    Best Buy - Phone stands

    Best Buy

    I went in looking for a desktop and was told someone would be right with me. I waited 10 minutes…read moreand despite there only being 3 customers in the whole store, I was never contacted for help. I saw a desktop computer for $2,600 that I was very interested in, but had to walk out.

    I'm going to give a ton of love to this Best Buy. I don't get the low ratings…read more I stayed at the Courtyard Ottawa East during my entire visit. My view consisted of seeing the Starbucks cafe that I visited every day. I could also see this Best Buy across from the cafe. After picking up a grande chocolate cream cold brew as my birthday perk, I parked in the Best Buy lot and consumed it immediately. It was so good. I then got out of the car and headed inside this store. When you look at this store's exterior, it has that typical pointy blue box look. This store has probably been around for at least ten years. However, when you walk into this store, it's stunningly beautiful. I loved looking at the Marshall speakers and headsets. The display was appealing and you could press buttons to check out the sound coming out of these devices. I saw weird items, such as self-cleaning water bottles that were on sale. There were two models and the cheaper one was going for $89 after a $10 price reduction. Yikes! I hope that they self-clean well for that price. I found a Casemate chain phone wristlet. It looked cool classing up your phone. I kind of like the extra security of having the chain around your wrist. Although my phone case does have a PopSocket, I have dropped my phone a bunch of times because I can be a klutz. This wristlet was my present to me. I browsed some more. I like that associates here don't approach you to ask if you need any help. Leave me be to explore. If I have questions, I will hunt you down. My usual routine is to check out the Google Pixel section. I am happy with my 6a phone, but like looking at the newer 7a and 7 Pro models. The Google Pixel Watch is also nice to look at. I went to pay for my item. I had a nice man helping me with my transaction. I learned that my wristlet was on sale and that $14 was knocked off the regular price. Yay! I paid with a credit card. The transaction was successful. I thanked the man, grabbed my item, and headed to my car. It was straightforward adding this accessory to my phone case. It's stylish and functional. It's awesome! I enjoyed shopping here. I'd return when I'm in the area again. (276)

    Worst experience I have had from an electronic store…read more I went to buy a Nintendo Switch wireless controller. After explaining my requirements to the store representative, I was recommended a controller that I later discovered requires batteries. I had specifically mentioned that I wanted a wireless controller but the representative did not mention anything about the battery or charging options. Upon realizing the discrepancy, I immediately returned to the store on the same day to exchange the item for the rechargeable version which was available at the Store and is more expensive than what I had initially purchased. However, I was informed by the same representative that The Source does not allow returns or exchanges unless the product is damaged. This policy was never communicated to me at the time of purchase. Additionally, I feel that the representative lacked knowledge of the product range, as she did not provide multiple options despite other available options in the store. I had even shown her the product that I wanted, but there was no price tag on it, which led me to rely on her recommendation. Moreover, I find it unprofessional that the representative kept telling me that I should not expect a minimum wage worker to know all the products they have in the store. This comment was unnecessary and unhelpful, and it certainly did not meet the standard of customer service I expect from The Source. I emailed the Sources customer service department to find a resolution but they never reply to my email. I even called their main line and was told that only the store manager's could decide whether or not they can allow the exchange and there was nothing they could do about it. They made no effort into resolving this matter.

    This Factory Direct was in the same plaza as a Winners store that I frequented every other day…read moreduring my time in Ottawa. It is deadly for me to go into any Factory Direct because I love everything that I see. This store was no different. There was lots of parking in this plaza. I backed into a spot and headed over. It's to the right of Winners when you're facing both stores. I spent a good hour checking this store out. I had a great time and bought a bunch of items. This store is deep. You can find everything from items that are shown on TV late at night when you have nothing better to do, to televisions and small appliances. I saw a cheap Chia pet-like product. I decided to try it out. It needs a lot of water. Mine is a monkey that is supposed to grow grass on its head. It's supposed to take a couple of weeks to see growth, so we'll see how it goes. So far, it has been enjoyable. There are lots of quirky items in this store that are also practical. I got a mini umbrella for my phone that comes with a kickstand. The idea is to provide shade for your phone so that it doesn't overheat when you're using it outside. My phone and I are alike. We overheat when it's hot and humid outside, which was the case while I was in Ottawa. This mini umbrella was purple, so it was a no-brainer move for me to get it. You know what? It works. The curved handled hooked around my PopSocket and actually cooled my phone down. The best item that I got was an attach-a-bag strap that hooks on to your luggage handle and drapes over your luggage. It is the best. I had more than one bag strapped on to my luggage as I took the elevator down to the hotel parking lot the day that I checked out. It was awesome! I used it on my most recent trip to the Twin Cities. It freed up my hands and was such a helper. It was the best $4 investment! If you like candy, there isn't any shortage at this store. I didn't get any, but it was mesmerizing seeing everything from Milka to Toblerone. The selection was impressive and prices were decent. Neon signs. Laptops. Mice (I was told recently that the shift is towards saying mouses, which sounds weird to me). Power bars. There isn't anything you can't find in this store. I have a weakness for small appliances. It was cool seeing ice cream makers, shaved ice machines, waffle makers, rice cookers, and more at this store. So much fun at affordable prices! I also ended up getting a small container of Vaseline with aloe for my lips. It works great for the massive price of $1. I had the most pleasant woman at the checkout. I'm not sure why folks have indicated that staff were rude. This woman asked if I had found everything that I wanted. I sure did and bought stuff that I didn't even know that I needed! I paid with a credit card. The transaction went through without a hitch. Because I had done quite a bit of damage, I got a huge plastic bag for free. Yay! I should visit Factory Direct more often. I had such a great shopping experience here. The travel section, in particular, had great finds that I wasn't expecting. It's a great store with decent prices. I'd definitely return again. (308)
