      Only one star, because 0 isn't an option. I purchased a suit from this store online then received a notice that the jacket was out of stock but they were still sending the rest of the suit. I attempted to cancel the order as without the jacket the suit is useless. After being told there was no way to do this, I asked to speak to a supervisor. The first person I spoke to transferred me to an entirely separate business The second person I spoke to when I called back was unintelligible The third person I have been on hold with for about 30 minutes waiting to speak to a supervisor

      Bought a mattress on line 7/24/22. Delivered damage 8/12/22. JCP made us pay for a new one. The refund will not be executed until after the damaged one is picked up and the new one delivered. Husband only applied for JCP charge card for this purchase. Had to use my Discover card. Discount would have void warranty. Ridiculous!.

      Ron DeHaven is the customer. He has scheduled a pick up. Reference #PXXXXXXK601V02K3A. Date 7/30/22. Catalog invoice XXXXXXXX. He has made a claim with the BBB. $1611.70 is the price. We have never had to pay for a replacement item. One CS rep said the new mattress must be paid for before ordering. Not my problem. Discover contacted me for a fraud alert. Discover was charged 8/12/22. Discover credited 8/19/22 at 1204. Mattress had never been ordered. Charged again at 12:40. CS said they didn't have details. Discover provided the information without any delay on one phone call.,, We have never received such poor service from a major company. We were able to pay for a second mattress. Most people are not financially able to. Husband was on the phone with several people for an hour or more. He finally ended the call with no satisfaction. Mattress Firm delivered a better mattress for a better price within two weeks. A sale was lost because poor business practices.

      I had 2 different orders and had to return because the shirts were too small! They were more for a smaller person size M! I received a 2xl. I requested to return. They sent me 2 return labels. Little did I know I would have to pay the shipping from the 2 different orders being sent to me and I had to pay the shipping for returning these 2 orders! That is crazy!!! I order from different companies all the time and if I need to return, I never pay anything! I will never order from JC Penney's again!!! No wonder they have bad reviews and they are about to go out of business!!!

      I paid large amount to JC Penney and they have yet to post the payment. As a matter of fact they have added the amount to my balance instead.

      Error has been corrected once again. I will have to wait until next month to see if all gets reversed. Keeping fingers crossed this time.

      The worst service ever. Terrible policies and uneducated staff with no manners. Sad story.
