An amazing experience! Went to get an SD card for my dash cam. I was clueless. The selection was overwhelming. I picked the SD card I thought I needed but I wanted to confirm it with a salesman. I asked the greeter if he cold send someone to help me. After a minute or two, along comes the advisor "MAN ANT"!!! He was so very helpful. I told him about the dash cam, he looked at the SD card I had picked and told me it was the wrong one. He went into the computer and not only did he find exactly what I needed, he gave me a lesson on it, how to install it and how to transfer the data from dash cam to my computer. I could hardly wait to get home to write this review and give a big shout out to MAN ANT!!! read more

The employee at the front was very nice but had the wrong information. Came in looking for USB headphones and tool kit for taking apart laptops/phones. He told me a location but it was incorrect. I then proceeded to walk the whole store 2 or 3 times and saw plenty of customers but no employees to help. I pick out some headphones and looked over the store again for help but no one was around. I saw several customers needing help. Save yourself the time and gas money and just order off of Amazon. read more

Best Buy might have product but they have no one there to help you. I just went in there today and there were 2 guys standing as greeters by the door talking to each other and zero, I mean no one else helping customers in the store. Went in to find a TV, the back walls had a few TVs badly displayed with none of the newer cutting edge TVs. Even if they did have something there was no one to answer questions. Sad that Best Buy has come to this. Was about the only electronics and appliance places i would go to or at least it was first place to go check things. read more

Walked in looking for a drone and was directed twice to where none existed. The store was empty and employees walking around me as if I wasn't there. I asked a young man and he said, "A sales associate could assist me". I waited for 5 minutes and walked out. Had the same experience in Lexington Park MD looking for computer and they endlessly looked for it in a rack upstairs to no avail. Went to Target and bought one. I'll never go in another store. I give em' 2 years and The'll end up in Bankruptcy. read more

Will never buy from Best Buy again. We purchased an $800 wine cooler and it was delivered very damaged. The box it was in was destroyed. We returned it and ordered a replacement one. It was also delivered damaged. This is all on Best Buy for their terrible handling of merchandise. In addition the wine cooler door won't stay closed. This is on the Chinese for making substandard products. This country is in a serious decline. read more

The staff has zero ability to think for themselves, they hide behind the computer generated response and do not know how to resolve or approach a problem if something occurs outside their little box. They are warm bodies that can type info into the computer. If something goes wrong they want to give you a gift card, which is the problem with our society. I do not want anything free, I just want you to fix the problem your staff created. WILL NEVER GO BACK. AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL . This review is for the SLIDELL, LA location. read more

I recently made a visit to Best Buy store #380 in Slidell, LA to trade in some electronics I no longer wanted. Prior to making my visit, I went to Best Buy's trade in website to do a valuation on the products to see what I could get for them, as I have done in the past. When I arrived to the store, the person behind the counter was unable to assist me as she was not of age to process the transaction. A young man came over to assist, however, did not know how to process the transaction as he had never done it before. Shortly after another woman, named Melissa, came over to assist. She failed to acknowledge me and immediately went to helping the young man. Additionally, her body language exuded annoyance from the moment she stepped up. While looking at one of the products I had for trade in, she stated to the young man that it would be rated as fair. I asked why would it be given that rating, to which she replied, "because it is scratched." Her response was extremely dismissive, as she proceeded to continue to transaction. Furthermore, she failed to show me where the scratches were that she allegedly found on the item that warranted a rating of fair. Soon thereafter she told me that my item would not be accepted either way because Best Buy was not accepting this item for trade in. She then tossed the item towards me, proceeded to the next item and stated it would not be accepted for trade in either because it was the same as the first item and pushed that one away as well. The entire time she made no eye contact, she was rude, dismissive, and her overall attitude was insulting. I was very put off so I told her I did not want to continue with looking at the rest of my items and bagged my things and left the store. I returned to the Best Buy trade in website to double check what I did prior to coming into the store to ensure I did not make a mistake only to discover that I had not. The items that were accessed, even if considered fair, were given a value for trade in, not that they were not accepted by Best Buy. I visited the store a few days prior to trade in another device I had and that process was the complete opposite experience. The person was friendly, made small talk and I received the exact value for the device that I expected based on the valuation I completed online prior to coming into the store. This most recent visit has been, by far, one of the worst customer service experiences I have had. I, personally, have held many positions in retail, including at Best Buy. This behavior would not have been tolerated at the location in which I worked and does represent the values of the Best Buy I once worked for. read more

Went to look for a Dyson Vac. I could not get anyone to help me nor was I acknowledged when I entered the store. However, same two Associates were up front just chatting it up when I entered and when I left. Terrible Customer Service. Was not even acknowledged when I left. Go figure... read more

This is an awful best buy. I had to deal with the mobile department. They canceled an order for no reason just to offer me the same product for more money. Jun was extremely rude, and bestbuy made no offers correct their error. Counting down the days till this becomes a Amazon fulfillment center. read more

If you want to waste your time, try to contact Best Buy online or on the phone. They're the worst in customer service. Probably understaffed; definitely not customer friendly. Trying to call the local store, you're routed to a national call center. Useless. Regardless of how you reply to the questions, you're on a single path, that's very annoying, and doesn't help you resolve a problem. The rating should be ZERO. For a tech company, they don't have a rudimentary idea of how to automated customer service. I know: I used to design human interface systems. Then, when you finally get to talk to someone, they will put you on hold (in my case, for 10 minutes), in the middle of a conversation. And...don't try CHAT, either --- "fastest" way to get info, but I was put on hold for 19 minutes. Best Buy doesn't understand customer service, and doesn't attempt to provide it. read more

Clean store, lost of electronics. Each employee only knows about their area. Looking for DSL filters, they don't seem to be available anymore! Not only that, them employees look at you you aren't even speaking American. I felt like I was in the stone age and they were the Jetsons. read more

Best Buy - Electronics Near Me - Slidell, Louisiana

See all

I don't know why this location has such bad reviews. Every time I go in I'm greeted immediately and am asked how I can be helped. Usually after I browse I immediately find a salesperson to assist with any need that I may have. Great products at very competitive prices. The rewards program is lackluster but that's a corporate issue. read more

Wish i could give 0 stars. Geek squad came and F***** UP my water pipe. Suppose to drill a hole to mount my brand new TV. Instead, they drilled a whole in my water pipe. Had to shut the water off to my whole house until i could get a plumber out. Best Buy was not supportive at all and i was pretty much left to handle the whole situation on my own. I'll never let geek squad touch anything of mine ever again. read more

I went in to purchase a Apple TV not only was I not ask if I could be helped when I walked in but I stood in the Apple section for 15 min and finally had a guy come over with a terrible audited I then made decision to not give this place or people my business and money and what make the situation worse is I was completely alone in the Apple section and the employees would just look and never ask a question it was a terrible experience and I would urge anyone in this area to find another place to do your business because you will not be treated with respect or dignity If I could rate this place -5 stars I definitely would read more

I love this location and Harvey location they always greet you and if they are busy they stop to see if they can get you help as well .. keep up the good work as long as you are open we can get what we need read more

Horrible customer service! Walked in when they opened and already knew what we wanted but had to wait for someone to help. Asked twice for help, no one came, 40 minutes later we get inline so we can just tell them to get the item we want and get out, apparently asking for an item that's in the back is more complicated than it should be. I stood in line for 20 waiting for the item and then they made me get back in line at a NEW line to wait another 20 minutes to be checked out when I was already ready to check out the first 2 times I was in line for it. Seriously, when u have a customer that's ready and has been waiting, customer service 101 is to check those people out FIRST not last. Pathetic. Won't ever shop at the one in fremeaux center again. And it's not good when someone else was yelling at the employees when we walked in, something tells me this is a common issue here. read more

The customer service here has to be the worse that I have experienced. Everyone who answers the phone is rude or places you on hold for long periods of time. I had a tv and sound bar installation scheduled and they did a horrible job; they literally just hung the tv on the wall and plugged the sound bar in and that was it. They did not hide or organize the wires which was included in the installation package. They did not show my father in law how to use the smart TV...also included in the package. They did not mount the sound bar...which was included in the package I paid for. read more

After ordering a microwave online for local pickup, I decided to read the reviews. I should have read the reviews first! I ordered after seeing the claim "1 hour and it's ready AND we will even email you when it is ready. Well, 2 hours later, still no email. Then a phone call to the Slidell store, and several minutes of listening to an automated voice tell me to load the app, a customer service person answers and insists on helping me after I asked to speak with a manager. She has no clue why I have not received an email, but the computer "shows waiting on customer". Again, I ask to speak with a manager who can assist me with the answers to my questions. Again, I get put on hold and another customer service person answers and again, another person that has no answers except that the emails are automated and not generated by the local store. Low and behold, another transfer to another csr who knows only that the warehouse staff cannot bring the item to the front of the store until customer gets there. Ok, so, long story short....No One knows what is going on. I chose to get my refund since I paid online prior to pickup. I wonder what the experience would have been had I gone in to the store and made the purchase there?? No, I really don't! LOL Deserves ZERO stars. Stay away!! read more

I loved their original location on Northshore. But it moved to Fremaux Town Center for more traffic. It's well lit and organized reasonably well, but it's much smaller than their original location. Their prices are reasonable and I've never had a bad experience with them. Their employees in the appliance sections definitely know their stuff, and the Geek Squad successfully unbricked my wife's laptop after a abortive attempt to install Windows 10 when it first came out. They also recommended Webroot for our PCs, which was better than the anti-virus program we were using. read more

I had to go to this store, rather than the Covington one (which I love!), because they had the phone I was looking for at the time. Looking back now, I wish I had just let the Covington store order it for me, like they offered to do. My experience with the Slidell store was terrible. First, we had a hard time finding it, since they moved to a new location and the Maps app obviously did not know the correct location. We ended up on the opposite side of town! That's not the store's fault, though. When we arrived, there were two people working the mobile phone area, which seemed pretty busy. After a few minutes, someone helped us with our purchase. He was new, so I won't go on about how much he didn't know, but it was a quite a lot. Needless to say, we finally left about four hours later with our new phones and some uncertainty about whether they would actually work or not. I suppose I should write a review for the Mexican restaurant across the parking lot. We did spend about an hour there while they were trying to figure something out on the phone. Well, the phone thing worked out eventually, so we were okay with that. The next problem came with a free item we were promised when we purchased the phone. It was one of those wait-30-days-and-we'll-give-you-this-thingeebob deals. 30 days passed and not a peep...I even gave them an extra few days before I called...then, my nightmare began... The person I spoke with told me I would need to contact the store because things were not input correctly into the system during my purchase. Not surprising, since the poor guy didn't have a clue. I contacted the manager and she seemed more than happy to help out. She took my information and made some calls, then was stumped because she didn't have enough information. She told me to call another number and give them my specific information (which should be in their system, right?). I called and, apparently I have a knack for finding people who are new on the job to help me...The person on the phone connected me with the department she thought would be able to help and, of course, they didn't have a clue. Soooooo...back to the manager, who, after 3 additional e-mails over a period of two weeks, has never responded. Back in limbo I go... I called the number again and actually found someone who seemed competent. She talked with her supervisor and gave me the number for the Corporate office because she thought they would want to hear about my experience at this store. Now, I await their office hours to speak with someone who will hopefully get me my free thingeebob and end this once and for all. THEN, I will NEVER set foot in this store again!!! I will run back to the Covington store and kiss the floor when I enter the magical sliding doors!!! I'm sorry I strayed, Covington store! I'll be back!!! read more

The only reason they got one star is because zero wasn't an option. Went in ordered a washer and dryer had to wait two weeks because they weren't in stock. Got home realized the guy put in the wrong dryer so I had to drive 30 min back to fix. Two weeks go by delivery people are late because reasons. Then to find out they forgot the dryer and couldn't tell me when I could get it. I sent it back and cancelled. I will NEVER order anything from this dump again. Nothing but problems. read more

This rating will be broken down today: Customer service lady was very nice and helpful and just a note: this is the first time for this location! So congratulations!!!! I would have gave her a 4 star all by herself today. Thank you. Now as for the rest of the customer service staff you sucked as usual. You get a -1 today! Well always. There was no asking any customers if you needed help with anything, no eye contact. Staff was only talking among their self and about being sick and wanting to go home. Really? I was by the cell phones for at least 15 min with no help and was there to buy a phone. We also needed help with headphone and got nothing and I mean nothing! This happens every time we go to the Slidell location! I am not sure why we keep torching our selves and go back there??? Best Buy please get some better Customer service or wait should it start with your management????? Let's think about this????? read more

We went to buy a dishwasher but no one came to assist us even after customer service said they called someone over. We left and went to Levy's. We picked out and purchased our new dishwasher in less time then we waited for an associated at Best Buy. read more

This is an awful store in so far as customer service. I tried to purchase a gift card and for some unknown reason the cashier couldn't activate it. After a few attempts she shrugged me off and said it was a third party problem. No attempt to resolve the issue, no apologies - just "next in line please". Rather rude if you ask me. read more

A huge thank you to the Geek Squad team for working SO HARD for my boyfriend and I for three days... getting glass chards in their fingers from our broken iPhone. Taylor and Nate were world class customer service experts. Always sincere, always ready to help. We drove from NOLA east here specifically for these guys. They fit us in when they didn't have to, or honestly have the space to do so. If you guys need anything... please visit this location and ask for these guys. read more

Received a ring door bell for Christmas purchased from Best Buy. Returned it 2 days later along with the gift receipt and got store credit. Looked thru the store and couldn't find anything we wanted. Went back and looked again, and the only thing we were interested in were the gift cards for restaurants. Went to purchase them, and was told that couldn't be done because of scams. Talked to a manager about this being scams, and was told it was corporate policy. Was given the phone number for corporate (1-888-bestbuy). That number gave me somebody in South America. There is no way to call Best Buy corporate office. So if you use the store credit for merchandise, they make a big profit. Whereas if you buy restaurant gift cards, they don't make as much profit. So now we have a store credit for $108.69 that we probably will not use. That sucks. It's lousy way to do business. Joseph Seoane read more

My husband and I went to best buy with a specific budget hoping to buy a washer, dryer and desktop computer. The priority was our washer and dryer and realistically, we didn't think we'd be able to fit in the computer. First, Kristi (I think that's her name), helped me in appliances. She was patient with me although I had an actively toddler running around. Then Kevin wrapped up. I think Kevin was relatively new but he was super nice and knowledgeable. When it came time to check out, Kevin had some issues with applying a discount that I thought I was eligible for. That's when Terrance stepped in. I believe he may have been a supervisor? I'm not sure. Ultimately, I wasn't eligible for the discount but Terrance still found a way for me to at least get complimentary installation. I also can't forget Alina (I think). She was a young lady who was assisting me in trading in my laptop. She was patient, kind and went above and beyond what I asked her to do. Overall, the staff was very friendly and certainly exceeded our expectations. I will continue to give them my business because I felt appreciated as a customer. read more

This Best Buy is seriously lacking... It doesn't carry much and management needs a lot more training in customer service. The associates are friendly enough, but when you have limited stock and lousy management, it's just so much easier to buy online instead of in store. Not to mention this location has an extra tax penalty for being in the new shopping center. read more

Went in to buy an external hard drive. Store stock is sparse and poorly laid out. Walked around for 10 minutes and could not find an employee to assist me. The customer Service is AWFUL! Was trying to support a local business but will order on Amazon. read more

After experiencing some problems with my aging laptop, I took it to Best Buy to be evaluated. In the end, it was more cost effective to replace it so I purchased a new one leaving it and my old at the store for the Geekers to do what Geekers do. Thrilled to death with my purchase and experience with the staff across the board, I left the story happy, as they say, as a clam. UNTIL this morning when I decided to try contacting story to ask one simple question. Throughout the day I have been on hold numerous times, once for over 1 hour and 12 minutes. I have been online to "customer service spooks" and finally, after trying for several hours more to speak to a real person, I got a real person on the phone who transferred me to another real person (both of whom admitted that they did NOT work for Best Buy but a contract service) and the final guy put me back on hold AGAIN which I hung up after 29:33 minutes. Now, at 6:10 pm, cst, after trying since before lunch to speak with a Best Buy employee and still not having EVER spoken to a Best Buy Employee, Tomorrow, (I won't go tonight for fear of getting arrested) I will go and get my old computer back and a refund to my credit account. I will go buy a computer somewhere and I'll probably pay a little more for it but...I'll buy it from someone whom I have been assured will who will still speak to me by phone or in person after I've paid for my product. BEST BUY People....this is why you have to keep closing stores! Duh! I walked in to begin with, just show me some courtesy afterwards and remember that I'm not a "BOT"! read more

Terrible terrible service, do not spend any money at Best Buy in Slidell. No one would help us and staff was extremely rude. We were given eye rolls and extreme sarcasm from the cashier. When we asked for the manager he wasn't any HELP. This was by far worst computer buying experience I've ever had. Amazon.com now has my loyalty! read more

I always ask for Kevin to assist me....he is the best at getting me exactly what I am looking for.... I HATE Best buy's telephone service menue. I want to talk to someone at the store where shop....instead, I had to go through a litany of prompts only to have someone from a store in another city take my call..aaarrrrgh!!!!!...WHY don't they have the option to speak with someone at the store where I shop?????....I asked the guy to transfer my call to the store where I shop. This not good customer service procedures. read more

Rip off- no matter what they say, their tv's are useless and over rated. Cracked screen on day one. Don't get sucked into buying insurance- another slithery snake sucking your money out of your wallet. Geek squad go to hell. Best buy banned for life! Trust me, never thought I'd get the better tv and insurance coverage at Walmart w a winning smile. read more

I dropped my iPhone 12 off after a part had been ordered for it. The tech repairing the phone overheated the phone, which caused him to have to replace the entire screen when the repair was only for the front facing camera. After doing their service checks they were unable to get the phone out of "diagnostic mode". The phone was dropped off at 10 am on a Thursday and I was told it would be 3-4 hours. I NEVER received a call. I showed up after 6 o'clock in the evening to inquire about the phone (because you CANNOT call the store directly and the national number they send you to only sees what you can see on the website, so that was a complete waste of time!), I was told about the diagnostic issue and told that it would be at least an hour and to come back in the morning that it should be ready. The following day, Friday, I never received a call. Sent my daughter to go and check on the phone at 4:30, they said it was stuck in diagnostic mode and they were trying to get it out. I went down to the store at this point. No one had looked at my phone all day, no one had tried to complete the repair. No one had tried to contact Apple Support all day, and no one had called me. The website showed that they listed my phone as being repaired, completed and picked up Thursday night at 6:20. And of course the manager of the geek squad was unavailable to speak with. Since they closed out the repair ticket there is no record of them having my phone any longer, and there is no record if anyone is working on the phone or not. The store manager insisted he would have her call me on Saturday morning, since the phone had still not been fixed and another phone had not been ordered in more than 34 hours. The Geek Squad manager refused to call me and had someone else call me today, Saturday at nearly 1pm. At this point they have still not ordered my phone, which means no one had done anything with my phone at this point today either. I am told that overnighting it to the store it will likely be Tuesday or Wednesday of next week because today is Saturday and its after noon! I WILL NEVER take anything here to be worked on and if you are reading this, you shouldn't either! The customer service is awful, the staff is unprofessional, and no one takes pride in anything that they are doing. ABSOLUTELY ABHORRENT SERVICE! read more

Store was about as expected, but the service I got from Chad to install a receiver in my wife's car was simply outstanding.

Arrived at Best Buy to pick up the item I ordered online. While there, I thought to look around and do a little brief browsing - also, I thought to talk with a Best Buy representative to make sure I had everything needed to support my WiFi network needs. That turned out to be an important conversation, which led to my purchase of a premium router. My reason for pointing this out was that both BB Reps were helpful and gave invaluable assistance in narrowing down the options - this is an important component that you can't always get from an online purchase. Anyways, the two reps were awesome - wish I could have remembered their names - this would have been around 2-3 pm on Sunday, 16DEC18, at the Slidell, LA - Best Buy location. Kudos to their staff. read more

Wanted to support my local Best Buy as opposed to Amazon (my go-to for online, where merchants allow 30-days/return), but now I wish I had followed my 1st mind and gone with Amazon. I recently purchased a Samsung Smart Watch for my spouse's Birthday early Sept-2019. The Smart watch stopped working 3wks in. We returned to Best Buy, only to be told there was nothing they could do; their Return Policy is 14 days and that we have to contact Samsung, despite the item being brand new. There was no forewarning of this policy & nothing displayed in writing in the store. We spoke w/a sales person, then a Manager. Their 'don't care' attitude was snorky and arrogant. As if they were saying, "we have our sale, we have your money, 'NOT our Problem', now leave us alone." How sad of you, Best Buy, to operate like this. With large retail stores struggling to survive, it doesn't help that your staff is poorly trained, insensitive, and following internal policies that your customers are unaware of. Now the problem is ours to rectify thru Samsung! Know that I will share my experience on every social media outlet & warn others, as the most popular shopping season ever is soon upon us... 'BUYER BEWARE, BEST BUY DON'T CARE'. read more
