Our family paid $2,247.55 to Secure Data Recovery after being told that the recovery was largely…read moresuccessful. The primary reason for seeking recovery was our family photo collection. The recovered data was delivered in a highly disorganized format that was difficult to navigate and verify. Because of the condition of the recovered files, we were unable to determine whether our complete photo library had actually been recovered. We were told that missing files were likely mixed into the "Lost Files" recovery. After receiving the recovered data, we independently used recovery software costing less than $100 and recovered an intact 810 GB Mac Photos Library with organized chronological browsing by year and month. This recovery was substantially more usable and easier to verify than what we received from Secure Data Recovery. Had we understood that our primary photo library was not being delivered as a functioning Photos Library, we would have evaluated the value of the service very differently. We contacted the company multiple times regarding our concerns, asked questions about missing data, and requested additional assistance. After expressing our dissatisfaction and requesting further help, we did not receive any further response. This review reflects our personal experience and the recovery results we observed.

I sent my water-damaged iPhone to Secure Data because it was stuck in a boot loop and contained…read moreimportant photos for my thesis. I expected a straightforward diagnosis and a reasonable estimate. Instead, I was quoted $1,760 for what was described as extensive repairs necessary to recover the data. As a student, I couldn't afford this, and I requested the phone back. They did not release it immediately, instead, I had to exchange multiple emails and a phone call. During that call, I was told that if I removed a negative review (about their Brooklyn location falsely being advertised as walk-in), they would lower the price to $900. Extortion, plain and simple. I declined, and when I finally got my phone back, I plugged it in and--lo and behold--it worked perfectly. Which means one of two things: 1. They were fully prepared to charge me $1,760 for "repairs" that were not necessary, or 2. They performed repairs without my consent, then failed to disclose it when returning the device. Either way, this is dishonest and exploitative. I'm relieved I got my data back, but I feel like I narrowly avoided being scammed out of a huge sum of money. Consumers deserve transparency and integrity--qualities this company clearly lacks.

Terrible experience trying to get a new laptop set up. Was told it would take an hour or two and…read morethat someone would call to let me know it was ready for pickup. I went home and waited for a call. Nothing that day. The next morning I logged on the app to check the status and saw no one has started to work on it. I've tried calling for an update. It is impossible to actually talk to someone who works in the store. A call center rep transfers you to a voicemail. My next step is to go and sit in the store and wait for them to complete the setup to see if that will get things moving. Such a waste of time. I'm very disappointed. UPDATE: tTe Geek Squad member who set up my laptop when I went to the store to find out when I would be able to get my laptop had it nearly ready and spent about 45 minutes with me getting some applications set up. He was polite, super helpful and great to work with. Updating my rating from 1 to 3 stars solely for this experience. That said, the store would benefit from having status updated in the app and a direct number to someone working in the store to answer the phone as dealing with a call center rep who is unable to help is a waste of time and a poor customer experience.

Got a terrific buy of 43" Smart TV for approximately $180.00 last week online. I also contracted…read morefor 2-year Geek Squad. Television was delivered to my building lobby this past weekend but when I called to have it installed atop my dresser in my studio apartment living room the quoted cost for installation is $239.00! So very disappointed as the new TV remains inside my apartment uninstalled.

It feels a bit like a cousin of B&H with a slightly different personality and focus, but the same strong sense of expertise and professionalism. The store is large but not overwhelming, well-organized, and clearly oriented toward photography and content creation, though it also has dedicated sections for musical instruments and scuba gear that make the place feel unique. The scuba area is a little unexpected at first, but I suppose people who love gadgets and gear often overlap with that world as well. I honestly haven't purchased much here over the years aside from a few items, though I definitely bought a PlayStation controller here during COVID. A lot of the appeal for me was simply walking around, learning about new products, and talking with staff who actually know what they're discussing. You really get the sense that the employees are enthusiasts and specialists, not just salespeople. Their pricing also feels very competitive, with an emphasis on staying current and cutting-edge while still maintaining a "money well spent" mentality around sales and service. The atmosphere is calm and professional, and while the store is smaller than B&H or Abt, it's still an excellent size. If you're downtown or near Union Square, it's also much more convenient than heading all the way to the Penn Station area. Highly recommend for anyone into electronics, photography, audio gear, or just technology in general.

The name is a bit misleading. Yes, they do sell computers and peripherals. However, NYU's…read morebookstore is also at this location. And even calling it a bookstore is misleading, because it also sells NYU shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, and other NYU paraphernalia. Regarding computers, I have noticed that the prices are competitive with other retailers, and when I once purchased RAM for a computer, it was actually cheaper. You will probably get better prices online, but if you need something computer-related immediately, you should check this place out. Textbooks, however... Well, as my dad says, "that's how they get ya'!" They are way overpriced at any university. Unfortunately, the Barnes & Noble on 5th Avenue and 17th St., which used to have decent prices on textbooks, is no more. I loved going there as an undergrad and grad student and saving a few bucks. If you are a NYU student, you are probably stuck getting your textbooks here, unless you shop for them on Amazon or something. On the other hand, you can rent textbooks at this bookstore. I have never rented a textbook before, so I can't say anything about it. There is a regular bookstore, and the prices there are decent. They also sell classics at a discount for $3-$6. The clothing section is pretty good, and the prices aren't bad. Depending on what you get, items can vary from $15 (t-shirt) to $70 or so. They used to have a cafe, but unfortunately they closed it down. However, it is a nice place to visit, especially if you want to pick up an NYU shirt.
