I agree with the previous review that the customer service at this store is the worst of any retailer, at least in my 50 years. I have been a loyal Verizon customer since 1991. We have three phones which puts my family plan at over $2200 per year. I was promised $200 trade in per phone with the purchase of the new Iphone 6 and a two year contract. I have two kids in college so I bought two new phones at a total cost of $400, I paided in full and waited over two week for the phones to come in. My one son came home from college and we traded his phone and got the $200. I said I would be back in 10 days when son #2 comes home. When we came back they said the offer is now only $100 since we passed a date that I was never made aware of. They absolutely new of my entire situation and never informed me of a deadline. I explained the details but they fell on deaf ears. I asked to see a mgr. and the GM himself, a Mr. Reed was in the store and at first would not see me but had my sales person offer me $50. I thanked him for the offer but wanted to see the mgr. Mr. Reed came out very smug, "condescending"as the other review stated, and said he would not offer more than $50 and felt that it should be split between Verizon and me. I asked what did I do wrong. He did not answer said $50 was it. I thanked him for the offer and ask him put in writing on the back of his business card and I would consider it but was not satisfied and would call the customer service line. I said you are really going to let me leave disgruntled over $50, that won't make or break either one of us. He said that's it.
I called Verizon customer service who at first only offered me $28 then I got to a higher level which listen and documented my situation put it through arbitration and awarded $128.
For me it was not about the $50, it was about how the GM mishandled this customer's situation. He made it personal.
When I did trade in my phone and get only the $100, the sales person was very nice. He walked with me out the door and asked if there was anything else he could provide and would appreciate a good survey score if he and the store deserved it.
I told him he would get a 10 the store which is a refection of the GM a 1. He was disappointed to hear that and I explained my experience. He offered the additional $50 that was on the back of the GM business card. I thanked him and declined the offer as I said to your GM it was never about the $50 it was about how you choose to treat your customers. read more
