As a consumer I know conflicting information can be discouraging and apologize for your unpleasant store visit, let's look into this.  Your feedback is appreciated and will be forwarded for review.  Have we had a chance order your replacement device? Which store location did you visit? Additionally I will be sending you a Private Message monetarily.

I did get a replacement ordered. There was no exchange to be made. I visited 14949 Florence Trl, Suite 300

Help is here For you B33! We would want you to have a working phone and the support you need. I apologize for the boot loader experience you shared. Let's get this resolved. We offer a 14 day return on all purchases. This is the only time we provide a new device order. After that if a warranty issues occurs, we replace the device for defects or hardware failures. If there is physical or liquid damage, we process an insurance claim. Please share more details with us that tell us the type of exchange was being performed. Bobby_VZW

That was a useless addition to this discussion. No help offered, just the same annoying canned answer!

W_BC, extra costs are not something anyone appreciates. When a device is returned for a defect within the first 14 days, as another brand new device is used to replace the phone, you will see a charge for the taxes. Once the original device is received, you would receive a credit back in the original form of payment.

Once again, another Verizon canned answer. This item should have been exchanged. I should not have been sold an additional phone and then have to wait for a refund!

We definitely want to be part of the solution. To help get to the bottom of this, we would need to access the account. Were you able to review your inbox for our direct message?
