Susan J.

Went in about an hour before closing to get a new phone. Employee Nathaniel was very helpful. He explained everything well and used a screen and printouts to help us make a selection. Coworker next to him was LOUD. I was going to ask him to please tone it down a little, but my son asked me not to. His voice made it difficult to hear. He may not know he's a loud talker. Disappointed that we did not get a FREE phone and disliked a policy to make us stay customers. Deceitful practices.

A QR code is cool but not friendly for those that don't have a smart phone and is not at a level for person in a wheelchair

I rarely complain and give a long and poor review however taking into consideration that it has been a few times that I have experienced some kind of challenge at this store, I think is time to speak up Verizon products are amazing and most of the staff are wonderful. I will provide a review based in the way they provide "customer service" only I have observed that Verizon has been struggling for a while providing a great service experience however I have noticed that it got worse after Covid-19 They continue to be short of staff and now with this limited store hours they're making it harder and inconvenient on their customers They seem to acknowledge complaints and they apologize but I don't see improvement nor change Customers Time is precious and I understand that everywhere you go there will be some reasonable waiting time involved however, the waiting time at this location depending on the day and time can be pretty discouraging and time consuming My three chargers quit on me and I didn't want to spend my entire lunch time waiting to be assisted to purchase multiple chargers for my device so I waited until I got off work To my surprise I found out the hard way that this store closes at 6pm. When you're in a retail business they should be more inclusive taking most people's schedules into consideration. Closing at 6:00pm is unacceptable Before arrival I called Verizon customer service line to find out about business hours however the Verizon representative was unaware of the store hours, and he couldn't get that information on their database neither but he provided me the store number (562) 633-5030 to call however this number doesn't connect you to the store so it was a waste of time I got at the Lakewood location at at 6pm sharp only to find out that they were already closed. It's was disappointing I would love to continue to buy directly from Verizon but they're basically forcing us to go to AT&T, Best Buy across the street or Apple Store in Cerritos. They're busy as well however, they seem to have a better customer service in place and they also provide their customers with more options for further convenience making our store experience quicker and easier .. that's sad I been loyal to Verizon over a few decades and there is no doubt they still have a better network than other carriers but they don't seem to be improving on their customer service support I would like to escalate my observations and concerns for further review Apologies mean nothing when you see so many complaints about poor customer service and they're unable to be reliable and accessible with something as simple as their business operating hours being changed not with the customer in mind It was a bit stressful to make accommodations to return the next day before 6pm but made it and I was assisted by KY. She is incredible however because I don't like to keep employees after hours and due to the lack of time available there was no opportunity to look around and being able to buy a few other accessories Verizon you need to work on improving and showing your customers with actions not only words that as you say it we truly are "the Best part of Verizon "

Time stamped 6:39pm

Pulled up at 6:35pm, they locked the door in front of me saying they are closed. The website said 8pm closing, and I showed them. They shook their head and said no. I asked if there was another Verizon store open, they said no. Very disappointed and looking for a different carrier now. After heard in from the business, I will give it another shot and thanks for your responsiveness.

I checked, waited till my name was called Robert mispronounced my name (no big deal) I corrected him and he proceeded to say it wrong again on purpose with a shoulder shrug. Next I am trying to exchange my equipment and he tells me they don't have it in the store, so I ask if he can have it delivered to my home he immediately tells me no and that I can call customer service, it didn't make sense to me so I ask why, he says it's not a service they do in store I know this is untrue because I've done this in the past when I was informed they didn't have the equipment. So I ask to speak to the manager and after I explain the situation I am informed that Robert can assist with sending the equipment to my home. I inform the manager that Robert said he couldn't. So Robert assist with sending the equipment to my home I ask for a confirmation number once again Robert doesn't want to do his job and he tells me I can get it offline. This is not the experience I expected in store. This is also why most ppl prefer doing everything online. This is also why I will be also calling corporate and continuing my complaint, I didn't come on my lunch break to be provided rude unsatisfactory service when all I needed was to swap my equipment out so I can use the internet I pay for. The manager was nice and effective in assisting me, however if Robert is still at this location I will not be returning he needs a lot of training.

I downloaded the Try Cricket app on my iPhone and tested it out with my then-current provider. I was convinced to switch to Cricket after I tried using my cell phone in my church's basement level (we are meeting there temporarily until the church's roof can be refurbished). My then-current provider had NO signal at all, yet Cricket still had a signal, even though it showed one signal bar on my phone. I then switched later that week online, after which I received an email notifying me that it would take 2 business days to switch over. I had seen the Cricket Wireless store adjacent to the Walmart on South Street, so I decided to stop by to see if they could speed up the process of getting me switched over. The employee on duty, Emely, was helping other customers who were there before me, so I had to wait a short while. When she was ready, she called me over and I explained my situation with proof that I had made the switch online; I just needed to make the switch complete on my device. It was a bit of a laborious process for Emely (she was helping other customers in between), but she punched a few buttons on my iPhone and told me that I was finally switched over to the Cricket Wireless network. :-) I signed up for the $55.00/month unlimited data plan. Since I elected to have my monthly payments on auto pay, I get a $5.00 discount, so I end up paying $50.00/month. Emely was very welcoming, friendly, and patient while she got the process started in switching me over to Cricket. So far, the service is working flawlessly. I highly recommend the service and this particular Cricket store for sure.

Review for Cracked My Phone - Lakewood Employee: Edgar…read more After a long and frustrating day calling multiple repair shops and even stopping by the Samsung store in Cerritos, I finally found Cracked My Phone, and Edgar was the reason I felt relieved enough to stop searching. My daughter's Galaxy S22 Ultra screen cracked inside her backpack, and she needed a replacement ASAP. Other places either tried to upsell us, couldn't give a straight answer about pricing or availability, or became pushy the moment we asked about the difference between original and aftermarket screens. One store even called me four times after I politely said I would look elsewhere. Edgar was the complete opposite. He answered every question with patience, honesty, and zero pressure. He didn't rush me, didn't try to upsell, and didn't call repeatedly after giving me a quote. He simply provided clear information and genuine customer service, something that's rare these days. Because of his professionalism, I'll be dropping off my daughter's phone tomorrow and taking my business here. A little patience and honesty truly go a long way, and Edgar showed both. Highly recommend.

Can I leave zero stars??…read more Edgar was not at his business when it was supposed to open at 10 AM (at least that's what the lettering on the door says) and then tried to turn the tables on me when I called and texted. (I had called the day before) He didn't answer the phone, but texted that he'd arrive in 5 minutes. I told him I'd wait in my car and asked if he could let me know when he arrived...and then nothing. 20 minutes later when I texted back, he said 'i said I would be there in 5 minutes' (screenshot attached) Unprofessional. Zero Customer Service. Rude. I like to support small businesses, but will not spend a cent with someone as entitled and rude as this. He also had the audacity to ask if no one would fix my phone for what I paid to have the identical fix performed before...and although he's only a couple blocks from my house, I will take my device anywhere else BUT here. Lakewood deserves better

The price he quoted me for the battery replacement was $80.00, which I thought was a fair price. If I ever need service on my phone again, I will not hesitate to come back to Thuan's shop.

Just 46 days ago, I paid them $200 to replace the screen on my iPhone. Now, less than two months later, the screen has developed a bright pink line running straight through the middle of it. You would think that after more than a DECADE of giving a local business your money, they would stand behind a $200 repair that failed after only 46 days. Apparently not. I spoke with the owner and his wife, and rather than taking care of a longtime customer, they refused to honor the repair because their warranty is only 30 days. Let that sink in. A $200 iPhone screen lasts 46 days, and their response is essentially: you are 16 days outside our warranty, so that's your problem. I understand having warranty policies. What I don't understand is selling a customer a $200 screen that fails in a month and a half and then hiding behind a 30 day policy instead of standing behind the quality of your work or the parts you sell. And what makes this especially disappointing is that I wasn't some random first time customer. I supported Xpress Cellular Repair for OVER 10 YEARS. Ten years of customer loyalty apparently isn't worth 16 days of flexibility. That's the part that tells me everything I need to know about how this business values its longtime customers. If you're considering getting an expensive phone repair here, I would strongly recommend asking yourself one question first: What happens on day 31? Because based on my experience, if that repair fails shortly after their 30 day warranty expires, you may be stuck paying for it all over again. After more than a decade as a customer, they've lost my business over their refusal to stand behind a $200 screen that lasted 46 days. Extremely disappointing way to treat a loyal customer. UPDATE: Then the owner respond to my Yelp review as well as my Google review and says there was physical damage to my phone (which there isn't), to cover himself for the public. DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT USE THEIR SERVICES. These people are about profit, not community, or standing on the products that THEY SELL! THEY ARE SCAMMERS!!

1 Star - Terrible Experience, Avoid at All Costs…read more Back in Dec 2024 I brought my Samsung Galaxy Flip5 to The Fix at the Lakewood Mall to repair a spreading dead pixel on the inner screen. The total cost was $551.24, and I deeply regret ever trusting this shop with my phone. Before the repair, my phone worked perfectly--I had strong cell signal everywhere I went, hardly any dropped calls, and fast internet speeds. After The Fix replaced the inner screen, my phone became nearly unusable. Calls began dropping constantly, internet searches would either take forever or not load at all, and I had little to no signal, even at home where I previously had full bars. I did some research and learned that with Samsung Flip phones, replacing the inner screen is tricky and requires carefully reconnecting an antenna under the screen that controls cellular reception. I suspected that the employee at The Fix failed to reconnect it. When I brought the issue back to his attention, the same employee who worked on my phone refused to take any accountability. He made one successful phone call on my phone and claimed that proved there was no issues, insisting he "does good repair work." He told me to come back again if the issues persisted, but why would I trust the person who broke my phone to fix it correctly the second time--especially when he refused to recheck his own work the first time I asked? I ended up taking my phone to uBreakiFix in Downey. They confirmed the phone had been incorrectly repaired, and although they offered to fix it for the same price I had already paid, I chose to cut my losses and just buy a new phone. With the same SIM card, same cell phone service provider, and using my new phone in the exact same locations as before, my new phone has zero issues--no dropped calls, fast internet, and full bars all the time. To me, this confirms that the problem was 100% caused by the repair from The Fix. I had my Flip5 repaired at the location that's close to the T-Mobile inside the mall, but I would avoid both of the locations of The Fix inside the Lakewood Mall. They are unhelpful, dismissive, and clearly not trained to handle complex repairs--especially for newer devices like the Samsung Galaxy Flip5. I wasted over $550 and was left with a broken phone. Learn from my mistake and take your electronics somewhere else.
