Excellent customer service
I bought a new laptop. That went fine. I elected to have Geek Squad set up the new laptop and transfer the old laptop information to the new one. I was told it would be 3 hours before they could do that. Made an appointment to come back the next morning. Got there and filled out some paperwork. This took 10 minutes and was told I needed to make an appointment to have the work done. I live 25 miles away. They didn't have anyone who could have done the 10 minutes of paperwork the day before? So, I had to come back the next day to have the work done.

Right from the start, it was rough with the staff misdirecting me to the section I needed to go for the item I was looking for. After looping around and finding it myself, I was unable to locate anyone to help me confirm if the item was available and ideally get it from the back for me. So I had to then spend more time waiting in line at customer service/checkout, and then more time waiting for them to radio someone, then more time waiting for that person to come meet me. When the person finally came I was in the process of placing my order on BestBuy.com (the QR code on the item took me to the order page) paused the purchase to confirm that the item was in stock which WAS CONFIRMED, so I placed the order and said I'll be back in later to pick it up, only to get a message that the item is unavailable. What type of bizarre shopping experience for a company to make it that difficult to make a purchase!?! tHaNKfULLy they gave me the option to pick the item up in another location which was in PA, so not only was my time wasted in the store, inconvenienced to go to PA, and then tax was automatically added to my PayPal charge. I spoke to Best Buy customer service chat line about all of my frustrations which that person was apologetic, and offered me an I'm sorry we'll do better next time. I assured them no more next times and I would have canceled the purchase if I didn't use PayPal pay in Four which is a hassel to cancel. Best Buy used to be the premier spot for everything tech. You used to turn every corner and there was someone checking in. It's so unfortunate to see where they are today. Be mindful of your remaining customers, or you will lose them as well.
Cory was very helpful and went out of his way to solve the problem with my order.
Thank you so much, Cory!!
