Disappointed with battery replacement
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Battery replacement requires the computer to be shipped away for 2-4 weeks in order to be diagnosed and replaced. Customers need to understand this since most people (especially a college student) cannot be without a computer for up to a month.

Needs review during COVID
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pandemic prevents Geek Squad reviews in store. Need better options to correct and fix- particularly when devices are within 90 days of purchase. Have spent 25+ hours on phone to resolve.

not recommended
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not thrilled with bestbuy extended warranties. paid $2200 for a laptop last year, after one year the hinge got a slight crack. paid $500 for a 3 year warranty thinking it would protect my purchase. Since the same item was no longer available i got a refund of the $2200 but it was not near enough to replace the laptop that broke. So i ended up spending another 500 plus had to get a new warranty. i suggest going with the total tech.

refund
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was told this plan comes with the anti-virus protection. I asked several times to be sure since this is very important. After using the online chat for almost an hour, was told that the plan I was sold does not include the anti virus software. I tried calling several times, unable to reach anyone to get a refund. When being sold this product I was also told I would receive 24/7 support... so how do I get a refund please???

Worthless
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If i could give this a zero i most certainly would!!!!!! I bought this plan as during my 60 years these plans have been invaluable. Not today! After 16 days in for repair I called to check the status. No matter how many times I asked Angie (whose English was poor at best) she kept wanting to schedule a time for me to drop off my computer! When I asked to speak to her supervisor after 10 minutes of additional hold time I was hung up on! Thank you Angie

Unhappyanddisappointed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Requested a refund because of poor customer service. I phone the following day to assure the process was complete and they had not completed the process which meant I received less of the prorated amount. I thought that was the end of the frustration. I was wrong in my assumption. The check was was to arrived in a week and when it didn’t arrive, I called and found out that they had canceled the check.

I cannot use geek squad after Hurricane or store.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I cannot have Geek squad help since Hurricane IDA. I have a small tax office at home in Thibodaux Louisiana. About 20 minutes away is your only Best Buy location and it is obviously not going to be up anytime soon in Houma, LA. I cannot drive to a farther store. I need to stop my Geek Squad Protection at all since I have no help. I will be happy to start again if I can get to your Houma, LA store.

Always reschedule
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ordered a dishwasher and 2 days later I was notified that I need to reschedule delivery with the earliest available date a week later than my original date. I called in and was told there was nothing that could be done. When I asked for a supervisor, they hung up on me without a word spoken. Second time in a row this has happened. Do NOT depend on Geek Squad!!!! If you really need it and want a dependable install date, go somewhere else.

Horrible computer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s unfortunate that I forgot to extend my protection and shortly after my crawling baby, crawled on it and pushed the screen down and broke it, not worth the price and frustration!

Extended warranty no good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Puchased a Geek Squad 3 year waranty on a Samsung laptop in March 2023. Touchscreen failed in December. So it should be covered on both manufacturer and ageek squad warranty. Totay they ar3 telling me is $431 to get it fixed. Inclined to think Iwill notbe buying either another Samsung or extended warranty soon

Slow turnaround time!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I turned in my laptop for repairs weeks ago, and I still don't have it back yet! Way to slow on the turnaround time, and I still haven't heard about when it'll be returned to me!

Posted .Hello Tilted – sometimes it can take a while for parts to arrive after ordering them in. That may be the cause of the delay. That said, we should be able to give you a more specific update on the status of your repair if you call your local store at the phone number on your service order. Alternatively, you can call us at 1-800-GEEKSQUAD (1-800-433-5778) for an update.

Didn't worked for me this time!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got the geek squad protection plan for this laptop and took it 5 times to store the same times that the problem didn't got fixed, now I run out of warranty and stayed with an unusable laptop as it doesn't catch the internet for more than 2 minutes

Waste of money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Again, broken laptop hinges, but they can't repair hinges, so refund purchase price instead of getting equal replacement value. Equal laptops more expansive now, and they blamed me for broken hinges, and didn't even refund useless 2 yr protection, since I got a refund? You didn't fix anything, I had the laptop for 5 months!

PROTECTION
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA UNTIL I PURCHASE A DEFECTIVE LAPTOP AND I WASN'T SLLOWED TO TRANSFER THIS PROTECTION PLAN OVER TO THE NEXT LAPTOP. HAD TO PAY FOR ANOTHER PROTECTION. WASTE OF MONEY.

unneeded unless you are rough on it
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It really should not be this expensive for a product to be warrantied. Its one thing if you are rough on it. But obvious issues should be covered for a longer period of time automatically.
