I give this location 5-stars and a "double half-shaka"
I walked into this store expecting the standard treatment from a mall based cell provider shop.
The store was light, bright and clean. The temperature was very comfortable, not too cold. The atmosphere was upbeat and customers were coming and going. Lots of positive vibes and happy customers at this location. All of the employees that I interacted with were very pleasant, friendly, professional and helpful.
"Tim P." went above and beyond to provide stellar customer service and take care of all of my fairly complex requests... (open a new business account, port a line over from Verizon into that new account and then migrate 8 other lines from my personal account into that business account, pay off four phones and then order 4 more) the entire process took a while, but Tim stuck it out and got it done, even working with Verizon to avoid any errors in the line being ported over, and while carefully guiding me along the way to make sure I made the best decisions and captured all of the discounts and credits that were available to me. I am pretty sure he worked right through his lunch to take care of me.
In contrast, on this visit to the mall, I also stopped by the Verizon store to get information about business lines. The store was empty - dead - with one sleepy guy working in there - his fingernails were all chewed up, on each and every finger - like down to bleeding kine... was gross. Verizon couldn't help me or themselves, the guy couldn't get his computer to work, I wasted an hour while the little wheel was spinning on his computer... waiting to see if he could get somewhere. Failure. He recommended I call Verizon customer support - they wasted my time for another hour. At one point the guy almost had it done and then asked to put me on hold... the phone started ringing and I suddenly was talking to a new person who knew nothing about what we had been working on for the previous 25 minutes... I got to start over from scratch with a new person, re-explain everything and provide all the required information all over again. Yay for me!
In this day and age every cell provider has pretty much the same service, very similar promotions and incentives, especially around new product launches (like right now: iPhone preorder week). The biggest differentiator are the people; this T-Mobile location has some great people.
Tim was extremely knowledgeable about all things T-Mobile, both technical and billing. Do yourself a favor and ask for Tim if you visit this location. read more
