If I could give zero stars, I would. Worst consumer service I have ever received.
I had the worst experience with two separate customer service workers today when attempting to pick up my phone. I was trading in an old iphone for a new one as I ran out of storage on my old phone. When I arrived at the store and asked how to safely transfer all of my information to the new phone they were unable to help me. I was informed that they were not allowed to let me transfer my information to the phone I ALREADY PAID FOR IN FULL, until my old phone was completely wiped clean. I shared my fears with this and went back and forth to no avail so i left the store to find a solution. I was able to purchase extra icloud storage and complete a backup, when i went back into the store i asked if i could double check everything especially my photos and i was again told no and my phone was completely reset. I would like to exaggerate that the new phone i paid for in full was sitting in front of me, and i was unable to do a full and safe transfer solely because of their policy. I was eventually handed my new phone, as my old device was completely reset i was unable to transfer between the devices and had to go into a t-mobile store to get further help. When my phone finally started the backup i opened my photos app and my heart shattered. Because of their lack of patience, because of their policy, because of their unwillingness to help me with this difficult process i lost over 4,000 photos. I lost photos from two of the most important concerts i have been to in my life, I lost first trip abroad with my sister, i lost the celebration of my 20th birthday i lost over 4,000 special and sacred moments because of this company. I will never trade in a phone with best buy again, i will never get those moments back, i will never forgive the way i was treated today. If i was able to leave 0 stars i would.
