Jcpenney Optical - Upset for delay !!!!!!!

This time was the worst service that I have received from this Optical; years before I never had any problems always being on time, but this year, unfortunately, my order made a month ago is not here yet and when I call is always the same smiling answer "Oh here said it was shipped almost 2 weeks ago but is not here yet"

BAD QUALITY- DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY- DEFECTIVE ITEM CANNOT BE RETURNED

Jcpenney Optical - BAD QUALITY- DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY- DEFECTIVE ITEM CANNOT BE RETURNED

I recently had an incredibly disappointing experience at JCPenney Optical, assisted by Betty. The quality of the glasses I received was abysmal. I have always ordered from America's Best and never had any issues, but this time I decided to purchase two pairs of progressive glasses from JCPenney Optical. Unfortunately, both pairs were of poor quality with badly centered lenses and small focal points, making it impossible to move my head without losing vision.

Despite numerous attempts to resolve the issue, JCPenney Optical refused to provide a refund or store credit. I made five trips to their store to claim the glasses were made incorrectly, and each time they falsely claimed they sent them to the lab. After five months of back and forth, I received the glasses back in the same poor condition. This clearly indicates that their quality is simply unacceptable.

Do not waste your money buying glasses from JCPenney Optical. I deeply regret switching from America's Best, which truly lives up to its name in terms of both price and quality. Additionally, Betty exhibited deplorable business and customer service practices. She had the bad manner of hanging up on calls and not answering calls based on caller ID. This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable and further highlights the lack of professionalism at JCPenney Optical.

Muy enojada y despcionada con la óptica

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

El 14 de junio de 2024, sometí una orden para un par de lentes, incluía uno regular y otros de sol. La mujer que atiende allí me dijo que tardarían dos semanas en llegar.

Tengo una semana de estar hablando y me dicen que hoy y que mañana, y nunca llegaron. Estoy demasiado molesta y no puedo hacer nada. No cometan el mismo error que yo, no vuelvan a comprar en JCPenney Óptica. Hoy es 7/11/2024, la empleada me dice que ella se refería a dos semanas hábiles.

Le dije: 'Nunca mencionaste eso, solo dijiste dos semanas', así que ahora dice que tengo que esperar que de aquí al lunes deben de llegar, osea 7/15. Ella solo se disculpa, eso a mí no me sirve y, obviamente, dice que no puedo cancelar.

Resolved: I have bought 4 pairs of eyeglasses and everyone has started to crack.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Four pairs of glasses that aren't even two years old have hairline cracks starting in every one of them. They replaced lenses in two pairs and not even a month later, they are already showing hairline cracks. They need to replace the lenses or switch to a company that has quality lenses.

I had great results

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I am 74 years old. I have been wearing contacts for years.

I have always had trouble seeing because of an injury to my left eye. When I saw DR Wolff at JC Pennys Optical, I could see clear. He has been the only Doctor to give me clear vision.

He is smart, professional, and affordable. I had to let people know.

Use a glass company that provides quality eyewear. Whom ever they're using isn't doing a good job. Defective eyewear.

Made an appointment for my eye exam and was warmly welcomed in by the friendly staff of the JC Penny Optical department at the Tucson Mall in Az. Dr.

Dourdian is very nice and knowledgeable. The 2 workers; Margo and Dante were a great team and were helpful and professional.

Rude and unreasonable associates

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Basically I purchased a pair of glasses. I was unable to wear the glasses.

With the prescription my eye was blurry. When I tried to work with the associates about a refund. They refuse to even listen. They were very rude and sarcastic.

What basically came down to was too bad my loss. I Don't think they even listen to what I had to say.

I think part of it was racism.

Never able to speak to an employee in the optical department during business hours, always rolls to voice mail.

Has been close to 3 weeks since i ordered my glasses with no followup by the department.

Arrived Saturday at 11:30 during business hours and the department was closed.

Have been a customer for years. This is shameful.

Two erkes ago I received my eye glasses (2 pair). I had order the lightest glasses.

The day I start wearing the new glasses I had an strong headache, also pain in the nose for the pressure and it last 3 days. I had to go to my doctor because the pain and I had to rest in bed. I went to JCP in Plaza las Américas in San Juan to change the glasses,not the frases, since I have a month according to the garanty. The mannager is never available and the other employs are telling me that the glasses cant be change.

That I have to buy 2 complete pair of glasses, and pay for then, because my insurance dont cover the change of glasses.

I have been a JCP Optical custumer for more than 40 years.

I hope your office can help me solve this problem. On Saturday I have an appoinmet with the mannager, I dont even know his name, but I hope I dont have to take other actions.

If we don't take your insurance plan in or out of network, our promo still is about 35-50 percent likely to save just as much if not more than what your insurance covers. The retail value of a 2 pair package varies, you paid 400 which means the retail value is actually anywhere from 600 to 800 dollars.
