The "Verizon" store at 533 York Rd in Warminster is an authorized retailer, which is not a corporate Verizon store. Their actual name is Wireless Zone. I had visited the Warminster "Verizon" location to trade-in and upgrade to new 2 iPhones 15's. I left with a headache, along with time and money wasted.
With the upgrade to the new iPhones, their employee, Rachel, added 4 Orbic mobile hotspots, to my account. She misrepresented the facts, stating that they were part of my cellular plan, which was not the case. The Orbics had their own cellular lines, with a $10 monthly fee each (not including tax) , and I later learned that they were not free when I attempted to return them. I would have also been charged a monthly device fee for them and they were actually $79 each. When I realized this, I phoned Verizon customer service at 1 (800) 922-0204, who told me to return the devices for a refund. This would be the only way to remove them from my cellular plan. When I returned to the Warminster store, I had a corporate Verizon customer service representative on the line, so that he could hear the exchange in conversation. The Warminster employee, Patrick, gave me a very hard time about returning the devices and insisted on charging me a restock fee of $70 each ($280 total). The devices were $79 each! The Verizon Corporate service employee told me that this was wrong and that is not their (corporate Verizon's) return policy. So he told me to go to the corporate store in Willow Grove to return them. I attempted to return them at the corporate store and unfortunately I was unable to do so, since I had purchased them from an authorized retailer. So I went back to the Warminster store, with the corporate Verizon representative on the line and returned the devices paying the $280 restock fee. I then went home and filed a complaint with the attorney general's office online at: https://www.attorneygeneral.gov/public-protection-division/bureau-consumer-protection/
who reached out to Verizon Executive Relations, who then called me the next day to make things right.
My advice to anyone, who has also had the misfortunate experience of going to the Warminster "Verizon" Wireless Zone Store is to return the devices with a cooperate Verizon representative on the line. Their phone number is: 1 (800) 922-0204. And to also reach out to the attorney general's office online to file a complaint. It is an easy online form to fill out. https://www.attorneygeneral.gov/public-protection-division/bureau-consumer-protection/
The attorney general's office will call Verizon and escalate it to their Executive Relations department, who will get back to you quickly.
