A few years ago, I would have praised Best Buy for turning things around. They were destined to be a place to window shop where you go in and find what you want and buy it online from Amazon or other sites. They started price matching some online stores and revamped their store inventory and layout, things were looking brighter for the box store. Now they cancelled gamers club discounts, making them more expensive then Amazon on new releases and most other games. They have national pricing on tvs and many other products which means it is same price to buy these from most retailers, so not much drawing in people other than for those who gotta have it now. Even with that, Amazon and others are so fast with shipping, this will hurt Best Buy. While the above is more about the company in general, the local store has its own issues. Try to price match and the employees work hard to claim you can't but when I threaten to call corporate they do the right thing (I am talking about stores in their price matching policy). Finding help in the ever diminishing auto electronics section is impossible. Directv is always their pestering you to sign up for their service, annoying. Employees are not informed about what they sell, how hard is it to find employees that have interest in games, TVs, movies, computers, and electronics in general. They rearranged the store not long ago in the center area, but still same items and diminishing inventory of games. I have given Best Buy all my game purchases over the past 5 years, but now that cancelled their gamers club discount, I plan to buy from Amazon for new releases. I am sure the 3k a year in games I bought did not make them a lot of profit but I also bought many other items while in store that they will miss out on in the future as well. Hope corporate turns things around and the local store gets better help, or they may be the next business to follow Toysrus into bankruptcy. read more

Purchased a TV on line on June 28,2026, delivery date July 14. I said okay I can wait. Guess what? no delivery, no call no nothing. Called phone # for service lady said looks like TV arrived at store in Tyler just today 7/14. next delivery date 7/22 or I can drive to store and pick it up. Was told I could call the store but would not get through to anyone. Will not recommend buying on line from Best Buy. read more

Mathew and Greg at the front register were ridiculously unhelpful and clueless with simple questions. They wasted my time - they didn't know what the hell they were doing or saying. Mathew seemed proud of his inane remark that they wouldn't be able to deliver anything without an address; he was utterly ignorant of why a customer might want to know what additional costs would be charged before handing over their personal information, and refused to give details on/an estimate of delivery and installation charges. In addition, no one ever came to help me in the appliance section though I waited for some time. Many staff members walked by without making eye contact, while joking with their coworkers. read more

I purchased an Apple Watch Ultra 3 gps+ cellular titanium case with black/charcoal trail loop m/l black 2025. Open box Excellent per Best Buy website. I received the watch face as described but the band is not the band that was pictured. This band has an American flag on it and USA on the other side. This is clearly false advertisement. I paid for an item that is incomplete. I will be reaching out to the BBB for further assistance. This store is three hours from my residence. FYI. Don't buy any open box items from this store. I've had several failed attempts today trying to reach the store director. Photos to follow. What I purchased verses What I received. I paid over $700 for a watch that I cannot use. I don't recommend this store to anyone. read more

See all

don't ask these sales associates for any help because they don't know what they're doing and they'll sell you the wrong item. Then when you go to return it, they won't take it back. Better to buy on Amazon than to mess with these idiots read more

Super helpful and knowledgeable staff Vinnie was super nice and very well mannered- fabulous customer service read more

Best Buy - Vinnie was an excellent support and helped me get my home smart electronics set up Super courteous and knowledgeable - Computers Near Me - Tyler, Texas

The reason this is getting 1 star is because I had gone over there at 8:17 pm and I saw that they close at 9:00 and when I got there they said they were closed 1 hour before close which is ridiculous because it closes at 9:00 pm read more

TV delivery and set up scheduled for Nov 30th. Delivery sched for 7 am-7pm. updated delivery status on the 30th, 9 am to noon. called after noon and they said it would be delivered by 7pm. Called at 4:30 pm for status. Was told there was a problem at the warehouse and asked me to reschedule for Saturday, I cancelled the order. Waited all day for the delivery and no one called to say it wasnt going to be delivered today. What a piece of shit company and customer service dept. I'll never buy anything from them again. read more

If I could leave "0" stars I would. The latest lack of service that I experienced was when I took my laptop that I bought from them into the Geek Squad for service. I took it on Thursday evening and was expecting a call from the tech who would work on it on Friday, which did not come. I called the store and maneuvered through the AI answering service and spoke to a person who said she would get a message to the tech to call me before starting my work order. Didn't hear anything Saturday or Sunday. Tried to call today. Chatted online with Live Agent customer service who said they would send the tech the message to call me immediately. Nothing. Went out there on my lunch break and no one had even started the service because they were "confused" about the instructions. My phone number was on the work order. They could have picked up the phone and called me. I got my laptop back and will take it elsewhere for service. This is not the first time I received poor service from this company. Not just Geek Squad issues. I've had order and delivery issues and lies in the past. I will never trust Best Buy or set foot in their store again. read more

Manager Jenn refuses to honor corporate's request to exchange my effective phone. I also had trouble in this store (Tyler) at the Geek Squad counter. Zero customer service seems to be the order of the day there. read more

Overall the nicest people are the ones at the door because they day hi. Geek squad sits there and waits for you to walk away to talk about you/customers. Honestly it's a bunch of kids wasting time. Geek squad is a joke. Their service is slow and they will push off your problems. Go anywhere else. read more

Best Buy - Dish having issues because Best Buy installers did a terrible job. - Computers Near Me - Tyler, Texas

ABSOLUTELY THE WORST SHOPPING EXPERIENCE EVER!!! We went in knowing what we were looking for just not exactly the different accessories and abilities of the item. we asked the first employee for help, after rolling his eyes and slumping on to the basket we asked our question he then shrugged his shoulders and said I know nothing about this section. you pulled me away from my section so you need someone else. Several employees standing around and no one offered to help. 20 minutes later tried to help ourselves and went to counter to pay. Waited in line for 15 minutes only to be told that he needed to help his cashier at another register. So walked up to the desk to wait then another employee came up and pointed to the gentleman behind me and asked if he could help him. The gentleman said 'shouldn't you help her?' he looked at me and said uhm I guess. read more

To start I bought a laptop that was supposed to be new and got it home (45 minutes away) and it was used already been logged into so it was locked. So I drove back to exchange it (45 minutes away) and there was one guy at the counter with a customer so I left the laptop on the counter with my 13yo son and used the restroo. when I returned a short minute later a manager had already returned the laptop therefore my money is stuck in lala land and I'm out the money and the laptop which is needed for work. The manager just threw his hand up and said nothing he could do and that it wasn't his fault even he's the one that sold me a used laptop to begin with. Then he began to accuse me of being a liar and that the laptop was new. When I told him to take it out and turn it on to see for himself he told me he didn't have to. This store and it's manager are terrible and there is no excuse for being that type of way to a customer. if I could give no stars I would! read more

Worst customer.service, ever. I bought a $1000 Samsung Note 10+, and have had nothing but issues with it. I tried to return it within the 14 day return period (which is a joke in itself), and was given the middle finger. Best Buy and Samsung customer service are atrocious. Oh, and after calling BB corporate, they advised that I email the store. Ha, take the under on a return email, or phone call. Screw Best Buy, and Samsung. I'll go back to Apple, after a 7 year hiatus. [Taking a Hillary hammer to this piece of shit, Android.] read more

Geek Squad is terrible. I bought a new computer and paid $199 for tech support. Asked them to sync my old computer with my new one and they did nothing that I asked, after holding both my computers hostage because of their ridiculous "appointment system". The Geek Squad is a bunch of kids with no customer service training or sense of urgency to assist customers. The poor guy who sold me my computer and printer was very nice and terribly overworked. I asked for a call from the store manager and was assured he would contact me and he never did. read more

Reporting this for my spouse. Highly dissatisfied with the lack of customer service at this location. Browsed the car audio department, needed assistance and received none. Had them paged twice and still no one came. As I was leaving, I saw two workers and asked for a manager with both replying they were managers. I told them what happened and the response I got rudely per them, "There's nobody that works that department. " No I'm sorry sir how can we help you or sorry for the wait, just nothing, acted like I was bothering them. I will shop elsewhere from now on and never at this location. read more

I can see why this best buy doesn't care about anything. They are the only one around. Disaster with a refrigerator. Talks to my wife like they don't care she doesn't have a refrigerator. Then wants to sell her a slightly damaged one for half price and we believe it is the one they took back. Then the guy tells her she should always except the delivery if its damaged and they would just pick it up. Much different than the rest of the world tells you.I get a call todayand and tells me that there was a glitch in the system for the TV they were scheduled to deliver. I didn't schedule delivery because they wanted to charge me a 100 dollars. I told them I would pick it up. I just cancelled it. Will drive way out of my way before going here. Which is sad because best buy was always my go to place. read more

I just bought a brand new laptop here and it came broke! The screen was completely messed up!

I went in today to buy a MacBook Air. I was in and out in ten minutes, thanks to Justin! He made sure I had everything I needed and answered all my questions. read more

WORST Best Buy ever is in Tyler! Been trying for two days to reach SOMEONE, ANYONE by phone. Doesn't matter what "department" you choose via their "choices" when you call them, NO ONE ANSWERS.........!!! I tried every single choice they offer, same results, NO ANSWER! What kind of lousy management do they have there.......what a joke! This happened the last time I tried to reach them via phone....way before COVID..... WAKE UP BEST BUY CORPORATE....you need to clean up whatever is going on at this store! read more

I came in to find out how the pen stylus is supposed to work on my new computer. There's only 1 technician working and I've been waiting for over 40 minutes just to get to the counter. They need more technicians at the counter in the mornings read more

To start off the restroom was very dirty. But the real problem was listening to one of the managers making fun of a handicapped customer that just left the store to his employee. I was so angry I put down my merchandise and walked out. read more

Can't leave zero stars so had to pick one. Tried to purchase a $1000 computer and some accessories to boot, but could not get anyone to actually help. The items are kept in the back (which is entirely understandable given their value), so you have to ask for help to get the physical item for purchase. I asked four employees for help, all of which told me they "would call someone to be over shortly." One even said he was dropping something off and would be back in a minute, only to never return. Even after heavily leaning into the fact that I was trying to drop some cash today. Again I think it is understandable that this is a busy time of year and everyone's attentions are being drawn in several directions, but this was unacceptable. If you have a section of the store where items must be retrieved by staff in order to purchase, it needs to be manned and responsive. Telling me four times that someone would be over shortly, only for that to never happen after 40 minutes of waiting around, is completely unacceptable. Will be buying elsewhere I suppose. read more

Kaitlyn Miller in the Geek Squad Department literally had me in and out the store in 5 minutes with Solutions to my issue! Top Notch customer service and no wasted time. 5 stars! read more

Wish I could give them no stars. Every time I go in, they have no stock at all. The place is cleaned out. I went looking for a radar detector and a dual car adaptor. NOTHING IN STOCK at all! Plus they are short handed, so good luck getting any help. You're better off buying online. Totally not worth the trip. Don't waste your time shopping here. read more

Worst customer service I've ever seen nothing but a phone run around. Then telling me the wait is 2 hours. I paid $242 and they can't find my order!!!! Never using them again. And they wonder why Amazon is kicking their ass read more

Bought I Mac computer two months ago. Brought it home. We open it up and up pops porno. Called the store and they said apple was the problem.. Apple said contact the store again/I was promised they would have a manager call twice. Did not happen. Been having problems with the computer. Went back to Best Buy. One of the associates look up my purchased and said my computer was 31/2 to 4 years old.The only thing I can do he said was to purchase a new one. No manager available to talk to me.. I guess small claims here we come.What a a load od dung read more

Not happy...I went in this afternoon to purchase a new car stereo for my truck. No one assisted me in making the purchase, much less asked if they could help me. I had questions related to my purchase since my truck has a Bose Sound System. You could have made a sale today...but evidently you weren't interested in making a sale today. Pretty sure if I wanted a computer or a phone you would have been on me in a heartbreak. Too bad. You lost a loyal customer today. read more

I've really never been impressed with Best Buy as a company. Generally they're overpriced compared to other electronics stores and general merchandise/discount stores. The service is pretty bad. I don't think I have ever been offered assistance. They're more interested in helping people buying big ticket items such as HDTVs, etc. The last time I went here was a couple weeks ago now. I put in a click and pull order on their website for a webcam I wanted to get and even though I came 30 minutes or so after it was supposed to be ready no one had pulled it. The guy at the click and pull counter brushed me off and said I would have to wait. He told me I could not just pull the item off the shelf and go through the cashier line as I would be double charged (they make you give a credit card when you place the order online) and then told me he would need 20-30 minutes to go pull an item on a shelf 10 feet behind me!! I went and got the item and brought it back to them at the click and pull desk and they acted like I had done something horrendously offensive. All in all, I'd say take your business somewhere else! You'll save money anyway. Went to Wal-Mart received great service, also sear's has good service too.... read more

My son bought a match washer and dryer back in September. He got his washer but still waiting on his dryer for over 7 months now. They are doing nothing to help. Totally frustrating. Do not buy from this store. read more

Jordan in Home Entertainment/audio is an excellent employee. He was personable, informative and professional. I needed an HDMI attachment for dual monitors on a computer, and he helped in linking me to the correct item, simply and clearly. If this location doesn't recognize him properly, they're a group of idiots. read more

Mason the Apple repair person for the GEEK Squad was so very Rude and Nasty I went to the store manager April, she wasn't much better. I can't believe Best Buy has people like this serving the public! read more

Took my laptop into Best Buy to meet The Geek Squad on Broadway in Tyler. Had a hinge pop off which also caused the screen to separate from the exterior covering. Not a pretty sight! The Geek Squad Rep was friendly and professional. They all did GOOD! They said it would be about 2.5 weeks before completed. They fixed it in a week's time and shipped it to my home address. It is in great shape. They got the job done! Thank you Best Buy Geek Squad. I'll recommend you if anyone asks! read more

I've been waiting in the car electronic section for what seems like days. No blue shirts in sight. I saw one a few days ago but he ignored my pleas and kept walking. I'll need food and water soon. If someone sees this please send help to car electronics. I'll send up a flare soon to see if that attracts the lone sales person. If that doesn't work tell my Mom bye and I love her. read more

Purchased an iPhone 11 earlier this year along with a screen protector. Sales person told me that the screen protector had a a lifetime warranty. If for some reason the screen cracks or malperformance bring to Geek Squad and they will replace and install new protector for free. I had to get it replaced and Geek Squad informed me it would cost $8. For them to install the screen protector. Soooo frustrating. I guess anything for a sale. I hate that!! read more

After a disastrous experience at Simiply Mac I walked into Best Buy and was greeted by the rep from Apple and a nice young fellow he was training for Best Buy. Ten minutes and all questions answered I looked at all brads at all prices. Walked out with a brand spanking new MacBook Air 13" on sale for the price of an 11" a 64gb flash drive and a wish list of other things I am going to go back and get. I spent twice what I planned on, all because of good customer service. They also have free classes for Mac if you are unfamiliar or having trouble. read more

Had an appointment to replace an iPhone that was still under warranty. Geek Squad REFUSED to handle the issue because I wasn't wearing a mask. Keep in mind not only was the kid behind a plexiglass wall, wearing a mask and the fact that he was going to handle my cell phone without gloves. read more

I needed to return an electronic item that I had purchased in another city. I had no problem with the return. The line wasn't so long and it only took about 5 to 10 minutes wait to get to a representative. I like how Best Buy has a roped line so that there is no confusion as to who is first or next in line. The whole process was good. read more
