Poor online order service and customer care suppor
Poor service. I ordered the 16gb ram macbook and got the 8gb version. Luckily i checked it in the store, but was offered no resolution other than returning it and having to look for another laptop 3 weeks before Christmas. Both store manager and phone customer service supervisor were rude and not helpful at all. Will not be doing business with bestbuy. Much rather buy from Amazon, where service ia much better.
