All my reviews are usually 5 stars, I like to be the positive reviewer, because seldomly people are. THIS PLACE THOUGH... I have mixed reviews for this place. I visit not knowing if it's going to be a miserable experience or a great one. Some of the employees go out of their way to help, some are condescending a$$H0l$. NEGATIVE- I recently purchased Microsoft Surface Laptop and it stopped working after two days. Took it back to Best Buy and the Geek Guy wasn't helpful at all and rather dismissive. He ended up saying it would cost me $100 dollars to reboot it... really? I wasn't about to pay more money on a new purchase. I left extremely disappointed to say the least. POSITIVE- Came back the next day, spoke to store manager, got a solution and was in and out in less than 20 min. NEGATIVE- I went in today and as I tried to pay with two printed gift cards they informed me they couldn't use them because they didn't have a barcode. They asked me if I had saved the e-mail where I got the giftcards from, as they were sure there was a link he was supposed to press on with barcode (because my husband is obviously an idiot that can't successfully print giftcards from an e-mail). Unfortunately, my husband likes his inbox empty and, of course, he had deleted it. The man checking me out then questioned me and schooled me on why would anyone delete an email with giftcards before one had actually used them... what if I had lost them? (because I'm obviously an idiot that misplaces giftcards...). There were 3 people that came to assist the guy checking me out (including a store manager) and NOT ONE offered a solution, the store manager even said that since my husband had deleted the e-mail there was nothing he could do to help me. Period, go home and try to fix it ourselves. We will see you soon, when you have giftcards with barcodes on them that we know how to use. NOT ONE suggested I go online to order the stuff for a store pickup and pay with the giftcards so I could walk out with my items. (This occurred to me later, as I was ordering the stuff online and happily paying with the giftcards). They ALL, however, made me feel like I was an idiot, it was MY mistake for not having saved the freaking e-mail and not their mistake for producing useless printable gifcards, and the fact that their answer was "nothing can be done" just infuriated me. POSTIVE- It's 5 minutes from my house(?) I don't know.. I needed to balance the negative above... read more

Do not, I repeat DO NOT purchase Best Buy's Protection Plan on any appliance. Instead, purchase it directly from the appliance manufacturer. I purchased a GE refrigerator from Best Buy, and added their protection plan. My fridge developed cooling issues after the manufacturer warranty expired, but still under BB's protection plan. They sent their Geek Squad out 4 times to effect a repair. They could not fix it. BB then started sending out a 3rd party appliance repair company. I asked over and over again for BB to replace my refrigerator. After a total of 11 visits over 3 MONTHS, they still refuse to replace it. They claim the appliance repair company THEY sent out is withholding repair notes to justify a replacement. I am done with Best Buy, I never set foot inside any of their stores again. read more

Geek squad is totally inept -I paid tjrm for a projector installation and all they did was install it to the frame I had- didn't ensure it was working or configured correctly. I had to hire a real av installer to correct their installation read more

My HP laptop stopped working after six months. I contacted HP support and was informed Best Buy in Rock Wall, Texas was my closest support center. The location is an hour drive, so I called their tech support to ensure they could assist. It took me two calls to get past their AI answering service, once I did the technician who answered said they do NOT service HP products still under manufactures warranty. He suggested I send it back to HP for support. I called the HP support line again to find their staff baffled, insisting that Best Buy is their local support center. Issue is still unresolved. read more

I went there today to buy a desktop. I'm not going into detail. But suffice to say I did not realize I was invisible. I looked around at least 15 minutes and no one spoke. Yes there was someone not busy I the department. A fast walking man said I would be help shortly. I left and was treated worse in the front. I tracked down a manager Preston... he let me know to make it quick "I've got a call to take" There is know CUSTOMER SERVICE. Best missed a sale and I don't have a computer. I think Best could care less. Sam Mize Fate Tx read more

12_2023. Generally, I really like Best Buy (BB). They have a lot of great electronics. My experience this season is subpar at the Rockwall location. My wife called BB customer care at about 5:30pm and asked about availability for an Owlet baby monitor. The BB rep said that it was available at this 995 E. I-30 Rockwall location (their website even stated so). Rep wanted to take the order over the phone, process payment and to schedule pick up at Rockwall. Enough time was given and I arrived at the location at about 8:00 PM. BB had already withdrawn $345.53 from my bank acct. I checked in with Customer Service. They told me to wait as BB was verifying that they received payment. (My bank said they already had). Common sense: the funds have been withdrawn from my checking account, please go to the shelf and give me what I paid for, thanks. Instead, I was told to wait. I waited in the store roughly 45 minutes. Maybe longer. I asked the clerk to check again, she scanned the bar code on the email I received from BB. No, nothing, still processing. I would have liked for them to take the initiative: Sir, your payment has been processed, here's your product, thanks for shopping with us, good night. No. I got the impression that they were passing the time until closing time; instead of really helping out a customer. I checked the floor and the Owlet was not there. Meanwhile, the wife at home is waiting for me to pick up this baby monitor so that we could get some peace of mind rest. Closing time near, I checked for availability at Target. I drove to Target location in Rowlett. I walked into Target, found the exact model Owlet baby monitor, checked out, drove home. About the next day, I received notice from BB that they actually do NOT have what we paid for in their Rockwall location. Then why did the rep say it was there in Rockwall and take my payment? It was a complete waste of time. I could've been home with the fam. With our newborn. BB Rockwall, I feel very disappointed. And I had to wait about two business days to get a full refund. For nothing. I'm sure that you all can do better. Thanks. read more

Well, No one can find a manager. The customer service representative at the door said the managers are busy. Really? Poor communication skills, poor service, poor in general. Here for thirty five minutes at the counter and not one person can figure it out. Don't bother stopping at this store. You will be disappointed, frustrated with the incompetence and angry you stopped here. Avoid this stop. There is a reason they only have two stars. read more

I bought a new laptop there in November. I asked to have everything transferred to my new laptop and have the old one wiped clean. I live over 60 miles away. I have been back 5 times attempting to get their inept Geek Squad to actually do their job. The last time there they said they would replace my new laptop with another new laptop. Now I am sitting at my computer after picking it up on my 5th trip there only to find out that absolutely EVERYTHING is gone. None of my documents or pictures were transferred to my new computer as requested. I have lost EVERYTHING. I absolutely would NOT recommend taking ANYTHING to the Geek Squad at the Rockwall location. The level of ineptness is shocking. All I wanted was for all documents/pictures to be transferred and to have both an Owner and User passwords set up. Obviously this request was beyond their level of competence. read more

Purchased a 75" TV as part of the Black Friday sales event. Made the purchase after the sales man (Zak) confirmed the unit was available. I asked the sales rep about store delivery and he informed me it could take two weeks, so I decided to pick it up myself. I returned to the Rockwall store the next day with straps for transit. At this time the customer service rep told me it was in transit from another store and couldn't tell me when it would arrive. I quickly got a refund and explained to the store manager this is not the first time I have received terrible business practices from Best Buy. My fault, once wasn't enough. Screw me twice shame on me. read more

I have been a frequent shopper at Best Buy for many years and was always very pleased with their products and customer service but I was there and had to ask several times for assistance and waited for a long time for it. I went to the electronics section and never did get waited on. read more

I visited the Rockwall, Tx location on a Wednesday evening. The representative in the section I was in (David) seemed more interested in having a personal conversation with a previous customer and left me and another couple waiting for over 20 minutes. (A seating area might be ideal if service is going to be so slow). I finally was able to purchase my Chromebook but didn't need it until the next day for work. Once I set it up, I tried to plug in my monitor only to realize that he gave me the incorrect item. Right when I should have been working I had to return to the store to exchange for the Chromebook I asked for. There was a slight price difference ($20) and a manager (Preston) was able to negate that due to my inconvenience but I don't feel like my time or business was appreciated. I think moving forward I will look elsewhere and best buy will be a last resort option. I have had a few bad experiences at this store waiting around for help and this might be the straw that broke the camels back. read more

bought a tv 2-3 weeks ago. signed up for best buy credit card and was approved, but was unable to use it at that time. credit card co. said i had to wait until i received card. so i used another credit with mgr saying i could come back and transfer the amount to best buy card. received card and went back up to best but to do so. customer service was very helpful in trying to do so. but card company said my card was under review and was unable to complete transaction. so, whats the point in having a zero percent credit card if you can't use it? bottom line, i came home and cut the card up. THANKS ALOT read more

My family and I had a really good experience with Lyman in the computer department. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and didn't get frustrated with all our questions (or when we accidentally set the alarm off for touching a keyboard, oops) Hope management reads this and gives him recognition for being an awesome employee. Thanks Lyman for your patience and generosity! read more

This review is not about the store staff, it is about the Total Protection support that was sold to me. The lack of professionalism by the phone rep was very sad. its is all scripted, and when you dont comply or agree, he just hung up on me. I needed to return a small appliance for an exchange, i have the extended warranty and the manufacture is 4-6 weeks out. I asked if they could have the store hold one of two for me since I am 45 miles away and didnt want to show up and they be gone, he was adamant that he wouldnt and couldnt, when I pressed, he hung up. I called back and guess who I got? i got his employee number, but spent the next 45 minutes trying to get a manager since the store is not taking calls...must be nice! So I am done with Best Buy read more

My son and I were in Rockwall over the weekend looking for some laptops. I was looking for something that would handle coding/data analytics and he needed something lighter than his gaming computer for his college classes (note taking/assigments/etc). LYMAN was AMAZING! He really helped us narrow it down to the right laptops within our budget. He didn't rush us but took his time. He has a very warm demeanor and we enjoyed our shopping experience. Thank you for all of your help and making us feel valued as customers. read more

Do not purchase AppleCare from Best Buy if you need it get it directly from Apple and avoid a headache.

The experience at this Best Buy has been okay. Typically, a Best Buy associate would come up to you & ask if you need help, however that was not the case this time. I had to walk around the whole store to find someone to help me out. From here on, I had to buy some accessories for my Apple Watch, which they did not have a huge selection. Afterwards, I went to go see geek squad to help me with my Apple Watch & there was only 2 associates working in a busy Best Buy! Not a good experience. read more

So I don't know if I can fully blame bestbuy for this one but because that's where I bought my appliance and they contracted out the work for the install they should be making sure the people they contract with do their job and they should be following up with me like an hour or two after the job was supposed to be completed to check in with me and at the very least the next day. So I don't want to make this a money thing or a status thing but you would think someone that has the bestbuy credit card with a decent spending limit and that just paid a decent amount for a appliance from you that you would want to keep that person happy. But anyways as you can see I ordered a new stove from bestbuy. I got delivery and install. My window was from 12-6 and they got here at about 5(I figured we would be able to have it ready to go for dinner that night) The old stove was already gone. The installers were polite and professional but they failed to uphold any and I mean any of the health and safety standards bestbuy told me they are doing for safety right now. Then it took them over an hour to "install" the stove. They took it out of the box on the truck. And then took all of the plastic off of it once inside even though I said several times not to worry about it because I knew I could do it faster. And they had to put on the cord which I had to let them borrow my tools because they forgot theirs. And they didn't even install the cord right. I had to fix it after they left. And the only thing I asked of them was to level it to my countertop and make sure the anti-tip device was installed. Both of which they tolde they could not do. They said they couldn't level it because they can't risk damaging my countertop(my wife and I levled it in the middle of the kitchen not affecting the countertop. And we don't have granite counters so there's really nothing to damage but they said they couldn't do either because it was bestbuy policy. So they really didn't install it. I was hoping for a full install because I have a bad back so it only took my wife and I 20 mins to level it but it was more difficult on my back than I was hoping for when I thought I was getting it installed. Then they leave which is when we levled it and got the anti tip device installed(only required two screws by the way) I went to go plug it in so we can be done and finally cook dinner now at almost 8pm and I found out they gave me the wrong cord. Here we are now 3 days later at 8pm still waiting on the cord with the stove sitting in the middle of the kitchen. I had the installers number so I have been talking with him and everyday he keeps telling me he's bringing me the cord and it never happens. Bestbuy will be getting a call but Everytime I call the hold times are over an hour. This makes me think twice about making big purchases from bestbuy again. And maybe if it was a geek squad install it would be different i don't know. And I know times are difficult for everyone right now but this is just ridiculous. If they can't do it then don't offer it. And if they aren't going to uphold the health and safety practices that I thought were set by the CDC then why lie and pretend to make people feel safe it's just wrong. read more

Okay, so I hate to complain, but I went in for an HDMI cable today aaannndd The guy who helped me find it was helpful. Awesome guy. He wanted to make sure I got what I needed. Where it went south was with the cashier. We went to the "line" and I say "line" because we were the only people waiting. Not cuz he was busy with a customer, but because I guess he was busy flirting and getting a phone number. Okay, fine. I mean I hope my boy gets some and all. BUT Where he just drove me bonkers was when I was following the prompts on the chip reader. I put my chip in too early and he said "read that out loud to me" It said "wait for cashier to insert chip" Look man, I know you're pumped and cocky cuz you're gonna get laid, but there's no reason to be a rude A-hole to me like that. I'd name drop him but the receipt didn't have his name on it. Good luck w your date though. 5 stars for the dude who helped me find my HDMI 0 stars for the cashier cuz he was rude. read more

Remote control on Toshiba tv purchased at Best Buy less than a year ago went out. No one at Best Buy could help and there was no one working in the tv's to help me find a Universal remote. Don't buy your tv's from Best Buy if you hope to get any kind of service at all! read more

This review is not a reflection of the in store staff, they were great. Unfortunately, Best Buy delivery and their installation services are beyond horrible. Bought a freezer over the summer 2019, delivery only, they were several hours late, way past the delivery window I had. I was mad they took up my whole day waiting for them. Fast forward to end of 2019... Bought and paid for a large TV with wall mount installation. Did they show up in their scheduled window? NO. Did they call, text or email me? NO. I had to call the store and wait 45 minutes on hold to talk to anyone. Their third party vendor stated they were not able to transport the tv due to its size so they placed me in the reschedule list. Was I notified? NO. So when the hell were they planning on making the delivery and installation I paid money for? Earliest available time frame was a week later. Unacceptable. I was given an escalated status. Scheduled for next day. Same 7am to 1pm window. Did they show up? NO. Did I get a call, text or email? NO. Do I have my TV? NO. Am I getting pissed off? HELL YES. Do I recommend any Best Buy delivery or installations? HELL NO. Anyone that buys at Best Buy, buy only what you can take with you, on the spot. Otherwise this will probably happen to you too. read more

I have just been hung up on after being on hold for JUST under 30 minutes. I was instantly placed on hold by the Geek Squad because "my system is loading and I'll be right back." Maybe this "geek" isn't so geeky if he can't figure out how to use Best Buy's system. And he's even LESS of a Geek if he just "accidentally" hung up on me. I called in on a different phone to the Geek Squad to see if the dude just forgot about me. That line has still not been answered after 12 minutes (and counting). This is a simple warranty exchange. If you want to be a terribly run and supervised location, that's fine. But this is the kind of review you've earned. Bravo. I'll be going to ANY.OTHER.BEST.BUY in the area, or continue giving 90% of my money to online retailers. Truly terrible. Edit: Upgrading to 3 stars based on the outstanding service and knowledge provided by Randall/Randy in the Home Audio department. He is a great rep for the company. read more

Steve and Kayla helped ensure I had a great price match on the price for a laptop. Quick in and out, very happy!

Best Buy's return policy SUCKS! If you buy something and never took it out of the box and try to return it within 30 days, you're out of luck. They have a 15 day return policy!!! Who has that???? Frickin' ridiculous! Next time I'll order from Amazon or direct from the vendor but first I'll come in to Best Buy to check out the goods before I make my online purchase from their competitor. read more

ONLINE CONSUMERS BEWARE!!! Purchased merchandise online and when I received it at home, it was very obviously a store returned item. Exterior packaging damaged and interior packaging was ripped. If you are expecting to receive a 'new' item when ordering online, be prepared to receive a return with God knows what is missing or broken. I will never be purchasing from Best Buy again. Either in store, or online. read more

The selection is usually pretty good, just like any other Best Buy. The people that have checked me out at the registers up front have always been helpful. Other than that, this place has left a lot to be desired lately when dealing with their customer service and managers. First I went to pick up a game that we pre-ordered. My husband made the order and I was picking it up but they wouldn't give it to me even after he called and said that I would be picking it up. If that's store policy, fine, but at least make that clear when placing the orders and try not to be such a jerk about it. Second we went looking for a specific item and there was only one left, however, the box had clearly been opened. Actually it had been ripped open, damaging the packaging. The sales guy helping us went and found a manager when we asked if we could get an open box price and their response was basically "it's not an open box, take it or leave it." Think I'll stick with "leave it". I'm just tired of being treated like an annoyance. Think I'll take my business elsewhere for now. read more

I have some good and bad comments for Best Buy of Rockwall. I will start with the bad. I purchased a digital camera from Best Buy right before Christmas. I was very clear that I needed a fully automatic camera that would pretty much operate itself. I ended up buying a Nikon. I have had them in the past and found them to be a good product. This time I ended up getting a more advanced model. I was after a little more powerful zoom and something that would take good picture in lower light conditions. Well this camera did not take good pictures at all. They were all out of focus and blurry. Evidently you have to configure the camera settings based on the conditions. Not what I wanted. Now for the good. I took the camera back to Best Buy and they gave me a complete refund even though I did not have my receipt. So I am left the some pretty crappy pictures of Christmas this year but at least I am not stuck with a camera that does not work. I will continue to purchase from Best Buy. Good job on the customer service. read more

Bought a product online for in store pickup. The charge was voided, they then attempted to charge my account again, and then once more. Then after cancelling my order as I did not want to continue to be charged, they lacked the common decency to void the charge to my card and instead allowed the charge to be processed as a refund which means I am stuck without those funds for at least a week. I strongly recommend against ordering anything for in store pick up if it is not available same day. read more

Love this store location and service and products available. Victoria M. read more

This location has pretty good service! I was approached at least 4 times and asked if I needed help. I felt the staff was fairly proactive and knowledgeable. This store seemed over staffed. Meaning, there were many employees standing around talking and fewer customers. However, they still focused on the customer. The selection of items was ok, not as good as some other Best Buy's. I do plan on returning here and buying a few computers. Good service, clean store, open spaces and an acceptable selection. 4/5 for this Best Buy. read more

Poor customer service, waited in camera area 20 minutes and then the person was not from that area and was not helpful. This is the second trip into this store with same results and only a handful of customers in the store. Will not be back. Adding: I walked out without buying the product. They did not have one in stock only the display..no problem right? The display said $89.00 no box and no accessories...no problem! Nope sales person said we can't sell this to you because it does not have accessories!? I know it says that on the reduced price, she said oh and said she had to go ask waited another 10 minutes then I see her off talking to another employee and the both walk off....so I did the same and kept walking to my car. Ordered it off amazon for a better price. read more

They don't have that many specials but I will say they've always helped me and got me what I needed when I asked for help. The store is never really that packed and they price match on the appliances I bought my stove and my dishwasher here. read more

They changed how geek squad works. They didn't tell anyone. When I said I don't think I'll ever buy anything here again the door guy said "I think we'll be okay" When I asked for the customer service number he said "Google it like everyone else" It's actually 888-BESTBUY. So.. Lack of customer service is clear. When I asked for the manager. He said Leave now or I'll call the police. Avoid at all costs. read more
