excessive wait times and poor service across multiple store locations

Business reply on Google

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're very sorry to hear about the frustration you encountered while trying to pick up your router. Being sent from store to store and spending that much time on what should have been a simple pickup is not the experience we want for our customers. We understand how disappointing it is, especially after seeing another customer face a similar situation. Your feedback has been shared with our management team so we can review what happened and identify opportunities to improve communication and inventory coordination between locations. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and apologize for the inconvenience you experienced.

Store failed to disclose additional service fees during phone purchase

Business reply on Google

Hello Eric, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’ve reviewed the transaction with store management to better understand what occurred. This purchase took place on December 17, 2025, and involved three new lines activated under a new account. The devices qualified for a $1,000 promotional credit per phone, and no trade-ins were required as part of that offer. At the time of pickup, the total paid in store was approximately $210 for all three devices combined. An additional credit was also applied to the in-store total by the original representative. The charge you are referencing relates to the “Ready Go” setup and data transfer service. This service covers in-store device setup, activation, and content transfer assistance. Similar setup and support services are offered not only at **Wireless Zone** locations but also at **Verizon** corporate stores. That said, we understand your concern that you did not feel this charge was clearly explained at the time of purchase. You did receive an emailed receipt reflecting the itemized charges, but we acknowledge that a printed copy was not provided in store at the time of the transaction. Moving forward, we will ensure that all customers r

Staff refused to provide store WiFi for customer to make calls

Business reply on Google

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are very sorry for the frustration you encountered during your visit. We understand how stressful it can be to come into a store without service and need immediate assistance, especially when trying to reach the authorized account holder. While there are account-security policies that limit what our staff can do without an authorized user present, there should always be a professional and respectful approach when explaining those limitations. We also regret that you were not offered a reasonable solution or alternative to help you contact the authorized user. Your feedback has been escalated to management for review, as this interaction does not align with our customer service standards. If you are willing, we encourage you to contact our corporate team directly so we can look into this situation further and work toward a resolution. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and apologize again for the experience you had.

Customer charged for service that failed to activate phone functionality.

Business reply on Google

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating it must be to leave the store and then find that your phone is not working as expected. We want to clarify that we do not engage in scam practices, and we take concerns like this very seriously. Number transfers and device activations can sometimes encounter technical issues that prevent calls or messages from working properly, but that does not reflect the experience we aim to provide. We would like the opportunity to review what occurred and correct the issue as quickly as possible. Please reach out to our corporate support team or return to the store and ask to speak with a manager so we can verify the activation, address the charge, and ensure your phone is fully functional. We appreciate you sharing your feedback and hope to resolve this matter promptly.

Unauthorized retailer charged undisclosed fees and added unwanted services to account.

Business reply on Google

Hi Carter. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We understand how frustrating it can be to feel caught off guard by fees and add-ons you did not expect. To clarify, Wireless Zone is an authorized Verizon retailer, which means while we provide Verizon products and services, we are independently owned and operated. Because of this, some of our pricing, fees, and services may differ from what is offered directly through Verizon corporate locations. We do our best to explain these details up front, and we regret if this was not made clear during your visit. Your concerns about the fees and additional services have been noted, and we’ll review them internally to ensure our team is providing full transparency moving forward. If you would like to discuss your experience further, please reach out to us directly and we’ll do our best to assist you. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

Store refused to replace a defective phone and provided poor support.

Business reply on Google

Hello Family of Five. We are very sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration you’ve had in trying to resolve the issue with your device. We understand how important it is to have a working phone and to feel supported when problems arise. To clarify, Wireless Zone is an authorized Verizon retailer, which means while we provide Verizon products and services, we are independently owned and operated. Because of this, our warranty and replacement processes may differ from those of Verizon corporate stores or Apple directly. We always aim to explain these options clearly and assist in navigating the next steps, and we apologize if this was not communicated effectively in your case. Your feedback regarding communication with our management team has been noted, and we will be reviewing this situation internally to improve how concerns are handled moving forward. If you are still in need of assistance, please reach out to us directly and we will do our best to help find a resolution. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
