When the Samsung Note was initially recalled I took my phone to my local dealer as directed by Verizon. The replacements were not yet available and the clerk Matt gave me a very hard time about putting me into another phone while waiting for the replacement. Matt told me the owner, Brian, did not want to "incur the cost" of the issue with the phone and the only option I was left with was to stay in my phone until the replacement came in despite repeated warnings that the phone was dangerous. Matt asserted the danger was only with phones in another country and I had nothing to worry about. I thought this was a ridiculous statement and if this was the case why were phones in the US being recalled if there was no legitimate danger. I was forced to keep the Samsung Note until the replacement came in despite the overt safety concerns. The replacement came in and a similar situation ensued. Both times Brian and his team gave dreadful customer service and the only focus was on letting me know what an awful experience the recall was for Brian as a store owner. I've been awaiting the 2nd replacement phone which has been on order for 4 weeks already. Today Samsung decided to shut my phone down without any advance notice, forcing me to be late for work to deal with the phone situation. Once again, the experience at Lincroft Verizon Wireless Zone was dreadful. Brian was disrespectful and aggressive in our phone conversation asserting that I did not return the phone as requested. This was completely dishonest as I made numerous attempts to return the phone and get a different phone until the replacement came in. After trying to bully me into giving a $50 deposit for a loaner Brian finally agreed to give a loaner until my phone comes in. The phone I was given is dreadful and not fully functioning. It charges poorly when it charges at all and doesn't work properly. I currently have no working phone because of the awful experience at Lincroft Verizon Wireless Zone. I find Brian to be narcissistic and lacking in integrity. I was told by Samsung I had to go through the local dealer to rectify this. After this is rectfied I will never give this man my business again. Also he sent my phone that I turned in back without allowing me to see the phone was wiped. This is upsetting because I was just the victim of identity theft.

POSTED: Wednesday, March 08, 2017

This is a rebuttal to the negative report written by a customer who had a difficult time with the Samsung Note 7 recall in late 2016. It is unfortunate that she feels that we as the local retailer couldn't do more for her as this was a Samsung issue that was unprecedented in the cellular industry. We offered the customer all of the options that were available to us at the time of the recall. She obviously felt we should have done more for her, which I wish we could have.

I apologize for not satisfying her needs at the time, but we were bound by the terms of the recall which didn't allow us to do what she wanted. We did offer her a loaner phone to use so she didn't have to conintue using the potentially dangerous Note 7 device, which she eventually used until her recalled device could get replaced.

Wireless Zone of Lincroft is a small business and as the owner, my reputation is everything. Unfortunately, there was nothing more I could have done for her than what we explained at the time of the issue. 

We dealt with many other Note 7 customers in her exact situation and we were able to explain the recall process to them and handled their replacement with no issue. All other customers were not happy with the recall but were very satisfied with our handling of their situation.

Hopefully, we never have to deal with another recall like this one as it was a major inconvenience for everyone involved, most importantly the customer.
