A holy grail! Tons…read moreof plants both native & nonnative that you wouldn't find at a large-scale store like Home Depot or Lowe's (I know because I've been looking). Going on their website is helpful because you can see what is in stock, but I had no idea how vast this place was. I'd only been looking at CA native plants, so from my parking spot to the pick-up desk I maybe only covered 1/15th of the area, if that. I've been looking for a local nursery with a wide selection of California natives, & have been lurking Ricardo's Nursery's online selection for a month. Finally purchased a 1-gallon Cleveland sage (Salvia clevelandii 'Winnifred Gilman') for $12 & a 1-gallon Yankee Point Carmel Creeper (Ceanothus griseus var. horizontalis 'Yankee Point') for $10. They had different variations of each plant reserved for me for me to choose from which was so endearing because I am secretly picky. Spoke with Jose who was super cool. There's also a very chill dog :) I was surprised by how vast the selection was in-person. The white sage (salvia apiana) in stock is just gorgeous. There are soooo many others I want to purchase, so thank goodness for my wallet that my project is fairly limited. (For now!) I would've wandered around photographing every single plant if it wasn't a million degrees outside & I didn't have to be somewhere. In just the 3 minutes it took me to walk to the pick-up stand, many plants caught my eye & I was reading the labels to figure out who they were. Really loved this one plant I saw--Silver Falls dichondra (Dichondra argentea 'Silver Falls'). I cannot wait to come back when I have more time & resources to devote to gardening so that I can find more little friends. Thank you so much Ricardo's Nursery...!!

I would strongly caution anyone considering Lakewood Nursery…read more About a year ago, I purchased a large podocarpus tree from them for several hundred dollars and paid an additional couple hundred dollars for installation in the planter in front of my house. Not long after planting, the tree didn't seem to be developing properly, so I stopped by looking for advice. The experience was disappointing. The employee helping me appeared visibly intoxicated in the middle of the day (someone I believe is connected to ownership, as I had met him during the purchase). He was unhelpful and dismissive, so I left without any real guidance. I continued trying to care for the tree, but within two months it died. When I returned to ask whether there was any warranty, replacement option, or even assistance toward purchasing a new tree, I was met by a rude employee who immediately became defensive, repeatedly emphasizing that they are a "family-owned business" while offering zero accountability or solutions. Instead, I was blamed for the tree dying, despite the fact that I had already come in previously asking for help. For a business that sells and installs expensive trees, I expected at least some level of customer service, support, or professionalism. Instead, I got poor advice, no accountability, and an overall hostile experience. I'll be taking my business elsewhere and would recommend others do the same. Update: After digging up the dead tree, it was obvious why it failed. The root ball was extremely tight and root-bound, likely from sitting too long in the nursery box. It only had two mature roots supporting it, and both had been cut during removal and installation. They also didn't use fresh soil when planting it, which gave it little chance to establish. I went to another family-owned nursery afterward, and the difference was clear--they stood behind their product and offered a one-year warranty.

I actually went to a different Best Buy the night before and ended up leaving empty handed because that salesman would not leave our side and was too pushy. When I came to this location, the experience was completely different. Donaldo was the person who helped me. He was extremely patient, especially considering I had my 1-year-old grandson with me who was getting antsy! Donaldo answered all of my questions without making me feel rushed or pressured and mentioned that Best Buy employees don't work on commission, so there really shouldn't be any pressure to make a decision. He also explained the benefits of the $30 membership and what I would actually be getting with it. I appreciate that he took the time to explain it rather than just trying to sell it to me. I'm very happy with my new ASUS laptop and the experience I have every time at this location.

Overall, a very disappointing experience with Best Buy Mobile…read more Thirteen months ago, Best Buy installed a front and rear facing dash cam in my vehicle for $99. The installation took about 40 minutes. I remember because I was originally told it would take an hour, so I left the store and was called sooner than expected to come back. Fast forward 13 months. My dealership offered me a good deal to turn in my leased vehicle early, so I needed to have the cameras removed before returning the car. Since I planned to have Best Buy install the same cameras in my next vehicle, naturally I went back to them. The website didn't provide an option to schedule a dash cam uninstall, so I called Best Buy customer service. The representative was very nice and helpful. I explained exactly what I needed and that I intended to have Best Buy reinstall the cameras in my next vehicle. He initially told me the uninstall would cost $149, which already surprised me considering the original installation had only cost $99. After reviewing my history, he noted that I had previously had dash cams installed in two vehicles and said they would like to keep my business. He ultimately told me he would document the appointment as a warranty uninstall at $0. Based on that information, I scheduled an appointment for 4:00 p.m. that same day. At 2:45 p.m., the store called to confirm my appointment and even told me I could come in early. When I arrived, however, I was told the uninstall would cost $149. This led to a frustrating back and forth because I had made the decision to come to Best Buy that day specifically based on what their representative had told me. More importantly, I was turning the vehicle in to the dealership the following morning, so simply leaving and figuring it out later wasn't a practical option. What became apparent during the conversation was that there didn't seem to be a clearly established, published price for this service. We eventually agreed to charge based on labor: $49 for up to 30 minutes or $80 for up to 45 minutes. The technician explained that much of the time involved in removing dash cams can be spent removing the adhesive. I told her not to worry about removing the adhesive, just uninstall the cameras. Less than 20 minutes later, I received a call saying the job was finished. The technician was apologetic about what had happened and suggested that I call customer service again, spend more of my time explaining the situation, and hopefully reach the same representative. I explained that the representative I had spoken with was in a call center in Guatemala, so the chances of reaching that same person again seemed pretty unlikely. And here's the ironic part: when I got home, I put a little hand sanitizer on the remaining adhesive and scraped it off myself in less than 2 minutes. One additional observation: in just 13 months, the quoted price to install a front and rear dash cam has apparently increased by roughly 50%. My biggest issue isn't simply the price. Businesses raise prices. My issue is the lack of consistency and communication. A Best Buy representative quoted me one price, documented an agreement for $0, scheduled the appointment based on that agreement, and then the store presented an entirely different price when I arrived. When your customer service operation and your stores don't appear to be working from the same information, the customer ends up paying for that disconnect, in money, frustration, or wasted time. Between the significant price increases and outsourcing customer service to a BPO in Guatemala while apparently not giving those representatives the ability to provide pricing that stores will honor, Best Buy no longer feels like it is delivering the "Best Buy" or the best customer experience. After being a repeat customer and planning to bring my next dash cam installation back to Best Buy, this experience has definitely made me reconsider that decision.
