Out of 3 experiences I've had at this particular store, I haven't had a positive one yet, today being the most recent bad experience. Let me be clear: if good customer service is what you seek, look elsewhere.
I just got a new iPhone 8 at this store, and while I was trying to get everything switched over, the store associate was continually trying to upsell my wife and me on things we didn't want, like cell phones and smart watches for our toddlers (what??), accessories to hook up to our car, and more. One add-on I did reluctantly purchase was a screen protector; I never had one before and my last phone was fine, but since we were in the store and they could put it on for me, I went for it.
When they finished applying the exorbitantly expensive screen protector, the upper left corner hadn't adhered to the screen, and the associate reassured me that it would seat in a couple of days. It didn't. Weeks later, I took it back in when 20% of the screen was covered in an air bubble. A different associate said she would "do me a favor this one time" to replace the protector that they originally messed up and didn't apply properly. Once again, the edges were not adhered to the screen, and once again I was reassured that it would seat in a couple of days. I was also told that I would have to take it to the Zagg counter at Mayfair next time and they would handle it.
Today, with 25% of my screen covered in an air bubble that happened because the second screen protector was not properly installed, I took it to Zagg where I was told I had to pay $15 for my "lifetime warranty replacement" - Of course I wouldn't pay another dime, so I took it back to this store, where the Verizon employee refused to replace it, then got a manager to tell me they would "do me a favor" and get one sent to me in the mail so I could put it on myself. I argued until they got tired of me, they finally caved, and improperly installed another screen protector. I left, but not before they made it explicitly clear that they would not take responsibility for any more of their mistakes in the future.
In my line of work, if my workmanship is poor, I'm held responsible for it and I fix it. I don't tell people I'm "doing them a favor" when I fix my mistakes. I also don't tell them to call somebody else and pay them more money to fix my mistakes when I've offered a lifetime warranty.
Now I get to wait for my screen protector's existing air bubble (from 20 minutes ago) to expand to the point of being intolerable, I will revisit the store, and I will not leave until they either replace it again or credit my account for their mistake. And maybe if they don't treat me like a liar taking advantage of them I will add a star or two to this review. read more
