Navy Exchange Main — Local services in Oak Harbor

Having been a member of the local community for over 29 years, I have witnessed numerous changes to the store. Although I strive to maintain a positive tone in this review, it is challenging to assert that the store has improved.

I love the NEX i would probably give it a 5 but because of the mobile kiask they have it only deserves a 1 star. Where do I begin, first of all it took 4-5 hours just to get us to switch mobile companies and I had the nerve to keep my guard down and believe what they were telling me. They told me TMobile would buy our contracts and pay off the rest of our phone (which they don't). So we have pay even more out of pocket to pay off the phones. They said they set us up for the BOGO deal(which they didn't, I had to go to a creditable TMobile retailer and they were gracious enough to honor it). Terrible people, just wanted to make a...
