JCPenney is awful
March 14, 2023

I can get no customer service, the website says my order would cancel on March 1st it is the 14 th I can't get my refund. They expect me to drive over a hour to cancel it in person. Do not shop JCPenney especially the Prattville al location

I placed an order on line last week. It didn't fit so I returned everything. They received the return and charged me $24.95 for the return. I have been a card holder for many years with Penney's and never have I experienced such a thing before. Not only that, I called to pay the $24.95 just so it would not effect my credit and they told me I didn't have an account with them. I stayed on the phone for an hour till they found it. I cut up my credit card after this. I don't ever plan on shopping there again. This has to be illegal. They went Bankrupted in California. I reported this to channel 5 news. I'm sure they will have a field day with it.

Purchased a refrigerator from JC Penny with some hesitancy knowing I would have paid $100 dollars more at Best Buy or Home Depot. Very much regret it! They delivered with a major dent in the side which the delivery guys sure knew about but never mentioned it when they installed. I have been trying to get it replaced over the past two months. After 4 reschedules and miscellaneous excuses about why they could not deliver each time, they showed up on the fifth try. Of course the refrigerator they were going to replace was damaged even more than the original one. Why even show up?! So, now going on my sixth ridiculous try... Just buy from Best Buy or Home Depot and seriously do not waist your time. Good luck new CEO!

The kit includes 7 pieces. Scissors, nail file, tweezers and nippers, tweezers are very convenient, do not compare with others. Case fairly hard, leather-embossed Croc different colors with metallic trim, compact size slightly larger than the Palm of your hand. It can be placed anywhere, even on the shelf, at least in the bag. Zinger set conveniently take with you on a trip, because all it is complete it is quite light and will not cause any inconvenience. It is easy to open and it securely snaps to the lattice-itself does not open even if you fall. Inside with sleek mounts are placed six essential for manicure items.

Placed an order on 12/18 for home delivery. Order receipt stated delivery between 12/21 and 12/24. Follow up today (12/23) and UPS doesn't even have the order yet! Called customer service. He stated that since my order was placed on a Friday it wasn't processed until Monday. I asked if they worked processing orders the last weekend prior to Christmas and he said no. What retailer online or brick and mortar doesn't add staff and hours for the Christmas rush... He said they only work Monday through Friday - and my order will likely be delivered 12/28 - Swell - Thanks for nothing JC Penny. I will never shop online or in your store again. It's no wonder your business is floundering...

Vans
November 13, 2017

I had ordered a pair of vans online. I had no trouble ordering them until I received an email saying that they had to check the inventory. It did not say if they were out of stock, just "checking inventory" I received this email a total of 3 times. I decided that I would go to a separate store and just cancel my order. I called the customer service number and the woman was incredibly rude, she told me they were going to ship past the day they were to have been arrived at my house. They finally came days later and the box was torn to pieces, with a whole side missing, please for the love of god, save yourself the trouble and go elsewhere, really anywhere else.

I will never buy anything from this store.
And I invite you not to do it either they lie to their customers about their prices
I recently bought a makeup palette that they have for sale in their app and on the website for a price of $ 32 but when you make the payment they charge you $ 62. I call customer service so they can solve the problem. I was wasting my time. For an hour until they fixed. They made a new order with the established Sale price and then 2 days later they canceled my order because they said they had a pricing error in their system.
It is not fair for them to lie on price and cancel customer orders just because they have a bug in their system.

Lies Lies Lies
March 27, 2023

I had issues trying to figure out how to get my New Jcpenny card to work online and take advantage of the friends n family sales. It also stated additional savings up to $55 when i use my Jcpenny card. I called very next day to see if they could assist me in placing the order.first she said. Price changes daily and could not honor yesterday prices although i was frustrated in trying to order and secondly she say. There are no additional savings when you open a Jcpenny card. I told her i took hit on my credit report for Nothing you telling me? I also said the are advertising $20 off today when you use Jcpenny card or $15 off when you use any other card for payment. She said sorry for the inconvenience! Like are you kidding me? Thats it? I hung up!Wasting my time opening a card for Nothing!

I have shopped at JCP for 50+ years. I went today looking for a simple black dress. All the dresses were priced at $89. I was floored. Better dresses used to be $69. Even with a 25% discount it was still expensive. I guess my JCP shopping days are over.

$140.00 thrown away
August 23, 2023

Ordered $140.00 worth of HomeGoods. Noticed the address was wrong. Called Customer Service and was told it was too soon to change it and that Tiffany would flag my order and fix it. She didn't so my stuff went to the wrong address. Now I'm told it's too late to do anything. Guess I'm out of $140.00 worth of stuff!

I can always get what I ordered to be exactly what is pictured and the right fit. Usually pretty good sales. Shipping time is super fast. Customer service is super friendly. Whenever I have had a problem, (once) It was rectified immediately and courteously.

I've become somewhat addicted to shopping at jcpenney.com. They stock a large number of tall and plus sizes which aren't always carried in stores, and most of their clothes are well-made. I especially love the St. John's Bay t-shirts! It's easy to bring returns to the stores (at least, with a receipt - haven't tried without). And finally, if you wait for sales, you get great deals, especially if you are getting their $10 rewards for shopping there. I just found out how wide their online selection is, and I've started shopping for my husband and daughter there, too.

Worst store of USA
July 18, 2017

Worst Customer service of whole world. Wasted my money is one thing, said wasted more than 15 hours on customer service for one order, which should have gone through without a singel minute call. They just don't care.

My Go-To Store
March 22, 2016

If you've read some of my prior reviews, I'm in my early 60's; so what I might like would be dreadful for younger women. I know, because I was young once. JCP is my Go-To store for my clothes. Their prices are very reasonable, and JCP has a wide selection of clothes for different age groups and sizes. I'm on a fixed income now, so getting inexpensive clothes, at a moderate price is essential for me now. I don't buy shoes there, because I can't find the kind of shoes at the quality level I like-shoes should last a long time, so I'll buy elsewhere. JCP has a decent return policy, too. I buy dresses, jeans, T-shirts, casual and dressy shirts/tops, underwear, and sleepwear there. What more can I say-I've gone overboard already! Thank you!
