Consumers beware of this location.
December 8, 2023
I initially came to this location to print old phone records. When I arrived, I was greeted by an employee a tall black guy with glasses, although I forgot his name, and I apologize for that. While I was there, I decided to make some purchases for myself and my child. I bought my child an iPad, and also treated myself to an Apple watch with some accessories. Additionally, I ended up buying the Onyx Studio 7. The customer service was exceptional, which is why I chose to make these purchases here instead of at the Apple Store.

I surprised my son with the iPad that I bought for him. Since we were catching a flight the next day, I thought it would be a good idea to set up his new iPad beforehand. However, when I turned it on, the screen started flickering after just a second. I immediately took the defective iPad back to the store, hoping for a quick fix or an exchange. I explained the issue to the same gentleman who sold me the device, and he suggested that I go to the Apple Store as they don't handle these types of issues. I mentioned that it was still under the store warranty, but he insisted it was now an Apple issue. However, his response didn't sound quite right to me, so I paused before leaving.
Once at the Apple Store, I had to wait for an hour and a half before being seen. I was really eager to address the issue since my son and I had a flight to catch. Finally, when it was my turn, I explained the situation to an Apple associate. To my surprise, she informed me that T-Mobile should have fixed it for me and provided a new one since I was still under warranty. She explained that the reason they don't do this is because it affects their commission and some employees are simply lazy and don't want to deal with these situations. Another Apple associate chimed in and assured me that they could get me a new iPad, but it would take a week due to the processing involved. However, he did agree with the previous associate's statement about dishonesty, which infuriated me. I couldn't believe that after spending an hour and a half at the Apple Store just a few days before Christmas, fighting through traffic and crowds, I was being told something I already knew deep down.
While at the Apple Store, I called and spoke to the manager, Robert. I explained the situation to him once again, and he assured me that as long as there was no damage to the iPad, they could exchange it for a new one. I couldn't help but express my frustration and asked why I was given incorrect information earlier. Robert's tone and condescending manner were not appreciated, and it seemed like he was getting increasingly upset and talking over me. It was disheartening to hear him speak in a way that made me question the integrity of the store.
When I returned to the store, I firmly requested that they take back the defective iPad and provide me with a new one. I also confronted the salesperson who sold me the iPad, expressing my disappointment. He said when I left an iPad showed up. What the F does that mean??? You never said anything about an ipad. Your words to me was "IT WAS AN APPLE ISSUE." The fact that he had the audacity to claim ignorance about the issue when I returned the iPad, even though he never mentioned anything about it before. The lack of honesty and the overall fraudulent behavior of the store was deeply concerning to me. I made up my mind that I would never purchase any products from them again, and I strongly advise others to do the same.
What made the situation even worse was the fact that there was no attempt to make things right, no apology, and no explanation for the deception. It felt like a complete joke, and I strongly believe that those responsible should be held accountable and possibly even face termination. Selling defective items and then redirecting them somewhere else wasn't right. had the opportunity to do what was ethically right you didn't. Robert, you're useless and the black guy who sold me the equipment is even worst. Trash location trash! read more
