Eddie was a great help in finding me a good security system for my apartment that was still budget friendly. He was patient with us and answered all of our questions. read more

Avoid the manager Chris at all costs. You can't miss him, the slim shady looking dude with bleached white hair trying to hold on to youth with the tip of his fingers. He argues with customers, talks to you in a condescending manner and makes up policies to try intimidate you into not returning something. Don't believe me? Search other reviews with his name on here. Best Buy HAS to accept any return made online or ANY store so don't fall for the "you have to go to where u bought it" or "if you bought it online u have to ship it back" any store has to accept it. He just trying to manipulate his store #s read more

I came to this Best Buy location in Montclair to assist a friend with buying a refrigerator. It was Memorial Day and the store was busy. We were assisted by C-Lo aka Carlos and by the Manager, Richard. Both of these gentlemen were very helpful, courteous and professional. We found the unit that we wanted and made the purchase. The refrigerator was delivered promptly and professionally. It's experiences like this, that help me stay loyal to Best Buy. read more

Honestly almost everything is over priced for the conditions of the appliances..... Been looking for a new fridge and found it at the Lowe's outlet in Monrovia, shoutout to Lowe's! At this Best Buy location you pay more than what Lowe's outlet offers that's for sure. I did a comparison of models at each store from what I could find. There was nothing here that said it's a deal really. Nothing that says take me home! Better off buying new appliances at that point. I think the worst thing about it is you can't reach people in the store. Can get a little frustrating when trying to call for updates or check inventory. I tried calling prior and kept being rerouted to a different country. Plus when I went I spoke to a sales rep left my number in case they receive what I'm looking for and it's been weeks with no calls. Doesn't seem like anyone wants a sale. So anyways goodluck to those who attempt to find something here. Maybe it wasn't the right timing for me, but in my eyes total waste of time driving out! read more

I'd like to commend Chris, the mgr and Riley, the salesperson who had the patience and excellence in customer service to answer questions with my daughter on a call to help me decide between a computer desktop vs laptop. Ultimately, I spent $970 that's with 1 yr membership. Spending this much $, we want to make sure it's what we need and a salesperson who ensured all my answers or inquiries were answered is a plus. Riley provided me with info on the Geek # and services. Thank you. read more

Best Buy - Montclair - HP Desktop - storage 1024 GB - Electronics Near Me - Montclair, California

Stopped by here to pick-up a jump drive. When I walked up there was a line around the building, apparently for the new Nintendo switch. I walked in and wasn't greeted by anyone. The store is pretty basic and after walking around for a few minutes I finally found an available employee who directed me to what I was looking for. There was a small line to pay and I was out of there in about 20 minutes. read more

I called whom I thought was the store associate for a stock check, the lady I spoke to said they had everything I was looking for. Upon arrival the worker said they don't have anything and that they don't have phone operators. What a waste of time. read more

I'm giving one star to the customer service phone line because it's next to impossible to get real answers. The reps give vague, generic responses, and there's no way to reach the actual store. They can't transfer your call, and they can't help because they're working remotely. Zero stars for the general manager. He was unhelpful and dismissive during the midnight game launch. I didn't ask if the item was in stock; I asked if I could buy it if I was in line, and he gave me a bogus answer. He wouldn't even say when they'd start handing out tickets--just kept repeating "in a little while." We ended up in the wrong line because of his unclear instructions. Cody, however, deserves five stars. He was super helpful and took the time to find answers from the actual list of items. He wasn't rude or dismissive; he made sure we knew where to go. The staff working the Nintendo launch also get five stars. They had great attitudes, were helpful, and worked hard to keep the line moving smoothly. There was even a dedicated person answering questions, which was a big help (even if he should have been out there sooner). Their professionalism made up for a lot of the confusion. Overall, I'd give the phone line and the GM's in-store support zero stars, but five stars to Cody and the launch event staff who went above and beyond to help us. Phone customer service: 1 star General Manager: 0 stars Cody: 5 stars Nintendo launch staff: 5 stars If you average them out: (1 + 0 + 5 + 5) ÷ 4 = 2.75 stars Rounded to a standard star rating, that's about 3 stars overall. I wish these associates had a better boss. Sorry guys! read more

Idk about this outlet Best Buy I needed to flag the associates they where all watching a football or baseball game on the tvs instead of helping us. Was like are you getting paid to stand there huddled up like you're playing the game or focus on clients coming in?

Weird store where's management ha ha read more

‼Rude and Unhelpful Geek Squad Manager‼ I came in for a scheduled iPhone glass replacement through Apple. The Geek Squad manager, Natalie, immediately had an attitude. She told me I had to wait an hour in the store because of a "stolen device" timer--something no one mentioned before my appointment. When I fixed it in my car in two minutes and came back, she looked at me and walked away. When she finally resumed helping me, she claimed there was a system error and told me to call customer service myself, refusing to contact anyone internally. The whole interaction felt like I was bothering her by simply asking for help. Easily the most unprofessional service I've experienced from someone in a management position. read more

Nice and helpful people. Had an issue with my cell phone and they were quick to help me find accessories to solve my issue

11/19/23 Took my cousin to help us with getting our fridge & washer/dryer. This location is convenient because it's the closest to our new place. My cousin used to work at this particular store, too. We've gone to Home Depot, Lowe's & Costco to shop around for appliances. To date, we've bought appliances from Best Buy in the past & have had positive experiences so far. Hubby & I have somewhat of an idea which brands/models at least & waited a bit of time to take advantage of what is on sale. Luckily, we have the Black Friday deals going for us. Since my cousin used to work for this company, we have a bit of an edge to select which types of brand would be the best choices. The employee who helped us out was Nate. He was on the ball & he was quick to offer assistance when we inquired about what we're looking for. We chose Whirlpool for all 3 (fridge, washer, dryer). The best pricing was to bundle these, no interest financing for 2 years and receive a $250 gift card. Nate made it easy & I must say, this was surprisingly simple. I had expected it to be a long & painful process! The bonus, delivery & set up will be this Friday (day after Thanksgiving) & I couldn't be happier. 11/24/23 The day before (Thanksgiving) we received a text for the approximate time of delivery for today-between 7-12 am. This morning at 7:15, I received a cdd ad ll from Jose that they're arriving in 30 minutes. I started with a 4 star for this review but now tying everything together from browsing & the assistance from Nate & now the delivery, they've earned a 5 star rating overall. Happy with the service, product, delivery & installation. All of THIS is stressful enough, so Best Buy made it easier & less of a burden. Highly recommend them for purchasing & having the appliances delivered. Thank you very much! read more

Bought an open box washing machine, was told it had been looked at, and everything was working fine. NOT true soap/ softener try was NOT working. I called the Best Buy number and had them refund me, they said they would send someone out to pick up the defective washed. In the meantime, I had to go into the store and purchase a NEW machine . Fine did that the same day I called. Got the new appliances delivered today. So far, there are no issues. Bur I call to see when. They will pick up the defective one, and they say it was NEVER put in the system! WTH? So I ask for.a.pick up ASAP and was told I couldn't get a day because it takes 24 hrs to up date there system before I can make a.pick up appt!????? So what am I to do with the defective unit? It won't fit in my garage? NO answer other than they will call you with a pick up!? It's a Shit Show! With NO compensation to me for.sitting here waiting or having a washer taking up room till they can can whenever that is? BEST BUY gey you're shit together!! Also, I bought the BEST Buy Plus as I was told it comes with "perks", so far, it hasn't, and I'm canceling! read more

Best Buy - Montclair - Broken washer - Electronics Near Me - Montclair, California

Please save yourself a lot of trouble. Do not use Best Buy in Montclair. Absolute worst Customer Service I've ever experienced.

Horrible customer service and return policy. Tried to return something that broke as I was removing from packaging on day 29 after purchase. They said their return policy is only 15 days?! Never heard of such a poor return policy. read more

I recently visited Best Buy 6/14/24 7:41 PM with the intention of purchasing a refrigerator, but my experience left me extremely disappointed due to the lack of customer service and apparent disregard for customer satisfaction. When I entered the appliances area, I noticed that the employee assigned to assist customers was engrossed in her phone and showed no interest in offering help. Despite my obvious need for assistance, the employee remained on her phone. Frustrated, I approached the manager to report the situation. The manager called the employee and informed her that a customer required help. To my disbelief, even after this notification, the employee continued to use her phone for another five minutes without acknowledging me. When I returned to the manager to express my concerns, she dismissively suggested that the employee was likely looking up something on her personal phone. This excuse seemed implausible to me, especially since Best Buy provides computers for such tasks. It was clear that neither the employee nor the manager prioritized customer service. This experience is disheartening because it reflects a broader issue in modern retail where businesses expect customers to spend money without providing quality service in return. The attitude displayed by the manager and the employee suggests that this particular Best Buy location does not value its customers. Every employee represents the company, and in this case, the representation was that Best Buy doesn't care whether you make a purchase or not. Until this issue is addressed, I will not return to this Best Buy location. I suspect I am not the only customer who has experienced such poor treatment. Customer service should be a priority, and it is disappointing to see a well-known retailer fail in this regard. THEY REALLY NEED 0 STARS ALL STAFF read more

Then was sent to Geek Squad as I wanted full service of installation and care. Victor took great care of all issues and explanation. Braved the Black Friday sales of 2024.

I'd give 0 stars if possible. I placed an online order for a new macbook pro upwards of $2,000, along with a trade in of my old one. I decided to keep my old one since they only offered $100. The manager named Chris was extremely rude and condescending. Didn't even try to help me. Kept telling me i'd have to cancel the order but insisted that I could just simply repurchase it at that moment. (I got it financed thru PayPal and it was on sale. My financing doesn't cover another purchase so while waiting for a refund i'd lose out on the sale) I explained this to the manager but he refused. I know this guy racially profiled me and thought i was committing fraud. I leave to my car to cancel the order and just get it delivered but i cant now. So i go back inside, they called the Shift Lead named Frankie. I explain to her the situation, and I was given my order with 1 minute. I will be calling corporate. read more

Placed an online order due to it stating it would be ready for curbside pick up in little as an hour. 2 - 2 1/2 hours later item still not ready. Contacted customer support to cancel the item . They refused to cancel the order stating to wait until my order is ready so I can pick it up. Drove 50 miles and item was never ready. Avoid this location. read more

I just got home after the worst customer service experience I've had in a while at the Best Buy located off Arrow Hwy & Central in the Montclair store. I went to buy an Ethernet adapter. Of course, I checked online prior to coming to make sure that the item was stocked. Red flag #1, I had to find the item on my own. Not one employee in sight. Red flag #2, checkout. One cashier. ONE! After 20 minutes of just standing there, I politely requested that a second cashier be paged. Two so called "managers" advised me that "they're short staff & no one else is literally available?" Finally, it was my turn & I stepped up to the cashier. I asked if they could comp me a lousy $2 for my trouble. "Oh no, they said, that would require a manager's approval"? OK. I thought I WAS speaking to a manager? So, just to get the Hell outta there, I paid $16+ change for a Ethernet adapter that's probably made by Chinese kids in a sweat shop for what, 25 cents? Disgusting. p.s. Understandably, I was fuming when I got in my car. I called Best Buy customer service dept. to log a formal complaint. FYI, their customer service is in India. I have the utmost respect for the folks working customer service: stateside or wherever. I've worked it myself. However, the woman help me had a thick accent & I couldn't understand her. I asked her if I could give her my cell# to forward it to corporate for a callback. What do you think she said??? I just hung-up. Moral of this story: save your hard earned cash & patience & shop somewhere else for your electronic needs. Thanks for letting me vent. read more

I wish that I was able to give them a score in the "negative number" scale (like - 100,000). I was trying to purchase a Power Cable for a PS5 (and I repeated the words POWER Cable THREE DIFFERENT TIMES -- and when I spoke to the person on the phone; they said one was "in-stock" and forced me to go through a LONG DRAWN OUT Process -- where I had to "Type" on my phone (after a Link was sent to me) a LOT OF INFORMATION on my phone WHILE I WAS DRIVING -- and then when I arrived to pick up my order -- the person whom i SPOKE TO ON THE PHONE Placed THE for a DIFFERENT ITEM!?!) -- which meant that I had to wait around to see if they even HAD what I asked for (WHICH THEY DID NOT -- So I had to settle for a "Generic Knock-Off" that works -- but which WAS NOT What I Asked For. Extremely terrible experience!!! Beware : - ( read more

Really screwed over by these folks. Over the years I've bought at least 40K worth of goods. Bought a high end home theater receiver. It quict working. I had the manufacturers warranty on it. It took eight months to get it back and it still doesn't work correctly. Geek Squad from BB said it never will. Need to trade it for a Yamaha. Again, under warranty, Best Buy Says no! Ignoring their own Geek Squad recommendation. These people do not have good intent! Avoid at all cost! read more

They offer AppleCare repairs. But it's not made clear that they have to order the parts for your phone and you have to leave your phone there with them in order to have it repaired. For all that drama might as well do the $99 replacement. They don't allow a direct call to the store so finding out this information was a big waste of time in itself of finding that planning my day around this appointment would also be a waste of time because the person that does the repairs didn't bother to show up for work today and they waited an hour before my appointment to even call and notify me of this. This store is definitely a disappointment all around. read more

This store is the absolute worst store I've ever stepped foot in. I just spent 4 hours at this location dealing with gear squad to still walk away upset and with no resolution insight. I came in for a car audio Geek Squad warranty I have that was purchased in 2021. The warranty is supposed to cover accidental damage and manufacture defects. I was checked in and the car audio dept took my stereo our and took my stereo up to the front counter for Geek Squad where I was greeted by Natalie a Geek Squad "consultant". Natalie proceeded to tell me that they are going to send my product out for a GSP warranty through Pioneer and said more than likely wouldn't be covered due to damage. Along with this claim they stated my car would be left with a hole where stereo would be on my car for upwards of 4 weeks. Geek Squad customer support on the phone stated that they would put a loaner in or replace it the same day. I questioned why this was happening I didn't purchase a extended warranty through Pioneer and the rep stated that's the process. I asked to speak to a store manager and that took a few minutes. Francis then came to talk to me spilling the same "procedure" that the rep did to me then offered to sell me a stereo. Francis is not the store manager I found that out from a different rep in a different department in the store. Once I didnt accept that as a answer I was told to reach out to Jason Simon which is the operations manager who has no schedule and the number on his card is for the main store which transfers to best buy customer support and you end up speaking to ppl in a different country that can not help you in any way shape or form. So I finally cave in send the unit and they check the stereo in saying that I told them the sun damaged it. The customer service is terrible and a majority of the ppl lie about names and positions. I fully expect to to get told to pound sound in 4 weeks. read more

Richard in appliances is a sweetheart. He went above and beyond and did everything in his power to help us with a frustrating issue.

I went to Verizon on Monday and was discouraged to buy a phone from them because of the customer service. So I thought I would stop in to Best Buy and hoped I would get questions answered that Verizon failed on. Im glad I came in, I stopped an associate to ask questions. She was the best help and customer service that day. All the questions I asked, she was able to help-the whole time she was patient and very friendly. I asked for her card before I left because I wanted to write a review , Thank you Felicia Urso! You were very polite and helpful, it was much appreciated. read more

Ordered a dash cam on line as it clearly stated that it would be delivered the next day. 4 days later, no dash cam. They can't tell me when it will be shipped. Because the order status is "pending ", they can't issue a refund. I had several other options for getting the dash cam - it's a common item. Now I'm held hostage waiting for Best Buy to send the item I already paid for. Calling just created frustration. No one is able to help. 3 different people told me I just had to wait until I received the item. Then I could bring it into the store, wait in line, and return it. I feel like I ended up on a scam website selling fake goods. They keep telling me it will be shipped soon, yet nothing happens. They bait you in with a delivery date they have no ability to meet. Once they have your money, they no longer care. 06.26.24 Bumped up the rating due to the professionalism of the tech that installed the cam. I finally received the Dash Cam late yesterday and was able to keep the rescheduled appointment for installation today. The installation experience was great. The tech was very knowledgeable. The cam is installed and working properly. Very clean looking with no loose wires. He took his time walking me through the features of the camera and the app. A refreshing change from the purchase process. This guy should be running the place. read more

The store manager Chris is a compulsive liar and argues with the customers. He was was arguing with my wife stating flat out lies about corporate policies. I was on the phone with corporate for a transaction I did the day prior and he denied the return and started making up polices and saying we were buying a tv from from a grocery store and we must not know anything about tvs. Avoid this store at all cost. Chris is down right disrespectful, rude and oblivious to how customer service works. Corporate did a decent job filing my complaint. My request for asking for a callback from his boss was denied but hopefully this reaches the manager and they can reach out because no customer deserves to be treated this way. They even put my tv on a cart and told my wife they weren't going to load it anymore. They are childish and should have a coaching on how customer service works. Again AVOID!!! At all cost this locati read more

My wife's wallet was stolen and the thief attempted to use her cards at this location. The best buy associate let this person try card after card and didn't care to ask for this person's ID. Luckily the bank blocked the transactions. It is also impossible to call and talk directly to the store which is frustrating because I wanted to tell them someone was in the store trying to use my wife's credit cards. I will never shop at a best buy again. read more

I was sold a unsafe product the wireless beats pods. I found out today online that they cause cellular brain damage. Instead of just refunding my money, the sales manager is making hunt for a number to find the executive that will refund my purchase. Called the customer service number, it said it would call me back in April 3 minutes. No call back. Called again, pushed the 1st prop, the lady said she would connect me directly to the headquarters. She transferred me to Canada. Calling back again, this time they will call me back in approximately 11 minutes. At 3:55 pm pst. It is now 4:20, no call back. I asked to speak to another manager, Staci says she will talk to me as soon as she is finished with a customer. Derrick Stevens the sales manager said that I am not allowed to speak to any other manager, because he will simply over ride their decision. He asked me to to leave since I am no longer a customer here he says. 4:24 no call back. Calling again.4:39, just logged a complaint, the lady said that I will get a call back in 24 hour. When I asked for her name and complaint number, I received a disconnect dial tone. https://twitter.com/nwob0t/status/1573779390923788293?s=46&t=iH9YX44OMADHMOAXGzZFtg It's been over 24 hours, still no call back.

The Best Buy credit card system needs some real help! My credit score is over 830 yet I was only approved for a $1000 limit. I'm wanting to buy $2500+ of appliances and get 10% off with my first credit card purchase. They won't increase my limit for at least four days?? I don't intend to give up over $150 of discount so will have to reschedule appointments, make yet another trip to the store, and hope that the credit card office can increase my limit. I have doubts. The store employees on the other hand, were very helpful! But if their credit card office can't handle it then there is NO purchase. Be alert with the store's offer for a credit card. Promise me a 10% discount? Then come through! read more
