I enjoy shopping here as the store is a lot easier to get to then the Mooresville one, has a nice layout. The appointment process was easy to work with as I was able to get what I needed read more

refuse to honor price match. Ended up just buying from Walmart. same product number and everything.

I ordered two monitors for my sons new computers four days ago. The app said they would be here today (Sunday). The app never updated and no one at Best Buy would answer the phone. So, we loaded up and drove all the way down there just to find out, "I don't know why they would tell you Sunday. We don't get trucks on Sundays". So, tomorrow we get to drive all the way back and maybe they'll be there. Why does it take four or five days to get something from 40 miles away? If someone would just answer the phone, I would have been saved a trip and I wouldn't be ticked off. read more

This store will not sell Pokemon cards to the general public. The employees purchase everything that comes in before the store opens. Management is aware of this and turns a blind eye to it. They will lie straight to your face about it. One of the worst Best Buys I have ever been to. read more

Absolutely flabbergasted at the service I received today. I preorderd The new Mac book in the store on March 8. I went today to pick it up and was told that the preorder was cancelled. I asked why it was cancelled and they were highly rude in responding that they didn't know and would not help me. I will NEVER purchase from this store again and advise no one else should either. read more

Try to get a price on putting a battery in a I phone 14 max. Talked to FOUR (4) people and still don't know the price. I woundn't give them a one but there is no zero. read more

One of the nicest Best Buy locations I've been to. Asked an associate where to find a usbc dock for the computer, she typed it in the phone, and there was a green light that lit up on the shelf exactly where it was. This must have been one pricey renovation. read more

Best Buy - Hickory - Computers Near Me - Hickory, North Carolina

Went by this morning to purchase a computer. I waited for help and this young boy came over to help someone else. After he was finished I asked a question about the computer I wanted. It pained the boy to even stop walking, he started to walk off and I asked if the computer was in stock. He said, while walking away that it probably wasn't. I said don't bother checking. I'll just order one from Amazon. I really wanted to support a local store. read more

I purchased a samsung 55 inch TV, back around Thanksgiving 2024. I was told they would price match any other stores price until Jan. 14, 2025. I found the same TV at Sams Club for $82.00 less on Dec. 21, 2024. I showed the Best Buy store Manager the price on my phone. The store Manager being the Stupid Son Of A Bitch that he was, would not match the price. I returned the TV to the store and will never buy anything from that store again. Also, the delivery people were just as Fucking Stupid as the store manager. They tried removing my old 39 inch TV though a 36 inch door and tore up my floor and door way in doing so. Please, Save your money and shop else where !!! read more

I typically avoid Best Buy in Hickory, but my experience today was GREAT! I knowingly purchased a used item that was listed in Very Good condition. When I got it home it was totally NOT usable. So, back in the box, back to Best Buy. I was preparing myself to be a little nasty if needed to get my money back. Victoria not only did NOT give me a hassle to return the item, but she also looked on her computer and offered to have a NEW item shipped direct to my home for no additional charge. I was so surprised it took me a few seconds to accept her offer. Totally because of her I actually went back home and ordered more merchandise from Best Buy to be shipped to my home. Thank you, Victoria, for delighting this customer! read more

Every time I go to Best Buy. I know exactly what I'm looking for as a content creator. Whether I need a new camera, lens, tripod, gimbal, mic. This Best Buy has nothing I'm looking for every time I go. The camera selection is awful, no quality tripods, no camera lenses. They don't even restock any good quality earbuds. Shelves are always empty! I recommend every Best Buy, that is not in Hickory NC. If I could give no stars, I would. I might even promote this review! read more

The associates that "helped" me today were condescending and rude. I tried repeatedly to call the store and speak with a manager but could not get an answer on the phone. I was shocked by how rude the team members were to me, the young man especially. I'm a low tech person that just needed a charging cord. The team member was texting on his phone the entire time and repeatedly spoke down to me and became impatient as well. I guess it must be the Best Buy culture to act that way towards customers. I plan to go directly to the really nice people at the Apple store in the future even though it's a drive. I think one star is actually being generous, I do understand that it is very difficult to get employees these days and being rude isn't the worst thing someone can do but it does contribute to the overall vibe of the Hickory Best Buy. read more

First time at the Hickory Best Buy. Very impressed. Sales Person was helpful and knowledgeable on the products in his area. He did a good job upselling but I am very pleased with my the item I bought. Good value, friendly service and will be back read more

If I wish there was a zero star option, because if I could select that one I would. The customer service here is awful , and I was overcharged for a replacement watchband, the sign said it was $3.99 on sale and it rang up $7.99 and I told the "cashier" who obviously doesn't care about customer satisfaction, just stated it was $7.99 and didn't do anything to verify whether the computer or I was correct. I also asked for help regarding the product, asking if it would fit the watch I brought in with me. Since I live across town. And they stated they did not know anything about the watch brand. If you work at Best Buy, you should know at least a basic level of information about technology items since that's ALL they sell. The watch band I purchased did not fit my watch, so I have to return item and this is very frustrating. This will be the last time I give Best Buy my money ever due to this frustrating experience here. I will go online or to a different retailer for further technology purchases. read more

If I could give this location a zero star rating I could. We waited for 15 mins to buy two sets of headphones and had to hunt down employees and non of them could help us. Management needs to seriously work on customer service. Also the employee for apple walked past us three time and didn't acknowledge us. I finally got him to stop to ask him a question and had to repeat it three times till he would take his headphones out only for me to repeat myself again! Never ever shopping here again. read more

Very poor customer service. We just moved here and twice we've gone into Best Buy and neither time did the "GREETER" even look at us when we walked in. No one on the floor in their areas. The ONLY reason I gave two stars was because of Justin; the only employee in the store (after walking a mile to even find someone) that asked me if I needed help and made our washer & dryer purchase quick and easy. I will travel to another Best Buy before I ever step foot back in this one. read more

How do you spell incompetence? B-E-S-T B-U-Y I have been waiting over two months for the installation of an oven. I've had four phone calls and three visits to the store and still they're telling me it's going to take two weeks. In World War II the allies landed at the beaches of Normandy and went on to liberate Paris in just under three months.They had very complicated logistics without the aid of our modern technology. Why can't Best Buy install an oven read more

Don't waste your time at this location the help is clueless and you will just waste your time

Came to the store for an iPhone charger and noticed that sanitation policies were off the charts amazing. Thank you for caring!

If I could give zero stars I would. Went in looking to spend possibly up to $300 for a universal remote. I walked into the department and noticed about 4-5 Best Buy employees standing around talking. After standing in front of the universal remotes for about 15 minutes and trying to make up my mind I thought to myself maybe....just maybe someone would approach me to ask if I needed help. Haha. No such luck. I left the department noticing the same "bunch" still standing there and "B.Sing". And we winder why so many brick and mortar have stores have gone by the wayside to the era of the internet. This ladies and gentleman, is one of the big reasons! Now, with all this said, I was in a Best Buy close to my house last weekend (Matthews,NC) and I was approached multiple times asking if I needed help. I thought to myself that Best Buy was turning a corner and getting more customer service focussed. I assume like any retailer, it's all about leadership and expectations. "Somes got it....somes don't" read more

Store rolls all calls to overseas call center. I needed to ask someone at the actual store about the condition of an open box item that I found online but I wound up talking to Rashish. I called several times and the same thing happened every time. "Good Buy" read more

Good Lord!!! Now that I've gotten that out of the way. No one said Hi. No one even looked at me. No one helped me. I needed to get a wifi extender to go with the hard wire/copper wire system I currently have. I looked at items for about ten minutes. Walked up and down a few aisles. No one to help or offer to help. Everyone (three people) was working registers up front. Do I really have to wait in line to ask a cashier to help or send help? That doesn't make any sense. Customer service at the big box has died. read more

Some of these other reviews are HILARIOUS! Thanks fellow Yelpers... I needed that good laugh! My own experiences have not been to that extreme. This location has had friendly and helpful enough service, and fair selections (less than larger locations). I'm grateful to have the ability to "shop local," sometimes, but I go in, with the bar set a little lower. Looking forward to more Yelper entertainment, with other reviewers thoughts! read more

They're always rude to the customers. I returned an item and they gave me an attitude and was not friendly. Recently went and asked a question and the man in the front gave us an attitude because we asked a question about the online pre orders. They always have bad service. The Best Buy in hickory always sucks. Nothing is ever in stock and workers just stand around and do nothing. Must be nice to get paid to do nothing all day and give bad service. read more

I bought a vaccum cleaner and it does not work. They are sending back to manufacturer for full refund but I only get an in store credit. Can you say scam? read more

I love best buy. At this location both Mac and PC products are featured. Most of the staff are very friendly and glad to help us. My favorite part of visiting this store is the selection of computers and accessories. Least favorite is how busy it is but when you have great prices and products, you're going to be busy. read more

First time I've ever been to this Best Buy and it was a pleasant experience. I came to get an adapter for the car for my phone. When entering the store, the associates were all busy helping customers, so I browsed around, looking at gaming computer accessories and the Apple watches (I've been wanting upgrade them forever now). When one associate was available they approached me and helped me with my questions in finding the item I needed and then answering any others I had ready during my browsing. Great item and a quick, friendly checkout. read more

I told an employee I would like to purchase an Apple Watch, after telling them which color and model I wanted they walked away and totally ignored me . They lost a sale today and I purchased one elsewhere read more

They don't deserve the one star. The lady working the so called "Customer Service"desk is anything BUT helpful. Snotty attitude and suggested if we had a problem we should look for answers on line. Guess she was there for looks (still out of her skill set) Went to Sam's purchased. the devices in 5 min and the representative actually smiled!! read more

I came here today & got some earbuds & a phone case they had what I was looking for & they always nice & ask us for help if we need it & was checking out the new iphone8 which I'm thinking of getting her really soon and a camera that I'm eyeing bcuz i think it's a really good one with a great deal and cheap price as well read more

Just bought a TV and soundbar "bundle". Justin was very knowledgeable and helpful. Easy, breezy buy. Free delivery too.

What ever happened to customer service. This Best Buy has officially went to one star. Needed help no one really wants to help at all. You just lost a customer that more than has spent thousands of dollars over the past few years. Anyone that knows me "knows" when I am unsatisfied you get three strikes. Well tonight this store just got two in a row. One more chance and you are dead to me!!!! " in the words of Mr. Wonderful. read more

I purchased a Laptop from Bestbuy. A week after I purchased it the screen cracked in the top left corner. I took it back to the store in Hickory, NC. I was told buy the manager that the Geek Squad said that the crack was caused by picking it up incorrectly. She said they do not take back broken merchandise. I explained that the product should be able to handle being picked up on any corner with out breaking. She said they would be happy to fix it for $85 plus the cost of repairs. I walked out. read more

Solid, midlevel store. Good ADA access, decent selection for the non-metro area. Very helpful staff. (Cory, in phones). Seamless interface with replacement phone. read more

Went to buy a new surround sound receiver with HDMI audio output, since my tvs optical plug had been destroyed. Most techs not familiar with this technology, but the techs at this Best Buy were very knowledgeable. I wanted to purchase the cheapest model receiver available just to get sound again. While making the purchase associate said they had last years best Sony available for &20 more than my purchase, a $420 savings. I'm glade I did receiver has the most user friendly interface ever. read more

We had a good experience at Best Buy. We did a lot of research online before going to the store to make our purchases. once there, we found a real expert associate named Ricky. He knew his stuff! He was able to make understandable what might be difficult for some Seniors like us to understand. And he made our purchasing experience easy. read more

Use to think it was a good store, not anymore. My computer was not burning or reading discs. so my wife had the Geek Squad on the phone twice, couldn't fine the problem. So I take the computer to the store to have it checked out, can't fine the problem. So we pay them $106.00 to download my information. So I decide to buy a brand new computer and keyboard. I want them to download my info and the Geek Guy says it will be another $100.00. They have checked it out over the phone and I have taken it to the store with no results and I'm buying a new $700.00 computer and they want to charge me another $100.00 to download something I've already paid for. The Managers name Is Ron @ the Hickory Store. No CUSTOMER SERVICE and NO RESPECT FOR RETURNING CUSTOMERS. So I told Ron he Could Shove It UP HIS ****** ASS and I would Cancel my order and also my Best Buy Credit Card. SO Best Buy lost a GOOD CUSTOMER FOR $100.00. They WILL NEVER GET ANOTHER PENNY FROM ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

went by tonight to buy a radio for a work van. found the radio on a top shelf and nobody in the car audio dept so I rolled the ladder over and got it. waited several minutes for a sales person to get the price and showed him where I got it and he said don't ever do that again!! ha so I helped myself so I could get on with my 1 hour commute home and the radio I got wasn't even on display. so he got the price and I bought it. the car audio dept is a dump. displays suck with little or no pricing. and sales associates, well you try finding one. read more

Just was in store to drop off I Pad and was unable to do that. Could not do anything without appointment. This iPad was damaged by my handicapped grandson. I am already in system because I have bought a number of things. I felt staff person was not very warm. He suggested I stay around for a hour and half. I live 30 minutes away so could not stay. My other concern that I tried to call and maybe talk with manager. I tried several different ways and could not get a live person. I probably will not buy anything from Best Buy and will cancel my credit card with them. read more
