Worst logistics setup in retail — 5 visits and still no working TV!
Do not buy big-ticket items from this location unless you want to spend two months acting as a project manager for their inventory mistakes. Bought a 75" TV in July, got home to Columbus, and realized the Cincinnati store packed the wrong base legs.
What should have been a simple 24-hour hardware mailout turned into a 6-week Geek Squad disaster. They have dragged me through FIVE separate appointment windows. First tech arrived empty-handed. Second tech brought legs but forgot screws. Third tech canceled last minute. Fourth tech brought TWO screws for a FOUR-screw mount. It is completely mind-boggling how disorganized their dispatch and store logistics are. Over six weeks later, my brand new TV is an expensive paperweight on my living room floor. Pathetic.

Worst post-purchase service experience – completely dysfunctional logistics
Save yourself the headache and do not rely on Best Buy for major purchases or post-sale customer support. I bought a 75” TV at this Cincinnati store on July 22, only to discover at home that they packaged it with 65” legs. When I called to get the correct hardware, their initial response was to tell me to drive all the way back from Columbus to swap out parts for a mistake their warehouse made.
After insisting on home service, Geek Squad made a total circus of fixing a basic 4-screw setup. Over six full weeks, techs showed up to my house four separate times completely unprepared—first with no legs, then with no screws, then a canceled visit, and finally with only 2 out of the 4 required screws.
It has been almost two months, multiple taken-off work windows, and the TV is still sitting unmounted on the floor. Terrible communication, zero inventory control, and complete apathy from store management.

Zero accountability for store errors – 6+ weeks of Geek Squad failures
Extreme lack of care and service accountability at this location. Drove down from Columbus back on July 22 to pick up a 75” TV, only to discover the store had included 65” legs in the packaging. When I brought up their error, management refused to take responsibility or make it right, expecting me to make the multi-hour drive back to Cincinnati just to swap out basic hardware that they messed up.
They eventually booked Geek Squad to deliver the correct parts, which turned into a multi-week disaster. The tech showed up four separate times—first without the legs, then without screws, then delayed for missing shipments, and finally with only half the screws needed.
It has been almost two months, multiple missed work windows, and my TV is still completely unusable. A major retailer handling a basic parts swap this poorly is unacceptable. Avoid buying large electronics here if you expect any support after you leave the register.

Unbelievable customer service failure and non-stop incompetence
Avoid purchasing major electronics here if you expect post-sale support. I drove down from Columbus on July 22 to buy a 75-inch TV. The store packed the box with the wrong legs (65-inch). When I called, their immediate solution was to demand I make the multi-hour trip back to Cincinnati to fix their mistake.
When they finally agreed to send Geek Squad, it turned into a nearly two-month circus. Over FIVE different appointments and phone updates, technicians showed up with missing legs, missing screws, and eventually only 2 of the 4 required screws. It has been over six weeks and my TV is still sitting unusable on the floor.
Absolute failure of communication, inventory management, and basic customer care. Save yourself the headache and shop elsewhere.
