JCPenny opened its first set of doors back in 1902 and today there are over 1,000 stores nationwide. Children's clothing can be found here, in addition to styles for the whole family and home furnishings. In addition to their stores, they also have the JCPenny outlet stores as well as their well-rounded website.

The Good

  • Great styles and designs
  • Website is easy to navigate
  • Advanced search options

When it comes to kids' clothing options, JCPenny offers today's hottest styles, colors and designs in dresses and dress wear, shorts and shirts and swimwear. Similarly, they have the top brand names in footwear, such as Converse, Nike and Reebok.

Their website makes it easy to find that perfect item. Search boxes on the right allow to find the perfect color, size, brand and style. Customers can select as many specifics as they would like to find the exact item they are searching.

For clothing searches, break down the hunt by gender, size, color and style. This is ideal when your daughter needs a purple polka dot dress, or your little boy needs a yellow pin-striped short sleeved dress shirt. Let the ease of JCPenny's website be your personal shopping assistant.

The Bad

  • Customer complaints
  • Customer service issues

There are plenty of complaints on review sites on the internet. These complaints were mostly about customer service. A small number of complaints about customer service is nothing to worry about because that could just be a customer or employee having a bad day but when complaints start to pile up about customer service we start to worry about the companies culture and reputation.

The Bottom Line

I recommend shopping at JCPenny, but also recommend the old adage, "buyers beware". Arizona brand seems to be a solid choice, but before purchasing clothes for the kids in your life, be sure to take a minute and glance over the stitchery on the shirts, seam lines on jeans, etc.

I was extremely happy with the ordering process of my products from JCPenney‘s. I was extremely unhappy with the return of two of the five items. I sent my two items to the Columbus Scarborough address. After four weeks of waiting for a refund to show up on my credit card, I finally called. The 800 number for JCPenney‘s Does even have a return menu item to choose. I therefore had to pretend I was placing a new order to finally get an agent. Because I had tracking information on the receipt of my items at the Scarborough return center, and because I knew my original order number and the item numbers of the return, The gentleman in customer service immediately gave me a credit on to my credit card. My issues with Penny was not about my money. It was the fact that I had to spend the time to follow through with them to get any kind of credit. It was so nice of the gentleman to give me my refund, but when I suggested that something be done about their system he didn’t care at all. He was only going to do exactly what he was told without considering the bigger picture of how JCPenney is treating its customers. I have given JCPenney at two because the items were‘s received in a timely manner and are of good quality. I was also dissatisfied that while I ordered replacement items for the two items I returned, I paid full price because the online set up was such that I couldn’t find the discount very easily. I think JCPenney had better do something about their service.

Worst customer service processing yet. I have been hung up on twice. I believe this is an effort to have customers avoid the survey given at the end of the call.
