Very helpful staff they made suggestions which I found invaluable asked for help from supervisors

Well I've been dilly-dallying over a few purchases but the combination of a heap of recycling (Best buy will accept batteries and some electronics for recycling -very handy!) and future tariffs tipped me off the fence. Once I located the section that stocked my chosen stuff it was still a bit of a hunt. Items were not arranged on any order that I could figure out. Extremely expensive feature loaded versions nestled cozily next to extremely low cost versions. Was this designed to slow me down and stop me from going directly to the item which I had already picked out on the website? Because it worked. I looked at TV accessories that were more expensive than my TV. Eventually I found my pick but it took an astonishingly long time to spot it. Checkout was swift and efficient. read more

Best Buy - Vallejo - The Geek Squad ready to roll! - Electronics Near Me - Vallejo, California

Context: I went to Best Buy intending to buy an Apple Watch Story Time: Upon asking, I was told by a store employee they did NOT have Apple Watch Fitting Stations, and then was quickly dismissed. After browsing the store, we found THEY DO IN FACT have an Apple Watch Fitting section! Conclusion: Did the employee know this? I think so. Did the employee care to help us/provide a satisfactory customer service experience? Absolutely not. PSA: Avoid the gentlemen with black framed glasses ~either he doesn't work in electronics (it's Best Buy, but I digress ...), or he clearly didn't want to deal with us...yikes read more

This review isn't for the store as a whole, but for the geek squad. I had an appointment to get my battery replaced on my phone. I was stressed having had a previous appointment cancelled (due to a staff member being sick) and having limited time to be able to drive here. Ariyana was so wonderful to work with. She was patient and reassuring. Very professional particularly given how tired and frustrated we were. She even managed to get the repair done before the end of the evening so I didn't have to drive back to Vallejo. I am incredibly grateful. read more

I really want to shout out the amazing service I received from a Geek Squad employee named Aleks. On one of my work days, my computer crashed, but luckily I was starting early and got in without having to wait. Aleks quickly figured out what was wrong and jumped right into fixing it, which I really appreciated. It feels like we often hear a lot about bad service, but not enough about the good stuff. I just hope this gets to the right Geek Squad folks so Aleks can get some well-deserved recognition for the fantastic customer service and repair skills! read more

The products on the shelf are not labeled properly prices are not matching products. Staff is not helpful at all at this location. Best Buy has gone down hill in customer service. I will gladly drive to a different location. The selection of products are great but seems no one can put them in the correct locatio read more

I downloaded yelp just to say how bad the customer service is at this store, unsure of what to buy or get or where to start? doesnt matter nobody will come help, i stood around for about thirty minutes at the gaming section looking around and nobody came to help me at all. absolutely unexceptional, i came with money to spend but apparently nobody here cares about customer service. its just the way things are now. read more

Today is the first of May. Guess where I'm at today? I'm in Vallejo at Best Buy. I've been meaning to do this for a long time. Today is the day. The other week, I saw something that I liked. I really wanted the Sony CH520 Wireless Black Headphone, but today I showed up to this location and it was all sold-out for some reason. So I went with a JVC Wireless Deep Bass On-Ear Black Headphone and a Sony MDREX14AP Earbud Black Headphones instead for this time. Some travel essentials, something for when I'm at Signature Aviation OAK - Oakland Int'l Airport you know? This Electronic Store is actually right next to another Red Lobster, Korean BBQ, DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse, Vallejo Automall, and Verizon. But the thing about me is, if I want it, I got it. I'm definitely going to be coming back to get my new Sony Headphones I was originally supposed to purchase very soon. That's for sure. read more

A little short staffed but even though they were busy, the staff who did help me were so kind and efficient. I especially appreciated the quick installation of a new screen protector on my cell phone. A+ service. read more

Bought a lap top; staff was repeatedly interrupted by supervisors but eventually got a good deal. Problem arose with installation as it was set for Friday. Waiting for call on Thursday for time; nothing, so I called store. 20 minutes of being bounced around, called again. Got a nice human who looks up my file & said I was rescheduled. Nobody told me, so now I have to wait a week read more

Corporate abandonment. Customer service low. Not staff fault. Corporate and management need to shift budgets for help in store. This completely sucks, what once was a great store to spend at has become an almost abusive and bad hack experience. Big fat "F" for corporate and management. This store is treated with less attention I can tell. Bean counters need to see them selves as working for the customer because we do have choices and with out us there is no company we buy. I spent around 400 bucks today (not unusual). Been a loyal customer I am just hoping this company gets their sh#% together, it's embarrassing. Not to me but to corporate. Fix it. Make time for the things you care about. It's obvious it's not the customer. You get one star because there is no zero star option. read more

Best Buy is only in business because it's the only major tech store around. I went in there and no one greeted me. I went straight to the smartphones to peruse their options. No one approached me to check on me until I had to find someone to help me. I saw employees around. I saw two of them at the front chopping it up like they're hanging out at a barbecue. The only reason I would buy a phone here because they're the store that sell unlocked phones. If there is another store in Vallejo, y'all let me know. read more

I went to Best Buy in Vallejo to look for a new laptop. John and his 25 years of customer service was a Godsend. From the time he spent educating me about which laptop to purchase, I knew I had the right person. Most computer geeks (and I say this with all due respect) forget that they are talking to a novice. John spoke in terms that were easily understood, and he actually gave me a tax tip about my purchase. Who doesn't love a one stop shop! This man is good business for Best Buy and my purchase was well worth the price. The next time you're in Best Buy in Vallejo and you're in the market for a computer, ask for John. Service was 10/10, knowledge 10/10. Thank you John!!!! read more

Waited 30 mins for curbside pick up. Eventually, I left and cancelled my order. Yes, I could've went out. But, If I would've known it was gonna take this long, I could've at least put on some decent clothes. read more

Tony from Best Buy a/v with the curly hair department is a real piece of work. Too busy staring at his phone then actually helping a customer .Wear some decent pants to work too man I get a retail job doesn't need a strict dress code but the pants you got are tighter than this economy. Won't be coming back to this store again and employees like him are the reason why. read more

I had a really bad exhausting time locating a new power adapter for my laptop. Thank goodness for Best Buy in Vallejo. They had exactly what I needed and lowered my stress by an enormous amount. I will now only use this Best Buy store from here on out. read more

Dont know why this location has less than 3 stars but I can tell you Will at the phone department goes out of his way even when he is not working. He responded to issues I had with my order when I texted directly to his number in a timely manner. So if yur looking to buy or trade yur old phone, look for Will. read more

I've purchased my washer and dryer here when I first moved to Vallejo. I thought the service was great and the delivery, appliance hook up was easy and they also picked up the old unit to be recycled. Recently, I went to purchase an AirPlay for my Beats Pro. I then decided I didn't need it, and I didn't have time to return it right away as I was leaving for my trip the next day. Fast forward, I returned to the store to return the AirPlay. I was told it was over two weeks and they couldn't do anything explained by the cashier Steve. I did ask for the manager and the manager. Francisco explained their policy, to my defense, a two week return policy is a bit short. Competitive stores give you 30 day return policy and then I was suggested to sign up with their membership, which was $50 and I said I don't need the membership because I'm not returning anything else. Hence, I purchased appliances from Best Buy and never had to return anything. Their reasoning behind the membership was to extend the return policy up to two months again I mentioned I will not need the membership because I normally do not have to return anything that I purchased from them. So he didn't promise a refund but instead he did give me a store credit for $60. I thought that was a great compromise. I was very appreciative and I'm sure I'll be spending the $60 back to the store anyway for something more practical. read more

I would give no stars if I could for the Manager for AT&T section Mo. I walked into the store not wanting anything about AT&T because I was being charged too much. He pulled me aside offered me two new iPhones and fixed my line. All great till it wasn't. Now I been to more AT&T stores and back lines trying to fix the mess he made. My bill for this month? $980 because usps lost my phone that I traded in. I seriously wish I never saw this manager. I been 3 times now to talk to him and every time employees say oh they're not in. I never felt so upset. No one seems to be fixing it. Do NOT upgrade your phones here. I knew it would be a scam. read more

Just terrible cashier service. I can see why people bombard this place with bad reviews. I'm surprised they're still in service. No "hello" no "thanks for stopping by" the guy who rang me out completely ignored ALL social interaction. I get things are busy sometimes, but giving your customer a terrible customer interaction isn't going to help. I remember now why I rarely come to this Best Buy. If you're looking for electronics you might as well shop on Amazon and look up reviews on YouTube. Take some customer service lessons Best Buy. read more

This is a -0 star review. Had an appointment for Saturday, 4 Oct 24 to have someone come out to do some work. I called early Saturday morning since I didn't get a confirmation phone call. It's at that time when they tell me that they overbooked for the day and they can call me around 3:30pm to let me know if they can still come out and the latest time would be 7pm. Are you fucking serious? I'm paying for this service and just now you want to tell me? WTF!!? Why didn't you call the day before or days before to let us know? At this point you should give me a credit for the lack of communication and terrible customer service. Who keeps track of your scheduling? That person should be fired!! I wonder how many other people they screwed over. I can see why this place only has 3 stars. If I could do none, I would. read more

Despite these negative reviews, I will share my experience purchasing a 65 inch TV last week because it was amazing. We went into the TV area and were helped by David. He was the most patient sales rep we've ever encountered in big box stores like Best Buy. He took so much time helping us choose the right TV (we had Sony in mind, he recommended LG and we went with his recommendation). We ended up purchasing an open box LG C3 (which we later returned and got the new C4). David bubble wrapped the TV really carefully, went out to our car and made sure it would fit, and even threw in some standing legs for free. The whole thing took about 1.5 hours. David you were the best! I also wanted to shout out to the customer service employees who helped with our price adjustment for the TV (it went $100 cheaper over Labor Day sale). They were also super patient and made the entire process go smoothly. The curbside pick up was fast as well! Thank you Best Buy Vallejo. read more

Last month - Went in to buy a Epson printer. They only had the most expensive one available out of six. We left feeling discouraged. Then drove next door to Costco and not only found the exact one we wanted (refillable tanks) but a much better price and they had plenty in stock on hand. Best Buy tried to make us think no one else had them available right now. So glad we didn't listen to the salesman. Yesterday 1/3/22 - I ordered a DVD player and hdmi cable. The following day my husband went in to pick up the order we paid for and they told him the DVD player wasn't ready. Mind you, we received an email about an hour after we placed the order that it was ready. No DVD player and no update to when it would be ready. Tonight I reviewed my Best Buy orders and to our surprise it was canceled. No email or any notification that they canceled. No credit back on our credit card either. We paid for it and now have to wait for a credit? Not EVER going to shop with you as long as I'm breathing! High priced, inconvenient and no customer service. I expect Best Buy will be closing it's door soon anyway. read more

Went there to spend some money yesterday. Rennovating the house, I went to take advantage of their 24 mth zero interest financing. It's a great deal. Got approved for low amount, Best Buy supervisor Francisco assisted me and we got them to raise it up, enough to purchase most of what we needed. Bought a fridge, stove, washer and dryer, dishwasher and a huge TV. Went without a hitch. Francisco was very nice and helped me within 10 mins of my arrival. Handled all the specs, scheduled delivery, addressed all needed warranty, installation, etc... even got a discount of 10% and a $200 gift card. Not bad. 5 stars. Next day, I came back to order the hood for the stove, Francisco saw me after I walked for 5 mins. He said "I will help you", after he helped a customer he was already with, I said, "ok" and waited. 10 mins went by, I saw him helping another customer, I waited another 10 mins and saw him helping another w a MS windows product, he saw me and said, "I will be there", another 5-7 mins later passed and another agent asked if I am being helped. I said, it seems Francisco is busy and I just need to order 1 thing. He said, he would get Francisco and switch w him, so Francisco can help me. Took another 10 mins....when he arrived, it took 2 mins to find out that the hood I needed was OUT OF STOCK !! Little petty (I admit it) to take away a star for that, but, I am expressing only my personal experience and pls take away what you can from this experience and decide for yourself w your own experiences here. I would only have taken 1/2 a star for the irritating 2nd visit, but, I can"t. So, Sorry. The store was pretty empty when I was there, so not sure what all the wait was about...oh well. C'est La Vie. read more

My boyfriend and I went here to shop around for laptops. He found an "open box" laptop, so a male employee came over to help us with it (I regret not asking for his name). Since it was an open box item, it had to be sent over to another employee, so that it could be reset to factory settings. He told us that it would take a couple minutes and that he would meet us in the front of the store. A couple minutes later, he found us and said he discovered something while restarting the laptop. It had 2 screen burn areas that we had not noticed beforehand. If it wasnt for him, we would have bought the laptop & would have gone through the whole return excursion. He totally could have just ignored the screen burn and sold it to us as is, but he was genuine enough to inform us! We walked out of the store empty handed, but we really appreciate this man's help and honesty! Thank you! read more

I come to Best Buy when my parents are shopping at Costco. I will admit this is the place to go and ditch your parents while they are at Costco. This Best Buy location is in a good place. It is a nice shopping center where Kohl's and Costco is at. What I like about this location is that I can get help compare to the other location I have gone to (Pleasant Hill and Pinole). The Best Buy associate greet me right away before I ask for help. Great customer service! I will come back to this location again. read more

Customer service their ex that transfer 45 times it's called just Dr. Sales to buy something terrible business won't go back John F

Every employee I saw were just slacking off. Playing in the store wheel chair, flipping the hand scanner. Zero sense of urgency to help. Sales floor was a disaster. Stuff all over the bottom of the shelves where they are supposed to be hung up. Palleted inventory on end caps wich explains why the stock was so anemic looking. The organization, energy and lack of execution was very sad to see. This is not the Best Buy I remember. read more

Do not order delivery with these folks. Their shipping process is a SCAM. I purchased an item online and they would not make a second attempt at the delivery on the next business day. The attempted delivery was on a Sunday. They returned my item to the store and immediately started the refund process. Now I'm stuck waiting for my money to be returned before I can repurchase the product. This is my son's money and I don't have the money to cover a repurchase until we get refunded. They have NO control of their shipping process. Their customer service apparently can do nothing about it when all they had to do was make a second attempt at delivery. I will never use this service again and do not recommend it to anyone else. Had to give one star in order to post. They don't even deserve that. read more

Was gifted a television that was defective when taken out of the box! After checking with the Pinole store to make sure it could be returned at the Vallejo store, the manager refused to take it back. After it was manhandled by the Vallejo staff then stuffed back in the box, it was more damaged than before! The nastiness and the unusual questions made me feel like I was being accused of something smh! Receipt and warranty in hand which they cancelled after finally getting the tv replaced in Pinole! Not sure if I'll do business here again read more

They need more employee to assist the costumer because when I was their in best buy vallejo no body help me

Worst customer service ever , waited more than 20min no customer service. I asked for customer service 4 times , they weren't busy at all. After 20mins guy named Fernando's came with attitude, unwilling to help. Then he said he is not going to help us. Great job Best Buy hiring this guy. They don't even deserve one star. read more

The service is horrible. The store didn't seem busy with last minute Christmas shoppers. The lack of a floor manager is real apparent at this store. I ended up making my purchase at a different store and will not be visiting this location in the future. read more

Do not expect fast service! Went today to buy a monitor and had to wait a looking time - there were no associates willing to help, I see them walking around some talking to each other but when you ask for assistance the response was "someone will be with you shortly" - seriously? Why can't they help a customer when they clearly are not dealing with another customer at that time was beyond me. I went to the cashier counter and finally an associate was called to come and help me - the associate named Cameron has ZERO customer service skills! No effort to be polite, no eye contact, makes a customer feel like we are disturbing his peace. If I did not need the monitor today I would have not bought from them read more

Yesterday my boyfriend was extremely excited to get a switch that he's been looking for for months. It's been out of stock everywhere. He ordered it via Best Buy Vallejo, he paid the extra to get it here and they texted him confirming the order. Today he received a message saying that the order will be canceled, doesn't explain why & the customer service page has a fat "?" On it. If you're out of stock don't let the system take people's money. Now he has to play a waiting game for the refund cause someone failed to update the system or even manage it properly. Will never use Best Buy again. It would have been one thing if it was just was out of stock but even now after canceling order it still asks if you want to purchase it. Sounds like a simple issue that could be handled. Thanks for taking the money tho. read more

Best Buy has never been known for its customer service, but this store sucks. How long have we been in this store with absolutely no one helping us, 02-24-24? The entire DVD/Blu-Ray section has been removed, which makes absolutely no sense. The Meta Universe visor display is garbage. Don't even touch that damn thing or it'll fall apart on you. This store is a ghost town. There is only 1 employee that is visible in this store and they aren't even helping. All the other employees have decided to disappear off into their own world and could give a damn about customer service. It won't be long before this location is boarded up and turned into something else. I have trusted Best Buy for years with my technological needs but now, I'll just go to Amazon. read more

I bought a fridge from them. The one they sent stopped working 2 days in. Their policy is to replace it so they say someone will come out in 2 days with a new one. No biggie. No one comes, no one calls. I call them & they say they won't be able to send anyone out for 3 weeks! I have a family of 6! Trying to live out of a cooler. I'm sure if they didn't have my $ already and I was just outright buying a new fridge they'd have it out a lot soon. read more

The management is very anal. The assistant managers are very weird at this particular store. I worry about their staff that is not in positions of management. I feel they are being paid in plasma or some sort of vital life saving or sustaining element because we go to Fairfield now. I would rather eat at TacovBurrito and it's crystal CLEAR how I feel about them. This Best Buy is possibly cursed. Anyone know what's going up over at the old Toys R Us? read more

12/4/2019 - Thank you Marlon, General Mgr., for the high quality customer service, helping me locate the portfolio cover for my IPhone 11 Pro Max. We found exactly what I needed, and made a startling discovery that thieves were switching out products with one of lesser quality and features. Also, we found boxes of the $59.95 item "empty". Wal-mart uses satellite cameras installed next to products that are subject to theft, such as vitamin supplements, cosmetics, etc. Now we know why retailers raise prices just to earn a sustainable profit margin. read more

I bought my Apple Watch series 7 online for a store pickup at this vallejo Best Buy location because they have it in stock. Upon opening it , the Watch Does not work or turn on . The back of the Watch does not have button to push to slide the bands in. I thought it shouldn't be a problem returning it or exchange . Went to the nearest Best Buy store in Pinole to return but was told the Watch is fake and should be return to the original store where I got it from which is the Vallejo Best Buy. both stores made it look like that I bought it and then swapped the Watch . Been given the run around and was stare at. The supervisors and staffs were Very unprofessional. In the end, my purchase was refunded after spending an hour going back and forth. The lesson to be learn here is to please check the item before paying for it. It doesn't matter if it is a brand new unopened item. I was told that the Watch is brand new but inside the box is a fake Watch. better yet , go to Costco or Amazon. They have a good return policy and great Customer service read more
