can't even shop without getting stopped by security
Had an awful experience with an open box transaction. Purchased an “excellent” condition open box item online. Received a product ready for pick up notification. Drove an hour to pick up only to find out they listed the item incorrectly. Stuff happens but i drove an hour, paid for parking and spent 1+ hour on the phone with customer service. I was just trying to get the order cancelled and my parking validated. They cancelled the order but told me they cannot provide credit for parking or wasting 2 hours of my day even though their employee was at fault. I used to buy appliances for my properties from Best Buy. No more. Advice for others: call ahead and have them check the product before you go.

Terrible for their geek squad, Scheduled an appointment for a crack phone/ clearly couldn't use it. And they unexpectedly canceled my appointment wiithout telling me. They also showed no real remorse and then also suggested going to a 3rd party, which is terrrible advice given apple won't ever repair it if i do that.
