I paid $300 for Geek Squad support and can never get a member on the phone. When I call, there are about 4 minutes of computer questions and advertisements on the phone but I'm never connected to a Geek Squad support member. This membership is a RIPOFF!

Had a great experience at Best Buy. I came looking for some headphones from my iPhone. I was able to find them. The cashier was very friendly and kind. Now I can make some calls from my phone and have a good conversations with my customers.

Incredibly irresponsible and rude store. I purchased an open-box excellent condition Sony TV. I had called in advance to confirm that all the accessories were in the box as this location is 45+min away from me. When I went to pick up the TV, they gave it to me in an LG box, which should've been a red flag, but reassured me that everything was in the box and the TV was in working order. I took the TV home, only to find that it was missing the TV remote and the charging cable was for an LG TV, not the original Sony TV's.
The next day I called the store to ask if they could pick it up from me for the return since the listing and condition of the product was incorrect. Their home and theater employee told me they can't do that for open box items, which isn't what I wanted to hear, but it is what it is. However, he then criticized me for not bringing the TV back to the store as soon as I found a problem, and his condescending tone implied that I was wasting his time talking to him instead of driving the TV to the store.
I found time to bring the TV to the store over the weekend for the return. They tried offering me a random power cable from a box of cables to keep the TV (without even knowing if it would fit the TV) and didn't even address the remote. Truly insulting that they think that would be an acceptable solution. They then tried offering me a new TV at full price, which meant I would have to pay the difference. I told them I wanted a return and they inspected the TV and processed my return.
Throughout this entire process, not a single employee apologized for the inconvenience or showed even a hint of empathy. What an absolutely infuriating experience.

I brought my gaming labtop to this location and the geek squad returned my labtop with more issues.

The customer service here is horrendous. I bought an iPad Pro a couple of months ago and now some Samsung Earbuds Pro 3 and all I ask is if I scan my rewards. It turns out that I got no rewards points because the guy said that you have to have a Best Buy card which is a lie. These stores are a dying business and you would think the employees will take the time on making the customers happy. Amazon has a next day delivery and I think I will buy from them for now on.
