Beware Oak Ridge Xfinity Store!
Short version: Xfinity store took in our cellphone trades and never mailed them to corporate. Charged $1309! Store manager claimed they were mailed multiple times. 45 days later got the police involved and 10 minutes later we had our phones back. Incompetence or attempted theft? Hard to say. I thought maybe the manager was covering for an employee. Corporate says too late to mail phones back, but we are working on that.
Long version: We switched to Xfinity Mobile from Verizon. It was a lot cheaper and uses Verizon towers. We got two free Iphone 12 minis. We hated them (we are Android people) and asked for Samsung phones (that we would pay monthly for). Xfinity sent them to our house. We went to the Oak Ridge store to swap them out. Unfortunately instead of mailing the iPhones back ourselves, we turned them in at the store. All was well. Twenty days later Xfinity charged us $665 dollars. It took several store visits and calls to Xfinity to find out that the charge was because they hadn't received the phones. The store manager assured us she had mailed them in. While I was in out of town they billed us for another $645 for the second phone, the auto-pay on our account failed for some reason AND THEY SHUT OFF OUR phones! Once we figured out what happened, we paid it and they turned our phones back on. When I got back in town I went to the store. I refreshed the manager's memory of our situation and she found a tracking number for two iPhone 12 minis. I got with Xfinity support and they determined the tracking was not for our phones. They told us to file a police report if we thought the store employee stole them. My wife went to the Oak Ridge police and filed a civil complaint. The officer told my wife to return to the store and inform the manager that he would be in her store doing an investigation the next time the employee we dealt with was working. The manager walked into the back of the store and found the phones within 10 minutes. 10 minutes! After all this hell! We still don't have our money back, but hopefully we will get it when we send the phones in ourselves. It's been 45 days. I've got about 16 hours and 4 store trips invested in this not to mention lost sleep. read more
