I had an ongoing issue with my (supposed to be) $130 bill raised up to a literal $608.02. The fault lies with the northwest highway store, an employee named Charlie told me to give him the router I was returning (within a free 30 day trial period) and he would return it for me, given that he was “already headed that way with equipment to return.” I left them a glowing review, singing their praises. Lo and behold, he never returned the equipment, and my bill was more than tripled. I have been back there SO many times (it’s 40 minutes away from me) and the issue was still never solved. I decided to give this Verizon another shot (they weren’t able to help me with past issues before this one that’s why I went to the other store) and I met Sebastian who got my problem solved. This was my last attempt/trip to a Verizon store before walking away and letting them send my bills to collections, which obviously would have negatively affected me in the long run with my credit score. But I didn’t need to, Sebastian got it figured out for me. Thanks again man.

Sebastian was wonderful! He was the only employee in the store balancing a few customers and he still took time to answer our questions and explain options. Best customer service I have had in a long time.
