I have been in the JCPenney Salon working as a Salon Manager. Those of us that worked through the bankruptcy, pandemic (put on furlow 3 times) and our location had an arsonist start 10 fires in our building to which they had to repair (shut down and back on furlow) have had a lot of challenges at our sf bay area location. Supervisors unfortunately have a...

The manager, JEFF at the Woodland Mall JCPenney in Grand Rapids Michigan literally hung up on me after I called wondering where my order was after not hearing anything for a month! He was rude, and then even said something horrible about me as I left the building, literally wishing something horrible to happen to me on my way home! someone like that should...

I go to Penney's here in Canton a fair amount and the way the run that store is very professional. There is a manager there, an older blonde-haired woman, and she is very good at what she does. She gets the most out of her worker's and they seem very much on board. But I am specifically writing about a woman there named Lauren. She has helped me a couple...

Couple weeks back, I took a pair of earrings I purchased for myself because I never owned a good quality pair. After only wearing them 2 times, I realized the one earring did not close as tightly as the other. Once I felt it fall in my lap at home and the second time, out with a friend, she stated the ring was on my shoulder. So, I went to j.C. Penney to...

Purchased sweat pants for my husband a while back and they were/are too big. Attempted to exchange them today and was told without the receipt I had to have original payment form. I am sure that I used my debit card to pay for them. I no longer have that card as it got damaged and had to be replaced. Before I went to the store to exchange them I checked...

I was in the store Sunday. 8/6/23 The casher was not friendly at all. She was trying to convince me to apply for the credit card. When I declined it, it went downhill from there. She was not a good representee of the store. I was in the store buying school clothes for my niece. I felt like taking everything back. She left one of those tag with the ink on...

JC Penney Gold chain

I ordered a 24 inch 14k gold chain online, but the length I received is 22 inches. I will never buy anything from JC Penny again. I called customer service, and was informed that I waited to late for a exchange or refund, even though the tags are still on the chain. I ordered the chain in April 2023. I was going to wear the chain today, and noticed that it was shorter than my other 24 inch chain. JC Penny has lost me as a customer.

Desired outcome: To receive the correct length chain

JC Penney First order was lost in the mail had to reorder. Still placed a second order and Sent merchandise to a state I never lived and had to reorder again.

Not happy with the customer service at this time each time I had take more money out to reorder merchandise and wait for 5-7 days for the refund to be put back in my account . I am a senior citizen and can’t afford to keep doing this. I used to love shopping at JCPenney but my present experience with shopping with your company has caused me to think about shopping elsewhere.

JC Penney Instant pot 6 qt pressure cooker and fryer.

Hello. My name is Kim G. My email is [protected]@yahoo.com. I am asking for an manager to consider to look into issue.

Why? Because I called and asked if they would honor their ad of 30% off, code HotDeal. If not honor then I am asking one of the manager took into why a customer would be confused. I had search and found this item 7800165. When I google, it says the item cost $149.99. When I clicked on your store site to compare this product with other store. I noticed it says "Extra 30% off" and "Back to school rush! Extra 30% off". The code says: Hot Deal.

So comparing the Best Buy of $149.99 and JCPenny $149.99, I thought JCPenny has the better deal because it says on top of the website 30% off. There is no where on that website, that I am receiving 50% off and therefore the Hot Deal is only $15.00 off. The first explanation was its 10%. The second explanation the Hot Deal only applies to selected items, even thou when I check out, it accepted the Hot Deal code of 30%, but only took off $15.00. Then the third explanation, was something about black Friday. I am trying to understand what special is this item under 10% off, 30% off, or 60% off? I am a single mom who is trying to save my every way possible. I appreciate Your time reading this and hopefully consider my request to resolve this issue. I am going by your store site says. Thank you! Kim.

Desired outcome: I would like the manager(s) to understand how confusing this is and maybe advertise differently. I would like come kind of compensation? If possible?

JC Penney False advertising when buying 5 year service contract on ge dishwasher purchased inside store

We purchased five appliances 9/2018 at the JC Penney, Shackleford Rd, Little Rock AR,

store. Our protection plan was for five years, ending in 9/2023. We called for repairs on our GE dishwasher today, 7/10/2023. The dishwasher start smelling like melted plastic and shut off. When we tried to restart it, the electrical panel in our home shut it off. When calling the service contractors for the appliance, we were told our contract only pays up to $425 on the dishwasher. And repairs would cost more. This should have been explained when we purchased the appliance protection agreement. I feel we were misled when purchasing everything.

Desired outcome: Repairs to our GE dishwasher or it replaced.

I witnessed a salon employee be disciplined simply because she was black, overheard her being talked to in the mangers office while in the salon receiving a hair service. This is unacceptable and disgusting, I can’t believe my own ears having to hear the conversation over someone’s skin color, absolutely outraged at this. I will not longer be spending my time and money in and jcpenneys again.

JC Penney Customer service person I spoke to on the telephone

I called your customer service telephone number yesterday June 22 whatever the date is I just wanted to order one dress and they did not have it in any stores close to my house but the shipping charge was nine dollars which I am not going to pay. I explain this to the customer service rep. They put me on hold for like 510 minutes which I'm sure they weren't checking with anyone just hoping I would hang up, I am a valuable loyal Jc Penney, Jc Penney customer for over 40 years. I am a red card holder or black card whichever is the highest and I cannot believe that they would not waive a shipping charge for me of nine dollars. It makes me not want to shop at Jc Penney anymore and I really like the women's petite selection there. I think this is terrible your customer service people I called twice , they sounded half-asleep. I couldn't understand one at all because their English was so bad. Is this what I have to expect from the future I'll shop somewhere else.

Desired outcome: I would like my account credited for nine dollars. My telephone number is [protected]. My name is Nancy Nicholas.

I recently shopped at your store and had a very bad experience. The signs were deliberately misleading to get you to buy something at a higher price. We found a sign that advertised $169.99 for slacks and a jacket. After trying on several items from that rack, we found some that fit and proceeded to the checkout counter. The price was over $300. There was a...

JC Penney JCP Modern Bride

JCP scams customers into believing the lifetime care plan is sufficient . I purchased one of the most expensive bridal rings that they have to offer along with a lifetime care plan . Conveniently they can only locate a care plan for Diamond earrings that I purchased but there isn’t a trace of my former ring repairs or care plans . The stones drop out of the rings with little to no manipulation and they won’t do the due diligence to deep dive to find the care plan . I previously had stones replaced on this item yet they seem to not have trace of this repair either . Take accountability JCP !
