The inside on a Sunday

Sigh... dropping off equipment should be just that a "drop off" not a 1-2 hour wait with only 5 people in front of you. Most I can speculate are dropping off equipment as well (I can only guess by the amount of tech sitting in their laps). There are only 3 employees here I've been here 30 minutes and only seen one person leave. A couple people have already told me they've been here an hour. Not only are the waits extremely long. There's no fair warning and no charging stations anywhere or outlets in the "waiting section". If I'm going to be here an hour or more I would love to be notified before beginning my wait and I would love to be able to play games/FT while waiting. But for fear of killing my battery I won't. It's funny I remembered to check in because I was sitting here bored for so long only to be reassured that the terrible wait is normal by this location. Also I had to drive past 3 other Verizon stores to drop off here. I have to be at work shortly so I probably won't be able to drop off my equipment today

Wasted over two hours just to return equipment.  Horrendous wait time.  This could've been a video and STILL would look the same.

[The following took place back on August 8, 2019. It started at 9:30 AM shortly after the store opened, and unceremoniously concluded just after 12:15 PM.] I recently cancelled my Verizon FIOS service and needed to return the box top set. This location was the closest, so I went there. Unfortunately, what should have been a cut-and-dried process became a test of patience and endurance! When you arrive at the store, there's a tablet for check-in, so the employees will take of the customers in the order they arrive -- even for a simple thing like equipment return. Then you sit and wait it out until your name is called. There were five people ahead of me, so I'm thinking I'd be in-and-out within a half-hour. It ended up being over a TWO HOUR wait. I, along with others that were waiting were there for the same reason: returning equipment. But all of the (four) employees were busy with their respective customers. As far as I could ascertain, the ones that were being taken of needed both technical support and setting up new wireless accounts. Two of the customers were elderly men upgrading from flip-phones. And that was, in part, the biggest hold up -- the employees had to guide them through *everything* step-by-step (plus the tablets they were purchasing!); never mind all the paperwork that followed! Another woman was setting up a family plan with multiple phones (five!). I really don't understand how setting up an account requires so much red tape. During my wait, the customer count built up to a dozen or so. While that might not seem a lot, the molasses pace the employees were handling the customers, it might as well have been a hundred. It got bad enough that several of the customers got frustrated and walked out; one was rather angry and verbal for the unacceptable wait time; he was there for a "quick" pick-up and was rightfully indignant to see how long of a wait there was with no progress. He shared our frustration, and became an unofficial spokesperson for us, if you will. It would've been nice if at least one employee or whoever was in charge let us know what was going on for the long wait. At least same *something* re-assuring to us! When it was finally my turn, I sat down and dully mentioned to the employee that I was returning equipment. She checked out my account information and equipment, and printed a receipt to confirm my return. That process only took TWO MINUTES to complete. That wasn't worth the wait -- and I lost a good part of the morning on a day off that I had planned to utilize elsewhere. The bottom line is this: Verizon needs a separate express line for those returning or picking up equipment. There is absolutely NO reason why we have to wait it out like this. It's very poor and ineffective time management. I'm should be glad that my wireless service isn't Verizon, otherwise I'd probably STILL be there.

Understaffed. You sit and wait while they sell phones. Need to return or pick up an order be prepared to sit.

I have been asking for a new phone. My daughter phone works and mine doesn't. I even went to the Columbia store and they couldn't help. I have spent countless hours trying to rectify the issue this month w various AT&T techs. They will not honor a return when the phone doesn't work. Instead they make excuses about their raggety towers or try to deflect and blame on your location: . I have taken it back to AT&T over and over again and still not working. I bought 3 phones that day and everyone's phone works except mine. AT&T says that since the other phones work and it passes their diagnostics to take it back to Apple because it is an Apple issue. I received a case number to get a new phone today, I went to the Columbia mall Apple Store in Columbia Md. The techs ran the same diagnostics and did the same troubleshooting and the phone worked for a short time. The phone worked for a quick moment and as soon as I walked out of the store it went to SOS again. I come home call online again, I was on the phone w a supervisor by the name Anjelica and she was not helpful at all with my concerns. She said that I had to pay $30 and they put a $1500 hold on my phone to exchange the phone and give me another. This is unfair because I have already paid taxes on a phone that I have not been able to utilize properly. THEN she hung up on me. Although, I got the phone from the AT&T store in Ellicott city. He would not take the phone back and when I asked for his help he asked what did I want him to do. The AT&T supervisors say take it to Apple, Apple says take it back to AT&T. No one wants to take ownership for the device not working and I have only had it for 3 weeks almost 4 weeks. Each evening I spend 3-4 hour talking to a tech to get the phone to work and it is not working. The Apple lady, Anjelica said that may I can ask friends or family to help me pay to get a replacement. WHAT??! Why would I need someone to help me pay for a replacement when I have already paid for something that doesn't work. I am also sending this in yelp as buyer be ware and contacting the Better Business Bureau.

I went to this particular AT&T store to trade in my old iPhone X with a new iPhone 13 Pro. After a…read morebrief discussion with Chris, the store manager, I made the purchase with a monthly charge of $13. This included the price of the new iPhone 13 Pro ($8 per month for 36 months) after trading in my old phone and a $5 per month additional charge (AT&T Next-Up). I was made aware by the store manager that this $5 AT&T Next-Up charge includes both device protection (insurance) and future upgrades and therefore, I approved this additional charge on my account. But when I got home and checked my AT&T account, there was an additional charge of $17 per month (besides the $13) added to my account which I never approved in the store. This was very unlikely as the store manager never mentioned this additional $17 charge to us (me and my friend). We also asked him about this thing a couple of times but he never mentioned it to us. Although I was able to remove the $17 charge later after talking to an agent, I am disappointed by the fact that the store manager approved the additional charge without my consent. TL;DR - The store manager added hidden charges to my AT&T account without my approval.

In terms of pricing, I know they also provide warranty for any services hey provide you. However the warranty does have a cost to it. My recommendation is to shop around for pricing.

When I was there, there was only 1 person working the front of the place. This person was very nice and informative. That person was in the middle of repairing a customers cracked phone. Not sure if this is a 1 person shop or has multiple staff. If you can quick service, this is the place to go. However, I think their prices are reasonable especially given the area. However, other places may provide cheaper rates. Got to search around.

I originally sent my MacBook Pro in because the screen wouldn't open. They fixed that part, but the moment I got my laptop back, a new problem started something it NEVER had before. My screen now looks completely messed up, with a giant pink vertical stripe, glitchy lines, and overheating issues. I've attached a photo so people can see what I'm dealing with. I already spent $370, and when I brought it back to them, they refused to take any responsibility. They kept insisting it wasn't their mistake, even though the issue only happened after their repair. Then they had the nerve to tell me I'd have to pay another $200 to fix this their "fix" created a whole new problem, and they're still denying it. To make things even worse, I kept calling them to get answers, and they were literally dodging my calls. They wouldn't answer, wouldn't call back, and acted like avoiding me would make the problem go away. This entire experience was dismissive, unprofessional, and honestly really disappointing. If you care about your device and your money, PLEASE avoid The Fix Columbia. I wish I had gone somewhere else now I'm stuck with a laptop that looks like this after trusting them.

The good parts; they have pretty much every configuration you could want on hand and you can try them out. The store is beautiful. Downsides: it's really busy, so you often have to wait. Once you're in, it's the same stressful confusing process, complete with periodic attempts at upsells. Why I won't go back: I was supposed to get an essentially free phone through Verizon. My sales associate didn't know to check against different plans, even after I mentioned the phone should be free, can he do that. He said yes. I only barely caught that the trade in was only half the value, and even then he was insistent that it was the normal value. It took two people and me logging into Verizon to prove the point and even then I got push back until, to no surprise to me, it went through. They did apologize, but that was still hundreds of dollars they almost cost me. Also, after all was said and done, they could have given me the 500 gig phone, but did the 256, which I didn't catch on to until after the process was done. We didn't need the 500gig, but it sucks to get cheated out of it because of incompetence/ignorance/inexperience when you're literally going there for the expertise. As far as help with the transfer process it was okay. They got you started but it's not any faster than doing it home or on your own.

At the Columbia Mall location it's always crowded and you have to sign in and an associate will call you when it's your turn. The associates were all pleasant and each very knowledgeable about their specific product expertise that they could assist you with. They have samples of most of the items on display that you can try out to find the product that is right for you. I was impressed that they had a workshop going on in store on how to use an electronic pen for iPads and it was free. You can also preorder products that were not available in store for pickup. I have to admit Apple products are NOT cheap, but as far as value, they seem to hold up well and you can purchase additional warranties to ensure you have coverage if anything goes wrong. All in all, a great product store to come explore, to purchase, or come in to troubleshoot any product issues you may have.
