I honestly forget Best Buy is there sometimes, but after my recent experiences, I'll definitely be coming back more often. I had recently decided I wanted to buy a new phone outright instead of financing it through a carrier. I wasn't really interested in going to a traditional phone store because I've always felt like those experiences can be a little overwhelming. I wanted something simple with no pressure. I came to Best Buy right when they opened and ended up buying my new iPhone. Since the AT&T representative wasn't there yet, one of the Best Buy employees stepped in and helped me get everything set up. He activated my AT&T service, answered my questions, and had me in and out in about 30 minutes. The whole process was straightforward, and I never felt like I was being hit with hidden fees or pressured into buying extras. A little later, I came back looking for a new pair of headphones. I had a budget in mind but wasn't sure what to get. One of the employees took the time to talk through a few different options with me, and we actually had a fun conversation about the pros and cons of each pair. I never felt like he was trying to sell me the most expensive option. Instead, he recommended headphones that customers seemed happiest with and that didn't get returned often. I really appreciated that honesty. Overall, every employee I've interacted with has been friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. I also realized Best Buy isn't nearly as expensive as I had built it up to be in my head. They have a lot of great options at different price points, and it's definitely a store I'll be visiting more often now. read more

My HP desktop had an error starting up - "Secure Boot Violation". I couldn't fix it using HP's AI troubleshooting. Made an appointment with Geek Squad to get it fixed. As I was checking in and explaining the problem (and expecting to pay for it and leaving my PC there overnight), a technician overhead my explanation and came out and knew the solution. He plugged in my PC and had the problem fixed within 30 seconds. He said, "An update from HP has caused a problem." No charge. I was out of the store in less than 15 minutes with my fixed PC. The technician could have stayed in the back in his work area, but knew it was a quick fix and he made me one happy customer! read more

I have been a user of the Geek squad plan for a year and just cancelled it. I originally went to the Plano Central Expressway store and had good assistance at first. But after each subsequent visit the knowledge and help continued to decline. They managed to finally screw up everything and I am never setting foot in any BestBuy again unless I want some product that does not require any help or information from their staff or systems. Stay away! read more

we brought in a device to be fixed, "an easy repair" and they destroyed my phone to the point of no use. Jack from the geek squad told us he ordered a replacement device to be overnighted. The device did not show up on time so we had to visit the store and speak with the manager, Tommy Le, who was absolutely zero help. He also revealed the device was in fact not overnighted and would now take a week to ship. These employees are not helpful in the slightest despite the over saturate amount they hire to loiter around the store. DO NOT USE THIS STORE FOR ANY NEEDS EVER !!!!!!!!! read more

I made an appointment for my wife to replace her iPhone battery. The AI voice prompt machine is a joke. It would not allow me to speak with a real person. She arrived before her appointment and waited for 15 minutes, and the salesperson stated that they did not have the battery in stock and that the replacement would take 3-5 days to arrive. I entered the information into the appointment request. Why does the system allow you to set an appointment when there's no product in stock? read more

Do not buy an AT&T device from Best Buy. Multiple issues with the device and service. They changed my plan without consent - the AT&T corporate store couldn't help me. I've had to call and escalate several times over. Spent hours of my time. I should have just bit the bullet and gone to the corporate store, waited my turn, and had a better device upgrade experience. read more

We purchased a $3k TV. Used the store credit card ( no interest)via Citibank. After about 6 months, my husband goes online to pay the monthly bill and notices two $200 gift card charges. We called the 800# the person said that it was fraud. They closed the account sent us another card for new account. By the time we activated it there was another charge and we haven't even activated the card. Called them back. We felt like it was internal for it to happen that fast. About 6 weeks later, we receive a letter in the mail stating. "No it's not fraud and we are responsible." Found out that the gift cards are on our account with "Ready to redeem " we don't want to redeem them, we want them taken off our account because we did not purchase them. Many more calls to Best Buy security division and Citi bank fraud department. Filed a police report. Still have the $600 gift cards on our account now there's interest. We will now shop for electronics at Costco, Sam's and NFM read more

Knowledgeable, patient staff that helped me pick Out and buy a laptop. Only snafu was the recommendation to buy Microsoft office for the Chromebook. Had to call Microsoft support to verify it can't be loaded. On a Chromebook, you have to use the web version of MS. Best Buy Customer Service staff graciously accepted the return for the MS subscription. I also bought an Oura ring and the sales guy was knowledgeable about the product. read more

The following was my experience at Best Buy purchase on 4/5/2025: 1. The store was supposed to open at 10 am. I reached the car park at 9.45 am and waited but the gates were opened at 10.05 am 2. The staff including the store manager lacked courtesy. This word did not exist in their dictionary. 3. I am a handicapped 73 years old man. I requested a motorized chair to browse their gigantic store. The store manager said they don't have it. On inquiring the reason she said "this is optional. We are not mandated to have it". She pointed out to a manual wheelchair that was very shoddy and I was not able to operate it. There were at least four customer service agents observing me scrambling with the wheelchair but none of them offered help. 4. I had no other option and I showed the item that I was looking for on my cell phone and a person brought it and took me to the register. This individual on the register again had no courtesy. He looked extremely tired and kept yawning while serving me. I asked him whether or not he had his morning coffee? "I don't drink coffee" Then you probably did not have enough sleep. No apologies on his behalf. My overall experience was extremely disappointing. I expected that at least store manager will show some courtesy. 4/8/2025 8.36 pm update The BestBuy has not contacted me regarding the above incidence. I would like them to contact me immediately. I am not able to connect with Best Buy via social media. 4/13/2025 update I received the following message from the store manager on 4/10/2025: Mr. Rifat Naghmi I am sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction during your last visit to Best Buy in Allen. I will definitely look into the wheelchair and see if there are other options for us. In regards to your sales person, I will make sure that they are aware of how they were perceived during your visit. Please feel free to reach out if there is anything we can do to gain your business in the future. Eva Idels General Manager | Best Buy #1780 190 E. Stacy Rd Bldg3000| Allen, TX 75002 My response on 4/10/2025 Hi Eva Good evening Thanks for your email. First off, I would like to make sure are you the one whom I was referred to by one of your staff regarding the motorized wheelchair and you told me in a very discourteous way that you are not mandated to have a motorized wheelchair? If I am guessing right, I was greatly offended by your encounter and I noticed that you quickly stepped away from the scene. This is highly disrespectful if this is the kind of courtesy you show to your customers as a manager. I can clearly see how your behavior reflects in your other employees where none of them assisted me when I was not able to operate the manual wheelchair. Additionally, your sales person served me yawning in succession. Honestly, with the language used in your email I don't think Best Buy is genuinely concerned for this event. The language that I see in your email is "I am sorry" instead of "I apologize" and "making aware of how the sales person was perceived" instead of reprimanding him. If you want to make things right, as a courtesy, I would like you to issue me a full credit on the item that I purchased on that day ($234.00). Additionally, I would like you to assure me that moving forward Best Buy would provide better customer service training to ensure that staff are respectful and helpful. Thank you and I'm looking forward to hearing from you. I haven't received any response as of today (4/13/2025). Again, I would like to mention to Best Buy management that I am not a social media person and if you would like to communicate with me my email is the best route that you have on file. Thank you. read more

We have purchased many things from Best Buy and decided to buy a Breville microwave. We had it less than a month and decided it was not cooking thoroughly or heating evenly. We called Best Buy to maybe return it and buy another brand. They said it only had a 15 day warranty. 15 days?????? For an appliance? Who gives a15 day warranty? Maybe a flea market or second hand resale store. We will NEVER shop at Best Buy again. DON'T PURCHASE THERE! What a rip off! Amazon is the best way to go. At least they give a month or so. read more

I purchased an open-box TV that was only available at this location. Its condition was clearly listed as "excellent" as well as guaranteeing all original parts and accessories. Seemed a pretty decent deal with the savings. I picked it up the next morning (I am 30 miles from the store) and unpackaged it when I got home. There was no remote, no stand, no power cord, and no manual. No damage, but still completely unusable and not even close to the description. I called customer support right away. They said come back to the store to pick up the accessories. They specifically said not to return the TV. When I arrived at the store they had no idea what to do. After waiting on the representative walking all the way across the store and back several times, I was informed they did not have any parts. The only option was a return. I was very firm that I would not be bringing the item back at risk of damaging it during repackaging and transport (it was a 65" and not manageable by one person). They scheduled a return and delivery at the same time with a new model that wouldn't arrive for another 5 days, meaning I got to hold on to this massive box with an unusable TV until then. The worst of it all was that the replacement was a new model, and even after all of their screw-ups, they still made me pay the difference of $5 after their "discount" for my troubles. Overall, the staff was not knowledgeable at all about their own inventory or customer service capabilities. I had to suggest every solution as they were so clueless they couldn't come up with their own. Customer service and the stores do not communicate with each other at all, which resulted in me spending an additional hour and 60 miles of driving because I was given false information. I've had enough good experiences with most Best Buys to move past this, but were it not for the fact that I ended up with a brand new TV as a result, I would give 1 star. This store is a joke and I will never utilize this location again. read more

Tommy at the Geek Squad desk was knowledgeable and respectful and was able to fix my internet issues quickly.

I have bought thousands of dollars of items throughout the years. I had 1,000 dollars worth of stereo equipment put in jeep. The radio goes out not even six months ago. zi drive over an hour yo appointment to see why radio is not working. They diagnose and said radio bad. They wont swap out or cover a replacement. I even said I will buy a new one since your customer service sucks and they said we wont have time to put in another radio today. Best Buy is chicken shit and just lost my business will never go there again. John read more

Came in to get education on my first laptop purchase. Thank you Collin you were very very helpful with this. You are why I gave 2 stars. Best Buy is more like Terrible Experience Buy currently. I arrived planning to buy a laptop, extended service warranty, Microsoft home upgrade, and a computer bag. Left with a laptop and a new credit card 2 EXTRA hours later!! They couldn't figure out the code to access the Microsoft Home program (kept me waiting while on phone with Microsoft, to no avail). But managed to charge me for the service. The 10% cash back for signing up for the card is a Lie. You only get a 10% store credit in actuality. Best Buy is now Scam buy in my book. No offense to you Collin. Just your company sucks. Your expertise is being wasted here. read more

Best Buy is slowing dying I swear, they're not very helpful, they closed off the actual check out so you have to go to the customer service desk, even though there's a bunch of employees standing around. Makes no sense to me, they have a great selection of products but nobody seems eager to make a sale if you ask me. read more

I had a disappointing visit to Best Buy when trying to return an item. The employees were not attentive, engaging in their own conversations instead of assisting me. Until I had to ask this gentleman upfront that I needed a return and that's when he ask to his other co-workers that I need to do a return. read more

Bad customer service. No one greeted me, not to mention I couldn't find an associate. It's 11:48 am and there are barely any customers. I came to the store to purchase an iMac computer, but I was unable to find any assistance. I had to leave and drive all the way to Galleria Mall to go to the Apple Store. A waste of time. read more

Best Buy Allen - Very little shoppers. Why no greeting or assistance? - Computers Near Me - Allen, Texas

This Best Buy is okay, but it is very lacking in the camera department. I went there looking at video cameras and DSLR cameras, but there was not much to look at. Usually, Best Buy has several rows of cameras but not this store. It's all phones and cell phone service in the front so you have to wade through all that to get to the other electronics. The entire left side of the store is house appliances which doesn't surprise me, but it looks like they are becoming more of what Sears used to be. Also, there is a very limited selection of DVDs and NO Cd's anymore (that last part I totally understand). Anyway, the whole Best Buy experience is gearing more towards home appliances and gaming supplies. read more

Yelp review 2017 challenge #4 Today was a good day at Best Buy. Usually it's virtually impossible to find any type of assistance regarding buying anything here. I think my luck finding help is related to not browsing the computer/electronic section of the store. We are officially dumping AT&T and moving back to an antenna based service. It's in our price range, FREE! Our bill with the new year came it at 200$ plus! WTH? Price gouging from big companies! I bought an antenna that picks up local channels and then some. An antenna at a one time price of 70$. What a deal! Was so pleased to have an antenna that has the ability to find local channels and broadcast them. The young man that helped me was awesome. I thought any hope of customer service was lost eons ago! I now have restored faith in Best Buy. Well at least for today. They have bins of blu-ray dvds at the check out. No cashiers for check out. Digging through the bins will give you something to do while you wait. I got one thing right so I can't complain. I'm ending service with AT&T. read more

It is the worst Best Buy I have ever been to I purchased a 55 LG TV from here and when I got home I find out there is some scratches on the screen went back a few days after I purchased it I told them about the scratches and they are like oh no we cannot accept The return because there is no damage from outside of the box if you want to contact LG and figure it out. and I was like are you serious I just got it couple days ago from you guys and you're saying I'm a liar ? or I made it myself and they said yes, I spoke With the manager Andrew and he said the same thing without even open the box or took a look at it ... I will call the corporate and make a huge complain for the bad customer service , and the embarrassing they made me in front of everybody and the used , damage TV they sold me. read more

Purchased a Roku TV here. Took it home to set up. The screen was cracked internally, so crack was not visible until we turned it on. Best Buy said I probably broke it despite the TV only being out of the box an hour. They refused to exchange it. I'm writing the TX AG. next. Never ever do business with BEST BUT!! read more

Accidents do happen, it's how we recover from them is what makes a difference. So my iPhone recently fell out of my jacket pocket at the supermarket. The fall was from a height of 2 ft and with a phone case on but still damaged the display. That's how I up at the BB in Allen for a repair appointment with the geek squad. My initial visit was with a geek squad tech who was a bit hesitant to set up the appointment since we are supposed to do it through Apple Support. However, I was informed that Apple cannot make any appointments atm for BB due to the Covid19 conditions. Long story short, got an appointment and had my iPhone screen replaced the very same day within 2 hrs! Couldn't be happier. The service was excellent and I ended up purchasing a new case for my phone. Would recommend this BB any day especially for repairs. read more

This review is about the Geek Squad at this Best Buy Allen Tx location. They are authorized by Apple for repairs. I made an appointment for my iPhone battery replacement detailing specifics about which iPhone. Got to my appointment and was told they didn't have the battery, they would have to send it out and it would take about a week! I'm supposed to be able to have no phone for a week?! I've had numerous prior problems with these Geeks, so it was foolish of me for going back read more

Hello. I had a ~8k purchase with your in home tech Ethan a few months ago and today was the install day. Ethan sold me a 3k amplifier that won't work with my set up. I purposely purchased these products way in advance as I am well aware of the current delay for electronics. The install team was great and they sent me to the Allen branch which is 45 mins away and I pass three Best Buy's. When I got here the gentleman in electronics told be "good luck" and I could try the Frisco location but he can't tell me if they have what I need. Well Frisco is my home store. I asked for a manager and he directed me to the geek squad counter. Geek squad got me with the manager Andrea who actually took some time to listen to my situation and said she would go work on it. This here was enough to at least make me feel like someone cared. Well Andrea found one in garland and they're grabbing it for me!! I love Best Buy. I've done 30k+ business with y'all in the last three to four years. And had it not been for Andrea I was walking out more then defeated, frankly pissed off. Andrea needs recognition, promotion and a major Atta boy. I hope this makes it way up the ladder and she gets the recognition she very well deserves. Update Denny called me back two hours later and had the correct replacement amp in his hand for me!! This is extraordinary because this product is on a nation back order! I can't say enough about these two human assets at the Allen branch. My only wish is that Best Buy would allow you to call a store directly. The call center and phone tree almost lost my future business. Well done Andrea and Denny, we'll done! read more

This is an average Best Buy but without all of the bullshitery you might find at other locations. Parking was a bit of a drag, but that's expected given that we went a few days before Christmas. Inside, we couldn't find the gaming section but within seconds an associate walked us over to it (indeed there was no signage). Their selection was decent and we were even able to try on a few of their gaming headphones before making a purchase since they had a few on display. Checkout was okay. Even though there was a bit of a line, the cashier didn't try to waste my time sales pitching me to join their rewards program or get some extended warranty crap. read more

What can you say about BestBuy that's not already known to most. They have a wide variety of any and everything from computers, televisions, phones, washers -dryers, refrigerators, music, batteries, you name it they have it. This location is always fairly empty, prices compare to its local competitors, staff and customer service is a hit or miss. I recently went in to order an item I was unable to order online since I waned a price match and it's required to go into the store to get this done...well upon ordering the item, they were not able to price match cause the "system" didn't allow them to. So now I have to go back within 14 days to get it done cause maybe the system was just acting up at the moment. The manager was called to help, and when he was told about said issue, he brushed it off, mumbled a few words and just walked off. Hoping they honor the price match! I will say I purchased each TV I own, my washer and dryer and fridge are all from BB 14 yrs ago and they are all working to this day. read more

Wow! Best Buy National should reconsider all staff at this location. I'm calling sales for the past 10 minutes and can't get a single person on the phone. If Best Buy really wants to sell anything - there should be no wait at all !!! You've lost your sale. BTW I was looking for the latest IPhone and a washing machine. And to top it off - we had such a sh**ty experience with a movie theater purchase. It turned into a nightmare (wrong order, wrong delivery dates, wrong system, improper installation- you name it). read more

Horrible experience after spending $8,000.00 on 2 TVs, a refrigerator, and 2 mesh wi-fi systems at this store. Geek squad missed the delivery for the mesh system installation after I blocked off 8 hours to wait on them. I understand things get missed but I wanted some explanation after waiting 2 weeks and skipping work for the day. I expected a softer, professional response from Best Buy who is the one made the mistake. I got the worst customer experience from agent Wheeler who would not explain why the delivery was missed. He was short and disrespectful on the phone. When I asked what happened and why the delivery was missed, he abruptly said, "look, I can either just reschedule the delivery or cancel your order, what do you want me to do?" I asked to be transferred to a manger who could help answer my questions and then he hung up on me. So I'll be returning all of my recent purchases and will be giving another store my money. I would recommend taking your big purchases to another company who values their customers. read more

My experiences at this location have been limited to a few purchases over the last few years, my most recent being a mobile phone, so my review will be based heavily on that. I came in the store during the last week of the year with my eye on a new Droid Turbo that had just gone on sale for $1. There were at least five people in front of me in the phone area, but they provide seating (nice). When it came my turn, I was called by a young and very pleasant CSR who clearly knew how to perform these transactions. I had my phone in hand within 10 minutes (probably closer to 5), and I walked out with it and a receipt for $1.08 (stupid sales tax). On prior visits, I've purchased CDs and some video game accessories, and the process has always went quickly and smoothly. I have had at least once case where the "small store" syndrome affected me and I had to go to another location, but that's rare. Overall, it's a good location based on my experiences. read more
