After trying to switch back to Verizon - I was previously a customer for ten years, I have been treated like a criminal and my order has been refused. I ordered a note5 64G online because they don't have any in the store, but since I wanted it shipped to my business instead of my billing P.O. Box, they lost it. Even though they provide the two different address options, they said I couldn't do that, and how would I know? So after answering 9 verification questions correctly, which I know they are just looking at my credit report, they finally started asking me my relatives birthdays. This is excessive for a cell phone. I have never been subject to this, and it is unacceptable. They then said that I would have to send in a copy of my drivers license, social security card, and a utility bill. I live in a corporate apartment where I don't have to pay for anything, and I keep my social security card hundreds of miles away in a safe place. So this is impossible. All I was trying to do is switch to Verizon, and this is how I get treated? I am who I say I am, and provided lots of data to prove that, along with ten years of customer history! Is this the customer experience that Verizon intends to provide? It's a cell phone, not a mortgage! I could get a new driver's license, or get fingerprinted to work with children with less supporting documentation than it takes to get a little cell phone? Lol
Apparently I'm too professional. Left a message for the manager, they called back and I'm good to go! I was verified, and apparently the two customer service agents in Fraud that I spoke to were out of line!
You never ship an item that must be signed for by you yourself to a PO Box. And, if you can be approved to take care of other humans with less of a background and credit check than getting a smartphone....there's something wrong with that.
It wasnt shipped to a po box that was the billing address. The point is that you dont need that much verification.Their customer service agents were being rude and inappropriately asking for information they didnt need. I could have walked into any store and got a phone, but since i ordered online i got put througg the ringer. However the lady who called back after speaking to a manager had no idea what these othertwo were doing so it was quite vindicating! Thanks for the reply though....

Looks like you got your Galaxy Note5 at least.
