      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.

      Received order and security tag was still attached. Was told I had to take item to nearest JCPENNEY to have removed. We do not even have a JCPENNEY. I asked for a refund and to be sent a replacement, I was told NO I had to bring into a store to have it removed. Due to their negligence I am supposed to travel to the nearest store to have the tag removed. This happens to multiple people I have spoken with. Customer support also told me they would mail me a device to remove the security tag. We all know that will not be happening , they do not send those to people. Very poor support and taking responsibility for their neglect.

      This is regarding an order placed October 9th on their website. On Oct 22nd I sent the email below to support at JCPenney dot com with no response as of today October 27th. Maybe that email is not valid. I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with an order I placed October 9th. While part of the order was shipped out on October 10th, the most critical itema pair of earrings meant to be a birthday giftwas not shipped until ************. Upon logging in to the website it states the earrings were shipped 10/09 (photo attached). Despite over a week later 10/18 receiving an email confirmation stating that the item had finally been shipped, the tracking information has yet to update, and the package has not arrived as of today, October 22nd. When I check the tracking number the last update was Oct 17th and it says awaiting carrier pickup. This delay has caused significant inconvenience, as the earrings were intended for a time-sensitive occasion. I have been a loyal JCPenney customer, but this experience has left me deeply disappointed. The lack of timely shipping and poor communication around tracking have seriously impacted my trust in your services.I would appreciate an immediate update on the status of my order and any steps you will take to rectify this situation. Your prompt attention to this matter is crucial.
