Those "renting" rezounds and razrs

[jacwhite22]

I would triple check the fine print .......I just talked to a couple people at my local store and they were very adamant that the extended return policy is for unactivated phones (for gifts only) and that activated phones have the standard 14 day return/exchange policy......I know your mileage may vary with this....I do not see anything stating this in the return details but two managers at my local store were very adamant about it.

Wireless Device/Accessory Return Policy
You may return or exchange wireless devices and accessories purchased from Verizon Wireless within 14 days of purchase. A restocking fee of $35 ($70 for netbooks and tablets) applies to any return or exchange of a wireless device (excluding Hawaii).
This return and exchange policy does not apply to customers who have purchased a Prepaid Plan.
Purchases made between November 15 and December 28, 2011 may be returned or exchanged through January 15, 2012. All other provisions of Verizon Wireless’ Return & Exchange Policy continue to apply, including Restock Fee.

I was told by a store manager that I could return mine but it had to be in "like new" condition. Activated or not. This was 3 hours ago.

Pretty typical misinformation spread around.

It happens with big companies like vzw. Someone is told something wrong by someone else and it just spreads in the stores. Best way to get a solid answer is normally to call the support line. They tend to know what goes on.

I got a non corporate store to give me a return/exchange until Dec 11th and they waived my restocking fee. I'm "renting" a Razr and waiting for the G-Nex :-)

Costco is pretty standard with 90 days and no restocking fee.

Return Policy - Verizon Wireless

Cool thanks for the link. So the Gnex will be an even exchange for my Rezound then assuming it's at the same $300 price tag?

edit: To clarify - when I exchange my Rezound which I got at the discounted price with two year contract - the exchange will be even steven and I won't lose my two year contract upgrade, right?

I guess I have to ask why people "rent" other phones knowing they will be returning them when another phone comes out?

I can understand it if your current phone is not functioning and you need a replacement, or you are actually purchasing a phone and find out you don't like it. However, I'm failing to understand why someone would intentionally get a new phone, knowing they will not keep it and return it a few weeks later.

I am not bashing anyone, just trying to understand the motive.
