      Definitely not good service today and it made me realize why I dont shop at JCP. Purchased over $350 today in shoes and jewelry. I bought 4 separate necklaces. I kindly asked the cashier if she could put the necklaces in separate bags so they didnt tangle. She refused and said, we cant just be letting people steal our bags. If I hadnt needed these items I would not have bought any of it. I probably wont be back but if I do Ill bring my own bags since JCP seems to ration them

      On May 8th, I ordered a dress and was advised it would be delivered on May 14th. As of today May 21st the dress still has not shown up. I have contacted **************** on several occasions and received no help whatsoever. They referred me to *** which was supposed to deliver the package. I contacted them on several occasions as well and was advised the package would be delivered by ****. The **** has no package in their system. I am so frustrated with the whole system and am unable to speak with someone higher than the operator. These companies have no idea of the meaning of the word customer service. Never do business with any of them

      I bought a $54 product from **************************. I returned it with the help of a really nice customer service guy and he gave me a label for free shipping. When it came to my refund, I only got $37. I called again and got another guy who was super rude wasn't listening and didn't understand the situation. He was not able to explain where the rest of my money was. I asked to speak to a supervisor and was put on hold and finally had to hang up. I wish I had read their bad reviews before I purchased.

      I returned an item to ** Pennys and the tracking shows the company received it in April 4th. It is now April 25th and I have not been refunded! I made 2 calls to customer service and got 2 different answers. This is unacceptable! I will never do business with them again.

      The representative from the executive office called me and made things right immediately. I still will no longer purchase online with the company. I dont need another hassle.

      Placed a order that said it would be delivered no later than today, i called and cannot get any information from any customer care **** due to my wife calling before me and now they want to say Im not who I say I am? All I want to know is where my 1000+ dollar item is. Considering canceling my card and rewards account and never shopping with them again. Absolutely disgusting customer service.

      I purchased two sets of 600 count *** Claiborne ****** for a full size bed online before Christmas, to replace my sheets in the spring. When I opened the pack this spring, it contained twin sheets though the package clearly was labeled full. The second package of sheets had a large rip in the fitted sheet. Since these problems were manufacturing issues, I hoped the store would do an exchange, but they were no help. These sheets retail for $165 at the store. Though my purchase price was significantly less, this is a poor and honest reflection on *** ********* and the management of JCPennys.

      I have always shopped at jcpenney but they are making it increasingly difficult to buy from them. They never have what I want in stock anymore, they do offer to order it but if I was going to order it I would do it online. There are certain things you should check the fit on and this what they don't stock. I guess if they don't wake up chapter 13 waits for them, I don't want to see it happen but management needs to wake up. They used to carry items for younger men, middle age men and older men but those days are apparently gone and the ugly looking young men apparel won out.

      Great customer service in ***********. I lost my purse in Penneys while Christmas shopping. Several employees took much of their time to help me look for it. The general manager used the cameras, to see where all Id been in the store. Three hours later I found it. I cant say enough good things about the people there that helped me find it I had laid it down on a table of sweaters. A man named **** and the general manager were especially helpful.

      I will never order from JCP again. This is a dinosaur business that is trying to do online selling . The representatives are mostly overseas and information they have is completely different from the information JCPenney *** has. I ordered furniture and I had a terrible experience. Fortunately, I had paid with ******. I still do not have the furniture and the status is unknown. ****** checked into the matter and I was covered. When you buy a product from JCPenney, do not expect treatments like you get from ****** or ******* online. JCPenney has a long, long, long way to go before they can do online business.
