Looks like this place can be a hit or miss. Well it was a hit with me, THREE times! (Once to get a…read morenew phone and twice to switch out the cases bc I had changed my mind). After dropping my phone and needing a new one, I reluctantly dragged myself to the Verizon store. I've been avoiding the stores for a few years now, but I guess things have changed! This place was great! There was a bit of a wait when I first got there but I forgot all about it because the 2 girls who helped me (one was named Celeste I think) were awesome - helpful, friendly, and informative. Poor Celeste even had to stay late to make sure all the info transferred to the new phone and wiped out the old phone. The staff listened to my preferences and gave me helpful advice with the new phone and accessories. Now that the new phone was getting set up, what to do with the old phone? I was told I could pay to get the screen repaired and sell it back...or I was offered a credit for accessories. Done. I got a wireless charger and 2 cases and a screen protector for our phones. Obviously we still owed because all those purchases were more than the credit I was getting off the old phone but I thought it was a great trade off - I get accessories and somebody takes my old phone off my hands! Plus, I never would've thought to get a wireless charger because I'm kinda frugal about electronics, but I'm so happy she suggested it as an accessory because I love it. The case that was recommended was a great case and I really liked it, but I'm such a klutz that I felt the back of the phone didn't have enough grip. I went back the next day to trade the cover for one I saw online from the same brand. I got there when they closed but the guy still let me change out the case and adjusted my receipt. I thought that was cool because even though it wasn't a long transaction, he really didn't have to help me since they were locking up. I ended up not liking this case either because it has a built in screen protector and there was a knick on the screen. I went to the Rockville location to find yet another case that would be perfect for me. (I'll write another review for Rockville). The case recommended by Rockville was good for me because it had grips. But then later that evening I saw somebody with the same brand but a different color and I found my plain black just way too boring (professional, but boring). I know...it's starting to sound like a never ending saga of high maintenance, but I have to use it everyday so it should be exactly what I want. :-) At this point it's now 3 days later and I head back to the Germantown store again and ask if they have the case I got from Rockville in another color like I saw online. (By the way, why do cases come in black or super girly with glitter and pink? Not much in between). I also asked for recommendations. The guy (I think his name was Ethan) was super helpful and really tried his best to find what I needed. I was just about to think I'd have to just deal with the plain black colored case or find another brand when the guy comes waltzing out from the back with another color of the same brand because he went that extra mile to check inventory and really look for the case in the back! I left a very happy customer, again.

The guy with the greasy ponytail kept lying about the company policy for paying off and unlocking…read moremy phone. Basically making it sound like its impossible to leave Verizon without waiting a full year. Mind you, a quick google search is all one needs to prove him wrong... but he'll tell you how they had a "training," its a company training not a degree.

I've had four separate interactions with the staff this week and each was exceptional…read more Called up two days ago to ask how I can go about purchasing a phone at the store with the new COVID restrictions and spoke with Rubin. Rubin graciously explained the safety measures and answered some questions. After chatting with him briefly, I ran down to the store to select my new phone. During the interaction in the store, Rubin continued to be as helpful, knowledgeable and courteous as I could possibly expect. Ordered my phone and happily went on my way. Received a follow up call the next day to let me know that my phone was on the way. Just another display of excellent customer service. Today we picked up the phone and Jay assisted us with transferring our data, and wrapping up the purchase. Again, professional, helpful, and friendly. I have fairly high standards for customer service. It's important to feel positive about your shopping experience, especially when you're purchase is an investment. Rubin and Jay both struck me as exceptional representatives of this store and brand, providing the kind of service that creates a loyal customer for their brand and store location. At this point, I would go out of my way to shop at this location knowing that the environment is a great one to be in.

These are the dumbest people I have ever encountered. Went in with a minor problem. After rep…read moreworked on my phone for over an hour he could not solve the problem. He continually tried to sell me an upgrade which I declined. Finally he said if I did the upgrade I would be out of there in 10 minutes. That was 8 days ago, 4 trips to Verizon store, 1 trip to Apple store and 2 calls to Apple customer service. I still do not have all of the old information on my phone updated. These people will not help you, they just want to upsell on something you don't need. The shame is I am a 25 year Verizon customer and I pay Verizon over $600 per month.

I don't normally leave reviews, but Gavin at the Verizon store on Clarendon Road in Arlington, VA…read moreabsolutely deserves one. After my phone was stolen, I spent two days getting the runaround from Verizon and Apple. I walked into this store upset and at my breaking point. Gavin gave me his full attention and then spent 2.5 hours fighting with Verizon customer service on my behalf. I watched them hang up on him three times. He never gave up -- he said the customer needed to be helped, and he meant every word. Four hours later, everything was resolved. He got me exactly what I needed plus a $150 bill credit. If you need help and want someone who truly takes their job seriously, go see Gavin. He doesn't just deserve a great review -- he deserves a medal and a promotion. Exceptional human being. -- Kenneth Chiaramonte | 310-279-8021

Honestly, just top down, it was surprisingly how such a small issue was handled so poorly…read more The issue was cosmetic and the fact that I like to connect my devices (that can) directly to my router using an Ethernet cable and not WiFi. Pic A is how it began and Pic B is how the first tech left it. Said he didn't have the part and that I may need to buy it. Called my building's rep who was not very helpful and then called tech support (1-855-690-9105) I spent a lot of time on the phone with tech support who swore up and down that Verizon has all parts and that I shouldn't have to pay. They sent another tech, Cesar, who left it like the Pic C - was very upset and called tech support who this time said she couldn't find my account - that did not help matters. Called tech support again (who found my account) and even let them view through my phone's camera and they were baffled and said the techs should have it. Got the DC office manager who said he'd ordered the part...see the text pic and I bet you can guess what happened. A 3rd tech came by who was honest and said they just didn't have this part in the warehouse. Eventually I just bought the part myself and finished it myself (Pic D and Pic E) and I'm lucky the part came with extra screws as Cesar must have tossed some. It appeared as though the building Verizon rep was going to compensate me but it has been a month and I haven't heard a peep. See the email pic. If you claim a building is Verizon ready, then please have all the parts - making your customers buy anything to finish the job is just an embarrassment.
