Long wait for IPhone upgrade
Elizabeth S.

Okay so let's start off by their hours. They close at 7 pm now because at 7:05 Covid must kick in. Not their fault, it's the ridiculous crap we're fed. My daughter wanted to upgrade her IPhone and for the latest of course and Best Buy had a better trade in as opposed to going into a Verizon store (by $50). I really don't wanna knock anyone's work knowledge (but I'm seriously doing it now). Judging by the customer service, you'd think we were the first to walk in to switch to the the next model. I'm okay with the long line due to the Covid crap, but when we finally got a rep to help with the simple directions of transferring her phone criteria (very simple) sadly this guy didn't have the simple criteria to establish this. After we stood there trying to figure it out, (without him), it was a simple fix. Best Buy had a good deal for a trade in, but the wait time and lack of knowledge wasn't worth the small savings. The staff was friendly but Can't handle the amount of people who come in to either buy a contract or upgrade. Beautiful store, the customer service for any type of phone needs some help.

This is what happens when you order a TV from Best Buy.  No Packing Material!

I purchased an open box TV online. The description was excellent condition. When it arrived the screen was cracked. It had three pieces of cardboard taped to the TV. It was not even in a box! There was no packing material or protection for the screen during shipping. When I returned it to the Warwick store they just laughed and said this happens all the time with the online orders. I'm glad they think its funny but I don't. You shouldn't either. If you want to by something electronic stay away from this store. It will not be in business much longer.

Manager not helpful to two staff members (who had issues) nor customers.
Russ A.

I was greeted by this manager who directed me to a specific area in the front of the store. The product wasn't easy to find. Luckily, it was early in the day and another staff member walked by and assisted, but then, I and another customer waited for 10 mins while 1 cashier and 1 customer service employee struggled with separate systems' issues. When customer-service-guy radioed this manager, she stared at him and let him struggle through the problem. She never moved or helped. The man he was assisting was returning a product he bought 5 mins earlier and the system wouldn't process the return. The picture shows her close proximity to assist either the customer service guy or the cashier (where we were standing). I also asked her if there was another register to check-out, but no. I don't need this type of aggravation first thing in the morning, and this treatment is why customers are frequenting Amazon and/or leaving brick and mortar stores to work for Amazon. Felt bad for the employees who were super friendly.

Still looking for a stove for my kitchen so I came here. They had very few electric stoves out to see and I'm sure they have more in line but I think it's really important for you to see what you're getting when you're spending money like that. The place is packed and they are so ready for Black Friday. There are boxes and boxes and boxes stacked everywhere. There was a line at the register but they have every cashier station open so they can't do more than that. I'm very busy place and I'll try again if I need something different.

Need a computer?  OK.  Need help?  Sorry, Charlie.

Took me a while to find the perfect refrigerator for my house and he took the time with me to present to me the best options for what I was looking for and within my budget. I will buy any other appliances from him in the future. Dee Dee was very nice as well and made me feel "at home" when I was in the store. She looked up sales prices for me when I stopped into the store and John had his day off.

I can not begin to describe the terrible customer service that Gil's provided me in the wake of…read morehaving purchased 2 appliances from them last Thursday. A Whirlpool stove was delivered on Saturday and a dishwasher was to be installed Tuesday, Nov 3. The delivery was poorly done. In a rush to install the stove and leave, the delivery person neglected to remove a piece of plastic covering on the oven door despite removing all other coverings. It was not a colored plastic but a transparent one and not visible to me and obviously not to him. Upon heating the oven, the plastic melted and caused toxic fumes to saturate my living space, the chemical hazard tainting the air in my living environment until the present, 3 days later. Furthermore, I noted multiple little scratches on the glass cook top 1 day after use on the right front burner. And, there is a crack in the molding of the element that lies just within the top of the oven door. I have provided this information several times with photos via text and phone messages to either Gail or Lisa, the owners. Neither has returned my recent inquiries and concerns today, Monday, although Lisa on Saturday's installation was available and did offer support. None of this would be terrible if either of the 2 owners or their staff were available to discuss these issues in a professional and helpful manner. Instead of contacting me directly, one of the staff who is invariably rude to me called in their place. She treated me today with rudeness, sass and complete misinformation and informed me that "I should have removed the plastic overlooked by the installer and that the toxic smell was solely from a new oven." When I corrected her and told her that the installation should been completed on arrival and that the toxic smell had nothing to do with the new oven, she was offended and demanded to cancel the order for the dishwasher. Anyone who has purchased appliances from Gils knows this particular rude individual. The attitude of the staff including the absence of a call back or text from management and the rude interaction with this one particular staff member reflects complete inadequacy and unprofessionalism on the part of Gil's appliance. They have failed to take responsibility for their botched installation and their deficient product. And, they have lost any future business from me as well as the sale of 2 further appliances that I was happy and eager to make. I have alerted Whirlpool about this terrible customer treatment as reported above and informed them that their sales have been thwarted by a business that does not care about the well being or satisfaction of their customer base. It is a terrible look and it has been verified from several other members of the local community. I would not buy a thing from Gil's Appliance in either location. It's far worse than just an appliance that does not meet expectations. The lack of customer service topped with a dose of utter rudeness is a complete abuse and insult to character and person to any who shop there. Beware. I erred terribly on going there, for sure.
