Call customer support first or go to another store before walking through these doors.
Went in to upgrade phones, trade-in some older iPhones, change plans and add a couple of lines. THREE hours later, we walked out with our phones and were expecting to return the next day to transfer contacts from an older phone that was just added/upgraded on our plan. Christina, the girl I dealt with at the store seemed very nice. She agreed to waive all three activation fees since I had two family members switch from other providers to jump on the Verizon bandwagon. She also said I would see a credit on my first bill for the two trade-ins. Walked in the next day and waited another hour to speak with Christina. She didn't remember me (really? we just spent three hours together the day before) and actually had someone else transfer the contacts. Whatever, just get it done so we can be on our way.
Fast forward two weeks when my bill was ready. Surprise! Activation fees were not waived and there wasn't a credit on the account for the trade-ins. My $350 cell phone bill made me choke on my coffee. Called customer support about the issues and they said they had to contact the store to get them to adjust my bill and that I would be getting a Visa Prepaid card for the trade-ins. Three hours later, I get a text message from Christina saying she made the adjustment and that it would take a couple of days to be reflected. Okay, problem solved...or so I thought. A week later, credit still had not been applied to my bill. I called customer support again and they promised to get it resolved that day. The lady I spoke with was great! She contacted the store and called me back to say that it would be applied to my account. Another week or so went by and my bill is now due. I paid what I thought I owed and called customer support again. Spoke with a nice guy who took care of the credit on my account within five minutes. Looked online after hanging up and voila! My balance had already been adjusted. ...the Visa cards for the phones I traded-in will be here in another two weeks. Really?
I'm pretty peeved about this whole situation. I've been a Verizon customer since Primeco became AT&T and AT&T became Cingular. So yeah, I've been a customer for over ten years.
Bottom line, the folks at this store will offer deals (that you have to fight for after the fact!) to get you to upgrade and VERY eager to sell their other gear but that's where the customer service ends. read more
