If you’re ever needing a new cell phone. Go to Best Buy. I dropped my phone in a bucket of water. Went to my carrier it was going to be a two hour wait. Went to Best Buy and I walked out of there with a new phone in 20 minutes. Completely amazed at what great service they had

Best Buy in Champaign provided great service. We bought an iPhone 13 Pro Max online and scheduled pickup there. Jackie helped wirh initial setup and then data migration from old iPhone to new iPhone.Jackie was great, very patient with two 67+ year old customers. We couldnt be happier, our new iPhone 13 Pro Max is marvelous.

I had a positive review of this place beforehand, but the overwhelming levels of incompetencey have given me no choice but to change it. We went in and ordered a computer, simple enough? We confirmed it was going to the correct address, and left. We check online, wrong address. We call and get it fixed, and youll never guess what happened. They still, after confirming it was the correct address twice, shipped it to the wrong address. This is about the same level of competency I would expect if the store was run by a group of salmon - out of the water.

They were amazing. They knew exactly what my husband was looking for when we asked. So service gets a 10 from me the young Lady that assisted us I cant remember her name but if I did I would totally give her a shout out. Our experience was really good and they just dont know how much we appreciated the help and knowledge that they had.

I’ve spent the better part of the last few weeks making several purchases at this Best Buy in Champaign and I couldn’t be any more pleased with the customer service. Michael, who has been there for eight years, helped me on at least two of the occasions. Let me tell you, Michael was a godsend. He’s tech savvy and didn’t rush me. He answered my questions and offered solutions. Michael, if you are reading this - tell your boss you need a raise. Thank you for your excellent customer service. I’m sure I’ll be back.

Ive never been disappointed with electronics Ive purchased here. Ive bought pre-pay cell phones, games, TV, and recently a computer monitor. I trust them over any other store because of them having the Geek Squad to help me out.

I honestly dont know why they bother being a brick and mortar store, they cant keep inventory on the shelves. Have no idea when theyll have anything, but you can order it online, but hey its out of stock there too. Great place if you want to spend more than you would anywhere else.

It is a good and clean store. Sometimes its a bit of a wait to get help. Curbside pick-up is a great addition.

I came to the store a couple weeks ago to buy a Nintendo Switch and Pokemon Snap because it had just came out and Juan was such a great help. There had been no Switches left on the floor so he was able to get me the last one they had that was not the display. I was so happy he was able to help me out since this was the 4th store I had been to that day. Best Buy, give this man a raise! Hes earned it. Again, thank you Juan for helping me find a hard to get item.

Did not have a good experience with Mykie at Geek Squad. The entire time he made me feel like the issue was my fault without listening to me. He proceeded to act like there was a drop of water on my computer when there was nothing, and continuously wiped it. It did not seem like he wanted to help at all. I showed the issue to him and he stated that he “couldn’t see anything happening”. Do not recommend, just go somewhere else.

I went in to get a new Macbook, the people were great, however, I’d ask the same question to 2/3 different people and get different answers, very confusing. I asked if I could use a mouse with an iPad, one person said no, another said yes. Same with whether or not I would receive any cash for trading in my current laptop.

My friend broke her apple product and sent it to this location to get it fixed. They told her it would take 2-3 days and it has now been 2 weeks. She has called them many times, but they have hung up on her twice now. Their customer service at this location in Champaign is atrocious and unprofessional. Do NOT go to this best buy if youre not buying a new product.

Store is completely wheelchair accessible. I am in a wheelchair and I can get around this entire store without issue. The parking spaces sometimes can be a pain if people park on the cross lines. Unfortunately the business has to call the police to have anything done because the parking lot is considered private property of the business. Crazy!!

Ended up accidentally sending the order to the wrong store. BUT, since it wasnt my order (I was accompanying a friend) I can safely say that at least the stores staff were completely professional and polite through the situation and the place was very clean and neat ^_^

The guy we were working with kept walking away to help other customers when he was working with us. We finally decided on a TV because we love Best Buy and thats the only reason we bought the TV there. If we were to buy a TV there based on the associate who was assisting us, we wouldnt have bought it there. This is the first time Ive ever been disappointed with the customer service weve received.

Was not what I expected...Best Buy has gone down hill. Amazon must be taking their buisness bc they hardly have anything in their store. I was disappointed. No one ever asked me if I needed help finding anything. Roamed around looking for certain items that were no where to be found.

I usually go directly to my phone carrier to upgrade my phone and have not had the best experience. Decided to try best buy and had a wonderful experience! They were very knowledgeable and found me the perfect phone for what I need and it was $200 below my budget! They transferred everything from my old phone to my new phone seamlessly and I was out the door in under an hour from start to finish.

BAD EXPERIENCE!I went here to return switch games I bought online. A lady said the opened games can’t be return. I know she was wrong because I have read policy online, and I am disappointed no matter why she said this. If she is not aware of this policy, then she shouldn’t work at the customer service desk. If she knows return is allowed, why she refused to help me and told me it’s not possible?I didn’t argue because I know there is UPS option and even if I argue she might insist on not allowing return. Before going to UPS, I chat with the agent on Best Buy online. I am regret that I didn’t do this in the store and show this to that lady. I wish I know her name and I can report to her manager. They probably need more training on the customer service I guess.

I went to Best Buy after a horrible experience at Walmart trying to find headphone for my son. At Best Buy, one the store is way cleaner and two, the customer service was 5 star!! Logan spent almost an hour helping me find the perfect headphones for my sons needs. They have 3 sections of headphones and he went back and forth with until I was satisfied. His customer service was the best I have received in a very long time. Thank you Logan.

The Bloomington Best Buy screwed up my curbside order. The Champaign Best Buy fixed it. Kudos to the Champaign location, and a big fat raspberry to the Bloomington store for thinking it was a good idea to let a laptop computer be sold that had no power cord. So, an average of three stars. Five for Champaign, one for Bloomington.

I went in to pick up a new phone I had ordered online and they were extremely helpful. The entire online pick up system had crashed, leaving them unable to find my order initially and were offered to help me get one off of their stock and cancel the other order. When the original order was found (as they were trying to cancel it) they voided out the new product without a second thought. They were extremely professional as they tried to complete my order even though the system was down, eventually needing to pull out a binder and complete it that way. They remained professional the whole time and it was a great experience despite the road bumps.

Step daughter bought an open box computer from bestbuy.com. The representative on the chat said that the computer would come with a clean windows operating system. The computer came with the retail image that wouldnt give us access to the admin account, and erased all changes with every restart. Customer service failed us online, over the phone, and at the store.

If you want to buy something from Best Buy just do it yourself or do a curbside pick up. My item was slammed on the counter and now I have to do a return of a very scarce Item.

The service was fine but the salesperson said if I reactivated my account I would receive a 10 percent discount. When I received my bill, no discount. I called customer service to learn that it is NOT a 10 percent discount, it is a rebate type offer. In other words, I must purchase something else in the store in order to get my discount. I think that should have been explained-I think this practice is deceptive.

So disappointed in how my husband was treated today when we went to pay. We came to this store to make a purchase when we went up to cashier to pay he was refused service because he was not wearing a mask. My husband has health issues that he physically cant wear anything over his mouth and nose. My daughter and myself wore mask. The cashier rudely said she would not service him. People should not judge others without knowing individual circumstances. What would have happened if I wasnt with him?? We live in the country far away from any Best Buy. Its infuriating and disappointing people are treating others like this. Best buy lost our business and I will make sure to spread word of how we were treated today.

I just bought my galaxy note 10+ from this place. First of all, Cody was incredibly helpful through the entire process. He was incredibly helpful, answered all my questioned, educated me and blew me away with his knowledge. He was very patient with me and walked me through all the steps. This phone, by the way, is incredible. The photos are just phenomenal,as you can clearly see. The stylus is responsive and I can pretty much do anything I want with this phone. Best buy has always been nothing but helpful and the prices are always unbeatable. Cody Likens is an incredible sales consultant, and goes above and beyond to make sure the customers needs are met. If his boss is reading this, Cody deserves a raise. And I mean that. I always get fantastic service at best buy but he is phenomenal. Keep up the great work!

Took my phone into geek squad for a shattered screen, set up an appointment ahead of time. When my father in law and I arrive we’re turned away and laughed at because our appointment was never confirmed. Okay fine, we set up another one for two weeks later and show up on time. I can’t remember the guys name who helped us but he was already with someone before us, no biggy. He proceeds then to bounce between the two of us which is no problem. 15 minutes pass and we’re still trying to log into my phone through the computer (completely busted screen and won’t register touch screen being used). He then tells me that if it doesn’t work within the next 5 minutes we’d just have to leave without fixing my phone, even though the appointment time for the person before us indicated he had already been there for an hour or more. Finally get into my phone and get it fixed. But now I’ve had more problems than if I didn’t bring it in. My screen isn’t shattered anymore but it still doesn’t register when I’m touching it 60% of the time. I spend about 10 minutes trying to get my face id to even pull up now. I don’t know what they did but just replace your phone instead of bringing it here.

This place has been a to-go for any need of electronic device. I have been a customer since 2011. Although I have not a lot of business going with this store, whenever I come, I feel satisfied.There was a time when I purchased a $800 desktop, it was a great deal and great value. I was just not having time to use it anymore, so I returned it after about a month since the purchase date. Surprisingly they still accepted the return. I guess it was a Thanksgiving - Christmas deal, but the fact that they allow a 1-month return is amazing.The staff is also helpful. I will not say all of them are, but overall they are.You will want to do a little research before coming here, they are good sale representatives, so they will sell you a lot.Also, use your critical thinking and ask why to whatever the sale person is trying to offer.
