Five Star Cellular

First let me clear up that when you go into any place with like 3 employees there is going to be a wait. There are couches that you can sit on and I’m sure when they are done with a customer they will get right to you. Today we came into the store and luckily we were helped right away because it was not busy. The employee, Julio was very kind and helpful and although im sure we caused him grief by having to transfer over 14,000 text messages and hundreds of pictures with the activation of a new phone he helped us with a smile and great conversation the whole time. I would definitely recommend this store to other people and I compared to other sprint retailers that I’ve been to I am very happy.

5 Star Cellular shouldn’t even get one star. We were in Orlando on vacation when my phone failed to charge and stopped working. I went SPECIFICALLY to this location because I was able to make an online appointment, so I figured cool I would be in and out with no waiting. That was not the case. I showed up and waited and waited. At least 10 minutes before I was even acknowledged, then another 10 before being helped.
Finally Lina helped me, and she seemed nice, but stressed from helping me and another person at the same time, while her co worked schmoozed a senior citizen trying to talk her into upgrading to an Iphone. She agreed that my phone was not charging, and filed a claim for a replacement through the insurance company. This all happened before noon on Saturday. She told me the phone would be there tuesday, maybe wednesday. (The phone is supposed to be overnighted)
I called Tuesday, as I was instructed to, and was told the phone was not there, and to try back the next day. I called again on Wednesday, and was told the phone would not be there until after 3 pm on Thursday. My flight was leaving at 2 on Thursday. They knew this when i filed the claim on Saturday and assured me it would be available before I left. I could have filed the claim online myself and had the phone waiting for me when I got home, but instead I trusted them, and they did not follow through on their promise.
I am not stuck waiting even LONGER now that I am home for my phone to ship. Thanks for nothing 5 Star cellular. You wasted my time, and hopefully this will serve as a warning and keep you from doing the same to someone else.
