DO NOT PREORDER GAMES HERE! I preordered Pokémon Z-A and they did not have the game ready on launch day. The staff at the store told me it was “on the truck” and to check back in a few hours. I called a few hours later and was told the item is not in stock. I took the entire day off work to play this game on release day. Next time I will go with GameStop or just buy online.

It was a great experience. I went there to buy a wireless charger, but one of the staff took a look to my phone and fixed it, without any payment my phone connector fixed I appreciate Best Buy for your supportive staff.

I had scheduled an iPhone battery replacement, over the phone, providing the details on my model. When I arrived, the technician mentioned that he was not sure to have the part in stock, and asked me to write my PIN on a paper consent form. I asked why did they schedule a battery replacement if they were not sure to have a battery? I also mentioned that I am not allowed to provide the PIN of my company phone because of confidentiality, and wrote this on the paper form. The salesperson was unable to answer these two questions and acted in an arrogant manner that sealed my decision to take my business elsewhere. So, I took my business to the Des Moines Apple store, where the experience was different. They did not ask for my PIN, replaced the battery at the same cost as quoted by BestBuy, and entertained me with a demo of other Apple products while I was waiting for the replacement. I could have asked to see a manager at Ames BestBuy, but there were so many red flags that I did not invest the time. Hopefully this review helps them straighten out their business.
