My bestie who's very picky with customer service made the choice and advise me as well yeeeeeeears ago when there was contracts back then and I still agree how great they are to this day. Always friendly and helpful even when I have a ridiculous question they do take care the best they can. This location is in SALT at Kaka'ako and the lot right along Ala Moana Blvd does seem intimidating but it's so easy as the first hour is free no validation is needed which is something I shouldn't say as this location is always pretty mellow. Another reason...how about T-Mobile Tuesday!?! You do need the app but every week there's a deal and sometimes merchandise you do need to pick up on Tuesday only. I've gotten cup, mug, drawstring bag, umbrella and even a selfie light which I used viewing Christmas lights at Honolulu Hale. Be a smart cookie as browsing around is exausting...thank you T-Mobile!

Free schwag from T-Mobile…read more.. If you're a customer of T-Mobile, make sure you check your T-Mobile Tuesdays app for all of the freebies and discounts that they post every Tuesday. This week (1-24-23), customers could pick up an umbrella from any T-Mobile store. I used my Yelp app and located the nearest store - which was at the SALT complex on the corner of Ala Moana Boulevard and Keawe Street. Ahh... I've passed by that location many times. It's along the strip of businesses: Moku Kitchen, Starbucks, and Highway Inn! They have a parking lot right in front. Enter the parking lot from Coral Street Take a ticket from the machine and the "arm" will lift. Even though it's a paid parking lot you will not have to pay because the transaction will be quick. The first hour of parking is free! When I entered the spacious shop, Chris greeted me right away! He's so personable and helpful! I told him he's really good at his job! I commented that this store is the largest that I've ever seen. He explained that it used to be one of two Sprint stores on O'ahu and - at that time - Sprint needed the space because there were a lot of customers split between two locations. Now that Sprint and T-Mobile have merged, the Sprint customers can go anywhere that T-Mobile is now! Yay! Anyway, Chris guided me through the redemption process - click here and there on the T-Mobile Tuesday app... And voila! I got the free T-Mobile umbrella! It's perfect! Thanks to Chris and T-Mobile for a wonderful experience! I wouldn't hesitate to return - if I ever had a question!

Understandably this place is not the epicenter if customer service experiences. They have a vast…read morevariety of upgrading, repair, networking and other residential and industrial electrical and system security hardware. I have been sending my employees here for many more years than I would like to admit. I decided to take my kids with me as a learning experience as we were doing a home networking project. We needed a 16 port PoE switch, thats all. It should have been easy to find, or even order, but no one offered any assistance at all. Which again is understandable because customer service is not their forte. Nonetheless, when I finally found where the PoE Switches were it made sense that I could not find them. They are situated behind what looks like a help desk with an employee sitting at it. This is the root of my one star review. The person sitting at this station, did not acknowledge us at all but for a subtle scoot of his stool to make room for us to look behind him at the switches. At first I was confused, by this thinking it was an employee only area. But then I realized that the employee was glued to the YouTube playing on his screen, totally explaining his inability to acknowledge our existence. If he was my employee, he would have to be retrained or find someplace else to work. Meh. It is what it is. When I saw this, I said forget it, went home and bought my 16 port PoE Switch on Amazon. Like I mentioned earlier, they have a really good product selection. But if you are rushed for time, not familiar with their store, or not sure what exactly you are looking for they are not like BestBuy, CompUSA or Circuit City by any means at all.

Industrial Electronics has been doing business in Honolulu for over 60 years. Owner Manfred and his team are Hawaii's leader in all the various electronic supply. They carry all types of wiring, connectors, network cabling and LAN products. They also carry a large quantity of test equipment. My favorite being Fluke... Costly meters, but well worth the price. You'll be happy you made the investment. Operating hours: Mon - Fri: 6am - 4pm The staff is extremely helpful, especially if you don't speak the IT lingo... Lol.

I went to audio lab because a friend recommended me to go there (I'll bring this back to the…read moreconversation later) For someone new to HIFI Tom was great. He sounded like he knew his stuff, had a lot of equipment and my friend said he was willing to barter. I bought a pair of Martin Logan quests that he had on consignment from a kid. These are 6ft tall Electrostatic speakers that sounded awesome in his shop from 8ft away. I got them home and noticed that they always made a static hum when plugged in. After I spoke with Tom he actually sent the kid who had them in consignment to look at them at my house. The kid literally showed me photos of where he bought them, how he refurbished them and actually showered with the panel's to clean them. Yes he had a video of him in the shower with them... Needless to say, even if the hum could be solved I wanted these things gone since i knew they were a RIP off since the kid bought them for a hundred bucks and tom told me they were a steal for 2500. Tom gave me a junk old sony tower to replace these things until my 8,000 kef order came in. After a month I asked for shipping information and Tom said they were making them in the factory still. Smelling something rotten I told him to give me an email from the manufacturer saying there was a delay in shipment. Then Tom said they were shipped and on the boat. Another month later I asked for the speakers and Tol gave me a story about how there was a shipping error. I told him I know how to ship and the way it works, there was no error you never ordered them. He came clean and said yes, Kef wouldnt send him speakers unless he paid them first and he didnt have money to ship them. I was amazed that Tom didnt use my money to order speakers i.bought. After threatening lawsuits and sending him a convincing demand letter (I am good at making them) he gave me 2 checks to cash 2 weeks apart. Tom is a nice guy but a horrible businessman. He also gave me great NIB speakers that were probably 10 years old and were sitting in a warehouse but he said they were new, 10 year old new speakers are still 10 years old. Back to my friend. I told him the story and he said "sounds like Tom" basically he bought a subwoofer from tom that ended up being completely broken because Tom never even hooked it up. Tom refunded my friend all his money and my friend was smart enough to call the manufacturer to get all the replaced parts for the sub, so basically my friend got a pair (another story) of $2500 subs because Tom is an idiot. Buy his stuff, but DO NOT GIVR HIM MONEY WITHOUT PRODUCT IN HAND

Joyce, you're in Hawaii. Why are you at a Target?…read more I needed cheap water, okay? The first night after my flight, I bought water for $6. Here at Target? It was $2. Leave me alone! Is this Target in the World's Largest Outdoor Mall? Yes! It's kind of odd but it serves its purpose. I got some Hawaiian Islands Tea for a friend here who had requested it as a souvenir that I wasn't able to find at ABC Stores so it was perfect. I forgot that Hawaii has a strict statewide ban on single-use plastic bags at checkout. Most retailers do not provide bags, or they charge for reusable/paper bags. At Target, you can buy a cool bag that says "Mahalo." "Life is short ― buy the bag."

Their selection of supermarket items is impressive and the store itself is convenient as a one-stop shop for other things such as toiletries, kitchen supplies, pharmaceutical items, and much more.

I park near the online pick up parking area and am able to wheel my shopping cart right up to my vehicle. I have never experienced anything but courtesy from their staff at checkout which is a breath of fresh air compared to other supermarkets such as Whole Foods and Safeway.

IE is one of two authorized LG TV service providers on island. LG didn't make it easy for him, but ultimately they shipped a whole panel to Hawaii and he swapped out the various boards.

With that I never got a greet or much attention and that didn't really bother me as I seriously was looking at some of their products which what seems to be majority targeting to the smart phone accessories...with chargers, headphones, car mount and battery cases. As I browsed further I came to realize a couple items I've seen at a craft/product show and have purchased a charger only for it to stop charging like it originally did and it wasn't cheap. As my older phone can't handle a day without a good charge I was talked into a product only for it to shop working and am sad but learned the hard way but hope that other products are good but I'm not willing to risk it.
