They won't let you look at anything locked up in a cage. Took my mother-in-law here to get a laptop and/or tablet. We drove over two hours to shop in person here so she could get a great deal and demo the items she was looking to purchase, however that didn't happen. They would not allow her to touch or try out a single laptop or tablet. When I asked the employee if she could see the laptop they held it up and turned it around and asked if we got a good look at it. The employee also refused to get a manager for us to speak to even after being asked multiple times. The employee stated theft was too high at their store, and that corporate loss prevention watched cameras in their store and if they saw an employee allowing someone to touch a product they would be written up and/or fired. The absolute worse customer service I've ever had at a Best Buy. Do NOT waste your time going here, I am so disappointed in Best Buy.
Best Buy responded they don't allow demos of products, really?!?! My local Best Buy let my mother-in-law look at tablets, touch the tablets, and even had demo tablets on display for people handle.

Excellent job by the attendants. Very helpful!
The customer service is less than desirable but they have good prices
Over priced for an outlet found same items on line or at other stores way cheaper

Hello, Emerson,
Our Best Buy Outlet stores offer great Open-Box prices on the items available at the store. These prices depend on the condition of the item so having an item that is perfect can cause the price to be higher. You can also check out other Open-Box items on our Best Buy website.
