work area, do returns, and other numerous things. Sometimes one person has to do all this alone, and the pay is way below average. After over ten years, I still make about 9.00 p.h. for all this, my children make more than I do doing less.
They say customer service is important but if it was, they would have more help so we can give good customer service, You can't do that when you have ten things to do at once. The ALMIGHTY CREDIT APPLICATION is all that matters to them. You are expected to get so many per week, does not matter if every customer you waited on already had the card, they want you to pull one out of a hat I guess!! Your performance report, IF you get a so called raise (probably 5 cents), is solely based on how many credit apps or catalog referrals you got. Not enough apps, no raise!! Oh, one year I did get a 2 cent raise. Well you know what they can do with that two cents don't ya!! Nothing is mentioned about your hard work, or how you are always on time, rarely absent, how dependable you are, none of that matters and is not mentioned on your performance report. It's all based on your credit apps which is totally wrong.
What about great customer service we give, does that not account for anything? Seems not at this store, or any Penney's probably. I am getting tired of managers walking around doing nothing but asking if you have a credit app yet. Ya know what J.C. PENNEY - people are getting tired of being asked to open a card. People even tell me they already have a card when they get to the register so I won't ask them. It is very annoying to them. It's very annoying to me not to be shown some recognition for the good things I do there, even if I don't get as many apps as they want. They do not appreciate good help and a lot of good people have left for that reason, I'm on that leaving soon list. The store is just becoming impossible to work at and it's just havoc all the time because there is not enough help. You pay people PENNIES and expect them to work like dogs, even worse.
Do Not work at this place, you will be very unhappy and not appreciated unless you get about 50 credit apps a month. Then you will get your minute of fame and glory, and a one dollar bill for your efforts!! Worse place to work and VERY low wages, and you all thought Walmart was bad!! At least you don't have to BEG people to open credit cards there. That is what Penney's expects you to do!

After 45 minutes on the phone with JCP they confirmed that yes I should have received the rail, but it was too long ago to do anything.

After a back and forth I was told they would get in touch with the manufacturer and help me replace the part. The manufacturer had the part but would not issue the credit as it was the fault of JCP. But of course now I am no longer connected to JCP and need to call back. I call back and spend 25 more minutes with the next person to get to the same place. She puts me on hold to speak with her supervisor and I am DISCONNECTED!!! So I call back AGAIN. Now I spend 37 minutes to find out that because there was no note written about me getting the credit that they would not give the $34 credit for the rail. I asked the woman if she was familiar with Whole Foods Market, she said she was and I told her to take a lesson from them in proper customer service.
I explained that I would've spent another $700 in 3-4 years for my daughter's next bedroom set not to mention all her clothes and Christmas gifts over the years, but she just threw that sale away over $34. She put me on hold one last time for 3 minutes, came back and said a final "no". Needless to say I hung up on her without any thank you or goodbye. I am DISGUSTED by this level of service.

She had no excuse why everything on that rack was originally $30.00 and $34.00. Complete False Advertising. Will never enter another JC Penney's store. Their quality has gone down, prices have gone up and they have no idea what Customer Service is.

I purchased some clothing online and realized only after, that I had gotten the wrong size. I called customer service immediately, to see if I could cancel the order. Apparently you are unable to cancel orders, on anything, at anytime and have to wait to receive the product, only to return it to a J.C. Penney store. I think that's silly and pointless. Why not just cancel it on their end and return the money to my account. Now I have to wait a week for something I don't want, return it where I probably won't be refunded shipping and handling, just to purchase the correct size later.

Do not buy anything from JCP.com, they do not care or are incompetent, and can not deliver the product we ordered! Order process, I was quoted a price on a nursing glider chair with a 20% discount and free delivery, but I was charged full price plus delivery ($75). I finally, after several calls, got a 20% credit applied, but had to pay delivery!
I requested delivery to my daughter's home address instead of my home address since it was a gift for my granddaughter (who was expecting) and since we would be out of town on expected delivery date. I got an email with delivery to my home address and I called again several times to assure they had my daughter's address? Sure enough, while we were out of town, they attempted to deliver twice to my home. When we got home, there were several calls from delivery company, and so, in desperation to get chair, I accepted delivery to my home. Of course, then it was up to me to deliver chair to my daughter, after I was charged $75!
When we finally unpacked chair, it was not the adult size chair we ordered (32.5 X 36 X 35), but a child size chair (26 X 26 X 24)! This was a nightmare that never ended. The new baby was now born, we needed the chair. It was a least a two month process to return and receive another, so we were forced to keep! Eventually, again several phone calls, got a credit for $85, but this was a totally unacceptable process. Let buyer beware!
