    The agent were supposed to set up my laptop to run turbo tax. They downloaded the program and when I got home it wouldn't work. Turbo tax also couldn't help. I had a long wait and had to come back several times. I was able to fix the issue with the help of a manager from the cell phone area who helped me get onto the best buy hotspot.

    Difficult to reach anyone by phone at the store. I was disconnected several times. Long waits and little results.

    Geek Squad was in a hurry to assist to move my data to a new phone. They placed a device between the old and new and left us to watch. The new device managed about one third but did not tell us how much was missing and the old device was sold.

    This review is for setup of my mobile phones with total tech -without total tech it would have cost $40 which is insane. I wouldn't exactly say the set up anything they plugged the cord into the phones handed me the phone and asked what i wanted transfered then walked away and didn't return. The only reason I choose for them to "transfer " content instead of me doing it - which was obviously not the case since I'm the one who did it - was to ease my mothers mind since I pay for her service. Usually total tech is very helpful but this whole encounter was horrible

      We appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback with us. Getting a new device is exciting, and we know you're anxious to start using it. Our Setup for New Devices service is meant to help with things such as getting the device up and running, downloading any new software needed, creating individual accounts, and making sure the product connects to Wi-Fi properly. That said, we can understand how your individual account not including your favorites from your last device would rub you the wrong way. If that's something you would like help getting set-up, please reach out to the store who performed the service to see if they can better assist.

    I've never seen such a mess before! If it could go wrong, it did. Employees not knowing what the former employee did. Cancelling total tech. Missing cord from original purchase. I think that 14 trips to Best Buy in a short amount of time is disgraceful. And for one of your day managers to not allow a no-charge house call is absurd. It should have been the least you could do. But ... no ....

    Horrible. The geek was completely uncommunicative. I asked a question..how do I use this? (Nothing happened when I tapped the icons). He told me my time was up and that I'd need to make another appointment and pay $$$ to get a lesson. When I got home, I wasn't able to get anything to work. (A brand new computer). I had to hire another reputable private technology expert. He told me that the installation had not been finished, (I'd gotten a notification from microsoft). He also told me that the icons the geek put on my computer lead to no where!! I am disgusted with Best Buy. I paid for nothing but frustration!

      While we wish you were reaching out under happier circumstances, we appreciate you taking the time to share this with us. Our help is meant to make it easier to use your new computer, so it hurts to learn that the service you received instead left you feeling more confused. That doesn't seem right! For further assistance, please contact the store you visited for this service, and share your experience with a manager so they can step in.

    The agent took all my information from my old phone and put it on my new phone. They were very efficient. They were not able to transfer my Skype account. After some checking on the internet I was able to do it myself.

    Geek Squad said they would be able to moved data from my dead Samsung to my new iPhone. After following the initial setup instructions as they said to, they then refused to even try because apparently initial setup on the iPhone was the only chance to be recover the data. They did nothing to setup my new iPhone and refused to try to recover the data off my old phone like they said they would and could if I bought their service.

    My experience has been a nightmare and I would not recommend taking out the geek squad plan. We had then to our home to set up all out devices. Did not know this was not cover under the plan. We spent over 2,000 dollars and then had to add cost for them to come to out home. We are still having problem with all set ups and cant seem to get the help we need without now money out of pocket
