The service I went to the store to ask for help after paying was really terrible. During the process of setting up my account, they didn’t tell me the Pin number and the service hotline couldn’t get through. It took a long time to wait customer service. I went to the store today and it didn’t help me solve the problem.

The sales support in the store was fabulous! They took the time to find out which phone would be the best fit for my upgrade, and answered all of my questions, in addition to offering tons of set-up support. I had a very positive experience at this store.

Very good Verizon on Main Street.Christian is very professional and friendly. He was personable and made us laugh without lacking discretion. He was able to answer every question satisfactorily. He answers your questions quickly in a detailed manner and makes sure you understand everything. Christian is very confident and self assured, I like his confidence when answering questions and speaking.

I wanted help with a technical question about my phone. Instead I was told that they couldn’t help me with my issue. These people only help if you buy. Go to a corporate location instead. Russell cellular needs to do a better job of training employees on customer service.

Very helpful, professional staff. Clean store and very aware of space and social distancing. We needed to upgrade my sons phone, and the old one wasnt transferring data to the new one. Christian helped us and figured out how to make it happen! Very patient and courteous, he went above and beyond to help. We will definitely come back to this location in the future.

I placed an online order with another store to get a new iPhone 12 Pro Max and that store didnt authorize my order and my order got canceled. Then when I wanted to place another online order few days later, my online account didnt allow me due to my pending canceled order. It was like more than 2 weeks and 20+ hours of online chat and call to Verizon customer service to get the issue resolved. It seems like there are good people working in Verizon but they are not either well trained or the system design is extremely flawed compared to Amazon or Apple. It is way more complicated that you can imagine. You need to be lucky to find someone on their end to know what is going on in their system and knows how to fix your issue.My hope was about to turn into disappointment but Christian was a true savior. He told us that he could help us out and he truly did. We spent in the store like 4+ hours talking to different customer service people to get this issue fixed and eventually my online pending cancelation went through and I was able to get the new phone from there!Christian was beyond expectation in terms of patience, respect and knowledge. I havent seen anybody in my shopping experiences as enthusiastic and respectful as he is and his passion speaks volumes and he deserves more than promotion to higher level to be honest.

Mr. DeMarco was very patient, knowledgeable and professional, the afternoon I entered the Verizon store he’s assigned to. Once he found out I needed a new phone number and a protective cover for my phone, he used his excellent customer service skills as he assisted me in a timely manner (to return back to work). Thanks again. 😊

Nabeel is very professional in knowledge and customer service with great personality of understanding and patience. He helped me set up Galaxy S8+ phone my friend gave me. He transferred data from my old Galaxy S7 that has constant auto reboot and slowness problems. He also helped me solve my S8+ couldnt detect my old S7s SD card problem...Besides Nabeel, I also saw other staff in the store helped their customers with professionalism...I highly recommend this store!

I stopped by yesterday needing a new phone and Youseff was VERY patient and helpful (Im not a techy person). He didnt push me into buying a more-expensive new phone than what I needed, and he was super fast at getting everything set up because I had another appointment. I was very impressed, especially since I had a NOT GOOD experience at this store 5 years ago (different employee, obviously). Thanks Youseff!

Review β„–22

We have been repeatedly lied to, overcharged and now ignored. We went into store about 3 weeks ago to upgrade our phones. We were told we would get x amount for trade in. We found out we actually received 1/2 of what was promised. We’ve called and gone into store repeatedly, each time to be told a manger or account manager would call us back. NO ONE has called us back. This week we received our monthly bill and now services have been added that we did not authorize and credits previously there for having multiple Verizon services are gone. DO NOT USE THIS STORE!

The proud, the few, the knowledgeable. Thats how I describe the employees at Verizon Authorized Retailer - Russell Cellular. As soon as I walked in Christian was there to comfort me and tell me all was going to be alright. In that moment I knew 3 things..... I was safe.... I was home...... and I was ready to give him all my money for a dank af phone. I left that store a better man, and I came to here to encourage you, YES YOU, reading this at home, wondering if youre going to buy a phone or not. Im here to tell you the time is now, it has always been now, this is your moment, claim the glory that is a new phone. Let Christian be your trusty companion on this journey of legends. Also if youre reading this, follow me on insta @wfbaskin, and come to my bands show at the Renegade in Arlington VA 2/5/2021 its gonna be lit.

Allan was the best. I am in my 70s and was not looking forward to replacing my old phone. Allan made it so easy and actually a pleasant experience. He even took the time to pair the phone with my car. I recommend the location at the intersecton of Pickett and Little River Turnpike, next to Trader Joes.

Complete scam artists. They do not give you the appropriate information before the sale is complete.... and when you question it, their only response is sorry. I called the corporate office to discuss my situation and was promised a call back. Never happened. Why Verizon no longer owns their own stores is a tragedy. DO NOT go to this retail outlet. You will be scammed.

1 to 3 stars. They wronged me on my warranty and said I was getting 2, $150 credits because of their mistake. That turned into one from them and one from samsung.My uncle just bought the new note 20 ultra and it turns out he got the exact same 2 credits I got, turns out its a verizon and samsung promotion. The manager at this store acted like he did me a favor, also it was either spend the now $100 instore credit right at that moment or lose it. I told him I had to meet a client but he insisted on me looking through accessories and buying it AT THAT MOMENT.At this point they lost my future business.

Review β„–56

NOTE: This is not a Verizon Corporate Store, it is only an authorized retailer. I learned this the hard way.*If you want the quick summary of this post, go to the end.*The employees were nice and seemingly enthusiastic to get me the best deals possible. I thought they were friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately I was tricked.They charged me $880 (not including taxes) for an iPhone 7+ 128GB (Retail: $769) saying that was the price everywhere. They said there were probably hidden fees involved which is why all other stores listed it at $769. They were adamant that their price was the same price as anywhere else.Be aware, they also charge a setup & sync fee which they do not tell you/give you the option to say no, and at $20, you bet most people would say no.I ended up returning the phone, paying the $70 restocking fee. They claim they have to charge $70 because Apple charges it, not them. Which is also ridiculous because Apple only charges a $35 restocking fee.After returning the phone I went to Best Buy, which happened to be right down the street, and got the phone for $769 (not including taxes) and set up and activated for FREE.Be warned, if you’re getting a new phone go to Best Buy down the street, they have plenty of Verizon phones to choose from. If you must go here, just know that you are paying way more than you need to. This store is a scam.

All of the store staff here were very attentive helping me to get a new screen protector for my phone. The sales associate who helped me, Stefan, was particularly attentive: checking to see if there were additional discounts I was valid for and actually advising me about more cost-efficient plans than the one I had. I was in and out of the store so quickly that it left open a lot more free time for me to finish my other tasks.I would definitely recommend coming to this store. One of the best Verizon stores I have been to.

Dont come here to buy any accessories. The official Verizon website says 14 days - these guys are 0 days NO RETURNS!!! If they sell you a defective case, you are out of luck. Save yourself the trouble and find an official Verizon store. These guys rely on deceptive marketing to use a better companys brand to attract customers and offer them much worse.

Review β„–73

We initially visited the store to upgrade to three new phones and to upgrade our service contract. Although, unfortunately, we had a considerable amount of trouble with Verizon Service upgrading our phones and our contract (they made many mistakes on their end), Khalil and his staff never stopped working on our behalf to set things right. We had to visit the store at least a half dozen times over a period of about four months to get everything straightened out, but we were always met with a smile and a willingness to immediately get on the phone with Verizon Service (never a pleasant task) and explain over and over what needed to be done. I would recommend Khalil and his staff to anyone purchasing a phone or plan; it is a pleasure to deal with someone who truly stands behind his product and acts as an advocate for his customers.

We are so fortunate this store opened in our neighborhood - it is now my go to store for all things Verizon, phones, iPads, etc. The employees are so responsive and service-oriented.

She is really great and I am thankful I found her - she saved me a lot of time trying to solve some technical issues on my own.

They dont deserve even zero point much less one.Zero must be an option.Please consider adding zero.i have been a Verizon customer for 16 years.I went to this stir today and they tried to convince me that my monthly payment is twice as much, that Verizon is posted and charged me over 156.00 when I actually only less than half.I tried to make sen every of it but they were trying to sell me a new phone and I think thats why they were trying to convince me the payment would be less than what I was paying.The three guys were not approaching me politely or professionally.They raised their voice and said to leave the store if I do t trust them.I would NOT recommend anyone to use this branch as a Verizon office.They have no loyalty to Verizon or its customers.I will certainly take time to write to headquarters of Verizon about this store and why there should be no business by Verizon with them.
