Their advice has served me in good stead over the years which I appreciate. I trust them for my computer and technology needs entirely, and am glad to keep my money local and support these good employees.

I had my phone screen replaced at this location less than three weeks ago, and the screen has…read morealready completely failed. I did not drop the phone, expose it to moisture, or misuse it in any way. I simply took it out of my pocket and the display was suddenly unusable--green and black discoloration with severe lines across the screen. For context, the phone was in a protective case and had a screen protector installed at the time. Despite these protections and normal, careful use, the replacement screen still catastrophically failed. A screen replacement should last significantly longer than a few weeks. This kind of failure strongly suggests low-quality parts and/or poor workmanship. I now have a non-functional device after paying for a repair that was supposed to fix the problem, not create a new one. The inconvenience, cost, and time wasted dealing with this issue are unacceptable. I would strongly caution others against using this business if they expect a reliable, durable repair or any reasonable standard of quality control.

A bit annoyed. I brought my PC in because it wasn't turning on, stating that I had tested the RAM…read moresticks and GPU, and had tried installing a new PSU but that hadn't worked either. I thought then that the motherboard or the CPU was probably the issue and stated as much when I gave him it. 100 dollars and a week later he calls me saying that he also believes it to be the motherboard or CPU but can't test which specifically since they don't have testbeds for AMD CPU's. This seems absurd to me given AMD is ~30% of commercial CPUs. He then tried to upsell me by asking if I wanted to get a "real" intel CPU/motherboard combo. I feel that I have essentially paid 100 dollars to be told something I already knew.

I purchased a hole punch, that I discovered after returning home, was broken. The cashier, on…read morepurchase, informed me that there was a 14 day return period. Upon returning to the store, I was given a couple options. Option 1. Take it and hold it for an exchange. Option 2. Pay for a new one that they would order in (why do I need to pay to stock store shelves?). And option 3. Hold onto it and return it, then buy another one when it's restocked. We discussed that option 3 would work best for me, since I need it to make face shields to donate do healthcare workers on the front line. However I voiced a concern with the store manager that since it was broken out of the box, broken merchandise would not be accepted as a return some unknown number of weeks down the line. Rhonda, the store manager, was unwilling to provide a written note of acknowledgement on this issue, and proceeded to provide me with a bureaucratical re-reading of the return policy on the receipt. Which, as per staples.com, requires that the product "be returned in saleable condition with the original packaging." Being that this was damaged, that return policy did not apply, and I feel as if Rhonda was attempting to manipulate me into a sale for which no return policy or remediation would exist. Given these circumstances, I had no choice to return the product. Thank you, Rhonda, for your ability to easily deny any accountability, for providing me inaccurate information regarding the Staples return policy, and for delaying a shipment of important medical supplies.

We are maxed out on their available speeds. Tech/ service guys are very helpful and nice but even they can not overcome the limitations of their technology.

Sorry Air-pipe... we gave you three years to fix the service up here on the Cougar Gulch relay. Three years too long. From their business description, "Perfect for gaming or watching videos online" = total joke. If you enjoy watching 5 to10 sec snippets of a video at a time, this is the internet service for you.

Every service and install is individual to the customer's location. You have a huge tree problem. If you choose to cut your trees that is something that I wouldn't recommend doing unless you have us do a site survey. Info for a Site Survey is: Our Site Survey cost is, 95.00 at the time it is done. At the time we do the actual Install, we charge the full Install fee, 214.00, and then deduct the Site Survey fee 95.00. We keep track of this for you.
