I called Verizon on 10/19 to cancel my services, but ended up keeping the internet. As such, I needed to return my dvr and cable box, along with the remotes. The Verizon rep said I could keep my current router and wouldn't be charged for a new one, or they could send me a new one that would be $9.99/mo. I told her I didn't want the router.
Well, a few days later, guess what showed up? The router. What didn't show up? The boxes to send the equipment back.
Well, I waited a few weeks, but they never came. Today, I called Verizon to figure out what's up with my boxes to send my equipment back and what the deal with the router they sent me was.
My first call, at 4:20 EST was 15 minutes. The rep told me that there was nothing she could do because I had an open case, which was my equipment return. Even though I kept saying, the problem is with my case, she just said call back in 1-2 days. Well, it's been 13 business days and I'm getting emails reminding me to return my equipment, so that's not acceptable. When I asked to speak to a manager, she said the manager would say the same thing. I said I would like to speak to the manager anyway, and when I said that, she hung up on me. I couldn't believe it. I waited for her to call back, but nope, she sure didn't. Completely unacceptable.
I called at 4:36, talked to a different lady that managed to figure out how to send me the boxes they needed to ship within 8 minutes.
Some of your customer service people are just terrible.
