    Phone had 80 percent battery life. Best buy used and open box products are mostly a scam. They hardly have good deals and total membership is mostly useless.

    MY LAST CELL PHONE PURCHASE FROM BEST BUY!!!

    The sound when at max was just barely able to be heard in a quiet setting & not acceptable. When I took it to the store to return it & told the customer service clerk why I was returning it (it was defective) she still said she had to charge me the $45 return fee. She made no attempt to verify my claim. WILL NEVER ORDER ANOTHER CELL PHONE FROM BEST BUY!

    Once I bought the iPhone and brought it home, when I went to go set it up, it wouldn't transfer any of my data and started to overheat really bad to where I wasn't able to hold it anymore, i didn't feel safe having it on and I brought it back and got my money back.

    PreOwned not covered by Total Tech

    Do not buy preowned, not protected with your membership in Total Tech. I am a Total Tech member and have so far been really happy with the program. I have purchased many items within the past year (TV, microwave, Legos, Apple Watch). Some of these were even open box, which is awesome because the protection applies to open box. However, this phone only lasted 2 months and is not protected by my membership which was not totally clear when the purchase was made.

    Unfortunately, the SE was too small, so we returned to exchange the phone. Best Buy was hassle-free and exchanged the phone for a new version.

    The lady at the front desk sold me a refurbished phone without telling me until after I paid for it. My son’s phone doesn’t even work, they told me I had to have the receipt after I gave it to my son on Christmas and put services on it, it glitched so bad. It’s just sitting on my dresser
