Who knew high performance laptops would be such a pain in the butt to find a AC adapter/charger for?! I went out of town and forgot both my charger and docking station at home. The only computer store I could find in the high desert was a Best Buy. I looked up the wattage I needed and figured 100W would be fine. Well, 100W was not enough for a high performance laptop like the Dell Precision 5690. The 100W got me through the day, however, I kept getting messages from my laptop power couldn't be optimized. A few weeks later, I found the boxed charger in my trunk and had forgotten to return or exchange. I decided to go to my local Best Buy in Costa Mesa to see if anything could be done. George in customer care and was so upbeat and friendly. I explained my situation and he carefully reviewed the package. He was curious to see what I was running since it seemed 100W would work on just about any laptop. He chuckled when I told him. I guess the man knew a little about laptops lol I SO appreciate his help as not only did he resolve my unfortunate situation, but did it with such care and style. I've purchased most of my electronics from Best Buy (last purchase was a nice 65in OLED LG tv which had great value with beautiful picture and sound). I will continue to do all my electronics shopping here because the customer service is second to none. Shout out to you, George. Thanks again! Plus, how can you not go to Best Buy when it's so nostalgic? I don't know how many hours I'd spend here checking out all the latest CDs and DVDs released. So many fond memories! Highly recommended. read more

Best Buy - Costa Mesa - Storefront from the roof parking lot - Appliances Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

We ordered 2 wine refrigerators 3 weeks ago that were due for delivery on May 11. I received a call today from someone who clearly has no idea what customer service is and they told me they me delivery I was expecting in 2 days was being pushed out 2 weeks because the manufacturer just shipped the unit. So we are getting one refrigerator on Monday and the other one in 2 weeks.... They of course had no idea what went wrong or why they are telling me about this 48 hours before I am getting f my complete delivery. The worst part is they clearly don't care because they have no idea what customer service means and it's truly very unfortunate because they don't know how to take care and support their customers. Plus they will never respond to this review due to there lack off concern for the customer.... read more

We got an amazing TV at a great price, communications were clear, and Customer Service was ready. Nikki was especially helpful - she saved us from making an expensive mistake! We were going to drive our TV home laying down, versus standing on its edge. She advised us that there's a good chance of breakage, and it wouldn't be covered by the return policy. Nikki got us set up with free delivery! read more

I don't know how I would accurately rate this store. I bought a Lenovo Yoga laptop through the Irvine store, and since they didn't have any in stock, I was sent to this location to pick it up. Pickup was smooth. Then to Geek Squad. Had good help from agents at front desks, Isaiic (?). Next day, when I came to pick up my computer, I had good help from Csy for a little while, then he left. Luis stepped in and he was very great and helping with all the issues with Microsoft. Luis was very patient and worked with me to resolve all issues. Got my laptop and came home to find out the laptop had no sound, whatsoever. I went through the Settings, fiddling around for 3 hours until midnight and still unable to fix the sound problem. Brought it back to Geek Squad Irvine/Lake Forest and they couldn't fix it either. Was told later that it's the laptop that was the issue and to return it! Then we had Angel order another one. Went and picked it up at the Mission Viejo store and brought it back to Irvine for Geek Squad to set it up. Lots of work and time involved. Not sure if it's really the laptop or Geek Squad installation agent's issue? But the GS agents at the front desk of this location are helpful though. read more

Complete BS they canceled my order when my email receipt showed the item was available for pick up until yo day. Mind you I bought the items at a discounted price and now is on a higher price the advised me to repurchase and they will gladly replace like wtf price changed already and even if it doesn't and still honor my discount , I wouldn't have the money to buy it today since of if I return item through the app the money won't be back on my card right away to purchase today. We travelled 50 miles to pick it up because our reciept showed we have til today for pick up and then they say order has been cancelled that they only held it til yesterday ?!!!! They just wanna make more money through re purchase ! read more

If I could give Best Buy minus 20 stars, I would. My husband bought me a camera for Mother's Day for my work, and I was so excited to open it. The box felt unusually light, so I simply opened it to make sure the camera was actually inside. I never used it. The very next day, I found the exact same camera online for significantly less money -- and it even included batteries, stands, a carrying bag, and about 15 additional accessories. I went back to the Best Buy in Costa Mesa and asked if they would match the price and include the accessories so I could keep the purchase with them. They refused. Not only would they not work with me, they charged me a $300 restocking fee on an UNUSED camera purchased the day before. Absolutely unbelievable. The manager's attitude was dismissive, rude, and completely unhelpful. Customer service at this location is a disgrace. I'm now looking into filing in small claims court because this felt like a complete bait-and-switch situation. Buyer beware -- shop anywhere else but Best Buy in California. THE WORST! read more

Really misleading AT&T sales team. They told me "AT&T will give you Visa pre-paid cards to pay off the balance on your Verizon phones if you switch to AT&T." What they didn't tell me was that it takes 10 weeks to receive the Visa cards after you switch. My remaining $3,500 balance to Verizon is due 30 days after switching. So it isn't actually possible to use the AT&T Visa card to pay off my balance. I have to front the $3,500 and still wait for AT&T to deliver the cards. I guess I can use them for groceries then? read more

I'm not sure why this location has several bad reviews. I went yesterday, on Mother's Day, to get a new computer and printer, and everyone was super helpful and attentive. I needed a very basic all in one computer and 3 in 1 printer. As soon as I arrived I was immediately greeted by the lovely Matthew who was wearing an HP badge and said "I'm The Printer Guy but I'm also a huge nerd so I can help you!". And he did. 30 min later I walked out with exactly what I needed. No upsell, no pushing extras, just a very affordable all in one to serve my at home needs. Issac, the cashier was also super helpful and friendly, he went to the back to locate the model I needed. So I'm not sure why all the hate. These reviews almost scared me away, I'm glad I went anyway. Don't be worried, my experience was 10/10. read more

It's your very standard Best Buy, located nearby South Coast Plaza. I was looking to purchase a camera, but the original location didn't have it, so they placed a pick up order for this location. This location has a huge parking lot, that doesn't get too busy, so parking is super easy. The pick up area is small, and it looked a little unorganized. The person who helped us looked a bit lost, even when we provided him with the receipt and name for the pick up. It took a bit of time, but we were able to pick up our items. Still really friendly service. Side note, Best Buy tends to have pretty good deals similar to those online, and if you're someone like me who wants to physically pick up the item, they're a really great option! read more

Good service. But i gottta say im pretty disappointed cause I felt some dishonesty from one of your employees. They signed me up for the credit card without really being clear on what that meant, i should've been smarter, having read all the details. But after he signed me up he looked at his coworker and gave a heads up and a wink, affirming that he just sucked in another person on the cash credit card you guys do. Again its my fault for signing up, but I feel it was very sly and immature of the employee. read more

Love coming to this store. Its neat. Organized and clean. There is always parking available. The geek squad always an their job doing what they do. And I always find what I am looking for. Thank you BEST BUY!!! read more

My husband and I purchased a high end $1,400+ Bosch dishwasher from them (order number xxx 250197) and within a few months (Under Warranty) it broke and the rack fell on my daughter's arm and hurt her, as we were loading it together because the back clip piece just randomly broke making it unusable. Oh and the side of the handle randomly came off under warranty as well. The Bosch tech came out and said yes the clip issue a known problem and they would be in contact me when the part became available because he didn't have the part to fix it. This was months ago. I've been chasing them for help since November 2025 and the refuse to uphold their warranty. Every time IC all, Bosch keeps saying they will call me when the part becomes available but they never do for 4+ months. I'm a working mom of kids and have had to spend 10+ hours of my life chasing them to make this right and they do not care. I will never buy another Bosch dishwasher again and will make sure all of my friends and clients know about this as well. I'm so disappointed and cannot believe how terribly I've been treated. read more

Don't spend money here. They'll take your money gladly, but no one here, from sales to management cares about doing anything for you. Even the general manager couldn't care less about his job. I spent close to 10k on 2 washer/dryer sets, 3 TV's, and they treated me during the process as if I were a peasant. It's unprofessional corporate joke. read more

The service was great and the person who helped me was very nice, but I received the wrong color for my iPad Air. I was excited to receive the starlight color only to realize when I got home that it was the silver color. I know it sounds ridiculous to complain about but I was looking forward to it. I realized I should have checked while I was at the store but it didn't occur to me that they would get it wrong. Very disappointed read more

Bought a new computer hp, have never used it and I had to take it in into Geek Squad to get fixed. Wasn't running right. super slow. Want all to know you have a 60 return policy. No one ever mentioned that or even on the paper work, if i'd know i would have returned it. I try not to shop at Best Buy because their customer service is so poor. read more

I made an appointment and Drove all the way out here to have the geek squad fix my phone's battery. Clerk said they didn't want to do it since they might damage the phone. That's how much faith they have in their tech's ability. They would rather not make a sale and get a 1 star review than trust their technician's skill. They wouldn't take my money for a service I needed done. My appointment was at 2:20 pm Sunday Nov 16 2025. read more

Two great experiences. First with Noah of the Geek Squad. He helped to diagnosis and treat my laptop. Second was Rey in appliances. He helped to pick out a microwave. Both gentlemen definitely know their stuff! Had answers to the plethora of questions I hurled at them. They were both knowledgeable, friendly, professional and polite. I'd definitely work with them again!! read more

Buyer beware!! Best Buy has a policy of allowing third party vendors to sell on bestbuy.com. When you have an issue Best Buy is of zero help. They tell you to deal with the 3rd party directly. They refuse to help or be involved. They changed the return policy to 15 days for 3rd party purchases. I'll never purchase from them again. read more

Bought an HP computer from them. It died in less than a month. Took it back only to be told they have a 2 week return policy. Then asked me to pay to have it fixed since they wouldn't take it back. Nope. So they sent it somewhere. Now, after 6 weeks + I have no computer and they say they lost mine that was sent out. No offer to help or replace or refund. Had to go to my credit card company to try and get my money back. Since I'm a small business I've had to buy another computer. It wasn't an HP and it wasn't from Best Buy. Never again. read more

Not sure why this stores ratings are low, for us the experience of buys new kitchen stove was very good. Review Update: The review below was for the purchase of our stove. What I am adding is their very poor delivery service. First we were given the wrong delivery date. Paperwork stated 2 different dates so we were confused and waited. When they did deliver they measured the door ways to see how wide they were and then stated they were not able to bring it in because it was too wide. Now talk about lazyness, they just didn't want to bring it in by opening the box. Oh by the way was smashed and resulted in the stove being dented. I had to move the stove in myself and took it out of the box and it fit just fine. Called them to explain and they are brining out a new one, free installation and taking the dented version back. Should have never been this way. We looked around first before starting to ask questions. The young lady in the appliance department was very helpful in explaining all of the oven features and options. We got what we wanted and the stove top color and we're very pleased with the cost. Sorry Samsung, your items are nice but they suck and break down too much and your repairmen suck even worse. So we got a model and gets delivered this week. read more

I paid $1,900 in cash for an unlocked phone at this store. Only three days later, I returned to bring it back. That's when I was told I could not get my refund in cash, but only by check. This was never disclosed to me at the time of purchase. If it had been, I would have reconsidered paying in cash. Instead, I was misled. When I questioned this, the store manager claimed all employees tell customers about this policy -- which was absolutely false in my case. Being lied to on top of being denied my cash back is completely unacceptable. I was depending on that money, and this delay caused me unnecessary stress. The way I was treated made me feel dismissed, disrespected, and possibly discriminated against. For a company of this size, customers spending nearly $2,000 should not be treated this way. I expect corporate to address this issue immediately. Refund policies must be explained up front, and managers should be held accountable when they misrepresent the truth. What happened to me was unfair and has destroyed my trust in this company. read more

i purchased a new hp laptop and the computer would not show pics i sent from my phone. i took my laptop in twice the geek staff member said it was my phone that was having a problem , so i purchased a new phone and still didn't work .the geek guy was talking to other customers when i had a appointment. he was rude and just looked at my computer for a few mintues and said there was nothing wrong with it. he said no need to leave the laptop after just looking at it 5 mintues. not a really good tech service for other problems than tranfer data and minor repair. read more

The delivery was pushed back and not given any warning. The phone number they have you call for support has you on wait for over 30min without call back option.

It took a team to help me out at the Best Buy Costa Mesa. I worked with Erik, Michael, Vanessa, Alex, and Leilani, each of them with their own ways of helping out, some helping out better than others. I got hooked up really fast, a little too fast with the iPhone 16. This was connected by Erik. Erik was so knowledgeable and fast however he talked way too fast!!! I mean, I could barely keep up, he was extremely quick. However, he just seemed so tired, leaning all over the desks while helping me out, waiting for the next prompts on the computer screen. Erik went so fast when it was time to take the next step in my transaction that he accidentally ended up cutting the service to my current phone when information was needed later to set up my new phone, it wasn't that big of a deal, but he needs to slow down, I get that the store is busy, but that's how mistakes are made. Erik ended up leaving Michael with this problem because he had to go on break. Michael helped finish up the transaction, Michael was upbeat and Awesome, cool guy. Micheal helped me pick the right Apple watch series 10 to go along with my iPhone 16, good job Michael, great customer service. Vanessa also chimed in to help Michael with questions that he had. Vanessa looked super dead in the eyes no personality, but she knew her stuff, extremely knowledgeable gal. When I came back to pick up my watch on Wednesday as the Apple Watch had to be ordered, I was handed off to Alex, as the cashier associate who was working with me had no idea what was going on. I actually ended up getting denied a second line for my Apple Watch (no specific reason, I was told that it happened sometimes). I was handed off to Alex, who basically was staring at the computer screen with no communication whatsoever. I stood there for like a couple of minutes wondering if he was going to say anything to me about the situation. He was also looking around every so often at everyone else while trying to concentrate on my situation which was not too cool. Alex had absolutely zero smiles and he was dead in the eyes. Leilani then took over to activate my watch and create a new line for me. Leilani was extremely serious, without any smile and minimal personality whatsoever, she got me in and out with a new line, and I was able to set my Apple Watch up. Leilani knew her stuff, very knowledgeable gal very straightforward no frills. As I was waiting there with Leilani, there were a couple of Best Buy associates (I'm assuming have been clocked out) having a conversation so loud I could barely hear Leilani give me the information I needed. At one point one of the associates, even looked at me and laughed in my face, as if I give a crap about their conversation. I'm just trying to figure out how to get this Apple Watch going so I can continue my day lady! You get what you want here you get the fast paced service but as far as customer service, these people have basically no personality. These Best Buy Associates probably see so many people, helping them in and out of the store, that you can tell they're completely over their job even though they know so much! The customer service here ranges, and the products work great, so far so good. I am very happy with my iPhone and my Apple watch and it saved me time from going to the Apple Store and Verizon so good job on that end Best Buy Costa Mesa! read more

I very rarely write reviews, but I hope this helps prevent others from being taken advantage of. I would strongly caution against bringing your phone to Best Buy for repair, especially if it's still under warranty. I brought in my iPhone, which had no visible damage, just a screen that wasn't responding. Victor inspected the phone and initially told me everything looked good and that it should be covered under the first-year Apple warranty. He then took it to the back, which is not video-monitored according to the manager, and when it was returned, there was suddenly a small scratch on the back of the phone that hadn't been there before. At that point, Victor changed his stance and said the repair would no longer be covered under warranty due to the scratch, and that I would now need to pay $650 out of pocket. I spoke with the store manager, who offered no help or resolution. I left feeling confused and honestly dumbfounded. Thankfully, I went straight to the Apple Store, where they examined the phone and repaired it within 2 hours at no charge. Please be warned, if your iPhone is under warranty, go directly to Apple. read more

My Best Buy Credit Card was hacked and a purchase was made online on 3-14-25 to purchase Apple head phones. You allowed someone who was not me to pick them up at your Costa Mesa, CA location. I did not purchase these and I did not pick them up. The credit card gave me a credit back and is now resending the credit and charging for something I never bought or received. Your credit card ppl refuse to help me. They want a police report. This is total fraud. I received a new card and you can see my history. I do not purchase anything online with Best Buy. I've had this card since 2017 and never once bought anything online. THis is wrong on you part. Worst customer service ever. You want me to pay $533.35 for something I never bought. update: I have filed a police report. You would think that policy would be to ID who ever is picking up over $500 worth of online goods. Was the person who picked this order up a 5'11", 55 yr old, blonde, blue eyed woman? I bet it wasn't. Your employees don't even bother to verify it was indeed me. No wonder fraud is ramped. read more

Horrible customer service. Called and asked if I'm able to have assistance with printing something they assured me I am able to. Drove all the way there for them to tell me they are unable to. First went to front desk and then geek squad. They refused to help. Said go to staples. After I called and told them the situation they assured me it wouldn't be an issue. Then I go into the store and have absolutely no help. They were extremely rude and disrespectful. Absolutely no help. Guy in the geek squad glasses and long hair was rude and dismissive! Horrible and I mean horrible customer service!!!!!!!!!! read more

No, they didn't have what we were looking for, but that might just be the nature of technology. My son and I were hunting for a charging block that has a dual port for two different USB sizes. Nope, only for one or the other. We found one for the car, but not to plug into the wall. I ended up buying a regular block for the standard USB and an adapter for USB-C, just for versatility. read more

Never would I ever shop with this company again. They have a 15 day return policy...15 days. They make you pay a membership if you want to have a longer return policy it's so ridiculous it's almost funny- except it isn't But They Do have an Arrogant "don't give a care about you" type manager" so that's fun! They are one of those reminders why so many people shop with Amazon. You don't have to interface with the kind of people that work here. i'll keep the boxes I didn't open and was only a few days out of their return policy but no thanks. Even though they didn't send the correct colors of what I ordered and when I originally called the store I was redirected to a guy in India only to be transferred to a department that wasn't open. Fun again. So I went to the store and got what I got customer service wise Not a "Best" anything at Best Buy! read more
