JC Penney Fine skin serum

I received a promotion about jc penneys closing and that they were liquidating beauty products. Answered a couple questions (age, sex) and a product was selected for me. I just had to pay shipping of $4.95, which I did (no where in the small print did it say there would be reoccurring charges). Then a few weeks go by... I never received anything in mail... But, I did receive another charge on my card!
I was charged the $4.95 and then charged $90.76. This company is stealing money from people.
Now the fight begins to dispute these charges. Ghrr!

Does good customer service even exist anymore? I was scheduled for a relaxer service with Jimmy at the JC Penney Salon on Saturday 9/12/20, and he gave me one of the worst customer experiences I've ever had (and I've had my share of them). This was my second time having him do my hair; the first time he worked on me, he proceeded to insult my color job...

JC Penney Unethical behavior

This is a terrible experience and nightmare with JC Penney "in home custom decorating." On February, 2020, we ordered(order #845854) "in home custom decorating" including drapery, hardware-designer metals, bedspreads coverlets and pillow shams, and flat fabric. However, we did not hear from them for a couple months (nobody even contact us to update any information). I called JCP in home custom several times that no one gave us a complete answer. I wait and wait...finally by the end of August, 2020 we received a phone call from in home custom decorating and left a message they were going to give us installation. We are happy we finally make a light of a tunnel. I called them back within second day and no one answer that I left message. More than a week later, I received an email stating they could not reach me as well as bedspreads coverlets and pillow shams to be canceled due to manufacturer no longer work with. Called the custom service immediately. Our purpose wanted to order drapery and bedspreads coverlets together in order to match each other and make the bedroom pretty even they were expensive than other companies. We requested full refund that we cannot accept only drapery that where can I find rest of fabric to match my bedspreads and pillows? They refused to full refund instead of wanting to only install drapery. Customer representative stated even if not install the product, we still had to pay remaining balances. Threatening we signed contract that we have no choice. At beginning, we honestly believed that in home custom decorating would send us a copy of contract by email or home. Requested several times, finally received by 8/28, 2020. Right now, we feel like we are into a trap! But, We are going to fight all necessary consequence and cost.

JC Penney Return not credited back in a full month

Order Date: June 19, 2020
Order Number: [protected]

Part of an order was returned via UPS. The proof of mailing is 1ZY4X0509092011690. I have the UPS receipt and the package was recorded as received by Penney's July 1. I was told the return might take 15 days to credit my account. I waited and no credit was made. I called back on July 20 and was told it can take as much as 21 days to credit my account. It wasn't. I called again July 23rd, I spoke with Julie and was told the refund was processed manually and would post in 48 to 72 hours. That was 9 days ago. It is now July 31 and still no refund. Since the package was received by Penney's on July 1, the return should have posted by now. I called again today and was told that my refund will post in 3 to 5 days from now. I would like the refund for the merchandise they received on July 1st to be posted to my account. Since neither email nor phone calls have resolved this issue despite promises that it would be credited, I am not optimistic.

JC Penney Store manager

I've had issues with the manager before
Not until now I decide to speak up
I have had to call out or exchange days that I'm scheduled to work due to my child care provider being closed due to covid

When I do have to call out I text my manager directly because she is the one that does my schedule.
She gets upset/bothered when I do have to call out and acts rudely towards me, examples; she won't speak to me directly she completely ignores me and lets me know that she's bothered by ignoring me to my face. She will not greet good morning when she's upset and it's something she does constantly even when she's having a bad day
I'm here to speak up for myself
I have gone to human resource as well and he spoke to another manager and said they would handle it.

JC Penney Customer Service

Both Audrey and Jeri were incredibly rude separately to my friend and I when checking out. They were angry with my friend for having a return and a gift card. Would not let her use a gift card and get 20% off if she used it. Also, jeri turned to Audrey and complained about gift cards. What the heck? Pay is pay. Not kind, not what you want as your representatives.

She calls supervisor who I might add never talk to me or came to the counter. The clerk was told not refund the $75.77 I paid so I told the clerk its of no use to me if there is no coupon and I don`t want the item Im out $75.77 . By this time I'm angry because number 1 why would I return something on opened, supposedly with out a coupon and request refund. If the refund had been done the purchase would be nell and void so no one could have used the so call coupon of which I never saw nor did I open the kit. I left the kit with the clerk at the Sephora counter. Further more now I get a letter saying I have to pay for a item I do not have nor a so called coupon I don`t have .

I'm sorry, but without such documentation, we have to assume you still have the merchandise. You'll want to address the said charges or face additional interest, late payment and collection fees.

JC Penney Arizona Jeans

Purchased a black pair of jeans in August 2019 at JC Penney in Clarksburg, WV. They were only purchase to be worn to work which is at a grocery store. Did start wearing them until September as he was off due to a broken leg. About a month after wearing them, the butt of the jean by the seam was ripped very badly. The jeans were not roughly treated. A second pair either purchased in August or at Christmas time, was just taken out of the washer today, February 24 and they're ripped by the right back pocket.

On Sunday 2/16/2020 I went to the store to purchase a pair of penny loafers for my son. I asked the floor rep for help and he asked the other rep what kind of shoe I was asking for. She replied, " No we don't have any." Looking over in the next aisle I locate the penny loafers and I show them the shoes for further reference, in case someone else asks. The...

My name is Terri Harden and on Jan 3, 2020 I purchased a pair of shoes at Monroeville mall. I told the associate I was using my JCP mastercard because I saw others getting a discount if they used their card. She then told me unless I had the coupon she wouldn't honor it but meanwhile I witnessed her giving it to the customers before me. She said that I...

JC Penney price matching

I ordered 3 dresses. A day after the order was placed the price of the dresses was lower with the use of an online coupon. I called customer service to try to get the lower price but was told that because the lower price was due to an online coupon the policy is that they could not adjust the price. It was suggested that I return the order and reorder it. That is not a customer friendly policy and is a complete waste of time. I will return the order but will not reorder it or anything else.

JC Penney jeans

I purchased two pairs of Arizona jeans a few months ago and really loved the way they fit and felt, however one pair has gotten multiple holes in them. I would understand if I was up and about walking or working in them but I am an accountant and sit at a desk all day when I have them on. For the amount the jeans cost I would expect them to last a lot longer!

JC Penney arizona men's mid-rise loose fit jeans, web id 5234425

I have been purchasing Arizona Men's Mid-Rise Loose Fit Jeans, Web ID 5234425 from JC Penney for several years. Size 38x36, color dark tint. Today I discovered they are on clearance and being discontinued. This is extremely disappointing. I can see no reason to discontinue this jean. Most of your other jean models offer the color Dark Tint. Why would you discontinue the most popular color? You also manufactur the identical jeans (Arizona Men's Loose Fit Jeans, Web ID: 5234121) in colors Light Tint and Dark Rinse. Please add Dark Tint as an option.

Also, many of your jeans show as available when selecting the size and color on line, only to find out they are out of stock when you try to check out or call JCP. Please keep your stock up to date or improve the JCP website.

I was referred to this website after contacting JC Penney customer service.

Thank you.
