I drove past this Best Buy a few times, then. dropped by, initially just to use the bathroom actually, funnily enough -- they are one of the stores that have one, a rarity nowadays, sadly, but I digress. And then I thought -- why don't I shop here? They seem like they care about their customers. I used to drive to the Apple Store down in ABQ for all my Apple needs but I decided to check things out here and -- I got new Airpods Pro Max -- was cheaper than anywhere else, still wear them, that was maybe 6 months ago. Then I got an iPad for my mom, also got me a great price -- they do price matching too so I got a great price on it. I got the Best Buy Plus membership and card and that saved me a bunch of money as they have cheaper rates for members and cash back so I think I already paid for the price of the membership like 12 years ahead. Then I was looking for a Macbook Pro -- an important purchase -- and Nick helped and was so gracious and helpful in helping me find exactly what I needed at a terrific price. It was the perfect machine and I really appreciated how much time and attention was given to me. Then I also got myself a pair of the new Airpods Pro 4 -- it was also really great because first I thought I didn't need the noise cancellation -- but then after buying I realized that the Airpods with no noise cancellation didn't have Transparency Mode either. And while I rarely use Noise Cancelation, I very much need Transparency! Went and exchanged it the next day -- no problem at all. And also as a Plus Member I get 60 days of returns so it feels good that I can try stuff out and return if it doesn't work out. Every employee I encounter was very helpful and kind. So, yeah I'm customer for life -- it feels good to be able to try things out and deal with pleasant and trustworthy people who are trying to help you -- I bought 4 things here -- and every one of them was an unimaginably good deal that I can't imagine getting anywhere else. And I guess it's in the name -- Best Buy so it all connects. I've had my eye on a new washing machine/dryer next, I know where I'll coming for that. And when my veteran 8 year old TCL TV dies -- which it will probably never do! =) But, yeah, I had a great experience here and with getting great authentic advice, quality products, easy returns, and GREAT prices -- this can't be beat. Plus it's really nice to deal with someone local. read more

I was shocked to find sales associates. It was outstanding. I was approached a half a dozen times with offers of help. The eletronic selection is still pretty empty. I would take into consideration tariffs and import confusion though. read more

When I asked for a military discount (some locations honor it)- employee made a disrespectful comment about why I was asking. Not one to write reviews, technically don't even ask all the time about the military discounts. But I have a hard time when someone openly disrespects "why" there should be a military discount. Keep your politics to yourself BestBuy. Very disappointing experience overall read more

Your geek squad communication stinks.... They want to sell you everything. But when it comes to customer service communication stinks ....

Stopped in to get mom a new chromebook during their 4th of July sale as she has not used a laptop in years and I wanted to get her something a little more compact, yet bigger than her current tablets. Selection of notebooks/chromebooks was good; however, we settled on an HP laptop for a mere 10.00 more! The display unit was a little annoying in the sense of the alarm going off each time you picked it up (I get it with today's looters and thieves). Employees were very efficient, helpful, and friendly, and was able to get in and out with ease on a Friday afternoon. read more

I went in to buy a landline for my parents. The selection they had was pretty limited. True, hardly anybody but the older generation uses them anymore but selling them in Santa Fe seems like it be a no brainer as the older set abounds here. Their return process was pretty easy when I had to bring something back however and the parking lot is pretty good.. read more

Five (5) employees in the store on Cerillos while I was there on 6/27 did absolutely nothing except look at their phones, chat and stand around. There were several customers in the store at the same time, and those employees did not once look up from their personal conversations to help a single customer including me. I got directed to the products I wanted with some help from the person at the front door and honestly, after looking at that group of employees, I decided that I was capable of reading descriptions on boxes on my own and not "disturbing" them. read more

Worst support ever. I waited forever on the phone to be disconnected and not called back. Never again

Regrettably having to rate this place, company and experience as plain horrible. I purchased several weeks ago appliances in the amount of over 10 thousand dollars to be delivered on a specific date. The date needed to be changed by Best Buy for some reason. Having to follow up via their text messaging system and email is to say the least is a nightmare. Trying to call and speak to someone is impossible with their automaton monster. Still trying to reach a manager to no avail. I will be cancelling my 'My Best Buy Total Member'. read more

great customer service. SHAY at the store gave me great advice and helped me get the right TV. Great product knowledge read more

Absolutely horrible staff and store. I have been talked out of making 2 major purchases by their stupid staff. Once I went in with my Mac Book Pro and asked if I could plug it into either a TV or a computer monitor. They flat out refused. I just wanted to see the quality that I would get prior to purchasing. They wouldn't budge.... Said I had to buy something and if I didn't like it then I could return it. They talked me out of buying an Iphone because they couldn't answer a few basic questions... Went in to buy a power adapter for my M1 Mac Book Pro.... They sold me the older version....Went on a trip with no way to charge my computer.... I specifically showed them my computer and they still sold me the wrong plug....Grrrr.. Really a crappy ass store!!! read more

Appliance delivery cancelled due to multiple excuses. Rescheduled 10 days out because they have other customers already scheduled. They have no preparation for worker no-shows, truck breakdowns and emergency deliveries. I will not buy from them again. I am 80 years old and now have to buy ice every day to keep food from spoiling while awaiting 10 MORE days after a week already. All I get is "sorry." read more

My wife and I are shopping for a new TV and I thought, why not try a local Santa Fe store instead of shopping on Amazon. I drove over to Best Buy and the store was not crowded at all, which is normally a good thing when trying to be waited on. NOT SO AT BEST BUY. I was at the back of the store and didn't really see any employees. There was literally no one in the vast TV shopping area t the back. I started to walk to the front to ask for help when an older blonde woman in a mask came walking towards me down the aisle. I said "excuse me, could I get someone to help me in the TV department"? She didn't even slow down but said "Go to the front and stand in line with everyone else". There was literally maybe one other customer in the store. I said "Are you that short handed that you can't stop", she just kept walking. I told her this is the reason that people shop at Amazon. She replied as she walked into the employee only section "Shop at Amazon, I don't care". I will NEVER step foot in another Best Buy store. Customer service in general has not really ever recovered after Covid, but come on, this is incredibly ridiculous. AVOID THIS STORE, and if you see a short blonde woman storming buy with a mask on... steer clear of her. read more

I am always able to get what I need from Best Buy. The employees have been friendly but not as helpful as in the past. I know COVID has changed the shopping game at all US stores and Best Buy has suffered greatly. I hope things level out soon as I would hate to lose this store. read more

Avoid buying appliances if you can, Best Buy will not value your time. after months of dealing with rescheduling deliveries and only 1/4 appliances delivered, with some deliveries rescheduled the day of the delivery, i e already wasted a good few vacation days. for those curious, I ended up breaking down and actively searching for what was causing the delays. After getting bounced around from agent to agent basically telling me nobody knows or can know, because it's all in thier system, I finally was able to talk to an agent who told me what was going on. Basically, every delivery date given by Best Buy is tentative. nothing is confirmed untill the tech confirms the delivery on the route. This can happen a week in advance, a day in advance, or as I found out from personal experience even after the delivery is a no show. Nothing is confirmed. The sad thing too is that they one appliance they have been able to deliver was shoddily installed as well and required me to go back and fix their work a bit. All in all a nightmare to order from. The sales people in the store are nice and the products seem decent, just do t get anything requiring delivery read more

I went into the Best Buy on Zafarano with the intention of purchasing a television that was over $1,000. After walking around the TV's for 15 minutes without seeing ONE SINGLE SALESMAN, I went to the employee at the phone department desk who was, of course, texting on her telephone. I kindly asked her if I could get someone to help me buy a TV. Then I waited another 15 minutes without seeing any salesmen or customers in the TV section. So I went back up to the salesclerk and said that I was still waiting and the nobody has come. She then gave me a snotty remark about she already called someone. I then waited another 10 minutes then gave up and told her as I was leaving that I was trying to purchase a TV but nobody helped me so I was leaving. Her response was "OK BYE". The two people standing at the podium by the front door didn't care either when said I was trying to purshase a TV and nobody helped me so I was leaving and they lost a $1,000 sale. The entire store was empty at 11:30 am on a Thursday. Apparently, Best Buy doesn't need to sell anything anymore! This is the worst store for any sort of customer service. I have never left a review before but my experience was so bad I'm taking the time to write this one, Don't go to Best Buy if you have any other option, read more

I was visiting my family from out of state and I went with my dad to take a divorce that needed a factory reset.. The Worker that was posted by the door was very rude and kept implying that we needed to pay for that service as if we didn't know that already and he was very rude evidentially because I have an accent he treated us very unwelcoming. He was very racist. I am extremely upset that he would treat us in that way.. I am an American Soldier and my dad is a business owner. They have the worst customer service. read more

Does another 0 star review really matter?? Well I went in this afternoon about a half hour ago and walked around looking for help, asked 3 employees to get me some help 2 different times and no one ever came. On the cameras you will see me walking all over the store while I imagine you can see several employees not bothering to ask me if I needed help but rather just talking to other employees. When I walked out I looked to the register people I had asked earlier to get me help and said, " bye, I'm leaving because nobody seems to be able to help me." The girl at the register broke away from her conversation with the other employee to respond back to me with a look like I don't care saying, "bye, sorry". Best Buy, you should be ashamed of your employees and the service you are providing. I came in to spend $1500.00 on a washer dryer. I needed 10 min of an employees time to push buttons on the computer and get it all set up but not one person could be bothered. I'm done with you and hope this will lead others away from this and other big box stores and send them back to local retailers. Incase you would like to know who is getting your business and my $1500.00, We are going with appliances 4 less in Albuquerque because they have astoundingly better reviews and are able to actually provide a service. My advice to others is don't waste your time here! read more

Went in to shop for a couple of TVs and a Computer Printer. Basie in TV and Bru in Computer Depts were first rate! Good, prompt service, technically sound and good advice. When it is time to buy we will definitely return! read more

Worst customer service with no staff available to help customers. Rude cashiers with absolutely no manners or sense of urgency to help. I couldn't find an item I was looking for and walked around the whole store twice and couldn't find anyone to help. I walked up to the cashiers who had no one in their line. I asked for assistance and they looked at me with no expression got in their earpiece and pointed to the area I needed help in. No greeting, no welcome and rude service. This place is ridiculous. read more

Well, after looking around in the refrigerators for about 15 minutes, no one came over to ask us if we needed help, so I went to the guy at the front and he said he's send someone over. A gentlemen came down our aisle, but honestly, maybe he was just passing through because he kept moving through the aisle as I greeted him...but I was talking at the same time about what we were looking for..as he passed me he turned around for a sec to hear me out. He didn't stop and listen very well though and he suggested a fridge that was wrong. When I explained to him he again he said to go online to find what I was looking for. It was great advice! I know I'm going to love my new refrigerator from HOME DEPOT!!!! read more

They have a sign-in system for Geek Squad and they don't use it. I've come twice to try and pick up my computer. One time I was there for 20 minutes with no acknowledgement, so I left. and currently I'm here waiting and watching people walk up and get help while people with appointments have been waiting for more than a half hour. I get that people are understaffed but then take fewer appointments so that the staff can keep up. read more

It was a terrible experience. The front desk employee refused to show me where the items I needed were. Only Ricardo was helpful. I will not return. read more

I paid for the Best Buy Membership when I bought my very expensive Lenovo Laptop/tablet at this store. They were to transfer my data, but when I came to pick it up (over a week later) there was no data apparent. The Geek Squad member told me it was in Downloads. I did not even get to sit with someone and had to stand at the counter looking through the machine. I never did find it and just downloaded my own files from my OneDrive. Worthless. Now I just paid $1150 for a new iPhone over the website. I asked at the store would they transfer my data and set up the phone - yes, says the sales kid. Then I pick it up and they say for set up go to the Geek Squad area. Well, they are by appointment only and I cannot get it set up for days and it is drop off - they will have to keep my phone. Not sure why anyone would pay for the Geek Squad membership and I will not be fooled again. read more

Best Buy guys are wonderful, knowledgable, helpful. Talk to Bru who knows PC and Mac like he invented them. Also, they will help you out. I bought an external hard drive at Dot Foil that stopped showing up on my mac . Dot Foil wanted 90$ just to plug it in and see if it was visible. Went to Best Buy instead and they fixed it up and transferred the data for under 20$. Yes, they are overworked, you'll have to wait. That's because they are the best place in town to get things fixed, bought, tested, and explained. read more

Like most people have said in their reviews are ready a lot of these employees act like they have a chip on their shoulder. They are very rude and don't seem like they really want to help you and they don't care that you drove all the way out there so we live in Albuquerque. We ordered a computer monitor for same day pick up the Albuquerque stores did not have it in stock they said Santa Fe has it will be ready in an hour. Now Both stores are very wrong in the situation Albuquerque should have called to check to really make sure. so we went all the way out there to get the monitor when we got there they said it wasn't ready and to Just wait another hour or so and I said well can you at least make sure you have it because I would hate to wait all this time and then end up finding out you don't have it he goes let me see he looks it up in their system that says it has it, but then said doesn't mean we have it. So I was like all right that's fine will wait so as we're waiting of course I get the text message saying it's out of stock and as we were about to go talk to someone about it, we saw that they had an open box. They said yeah you can buy this it was 169 which was fine. It was less than what I paid. Once we got up to pay for it. The guy that rang it up was like well it's not ringing up and then told me it's 269 he goes. I can drop it to 200 that's about it. I said well. Alex told me it was this price And he rang it up and this where I really started getting mad he made it sound like I was lying. He's like why don't know how he rang it up if it's not ringing up up here. I said well you can go talk to Alex he goes he's with a customer and I said OK but you can just ask him a simple question. It will be fine. I've seen employees do that multiple times at Best Buy. He refused to do it so I said fine. I'll go talk to him I'll do your job. I went over talk to him he got on the walkie-talkie said you have to override it I just made the tag. If it's not ringing up it is 169. The dude was an asshole that was ringing me up. I think his name was Lee and he was very rude. He said well I would've known he just made the tag them that miscommunication would've been resolved I'm sitting there like well you could've figured that out too if you would've just got on the radio with him. And then tell me we try to please you guys it's like again I had to go over to Alex and talk to him. You were trying to sell me an open box for brand new price because the price that you were ringing it up as was is if it was new one. So I do not think you where really trying to help.... You did nothing I had to do all the work . First time going to this Best Buy and the very last time I will ever go there. If Albuquerque best buys does not have it I will have it shipped. read more

In November of 2022 I needed to get a new phone. I went to the Best Buy in Santa Fe and after looking at a few different models, I saw the Samsung Fold out phone. I asked the clerk at the desk in that department, and he proceeded to tell me about the phone. He assured me it had lost and or stolen protection. I applied for the Best Buy Credit card, also got the tech plan and bought the phone. On Friday, April 21, 2023, I realized that my phone was missing. I searched everywhere and could not find it. I called the corporate office and asked if indeed I had the lost and stolen protection plan, they said that I did. I asked what I needed to take with me to the store, and she said to give them my name and the clerk should be able to help me. I told her that I live about 40 miles away from the Santa Fe Best Buy and asked again was there anything I needed to take with me. She said no. So the next day I went. The clerk/cashier there said that I did not have the lost / stolen protection, and that I never had it because it is not offered for my phone. I was livid! I would never have bought such an expensive phone if it was not covered by that plan. I feel mislead and lied to- TWICE. I called corporate and spoke to someone there that kept trying to pass me off to the tech program to explain what they do cover, and I kept saying no, that has nothing to do with the 2 employees that lied to me- and had misrepresented the services offered by the tech program. To date, the situation has not been resolved. The Assistant Manager reached out to me, and then I never heard back from him again. BUYER BEWARE when you go to BEST BUY Santa Fe. read more

This Best Buy doesn't do me well. I went in and asked for a CPU fan, a common piece of equipment that any PC aficionado is familiar with and one which should have been available in numerous varieties and makes. After several employees vainly tried to locate even a single such device for me, they determined that there were none in the store. On another occasion, I went by to purchase some audio equipment. My new Blu-Ray player's coaxial output was incompatible with the analog RCA inputs of my Yamaha mixer. None of the employees were savvy enough in this arena to offer assistance, and the adapters I left with ended up not working. I did get good service once. I was thirsty and purchased a beverage out the refrigerator by the cash register. From now on, I may just treat this Best Buy like a soda stand. At least their drinks are reliable. read more

If I could rate no stars I would. I went in looking to purchase about 5k worth of electronics. I needed a tv and a surround system. I literally was in the store for about 2 hours and got no help. I went and asked for a manager and I asked if they took PayPal. They said no and that the tv I wanted they would have to order, so I left. I found everything on i needed eBay, including a entertainment center and all the cables I needed for $1500 cheaper. When I got my tv in I went to Best Buy to buy a mount and to set an appointment to have Geek Squad mount my tv on the wall and run the wires through wall as well. It was about $300 for this service. When my appointment came the installers told me there is a horizontal stud and that they can't hide the wires. I was upset and the one guy said he can still hang it and that I can get an electrician to do it at a later time. When they left I went out got a stud finder and determined there was no horizontal stud! Seems to me they were just to lazy to do their job. If they couldn't or didn't want to do it in the first place they should of refunded me and I could of paid someone else to do what I wanted done. I ended up doing it myself and it took about 30min. I will never shop at Best Buy again!!! I got better service online and paid way less!! read more
