Where to start. I understand that no one at the store cares but I hope customers will see this. I went to Best Buy, where I've been buying my electronics and appliances since 2012. Ordered 2 iPhone 18pro max waited a week and when I went to pick up, it was cancelled about one hour before I got there. one of the phones was gone and one was there. They had an explanation but honestly I couldn't care less cause for some reason any explanation they give only makes sense to them. I went back the next day to pick up my phone and while the Verizon rep was working on the new account since I was trying to switch from ATT TO VERIZON, someone from Folsom Best Buy puts a hold on the phone. Now apparently the manager of Citrus Heights Best Buy "canceled" that transaction and they're waiting for the system to clear the phone so I can get it. They asked me to go home and once the system "cleared" it they'll give me a call. My guess is that either the other customer got it or the Best Buy system is running a background check on the phone cause I still haven't gotten a call and I'm pretty sure I won't get the call until they order a new one and say the system finally cleared it. Even more frustrating is the magic word, the "apology " without any solution. So if you need to buy anything from Best Buy, know you'll get it in 2 to 3 months or take your business to another store. Btw this one star is more than Best Buy deserves

Steve in the car installation department was knowledgeable, helpful, and did a good job of upselling your products. Got my dash cam installed he did a great job.
