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

Horrible Best Buy unhelpful. Took my computer in and they said it was ready only for me to get there and it wasn’t fixed. I told them to fix it since I purchased it at Best Buy and they said I had to go through manufacturing warranty. I am a Best Buy member and they were unhelpful. Also stop using AI for your phones it sucks. I should be able to talk to someone at the store.
And then they respond with contact us at our socials? Seriously? have a real person answer your phone. And you have my phone number as I was a customer. Why do I have to reach out. Are you real or is it just another AI reaching out to me?

Don't buy geek squad or best buy protection plans. They don't cover the things that matter. I purchased one for a television. Was told it WOULD cover dropping or falling. I dropped mine. And they DID NOT let me exchange mine. Customer service leaves something to be desired here as well.
