    I don’t feel it was right that I was charged $79.99 for setup just because I requested setup after I got the sound bar home and realized I couldn’t do it myself after I was assured by an associate at the store that it wasn’t hard to install.

    The first tech called to confirm. Sent an email. Came to my high rise and left without notifying me. Then after I had been waiting two hours, I called him. He lied to me and said he called me to say he cannot come up. Absolutely unacceptable. If he lies about that how could I let him in my home?

    The agents that mounted my sound bar left the wires dangling. The whole point of getting these installed was so everything was flushed and clean. I ended up having to do everything on my own. They mounted my tv and had the wires dangling for that as well and never installed the HDMI wire I asked them to put on prior to mounting the tv. Terrible service!!!

    Bose sound bar was improperly connected to TV by Geek Squad. Multiple visits failed to solve the problem. On the last scheduled visit, technicians failed to show up. Had they simply Googled the problem or contacted Bose, they could have solved the problem, as I eventually did by myself. Overall, the Geek Saud’s performance was extremely disappointing.

    It was not the technician who installed my new TV and added the extra charge added to my bill, but IMO the $50 add on to plug in the sound bar was excessive

    It was as if these guys never did the job before. One of them (Samuel) immediately started saying “we’ve got a problem, you didn’t pay for WiFi setup”. I said I paid extra to have it set up and mounted. It took these two 25 minutes to do the job and were out the door before I could even see if the sound bar worked. Next time I’ll pay twice the price for my own electrician. Yikes.

      I appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback about your recent setup. While it sounds like your service was completed, it should be a smooth and worry-free experience, so I’m apologetic that there was confusion about what you had purchased and that the appointment felt rushed. If you have additional concerns about your service, please feel free to reach out to us at (800) GEEK-SQUAD or (800) 433-5778, otherwise, I hope that you someday decide to give us the opportunity to show the excellent service I know we can provide.
