**KNOW BEFORE BUYING**
This isn't a corporate Verizon store, but that itself isn't the issue. My experience with Authorized Resellers have historically been pleasant.
What you need to know is that this particular reseller will charge you a "Setup Fee" of $20 PER DEVICE. Under no circumstance will they waive this unless you buy their high markup accessories --- even if you are familiar with setting up your phone or watch and can do it yourself. Again, this is a FORCED FEE PER DEVICE. For clarity, the fee I am referencing is NOT the $35 activation fee. This is an ADDITIONAL fee stack on top of the activation fee. (See receipt in photos)
In this economic climate, $20 should not an added penalty for doing business with this particular store.
Before going into this store, I highly recommend you ask them upfront to waive the setup fee before proceeding to purchase a phone or watch from this location.
Or you can avoid this practice by going to corporate store, or purchase online.
**Store owners** --- I will only redact or update this review if you stop this practice for ANY AND ALL FUTURE CUSTOMERS. I don't care about a refund for myself.
Update 09/21/2022 - ***Response to Victra Team who commented below***
No need to reach out to you via email. Again, not interested in a refund for myself, as it doesn't help the next potential customer to this store. I only ask that you mimic the Verizon Corporate stores and do not stack an arbitrary $20 "Setup Fee". If you publicly announced ceasing this practice, I will happily redact this review. Conversely, I will remove this review under the condition that you can clearly articulate why there is a disparity between corporate and authorized reseller customer experience and why you charge the fee while corporate stores don't.
Furthermore - After posting this, my wife pointed out that the setup wasn't even completed in store, despite being charged for the fee. We had to complete the Numbershare setup on her watch at our house, which is arguably the most crucial part of the setup. read more
