We took our laptop in to Geek Squad because it wasn't charging. We were called and told to come and pick it up. At pickup, we were told it needed a new battery. We were billed $160, which we paid. After looking closer at the invoice we see we were charged for battery replacement. We get home and call the geek squad and ask about the charge. We were told that we should not have been charged for that. And if we brought them a new battery, they would install it. And we did. After Geek Squad installed the battery we were called and told that the charger port was broken and the laptop would not charge. We were told if we order a new charger port and bring it to them. They would install it for $60. My question was how was this not discovered when the laptop was brought in and was the battery actually bad? They couldn't answer that question. I ordered a new charger port and had it repaired somewhere else.
Thank you so much to Sal for helping us navigate the store and buy products for our GoPro. He was so kind and offered excellent customer service. Thanks Sal!
What the hell do you need a store for if everything has to be ordered online?

We understand the frustration when you could not find what you were looking for in one of our stores. While we try to stock many items in store, our wide selection does mean that some items may need to be ordered for fast shipping or store pick up on a later date.
