Frequently Asked Questions About Best Buy San Diego
How do I check product availability at the San Diego Best Buy?
BestBuy.com will have the latest product availability information. Check back frequently, as product availability may change. Statuses such as Sold Out or Check Stores may update throughout the season. Products displayed as Sold Out, In Store Only, or Check Stores cannot be ordered by phone. Call Center agents are not able to provide guidance on inventory levels.
How do I check my order status?
Visit the Order Status page and enter the order number (from your order confirmation email), plus the last name and phone number you used to place the order. If you have an account, you can also access your orders from your Account overview after you sign in.
My local San Diego Best Buy store and BestBuy.com ran out of the item I want. Is there another way to get it?
Inventory is constantly updated in stores and on BestBuy.com, especially during the holiday season. Make sure to check back early, and often, in case of a restock.
I bought a gift that requires service/installation. When can I expect that to be scheduled?
We’ll always try our best to accommodate your needs when scheduling a service appointment and would be happy to reserve the most convenient, available appointment slot for you, but for time-sensitive services/installations we recommend that you schedule as far in advance as possible. For vehicle installations, you can view, schedule, check, change or reschedule appointments by visiting Geek Squad® Autotech Reservations. Please keep in mind that demand for appointments around the holidays is so high that appointment slots typically fill up quickly.
What are Best Buy San Diego stores’ holiday hours?
To accommodate your schedule during the holiday rush, many Best Buy stores will be open for extended holiday hours. Some stores may have different hours where required by local ordinances or landlord regulations. Mall-based Best Buy store hours may vary based on mall hours. For the most up-to-date hours, please review store hours on the San Diego Best Buy store web page located above. BestBuy.com is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year and offers free around-the-clock chat support.

This last time in there was one of the most disappointing shopping trips ive ever had in there. I went there specifically for a printer. I knew which one I wanted. I checked online before I even bothered to drive down there. I stood in front of the printers for a solid 45 minutes and not once did an employee try to help me. No one even greeted me. I saw 4 or 5 of them walk by me to go to the back. I saw them standing around talking to each other. They didn't appear busy(i see why now). In fact there were very few cars in the parking lot when I pulled in. I never found the printer i came for. Said it was there in stock online. So I had to choose a different one. The price tags didnt match the prices they had online (yes, it was set to my store too). When I scanned the qr code the price it gave was much higher than the tag. I would've loved to have asked some questions but nobody could be bothered to give any customer service. Ive been a very loyal and faithful best buy shopper for decades. Ive given these guys thousands of dollars. Ive never had such a crappy experience there before. Its no wonder why theyre closing locations with customer service skills like that. The only reason im giving 3 stars is because im hoping it was just a bunch of worthless employees and they'll be fired soon. I wont order from bestbuy online ever again because of my experience at the holiday time. In person only now. But if I get another experience like this again I just wont ever come back. If they dont want customers to spend their money there then they are doing a good job at making them not want to.

Every time I visit this location, the staff seem unhappy and disengaged. I’m not sure if it’s an issue with management or the employees themselves, but the overall atmosphere feels negative.
