Since October 2018, this has been my personal experience & the extent of their "customer service".
*They delete bad reviews from their pages
I wrote a review on my ongoing experience at their establishment, had a whole conversation with someone under my comment months later -- that post has mysteriously disappeared.
*Poor communication/Ignores their customers
They tell you they'll reach out to you with updates & information -- they don't, & always have a million & one excuses as to why they couldn't, as well as finger point the customer asking why we didn't just reach out to them. Since October, ANY update I've wanted/received has been the result of me fed up with the silence & reaching out MYSELF because they don't. At all.
*Reportedly causes problems so people have to pay to fix more than they initially came in for
I initially bought a phone from them March 2018 (still have the receipt in my CashApp transactions). I had just moved back to Philly & didn't have the money to put service on the phone yet. Little did I know, a few months later when I could, I found out the phone was black listed -- meaning service could not be put on the phone. They sold me a "pretty brick" is what my Verizon representative explained to me. So I brought the phone back to the store, explained the situation & expected a refund -- because honestly, who wouldn't simply want their money back ? It was over the 3 month return policy on their receipt, but they sold me something I couldn't even use, right ? Well they told me they don't do refunds because they honor their warranty policy (although the bottom of their receipts said within 3 months, at the bottom of the receipt -- the only reason I requested a refund). So I agreed to let them simply replace the phone under the circumstances they could transfer my information from the black listed phone to the replacement phone like they said they could (It cannot be done). So they then told me they'd transfer the information from the black listed phone to a hard drive I gave them to do so (my suggestion because I STILL need the information on that phone). They then told me there was supposedly an encryption code on the phone that they accused me of putting on the phone, as to why they can't transfer information from the phone to the hard drive. So they then promised to give me the black listed phone along with my replacement phone.
Since then, I've STILL been waiting for a simple replacement phone, with no communication from the shop other than me reaching out once a month (why is this even going on this long) to find out the status of my replacement phone. There's either never a response, or I get fed up, waste my time coming all the way down to their store, only for them to give me more excuses, unfulfilled promises, & false ETAs. I've literally been using one of their loner phones since October.
They:
*Promised to replace my phone/upgrade the gig for a 256G instead of the 126G I paid for, for the inconvenience
*Promised to offer a month of the prepaid phone service I use for the inconvenience; That later got pushed to 3 months of service SINCE the long period they promised 1 months prepaid service. THIS IS THE ONLY PROMISE THEY MADE THAT HAS BEEN FULFILLED (& that 3 months is almost up & I STILL don't have my phone).
*Promised to ship the black listed phone (with a hard drive I let them BORROW to transfer the information from the black listed device), to me after finding out the information couldn't be transferred. The hard drive is my brothers, so now they're inconveniencing 2 people for 1 situation.
DO NOT. Shop at this establishment. They made the excuse to me before that they're unorganized because they're a new business but they've been up & running for well over a year; & if anything, you don't need to run a business to understand customer service. They are BEYOND unprofessional. I'm gathering the funds to take them to claims court & suing for the money I put out for the initial phone, minus the funds they put out for the 3 months phone service, plus my time & emotional labor; I am also reporting them to the BBB.
If anyone would like any more information on my experience with them, feel free to reach out to me, I have screenshots of my entire ordeal to bring to court
