Not open during listed business hours. Verizon isn't even trying to be a good provider anymore.

Do local managers have access to their Verizon Store's Yelp? If so could you please update your covid policies, write must make an appointment (maybe with a link). They might now have access, which means corporate needs to follow all local store covid policies and update them which is a mountain so if that's the case... cool As a customer I called the phone number, put on hold, disconnected, realized it would be shorter to drive there and get turned away than deal with Verizon's automated phone service which we all know sucks. They tell me it's appointment only, they are short staffed- understandable. Make appointment. BUT They said I could do it all on the Verizon app, I've been sitting out front for 30 min trying to buy a phones No help from the "live help feature" stop having "no, all set" as my only rebuttal - it's normally no I need more help. I can only save the cart, since I'm not the account manager, they will send an email for them to approve. The email was never sent, account manager logs onto their account to look for it, it says they must CALL VERIZON. 15 min hold, they told account manager they needed the store to verify the application number before I could pick up phone -- that I had to come in person to get that done. So I walked back in to the store... And all of this is totally expected. I don't have any complaints for this particular store, or the people, but I hate that this is the standard of Verizon's customer service. I'm going to get an auto generated reply to this complaint from Verizon apologizing and reassuring that they care about their customers but we all know that's not true. But nothing matters because there are only so many cell phone services out there and we all have to put up with this kind of crap in order to have a phone. So here's another scream into the void. read more

I had my Galaxy S10 stolen and was having a very terrible day of trying to track it down to no avail. After having to visit 3 other Verizon stores to find a Galaxy Note 10, I stopped in at Sherman Oaks. Their sales rep Dana made my new phone process easy and it was a pleasure to talk to someone so engaging. It's nice to know there are still people out there with well....people skills. Thank you for the good service. read more

This is for Dana , a very helpful rep! I had a horrible experience with corporate , with many hours on the phone and complete incompetence on their part. She did her very best to assist me in straightening out their mess- and couldn't even help other people since we were on the phone with Verizon ( yes , even a Verizon employee is getting runaround) for almost 2 hours! Very friendly . read more

My experience with Verizon in-store staff has not been great with a few exceptions. I have been with Verizon for years. Today my daughter and I went into Verizon and were assisted by B. Bobby Fadavi. He was excellent. He was very knowledgeable, funny, and buying a phone went very smoothly. We recommend him highly. read more

Aja just gave me the best customer service of my life! (And I've seen some exceptional customer service!) He was super helpful, made sure we were smiling throughout the whole process of adding a new phone to an account, and did so without selling us on the specials for other devices/accessories. He and Adam, the manager, even hooked it up with a discount on an already discounted tablet for us. Super chill guys who are knowledgable and dependable. I'm sure the rest of the team is just as great. (Oh I should also mention we came in 20 mins before closing the DAY THE IPHONE 6 CAME OUT, and everyone had been working since 6 am.) read more

We've been to the Verizon Wireless store here when upgrading our phones. This time we had purchased a refurbished phone online and our line was locked when we put in the SIM card because the refurbished one was on the fraud list (previous owner hadn't fully paid for it). George the Solutions Specialist at the store was super helpful, patient and friendly, and spent time on the phone with Verizon techs to get it all sorted out and our line back up. We've had good experiences with the crew here. And thankfully haven't needed help very often. read more

I came into Verizon in a bit of a time crunch as I could only find a 15 min parking meter. Everyone was really kind. They confirmed that I could accomplish what I needed to do that night with the resources I had available. I briefly interacted with Jeff, Robert and one other gentleman (possibly the manager) but the bulk of my interaction was with Omar. He answered all my questions regarding the changes I wanted to make, my options for phones and if there were any savings ( or savings lite ;) through my employer. Initially, there were some issues with inputting my info and Omar went from computer to computer and ultimately he utilized the corporate assistance to finish the task. Omar was kind enough to help me pull up the proper employer information so wouldn't have to return another time to take care of it, saving me some time. It was also nice to crack some jokes with Omar and Robert as it had been a long day of errands. Thanks again for all your help! Bottom line: Store- it's a store; it's fine; it was clean; items were in stock and there is parking behind the building. Staff- very kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. Omar- he's the man! Thanks Omar! read more

I have been putting this review off for a bit. As I further thought about it, it just does not sit well with me. In today's world, there is no more room for prejudice and hate. I went into this store to look at options for getting a new iPad, but I never expected that the management staff was doing more shopping than the customers. I overheard talk about how another customer was so hot, but it was a shame that he was gay. The objectification is offensive enough, but the hate speech is the disappointing icing on the cake. I wanted to make management aware, but I learned that the manager on duty was the one making these comments. My hope is that Verizon sees this and takes corrective measures so that nothing worse happens in "America's most reliable network." America also relies on corporations to be unbiased. Pleased to be taking my business elsewhere. read more

It is a rare employee, especially in today's world of impersonal megacorporations, who can singlehandedly make the difference. Overcome bureaucracy, corporate inertia/indifference, numbingly-complex IT systems and rate plans, and all the rest ... through sheer force of knowledge, experience, will, and commitment to help. My wife and I met such an employee at Verizon this weekend. Over three days, a series of web and network outages paralyzed our attempts to make a fairly complex rebated port from AT&T. A lesser Verizon expert than Dana would have resigned herself to defeat early in the game. A less heartful and committed interpersonal force would have lost us to disgust long before the finish line. Instead, though, she persevered. Utilizing different avenues for reaching people in Verizon accounting and tech support. Working with them to identify alternate enrollment routes. And, giving us the encouragement which kept us from abandoning our provider change and swearing off of Verizon for life. Enormously kind. Enormously effective. Enormously diligent. Enormously caring. Saved what will likely be a four-unlimited-lines-for-decades customer relationship. Our jury is still out on Verizon and its back office systems. However, we're huge believers in Dana ... and the other upbeat and determined staffers we observed in action during our Verizon weekend. Kudos ... and thank you! read more

I had the worst experience with this Verizon store starting with the sales associate ending with the store manager. They sign you up for stuff you told them you did not want and at the end you get a big surprise on your bill and there is no way to cancel out the charges. The employees at this location will go out of their way to lie to their customers and get them to sign up for anything to make their commission. Worst experience ever! Do not go to their location you will be lied to! I would really like the upper management of the company to monitor how their little branches are working if they do not want to keep losing customers. read more

My son's phone was stolen. We were so frustrated speaking with claims over the phone. Michael was so helpful walking us through the process. He went over and above!! Have an issue, ask for Michael!! read more

This store is awesome! They are helpful and expedient. It feels like they are tripping over themselves to be courteous and provide what's needed. They are all great and Michael is fantastic! read more

Went in yesterday knowing which phone I wanted to upgrade to and left with that phone, a case, screen protector and tablet! Great experience with Tim and Bobby! Bobby played around with my plan and worked out the best deal for me and found all discounts available. Everyone in the store was friendly and attentive. Just make sure to park in the back! Parking tickets are no joke over there haha. read more

The team at this location is great! The wait time is the only issue as I have to wait at least 20-30 minutes before being helped by a representative. They're very quick though, once you talk to them and very knowledgable about their products and services. read more

See all

James P. activated my new iPhone for me and there were no hiccups. Actually, there could have been one hiccup in porting my phone number to Verizon but James navigated through the issue with ease. James is knowledgeable and didn't try to upsell me on anything. He just laid out the facts on cost and, after I had gone to the AT&T and Sprint stores to check their rates, I came back to Verizon. James sold me because he didn't hard-sell me (and also because I researched carriers and determined Verizon was the best deal for me). He also recommended that I call him the next day if I had any questions about service, etc. read more

I was due for a new phone and have had such great experiences with this store that I decided to go back. When I arrived, the store was very busy and I was asked to wait for a while. The wait was worth it! TJ Baxter became available and greeted me. He immediately began asking me questions regarding what I like about my current phone and what I was interested in upgrading to. His product knowledge was AWESOME! It was very obvious that he did not JUST want to sell me a phone, but make sure I made the right choice. His style was also very calm, friendly, and engaging. After purchasing my phone, I had to visit the store once more to transfer my contacts over (TJ had asked to do this for me the first time I was in, but I kindly denied as I had somewhere to be). This time, TJ was with a guest and to Jonathan (service) immediately assisted me. Once TJ became available, he approached me and followed up with me regarding my new phone. As we were having our conversation, Jonathan approached me with a big smile on his face along with my new phone with all of my contacts synced. These guys are super friendly and very willing to assist clients; they are not in it for just the money, but to serve their guests with the best of customer service. I also am in sales and appreciate the way TJ and Jonathan treat their clients. Thank you TJ Baxter for making this a GREAT cell-phone-purchasing experience. See you soon! read more

Michael was very attentive to my needs concerning my purchase of a new screen cover. He even registered for me which was so helpful. Highly recommend his help when coming to this location. Happy satisfied customer right here. read more

If I could give 0 stars, I would. What horrendous customer service. I was promised $50 for turning in my old phone when I went in to upgrade to a new one. The salesman assured me I could use this money towards the price of my new phone. After I went through the transaction to get the new phone, I was suddenly told the $50 is actually a gift card that can only be used for in store purchases or towards my bill - not to the price of the new phone. How is it legal to promise something and then after the fact state "well actually you can't use the money towards the new phone." I asked for a receipt for the "gift card" and received a piece of paper with NO numbers on it or way to redeem. I'm filing a complain with the BBB. On top of this, I wanted to purchase the phone in full and had to argue for an HOUR with the salesman - he wanted me to put the phone on a "lease" and said there would be no change to the bill whatsoever - that I would only pay for the tax of the phone. That logic makes NO sense. How can you 'lease' something and make no payments on it? What a scam. read more

Horrible service!!! Rudy, THE manager is clueless about his job! as well as salesperson Ania!

I was very satisfied with my experience at the Verizon corporate store on Ventura Blvd., Sherman Oaks, CA. The staff was helpful, friendly, informative and looked for the best deal for me as well. Very satisfied. A great experience. Marvin and Josue. Thank you. read more

When I came in today I had an issue. I came in talked to stephanie and steve. They both identified my issue/ problem I have been having. I was getting the run around from the company for an alternate upgrade. They together figured out a solution for me and the problem. Steve then took care of all the issues from there. Great customer service very polite and got it done asap. Steve showed me some accessories for the phone but due to the lack of selection from verizon wireless I couldnt find a good case for my mom. Thanks again steve and stepanie for quality customer service. read more

Just walking out of the store with my updated/fixed droid and my daughters new iphone.... $200 in total for new iPhone5c, phone cover, screen protectors, extra wall charger and a card adapter, tax included ...not bad! And here's the best part.... I went to the store today to cancel my daughters line. But thanks to SUPER HELPFUL Verizon employee **Jacob** we not only stayed but added a line!!! I've been a Verizon customer for 10 plus years, but I've had a horrible time this past year after ordering my daughter a free Nokia lumina from Verizon about 9 months ago ...terrible phone! Don't get a windows phone, ever, if you want to interact with the general population!!!! After countless hours in the store and on the phone with tech support , customer service, waiting for replacement phone, etc, I was ready to just give up and pay the termination fee and get her a phone through another company. I was pissed that after 10 years of loyalty , and $400 monthly in family plans, no one at Verizon could seem to help me get this lemon of a phone of my hands....until **Jacob***. He worked his Verizon employee magic and got us all set up with a great outcome....He took his time to make sure we were all set up, answered all of our questions...not to mention there was ZERO wait time mid sat afternoon! Don't usually do Yelp reviews, but I hope Jacob gets some kudos for this one! Couldn't be happier with our experience today! read more

Verizon - Happy teen w new iPhone! - Mobile Phones Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

I meant to post this quick note of thanks last weekend, but never got around to it. Huge thanks to service representative Robert Visser for being professional, attentive, and honest. The details are unimportant, but I had an ongoing issue with trying to get my iPhone upgraded, and Robert went out of his way to make sure that I got the best deal (from the best advice) available. Thanks, Robert. You're the best! And sorry for taking so long to get this review posted. read more

Fire Nate! Hes a liar ! Sorry for verizon to have such a employee. 8 lines! And no thanks verizon ! We are gone only because Nate messed up! We checked with him couple of times ! He lied about rates and fees ! That easy! Coming back to the store and he says who what where. For commission? Poor kid. read more

I like to first start off by saying I'm a loyal Verizon customer for many years. Best carrier and best customer service. This location is my local Verizon store where I always go and purchase my families iPhones, cases , etc. Today I went in to buy my iPhone. Since my family and I are under a business account I forgot I wasn't authorized to buy a phone without one of them being with me. Long story short, I walk in at 7pm (hour before the store closes) and they told me that I'll get called at 7:50ish. While I'm waiting I notice the manager (John) standing by the computer the whole time not helping any customers. There's only 1 sales individual helping people purchase items. I decide to ask the manager if he can help me purchase my iPhone quickly since I've been waiting so long and it was about to be 8pm. He gives me a major attitude real quick stating that there's only one person that handles sales. Him as manager doesn't do sales. He mentioned that he couldn't sell anything. What kind of manager can't help with sales when you see you're understaffed with many people waiting. He also mentioned that his workers need to get commission and that he can't help me purchase my iPhone on his workers behalf. Mind you I'm not even interested in trading my old phone in. I was interested in buying and leaving within 10 minutes. At this point I'm getting frustrated that it's almost 8 and he's still standing doing nothing. I go and ask him if there's anything he can do for me since I knew exactly what I was buying. He gives me a HUGE attitude and couldn't help me. I get that employees need to work hard for their commission to make money, but that's not a way to talk to a customer, especially as a manager. It's already 8, the store closed and I'm waiting for the sales rep to finish his other sale to come help me. Nate, the very nice sales rep finishes with his other customer and comes by to help me. I tell him what iPhone I want, he goes and gets the one. I made a quick payment and finished at exactly 8:15. Nate you were great, thank you very much! As for the rude manager John I have no other words. I don't even know why you're manager. I will go to another location from now on. Go learn how to treat customers, or go take a class on that. Theres a bunch. read more

Worst customer service. Don't waste your time. Tried returning a Verizon item and Mark the manager said it wasnt returnable. Bad attitude. A nice attitude is all it takes in customer service... I probably wouldn't have been so annoyed if he wasn't pompous. Then they sarcastically said have a nice day in a condescending way. read more

Tim helped me out and he was so patient, knowledgeable, and kind! The screen on my phone was broken and he helped me contact the insurance and make a claim to get it fixed. Thanks, Tim! The manager was also very nice and offered everyone water bottles because it was so hot outside. read more

Verizon is awful! But Marvin & John @ Ventura Verizon are not! Thank these guys for great customer service and there commitment to fixing my phone issues! read more

I had just about given up on Verizon, horrible customer service on the phone, and even worse in the stores. I went to 2 different other Verizon stores near by in Burbank and a retailer in NoHo, both were zoos, and the staff wasnt even friendly they all seemed overworked and stressed out. I felt bad for them. My last attempt was here and Im so happy I came. Robert helped me out and made sure I felt valued as a customer, and had such a great helpful attitude. He went above and beyond to make sure I left happy! He is the best employee Verizon has and he saved my business and totally helped me out so much!!!!! Thank you!!! This is the only Verizon I will ever go to in the future!! :) read more

I used to feel uncomfortable asking questions on computer, iPhone and iPad cuz I from different generation but MYRISHKA really change that! I learn so much from her coming in and work one on one with her 3 times, now I feel confident with all my device. I now make time to come back once a week when I can to learn more from her. Highly recommended! read more

Michael M. Here at this location was so incredible not only did he work after closing hours to complete my purchase he was so kind and knowledgeable on the products. I am so thankful for his amazing customer service and his thorough process for my new phones. Thank you thank you and I will be back to work again with him soon. Mattie read more

VERIZON --- $$$$$$$$$ NOT SERVICE!!!!! Verizon only cares about making money! NOT about serving their customer's needs!! Today ALL VERIZON STORES are busy selling their new $1000 iPhones, and $750 iPhones.... making customers with problems stand outside and wait 20-30 minutes for service...... while they wait on customers BUYING the new phones!! IF the F*CKING iPHONES didn't cost a fortune ------- they wouldn't need security guards and to make people stand outside waiting to get their phones and problems serviced!! And people are STUPID enough to buy them!! THANKS "APPLE"!!! THANKS VERIZON!!! read more

I went in their store to simply ask an associate to get Verizon to stop sending me emails because I switched services months ago. Associate was short with me and was not able to do what I simply asked. I am still receiving emails and this has been going on for months after I called Verizon's customer service and multiple reply's to their hundreds emails. Terrible branch and terrible company. It's just a shame and I am still frustrated. read more

WORST customer service & store ever! I have been a 9 year Verizon customer & it's enough to make me want to switch to a new cellular service. The representatives were not HELPFUL. They were argumentative and didn't provide any help in setting up my new iPhone I purchased after ruining my old phone. They were only interested in getting paid and doing the LEAST amount of work possible. Most notably Timothy & his team were horrible. read more

I made an apt and didn't have to wait in line. I was helped by Tim. He was super fast, got us a promotion and made it painless. He was very knowledgeable. I would recommend asking for Tim! read more

I lost my iPhone and had to buy a new one at the Apple Store. Apple could not activate it on my existing Verizon prepaid plan, even though they tried for an hour. I went to the Verizon store on Laurel Canyon, and the lazy lumpen who worked there was rude and incompetent. He couldn't activate it either. He suggested I "call Verizon" to fix it. He IS Verizon.. WTF? So I went to this location where I told my sad tale to someone named Jonathan, who said "One minute," then went away. He came back shortly with my phone up and running! I hereby proclaim Jonathan at the Sherman Oaks Verizon store to be King of Verizon! Thank you, Jonathan!! read more

We walked and nobody greeted us and they said it will be a few minutes after taking our name. I had to keep asking if anybody can help me. There's such a difference between the Verizon in the valley and in the city they cater to you in the city. read more

Upgraded my iphone to iphone 11 a few days ago and took it home to activate. Ran into a problem transferring photos so went back to the store today for help. Explained the issue to a female employee. Didn't look at my phone. Didn't touch my phone. "You have a problem with your icloud. You need to go to the Apple Store in the mall." End of discussion. Happened to be in Best Buy a few hours later and decided to stop by their mobile phone dept. AT&T rep saw the problem within 30 seconds and solved my problem within 3 minutes. Unbelievable! This is the second time I've gotten the brush off from Verizon and I've come to understand their business model. Sell the phone but once it's out of the store it no longer has anything to do with us. Hard to continue supporting a company with NO customer service. Will no longer buy products from Verizon. I'm done. read more

I needed an international plan added to my account so I stopped in and the process was so easy! The rep had a tablet and did it all from the iPad. I was in and out in about 15 minutes. Kind of regret putting all that money in the meter! The store is very clean and new looking. Had a great experience here and that's why I love Verizon! read more
