This review is for the Polaris location. Total Tech/Geek Squad appt 2:40 5/6/24 There are two closer Best Buys to my house... I choose this one whenever I need to have 1) something repaired/serviced/returned. 2) Need assistance in selecting an electronics item. I have had consistent good service here, where the other locations its been hit or miss. We are Total Tech Members, now called "My Best Buy Total" (such a dumb name change) Its their $179 extended warranty that covers everything you buy within a 2 yr purchase date. Sounds pricey.... Well, its benefited us every year without fail it has saved us far more than 179 per year. I highly recommend it and also recommend this location and staff: Today my appt was at 2:40. I get there, one person(DJ) is helping his customer. I stand in queue, DJ interrupts his session and kindly offers for me to sit at the open tech desk while I wait (so I did not need to stand) they must be able to see me via camera as Bryan Cowee comes out seconds later and greets me smiling with welcoming hello. We discuss my issues with my Nintendo Switch. It has 2 days left of its warranty. (Now thats important to the story). It no longer is letting me use the side controllers when used remotely... the which is 1/2 the point of owning a switch. Bryan examines them. He finds out that the console's lock to the controller is also broken. So the console needs to be sent out to be fixed and then after that is fixed it comes back to the ahop and then sent out again to another place for the separate issue of the joystick/controller. This weird shipping issue is a Nintendo issue, not necessarily a Best Buy issue. Knowing Nintendo is a pain in the butt to work with I ask... but when we bought this Total Tech- rep said if anything happens, anything at all, being it in, they exchange it for a new one. Well now enters the two days left on my warranty. Best Buy now will still replace it, but only after sending it out for repair(bunmer for the customer, but a good business decision, it makes sense)... if it cannot be repaired, it then gets replaced (fair). However, I quickly realize that if this sends out for one thing by the time it comes back to be sent out for the other issue, it's then out of warranty. I bring that up. Bryans is busy truing set up the transaction on his laptop and says. "Yeah that could be problematic, but right now my system to set up the repair has crashed." He asks For help, dJ comes over after he is done with his client. He cant get it to work on his. They go to the main terminal. System is still crashed. They literally couldnt get the system to process the repair ticket. Bryan picks up the phone calls Naag, (Im unaware that he is advocating for me... due to the warranty timing and due to their system crashing, Naag the department head goes to advocate for me to Kumar, a manager and in less than a few minutes Naag comes over with a big red box! Nintendo switch boxes are RED. It was a brand new Oleg Switch. Yay! Thank you Bryan, Naag and Mr Store Manager. Since they couldn't get the system to boot up and since there was two days left on my warranty counting that day.... They, without me begging, pleading put their customer first and switched out the switch! The entire session from sitting down to product in hand took maybe ten minutes. Not long at all! I have had other trips in where I have been helped by Bryan. He was very knowledgable in those sessions. Those times went smoothly, too. Ive purchased apple products from Naag a year ago (2 iP, fancy keyboard . His helpfulness on the sales floor has been above and beyond. I actually now search him out when I have a question. I recommend this location. They really try hard to help the customer. Also, I recommend the Geek Squad and the new "My Best Buy Total" despite the really long and dumb name. read more

I really like Best Buy and have purchased a lot from them over the years. Recently I went to Best Buy to purchase 3 Chromebooks. When the salesperson came over and asked if he could help I explained I wanted to buy 3 Chromebooks. He told me that I did not want Chromebooks and I should purchase a PCs instead. When I explained I knew what my needs were, he simply walked away and refused to get the chromebooks I wanted. I also want to purchase a Pixel 4 watch and had to hunt down a clerk to buy one as they were all standing around talking to each other. When I finally got a clerk to help me, he explained the 41MM that I wanted was out of stock - even though the web site said it was in stock. He did not offer to order one and simply told me I had to go to another location to purchased one. I will be buying my Chromebooks and Pixel watch from Amazon. I'd much rather support a local retailer but the attitude of the clerks at the Polaris location is basically "we could care less." I will not waste my time with them - this is 2nd bad experience at Best Buy. As much as I dislike Amazon, I've never had a computer a Amazon tell me what I wanted. read more

Customer service at Best Buy is non existent. Not a single sole at the stores is capable of resolving problems. All phone calls are routed to offshore call centers such as Panama and Honduras. The people who answer the phone barely speak English. The problem is Best Buy corporate. They are deteriorating the company to no more than a discount drive-through. I will never use Best Buy or Geek squad ever again for anything! Buy from Amazon or anywhere else and have it installed by an installer you can trust. TH, Ohio read more

Inside scam going on at Morse Rd Best buy. Get your personal info off there system. Things were ordered and picked up, someone couldn't have done this alone with just hacking a card. This was done local. read more

Avoid this best buy if you can for your peace of mind. Had the absolute worst experience with their crew today esp their supervisor Bryan. I had bought a washer / dryer from them and a few hoses. The crew did not use one of the hose and they would not take it back even for a gift card. They aslo damaged the washer dryer while installing and were not apologetic about it. read more

Absolutely horrible customer service. Asked to speak to the manager and the sales person did not respect my request. Will not be going back to this store. read more

In the fall of 2024, I purchased several Christmas gifts for my family. Without my permission or knowledge, I was signed up for some sort of annual service by the salesperson. I did not ask for it, I did not agree to it. In the fall of 2025 that recurring charge that I did not agree to was put my Best Buy card again. I called to complain and was told there was nothing can be done. I immediately cancelled the Best Buy credit card. However; the credit card company that issued the card is still letting Best Buy charge me. I have written to the credit card company which is Citibank and they too say that there is nothing that can be done. I have told them I will not pay. They should not be allowed to cheat and steal from customers. And now it appears that Citibank is compliant in this scam to steal from customers. The good news is that I am old and don't need to worry about how this will affect my credit score. But for everyone else, be careful, the Best Buy sales team are tricking customers and Citibank is complicit. If you do buy from Best Buy, protect yourself, pay in cash. read more

My fiance found a sleeve for his MacBook for only $20 here. The store is quite vibrant and clean!

Under renovation. Partial services available at the front though you cannot go into the store (8.24.22). It's more like a modified Curbside option with 7 or 8 employees loitering and blocking the entrance in between helping customers. Not sure how long the construction and renovation will take but we were able to return an item with ease. I would call the store +1-614-430-0789 or maybe check online, but when I looked at the website I didn't not see anything about the limited service until we stepped out of the car. There is absolutely no getting inside the doors to browse. read more

Placed an order on september the first to be delivered on the seventh between 13:45 and 16:45 for a fifty five inch tv and a soundbar, The time came and went with no call and no show. Driver finally calls at eight fifteen, says they're picking up the soundbar at the at the store. I told them at that point we need to reschedule. I called and talked to customer service, and they said, I would have to call on Sunday. So I did, then they told me, I'd have to wait 24 to 48 hours for them to process it. Here it is monday at twelve noon and still have not received a call back to schedule the new delivery and they've got my money. That has got to be the dumbest ass procedure, i've ever heard about you never make customer wait. And when you screw up that customer should get top priority to get it fixed. I wouldn't trust best lie if they were in church praying. Unfortunately yelp will not allow up me to give them zero stars when they truly deserve negative numbers. read more

Got a good deal on an 85" Sony Bravia 7 in store purchase right before Black Friday. We were given a delivery date that with no good reason was pushed back nearly a week, the cancelled by a customer service representative without authorization. Tried to call the store for assistance, forget it, Best Buy DOES NOT take incoming calls which is outrageous. All customer service calls go to a call center in India. After driving 45 minutes to our closest Best Buy the 1 of 5 store managers reordered our tv for an even later delivery than originally agreed upon but assured us the customer experience team would call with an offer to compensate us for all the delays, need to drive into the store to speak with someone face 2 face but then they never called which required yet another trip into the store to sort things out. Finally a customer experience rep tried to pull a short change on us offering a store gift card for $150 for our trouble as opposed to the $200 discount on our purchase we were promised earlier by another store manager, this after digging my heels in and insisting on the previously agreed upon amount be issued via check. Finally we were satisfied we got a good tv at a good price with a decent installation crew which we paid for ($200) so installation was basically the compensation we received, which seemed fair. All in all, good deal at a fair price but we had to work for it!! Best Buy, my advice, ditch the overseas call center and let your customers call your store if they have a problem and need help! This is why I rate my experience a 3 and not a 4. read more

This store has got to be one of the worst run store I have ever seen. This store might as well be an online store for pickup because to find a worker to help you is almost impossible without complaining. Such a waste of time. Nobody wants to work anymore and this store 100% shows it. Absolutely ridiculous read more

The bathrooms are total trash! I've lived overseas in third world countries and have not experienced anything as disgusting as the bathroom here at Best Buy! So the toilet paper roll was not attached. It was sitting on top of the trash/ feminine disposal box. There was a teenager smoking weed in there. Also the paper towel disposal was broken off the wall and sitting between the sinks. So if you try to get paper towels out the whole container can potentially fall and possibly injure your foot!. Also one of the toilets was full and absolutely disgusting! Tigris's to take a picture! At least they have the decency to allow enough room for wheelchairs to fit! read more

My factory FOB now activates the car's security system and I have remote start. You get what you pay for. I took it to another BB; the tech came out and actually showed me how everything worked. I will chalk it up to being busy, c for customer service. read more

Purchased a high end refigerator from Best Buy. Their delivery crew, could not complete the installation. I will never buy another appliance from "BEST" buy again. Terrible experience. read more

Asked the associate at the entrance if there was someone who could help me and after 10 seconds he lifts his head and stares at me and says nothing, like I'm bothering him to do his job. Would not recommend this store or if you go there get ready to be treated with disrespect for no reason. read more

Bought Best Buy's total tech coverage for four years in a row that was sold on convenience and ease of service is there is an issue "with all your electronics purchased under the plan". Walked in to utilize service on a Sonos speaker sold in the home by their Tech service. After an hour of trying to find receipts even for the plan, I was able to locate them in my own email because "it was not found in their system". Geek squad sought out manager "Kumar". He did not want to get involved and wouldn't get involved in the situation. They declined to take care of the single speaker and stated although we have consistently paid for total tech, they would not address the speaker issue as it was past the 2-year plan. Be careful on buying plans from Best Buy. They love to make money off them, but also love to find ways to not take care of customer issues and needs. The reviews on this location are accurate. read more

Worst performing Best Buy store ever. Hit it up as it's on my lunch hour as I needed an inexpensive wireless mouse. Stood in line at the computer desk behind two active customers serviced by THREE associates and not one single associate even acknowledged my presence. No greeting. Not anything along the lines of "we'll be with you in a quick minute" nothing to even acknowledge my taking space. After THIRTY MINUTES finally, the gentleman in the black shirt said he was unaware I was waiting in line thinking I was with one of the other two active customers. Unacceptable. I told him I wasn't even ACKNOWLEDGED. He had no excuse. I finally took the liberty to walk away from their active line and one of the young men, approached me asking (Andrew I believe was his name) what I needed. I told him. He walked me over to the options, asked me a few questions and we zeroed in on what was needed. It was THAT simple. I went to the cashier line stood behind THREE people and the young man in the glasses saw me, acknowledged me and said to me, "We'll be with you in just a minute" with a smile. Keep in mind there were two peers of his also working and he had the decency to acknowledge me and that was all it took. Tried going to the Best Buy website to submit a ticket and naturally, you have to call to talk to someone after that experience? No thanks. I'll find the email and submit my thoughts and poor experience. No wonder no one likes traditional brick and mortar stores. I wasn't acknowledged I cannot get past that. This store is awful. I wish I could submit a rating without any stars though it makes sense to include one for that kind cashier. Outside of that forget it. This store sucks. read more

Please do not call Geek Squad. After an initial visit to our home, the salesperson seemed to understand our connectivity issues. Singular TV remote went well. We have installed boosters to support the signal. We have had them out 2x's since the original. My wife spent at least 5 hours talking to tech support all on one call. She wouldn't let them off the hook. We've spent over $1000 and now we can't reach anyone. They oversold their abilities and capacity and I'm stuck with an intermittent WiFi. Best Buy President, do you read these?? Just today a tech came by. And he knew what he was doing. So far we are impressed. Stay tuned. read more

Best Buy is the worst. We bought a Whirlpool Refrigerator in late January, and the sales guy told us we could get a ice maker with it. When the delivery/installation people came, they said it was the wrong ice maker. The appliance staff and supervisor kept telling me that they would get me the appropriate ice maker, and they were mainly placing the blame on Whirlpool. Going on three months, I still don't have the ice maker I was promised. They keep giving me lip service, and praise me for "being so patient", but now I've had it. They either no longer care about my legitimate issue, or they're not very good at their jobs. Either way, I will never shop there again. read more

Worst location ever, employees don't seem to notice people looking for them and just walk right by. And when asked for help they are rude and inconsiderate, there's better locations to go to than this one (or honestly just online shopping ‍). read more

Went in for item exchange. Didn't have mine but had one that was less in quality than my original. Got mine in discount so they wanted me to pay the difference for the other one since mine wasn't in stock. It was a less quality item and they wanted me to pay more for it. Literally stupid. read more

This is the last time I will waste my time and try to physically go inside a store to shop for a particular item. I wanted to check out record players. I visit the Polaris, Columbus Ohio store and all of the record players are in boxes with not one single model out on the floor as a sample to look at. Why don't you have samples of what you are trying to sell out? What is the point of physically going inside a store to look at something? Then they had almost nothing in stock. I asked a salesperson- " Do any of the other Best Buy stores have this in stock? He seemed annoyed to look it up and was cheerful to tell us none were in stock. I will purposely buy this record player off Ebay rather than spend one dime ever again in a Best Buy. Time waster. read more

I'm in dire need of a new computer. I called to ask if they have what I want and they put me on hold with an estimated wait time of 6 minutes; After thirty two minutes they answered then hung up. I repeated this process and got the same outcome. I am currently trying for the third time after being on hold for over an hour for a question that could be answered with a yes or no. read more

I'm a fan off Best Buy, who isn't? They have all the games, gadgets and electronics your little heart could desire. So my husband and I came in here tonight to try to find something similar to the fit bit without the green light the fit bit has to keep track of our activity and heart rate. This was quite the difficult ordeal as the salesman and I had to convince my husband that sometimes you just have to deal with these "green lights" he really wanted something to just track his heart rate at night. We stumbled upon the Microsoft Band 2, it still had the green light that my husband doesn't like, but the salesman and I sold my husband by telling him well you can just dim that light and you won't see it as much at night. It took 2 walks around the store to convince my husband to finally buy this product. My sales technique worked along with the guy's at Best Buy! Thank you dude for helping us! We'll see how he likes the product we are testing it tonight to see how accurate it is for him. I'm just a tad bit jealous because this is a sweet product, it not only tracks the heart rate but can get cell phone texts, messages, track workouts and more. I may or may not be here soon to be replacing my fit bit charge for this. read more

Spent $4,000+ using their in-home-advisor (IHA) service. This was a trial use of that program which they failed/under-delivered fantastically. Had them set up our network/Wi-Fi with multiple access points, a 24switch and a boost. Network drops constantly, disconnecting from the APs. Geek Squad left the cat5e RJ45 plugs even though cat6 wire was run through the house (new build), slowing performance but they did not relay this to me of course. They also refused to terminate the pre wire for poor reasons. Per their usual, sales pitch on no commission, yet up selling on every aspect. Hidden fees and charges, poor transparency and communication on charges. Promised 10% discount for this degree of service not followed through = no discount for spending $4k. I physically went back to the store and neither Grant the IHA at Polaris nor the store manager would speak with me. All I wanted was an explanation of what the charges meant, what they were for, would not give me the time of day. Our IHA, Jason Sigritz, responded via email with a poor excuse for an explanation. Still no explanation about individual charges. Poor/one sided excuses for why they did what they did. No sincere apology for poor execution and poor communication. What I got from his response, "not my fault, deal with it". The next step was $15k+ in audio/visual. Apparently not enough to provide good service. Do not go to these people. If they have a cheaper deal on a product, that's fine, but for anything more involved, they are charlatans. read more

This is my go to Bestbuy. I can choose between Easton, Hillard, and Polaris. The customer pick up works best at this store.

This is the worst car upgrades installation i have ever experienced!!! I purchase a remote start + alarm system + head units and all speakers for my car they told me everything is gonna work right and look right ....but the truth is they just throw all the stuff in here's why..... 1st my head unit seat back about an inch so all the buttons is hard to get to , so i call them and ask them to move the head unit out a bit so I can get to the botton and they told me they will reinstall it and make it right so I made the appointment took about 3 weeks so the day of apointmet I bring my car in for high hope.... unfortunately after 10 min in the garage they told me they can't fix it that's the way it is !!!! So I ask them kenwood design the screen to set back an inch ? Also there's a hdmi port in the back of unit so I ask them to run the line out and they told me there isn't one ....there only 1 use port for apple car play ,Android auto and use as hdmi port ..... very unprofessional install!! 2nd my remote start + alarm system they didn't turn my original alarm off so I ask them if they can turn off the original alarm off and they told me to do it my self is in the owners menu I feel that's a very unresponsible service 3rd when I call geek squad for help they told me to go back to the same store to get it reinstall ....there's nothing geek squad support can help.....so what is the support for? Very bad custom service Here's my advice if you want professional install don't use geek squad or buy over price products from best buy !!! all they know is charge for professional installations and give you unprofessional install ....very disappointed read more

If I could give ZERO stars, I would. Absolutely the most frustrating and unbelievable appliance delivery company that we have ever worked with. Dates scheduled and cancelled DAY of, new appliance delivery in NON-working condition, another new appliance that was scheduled for delivery rescheduled - apparently everyone is a manager as they just pass you from person to person, however no one can rectify the situation and "no authority" to do a thing. So D.O.N.E. with this company. Good luck if you use them! Have the Excedrin Migraine close by! read more

This place has the WORST overall customer service. I don't mean the hourly store associates who answer questions in the store. I'm talking about the feces-level management of this store. They NEVER answer the phone, they are IMPOSSIBLE to deal with if you have a return and, they generally have absolutely NO concept of the customer is always right. These "managers" are in desperate need of real management & customer service skills training. I DREAD having to enter this store but I have no choice because they are the only store around! Believe me, if I had an alternative choice, I would NEVER spend my money there! read more

Horrible beyond words. In May my husband and I made an exceptionally large purchase of kitchen appliances. Even after having Best Buy come out and measure to ensure the appliances would work, upon delivery several of the appliances would very clearly not fit and thus needed to be returned. From that point on it has been a nightmare. We are now nearly three months after the fact and we still have not had all of our money returned to us. We've made MULTIPLE trips to the store, and spoken with multiple departments over a 5 hour phone call with no resolution. We will never, ever shop at this store again. Big Sandy will now have our purchases. Period. read more

This store is closed. Until September. You can't go inside. So when you see an item on their website that says display model or in stock you can buy it but you can't find in and look at it. At $5 a gallon for gas they should have a notification on their website. read more

I bought an Apple Watch leather band a year ago to the day. Late yesterday it broke. I purchased it 8/21/2019, it broke 8/21/2020. 1 year warranty. I got the the store today, where customer service said it is out of warranty. I said to the clerk you were not open last night, at which time he said they were open to 7. A completely stupid thing to say to a customer. I purchased it 8/21/2019 @ 11:32 a.m.. I called Best Buy at 10:00 a.m. and was on hold for 30 minutes, so I hung up. 1 year from 8/21/2019 @ 11:32 a.m. is 8/22/2020 anytime before 11:32 a.m. I went to the store explaining the problem but the clerk didn't understand that. Regardless his manager said you are out of warranty for a $40 overpriced watch band. Sad. read more
