There's always extra fees or what call hidden fees when you go to third party Retail Store instead of a Corporate)  they have follow Guide-Lines set by Verizon to follow but they can also apply and early Termination fee of there own to cover there cost in such a way.. If you look really close that is if the price labels are visible & are out in the open they're higher at the third party stores I've seen this when visiting our Local Radio Shack, say your wanting to buy a Moto X it may be $200 more buying it from R.S. than it would be a the Corporate level Stores.. So you have to be on your game when you go into one of these places or they'll take ya..
