Best Buy Bellingham

The staff is accommodating and cordial.

Absolutely impossible to find anyone in the store that knows anything about car sound systems, half the stuff they display is not in stock, yes they'll install a radio head for free if you purchase it from them and it costs over $300. However that's just to put it in, bare bones. It's $125 extra per wire connect if you want your back up cam or your steering wheel controls or literally anything else. In addition, you must cover the wiring harness, interface, dash kit, antennae adapter etc that are all a necessary part of a basic aftermarket receiver install. I also tried to buy a blue tooth speaker or a sound bar recently, each were $150 off of their normal $500 but since none were in stock too bad so sad. I wasn't allowed to buy the floor models even though they were being discontinued and were of no use to best buy. Lastly, when I went in looking to upgrade my home printer I was told by a tech that I would be wasting my money as printers are virtually disposable and where they really get you is with the ink. So he literally talked me out of buying one. Know that this review isn't based on one visit to Best buy, it's based on several trips in, which I actually swore I'd never do again after they sold me a lemon Lenovo laptop 2 years ago that had to have the mother board replaced 3 times. The 3rd time was 3 days after my warranty expired. 3 days. So I had to eat the $1800 because Best buy said it was Lenovos responsibility and Lenovo said Best buy should be responsible and replace it. Instead Best buy offered me a $50 in store voucher. So they admitted culpability just not for anything above $50. Can you imagine the monetary backlash they'd have felt from just making it right for me? It would have sunk them for sure. God forbid they make a customer feel like they got their moneys worth or that this huge multimillion dollar corporation has your back. Wouldn't it just be so refreshing if you EVER actually got what you paid for. No wonder consumers are so ticked off. We're tired of repeatedly being taken advantage of and straight up stolen from. The way I see it, I should be the proud owner of $1,800 of best buy shares. Why should they get my money and I get nothing? But I suppose it's how they got so big .. over pricing everything they sell and then treating you like the idiot that should have never trusted them to begin with (my bad)!

Just a warning there 2 year warranty is misleading as they make you pay again for the second year without warning from the associates in store. They need to make it clear it is a yearly subscription at the time of sale. On the bright side they do give a good warning before they charge your card again.

They had what I was looking for and the staff knew what they were doing it's worth paying the extra money
