Spotted this location after stopping at an "authorized retailer" with only Verizon signage outside, so I was quite upset when I got inside and they're all, "oh we're not a REAL Verizon..." Anywhoo, this location rocked. There was a nice man trying to show me games to play on a pad computer while I waited for tech support, but tech support called me before I got to play with the computer. And tech support was great. They have a great team of people here who work well together, have a good time doing good work, they kept me entertained while we waited forever for my data to transfer to my new phone (my own fault, saved way too many texts), and they give their customers good service. Great location. read more

If you are military or work for the military, avoid this place like the plague! I went there because verizon promotes 25% off accessories for military . So while my wife ws buying a case and screen protector, I asked the manager. He said that stopped today! I called verizon and they said not true! The man as ger would not budge st all. He kept trying to push the bundle for things we did not need. Since we were buying a phone and running out of patience, my wife went ahead and bought the bundle with no 25% military discount. And to top it off, this was 4th of July weekend! Is this how u treat the military? Disgusting! read more

Love this Verizon location! - Not inside the mall (dont have to deal w/ mall traffic and other dingdongs) - Parking is plentiful - Customer service is very knowledgeable and for the questions they dont have the answers to, they actually tell u that they dont know and go out of their way to get the answers for you. I thought they were going to give me some BS answers to my techi questions, but nopes... they had me pleasantly surprised. - Fast to greet and acknowledge their customers as well. I'll definitely return to this location for any and all of my Verizon needs. read more

When I had a Verizon branded phone the tech services here was great. Also, the sales people here are really friendly and helpful whenever you walk in. There are times when it has been really really busy, especially around lunchtime so i suggest going at another time. Otherwise, they will put you on a list and you can wait around playing with computers and phones. Now I only go in here when I have billing questions since I have an iPhone and buy my phones and get tech services at the Apple Store instead. There is plenty of parking in the lot so that is really helpful if it is busy inside. They also have good hours which helps when your phone decides to die at the most random hours of the day. This is a great Verizon store. read more

Sandy went above and beyond to help me port over my old number to my new phone. I hope she gets some type of credit or recognition. She is super knowledgeable and so helpful!!!! It's so nice to see EXCELLENT customer service in this day and age... THANKS Sandy!!! read more

This location at McCarthy Ranch is the TOTAL opposite to the one I went to at the Auto Mall! I did have to wait, but the wait was nothing compared to my last experience at a Verizon Store. I had called ahead and knew exactly what I was getting so I didn't have to beat around the bush. Thu was super friends and knows his stuff! I was in and out in NO time and everything was perfect. I even got my first check-in at this store with my new phone. Thank you VERY much and if I ever need any wireless services withVerizon, I will make sure to come here. Aside from the oustanding service, this location has plenty of parking! It is set up pretty much to the same way other Verizon stores, so nothing fancy here. read more

1 Star I take it back................all of it except the customer service part. They sold me a brand new BROKEN phone. Never had more than 2 bars, dropped at least 10 calls a day. Texts didn't get to me and my texts showed in my phone that they were sent, but they weren't received. Customer service used to know all the phones inside-out, now when I call to see what the problem is, they pull up a manual on their computer and try to look it up. They don't know the product anymore and will ALWAYS try to dismiss it as a "dial *228 to update" problem. The one month I had my phone, I "updated" at least 5 goddamn times! and none of it made a difference. Ended up going back to AT&T and getting an iPhone. read more

Upon entering the store, I was greeted by a tablet carrying greeter who explained what number I was to receive help and estimated time. There was no wandering around wondering when I would receive help. My sales/technical support guru was Chien Nguyen - he basically rocks. I was transferring my work phone to my personal phone. Not only did he answer at least 20 questions, he efficiently got the line switched over and then provided me with his personal email address and cell phone if any questions came up after I leave the store. I did end up having to connect with him about 3 weeks after he got me all set up and he was able to resolve a minor billing issue I was having. Truly excellent support and service! read more

Andrew was great!! He was more than happy to assist me with questions about my phone. He was able to guide me through my apps, and got me up and running in no time, and out of the store!! read more

Worse store Bought screen protector, they installed and it felt off less than a week Brought back and they denied to replace or help at all. Leon was the bad rep. there Kudo to Verizon rep. on the phone for getting me a replacement for free read more

Came to get my screen replaced under warranty. Andrew was very helpful, smooth, and professional. He had the most uplifting personality, if I need any help or questions I will be asking for Andrew. Much luv read more

horrible customer service at this location.HORRIBLE! Waited about 45 minutes and not one person acknowledge that I was even there. They even helped 2 others customers who walked in after me.( I guess my boobs aren't big enough for them) Left pissed off and remembered there was another Verizon at the Great Mall. As I headed towards the store I stopped at a T Mobile and decided to purchase my phone there. McCarthy Ranch Verizon you suck and I will never patronize your company again. read more

I bought a phone today and screen saver and case. They screen saver was damage so I went back to store less than a hour later and was told I would have to use the dealer warranty they will not help me at store. Than the manager Roland spent the next few mins telling me all the things verizon will not do for me. He was in no way helpful and told me to call the dealer if I wanted any help. Worst Verizon store and manger I have encountered. Don't go to this store all the other stores I have been to have been helpful. read more

vz sucks. if you are a biz customer, dont ever expect any level of support from their consumer side who works the during weekend. dont expect any support from their 800 biz side. one needs to deal w whatever company your company decided to outsource the work to. all will give you the run around. even if you try to call the 800 number on the packing slip, they will tell you to bugger off and turn you to an office that is closed during the weekend. no point coming here. when i had an att biz account, i could walk into a store for xyz assistance without issues. i can call the biz line for assistance during the wknd. not w vz. too much bureaucracy and penny pinching. read more

Great customer service got a new LG K20V and a Screen protector for it I would come again because of customer service

My family and I came here to get our phones switched over from T-Mobile and these guys stayed open even past the time that they were closed because google said they close 1/2 hour later than they actually did. They sold us all our phones and it was really nice of them. Thanks a lot for everything. read more

Last week I went to this store Verizons in Mccarthy Ranch and asking ,when my next upgradeable date,the lady told me this coming May of 2011. The next day when I called again the guy told me the next upgradeable date will be next year on May 2012. They have two opinions,I don't know which one is right.Some workers need to be train. read more

I had a problem with my sim card for my phone and came over here to fix it. It was about 6, prime time for people getting off work at other areas but there was only one other customer in front of me and one customer rep working. The manager was walking around looking busy and told me I'd be helped soon but it took 20 minutes for someone else to come out and help me and another 20 minutes to fix my problem. Could use a little lesson in efficiency but things got done I suppose. read more

Horrible customer service! I went in to purchase the Samsung s7 due to the commercials saying it is water proof and can go into fish tanks and get wet and still work. When I went to purchase it Janelle who is very rude said the phone is not water proof nor can it go into water or have champagne poured on it because it will break. I said the commercials depict a different review and she said that's something I need to take up with Samsung and not her. She did say if it breaks I could pay $100 to get a new phone through insurance but what's the purpose of that. Avoid this location if you can. read more

Very happy with my Verizon experience. I was a Metro user (I know, collective groan) looking to change. I went to the AT&T store first and spent over an hour there while the salesman and manager tried to talk me into the new "Next" program. Clearly there is a bonus in it for the salesman because the manager told me it was stupid not to do it. That was the point that I left and went to Verizon. My Verizon sales person, Tan, actually listened to what I wanted and helped me quickly. He made recommendations but did not push anything that I didn't want. I bought two new phones, service and a bunch of accessories. The store manager, Mike, was also very helpful. I highly recommend this Verizon store if you want to avoid pushy sales people. AT&T's insistence that I buy a product I didn't want, pushed me out the door and into the arms of another provider. And for that I am grateful because it saved me money too! It took me a while to figure out why the AT&T store was so busy and the Verizon store was calmer and less hectic. Now I know why...because AT&T wastes so much pushing their newest whatever and NOT LISTENING, that it dominoes and makes everybody wait longer. Somebody needs to look at that. But me? I'll just enjoy my new Galaxy from Verizon. So there. read more

Verizon had a reputation for superior service. Not at the McCarthy Ranch, Milpitas office. If you ask for something, such as a battery or special service and their answer is "no" they just drop you and don't offer help you with your problem. They don't suggest alternates. They don't make suggestion, they just answer with a monosyllabic "no" and stare at you. read more

The staff here as far as I've experienced are absolutely amazing. I've been to other verizon stores (mercado, malls, etc) and they were JUST meh. Doing their work. So on so forth. Not this store. Not Tuyen Nguyen! The bf and I walked in 15 minutes before closing one night cuz we were in the area after getting massages and he wanted to look at the curve. He at the time was with sprint, but they had already closed so we hopped on over to Verizon cuz I had verizon. That night Tuyen, was extremely curteous not pushy as we were just browsing through phones. After much discussion and debate we decided to take advantage of the buy one blackberry get one free deal and signed him up with verizon so I got to upgrade my EnVy to the curve yay! Tuyen and his manager? walked us through all the steps and was helpful and informative without rushing us to get done. We walked out of there happily fiddling with our 2 new blackberrys and unlimited data plan. 3 weeks later I somehow cracked my blackberry screen and brought it in to see Tuyen. When we walked in, I was surprised and slightly embarrassed that he remembered both of us by name, as we'd been in a couple more times for things here n there. He let us know he'll be with us in a moment. As I waited for him to finish with his last customer, I was watching the other associates and how they handled other customers, and from I've seen, I think everyone walked out of the store happy. When Tuyen got to see my phone he immediately went to the back to speak with his manager to see what he could do. He didn't want us to go through the hassle of insurance, and brought to me a couple of different options, both cheap and reasonable. I really appreciated the fact that he tried to help instead of pushing the sale of another blackberry on me which others would have easily done. In the end I walked out with a replacement blackberry and was pleased with the service received. Oh and they have a bowl of candy on the counter... what?! free candy?? I'm down! =) read more

This store is running a shady operation. Two weeks ago I show up at the McCarthy Ranch Verizon store in Milpitas, CA and ask if I can pre-order the Droid X They told me flat-out that they cannot accept any pre-orders for the phone, so I show up to the store this morning prior to opening to get in line. When I arrived there was about 5 people ahead of me in line. The doors hadn't opened, but the store manager was outside getting people's information. When he gets to me, he informs me that they only had 10 phones in-stock and that they were all spoken for. WHAT THE F**K?!?!? A couple of other guys arrive behind me and tell the manager, "We spoke to Chris earlier." The manager just acknowledged the guys and didn't give them the same information he told me. I was furious, so I just left. I called the Verizon customer service number and they also confirmed that they were not supposed to accept pre-orders for the Droid X. I guess it's safe to say that unless you're buddies with Chris, you're not getting a Droid X today from the McCarthy Ranch Verizon store in Milpitas, CA. Sufficed to say, I will never come back this Verizon store. read more

This store only wants to make more money. Please do not fool yourself with their large store. My phone was dead. I have been there waiting for a long time and they told me that I am not eligible for the upgrade. I went to ANOTHER store (in Oakland rd) and they simply show me my Verizon profile which indicates I was eligible for the upgrade: a very good deal to buy a cellphone. In this store they want people to buy devices in full price. They do not even bother themselves to look into your profile and guide you. I am so sorry that they have a good location and a large place, all wasted. read more

Can you guys explain why there are 45 minutes waits to talk someone ?? You have one person employed , whose sole job is to tell people how long the wait is....what is that ? Why dont you hire 2 more people and there would be no wait. Its easy logic , you pay someone 20 bucks an hour, but every sale you make is hundreds... so hire more people and make more sales. Its not hard. Stop being bad at what you do. Use common sense. The guy literally does nothing but greet people at the door and tells them to wait...why doesnt he help customers. Wow its so simple. Hire me and in a few weeks all waits will be gone. You are bad at what you do. Thanks. read more

Don't ever go to this store. They messed up your orders and cause infinite more store visits and phone calls which can't even solve the trouble for over a week. Absolutely NO. read more

Just actually left the store. I was greeted immediately by who I think was store manager and was quickly helped by a very nice employee named Cameron. I came in today to change my plan for myself and my family, and I was in and out of there satisfied. Got my plan changed, he was very well specific and helpful with which plan would work best, and received great customer service. Thanks guys! read more

30 minutes of my Saturday wasted!!!! My husband has to buy a Verizon LG phone for work. We walked into Verizon telling them we just need to buy the phone. We don't want it to be on service and no contract. The employee at the door told us he thinks they have it but is not 100% sure. He took down our name and told us to wait. There were a few people there before us so we waited until our turn. When we thought that it was our turn, the employee started helping people that came after us. Finally when we were the only one left that's not being helped, one of the employee came and ask us how he can help. When we told him we want to buy the phone, we were told that they do not sell phone off service. It is fine that this is their policy but they should have told us that before the 30 minutes wait. Also, if you have one employee dedicated to be at the door taking down names and asking what people are here for. That person should be able to tell customer what they can and cannot do. Or at the very least, make sure customers are being helped in the order they come in. Side note: we took our $600 business to Best Buy across the street right afterward. Not only did we get the phone, they even gave us a $150 gift card. So thank you Verizon for not selling us the phone. read more

Thus review is only for the current manager of the store, HIS NAME IS PAUL. And if I could have gave him a negative star I would have. I asked him very politely how much longer the wait was going to be. He said once he had a person available I would be helped. I was confused the store was pretty much empty and I had been waiting a half a hour already. Then one lady was about to help me and he sent her on lunch. WTF I get people need lunches I'm not mad about that but being in retail they should really plan better or shut down for lunch or just tell me that it would be an hour or so before anyone could see me. No instead he says "sorry I have to obey by government laws, I know people don't need lunches" in a very sarcastic and (excuse my French) B***chy tone. At that point I had had it I was storming out that door then I finally got helped. Idk what it takes to be a manager here but evidently you have to have horrible customer service skills and a crappy attitude, and you got the job. Aren't managers suppose to be the ones to keep clients, not pitch them an attitude and send them out the door? Version wireless needs to rethink his management position. Then the nicest lady named Kathryn helped me and SHE is the one that saved me from going to another carriar, that's right Paul was that god awful I was going to switch my phone service. But back to Kathryn, She is the absolute best. She should be the manager. Thankfully I got her card and never have to deal with that douche bag Paul again. read more

Went here to get the new iphone 5s and talk about the slow service. The reason for the high stars is because the staff did the best they could to accomodate everyone. They had one person who was going around making small talk which at least went on to show they were trying. This verizon store management needs to do a better job of staffing. We waited for over an hour and a half before we were helped. If verizon didnt have a solid grip on our lives with their contracts we wouldn't have waited that long. #verizon read more

I've been coming to this store for the last 5 years, never really had any problems except for occasion long waits. I upgraded my phone and brought the new one in for them to transfer the old data into the new with great service. Ian was the representative and he was just great! I'd recommend this store. read more

Thanks Christian for being able to answer my questions regarding my account quickly and concisely! Store was also clean and I was greeted by several employees shortly after coming in. read more

There payment center has been out of service every time I come here for the last 2 months with all the money vzw makes off its costumers you would the things would work here read more

Wosrst device ever. Customer service is so bad I'm closing my account after 18 years. They lost my new phone in delivery and wanted me to get back on call-in customer service center for multiple 45 minute waits. Clearly they they screw up but don't want to serve their customers. GO AT& T or anywhere else read more

Very rude Sales rep and store manager. I walked in to check a phone I wanted to buy. They asked for my verizon phone # and when they knew that I have a cooperate account (no sales commission) , they said we cannot help you and turned their back and walked away. I went to AT&T store across the street and got all my questions answered. read more

The guys here are awesome! Very customer oriented and attentive to absolutely everyone that walks in the door. Cristian helped me out greatly multiple times setting up my new phone and plan and made sure I was getting exactly what I wanted. Being Canadian made the process a bit more difficult but he managed to still get me all the credits and things I needed and all very quickly! They didn't have the phone I wanted in stock, so they ordered it for me and it arrived literally the next day. Wayne was also very helpful, he took the time to try and get a certain charge off my new plan for me. In the end it didn't work but I really appreciated the time he took to try. Very happy with my switch to Verizon already! read more

My Blackberry Storm died on me so I had to go in for another phone. I'll admit that I was in a bad mood having to buy a phone because I was perfectly content with my BB. Anyhow, I went in and was helped by Jessica B. who provided some of the best customer service I've had ANYWHERE in a long time. She took her time to explain the difference between the phones I was looking at but was not pushy. She even took my Blackberry to see if she could get it to work and suggested that perhaps I just needed a new battery. The phone was dead so I ended up getting a Droid and some accessories. Big kudos to Jessica for actually making buying a new phone an enjoyable experience. read more

This review is for Jeremy who is the best Verizon guy I have ever worked with. After a horrible experience with the downtown San Jose Verizon called click away I was pretty much done with trying to get an upgrade. I called in on the phone Jeremy let me know what they had in stock and made sure everything was ready when I got there. He made the process so quick and easy I was in and out with my new phone in 40 minutes. He was so professional and never pushed anything on me I didn't want. Unlike the scum at the San Jose store these guys are professionals here and put their customers first. I will come back here for all my Verizon needs including family and friend upgrades. Ask for Jeremy if you want top notch service without being pushed around or pressured into anything. read more
