The help is truly appreciated. read more

Purchased a laptop from best buy back in July and had problems with it, so brought it in here. The girl and guy working at the geek squad area looked at it and were able to fix it. I was SO happy! They were so kind. I truly appreciate their help. read more

Awful customer service went in and did a meta glasses demo and waited two weeks for the email to purchase and when I never received the email I contacted this best buy to get help to try to get them to resend the email or whatever it is they send to meta to tell them I did the demo and the unhelpful customer service worker said I need to come to the store to get them to resend the email as I live more southern florida so it is two hours away from me. They probably shouldn't offer demos if they cannot help after the fact of it being a problem on their end and there being no way to contact meta. Bad customer service and awful service from the start. read more

I came into this Best Buy location to have my camera looked at and possibly fixed, and my experience with Greg was extremely disappointing. From the moment I approached him, he seemed miserable and completely uninterested in helping. His tone was dismissive, and he came across as ignorant and unhelpful when I asked basic questions about my camera and repair options. read more

Best Buy, I go here when I really need something. I really needed a new television because my television is going out. I just looked on their website and saw what I wanted. It was a good price for a 24 inch and Best Buy has a good warranty. I pulled up to the curbside and let someone know I was there. Jenny arrived quickly. I will continue to go to Best Buy as long as the store is around. read more

Once again, another outstanding experience here at the South Tampa Best Buy. We love this store, today was our first time here since the renovation. They did a great job, more selection than ever! Luis F was fantastic, he helped us buy what we needed/wanted and arranged for installation in just 6 days. Cannot ask for anything more. Have to mention, priced right! Plus, if you are a total tech member, no charge for installation. Louis truly knows his products, highly highly, recommend him for home theatre and much more. We will be back! read more

Very disappointing trip to Best Buy. I spent the last 2 days shopping for a new MacbookPro. I explains this to geek squad after waiting on hold for over 20 minutes three times they made me an appointment for today. I showed up today to make the purchase and was told it's an additional $200 to transfer my data from my MacBook Air. You have every right to set your store policies, but it helps. Let the customer know before they take off work and show up to the store. read more

Bought a whirlpool washer for a great discount and had the BEST reps come out to not only install it, but also remove the other broken washer all within 30 minutes. Alnel and Juan are one of a kind - quick, professional and understanding. I hope they deliver my next big order from Best Buy! read more

Hubs was shopping for a few computer monitors for his home work office. Looking for the Samsung curved monitors and this was the closest store that had them in stock. Hate this stores parking lot which is why I removed a star. Located near 275 on Dale Mabry next to Walmart. Staff was helpful in finding what we were looking for. They were quick and we were in and out. Ended up trading in our old Apple watches for credit towards these also. read more

Excellent service from this store. From the moment you enter to the minute you walk out. A special thank you to DAVE. He was incredibly patient, so full of knowledge of not only for what we came in for, but gave tons of recommendations for food to us new Floridians:) If you need anything related to digital imaging, ask for DAVE. I definitely trust his expertise. read more

I didn't realize how much Best Buy had gone downhill until I stopped in at this location to look for some Christmas gifts. Instead of finding the gifts I came for, I found unhelpful employees, the dirtiest bathrooms in all of FL, and police assisting a man who was threatening to sue Best Buy because he slipped in the disgusting bathrooms and got hurt! Truly a Christmas miracle! Pictured below is 1 of 3 bathroom stalls I tried to use before giving up! A Best Buy employee used it before I walked in there and I guess he didn't care to warn others of the biohazard he left. (The other two were worse. No one deserves to see what I saw in those other two stalls so I didn't take photos.... Be grateful) read more

Horrible customer service and bothered by me asking questions about certain headphones being in stock.

Don't ever go to Verizon for help with a new phone. They won't help. They just do transactions. Went to Best Buy on a suggestion. They sell ALL the Current PHONES, I had Richey as my sales guy he spent hour with me choosing and setting up the new phone. I recommended his expertise AND customer service was top notch. We did have to leave and come back over an hour to do this set up. The Samsung rep is always on site on weekends as well so I felt very valued. My only complaint . . The new phones don't come with a charging block!! So I can't charge phone!!!! I spend hours trying to call the store to find out how the heck I'm supposed to charge a new phone. You cannot talk to a live person and a phone robot puts you on hold after a 10 minutes explanation, to be on hold with wait times stated . .and no one comes to phone. Tried 3 times. Would of been nice to know!! Now I have a dead new phone and had to borrow a neighbors to charge it!!! Simple but iMpORTaNt over site on Best Buy's part. read more

Sean was very helpful, from helping me select a webcam; to finding some rechargeable batteries (there was something else on the peg in front of them, he even looked on his phone to confirm they should be in stock, we found them on the second look); and throughout the checkout process. He even thanked me for shopping at Best Buy. So few stores/people actually thank you for your business, and I appreciate this so I wanted to reciprocate the recognition. Thanks Sean. read more

Last week went to the store to buy at TV, at the hours that website said were reserved for seniors. Website also said, a greeter would assign an experienced sales associate to assist. The last time I tried to buy TV at BB, all the associates in TV section were flirting with young girls and ignored me. I looked for someone else with no success and left after 15 minutes. When leaving person at the door asked if I found what I needed, I said NO; he said OK. I bought a TV somewhere else about 30 minutes later. I thought with senior hours and assigned associate I would do better. I did not. Majority of people in the store were not seniors, greeter ignored me (on way in and out). I went to TV area. There were 2 associates helping others (one of two was clearly not a senior). I looked around for someone else found no one. After 15 minutes I left. Greeter never looked up. Sent email to store manager 8 days ago. There's been no response. For me, Best Buy equals Worst Service. read more

Great place to come for your every day electronic needs. Coming in during the weekdays around 2-5pm is the best time since you will avoid the rush. I went in today to get a Galaxy S9 and the process of picking, buying and paying was painless. The staff was very helpful and willing to help. I had mentioned a special for the S9 that comes with a free wireless base charger and a 128gb memory but in store they didn't have it written. So they went that extra step to look online and found the deal and honored it. I'm a happy camper now with a quick in an out purchase of a phone and some free items I didn't really looked at other areas of the store since I knew exactly what I wanted, but everything around me looks clean, well stocked and well organized. read more

Best Buy - Appliances.... Not for me though - Electronics Near Me - Tampa, Florida

All of the negative reviews are true, I've been coming to this Best Buy for a few years. I usually stop by to pick up one thing that I know for sure I need, I never "browse around". If you order drive-up pick up, you'll be waiting for weeks to get a confirmation, or they just won't contact you at all because the item isn't in stock anymore. read more

Gotta be the worst Best Buy, store is run poorly, reduced hours still, managers rude, unpleasant employees! Best Buy really needs to fix this! What a joke! The only one serving South Tampa and this is run like this! What a disgrace! read more

A big shout out to James in phones/electronics who helped me find one of the few remaining iPhone 12 Mini phone cases. Very nice young man, surely an asset to your store! Thank you, James!! read more

I waited for hours for computer expert to help synch and simplify multiple computers, old devices and new computer. The guy was nice seemed to know stuff. Got several problems addressed, then said he has 5 appointments that day. I said were not done. His comment " make another appointment" I took a half day off work and he charged me like $140 prepaid. Make another appointment and miss more work. Sorry pal my time is more valuable than yours. Bad customer service. Pay for independent knowledgeable guy who meets your needs and time. Terrible. read more

When shopping for office equipment (e.g. monitors or printers) only buy it if it is on sale. I ended up going to two Best Buys in my obsessive quest to find the best monitor and printer for the cheapest price. I thought maybe different Best Buys have different sales. Not the case. You are better off looking at the Weekly Deals online than wasting your time going into a store. The one thing that does differ by stores are the items marked down because they are out of the box. I love good deals so I would probably zip in, take a look at that shelf, and then zip out. The workers at this Best Buy are pretty helpful, but I don't find them any more knowledgeable than if I go online and read a variety of reviews of people who have actually purchased the product. Here is my PSA about prices (which I included in my other Best Buy review, because I think it is very important to note): I went online to look at their weekly deals for printers. They had a ton of printers on sale that touted $20-$100 off! Don't get caught up in the apparent savings. I checked this against Amazon and the printers are always those prices. That means, when Best Buy isn't having a sale on those products, you are paying $20-$100 more than if you purchased them off of Amazon. Their one saving grace is the monitor that was on sale was still $30 less than on Amazon (even though they were advertising it for $70 off their normal price.) Always double check your purchase after you take it home. The first monitor they gave me was broken! You have 30 days to return it, so don't wait until day 31 to take it out of it's box! Moral of the story is yes they have some crazy sales, but always double check it with Amazon to see if the sales are really worth it. They do have price match guarantee, but what is the point of the sale if it just brings the price down to the everyday? read more

This is an awful Best Buy I have been. I came there to buy a Samsung refrigerator but the guy ordered for me wrong one. I came there to complain to exchange it but they said it still takes a day to complete delivery transactions. It's so ridiculous. Awful sale persons, awful customer service. This is the worst Best Buy . read more

I'm currently in line at customer service for the last 10 minutes and there isn't a single person at the counter.

I had the best experience today. Bruce and Alonzo were great. Bruce was incredibly helpful and honestly I felt like he actually cared that I bought the right laptop for me. Wasn't trying to upsell or push something on me. Listened to what I wanted - gave me three options, helped me weigh the decisions and understand the value of each. I went in expecting nothing and walked out in a better mood. read more

Just as bad as it was my initial review! This is easily the worst Best Buy location in the Tampa Bay area. I tried to do curbside check-in, but it was so crowded, I just decided to go in. I had received notice that my television was ready for pick-up, but the HDMI cable I had ordered was not. Weird. So, I asked the woman assisting me if I could just go grab it myself. The woman snidely said "If they didn't pull it, it's probably not there." So, I went to look, and sure enough, there were about 5 on the rack. I brought it back to her, and it turns out that this Best Buy store had mis-entered this item into their computer, so after about 20 minutes searching the computer for it, she finally went and got help. No worries though, because it took 35 minutes for them to bring my new television to the front, from the back of store storage. The way their system is set up, the woman "helping" me could not assist another couple until my tv was checked off - so she just stood there and glared at me for 35 minutes while the check-out line got longer and longer. From all the recent Yelp reviews, clearly they need to re-train their sales people on "customer service". If I ever lose my mind and order from here again, I'll just choose from what's on the shelf instead of pre-ordering it. read more

Asked where the converters were for an external for my new MacBook. The Manager try to man-splan to me that my 2019 MacBook was not "new" and I must be wrong and it must be older. Bc my iPhone 10 uses the new USB-C cords and if my laptop uses a different one than I'm wrong and my computer is old. First of all- the manager was completely incorrect in everything he told me from a technical standpoint. -An iPhone 10 (2018 phone) does NOT use newest charging cords- according to him it does use USB-C. #WRONG. -The 2019 MacBooks does use the newest charging cords usb-c, and has no other "holes." According to him they have standard USB slots. #wrongagain Second, home boy took it a set farther than the technical issues, and said I must be trying to stick my cords in the wrong type of hole for ear phones or something. Wtf. Who says this to a customer? I wasn't even asking him a question about the holes, just which aisle converters were in. And he is basically saying I'm an idiot? Then tells me I'm wrong about the date I bought my computer. I said no I'm not, and he said yes you are. What. The. Actual. F*ck? Why is this even part of the conversation, and why is trying to tell me I'm a bigger idiot. It's completely unacceptable behavior for a manager. Uneducated not only on what he is selling but also basic professional human behavior. The worst manager I have ever seen in a retail store. No amount of coaching is going to fix that attitude. Kay dude. Kay. Maybe find a new day job, because you legit are completely clueless on all the things. Second of all- he took it a step further than just advising me on the wrong cables, and told me repeatedly I was wrong about purchasing it a few months ago and I must have purchased it months ago.... what. The. Actual. F*ck. Was he suggesting I'm lying about the purchase date of my MacBook, or was he suggesting read more

Abbi in electronics is amazing! She was extremely knowledgeable, patient and helpful. She helped me find the perfect gift for hubby during the busy holiday season. I appreciated the time she took to explain the details to me with the computers. I am not tech savvy by any means so it meant a lot. Together we picked out a great gift and I couldn't be happier. read more

Zero! what a terrible experience. I've been here several times because it's close, but I'd drive anyplace else in order to get help. The employees are not only bored and hate their job, they are not knowledgeable and dumb. They could replace everyone there with self service kiosks and double their profits. I had 2k to get a new phone but no one helped me, when someone finally showed up, they said they can't sell me a phone without a contract, which I don't need. they employees wouldn't help me find a new 5k Sony camera with lenses because it was 30 minutes until closing time and they wanted to leave instead of help people. I have an account there and easily could have spent 7k that day. Terrible experience. zero out of 5 score. read more
