KC and the entire staff at the store was terrific. I was especially fortunate to have Ryan take care of me. He was knowledgeable, efficient, great at multi-tasking, and above all else PATIENT. Ive been a Verizon customer for some time now and its experiences like the one at Russell that make me remain a long-time customer! Thanks guys!

.. I called this Location directly since I have been a long time local customer, For a replacement Verizon phones. Their website said they were open till 8, but when I Called to confirm the hours and that they had my specific phone, Abraham said they were open till 7, and they had the phone I wantedWhen I Went to the store, Alexander Assisted me. He was Helpful but He told me they had to order the phone Which would be delivered to the store in two business days and told me that they didn’t have it in stock. I went specifically to that store so that I could have a phone that night since my phone died.The only other option was a more expensive phone from an opened Display phone. I decided to go with the phone since I needed it. I asked if they could give me some sort of discount or throw in a phone case,Since it was an open box item. Alex and Abraham said the manager wasn’t there and the Mgr was the only one that can make the decision.As I’m waiting for my phone to get activated, I hear Abraham offer to the guy next to me a 10% discount for his phone and case purchase without the guy even asking for a discount.So they’re not consistent. I discovered that it’s not owned by the original owner and now called Russell cellular. I’m typically a loyal customer if I get treated right but I’m not sure if I’ll go back to that location when it’s time for a new phone again.I’ve Been a loyal customer of that business since they were in Deer Park, many years ago. Alexander was helpful,But my overall experience with the new co was mediocre at best

These guys are literally the best at what they do, professionalism, amicable demeanor, exceptional customer service and family oriented! They will go the extra mile to ensure you are properly served and satisfied! Karan is one of the most amazing Reps there and Bobby is literally a Samurai with the laying of the screen protector lol! It lives up to and even surpasses the Verizon standards of excellence which is why I will always come here!

I went to Massapequa on a Tuesday when my battery seized. I had to wait 45 minutes or make an appt for next week. I was repeatedly told they do not fix phones and I should go someplace else. I had insurance so they ordered me a new phone (waited a day and a half) mumbled instructions and ushered me out.After problems with the aim card and st my wits end I went to West Islip. I was greeted immediately and helped by the nicest who instantly got my phone up and running. I wish I got his name!I will never waste going any place else

Review №48

The guys right here are some of the best people I’ve ever met when it comes to working in this kind of industry. They have always gone above and beyond for everybody including myself that I recommended to them. I’ve had singular Nextel AT&T T-Mobile I even had MetroPCS for a little while never have I ever received Customer Service in the rhyme or fashion that KC gives along with his team. I drove from new Jersey to deal with them in Babylon just for a phone upgrade because of the amount of knowledge and respect that they have for what appears to be all of their clients

A friend recommended this place to me and Im glad I took her advice. I will be going here from now on. They really took the time to explain all my options and honestly tried to get me a phone and plan that both made sense for me and saved me money. I left completely confident that I made the right decision with the phone I picked and the plan Im on. Highly recommend them

I would have switched to T-mobile or Sprint a long time ago for a cheaper plan but the reason Im still with Verizon is because the guys that work in this store are the best at helping you with whatever you need.

Review №53

If you hate shopping for phones and plans as much as I do then you are going to love coming to see KC at Russell cellular. KC makes it so simple and he cuts through all the extra nonsense. When you walk out you will have a good idea 💡 f what to expect from your new phone/ plan, especially what to expect on your next bill! KC is a straight shooter and I wouldn’t trust anyone else!

Great stop. Very attentive to customers. They make contact with you as soon as you walk in. Even when they are busy.

Review №68

In hindsight, my earlier high rating of this firm was totally inaccurate. After purchasing two new cell phones (with a cost of approximately $2,600) and being charged well over $300 on the purchase date no receipt was ever provided for those charges. In addition, I was never advised that the cost of the new phones was now being charged over 30 months as opposed to to the prior phones which was over 24 months and was only made aware of this once a Verizon Bill was received. Finally, multiple requests over the last several weeks have remained unanswered from your firm for the upgrade costs that I was told would be paid by your firm. In order to avoid any issues to my credit I will be paying these directly and will bring my business elsewhere in the future.

My Father that works for Nissan of Garden City has been dealing with Jesse, Rog and KC for years even when they owned a store in Deer Park off Bayshore road back in the early 90’s. My family has used them for almost 30 years. I was having problems with my phone not charging for almost a week and he said let’s go to West Islip and see KC he always take care of us. We went there tonight on 09-16-2020 around 5:45pm and said hello to KC and a gentleman by the name of Anil helped us who we never met before and let me tell you he went above and beyond to get our problem resolved, I did leave with a new iphone 11 because my old phone was breakfast meaning (shot)non repairable, which I new because my brother said you need to go to Verizon after looking at it. My brother is a genius with electronics so I had a feeling it could not be fixed once he said that.So we had to transfer my info and photos to the new phone and it was very difficult because the old phone was on one leg, battery life was always below 5% and took for ever to charge it to get there. We had to leave the phone overnight to see if everything would transferred to the icloud. We got home around 8:40pm they even stayed later after hours trying to get this done. We received a phone call around 10pm from the man Anil saying try to restore the ICloud now it looks like we were able to back up your phone and we saved everything. Well it’s now 10:45pm and it worked !!!! He saved the day by getting me all my photos and my information from a phone that was a complete disaster. I cannot thank Anil enough that’s why I had to write this long paragraph to explain how he went above and beyond his job. Thank you Aniland West Islip Verizon.

We have been using Russell Verizon since our very first cellular phone (probably over 20 years). Never had any issues with customer service at this location. You are greeted with a friendly welcome when you enter the store by KC and staff. Andy spent as much time as I needed and provided me with all the info to upgrade my plan and preorder our iPhone 12 devices. Any issues we ever have they are who we go to. Thank you for always working with us. Great customer service!!

Review №96

BEWARE I have been a customer for over 10 yrs. Early on had concerns when new phone would be identified by Bluetooth, as one of the owners Rajs iPhone. It was my teen daughters phone and worked OK until it was upgraded. Clearly not new. Now I updated sons phone to iPhone 11 (although we requested XR- of course not recommend, old platform and not available, needs to be ordered) and walk out with paying more for something not needed or wanted. The kicker - 10 min later my sons NEW phone is not working. Call Apple tech support - to find out phone is being hacked by 5 people, including his online banking account. 999.99 stolen from CHASE account. Concerning as the transfer of phone info was more than 40 min and not in our presence. CHASE and APPLE blame unsecured transfer at Verizon Wireless. You pay big for the local convenience! Beware. Next phone will be purchased elsewhere.
