Police report filed for stolen package
Jacinda Rae H.

I ordered a PS5 and some accessories last weekend. All but one item were able to be picked up at the store "within an hour" but the order was not actually available until the next day because they decided to sit on the order overnight and not fulfil it. The item shipped to me was stolen off my porch within minutes of its arrival. I called them about it and they offered right away to have me to pick up a replacement at the store no cost to me. Not ideal but Ill take it. Today I get an email saying they are renegging it because "their investigation is complete" I may be disputing the entire charge on my creditcard and NEVER shopping there again.

My Samsung tv had dark spots across the top after a year (just past the warranty expiration), but it wasn't a priority, so I learned to live with it. That is until recently when it started glitching and the volume would come and go. I went online & started shopping and saw a 'like new' Visio on Facebook marketplace that seemed to be a steal before I decided to check the comps. I saw that Best Buy had a Toshiba - 50" Class - LED - 2160p - Smart - 4K UHD TV with HDR - Fire TV Edition on sale for $100 off at $279.99 with a free Amazon Echo dot ($49.99). I noticed they had an 'Open box' in excellent condition for $262.99 and went to the store to make sure it lived up to the 4.7 star online reviews before deciding to purchase. I had a mediocre experience with the first salesperson who demo'd it for me, as he didn't seem very knowledgeable and said it wasn't available. I went to leave and saw that, in fact, it showed 1 was available at the store. When I went back in, I approached someone to buy it and was told it wasn't there and that their system sometimes took several hours to update. Long story short, they lost a sale and my business. Technology is much too advanced for computer systems to misrepresent inventory to customers willing to drive in to the store. Yes, I got a new television elsewhere.

Proof of good roads. And the sun is coming out.

See all

Friendly staff, awe-inspiring displays, plentiful merchandise, and a great interaction with Tommy and Jonathan. I will be back!

Fortunately, I decided to venture down a search into the more local small businesses and came upon this cool old school & quirky shop. I think the gentleman's name was Jim. Older dude that could pass as your nerdy techy friend who's probably collected every tech gadget since the original Tron came out. Told him what I was looking for but I gradually got discouraged as all he was showing me were the bigger style bigger sound units that are common for home systems. But, alas! With a little patience we revealed a new treasure: smaller desk top speakers! Minor speaker mesh stains on the front but super decent with a little TLC. He was super friendly and chill, even making an effort to find parts that could potentially be missing from this set (like compatible power cord). It also came with an amp box that I've got sitting below my desk table, which was a nice surprise (I keep it plugged in for the deeper sounds or just unplugged for more "regular(?)" crispy audio). All that for a really awesome deal; I think it was something like $15-30 or something crazy like that. Good shit, dude! Thank you. If you're looking for small speakers, I probably snagged the last set but I definitely recommend this place for any help with acheiving 2 things at once: reusing/upcycling any sort of old working electronics and supporting a damn good local friendly small business.

We needed two TVs and so we did research (Best Buy, Costco, Amazon) and decided to go to Video Only…read moreto check them out since we had never been there, but heard the ads everywhere. The reason we went to the VO store is because TVs have changed so much (and are constantly changing) and we wanted to chat with someone knowledgable about TVs. Granted each seller has their own preferred TV brands that they sell, but it was great to chat with someone about the brands, types, sizes and comparisons. At the Salem Lancaster Video Only store that person is Doug. He was SUPER knowledgable about the TVs and the different types and amenitites on each. He scrolled through the competition prices on line with me and explained in detail how Video Only sell their TVs, pricing and warranties, etc. He was extremely detailed so that everything was clear. Once we decided to go with the TVs at Video Only (two different brands), he gave me extremely valuable tips for setting up our TVs at home and was just an amazingly personable, professional employee. I even called him ON LABOR DAY when I was having trouble setting up one TV and he was there and told me what to do. It worked flawlessly. Doug at Video Only has made me a believer. Ask for him if you go to the store and you won't be disappointed!

I needed a replacement for my flakier-by-the-minute LG 420G, but I'm as non-technical as they come,…read moreso I wasn't looking forward to asking a phone store employee about connectivity, conversions, SIMs, IMEIs, GSTs, cell towers, portability, rollover minutes and all the rest. I knew I'd understand only about a tenth of whatever they had to say. Luckily, I ran into Gail, the manager of a Radio Shack store in Salem's Lancaster Mall. She didn't sneer when I told her I didn't want a smartphone to cruise the Internet. She didn't smirk when I told her all I wanted was a phone that worked the way they're supposed to work when I wanted to make or receive calls. She understood why I wanted to migrate my account from my crappy LG to a new phone without losing my 240+ Tracfone minutes or my 900+ service days. She "got it" when I told her I didn't want to spend a lot of money on it. And she didn't cop an attitude when I told her I was totally lost when it came to the activation process. What she DID do was: (A) point out the exact phone I needed for simply making and receiving calls; (B) sell it to me for under $10; (C) call tech support right then and there to activate my new phone; (D) preserve all my minutes and service days, and (E) send a test call from the store phone to my phone. It worked, and it took less than an hour. If all electronics stores had employees as competent and knowledgeable as Gail and fewer clerks who seem to excel only at BSing the public and ringing up sales, our economy would get better and the world would be full of happy customers. Like me.

My husband contacted Microsoft and they told him to take it to radio shack. We had other shopping to do and drove to the Radio Shack in Salem. We were informed that they could not do anything because my son with Autism took off one key by accident (he is fascinated with how things work) This had nothing to do with the laptop not working, but I understand that employees have to follow policies. I thought about looking at a replacement and the employee was very rude. He said "you get what you pay for" and said it was no surprise our cheap laptop quit so soon. He showed me laptops in the $1000 range and told me that I needed to buy one of those or something nicer if I wanted my children to have decent laptops, implying that I was a cheapskate who bought my kids two pieces of junk. He did this in front of my children. I am not paying $2,000 for laptops and do not appreciate being told I am cheap in front of my children. I will not go back.
