DO NOT deal with this merchant…read more I wish yelp update their ranking, don't be deceived by the overall rating 4+, 9 out of the most recent reviews since 2025 are 1 star!!! What happens to me is still unresolved, reading past reviews, my only resort is perhaps through police 1. I sent my chromebook for screen repair 2 weeks ago, the ower responded with a promise to repair in one hour with $160 estimate 2. Upon receiving the chromebook, he changed to color is different so new estimate is $240 and need to wait for the part, new estimate 1 week. Ok, I thought fine, that happens 3. From then on, things got out of control, no ready after 1 week. Ok, I will give another few days. 4. Now he is not responding to anything, no reply to yelp message, no response in phone calls (voice mail full) I will update my result, and I wish other people can re-sort yelp reviews in chronological order

I haven't been back here in a very long time, and it slightly looks different inside. This is one of the nicer Stores, it's Two Stories. I went to pick-up my new Sony - WH-CH520 Noise Canceling Wireless Headphone - Black, I checked Inventory, it was the last one in Stock and in the Case here, so I had to get it. I'm glad that I got it.

I feel vindicated to see this place close…read more I wanted to buy a Macbook once and I tried to use my Best Buy gift cards. They flat out rejected my gift cards. No reason, just wouldn't let me use them. Then this short Asian guy comes over and was condescending. Just had a "here we go with another troubled customer" attitude. I just wanted to figure out why they weren't accepting the gift cards and I felt like he was just trying to show off to his other co-worker how to handle difficult customers. I presume one of the workers thought these Best Buy gift cards were illegitimate, but I don't know. Went home and ordered online with the gift cards. Worked fine. Passionately hated this place and glad they closed.

The different employees at work here were all incredibly helpful in assisting my son on building his computer, they pretty nerdy, but all in the good way! Lol a lot of items were behind the lock cabinets, but there was an employee behind the counter that could quickly come unlock everything. They had their own private parking lot in the back and prices were basically the same as online my son said, unless you were buying us somewhat used item from a private vendor. So yes, I will come here again to tag along with my son since I do not know how to make my own computer, but he does. He loves this place!!

It turns out they're an electronics warehouse that are liquidators for Amazon, Walmart, etc. They sell tons of hardware that are new / used / refurb at amazing prices. Tai showed me around the warehouse which he said is generally closed to the public (and they do have public openings occasionally), which was just full of name-brand electronics (Apple, Logitech, etc), and a lot of their stuff can be up to 75% off. I was directed to a pallet of the items to pick out whatever I felt looked "best". He offered to open the item in front of me so I can inspect the contents (it looked open box but it was actually completely new!) and mentioned that there is a 30 day return policy if I should have any issues. I really encourage you to come by when they do have openings as I saw some awesome stuff like laptops, iPads, graphics cards, fully built computers, etc for sale.

One less sale to a brick and mortar store. One less interaction with a human who can answer a question IRL and IRT. One missed opportunity to see and touch product for yourself. Sure you might get a sour reply. Or an agent who doesn't know a picofarad from a PC board. You might also get damaged deliveries from Amazon. Sure the return process is relatively painless, but the time spent is less productive than hammering out whatever issue it is with the store. I bought two Arduino kits from Amazon. One was damaged and couldn't be used so I searched for replacements and looked at Jameco. Their site yielded pages of replacements and alternatives. Between the selection and the descriptions, I was able to what I was looking for a a few things I didn't know I needed. Kind of like browsing at Fry's. Yes, they have minimum quantity purchases for many items. Yes, your browsing is going to be mostly online. When I went to pick up my items, the display area was basically the lobby. The person at the desk could answer some questions and "a guy in the back" could provide more detail. This is what it takes to maintain a physical retail presence for many specialty shops these days. I learned of Anchor from someone else, and I'll visit that store one day. But it's twice as far from me as Jameco, and Jameco delivered what I needed.
