I bought a MacBook Pro from here and the guy selling it to me(indian looking guy) offered me a free year of geek squad services. They told me if I had any problems I could bring it to the store and that after the free year went by I’d be notified by them so that I can cancel it. Anyways I was charged 200 dollars for it and I had to sit on my phone and talk to like 5 different Best Buy representatives just to get my refund…y’all get one star..I should’ve just went to the apple store 😂

Geek squad here is laughable. I brought my PC here a few weeks ago that I bought back in 2020 from this location. The customer service Rep on my first visit was extremely nice. Very helpful, outgoing, and had a passion for his work. He kept trying to upsell me to being a member but I told him I'd like to see how this repair goes and then I'd consider it. I'm glad I waited because now I'm only out $100 instead of $200. When I got a call saying my PC was ready for pick up I came in immediately and I was helped by a different team member. This person had no idea what they were doing. When I asked him what was wrong with my PC he said he wasn't sure but it was working now. Okay, whatever. I bring it home, set it up, and it's still not working. I go back the next day and tell them that the device still isn't working. Now I'm working with a 3rd person. This person tells me that the services don't guarantee that the product will work. I ask him why it's not working and he doesn't know either. I show him the diagnostic report they gave me upon the initial pick up and he says he didn't write it so he doesn't know. After 3 different visits, $100 spent, I now have a still broken computer and 2 employees who couldn't be bothered to do anything about it. Take your money else where.

The staff is wonderful. The LG products really stink. I bought a DVD player that was on the expensive side and is nothing but a noisy mess, and now it's not working at all. It's not even two years old. What a lemon. Now I have to buy a DVD player that isn't the same brand as my LG TV, which is kind of excellent. Boy does this have me fuming....

I don't know much about best buy

I bought a used Samsung 5 from Boost Mobile which no longer under warranty. Camera doesn't focus right away unless I use the selfie part. Battery drains so fast...does best buy help with repairs? If so how much?

Sharrissa Hodge | Aug 27, 2018
Brian Foster | Aug 27, 2018

Best Buy will not work on anything that is not covered by a Geek Squad program. This is from recent experience. I had asked about having them look at an item that they actually carried of mine. They'd be responsible if they caused further damage.

Does Best Buy accept TV & computers

Me | Aug 26, 2020
Robert Hogan | Aug 26, 2020

Yes, depending on the tv size a 25 dollar fee may be required. From their website: Products we recycle for a $25 fee per item: Limit two TVs per household per day. Tube TVs smaller than 32" Flat-panel TVs: LCD, plasma, LED smaller than 50" There are no store drop-off fees in California. Stores in Connecticut and Pennsylvania do not accept TVs for drop-off. Computers are free

My Samsung 65" NU 6900 didn't come with stand screws. When and where can I pick them up?

Candace Raderman | Aug 26, 2020
Robert Hogan | Aug 26, 2020

Usually screws are included for the stands at the bottom of the TV. Sometimes they are screwed into their installation holes, otherwise they would need to be obtained through the manufacturer. However, they are inexpensive and I believe if you informed Best Buy they could help. Regardless, the TV can be exchanged if it's missing installation components. I have never known that to be an issue with Best Buy. I'd definitely call before returning the TV. One last thought is to recheck the bag for the remote control. Sometimes they are in there.

In truth they will probably try to get you to buy a new system because of their sales model. It's probably best to call their service counter if you are dead set on going through this retailer.
