    not all the devices are connected due to lack of connective cables, so still need techs to return.

    My subwoofer was not working and the guy said it could be receiver or sub and he could not figure it out. He then promised he would come back and resolve the issue. I told him I would buy a new one whichever one it was but they never called or came back. That was 3 weeks ago. And I even tipped them as well. I expect this to be fixed

    The team was very nice and cordial, but the results of their work was not very good. I wanted to use one remote and I made this clear in addition to direct internet connections not Wi-Fi , I had a switch for them to use. I am now using four remotes, had to rewrite Apple TV and the sound is always out of sync. It’s a real mess and I don’t know if the Geek Squad can do it.

    Had issues setting this up from the beginning. Item returned because it didn’t fit the shelf. I adjusted the shelf and reordered. Item was set up and had to recall the geek squad because it was not functioning properly. They came back and changed settings, and it still did not operate the way it was supposed to. I hired an AV tech from Thumbtack and he came and set it up correctly.

    I used the service because I thought the 83" TV was a little big for me to handle. Instead of removing the TV from the packing, they broke the Styrofoam around the base to make it easier to add the mount. OK, but I wanted to keep the packaging, for future moves. I just had them hang the TV, replace the in wall cables, and I connected the rest.

    The person that came by himself didn’t know what he could do so he wanted to reschedule the day for help him with this receiver, I told the the store when we bought it all the details and then send someone with no experience!

    the technician did not solve the issue in fact made it worse. The connection to the centre speaker was loose causing the amp to keep shutting off. I didn't have the issue before the service. When they told me it would be over a week before they could comeback out I fixed it myself. A supervisor contacted me about this later and was going to arrange for another tech to come out and reprogram my universal remote (I previously bought from you). I never heard back from them. Very disappointing. I no longer want anyone to come back out. I think I deserve my money back.

    Geek Squad failed me repeatedly.

    It took until 3 weeks after the purchase and 5 visits from Geek Squad to install one printer, one AV Receiver, and one Fire TV Cube. Sales consultant approved the purchase of a Amazon Echo, but it didn't do the job of controlling a TV. One person was sent to do both computer printer and TV/Audio work, but two people should of been sent. One technician came 2 hours before the scheduled window and I wasn't home. I called him and got his voice mail which said to call his boss at a number that had been disconnected because she doesn't work for Best Buy any longer. The tech didn't know the Dot wouldn't do the job until working on it over a half hour and calling his office. The whole process was a fiasco and one I wish I had never started with Best Buy.

    Horrible Job Connecting Tuner and Surround Sound

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The service person was here for 3 hours and obviously struggled with the setup. At one point he was packing up and ready to leave and I asked to demo the hook up so that I was assured all speakers were working. They did not work, so he spent another hour on the hookup. They were working when he left. A few nights later, my fiancée and I decided to watch a movie and enjoy our new surround sound. Shortly after starting the movie the tuner tripped off…we restarted several times and it kept tripping off. We pulled out the owners manual and discovered the error message was telling us the line shorted. We pulled out the tuner and discovered a mess of wires connected on the back. There were exposed wires and a lot of the wires were intertangled. It was a mess! We disconnected everything and reconnected with no exposed wires or lines tangled between each other. It has worked perfectly since we disconnected and reconnected properly. What a waste of money to have Geek Squad come out…never again!
