We researched laptops and went to Augusta to purchase, as the website showed one in stock. However, it had been sold by the time we got there. The service rep named 'Green' looked online and found one at the Lexington, SC store. We paid for the laptop at that store, asked him if there wasn't ANYTHING else we needed to do and he said no. We drove an hour to the store only to find out they sold the laptop during our drive there! The service manager told us that employees should call the store where the item is located if there are less than 3 in stock to reserve. This guy in Augusta did not do that and wasted over two hours of our time. Be warned if you shop at Best Buy and find an item you want, make sure it's actually in stock.

Always gotten good deals on quantity electronics. Was hard to get help on sales floor. Not enough sales assistance, sign of the times I guess.
I I am so very happy with our Best Buy store. I ordered from Amazon and they were supposed to set up two TVs and they dumped them. Literally FedEx dumped them at my front door and they stay there for days till the UPS came and picked it up for Amazon. I ordered my LG TV Yesterday and they had an opening today for delivery. CJ and Blake were very knowledgeable in the store about the difference in the Hisense and LG TV. The LG TV was in stock and Quentin who came to install it and install my apps with absolutely fabulous. I am 72 years old and I am not savvy with this new equipment. I have had LG TVs in the past that have lasted for so long and so I am very happy that I went with LG and went in store to buy it. They were knowledgeable n patient with me both in store and on the delivery and set up. It was worth the extra money. this was the Best Buy on Walton Way Ext.⭐️
