From the moment my husband and I walked into the Verizon store, we had an outstanding experience! Before we even made it to the sales floor, Maysha, the security guard, greeted us with such a warm smile and made us feel genuinely welcomed. It's the little things that make a big difference, and she definitely set the tone for an amazing visit. David Castillo was absolutely phenomenal! He was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer every question we had without ever making us feel rushed. He helped both of us upgrade our phone plans and found me an incredible deal on my new phone. His professionalism, honesty, and friendly attitude made what could have been a stressful process completely enjoyable. It's rare to find customer service like this these days, and David truly went above and beyond to make sure we left happy. If you're visiting this Verizon store, do yourself a favor and ask for David Castillo you'll be in excellent hands! Thank you, David, for your exceptional service, and thank you, Maysha, for making customers feel so welcome from the moment they walk through the door. Keep up the fantastic work you both are a tremendous asset to the Verizon team! read more

Do not go to this store!!! I went to transfer service to a different phone which was supposed to be easy buy I do not know what the representative do. I ended up leaving the store with my phone number not working after being at the store for more that 45 minutes. They have no clue what they are doing and they are only focused on selling you new phones. read more

After today's experience, I can no longer recommend this store to anyone. The level of customer service has declined significantly. Henna was dismissive and unprofessional. Before even checking the portal on my phone or reviewing my account, she told me she didn't have the charger I needed and sent me to Five Below across the street. She also said she couldn't help me, even though these are 5G devices that were purchased from this store. I felt that no effort was made to assist me or find a solution. What happened to the days when managers like Ash went above and beyond to help customers? Employees like Ash made people want to come back because they took the time to listen, troubleshoot problems, and provide excellent customer service. Unfortunately, that was not my experience today, and it was very disappointing. read more

Verizon - Mobile Phones Near Me - Hawthorne, California

We've been going to this store location since we signed up with Verizon years ago and so I'm surprised with the review score. But in the years that we've gone here, I've never felt like I needed to leave a review either. However, today I did. Shout out to Arsen who made our family's experience at the store exceptional tonight. We came in to upgrade our ancient IPhones and initially, we thought he would be like the usual reps who get you the phone you want and then send you out the door a like you're just a number. But as we engaged him in conversation about our phone preferences, we found him to be very knowledgeable, helpful, funny, and transparent. Because of this, we decided that only three of us will stick with the IPhone and one gladly went back to an Android (Google Pixel 10). He answered our questions, laughed with us, and went the extra step to get us the phones right there and then rather than having us wait to get them shipped. He even helped setup the phone that I got. So while we spent a long time at the store , it was all worth it! He gets a five star from each of us. Thank you, Arsen. You may be one of the few reps here who leaves a good impression on your customers. Keep up the great work! read more

Walked in and the female manger was rude and miserable. As most of these reviews have already stated, horrible customer service. I've been a customer of Verizon for over 15 years, first time contemplating switching. Trash! read more

Hard pass on this Verizon store. Went to pick up upgraded phone. Raquel was rude and unhelpful. It was clear she was annoyed when we asked to complete the trade-in process then. She did not want to help and said "just mail it in". I specifically did NOT want to do it that way, she set the bag down on a nearby table and backed up "you have picked up your phone". From the beginning, I shouldn't have trusted the phone rep who assured me "no problem" to set up the new phone in store and transfer over the settings. Should have bought from Apple store and ported my 4 lines out to another carrier. Also the advertised $415 trade-in credit turned into $180 minus the $40 "Upgrade Fee". I will be leaving Verizon shortly. You've be warned, avoid this location. read more

Rude from the start, unhelpful and put off to be wasting time with a customer. Came in with a hardware issue and you could see the salesperson's demeanor change immediately when I described the issue. Constantly inferred I was wasting their time, and entire demeanor changed to pleasant when I asked about buying a new phone, showing the naked incentives employees must have. The employee then tried to convince me to sign up for a new 36 month commitment and a new phone and falsely claimed that after the trade-in the upgrade would be a wash for me, which was factually incorrect and disingenuous at best, lying at worst. Avoid this location if you can. read more

Just walked out of Verizon and was helped by a wonderful young guy named Jerry. He assisted me with getting my hot spot connected and answered the several questions I had. He also told me to come back to get the best offer for when I go on overseas. I was made to feel so as ease and wasn't rushed. Thank you for your great service Jerry!! read more

I came in to upgrade my phone to Apple 16/17 pro max but associate hesistant to help me get assisted either to get them order online or in person. I asked him if he has any in stock and he kept saying no we don't have them in stock because the 17 came out. But instead of offering I can help ordering them for you. He just walked away and didn't care to help at all. I would never come here ever again. Poor customer service. read more

Forget it. New review. I checked in on their kiosk. They said it was about 20-30 min wait time. 20 min in. They checked in with me again to see what my issue was. I described it and she said someone will be right with you. Now clocking in 45 min. They said they can't help me in store. That they can only put me in touch with customer services line on the phone. Waste of time. We have had items added to our account, I called having them removed and still showing up on our next bill cycle. They WANT to make it difficult for you so you won't bother. Will be changing carriers in a couple months. read more

Id give no stars if possible. Verizon is the worst service in 30 years of business. Incompetence with an attitude sums it up. In store you have 10 idiots standing around that have quietly quit! They're offended to have to access your account & answer questions. Calling customer service is worse. It's an endless time fu@# of verifying your account, being transferred & put on hold. If you value your time, $ & sanity go somewhere else To the Buis Mgr response... After reading the other reviews, Clearly this is a ongoing internal problem within Verizon. Probably DEI. I too, was put on the business account scam for 2 lines which was not only an incorrect assessment on the part of your incompetent staff but an abuse of my time. You've had ample time to remedy this when I was your customer. To little, too late. Although, I can't condone horrible customer service so I have forwarded this information to my many business contacts for them to be aware of how you conduct business. Social Media next! read more

SCAM ALERT! I should've left this review a year ago. One of the managers, Jose Sanchez, helped me out with establishing a business account for 2 lines. Upon reviewing my newly established account at the end of the day, there were 7 additional lines added. Setting up a business account took almost 2 hours at the location and he advised me that I can go home and he will finish up. So I was still receiving texts from him, even after left, for codes sent by Verizon so he can make the proper changes on my account. I was too trusting that I just kept sending the verification back to him. I'm glad I caught it so I was able to call customer service to take out off of my account. read more

I spent five hours w Verizon trying to get my Apple Watch to work with its own cellular number. They said they weren't able to help, I was hoping they would be with me while I called her Support Line the people who could help and get the problem resolved. Still not working read more

Raquel was amazing and helped me out big time! A call center for Verizon screwed up my order big time and she was such a big help and went the extra mile for me. Thank you Raquel for your help and hard work on this I'm truly thankful! read more

I just left the Verizon store because of the most condescending woman working there. I should've gotten her name. I cannot tell you how disgusted I am with the interaction I had with her. She was condescending and tried to make me feel like I was an idiot. I asked a couple of questions before I waited for 1-1.5 hours and she told me she couldn't discuss their inventory. I didn't want to go on a waiting list if she didn't have the phone I wanted to purchase. So disgusted by this in store experience. read more

Super stressed after trying to transfer service to Verizon. Prior carrier got notification that the number was transferred, but Verizon's system didn't process the eSIM and number port in the right sequence. I was without phone service for more than 12 hours, and after spending an hour on phone was told I had to visit the store in person. Arsen came to the rescue. It was a complicated fix, but he was super professional and very nice. Restored my phone service after about 30 minutes in the store. Shout out to Arsen for saving the day (and the holiday weekend). Thank you!! read more

I was in need of a new pair of Airpod Pros, as I was headed out of town for clinical rotations again, and I lost my old Airpods on my recent trip to Colombia. I called up Verizon and bought the Airpods over the phone. I set the pickup location to this Verizon store, which is a 20 minute drive from home. Parking was no issue here, as they share a large lot with adjacent businesses. I walked in, and I was immediately helped. I showed the workers here my receipt, and they took care of me. I got the Airpods, and I was good to go in a matter of 10 minutes. The staff was pretty friendly, and the store was kept running smoothly. This store is pretty efficient in their service. Despite being pretty busy that day, they did not keep me waiting for long. Thanks for the great service, and I'll consider working with them the next time I upgrade my cell phone. Cheers! read more

Thank you for your response, Verizon. I am concerned to learn about my experience as well. I am more concerned by your lack of action upon sharing "it has been escalated for further review." We were not reached out to get our money back, so I went through customer service through Verizon Corporate to get our money back. Simply stating concern over an issue is not enough to make up for lost monetary value and my own time. read more

The worst customer service and store possible. Representatives are worthless and do not help at all. The store manager should be relocated to another position. Do not go here unless you want to waste hours of your time and ruin your day. read more

Great customer service. I appreciated going to the store and getting helped. I had a lot of questions and all were answered with detail.

Thank you Elizabeth and the Verizon team for your excellent customer service! This is my "go to" Verizon store and have been coming here for the last 12 years since I have joined Verizon. I went in today to purchase a car charger and was both greeted and helped immediately. Two team members were ready to help me. Elizabeth quickly found a car charger I was happy to purchase. I proceeded to ask questions regarding any current sales on accessories to which Elizabeth advised there is a 50% off accessories. She continued to answer my questions with knowledge and accuracy. I really appreciated the kindness and prompt assistance and would like to encourage other customers to let the team know how they are appreciated, especially during this busy holiday season. read more

Verizon - Verizon will plant a tree with the purchase of this accessory! Product works great! My phone charged 20% within minutes - Mobile Phones Near Me - Hawthorne, California

Nice people trying to do a good job, but when you find out they screwed up something after you have already left, it would be nice if they had a telephone number that someone in the store could answer! read more

READ THIS BEFORE YOU GET SCAMMED.... If I could give this a minus 0 score, I would. We went in to buy the new iPhone 16 Pro Max cellphones. We turned our current phones in. You get $800 off the new phone if you turn in your old phone. We told them we want to stay in the $ range of our existing plan. "No problem." They (Salesperson: Chris / Manager: Ash) told us that a second line for each phone automatically comes with the phone for free--which we didn't need but comes with the phone. Then they said we can get the iPad 10 for $5 each a month (so that's $10 added to our monthly bill. I asked them if the total monthly bill would then be $140. "Yes." Upfront, we had to pay activation fees and taxes for all devices. They said with this iPad we don't need to use the Personal hotspot. It will automatically use data off our plan. Guess what? We got our bill. They charged us $17/ea. per month for the two iPads. And remember that second line for free? No, they charged us in total for 6 lines. Two lines per phone and a line for the iPad that was not disclosed at the time of purchase. Oh yes... this sent our bill into $3++/mo--more than doubling our bill. We called Verizon, who told us none of this was true. It took a long time to sort this out and it's still not sorted out completely. We told them we're returning the iPads. We don't need the second number on our phones. They killed the second numbers on the phone. They sent us a label to return the iPads--but could not open the file to print the label--and we were given a window of time for them to receive the iPads. So we call Verizon back. At first, they said they're having problems sending labels to my email and that they wanted to send a box for the return (keep in mind that there is a window of time that they need to receive these iPads by)--even though I received 9 emails from them in the past week. Then after some back and forth, they email the label. Did I mention that there is a restocking charge for each? We also lost our Disney+ bundle from our original plan. They sent us one label to put on two boxes to send via UPS. We were told to ship each iPad in its own box. $13 in material for two boxes and shipping. All packed up, I go to UPS to find out that I can't use the label twice so they packed the two boxes into one larger box, $17. Shipped to: Return Processing Center, 2777 E. Long Ave., Suite 111, Fort Worth, TX 76137. As of today, still showing that they have not received it--with their label on it, and passing the due date. I've been with Verizon, way back when they were GTE, then Bell Atlantic. Now getting ripped off! What a damn shame! read more

My customer experience went from sugar to Went in to purchase a new iPhone. Salesperson originally told us we were eligible for a free upgrade to an iPhone 15 and we would also $20 off of our original plan. Which is great seeing how we were already paying $160 a month for. He left us for what seem to be about 20 minutes and upon his return he mentioned He mentioned our new plan did not cover hotspots and there would be an addition of $20 to the plan. we said that was fine seeing how we were getting a free phone upgrade. He left us again for about 15 minutes and upon his return, he mentioned that we no longer qualified for the free phone upgrade. And now we would have to pay an additional $30 on top of our bill for the purchase of an iPhone 15 . I'm chalking this whole experience up to poor employee training as well as poor management training from Verizon. Seeing how the manager was present and not stepping in when he originally saw there was an issue.. Most valuable acid is time. And this retail establishment completely wasted close to an hour and a half of our time. I will never return and now I'm looking for a new service provider. read more

I, too, would leave 0 stars if I could. I blame myself bc I read the reviews and still chose this location. Upon arrival for a non working phone issue, the greeter said they couldn't do anything in store and put us in touch with customer service, who after an hour, was not able to help us. The manager on duty told us they could help us in store, the customer service person hung up on us, and then we were added to the back of the line in store. After another hour, someone was able to help restore the phone, however the incompetence of the greeter was absurd and wasted 2 hours of our time. Why didn't he help us initially? Likely because he stayed on a PERSONAL CALL on his ear piece the entire time he was "working." It was unreal. Yes, we listened to his personal drama for 2 hours while he just shuffled us off onto the next person. Thank you to the one person who actually works in the store and does their job assisting customers. Overall, terrible customer experience. read more

terrible terrible service, this product does not work well. it's worse the cell phone reception. Even worse is they charged me a restocking fee. I had to open the product to see if it works. Doesn't work like they insisted it would. Charged $50 bucks. Verizon sucks. Their customer service is terrible, Unwilling to help out. read more

Costumer service very low, it's sad, I went to the store with a few guys around and have to wait for long time, it's sad.

This is the worse carrier ever. Their hidden fees, be prepared to spend 3 hrs with customer service and ar the end they can't help you. Stay away from this carrier. read more

Dishonest!! Definitely disappointed in switching my service with Verizon & utterly mind blown with the amount of BS I've had to deal with. Can't believe that I've been dealing with this after everything I was promised. Just to be told that it was "hear say" because they can't confirm what was told to me by the employee I signed up with because he was relocated to a new store & promoted. All this after I was told this employee promises people things & doesn't follow through with them. Of course after I signed up for the plan. I think I'm more disappointed in myself for switching to a new company after 10 years of having them. Live & learn. NEVER GO WITH THIS COMPANY. read more

Purchased my new phone from this store on Mother's Day and I must say that I have been really impressed with the quality of customer service I have received. Has ever with my service been perfect? No. But that is the beauty and the great note about this store! Even though there have been issues that have come up, the staff, especially the manager, Jorge, has been incredibly diligent and patient in helping me get everything that I need. I believe the quality of a company is shown not when everything is perfect, but when they have to step up to the plate and course correct when everything is not. This store will definitely help you feel heard and get you what you need. Be sure to ask for Jorge when you go! read more

The service gal who helped me obtain a return box was great, quick, and helpful. Also they have a nice gentleman at the front who opens the door for you upon entering the store. This location seems brand new and much prettier (for lack of a better word) than the Torrance location. Bonus: stop for some takeout at the El Pollo Loco across from this store or the highly rated Indian restaurant around the block read more

I am a Verizon client for some years. But this Store and experience made me switch from carrier. In this Store: Horrible customer service. Not only from the employee but from the manager also. Rude, they don't care, unprofessional. Poor people, you can tell they are not happy in their jobs. Is sad. My iPhone broke. Water damage. I First i tried to buy one online. But the ridiculous thing also is that ONLINE to buy a phone for Verizon they TEXT ME code to complete the order....LOL!!!! I DO NOT HAVE A PHONE how can i receive it????!!! LOL! SAD,. very Sad. So i went to buy one to APPLE store. Simple right? At Apple after i do the transaction, it shows I can not buy a phone because of a Verizon reason that does not explain. So the APPLE employees who are happy, polite and knowledgeable, contrary to the Verizon people: sad, angry, and uncooperative. The Apple people did all possible but they finally told me you gotta go to Verizon. So i did. At this Verizon store they tell me I can not buy it cause there's a pending order. which i did not do. The sad, angry and uncooperative employee says she can not do anything, After i insisted, she obviously was not happy to help, She requested i have to call by phone to VERIZON (which i don't have a phone, it broke, I'm coming to buy oneLOL) So i call from a desk inside the store, to Verizon INSIDE of Verizon from a LAND LINE....LOL!!!!! HA HAH HAHAHA!!!! back to 1960. And after 1 hour on the phone talking to Verizon inside of Verizon Store. First, they told me is because i did a change of enrolling in auto payment. Which is sounded fishy as how that forbids me to buy a phone from them? that could not explain. Then of course they pass through another representative on the phone, AAnnnnnndddd she tells me there's an Apple order placed, that i need to cancel that to be able buy a phone in Verizon. I did cancel it as they EXPLICITLY TOLD me to do. What if i do i will be able to buy the iPhone. So of course i cancell and order i did not do. And once cancelled i turned to the employee - who asked me to call to cancel the order in order to buy the iPhone- And now .......i found out i have to wait 5 days for that to be canceled. THAT I can not buy a phone today. I called the manager. And requested they try if we can see if it goes through. The manager refused angrily. She won't try. That I can not Buy one until that order is canceled in 5 days. WHICH WAS A LIE. WHY? As I WENT BACK TO APPLE AND BOUGHT A PHONE CASH AND I am ALL SET. I told them the story, and we checked, and NO APPLE order was submitted before. I hope Verizon employees were as good and polite and knowledgeable as APPLE ones. But i guess there's always a rotten apple and in this case hase A Verizon SHAPE LOL! LIAR LIAR LIAR THE MANAGER AT VERIZON.!!!! read more

Was going to upgrade my phone but they closed the store a few minutes before their posted hours, locked the doors/wouldn't let me in.

The absolute worst customer service ever! Horrible! I would give no stars, if possible. The woman working at the front door tried to sell is promotions instead of looking at our account or tell us our options. She asked us if we had insurance, we said yes and she immediately put us in the phone with the insurance company who wanted to send prompts to the broken phone. She offered no further help at all. Will find a new cell phone carrier. read more

This is the Verizon you need to visit. Come and seek out the most amazing Solutions Specialist named OAK. (Yes, this is his name). This technology guru made my experience seriously phenomenal. We laughed and I learned, as he answered all of my questions and provided me with solutions for all my issues while giving me such exceptional service that I felt compelled to share this rare experience with everyone. If you didn't know, well, now you know. It doesn't get much better than OAK. read more
