Frequently Asked Questions About Best Buy El Cajon
How do I check product availability at the El Cajon 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 El Cajon 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 El Cajon 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 El Cajon 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.

Julian had the best customer service when I stepped in the building. Even extended his grace for immediate Service. He passed the baton to Ms. Kat super awesome and friendly. Thank you both for the awesome service!

Most useless people at this location in the geek squad department. They act like you can't transfer a protection plan over when it says right on the website that you can.
If you're unsure about your store's policy that's fine, but why do these employees always act like you (the customer) are an inconvenience just for being there? I always knew I hated this store but this was a good reminder why.

Good morning,
Thanks for sharing your experience. We understand wanting to transfer your protection plan to someone else, but not being able to get the assistance with that, isn't ideal. We'd like to look into this with you to see how we can help.

Went to Best Buy El Cajon-bad customer service-rude employees and no assistance finding what I needed. I just left-will try the Mission Valley store
