Verizon has failed me and I will no longer be a customer.

I wanted to order a prepaid phone. So I did.
I couldn't place an order with a separate shipping address than billing address. This is bad for me, because my credit card is linked to my home address, buty I live at university right now.
I chatted online with the online orders customer service. They told me to place the order anyway and call in to customer service to have it changed.
My order was shipped 3/12.
The number to customer service was not for the right department and I had to be transferred multiple times. Online orders was happy to put in a request to change my shipping address. They give me a number to call back if I have any problems.
I wait two weeks. Nothing comes in the mail. I check the tracking number, and it says it got to a town 1.5 hours from me, then was returned to sender on 3/14. That return arrived back at Verizon on 3/17.
I call the customer service number I was given last time. It is a robot for bill paying, not the department I'm looking for. I found a general number for "Verizon customer service" and go through multiple transfers to actually get to a department that can help me. (Actually, they were the only ones who could even SEE my order details.)
They tell me that first time customers cannot have a separate shipping address than billing address, so Verizon told fedex to stop sending my package and return it. Even though two weeks ago, customer service happily put in a request to change my shipping address.
Today is 3/26.
In the meantime (the ten days between 3/14 and 3/26), I was not told that my order was being cancelled. I was not refunded. I had to call to get any information other than the obvious, that my package was not in my mailbox.
Verizon has utterly failed me. I'm reording this phone, but after the required month of prepaid service I will no longer be a Verizon customer for as long as I can avoid it. The customer service system is broken, the ordering system is bad, and customer service representitives are forced to be annoyingly "friendly". (A note on that: when they ask for my name, I can't tell if it's to greet me with a first name or to get information for my order/problem/question. It makes the conversation terrible because I don't know whether I should spell my hard-to-spell last name or even say it in the first place! Very frustrating. And the forced small talk just wastes my time. The constant transfers and representitives' inability to see details of my order unless they're in the right department is also a massive waste of my time.)

I'm reording this phone, but after the required month of prepaid service I will no longer be a Verizon customer for as long as I can avoid it.
Yes I did. Here it is.
Also, stop being annoying. Thanks.

  • What's the proper protocol for a reset on my ipod touch 4g?  iOS 6 has totally jacked it up and it will no longer do anything but crash, and won't sync with itunes wirelessly or by cable.

    What's the proper protocol for a reset on my ipod touch 4g?  iOS 6 has totally jacked it up and it will no longer do anything but crash, and won't sync with itunes wirelessly or by cable.
    It's a 64G ipod touch and was fine till Apple told me to upgrade to ios 6.  Now most of my apps crash, my music won't play and I just get a white screen when I hit Music.
    When I try to sync to itunes it acts like it's going to sync and appears to recognize the ipod, but it's grayed out and has an update circle by it that spins for a while until itunes eventually freezes alltogether.  Is there a  way to go back to ios 5 after a erase and reset?

  • After a power failure while iPhoto was running, I get the message "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable"  and iPhoto will not open????

    After a power failure while iPhoto was running, I get the message "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable"  and iPhoto will not open???? held down the option and the command and tried to run what was ticked off and it just sits there with a spinning wheel and does nothing, can I throw the app away and download a new one? or will it still not open?

    , can I throw the app away and download a new one? or will it still not open?
    You could, but the error message is indicating that your iPhoto library needs repairing.
    Check, if iPhoto will run, if you launch it on a new library. Hold down the alt/option key, while you launch iPhoto. Select to create a new library from the panel that will show. Can you create a new library? If yes, try again to fix the library. Which options have you tried from the Library First Aid panel, when you launched iPhoto with the option and command key held down?
    If you have not tried "Rebuild"; do that next. But be sure to make a backup of your iPhoto library, before you try this.

    Well first you locate your Caps Lock key. It is located above shift, and below tab. Now you press it, and take a deep breath. If your iPod is outside of its service, have you looked into other options like local repair shops? Sometimes they still service older products.

  • HT201317 MY ICLOUD STOPPED WORKING ON MY LAPTOP. MESSAGE SAYS IT HAS STOPPED WORKING AND MICROSOFT WILL TRY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

    icloud has worked perfectly. now a message comes up saying" it has stopped working and microsoft will attempt to fix the problem". I have signed out and signed back in. restarted the computer. no luck. Any ideas?

    First thing I would try would be to remove the battery from your MacBook, connect the computer to it's power adapter and start up, then see if the keyboard and trackpad work normally. Some older batteries have been known to expand and interfere with keyboard and trackpad. If this works, replace the battery.
    Best of luck.

  • Update has failed (5times) and Targa files won't open

    AS title suggests, the cloud updater has tried to install photoshop updates about 5 times now and consistently fails. And I can no longer edit Targa files.

    Trevor,
    @PECourtejoie is apt in his observations. Resolution for one may not work for other.
    So rather than confusing all other users to try it, Its better to resolve them case by case.

  • Games I bought years ago, Texas Holdem and iQuiz will no longer transfer to my iPod Classic. They show in my computer "Apps" but they won't transfer. They no longer show that they can be "Re-Downloaded" from "Previously Purchased" they don't exist there.

  • I interrupted the upgrading of muse and it will no longer open up. It's there but not complete.

    I hadn't used Muse in a while and opened Abobe Muse, it informed me that it need to be updated along with Adobe Air.  Somehow I interrupted the upgrade and it will no longer open as a program. I am not sure if I should uninstall the program and reinstall it?

    AFAIK you are on the wrong mailing list.

  • I have two 2nd generation iPods and iTunes will no longer let me delete songs (Delete in gray)?

    I have two 2nd generation iPods and iTunes will no longer let me delete music from either one. If I select a song, "Delete" is gray in the menu and cannot be selected. What's happened? New iTunes not compatible?

    In order to manually remove music from the iPod via iTunes, you need to have the Manually manage music and videos option checked from under each iPod's Summary tab.
    See this article for more details.

  • I dropped my 2009 MacBook Pro and it will no longer work; I need to re-install the OS software to hopefully restore it: what disk(s) do I use?

    I dropped my 2009 MacBook Pro and it will no longer work; I need to re-install the OS software to hopefully restore it: what OS disk(s) do I use?  This may sound like a stupid question but I'm seeking to buy something inexpensive and need to know if a higher version (other than what was initially installed) will work.

    Bekah1996,
    since you didn’t receive its original grey installation DVDs when you purchased it, you’ll need to contact Apple directly to purchase a replacement pair. (The grey installation discs aren’t available in the Apple stores.) Some Mid 2009 models originally came with 10.5.7 (Leopard), and some originally came with 10.6.0 or 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard). If yours had 10.5.7 installed, then you’ll probably receive a 10.5.7 set of grey discs from Apple. If you’d like to upgrade its OS to anything newer, then you’d also need to purchase the white retail Snow Leopard DVD — but you should wait to see what Apple sends you, since if they send you a 10.6.0 or 10.6.2 set, you wouldn’t need to purchase the white Snow Leopard disc.

  • When I turned off Find my iPhone, Apple sent me an email saying: I got an email from Apple saying: your Apple ID and password will no longer be required for someone to erase, reactivate, and use your iPhone. I don't understand!

    I just turned off Find my iPhone after hearing about the hacking in Australia.  I got an email from Apple saying:  your Apple ID and password will no longer be required for someone to erase, reactivate, and use your iPhone.  Does this mean that anyone can have access to my iPhone?  I still have to put my passcode in.

    What that means is the activation lock does not operate if you did what you said you did. Bottom line, turn it back on. That will then require anyone trying to use the device to have yoru Apple ID and password.

  • I have an ipod touch  and it will not longer charge on the dock it only plays music

    I was uploading music to my ipod touch 4th generation (I only use this ipod to stay docked all the time to my speackers)
    Since I updated my ipod touch to ios 6.1.6 it does not charge it only plays music but it does not charge why is this happening I think is a bug that has the ios 6.1.6 I dont have old speackers I brought them in 2012 they are the sony RDP-XF100ip, it allways worked fin and scince I updated it it does not work.
    I also have an old ipod nano and I thought that the dock burned but it did charged the ipod nano
    Thanks.

    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    Sometmes this works
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                 
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    Otherwise go to the dock manufacture's support site. Sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility and you will have to wait for either an iOS update (very unlikely) or an update to the firmware on the dock
