Terrible customer service. First I had difficulty online. A representative tried to assist me. He was professional and patient. However setting up an appointment with someone from the Geek Sguad for a home visit for troubleshooting did not occur. I was advised to go directly to a Best Buy store.
I went to the Jacksonville NC store today.
I asked to sign in . I was asked if I had an appointment. No I do not.
I was told by the Geek, I do not have an appointment until 8:40 pm. Only 1 Geek was assisting at the desk. I walked out. This is the worst customer service I've ever experienced!!
I will not deal with Best Buy because of this experience. No appropriate information given on line regarding that you must make an appointment prior to going directly to the Geek Sguad in store.
Worst customer service ever!!!! 10/26/26 and 10/2726.

Anthony was helpful, approached me first, and solved my issue instantly without hesitation. Hands down best experience I’ve had with a best buy associate.
Everything is overpriced. Surprised they stay in business in the world we live in.
The shelves were empty, where is there shipment with the supplies. After walking around for over 15 mins. looking for a flash drive, with multiple employees standing around socializing with each other; no one asked if my mother and I needed assistance. After finding what I was looking for, someone came up to us asking if we needed help. SMH
