Frequently Asked Questions About Best Buy San Marcos
How do I check product availability at the San Marcos Best Buy?
BestBuy.com will have the latest product availability information. Check back frequently, as product availability may change. Statuses such as Sold Out or Check Stores may update throughout the season. Products displayed as Sold Out, In Store Only, or Check Stores cannot be ordered by phone. Call Center agents are not able to provide guidance on inventory levels.
How do I check my order status?
Visit the Order Status page and enter the order number (from your order confirmation email), plus the last name and phone number you used to place the order. If you have an account, you can also access your orders from your Account overview after you sign in.
My local San Marcos Best Buy store and BestBuy.com ran out of the item I want. Is there another way to get it?
Inventory is constantly updated in stores and on BestBuy.com, especially during the holiday season. Make sure to check back early, and often, in case of a restock.
I bought a gift that requires service/installation. When can I expect that to be scheduled?
We’ll always try our best to accommodate your needs when scheduling a service appointment and would be happy to reserve the most convenient, available appointment slot for you, but for time-sensitive services/installations we recommend that you schedule as far in advance as possible. For vehicle installations, you can view, schedule, check, change or reschedule appointments by visiting Geek Squad® Autotech Reservations. Please keep in mind that demand for appointments around the holidays is so high that appointment slots typically fill up quickly.
What are Best Buy San Marcos stores’ holiday hours?
To accommodate your schedule during the holiday rush, many Best Buy stores will be open for extended holiday hours. Some stores may have different hours where required by local ordinances or landlord regulations. Mall-based Best Buy store hours may vary based on mall hours. For the most up-to-date hours, please review store hours on the San Marcos Best Buy store web page located above. BestBuy.com is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year and offers free around-the-clock chat support.

Terrible service. Best Buy has fallen a looooong way from what they once were. Do not waste your time going here. The customer service is terrible. Just shop online from someone else and get it cheaper/faster/less stress and frustration than dealing with them.
Only benefit of going to a brick and mortar IS the service! We will see how long Best Buy as a company can survive with such poor service.

Wasn't asked once if we needed help by any associates we passed. No carts. For large items. Carried our 55" tv to check out ourselves and out to the car without being offered one. Rv section very poorly laid out signs didn't indicate what tv was what based on what was in shelves.

Hello,
Thanks for sharing your feedback. A new phone can be quite the purchase, so I understand not being able to get the assistance that you needed, in a timely manner, and finding that there'd be charge for the service to set it up, wouldn't be ideal. I'd like to have our corporate team review this with you.

Please also refer to your "Google review 64936162" in your message.
