Went in because I had purchased a "excellent" condition gaming handheld, which by Best Buy's definition is "Excellent: These products look brand new and have no physical flaws, scratches, or scuffs. They come with all original parts and accessories, or a suitable replacement." It was missing the stand, so I told the supervisor on duty that I wanted to keep it, i didn't want to return it. But I wasn't given what I had paid for. I would like to get the stand from another open box or get refunded to a "very good" state instead. He refused to help me at all, tried to sell me a stand (that I had already paid for), and then tried to get me to buy a new one instead. He could have helped me, absolutely chose not to. I worked in this store for 9 1/2 years, and was a manager at one point. It's a shame what it has become. Why even have a physical store if you're not there to help your clients? I returned that handheld, I will be returning the TV that was on my order for principles sake. I won't be shopping in this particular store anymore.

Hi, Devin,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with your open-box purchase. As mentioned in the "Guide to shopping the Best Buy Outlet" found https://www.bestbuy.com/site/buying-guides/outlet-buying-guide/pcmcat748300448284.c?id=pcmcat748300448284, "Products in Excellent condition look brand new — with no physical flaws, scratches or scuffs — and include all original parts and accessories (or a suitable replacement)". It's disappointing to hear that it was missing a stand but was still listed as "Excellent" condition. We are saddened to hear of what you've experienced and would like to document this on a corporate level. To do so, please send a private message that mentions "Google Review 64424755", and includes your full name, phone number, email address, and receipt or order information to our team on one of Best Buy's official social media platforms listed below.

Was extremely helpful and saved a ton of money
Curbside pickup at this location is incredibly inefficient. Despite checking in on the app and an empty parking lot. After waiting for 20 minutes and no one coming out. I ended up going inside, as this location never seems to have anyone available for curbside pickup. Other locations complete the process in under five minutes, but this one consistently falls short even for curbside pickup.
