I just did a local route of 8 purchase and return cell phones for $50 a pop with a very easy form. I did one of them last round and it was so easy, I snatched up all of them within a 12 mile range of me.
The MS company is very easy to work with and will answer the phone. I got all 10's from them.
OTOH, the cell shops are all like independent used car salesmen. Each one has a different way to pad the bill.
Since I cleaned out all the shops in my area, I can now say that I highly recommend this shop. I was so peeved at the shady sales tactics that it was very easy to write a report and vent on how each shop found a way to inflate the bill. I won't go into any shop details, but out of the nine I have done, only ONE was honoring the corporate promotion without some form of padding happening, and it still had the now open banner on the side of the building. They have not yet trained the salespeople how to sell properly yet, so they are not yet doing shady things to pad the bill yet.
I'm sending my mom there to buy a phone and I'm not doing my return at that shop and actually keeping the phone. If they do try to take advantage of her, I will be nearby and enter and make sure she gets the proper promotional rate on the phone and the proper plan fee and not be forced into buying extras.
Only ONE out of nine were not dishonest in one way or another. This was a very needed MS that MetroPCS did to the independent shops.
