    Bought a laptop here had it for a few months and I noticed several keys did not work consistently. Brought it in showed the employee the problem. They sent it out and it too them around 4 weeks and then they gave it back to me with all the same problems and said that they did not do anything. Several keys still only work occasionally. Not helpful service.

    DO NOT PREORDER GAMES HERE! I preordered Pokémon Z-A and they did not have the game ready on launch day. The staff at the store told me it was “on the truck” and to check back in a few hours. I called a few hours later and was told the item is not in stock. I took the entire day off work to play this game on release day. Next time I will go with GameStop or just buy online.

    It was a great experience. I went there to buy a wireless charger, but one of the staff took a look to my phone and fixed it, without any payment my phone connector fixed I appreciate Best Buy for your supportive staff.
