Best Buy

I’m writing this in response to the review left by James Steel. With all due respect, it’s frustrating to see someone constantly complain about something as minor as music being played by store staff. These employees work long shifts and use music as a way to stay motivated and keep a positive atmosphere while doing their jobs. As someone who also works in retail (at FedEx), I can say from experience that music makes a real difference during tough hours. It’s not unprofessional—it’s human. These are likely young workers just trying to get through their day. There’s no need to make their jobs harder with unnecessary complaints. For the record, I’m not connected to Best Buy in any way—I’m just a regular customer. Every time I visit this location, I’m met with helpful, friendly service. I recently picked up an OLED TV, and the staff went out of their way to assist me with loading it into my car. Let’s cut workers some slack and focus on what matters: good service and helpful support—which this store delivers every time.

Absolutely horrible. Went to geek squad to get my computer fixed, was charged 190 dollars. The report said that my CPU was operating at normal temperatures, I picked it up and went home to try and use it. CPU was idling at 98 degrees Celsius. Then the computer shut off and now won't boot. If you want to get any technology fixed, take it to micro center. Don't use this horrible location. Unreliable, 600 dollar CPU fried as well as 160 dollars for them to try and repair it (they claimed they did) Never use the geek squad here. Horrible.

I visited this Best Buy today to buy a new phone, and overall, the experience was disappointing. Two of the Best Buy staff we interacted with were very rude and unhelpful. They didn’t answer questions patiently and seemed uninterested in helping us. On top of that, the screen protector was placed very poorly — something that should be basic for a tech store like this. Honestly, this was one of the worst customer service experiences I’ve had in any store. If not for the Best Buy name and the good deals they offer, I wouldn't even consider coming back or recommending this store. The only positives from the visit were a Samsung rep who was very polite and helpful, and a Geek Squad member who did a great job. It seems like the technical staff are the ones keeping things running here. Overall, a very disappointing visit, especially on what should’ve been an exciting day buying a new phone.

Best Buy has a large selection of electronic products. The price of every item has increased a lot, but they still have good customer service. The store atmosphere is also kind of chill.

As usual, best buy is a necessary evil. The only place to physically go in to get some of these items, but the service is awful. Expect to walk around for 10 minutes without help if you have a question. I asked an employee for help and she cut me off to just say "I work in the warehouse, I can't help." We were looking at a camera display and just touching a camera set off an alarm multiple times. The alarm was very loud and no employees came to see what the issue was. It just went off for several minutes with no response. We did get some help and it seemed like the gentleman had some product-specific knowledge on cameras, which was nice. They stocked several cameras which they had no display model for, and they would not open a camera for us to see unless we committed to buying it first.

4 year Geek squad protection is a SCAM! The store clerk will over sell you on the plan and then when you bring it in before the plan ends, that same store clerk will no longer work there so you can’t question them and then they’ll say all they can do is give you like 20% of what the current value is for the product in store credit, then TAKE the product. And the store credit will be around the price you paid for the plan in the first place so now you’ve lost just the value of the product but without HAVING the product. There’s just no way they have a team with the expertise to fix all kinds of issues with all the various tech products they sell. It’s 100% NOT worth it and in 4 years, you can just use that money to buy a more updated version of that product. For context, we bought a epson laser project and it was fine but then it started to lose connection to the wifi and Bluetooth speakers constantly and it was annoying having to reconnect every time we turned it on. Online, it says they cover normal wear and tear so I consider this normal wear and tear. Also the 1-star is solely for the Geek Squad Protection plan. I just think it’s scummy how they go about selling the plan and I think they probably only do it so they can get the products back, refurbish them, then sell it again for a bigger profit.

I used to shop at Best Buy for years when their Reston location was open- never had a problem. Even purchased a microwave about 18 months ago at the Sterling location with no issue. So when I knew I was having a full kitchen remodel, they were in my places to compare prices when it came time to purchase new appliances. I knew exactly which items I wanted, had them printed out from the website making it easy to purchase in store. The sales associate was nice, the manager on duty assisted with the sale and they both convinced me to purchase on a new Best Buy Credit Card since it was a holiday weekend and I was making a sizable purchase, I'd get a nice certificate back which could be applied to my purchase when issued. The sales associate even said she'd flag it so she could take care of it when the certificate was issued. I purchased the three appliances and set up the delivery for the following week. Which was where the issues started. I never got a call giving me a time frame as to when the items would be delivered- not a huge deal as I could track it on their app. But oddly the refrigerator kept saying "reserved" and when the delivery truck showed it was not with the two other appliances. And of course, they had no idea. No notification from Best Buy at all. I then call the store and am told the fridge is out of stock and they don't know when it'll be in and they are looking for a "replacement to offer." And the claim would be escalated and I'd hear something in 3-5 business days (it was a Saturday). Um, NO. I just purchased it the weekend before and now it's out of stock? Why was it sold in the first place? So I quickly went to another store, easily purchased the same fridge and called Best Buy back to cancel the one that I'd paid them for and got the refund. THEN, the certificates for my credit card show up and the sales associate leaves me a message to call her back. Instead I go to the store. She is unable to apply the certificate to my order because I had a return on the order. A "return" for an item I never received because it was mysteriously now out of stock. She says, "isn't there something else you want to buy?" Um, no. She gets the manager and he does some override and applies the certificate. THEN, I get home and look up my account and notice there was no credit for the certificate AND then look at the receipt and find it was applied to a COMPLETELY different order. The items were not even remotely close to what I purchased. Someone else just got a discount/refund that wasn't even theirs to receive. So I go back to the store the next day talk to the same sales associate and manager and show them the receipts. They are perplexed and "can't figure out what went wrong" and I'm asked "can we just give you a store credit in that amount? Um, no. I have no intentions of shopping here in the near future and wouldn't have applied for this stupid credit card if it wasn't for the certificates/refund I'd get in the first place. When realizes I wasn't giving in, he then did a refund on my account- which I verified with my online account before leaving the parking lot. So, clearly their systems don't talk to each other. Selling items that are not in stock or available. Then orders and accounts that get mixed up. Training issue? Lack of competence? I don't know, but my lesson here was I shouldn't have tried to save a couple hundred dollars (which ended up being much less) when the other store I purchased appliances from was completely hassle free.

Buyer Beware. I went into the Sterling store to look for a laptop. I spent a good deal of time comparing computers and found one with great specs and price. When I asked for it the person said they don't have it and cannot get it online, or from another store. It is just not available. But there was one next to it with similar specs but $250 more. This feels like a classic bait and switch scenario which is not only unethical but also not legal. I tried to talk to someone to say that they should take the computer off the display because, in their words, they don't have it, it cannot be ordered online and no other stores have it. Two different employees told me that the store does this all the time, they leave up a product on display that they don't have and people just buy something else. One employee gave an example of a vacuum left on display for months. I don't know if this is Best Buy business practices or just a bad store manager, but it is terrible in my opinion. I will no longer spend my money in that store but instead will go to another location that is farther from my home when needed.

A wonderful & fruitful experience with Jose and Carlos at the Sterling BestBuy location! I mean the customer service was such a breath of fresh air. A night and day difference between these gentlemen and the Tyson's staff. Carlos listen to my concern and came up with a solution that was fair and understandable. He signed me up for Best Buy plus member and I was able to make my exchange without a problem. This is the type of customer service all Best Buy stores should train their staff to have. I highly recommend the Sterling location over Tysons and trust me it's worth the drive. Keep up the excellent work!

CUSTOMERS ARE YOUR BUSINESS! If you continue to treat your customers poorly like how I was treated today March 7th at around 1pm at the Sterling location, you will have no business. I had a simple purchase that I knew was not available on the floor but asked the associates at the front if it was in fact in stock and on the floor. I was told there were 9 copies and that they were available on the floor. So I went to see if the product was there and nope it wasn't there. So I went back and then had to wait in line just for them to push me aside and be told someone would be there shortly to help. Waited forever for someone to come help and no one showed up. Finally flagged an MOD who rudely explained that they were busy. I understand being busy. I've worked retail. I know how this stuff goes. What you don't do is lazily give customers the go around and toss them aside. Not one apology was given. I left the store angry. I'll be taking my business elsewhere and further discussing my experience with the GM.

There is a very good reason this store is losing customers and shutting stores - the service, in my case on a HP OfficeJet ink multifunction machine, was just horrific. I spent more than 6 hours on the phone with representatives, every place except the US, trying to have them fix an HP Office Jet 8130 printer. It stopped printing because I canceled their outrageous ink and paper program. Call it blackmail or fraud, they said they could "fix" the printer if I would just sign up for the ink and paper service. I refused. The "tech support" was hard to understand and clearly I was not going to get a working printer unless I paid out more money. It took AppleCare 15 minutes to reset the Mac and Verizon, yes Verizon, took ivermectin minutes to reestablish the WI-FI connection. So, An "F" on everything for Best Buy and HP. "A" for AppleCare and Verizon. And, I called my credit card company and disrupted the upfront "service fee" Best Buy insisted I pay, even though the printer was under warranty. If you are buy anything from Best Buy be sure you will NEVER need service. HP is no better.

Disappointed with the return experience--Sterling store, not Gainesville I recently purchased a Microsoft Surface from the Gainesville Best Buy, intending to trade in my Alienware 16 R2. After three hardware repairs on that machine, I wasn't willing to chance a fourth. Unfortunately, that model is excluded from Best Buy's trade-in system (which raises its own questions), so I opted to return the unopened Surface just eight days after purchase. Per Best Buy's policy, returns can be processed at any location, so I visited the Sterling store while I was in the area. That's where the trouble began. The associate at the counter repeatedly brought up "frequent returns"--despite later acknowledging that I do not have a record of frequent returns. He then suggested I use UPS since it was an "online order," even though I explained I ordered the Surface for in-store pickup specifically because I prefer to support my local Best Buy. Rather than simply processing the return, a manager was brought in. Instead of resolving things, he echoed the same UPS suggestion and claimed their system had just been rebooted, making them unable to process returns. But the combination of misleading statements, repeated deflections, and unnecessary commentary made it feel like they were looking for reasons to avoid helping me. Worse, it came across as if they were insinuating I was trying to abuse the return system--without directly saying so. It wasn't about policy--it was about tone and attitude. I followed the rules. The item was unopened, well within the return window, and I acted in good faith. The experience stood in sharp contrast to the professional and respectful service I've consistently received at the Gainesville store. Disappointing to feel treated with suspicion instead of respect.

Am grateful for this store. To get in here, can be sometimes a logistical challenge. A very busy area. Yet with that being said, they had the Bluetooth speaker I was looking for. They were the only one. If other Best Buy's don't have it, more likely this one will. Once you get a parking spot, things do get better. Here there are a lot of helpful employees. There are enough folks working, which does save time. Also they had Sonic Olympics, that my son appreciates for the switch. It's a tidy location, and if in the area, you'll be happy to find it.

I ordered a laptop thinking that Best Buy used to be a legitimate business. I was surprised to discover the laptop would arrive the next day. Since it required a signature, I stayed home. Long story short, I'm waiting at home for the delivery around 3:00 pm when I get a message that says "delivery attempted." I immediately did everything I can to contact them through several different methods, but they insisted the delivery person "tried to deliver the package, and couldn't, so it is being returned." For some reason, they also said the return will take 10 days to process?! Obviously this is something I will be reporting to the bank and I am considering filing a police report about both Best Buy, Roadie, and "Danielle S." the "delivery driver" who "tried to deliver this to my house. Something super fraudulent is going on here. STAY AWAY. (Presumably the package came from Sterling, which is why the review is posted here.)

One of the worst best buy locations ever. I was here today 03/30/25 and the associate was just rude and lazy. People don't want to work anymore. The store had about 5 associates just standing there not helping anyone. When I walked in several of them saw and no one offered help. I was standing there for some time until someone finally had the decency to ask me if I needed help. It is a shame that with this much competition they still treat people like that, especially when so many associated are just standing there doing nothing.

Shopping for a TV can be very confusing. Fortunately, Alec works at the Best buy Sterling. The man know his TVs, OLEDS, QLEDS, all kinds of LEDS. Made recommendations, spent quality time with us. We walked out with a 65 inch TV that was in our price range and had the features we needed, very happy with price and more importantly the service.

I Had a phenomenal experience with Sabrina at the front of the stores checkout. It was busy, I had a pickup, an exchange and a purchase and Sabrina helped me navigate through this entire experience with ease. She kept composure and was upbeat, she didn't rush through my experience even with a line of people behind me and she is very kind. This experience has made my day and is why I will continue to shop at this Best Buy.

Misplaced my store credit issued by this Best Buy at this location. Spoke with Best Buy corporate on bestbuy.com and they said that the local Best Buy in Sterling could help me at least get the card number so I can buy something online. Its tied to my Best Buy Account. The manager at store said they could not help. All good. No more frequenting Best Buy.

Complete bait and switch! Rip off. I ordered a cooking range they charged me $ 349.00 for installation and waived the $ 59.00 haul-away charges since I'm a total tech member. I paid close to $ 4500.00 to wait for over 3 weeks and the delivery team came on Friday (05/31/24) for delivery and installation. They said they were subcontractors and did not care about #BESTBUY and wanted additional dollars for installation which I refused. They cunningly said that they would leave the appliance at my place and come back after I told them I had to speak to BESTBUY. I complained to the GM of the Sterling, VA store and told them the happenings. He said he would talk to the subcontractors and get back to us. He finally got back last night and wanted $ 500.00 extra. This is gouging. We politely refused his offer and asked for cancellation. I'm going with Costco which offers free delivery, installation, and haul away. Lost time, effort, and energy dealing with BestBuy. Do yourself a favor and never order any appliance that involves installation with Best Buy. Attaching my receipt as well.

I went there (Dulles Plaza), for some advice from their GEEK SQUAD and Computer sales team. The attendant, William, at the Geek squad desk was very helpful and advised me on how to rectify the situation without trying to "upsell" me. He did mention the Geek Squad options for the future which i will definitly use in the future.

To start I'm not sure how physical best buys are still open and doing business. I'm not an impatient person but only to an extent. I went in this morning to buy a gaming pc for my kiddo for Christmas. I didn't need to ask any questions, discuss the purchase with anyone, I knew what I wanted, had my best buy card out to make the purchase.. I'll add this was before I ordered a gaming pc that I was told wouldn't be able to be shipped on the promised date.. anyway back to the story..25 minutes I stood around and not one person was able to help me make the sale. So I left. I get it, no one wants to work. Your store is understaffed.. but a $1,200 purchase is a $1,200 purchase. Best buy do better or you'll be going the way of circuit city before you know it.

The Geek Squad came three weeks ago to assess what was needed. Their window of return was two weeks ago. They followed up with a day and time when I would be out of town. They came four days later, a week today. They installed a new TV, spond be etc. they said they would call back on Wednesday to see that all was running fine. No call. I watched NETFLIX 0n Wednesday. The TV worked but not the sound bar. On Saturday the TV came on for two minutes then it spontaneously shut down. I called Best Buy. No reply. I caled again today, one week later and they gave me a follow up appointment for a week from now!!!!!!! I objected///she got me a requested, but not a guaranteed visit, for Thursday between 12 md 8 PM. I said I was available until 5 PM. She said she noted that.request. The online announcement says -5 , They win...we lose. Find a local vendor.

I just had the worst merchant experience that I can remember. I bought an LG tv that was suggested to me by the Best Buy salesman. I told him that my one requirement was that I would be able to talk to Alexa. He assured me that I would be able to. The set was delivered and installed. The remote, however, showed no button to press which would allow me to ask Alexa to do her job. So we purchased another LG remote which was supposed to allow me to speak to Alexa. Only it did'nt work. After many hours on the phone with the Geek Squad we were told to go to the store, return the remote that came with the set and they would give me a remote that would work. We were assured that the info about the exchange would be the Best Buy computer. When I went there today the message was not in the computer and they never have LG remotes that they could give me off the shelf . ..... they could not understand why I was told that they would. They said that if I want a LG remote that can talk to Alexa I would have to buy a much more expensive set. (The carton that the set I bought came in says it has "Alexa built in.") I'm finished with Best Buy and its Geek Squad.

Sent me the wrong home sound system, bought a vizio and got a Sony instead, went to their store to return it, Spoke to the store manager, who seemed pretty clueless on how to handle a simple transaction and passed the buck over to their general manager. He sends an email after repeated emails from me and then disappears again. Best Buy should train their managers on customer service and teach them how to deal with paid customers. I still haven't received my product, and the general manager just disappeared. Took it up with my bank but what a bunch of hassles over their mistakes. This store deserves less than 1 star!

I'm going to thoroughly enjoy when this location becomes a satellite Warehouse for Amazon. Lacking in all common items. Lacking in customer service. All around garbage

So we've been here twice now in the past couple of months. I will be honest I think my trips to Best Buy used to be more frequent back in the day mainly because they used to have good deals on CDs. Remember those? Ok but its a new day and Best Buy has evolved. So on this trip we came looking for a few items for our TV. 1. was TV stand since the one we were using didn't quite fit our Fios Box and 2. other AV equipment, and we also needed some sort of wire for our other TV. We were promptly greeted upon entering and the sales folks asked if we were looking for any in particular. We were then whisked to the area of what we needed. The TV stand collection was ok, they didn't have a huge selection not that I was expecting one. Thankfully we did find on that worked. They brought out the box from the back and were able to pay for our purchases in the TV section. I still remember back in the day having to lug your stuff up to the front and go through those crazy check out lines with the price is right looking tags that told you what line number you were in. Then the gentleman even brought the item out to our car for us. Overall, I have to say I'm impressed with the level of customer service and how this place has evolved to meet the changing needs of consumers.

Stay away from this Best Buy, every time I brought up an item it was doubled the price listed on the label. Only reply I got was the prices aren't always marked right.

0 stars honestly. Curbside pickup function is messed up or something because I've made the mistake of ordering for curbside pickup and had to wait 20+ minutes before just going in the store myself to get the order. I did the check in process correct, spot, car size, car color on the site and also called into their "service line" which I don't think is directly connected to the store to tell them I'm waiting. They say "oh it'll be right out ma'am" yeah no. Plus Amazon prices are just so much better so in this day and age no reason to really need to go in store unless you need to see TV size in person or phone model or something. But again, go buy it from Amazon than waste your drive and time waiting for a product that's overpriced at a store that says they do curbside but really doesn't.

Perhaps the CEO if there is one should dial his/her own stores and experience the poor service. Don't they understand to inspect what they expect. Customer service is pathetic. Tried calling the store for three consecutive days to purchase a TV. Since Hubert Joly left the company, the service went south. Hedge fund ma be. Customer service does not matter. We shall see! Hubert Joly, former CEO and chair of Best Buy, says people are not a resource, they are the creative engine of innovation and change that companies urgently need.Dec 2, 2021 I would like to return the TV and buy another one from Costco. Incompetence, GM is not around. His voice mail is full and he does not respond to customer email. I have a TV purchased from Best Buy sterling that need to be hung and functional. Can't get anyone to respond. I would never go back there. Sterling VA.

I would give them a 0 if I could. Worst store - absolutely no courtesy or respect. I wanted to switch my phone service to Verizon. I waited in the line for customer service for about 15 mins. A customer service rep walks past me and ask the lady next to me if she needed any help. When she said I don't need any help then I mentioned to the rep that I needed help. So I explained her the situation with switching phone service. What I noticed is she was giving me wrong info she told me if I switched the service max I can per line is $800 and I had to stay with Verizon for 3 yr. When I informed her that I was at another Best Buy two days back and the rep told me it's $1000 per line and I had to stay with Verizon so 30 months. She told me that is not correct. So i asked can you please check. Then she logged into the system and reviewed the deal she agreed with me. Then I told her you had mis informed me earlier she obviously did want to agree that she was wrong. It's probably her ego. Then she claims she has been up till 3 am working at the store. Then she informs me I was rude to her. I explained her it's her who's was being rude. When she walked past me when I was next in line for customer service and started helping others. Her response to me was "we made eye contact" ! That is why she was helping, the other lady when that lady was not even looking at her . . At this point manager walks in and asks me to leave. What a manager he did not try to understand what led to this conversation or who was right vs wrong. How can his rep be ever wrong ! It's always the customer mistake. Don't shop here go else where where they treat customer with respect.

Bought a dishwasher from Best Buy Sterling. Their installation team succeeded in the installation on the 1st try, compared to Home Depot's "Professional Installation" jokers who came to our house THREE TIMES & failed to ever successfully install a dishwasher in our completely normal, noncustom kitchen. Kudos to Best Buy's installers; will not ever again pay Home Depot for "Professional Installation".

I spent over $25k on a home theater set up by Best Buy Sterling Magnolia. The initial set up was fine, but when the REL HT1508 subwoofer had a problem I was extremely disappointed with their follow-up and customer service. First, I called the Geek Squad and had to pay $150 for them to just come visit and diagnose the problem. Then technician then told me to bring it to the store to have it serviced as it was still under warranty. When I lugged the ~70lbs subwoofer to the store, they then proceeded to explain that due to their "internal process and liability issues" I needed to contact the manufacturer directly, ask for original packing materials/box, and do everything on my own. After spending $25k for the home theater and another $10k on a home wifi set up, I would have expected more in terms of clarity of process and also customer-focused attention once a problem occurred. I would not recommend Best Buy Sterling/Magnolia for any high-end customized set ups. Fine if you buy a one-off product, but for high end solutions/set-ups then expect customer service and any follow-up post sale you are on your own...

Super frustrating experience. Purchased Studio LG range with a promised delivery date. Date canceled & pushed 17 more days. I immediately called and secured a claim # and guarantee which could only be issued post delivery. The range is now delivered and the Best Buy help desk is (1) trying to renegotiate allowance (2) form. Supervisor is not available and they may call back in 48 hours. What the heck?!?!? I want it resolved now or pick up. Shame on Best Buy. After a frustrating day yesterday, today was a charm. One call & resolved. Thank you for stepping up and following through!

Love the price reduction policy here. We bought the Fitbit Charge 2, Whirlpool refrigerator water filter and Welch's gummy fruit snacks from $203 down to $123. The staff here are always kind and very informative. This is the reason why we come here.

My kids bought two acre gaming laptop: one does not work at all from the very beginning and the other one has problem after one month. We are misled by the so-called reviews which are actually written under certain incentives from the Acer manufacturer. Never buy Acer laptop!!

This store cancelled my order without notice or any type of explanations. Wasted my time.

It's​ sad that the Sterling location is 110% more helpful, friendly and cleaner than​​ the Reston location. The staff is friendly, the security​ (the employees in the yellow shirts) team even greets with a warm smile as you enter, and the overall environment​ is light. You can see that the employees still have their sense​ of humanity and their souls have not been sucked out. I have been in this location a handful of times (but will be making this my home location since I am DONE with the Reston​ crap show of a Best Buy). Each time I walk in I feel like I am more than​ a dollar sign. The staff is very knowledgeable​ and it doesn't​​ seem like they are annoyed about having to help their customers. ​ Recently, I needed a new screen protector for my iPhone X and a girl named Rachel (the supervisor of the mobile department) even put the screen on taking her time and making sure there weren't any bubbles underneath​ it. She smiled, asked if I heard about the newer iPhone that had been released and asked how I was liking my X. I really like the staff and the management at this location they make you feel like you are more than a potential sale but like a member of their family. I believe the Store Manager is called Obie or O.B. I assume he is the store manager but I have seen him wear a magnolia manager nameplate. All I know is he is doing a great job at this location and has won me over and restored my faith in Best Buy.

Beware of their sucky return policy. We tried to return an Amazon Fire Stick that was NEVER OPENED and they refused. They wouldn't even let us exchange it for something else. Their sucky return policy only allows you two weeks; other retailers allow you 30, 60, or 90 days. Costco allows up to one year. From now on we will only purchase electronics from Amazon, Costco, or Walmart. We will NEVER shop at Best Buy again and will cut our BB credit card into tiny little pieces. Can't wait until this retailer goes down the same path as Radio Shack and Circuit City.

Magnolia is not in the business of providing service after your purchase is paid for. My b&w 803 d3 were purchased in 10/19 from magnolia sterling. The treble and midrange stopped working in both speakers, under warrantee. It is impossible to contact magnolia sterling directly, you have to know the persons cell #. Even magnolias regional manager has been unable to make progress with Marcus, the sterling magnolia manager. 6 weeks of frustration! B&W has not made any progress with this so called authorized dealer for their products. Buyer beware.

Ali helped us buy a TV tonight - knowledgeable, patient, professional. The poor reviews I see for this location must be from before he started : Update: we ended up doing more research after our purchase and returning the TV. We couldn't get ahold of our sales guy on the phone and ended up going into the store repeatedly to get the return processed. Each time we were there we waited for quite a while. I still recommend Ali, but the rest of the experience...no thanks. We ended up buying our replacement online.

Went there today, Monday, at 1 pm just to buy a computer mouse. Was not offered any assistance, but no problem since I found the item on my own. Went to checkout and had to wait 15 minutes before I could pay and leave. Only one person working the register, and he was doing what was apparently the most complicated return in history. Plenty of employees milling around but none willing to take your money. By the time I finally left there were at least ten people waiting to checkout. Ridiculous; the customer service at Walmart is better ! I won't be returning to Best Buy....ordering from NewEgg is easier and better.

Came here a few times and had relatively the same experience each time. Pros: Nice and clean store. This seems to be the standard for most BestBuys and they uphold that. Cons: Wasn't Too pleased with the customer service. The employees seemed to try and avoid me as I wandered the store looking for what I wanted. The one time I was able to get someone's attention, they made some effort to be helpful. But for the most part it seems like a store full of employees that clearly want to be somewhere else, not sayin you HAVE to love you job, but atleast fake it.

If I could have award negative Stars I would. I bought speakers for my Chevy truck from best buy in Sterling Virginia. I have been on the phone over 3 hours being transferred at least six times trying to get an appointment to get the speakers installed. No one will help me. They just keep transferring my call and I wait and I wait and I wait and I wait. I am going there now to return the speakers and that is going to be the last time I ever walked into a Best Buy store. They are not interested in service they are only interested in selling you products. There are plenty of other retailers that I can buy speakers and washing machines and any other Appliance I want but I'm not going to Best Buy again EVER AGAIN!!!

This is my to go store for anything electric, phones and accessories. I love it! I have only dealt with two people there. I forget the young man's name but Ayisha has helped me with many things in the store. She has gone out of her way to help. Because of her, we purchased all of our appliances from Best Buy, we purchased a t.v. and sound system for our son (gift for his new home). She is now in phones and is doing excellent job there. She has helped my husband and I with our new iPhones and iPads. Taught us how to use Siri and work on both iPad and iPhone. What a wonderful young lady. She has been working with us for about 7 months and we are really happy that she is there. And she has a great attitude towards her clients. Doesn't matter where she is stationed, she goes above and beyond.

I went to the sterling location trying to find an extra battery for my camera. They didn't have it so They ordered to get shipped to my house. When the battery arrived it was the wrong one I went to return it and they said I can't return batteries. Like what kind of service is this? The return people and some of the employees are useless, they don't know anything about electronics . Maybe find a job somewhere else.

Worst store that I have ever been to. I went to the store to buy wireless earbuds and requested to see the product outside the box and they refused! They did not have the entire parts in display, I wanted to see the carrying case as well! Totally disappointed. How can you buy a product without seeing it?

DO NOT use the Geek Squad for anything. They require a none refundable $150 deposit for the "work" they do on your computer even if they can't fix the problem. They say you pay for this list of services that include a diagnosis that they say is vital. A list of services no one asks for and they use as an excuse to keep your money for doing nothing. A mom and pop computer store down the street, that I should have gone to first, asked for only a $50 deposit. The simple installation and repairs Geek Squad does, anybody could do. The hard stuff, they don't have a clue how to solve, they just keep your deposit and just tell you sorry. Go anywhere else to fix your PC or laptop.

Do not buy appliances here. Poor execution of the install and communication was lacking. The customer service is what is most disappointing. As consumers we have many options so we will make better decisions when it comes to home appliances and electronics.

The employees need to be more attentive to the customers. As I was checking in your mobile phone section the employee was literally on you tube watching videos and I was doing him questions about the item I was purchasing. If you don't want to work...stay home!.

Customer service is almost none existent. I paid $180 to have a TV installed via a wall mount. I asked for a three inch clearance at the bottom of the tv and my credenza. I needed this clearance for a sound bar that was to be installed at a later date. When the sound bar was delivered I realized I was only given 2.5 clearance. Now the sound bar blocks the on/off sensor for the tv. I have made three attempts to have someone come out raise and raise the tv. As I write this review I have been on hold for 15 minutes with the Geek Squad customer service...the phone rings and NO ONE picks up. It is apparent, Best But does not care how long I wait for service! FYI...the phone still rings.....

This review is about the Magnolia section of the store in particular. The staff are a disaster. Unknowledgeable and unhelpful - at times just rude. And manager Mike is as bad as any of them. Such a terrible store.

I had a great experience today at both the Best Buy in Reston and Sterling! I completely shattered my phone and headed to Best Buy for a new one. Reston didn't have the exact model I wanted in stock but Brandon (sp?) was super nice and helpful! He called the Sterling store and had the phone I wanted put on hold for me. I then made my way over to the Best Buy in Sterling where I met Alexis who helped me the rest of the way! Alexis was so nice and very patient! He answered all my questions and was super polite! I had a really great experience with Best Buy today!! Great customer service!!! Thank you so much!!

I went in the other day for a quick pick up at store. It did take a few minutes for someone to come help me. But then she was friendly and got me my stuff ASAP. Their are currently working on a new look inside the store and it looks better than any other Best Buy stores out there.

Great, friendly, and quick geek squad service. Everyone really knows there stuff and handles any problems I come up with very efficiently. The communication is great, they always let me know what is going on, when they think they will be done, and when they finish (usually earlier than expected!) This is my go to repair and service spot for my computer.

Worst delivery experience ever! I called several times to get updates on delivery time since I left work early for this delivery. I was told multiple times it would arrive by 1:30-2:00 & yet that didn't happen. They arrived at 5:30 which was not what I was told by 4 different Total Tech reps. Then the team arrived, with attitude at my door. No hi I'm from BB, no sorry I'm late NOTHING just attitude. I asked him to put on a mask he said he didn't have 1 even though the BB website said they'd come prepared as needed. He got PO'd that I told him he had to wear it after that he mumbled something about wanting to see the space, He then said he didn't have a ladder to access the dryer duct! What! How do you come so completely unprepared? He got mad, dropped the old unit he was to take away & said he wasn't doing the install! I've never had such rude, disrespectful treatment in my own home by anyone let alone someone I hired to do a job. The contract company that BB uses in our area needs to be changed out for a more professional company! These young guys look like they could be part of MS13 gang & acted as such! Completely unprofessional and constantly lying to the TT reps about their timing just to milk the payroll. No attempts by then to de-escalate the situation knowing I was not happy with the information that I received from TT about their arrival time. So, they took a bad situation & made it worse by not caring enough to handle it professionally & respectfully. They need to be replaced by a better company. My understanding from the local BB store is this is a very common event in our area & they have many issues with this contractor! Get a clue BB replace them or lose more business & money! Guess you don't really care enough about your customers to do this though.

I have made a lot of purchases here over time and am very happy with the merchandise and staff. I also appreciate the used electronics drop-off.

Best experience I've ever had at Best Buy. Michael and Corey were amazing and helped me with my returns and were very understanding. I can honestly say this is the only Best Buy I will come to you from now on. Best customer service very understanding and very polite. These two men need a promotion because they do outstanding work. Thank you guys so much!
