Customer service was not very informative
I called before making my way over to the store and asked what I would need to bring to sell my PlayStation 4. Cole, the employee giving me the answer to my question said that I needed the console "obviously" (we'll see what else is obvious soon won't we Cole?), the power and HDMI cord, and the DualShock 4. So with my new knowledge, I got what I was informed was required and drove the 20 minutes to get to CDR Electronics. There, I made my way to the desk to sell my PS4 and was asked for my ID and that the process of checking the console's condition was going to take a while so I was told to look around for a bit to pass the time. "So far so good," I say to myself as I take in the store's decor.
After a while, the same employee came up to me and delivered the first bad news... I was missing the micro USB cable that connects the PS4 to its controller, deducting the good price of the console by $10. I told them that I was not told to bring said item and to my surprise, they dare to tell me that the employee that told me about what to bring most likely left out the micro USB from my phone call earlier. To admit that the employee "most likely" left it out tells me that other customers "most likely" had this problem SMH... After almost hearing the Karen inside of me, I asked for an alternative. And do you know what they suggested? They suggested that I buy a brand new cable from them!..... Obviously, I denied that "offer" and said that I'd drive back home, get the cord, and drive back. Now that I'm writing this review, I realize that buying the cord would've been useless because I'm paying for the cord that they would have to replace because I didn't bring mine. These employees seem very stingy.
Before I left, I noticed a certain ID missing from my wallet. The employee that asked for my ID did not give me back my ID so I had to go back and ask for it. So after retrieving my identity back, I do what I said that I would (because that's how communication works *looks at Cole*) and made it back to the store. I turned in the cable, got my money, and before I could leave, I noticed another customer turning in their PS4 for cash and (are you ready for this?) an employee asked another employee if the 3inch micro USB that the customer turned in was acceptable. I listen in and hear that it was NOT! "It has to be at least 3 feet long" to be accepted. I was even more frustrated now because I was not told about that either!! I could've gone home, gotten my smaller micro USB, get denied and get the final part of the info that I should've gotten from the phone call at the start of this adventure, cry a little, drive another 20 minutes to and from my house, get the money I should've gotten two hours ago and left like nothing happened :(
In conclusion, the customer service of this CDR Electronics is very frustrating. From getting three separate info from three separate employees to almost getting talked into buying their stock, I give this CDR ELECTRONICS a 1/5 star review. I might give the other CDR Electronics a visit just to see if my experience will be any better (fingers crossed). I hope that you guys at this CDR Electronics understand where I'm coming from and improve the way you guys communicate with your customers and not allow this to happen again. Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk :)
PS. The employee that I sold my PS4 games to pronounced Terraria as TerRAREria.
