      What could we have done to make your experience better? - Train service representatives to be honest about the additional costs. Is was the worst experience of my life. They changed me $332.00 of extras without informing me. They added liquid and glass protector without using me if I wanted it and charged me $64.99 for each of them plus told me I could not return it even if I did not ask for it to be added. They make their money on tricking customers by adding the add ons so they can make their commissions. The manager was rude and the District Manager would not return my request for a call back or answer my emails. The DM’s name is ******* *********** and the location is at **** ******** ***** **** ********* ** *****. Manager was sitting in his car in the front of the store smoking something and playing his music loud. The girl that scammed me this ****** P. She called the manager from his car to come deal with me. They also change a data transfer fee of $25.00 that the corporation does not. ****** did not explain the extras or costs to me. I did not even get a receipt. She emailed it. I was charged over $300.00 not including tax.

      Verizon Wireless is currently offering up to an $800 trade-in value for the iPhone 13 product line. The requirements include trade-in of an eligible device as well as being on or upgrading to an eligible 5G plan. Following the online flow, we upgraded our 5G plan for an extra $10 per month to participate in the offer. I then selected one of the devices on my plan for trade-in for an iPhone 13 Pro (256gb), which resulted in an $8.33 per month charge being added to our monthly bill. My mother was presented the option of in-store pickup, which we selected and then picked the stated location nearest my home, as I am an account manager and am authorized to pickup devices (my mother lives over an hour away from the location and it is a significant inconvenience to travel given age and arthritis). The location was: Victra ********** ***** ***** Blvd - Verizon Authorized Retailer ***** ***** ***** ********** ****** ** ***** On July 4th, 2022, my mother received an email indicating order was ready for pickup. The email indicated: "Good news, your order is ready and can be picked up by you or any of your Account Managers. We'll hold it at the store for 4 days before it's canceled. Items needed for pickup*: Identification, including your Government-issued photo ID or Verizon Pass (QR Code) in the My Verizon App Credit/debit card if used to place order" On July 5th, 2022, I visited the location noted above and provided both his government issued photo ID (CA Drivers License) as well as the Verizon Pass (QR Code) noted above. The location representative denied me delivery of the device stating that an account PIN or the account owner must be present to collect the device. This set of requirements was not made clear at any point during the purchase flow, and in-fact is completely absent from the pick-up email received. I then contacted Verizon Support, who informed me that the promotion is due to expire soon, the order cannot be moved to another location.

      Better Business Bureau:



      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. I should note that the resolution was achieved only through my own efforts in-coordination with Verizon directly, and advise the business to review their policies and procedures to align to those of Verizon to reduce potential/actual discrepancies.



      Sincerely,



      ******* *******

      I switched over from ******** to Verizon in December 2021. I traded in two phones for new ones where i was supposed to receive credit for each phone that should total $1200. They told me to wait three billing period as it takes that long to show up into my account. However, when i checked my account in March 2022, there was no credit. I called Verizon corporate to check my account and they told me that they do not even see the phone i turned in which both were iPhones. So, I’m stuck with both new phone for the full amount without any sort of credit. I left comment on their page and even reached to their corporate in email but no response. It’s as if they are blatantly ignoring me. This is entrapment and what they are doing should be illegal. According to Verizon corporate not to be mistaken with them as they are separate entity, they didn’t provide me with a receipt which should of had tracking number of the two phone i submitted to be delivered to them so i can receive an update on the status of my credit. I ask the guy that helped me to include that on the receipt which he did not. I called few times and they just ignore me. This is unprofessional and i want my credit for the phone i relinquished to them for the two new phones i have purchased.
