Update: Today is Monday 4/5/21, and uBreakiFix has never reached out to me to provide me with updates. I'm continuing to try to get a full refund because they have failed on every promise that they've made. I'm still willing to give back all of the parts along with the rest of the phone which is MORE than uBreakiFix gave me, & I only want my money back.
Summary
I just got my iPhone 8 today from uBreakiFix in Matteson IL, & it is still broken. I attached pictures. I took the first picture of the damage as I was showing the employees when I picked up the phone after it was "repaired." I expressed how disappointed I was with the "repair," but they claim the phone is fixed. I will not use my phone in the unacceptable condition that it is in, so I feel they have stolen $416.08 from me, which was the full cost of the repair including tax. I know I'm not the only one. I heard plenty of other people coming in & complaining while I was in their store waiting.
Full Experience
3/1/21 I brought my cell phone to uBreakiFix to replace the battery & the back glass. I was told it would be a 24-hour repair
3/2/21 I called for a status update & they told me they needed until Wednesday
3/3/21 They called me at 10:30am to say my phone would be ready in an hour. They called again at 11:00am saying they needed "a little more time" & that they were going to charge me an additional $50 because the charging port was not working. After not hearing back, I called at 5:15pm, & my phone was ready. When I picked up my phone, the front screen was broken. They agreed that it must have been their fault & to replace it for free. After waiting an hour, I got the phone back & the new screen was protruding out from the frame. The employee said that they must have forgotten a screw to secure the screen. After waiting 20 more minutes the employee came back & said the phone was "fixed." The screen was better, but it was still protruding from the frame. The employee told me that could be fixed & that they would repair the phone the next day
3/4/21: I called at 1:00pm to get a status update. They told me the screen was fixed, but the new charging port was having issues. They said that I would have to wait for them to order a new charging port, which would be on Friday or Saturday. I told them I need my phone for work and I can't wait any longer for the repair. I asked for a refund, and I was willing to give them back the parts to the phone. I told them that they could do whatever they needed to get the parts back, I just wanted a full refund. They only agreed to refund $143.58 for the battery and charging port, but they would not refund me for the back glass which was $272.50. I told them that doesn't help me out because I wouldn't be able to use the phone without a battery or charging port, so what good would new back glass do for me. I called their main customer support at 877-320-2237. I spoke with a corporate employee who put me on hold after hearing my story to call the Matteson location. When the corporate employee got back to me he told me the same information that the Matteson employees told me, but he added that he would open a "case file" for me, and assured me the phone would be 100% fixed without any issues.
3/6/21 I got a call around 3:00pm on Saturday that my phone was finally completely ready
3/7/21 I was finally able to pick up my phone, but as I picked my phone up I could feel that the screen and back side of the phone were not sitting properly in the frame of the phone. It's clear when you look at the phone that the screen and back side of the phone were not installed properly. As you can see in the pictures I'm afraid the back glass may completely fall off at any time. I told them that they could have the entire phone if needed. I just want my money back at this point, but they are completely unwilling to do anything help me. Now I'm left with a phone that I will never use because the front screen and back glass don't feel secure at all and I can even see the hardware behind the screen and back glass. read more
