Once again had a good experience getting computer diagnostics and buying a new computer. I took my old one in for repairs and they said it was beyond that point. I then was able to get a new laptop for a great price. I've purchased several computers and TV's and other electronics from Best Buy and have always had a good experience.
Incredibly disappointed in the lack of empathy from GeekSquad at this location. I’ve been in multiple times to pursue service for an unfortunately defective device I purchased. I’ve been unable to receive any assistance (due to requested fees or subscriptions that I’m unwilling to pay), or even a comforting reassurance by any employee.
There’s absolutely no leniency in any policy, they do not care what situation you’re in. I have an unfortunate situation, with no fault of my own. I have only been met with robotic statements of policy, given by blank faces that only desire my departure.
Even if the answer is no, a comforting redirect and understanding is the least you can do. These folks greatly need to work on their empathy, and the corporation needs to work on their leniency.
I’m happy to say that I’ve been successful in pursuing support directly with the manufacturer of my product, and recommend the same to others.

Website stated a product's return-window was 15 days. Buried within my specific order it stated I had more time. Upon realizing this, I missed the return window by 1 day. After calling customer service I asked for an extended grace-period for the return and was denied.
Amazon and Walmart are much more gracious and understanding with their return policy and customer service in my experience, so I'll be taking future electronics purchases elsewhere going forward.

It's very annoying that you can't get someone on the phone to help. Customer service is nonexistent if you can't call for information. When you call, it goes to an answering machine, and they say they'll get back to you if you leave a number. They never call you back.
I live an hour away from the store, and I have to drive there to get a simple answer. THAT is not customer service.
