Store personnel was extremely professional and timely in assisting with my in store pickup. There was a short line that was cleared in minutes. The television was just as I purchased and is performing perfectly.
I recently had an extremely frustrating experience at this Best Buy location. Despite placing an online order for a laptop, I encountered multiple issues with the pickup process. The order wasn't ready, the system showed errors, and a hold was placed on the order even though I had proof of payment. The staff provided conflicting information and seemed unhelpful, particularly the manager who initially claimed there was no order at all.
Beyond the order pickup issues, the store's atmosphere was unsettling. The presence of armed security, employees with earpieces, and constant camera surveillance made me feel like I was in a bank rather than a retail store. I was particularly concerned about my safety when leaving with an expensive item, given the store's location.
I strongly recommend avoiding this Best Buy location. If you need to shop at Best Buy, consider visiting the Columbia store instead. In my experience, it's better stocked and offers a safer and more comfortable shopping environment.
