Blurry photos

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

Jcpenney Portraits - Blurry photos - Image 2

On November, 11th 2023 I took my family to jcpenney to get our holiday photos done like I have been for the past 7 years. This year I received a coupon in the mail addressed to us.

I took that coupon with us for our photo. When we arrived at the studio we were kindly greeted then proceeded to pick out our backdrops and thats when i presented the coupon. The employee told me that the coupon had no code attached to it in order to apply it in the computer. She then told me that both of her managers were outta town and their system was failing.

At the time multiple families had the same coupon & problem, and she was currently communicating through text with their newly hired manager to get a working code. They told me to go ahead with our photos while they worked on the code. While we were getting our photos taken we had to stop multiple times (2-3 at least)because the cameras weren't working. Then they were on the phone with support for the cameras taking the Sim cards in and out.

After making it through our session the photographer grabbed his backpack and left saying he'd be back. When he arrived back the whole studio smelt of Marijuana. It was to a point that the other employees were going around spraying febreze knowing what the issue was. We were then 2 hours into this appointment when we were finally able to see our photos.

I was ready to just purchase and leave, but they couldnt get the coupon code to work that the manager had sent them. The manager then stopped responding so we ended up needing to do (2) seperate transactions so i could purchase the digital album and my holiday cards at a reasonable price. I was very pleased with the amount of effort the lady made in order to accommodate the price. After receiving the digital album to my phone i noticed that a majority of my photos are blurry.

I was able to look past them short staffed and the long wait/ technology difficulties but when I finally got home to see that my photos were then blurry to the point where I won't be able to have them printed or even look professional is when I decided I needed to reach out. We have been loyal customers for many years and I always love our photos here but these definitely don't look like they were taken with a professional camera. It just saddens me that I had to put my 4 kids through hours of complications to end up with unprofessional photos.

With the holiday season coming up and knowing that the photo center will obviously be busy. We would like to figure out how we can help resolve this issue together.

Urgent Complaint my extreme dissatisfaction with the service.

Jcpenney Portraits - Urgent Complaint my extreme dissatisfaction with the service.
Jcpenney Portraits - Urgent Complaint my extreme dissatisfaction with the service. - Image 2

I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the service I received at JC Penneys photo studio on January 25. Despite paying for a photo studio session for a business activity, I have encountered numerous issues that have left me frustrated and disappointed.

Upon attempting to download my photos, I discovered that JC Penney works with LifeTouch and Shutterfly.

Unfortunately, the LifeTouch folder is empty, and Shutterfly demands additional payment for each photo, which is perplexing as I have already paid for the studio and photos.

Despite multiple attempts to contact JC Penney, no one has answered my calls, and the manager has been elusive. This lack of responsiveness has added to the inconvenience, especially considering my work commitments.

After finally speaking with the photographer, the situation did not improve. I received only 12 out of the 21 photos via email, and these were entirely different from the ones I had chosen during the studio session. To compound matters, I am unable to download these photos from the existing folder.

This experience has been marked by a lack of respect, unprofessionalism, and a disregard for customer satisfaction.

The refusal of a refund only exacerbates the situation.

I find it unacceptable that alternative photos were chosen without my consent.

I am posting this complaint publicly to bring attention to the issues I have faced and to seek a prompt and satisfactory resolution. The inconvenience caused by JC Penneys actions is not only unprofessional but has also resulted in a significant waste of my time, impacting my work commitments negatively.

I expect a timely and adequate response to rectify this situation and restore my confidence in JC Penneys services.

User's recommendation: Disappointing Experience at JC Penney I regret to share a negative experience at JC Penney. My recent visit was marked by poor customer service, unresolved issues, and a lack of professionalism. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend JC Penney based on this disappointing encounter.

Unacceptable Experience at Portrait Studio

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Jcpenney Portraits - Unacceptable Experience at Portrait Studio

Dear JC Penney's Customer Service,

I am reaching out regarding my recent experience at the portrait studio located in Rogers, Arkansas with your photographer Elijah. He couldn't have been more unprofessional.

He completely disregarded our preferences and made the entire experience uncomfortable. When we clearly asked for specific shots, he never gave them to us. And someone is either blinking or not smiling in the shots he gave us. It was evident that he paid little attention to detail.

We got these photos taken for my mom's birthday, and we had nothing to present to her.

It is unacceptable that we invested time and money into a service that failed to meet even the most basic expectations. I am asking for appropriate compensation for the inconvenience and disappointment caused by Elijah's incompetence.

Whether through a refund or alternative compensation, I expect JC Penney's to make things right and restore my faith in your brand.

Please contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss how you plan to address this issue.

Sincerely,

Chandler Mesinar

Bad customer service, lie about number of images including in the digital album

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Jcpenney Portraits - Bad customer service, lie about number of images including in the digital album

I got Groupon session for cheap and ended up buying the digital album for almost 200 dlls. The photographer only gave me 15 pictures.

She claimed that was the maximum amount of pictures she is allowed to include. This was my 1st time using JCP portraits so I believed it.

2nd time. I call ahead JCP portraits (another store) I asked the employee, how many pictures she will include in the digital album. She told me, "ALL PICTURES WE TAKE IN THE SESSION".

I asked again,how many.. she now said could be 30 or 40 it depends of how much pictures takes the photographer. So the. I told her my experience I had in my 1st session that I only got 15.

And she told me that was totally wrong and that could be because I buy it with the groupon. I told her that I did the session with the groupon but I pay 100% full price the digital album. Anyway I was happy that she said she will give me all of the pictures including the ones that looks bad. So I booked a session.

I went and when she show me the album only included 20 pictures.

And now she said she is only allowed to give me 20. And all of the other she already erased them. So I was so mad. Cause I even paid to do my hair and make up .

I did paid cause I didn't want to loose everything but I was so mad and mad. I had to book another session next day to have more pictures. In another place. And this time the girl gave me about 32 pictures and she told me that they can do more pictures for sure.

I did another session next day again and this time I got 40 pictures. So yes I am so so mad about the 20 pictures I only got . She lie to me and treated me bad. Also it took me a week to get my pictures since they make a mistake on the email and I never got the receipt that I requested.

I received with 0 amount. No recommendation for JCP Henderson no

Need to make a complaint about the photos department

I made my appointment for 11 family members to take pictures this Sunday on the fourth at 2 oclock a month ago. I got a call three days before axing if I can come in earlier I said I would love to but I cant due to the fact that I have 11 people and everybodys coming from different areas, I did it a month in advance so everybody would get there at 2 oclock and there was no problems.

I get another call the night before on Saturday from a girl named Tanisha, who then tells me that I need to be there at 1:30 to start the pictures because there was no way that they can start at 2 oclock because he has to be back at JCPenneys to take pictures , I told her it wouldnt be a problem. We all lived in the same household but like I told him I have people coming from different areas and we already reserved this a month ago then she told me straight up like I understand but like I said, he has to take the pictures at 1:30 very unprofessional very rude. The next day comes around its raining they call me to cancel the Photos at 10 x 11 the rain already had stopped by 12 oclock. It was cleared up by 2 oclock.

Im so upset because Im looking out the window and its a perfect day to take pictures , it did not have to be canceled. I feel like they overbooked and they were looking for any excuse to just discard my appointment. Im really upset trying to get 11 family members grandkids, especially together because people work to get a photo done for my mother not to mention the money we spent getting our make up done , it was totally an inconvenience for us. Had to call them back to make another appointment for next Saturday which I waited for them to call me back so I never got a call back call them back and I said Im going to do it for 2 oclock again for that Saturday I got the runaround there was no 2 oclock.

I told them Im online I can book it right now from online for 2 oclock appointment.

Oh let me look finally they come back and theyre like OK yeah well do it for 2 oclock. Very unprofessional, very rude the people that are making the appointments not to mention when you call nobody knows nothing theyll have somebody call you back and if you walk into the center to ask a question its even worse they just brush you off the photo lab that I called was the one in Pembroke Pines and the reason why Im calling is because I dont think that thats OK and so that it doesnt happen to somebody else because its frustrating not to mention Ive been trying to find a number to call so I can let somebody hire off know whats going on and theres no number thank you, Lilly

She was NOT rude, while they were wrong and should have kept the timing she was NOT rude. Just because someone says something you do not want to hear does not make a person "rude."

Bad service at JcPenney Portraits

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Bad service at JcPenney Portraits

Our family booked a family photo session at Jcpnney, and most needed to focus more appropriately on the center; the posture they told us to do was out of line, and they needed to be more professional. I would have taken them better with my phone.

I paid over $400 for these photographs.

Due to my husband's health conditions, I didn't have much time to pay attention to the computer to view the photographs.

We just wanted the photo session to end quickly. But when the photos arrived at my house, I realized they weren't even posed correctly.

The leaders of some of my children's paintings were careless; Besides, I don't think they were professional people who did the photo session.

The worst part is that I paid so much money that Jcpenney sent me the pictures on a DVD and some more paintings on the wall.

How disappointed I was when I saw the photos when they arrived. I do not recommend this place for photo shoots.

Complaint Regarding Late Arrival and Poor Customer Service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Jcpenney Portraits - Complaint Regarding Late Arrival and Poor Customer Service

Dear JC Penney Photo Center,

I am writing to express my disappointment and frustration with the recent experience I had with your company's customer service. On August 19th at 4:05 pm, I had scheduled an appointment for my daughter's 2nd birthday at the Wheaton, Maryland JC Penney Photo Center with my entire family and the props that we had broughtready to capture these beautiful moments.

I am writing this letter to bring to your attention the tardy arrival of your representative and the subsequent poor customer service I received.

I had eagerly anticipated the service after waiting for a full hour from her scheduled time of arrival at 5:05 pm, as it was important for me. I had allocated time from my busy schedule to accommodate the appointment. The scheduled time for the appointment was at 4:00 pm, and although we ran a bit late and arrived at 4:10 pm, I made sure to call to report our delay. Unfortunately, no one answered the phone, and no one reached out to us prior to the appointment to let us know about any potential changes.

However, to my dismay, your representative (who claimed to be a manager of the photo center) arrived approximately at 5:10 pm, which is 70 minutes later than the scheduled time, with a rude attitude regarding the late policy.

Despite there being no one present for the next appointment slot, she refused to take a photo of us. She seemed to take pleasure in giving us a hard time and displayed a significant level of ignorance.

This delay not only disrupted my entire family's schedule, which involved a substantial amount of preparation ahead of time, but it also caused significant inconvenience. While I understand that unforeseen circumstances can lead to delays, I would have greatly appreciated proactive communication from your end to inform me about the delay and to provide a revised estimated time of arrival or even a phone call to explain the situation. Furthermore, when your representative did eventually arrive, there was a noticeable lack of professionalism and courtesy.

Instead of acknowledging the delay and apologizing for the inconvenience caused, she appeared disinterested and unapologetic. This attitude only compounded my frustration, as I had expected a higher level of customer service from a reputable company such as yours.

I want to emphasize that my intention in writing this letter is not solely to complain, but rather to bring attention to an issue that requires immediate addressing. As a customer, I place great importance on receiving timely and respectful service. When these expectations are not met, it undermines the trust I have in your company and significantly impacts my overall impression of your brand.

I kindly request that you address these concerns promptly.

It would be greatly appreciated if you could provide an explanation for the delay and the lack of communication, along with the steps you plan to take to ensure that such incidents do not recur. Additionally, I hope you will seriously consider implementing measures to enhance the training and professionalism of your representatives.

I eagerly await a timely and satisfactory resolution to this matter.

So I got the email address from her and reached out to JCPENNEYS to establish contact and see what's my next step.

The JCPENNEYS management advised me to make contact with Willie Jude Chavez, General manager for the advertisement department for JCPenney.

On March 28 , 2023+131********

I have signed a contract to be a manager for 3 to 5 years with the company. we have been made so many promises and commitment and nothing has transformed.

The contractual agreement have been not honor.

There's so much more information I have to share and would like to sue Willie Jude Chavez, General manager for the advertisement department for JCPenney and company for breach of contract.

Amongst other potential criminals infractions.

Please advise me if you are willing to take on my case and I can send you emails and texts messages stating March 28, 2023.

That is his job. So just stop with the keyboard justice.

Bad service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
We had an appointment for 6 month old photos at 4:45PM. We called multiple times to see if there is anything we need to do and no one answered or called us back. We were 5 minutes late and were told that they can no longer see us. The lady was very rude on the phone and stated that their photo sessions were only 15 minutes, which does not seem accurate. It is very difficult getting baby twins out of the house just to be turned away. Never scheduling a session again here.

Original review Jan 01, 2024
A few years ago I had a couple of photos taken here, at the Treasure Coast Mall in Jensen Beach They were superb. So went back with wife for a session.

The phtographer was hugely incompetent. For example: some of my hair popped up making me look like a clown. That was okay with photographer.She never mentioned it. Of all the photographs she took we pickedonly one and later decided to bury it.

The photo was not emailed as agreed. Went back and was told they would not put the photo on a flash or CD. But agreed to put it on my phone. The 8x10 print arrived 12 days later.

Coist of photo $100.

If I wanted a postcard sized photos: $20 each. You have been warned.
