I pass by this store almost every day, I decided one day to switch service from Mint mobile "T-Mobile network" and see how boost mobile "Sprint service" is, Knowingly Sprint has the worst network ever where ever you go it has the worst reputation, So i said maybe they enhanced after T-Mobile merged with them, Well it's too early to see any enhancements in the service anyways, Honestly just wanted service and that's it.
I went to the store cause the store was desperately trying to sell one iPhone 8 Plus for $49 when you port in, i found the listing on Offerup "Yes that desperate", It sounded really fishy knowingly anyone would jump and buy it, So i gave them the benefit of the doubt and went it.
There were 2 very nice girls, I told them i'm the person who called and said i'm coming for the iPhone 8 Plus, One of them jumped finally you came and she was waiting for you all day long, in my head "Probably she was talking about another customer", The other girl said no no, It's someone else, I did know that there's something wrong about this deal. Well i asked for the price break down and the girl gave me an exact break down $20-$25 less than the actual price, I said if they're honest i don't really care.
So i gave the clerk the port in details and made her job super smooth, She asked me to pay and i said of course. So i paid with $20-$25 extra and made my self i didn't pay attention.
It was supposed to take not more than 30 minutes, I didn't even bother them, I let her do her thing and the other girl she's trying to advertise, Oh i love this iPhone 8 Plus especially this color, I'm in love with this phone and sir would you like me to show you the phone, I said no thank you i do know a lot of things about a few years old phone please, But thank you so very much for trying to help.
So the thing took a lot longer than usual, RED FLAG in my head right away, I knew i'm going to hit a few bumps, Then she said you're all set and thank you for your business.
2 days for me to realize that speaker phone "microphone" broken, I said here we go, And the drama started, I called and told the so called "Manager" the same person who activated my phone, about this situation. And she said well within 7 days you can return or exchange, This is the catch, Once you paid and walked out, You're out of luck.
Today March 1st, So it's the 10th day from complaining that the phone defective and "The manager" reassured they will take care of me, Even though i called randomly and asked about the promo and she said it ended long time ago and we will not get any cause the promo ended "Which makes sense". So the drama still going neither the store or the company is willing to help me. So i will sell the phone and recover my loses and port my number out back to Mint mobile happily and will never ever ever in my lifetime switch companies, And never ever buy a phone from a prepaid carrier, cause they will get rid of you easy and do not care for you.
So from this experience, I'm just trying to explain my situation and tell people one thing always, I follow this rule and i fell for it. You can never be careful in Bakersfield PERIOD, There's a lot of scammers on the streets and store may scam you and will never care, When this will end? Nobody knows, You try to give your business and they can't fix the situation.
I will get to the store owner no problem at all, But i choose not to care of shady businesses.
I report and you decide, I got you Bakersfield. As always people love my thorough reviews.
I hope you all find my review helpful and no i don't wish them bad business, They just want to make money, What if someone scam the manager??? What would she do?
God be with you all, Read and share and let this kind of business understand that they can be shady and there's people who are not willing to let them get away with it, So social media will do the job for now. read more
