These guys are great! Over the years I have had three distinct interactions with the fellows at…read moreDesco in Olympia. Two involved television /speakers installations. The techs sent to our home were organized and efficient as well as being highly knowledgeable and professional. My last interaction with Desco was several days ago. I was calling Desco to sort out a technical issue which was beyond my expertise. I was fortunate that Dick Tappenden answered the phone. In a matter of minutes Dick was able to sort out the issue (sight unseen!) thereby restoring the audio and video connections to the large screen Sony television we had purchased from Desco several years earlier. I highly recommend Desco for your A/V needs.

And invited us to call anytime for more help. This business models old fashioned customer service I haven't seen in years. We will never go anywhere else for electronics.

I purchased a 98" TCL QM7K Open-Box Excellent TV that was listed as available. After spending…read morenearly two hours on the phone and speaking with eight different representatives, I was ultimately told the TV was never actually in inventory. Because it was an open-box item, Best Buy declined to honor the purchase price on a new unit or offer a comparable replacement. The employees I spoke with were consistently kind, professional, and genuinely wanted to help. My frustration is not with them. They seemed limited by the systems and policies they had to work within. The process itself was incredibly frustrating. I received conflicting information from multiple representatives, was told my surround sound system and wall mount couldn't be canceled, yet I was able to submit a cancellation request myself through the app. I was also directed to replacement inventory that turned out to be located in Iowa and Minnesota rather than anywhere near me. Inventory mistakes happen. What left a bad impression was the lack of a practical solution after the purchase had already been completed. From a customer perspective, it felt like I was being pushed away from the deal I had legitimately purchased and toward paying significantly more for the same TV. I was prepared to spend several thousand dollars at Best Buy, but after this experience I chose to take my business elsewhere. The employees deserved better tools to help customers, and customers deserve a smoother process when something goes wrong.

I am done with Target. I have watched prices go up and up and up for the average customer yet I…read moresee thieves walk out of the store with merchandise in their hands, without paying, constantly with nothing apparently being done to combat it. I have pointed it out to employees who say "there isnt anything we can do, we have been told not to confront them". In addition, they now close their dressing rooms at 7pm. Depending on the employee you ask it is either 1.) Because of theft or 2.) We don't have anyone to man the dressing room. This makes no sense, for people who work, we come to Target in the evening. If you don't want to man the dressing room full time, have a button to press when someone wants to try something on, like every other store in Thurston County. This policy is ridiculous. The prices are higher than other stores and customer service is nearly absent. Done.

I went in there this morning. Did my shopping for like 30 minutes OK well I guess that's not too…read moreimportant:) so I go to self checkout and I forgot that they had card only so I backed out with my car looking for a cashier. We all have to use a card or what like I don't want to so I went up to a lady that was observing the self check out another lady named Kathy was walking behind the lady that was in self checkout. I didn't hear them talking, but maybe they didn't. I just couldn't hear I'm not gonna assume. So I'm backed back out and I'm looking at like where are you? Oh over here really rude and I'm like well. I'm not exactly over 5 feet 4 inches so I can't exactly see you with all the stuff in the way so I walked down there and she's like oh is that all I was like well I can get more if you'd like it was one item didn't mean to inconvenience you. I didn't say that then she started to get a little bit more snappy with me and I was like OK wow I mean you guys don't take cash in those self checkouts. I don't have a choice so I got a little snotty back cause I'm not the one to sit there and be snot at cause I'll snoop back. I know it's not exactly the way it should be stood, but I don't care so I'm put my phone number up there. I said I didn't want this one and she's like well. Do you know which one I'm gonna how dare you whoa? I was like I made a mistake. Are we allowed to not make mistakes or just only a few people a minute another lady and her child came up behind me and she was yeah I guess you could come here I was thinking wow that's kind of rude. I mean really wow I wanted to go and talk to the store manager, but I was like why so it makes a difference, probably not maybe I will but hold my breath so then I used my phone as a payment out of my debit card. I thought it was gonna be cash payment. I was like oh I'm sorry I'm just so used to making a card payment. I usually don't ask carry a whole lot of cash you can back out of it and I can make a cash payment and my bad kind of got a little snotty back to her. I mean you know come on for the love of God if you don't like your job quit it go somewhere else do something don't treat me like dirt. I'm tired of these people acting like they own whatever you're gonna just rude Customer Service maybe I should be like half the world and order online so then maybe she won't have a job because I'm ordering online along with the half of America. It's rude.

Unexpected Gem Alert!…read more So picture this, I'm dragging a bit today, that late morning/early afternoon slump after doing literally everything spring related around our homestead. (And no, not a Little House on the Prairie homestead, just five minutes up the road, but with all the pollen, chirping Tweetie birds, baby critters, a 16 year old son, and my handsome, big bearded hubby of almost 30 years this September. Thank you very much. It feels like a full blown homestead!) Anyway, squirrel moment incoming!! Hubs casually says, "Wanna go to the flea market?" I'm like, what flea market?! He says one just opened up... didn't even need to finish his sentence. Honestly, babe, you had me at flea market. (Although I did pause for a second to make sure it wasn't some trick detour on the way to Home Depot or the sports store. Don't play with my emotions like that Mr. I know your tricks.) Y'all. This place is fantastic! It's just getting started but already has some seriously cool finds. Reminder, one woman's junk could be another's treasure. Super clean, friendly folks, and tons of potential to grow. Bonus points: it's right next to the German Diner and Pink Bikini Coffee Stand. Yes, you read that right. Coffee, food, AND shopping--all in the same parking lot?! My kind of trifecta. If you're a vendor, this spot has great energy and prime potential. And if you're just like me and love a good treasure hunt...run, don't walk. My teen and his crew are big into thrift finds, and this location near River Ridge couldn't be better. He scored two pairs of jeans today. I'll share pics tomorrow. We haven't even had time to snap the Montage yet! Getting a photo of a teen boy is like Pulling an unloose tooth! Just one Omgosh, we ruined their lives, and an hour later they're taking a gazillion with their Peeps?! Like Cupping my hands over my mouth shouting, Ok, I love you, make smart choices as he's running out the door. Lol Kids. ‍ I hope others can relate?! Otherwise, this is one long boring review. On a Serious Note Though. Not that kids aren't. Support your local vendors, and small businesses OVER corporations, and franchises right now! They are who need us. We need one another. Show the corrupt corporations and franchise. We don't need them. Lift your community. Things might take a little longer or cost a couple dollars more, but think about the pockets you're actually helping, and giving back to. A little kindness goes a long way. Go check it out, you'll be glad you did. That's what matters.... Community and Value

Save yourself countless hours of research through online forums and call Burt for all your AV…read moreneeds! Home AV is one of my passions and definitely a hobby. One of the frustrating things about getting into something beyond Home Theater in a Box is the barrier to entry. Burt at Seattle Hi-Fi can help you demystify any questions you might have whether you are a novice or interested in bi-amping into a stereo amp bridge to a mono-block. Burt can hang with just about anyone and has the same positive attitude no matter the conversation. One of the key differentiators with Seattle Hi-Fi vs every other company I have done business with is how welcoming they are to your needs AND budget! Any AV shop will cater to your needs if your budget is right. All AV shops can make you feel welcomed if you are spending a huge amount of money. Burt has helped me when I was spending a single digit % of his suggested budget on an item the exact same as when I was spending more than what he suggested! I have felt like an extremely valued customer through every interaction with Burt, regardless of what I needed or what I was spending. Burt has spent time helping me debug problems AFTER the purchase was complete on a new use case I had and just generally is fantastic. Seattle Hi-Fi is my favorite store in the greater Seattle area, and my favorite AV store I have ever been to! Cannot recommend Seattle Hi-Fi enough.

If anything, they've limited sound quality. Seattle HiFi recommended the Niagara 1200, and phoned me when one became available. I was open to looking at the more expensive versions but was persuaded that I really just needed the basic 1200 model. With low expectations, I plugged my gear in. Wow. Immediately heard improvements. Cleaner top end, more detail, better bass definition, and less ear fatigue when listening to digital gear. Color me highly impressed again.
