I went to this place trying to get my computer diagnosed and repaired in July last year. The person…read moretold me very confidently that it was the issue of the fan, and the only thing needed was to replace it. Also, they promised a date when the fan would be available, and I believed it. However, when the day came, they said they would need another few days. Using the computer was very important to me, so I got annoyed and switched to another place. At the new place, I was told the issue with my computer was because of a completely different reason, and they helped me repair it smoothly. Glad that the delay helped me avoid further loss with this unreliable KY electronics. Unfortunately, although the diagnosis result was a complete error. I was not refunded for the diagnosis fee. Edit: The business owner replied saying that my job was on May 29, 2024, which is completely false. I wasn't even at the Bay Area during that time. Either he intentionally mixed me up with someone else or simply made up the story. Apparently, I have no point of making up a negative review if being satisfied as the customer, but the business owner has full motivation to respond to negative reviews by making up stories when he cannot reasonably dispute it, and it seems he has been doing it for many other reviews as well.

I worked with the Magnolia Home Theater team at Best Buy Santana Row for a home A/V project from…read moreDecember 2024 through February 2025. Alfredo Villagomez was assigned as my point of contact. Prior to project payment, communication was prompt and responsive. During installation, I was advised to order more materials than needed (speaker wire, RG6 cables, power conditioner) as a precaution, with the clear assurance that any excess would be returned and refunded by Best Buy. Following completion, I personally returned all excess materials to the store, exactly as aligned with the Magnolia team. Fast forward to today -- it has been over 7 months and more than 15 calls, emails, and messages, with zero response or resolution. Alfredo has effectively gone completely unresponsive. I was advised to escalate to his manager, Austin Nicholson, but it has now been 2 months since escalation with still no acknowledgment or follow-up. This reflects serious organizational and accountability issues. At a minimum, excess inventory should be flagged in their systems -- yet no action has been taken. What's most concerning is the complete lack of ownership or effort to reconcile the issue. This is the first time I've experienced a large national retailer effectively keeping a customer's money without explanation or response. Very disappointing experience from a brand I expected far better from.

Lol a lot of items were behind the lock cabinets, but there was an employee behind the counter that could quickly come unlock everything. They had their own private parking lot in the back and prices were basically the same as online my son said, unless you were buying us somewhat used item from a private vendor. So yes, I will come here again to tag along with my son since I do not know how to make my own computer, but he does. He loves this place!!

It turns out they're an electronics warehouse that are liquidators for Amazon, Walmart, etc. They sell tons of hardware that are new / used / refurb at amazing prices. Tai showed me around the warehouse which he said is generally closed to the public (and they do have public openings occasionally), which was just full of name-brand electronics (Apple, Logitech, etc), and a lot of their stuff can be up to 75% off. I was directed to a pallet of the items to pick out whatever I felt looked "best". He offered to open the item in front of me so I can inspect the contents (it looked open box but it was actually completely new!) and mentioned that there is a 30 day return policy if I should have any issues. I really encourage you to come by when they do have openings as I saw some awesome stuff like laptops, iPads, graphics cards, fully built computers, etc for sale.

One less sale to a brick and mortar store. One less interaction with a human who can answer a question IRL and IRT. One missed opportunity to see and touch product for yourself. Sure you might get a sour reply. Or an agent who doesn't know a picofarad from a PC board. You might also get damaged deliveries from Amazon. Sure the return process is relatively painless, but the time spent is less productive than hammering out whatever issue it is with the store. I bought two Arduino kits from Amazon. One was damaged and couldn't be used so I searched for replacements and looked at Jameco. Their site yielded pages of replacements and alternatives. Between the selection and the descriptions, I was able to what I was looking for a a few things I didn't know I needed. Kind of like browsing at Fry's. Yes, they have minimum quantity purchases for many items. Yes, your browsing is going to be mostly online. When I went to pick up my items, the display area was basically the lobby. The person at the desk could answer some questions and "a guy in the back" could provide more detail. This is what it takes to maintain a physical retail presence for many specialty shops these days. I learned of Anchor from someone else, and I'll visit that store one day. But it's twice as far from me as Jameco, and Jameco delivered what I needed.
