Let me start off by saying this is not hyperbole, dealing with these individuals has easily been the worst customer service experience of my life. TL;DR - these individuals are incredible bad at both their jobs and customer service. Save yourself the headache and go down the street to uBreakiFix, they are cheaper, more skilled, and, most importantly, care about their customers.
Roughly a month or so ago I had them repair my Samsung Galaxy S7 screen as it was broken. This morning I noticed the screen wouldn't turn on and the screen was literally falling off the rest of the phone. I took my phone back to them, and the individual I first dealt with, who refused to give me his name (he claimed later it was Bobby), could not find me in their system. He asked me the same question "when did you get this repaired with us" between 5-7 times and each time I told him I don't remember my receipt is saved on my phone. I even went as far as giving him my driver's license so he could search me, found nothing. He told me I was past warranty and there was nothing he could do for me. I told him that was fine, I wanted to speak to his higher up. He told me his manager was out until Monday I would have to call back then. I told him that wasn't good enough I would like to speak to someone now. After a bit of back and forth he made a phone call, and lo and behold, his manager, who also initially refused to give me his name, was downstairs at their other kiosk the whole time. I asked him why he lied to me to which he had no answer.
At this point I had no intention of ever getting my phone fixed by them, but I did want some questions answered. I asked the manager, Nayeem, how he could know if I wasn't still under warranty if he couldn't find me in their system, to which he had no answer. Nayeem was also incredibly rude and condescending, laughing and smiling while conversing with me. I still wanted answers, so I asked Nayeem to give me his boss's contact information, which he refused to give me. I said that's fine I will take your Corporate HR Director's information instead. He told me his boss and their Corporate HR Director were the same person. Little hard to believe but ok. I asked for a name so I could reach out. He finally told me this individual's name was Alex Jainj, but still would not give me any contact information. He said I could get this on their website, problem is they have no website. Finally, I see Bobby making a phone call and mall security shows up. The security guard I spoke with was very level headed and did a tremendous job of explain to me how I could file a formal complaint with the mall. I just found it funny they had no answers so resorted to calling mall security. I have been in upper management in a customer service related industry for quite some time, I know how to handle difficult situations/people. I didn't even raise my voice to "Bobby" and Nayeem, and they felt their best option was to call security. The last thing I asked Nayeem was, "just out of curiosity as the Manager here isn't it your responsibility to make sure your customer have a good experience at your store?" Not shocked when he said "no".
As soon as I figure out whom I need to speak with to get my questions answered I will follow up with another post. Bottom line, their horrible technical skills were only outdone by their unthinkably terrible customer service. Save yourself the headache and go down the street to uBreakiFix, they cheaper, more skilled, and, most importantly, care about their customers. read more
