    Title: Defective Product & No Help From Best Buy Honolulu I purchased a unit from Best Buy Honolulu that failed in under 10 minutes. When I sought assistance, I was told their 15-day return window had closed and that warranty issues were “not their responsibility.” I spent two hours on the phone with 4 different agents including a supervisor—none would help. The product’s manufacturer refused warranty service because I live in Hawaii, yet Best Buy still sold the item here and now refuses to do anything. This experience is unacceptable for a national retailer. If you buy a product here and it fails, you deserve support—not to be passed around.

    I ordered an ice maker for an LG refrigerator everywhere else told me I had to wait 3 to 5 weeks to get it so I went to Best buy and it was here within a week. I pulled up to their location. My box was waiting for me! Super easy!

    Staff was friendly, & helpful. Large variety of electronics, games, accessories. Since we visited on Halloween we noticed an associate with a wonderful costume of one of the best OverWatch characters. I was impressed and happy to see a person in a costume. Overall, great Best Buy, thank you Honolulu.

    Had an incident where I was returning something and they did not have enough cash due to recent deposits. After some back-and-forth, Jia and Joey and the rest of the customer service team went above and beyond to find a creative solution to get me my refund. I really appreciate all of the employees that work at this location, they are always friendly and helpful this is why I’m a loyal Best Buy customer and member. Thank you again, and sorry for any trouble I may have inadvertently caused on your accounting department’s back end!

    I had to return the monitor I just bought for my son this morning and wondering which one to buy. Ryan came up to me and asked if I need any help. He listened and gave me some ideas and suggestions. He didn't mind to go to the back to check inventory few times. While I was waiting, 2 other associates asked me if I needed help without any aggression as some other stores where they get commissions. It was very pleasant experience and I thought some nice people working there.
