Not for this store specifically, but here is the letter I just wrote to Hans Vestberg, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Before you move to Verizon, consider the following - and I know of many others who have had similar struggles:
Mr. Vestberg,
I write to you only after hours on the telephone, in chat and in the Verizon community messenger system (communicating with Verizon representatives) trying to get problems resolved with your employees. I have been promised the problem would be resolved over and over, only to find that nothing has been done.
Short version: I ordered an upgrade to my Verizon phone on July 26. When it was not ready for pick up several days later, I contacted Verizon for the first time. To be honest, I have spoken to so many employees who have made promises, I cannot take you through a clear sequence. I would encourage you to review all records of my communications on the phone, in chat and in the Verizon messenger, where you will find that I have been promised that my phone order would be completed within days, my trade-in balance would be waived, or that the order would be cancelled so I could start again.
Each time the representative seemed very certain and very pleased that they had handled my problem. I asked that the issue be escalated on many occasions, and the representative I spoke to last week assured me it had been escalated and it will be taken care of. As of this writing, my account still shows that the upgraded phone is ready to be set up, despite the fact it has been neither delivered nor received. The online system will not let me make any changes to my account because of this pending issue (this has been the case since July 26). I am ready to move to another carrier - my account is basically frozen, and I have spent way too much time trying to get it resolved with Verizon's representatives.
At this point, I am researching options to have this issue addressed by a governmental agency, only because I've run out of options. I also intend to transfer my service to another provider - the only reason I have not done so yet is that it will likely require a visit to a provider's store and hours more of my time. Again, I have run out of options.
I can be reached at . The Verizon account number is . I grant permission to review my records for the purpose of investigating the claims in this email.
Thank-you,
