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 had a wonderful experience at this Spectrum location thanks to Oswaldo Zamudio! My dad and…read morestepmom came in with a lot of questions about why their bill was so high for their phone and internet. Oswaldo was incredibly nice, patient, and helpful. He took the time to look into everything and clearly explained the charges to them. It is hard to find such great customer service these days, and we really appreciate his help!

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.

We've been using their services for some time now and we would not have it any other way.

I actually went to a different Best Buy the night before and ended up leaving empty handed because that salesman would not leave our side and was too pushy. When I came to this location, the experience was completely different. Donaldo was the person who helped me. He was extremely patient, especially considering I had my 1-year-old grandson with me who was getting antsy! Donaldo answered all of my questions without making me feel rushed or pressured and mentioned that Best Buy employees don't work on commission, so there really shouldn't be any pressure to make a decision. He also explained the benefits of the $30 membership and what I would actually be getting with it. I appreciate that he took the time to explain it rather than just trying to sell it to me. I'm very happy with my new ASUS laptop and the experience I have every time at this location.

Overall, a very disappointing experience with Best Buy Mobile…read more Thirteen months ago, Best Buy installed a front and rear facing dash cam in my vehicle for $99. The installation took about 40 minutes. I remember because I was originally told it would take an hour, so I left the store and was called sooner than expected to come back. Fast forward 13 months. My dealership offered me a good deal to turn in my leased vehicle early, so I needed to have the cameras removed before returning the car. Since I planned to have Best Buy install the same cameras in my next vehicle, naturally I went back to them. The website didn't provide an option to schedule a dash cam uninstall, so I called Best Buy customer service. The representative was very nice and helpful. I explained exactly what I needed and that I intended to have Best Buy reinstall the cameras in my next vehicle. He initially told me the uninstall would cost $149, which already surprised me considering the original installation had only cost $99. After reviewing my history, he noted that I had previously had dash cams installed in two vehicles and said they would like to keep my business. He ultimately told me he would document the appointment as a warranty uninstall at $0. Based on that information, I scheduled an appointment for 4:00 p.m. that same day. At 2:45 p.m., the store called to confirm my appointment and even told me I could come in early. When I arrived, however, I was told the uninstall would cost $149. This led to a frustrating back and forth because I had made the decision to come to Best Buy that day specifically based on what their representative had told me. More importantly, I was turning the vehicle in to the dealership the following morning, so simply leaving and figuring it out later wasn't a practical option. What became apparent during the conversation was that there didn't seem to be a clearly established, published price for this service. We eventually agreed to charge based on labor: $49 for up to 30 minutes or $80 for up to 45 minutes. The technician explained that much of the time involved in removing dash cams can be spent removing the adhesive. I told her not to worry about removing the adhesive, just uninstall the cameras. Less than 20 minutes later, I received a call saying the job was finished. The technician was apologetic about what had happened and suggested that I call customer service again, spend more of my time explaining the situation, and hopefully reach the same representative. I explained that the representative I had spoken with was in a call center in Guatemala, so the chances of reaching that same person again seemed pretty unlikely. And here's the ironic part: when I got home, I put a little hand sanitizer on the remaining adhesive and scraped it off myself in less than 2 minutes. One additional observation: in just 13 months, the quoted price to install a front and rear dash cam has apparently increased by roughly 50%. My biggest issue isn't simply the price. Businesses raise prices. My issue is the lack of consistency and communication. A Best Buy representative quoted me one price, documented an agreement for $0, scheduled the appointment based on that agreement, and then the store presented an entirely different price when I arrived. When your customer service operation and your stores don't appear to be working from the same information, the customer ends up paying for that disconnect, in money, frustration, or wasted time. Between the significant price increases and outsourcing customer service to a BPO in Guatemala while apparently not giving those representatives the ability to provide pricing that stores will honor, Best Buy no longer feels like it is delivering the "Best Buy" or the best customer experience. After being a repeat customer and planning to bring my next dash cam installation back to Best Buy, this experience has definitely made me reconsider that decision.
