Both of the Geek people that helped set the new computer up were friendly and took the time to explain what did not understand about the system.
Felt they gave good customer service.
Was disappointed that after they said there would be plenty of room left on the computer even with a 128 SSI and they had removed non-essential programs from the computer and we loaded a few programs, the computer had least then half available space free on the SSI. Might have waited for the higher KB in the model next year had it been explained that so little space would be left on the computer.
But overall, felt the Geek people treated people with respect and courtesy while getting their job done.

My new phone was set up by the mobile sales dept. I found them to be very knowledgeable and while it took several hours to activate and transfer my data to the new phone once it was done I was satisfied. The only criticism I have is that I was handed off to 3 different people during the process. I later had a problem with the phone but it had nothing to do with the set up and it was readily resolved.

This is the Best Buy at Best Buy, I bought a large screen tv and had the geek squad deliver and install it. They did a fabulous job! No wires showing and they hooked it up to my surround sound and it works and looks great. I HiGHLY recommend purchasing this service!. Plus they cover items that were not bought at Best Buy

I had an appointment and I was seen very quickly. Geek Squad evaluated my issue and due to the age of my phone they recommended replace. They made sure I was seen my a skilled Cell Phone salesperson. The salesperson was very patient and was able to transfer all my data from my old phone to my new phone. If Best Buy has what I'm looking for I will always buy from Best Buy.

I always purchase my new phones at Best Buy so that I can get them set up for me. The person setting up my phone was knowledgeable, efficient and friendly. He was able to transfer everything from my old phone to my new phone. So happy this service is available.

Casey was SO helpful! She's knowledgeable and able to explain what she was doing and how I could use the features on my new phone so I could understand. (I am NOT technically knowledgeable. ) I was VERY impressed by the level of her service.

Follow-through could be better

My in-store experience at the time in buying my iPhone 15Pro (with accessories, data transfer, etc.) was good. But lack of follow-through by staff resulted in my losing out on the Verizon trade-in promo, which was why I was upgrading my phone in the first place. After my spending 3+ hours on the phone with Verizon to try and sort things out, it seems that Best Buy neglected to complete their role in letting Verizon know of my purchase and that there was a trade-in involved. With nothing in Verizon's system about my transaction, I was unable to get the $415 trade-in value credited to my Verizon account. Details folks! Don't forget the details!

I purchased a new MAC. The appointment time for transferring all data was set very quickly. The data transfer was done very promptly and I received a text that I could come back and pick up the mac.

Anthony was the individual that helped set up my husband's new Samsung Z Flip phone from his very old flip phone and was just incredible in transferring all of his contacts, etc. to the new phone. Just had a great knowledge of what had to be done and was so courteous in doing everything that was needed. Couldn't thank him enought.

The agents that helped me went beyond expectations and were so patient and helpful even though I had no clue how to do any of the transfers. They walked me through ever step and took the time to be sure it was all complete before closing shop. I couldn’t have asked for any better service.
