In store, customer service is great. If you need to contact them on the phone for repairs, installation, whatever, the service is atrocious. The AI answering system is useless and it takes forever to reach a live human, who is unfortulately not fluent in English so communication is really hit or miss. If they tell you they are scheduling a call-back with another department so you don't have to wait on hold, you are automatically dialed by that department so you sit on hold anyway.

I know everyone has their own experiences. But ive always had great customer service here. And lets be frank, thats why brick and mortar still exists.
Don't bother calling. The store phone number is transferred off shore to a customer service number that offers no prompts, can't hear you when you talk and hangs up. I called about 20 times and got through once. The guy who answered had real issues with English and was guessing on the answers. The extended warranty on my laptop is not the one year as his first guess was, but is two years. So glade I pushed for the actual date. ANSWER YOUR STORE PHONE!!!!!!
