Sent me an iPad mini 2. I paid for rush delivery for a trip. I reached out to online customer service and they tell me to go to the store. I go to the store, they tell me there is nothing they can do for me and to call customer service. I spend an hour with customer service who tells me I can get a refund (not a replacement) if I print labels and bring it back wasting more of my time. I ask to speak to a manager and they tell me they are busy. Now I have no tablet for my trip because best by screwed me over over a $300 tablet even though I spent 3 grand on a fridge there a few months ago. Also shipping box was destroyed when it got to my house. Best buy customer service is Absolutely awful.

Faulty charging port from the get-go

Unfortunately, it came out of the box with faulty charging port -- it was my fault I did not return it immediately but I wanted to believe it would still charge, but it finally quit charging altogether even with "playing" with the cable placement. I tried it with multiple cables that I verified work with all my other Apple Lightning-port devices (older iPad, PowerBeats Pro case, iPhone 11), but it was always a problem with this device. I am sad to say that I will never buy another "Geek Squad" refurbished unit without testing it at the store before accepting it so I can return it immediately if it has any issues.
