With this location closing customer service is nonexistent.I truly hope the trend locations closing is not the new norm.That being said it’s good for my business which is mounting TVs. If you’re looking to have a TV mounted contact us directly

I scheduled a delivery of a tv from best buy. not only did they not show up, nobody called me to notify me that they were not coming.I rescheduled for today between 7 and 1. It is now 11:45 and I have heard nothing.

I purchased a front load washer from Best Buy. The installers refused to put my dryer back on top of the washer which I understood but they also used the old hoses from my former washer instead of the new ones they brought with them to connect the machine. They also installed the hot and cold water systems backwards so that when I press hot water I get cold and vice versa. I tried calling the service center many times and get the runaround that I have to pay someone to come out and remove the dryer from the washer before they can repair it. I asked if they would pay for this person to come out and do this and they said absolutely not. I would never ever ever buy anything again from Best Buy in Kingston. I think they have terrible customer service and the quality of their service people is reprehensible and shows their lack of training.

Did not have what I needed today 😣. Out of Trac phone cards for minutes for my sisters phone. No soap😲 in the womens bathrooms plus toilet paper rolls are sitting on the back of the toilets😲😲😲. I prefer the Best Buy at Crossgate Mall, however too far to go unless I am shopping at other stores in that area.

Helpful knowledgable staff while buying a laptop for my son. However not worth going to again as they are closing at the end of October 2020. Not much stock to choose from.

While both Representatives at BestBuy Kingston and the Verizon retailer I visited in Saugerties were both knowledgeable, patient, and helpful, I ended up with substantial savings at Best Buy with their upgrade sale price and got the Motorola G-power phone I wanted. Also, there was no additional charge to transfer data and no pressure to buy service plans, etc. It was a win-win for me and I have no complaints.

Fast service, got in and out very quickly. A lot of people came to try and help me even though I didnt really need much help, which I still appreciate. Better to be helped and not needed, then need help and not receive it.

Was offered a $35 gift card if I opened a charge acct with the when I bought my new phone. Was told I could use it to purchase the screen saver I needed was. Got the credit card in the mail in 2 weeks, as I was told I would, but no gift card. Called numerous times to find out where it was, got no help, just trans from one person to another. Went to the store where I got the phone. Was told too bad there is nothing I can do, you needed to purchase the phone on our credit card to get the gift card. If I knew that I would have. This was never said, or explained,. Just youll get your credit card and gift card in the mail was what I was told. I had out the phone on a credit card, I would have used theres if I had been told. I think this was deceptive, and seniors should be aware. If things arent explained by your sales people, that work for you,. How do you think I would know these things?DECEPTIVE PRACTICES JUST TO SELL STUFF!!!

Went to look for a new cellphone there wasnt really anyone to help me find a new cellphone. One young lady said they didnt have any cellphone that carry boost moble which is not fair to people who can afford the higher payments a monthe boost moble is cheaper a month $35 is what i pay. So i guess ill go some where else

I was surprised to find computer parts in stock here and their prices are as good as the ones from online retailers. I got instant gratification for the same price as having to wait for an online order to arrive. Returning a part is probably just as convenient, but I havent needed to do that.

Have always had a good experience here. Employees are helpful but dont constantly bombard you or hover which is much appreciated.Checking out is fast and they always have a well-stocked inventory so you usually know if they are going to have something youre looking for before you step foot in the door.

Im not a huge fan of Best Buy in general. The store in Kingston is ok and the staff is very friendly. I think there are better deals elsewhere and the selection at this particular location is pretty thin. Not bad if youre in the area but the one at Crossgates Mall has far more selection.

They have a great selection of electronics and a very helpful staff. It would be nice if they had more shopping carts to use (and smaller ones) that would be easier to maneuver through their crowded aisles. I enjoy going there occasionally but its difficult to spend the time I need without having to sit or have a cart to lean on.

This is one of the smaller Best Buys so if you are looking for a large selection of something like a camera you wont find it. However, you can order anything Best Buy sells online for store pick up.(You can also have home delivery but if I am not sure about a product I order it for store pickup so I can open and inspect and return all in one trip if needed.) Geek Squad there is helpful as well. Everyone who works there is helpful and polite and there seems to be a very good vibe among them.If you have a membership it is great as you earn points that give you coupons.

Very nice friendly knowledgeable staff, always ready to enlighten a technophobe like me. We bought our refrigerator and dishwasher there. They were able to give us a price break, they kept the delivery date and instalation was done properly. Were always happy with Best Buy electronics and appliances purchased at the Kingdom location.

I bought a samsung 75 tv in this place and the employees was the worst. nothing wrong with the merchandise but when they bring the box outside it was raining and i was trying to cover it with a tarp so the box dont get wet. this two employees just standing there waiting for me to wrap the box instead of helping me. Once they put the box in my truck it wont fit one of the employee said oh well thats how far it goes and left me. Ive been a costumer with bestbuy for decades and this was the worst experience.

Review №41

Best Buy has no really surprises, it’s a store that you can get DVDs in music computers etc. but don’t attempt to buy a washer or a dryer, refrigerator ect that has nothing to do with the electronics that Best Buy is best for. As for price I do like that they price match Amazon and a couple of other places, that makes them more feasible for local shopping

Review №42

Didnt really go there to buy anything, just was taking my nephew because there was something he wanted to buy. While he was getting the stuff he wanted, I was just walking around the store and I saw something I hadnt seen before so I asked the salesperson what it was. He not only explain to me what it was, he showed me he carried around one of these little devices also. When he was done I realized it was something I couldnt do without either. It was so nice that he took the time to answer my questions even when he didnt think I was going to buy anything so will I be going back to Best Buy? Yup no doubt about it.

I tried to contact the Kingston best buy 6 times in a row every time I could not get thru and was hung up on.

This Best Buy is one of very few electronics stores in the area, so its really nice to have it here. Usually well-stocked and well-kept, with friendly and fairly knowledgeable staff. As always, make sure you check for opportunities to price match with Amazon.

Great store and great staff. They have so much stock here so it should be easy to find whatever you are looking for. The other thing I found to be great is that their prices are no longer outrageous. They will price match as well. I saved almost $200 total on a computer mouse, mouse pad, keyboard and gaming headset all on Cyber Monday. The next day the prices went way up. Love great deals and this BestBuy has got great deals.

I assisted my friend on a shopping venture and the store looked like a ghost town. There was 1 attendant at each door, available to ask question and greet customers as they came and left, but absolutely no one over in appliances or gizmos (surround sound, speakers, blue tooth, car stuff)next door. The same cashier had to call for assistance three times, as the only other person with knowledge in the store was trying to help another customer on the opposite side. We waited over 45 minuets to discover, this was not in fact the person who belonged to this department, he was working late and covering for the person we needed. He answered our questions to the best of his ability and told us when the worker we needed would be back, and gave us all contact info needed. The frustrating part is, had we been told the specific person wasnt there to begin with, we would have left and came back another day, instead of waisting 45 minutes standing around aimlessly.

I stopped at the Kingston, NY store to purchase an SD card for my Samsung indoor security camera. I needed assistance in choosing the right one and since Best Buy sold the same model, I thought it would be simple. I brought up the model on the Best Buy web page for the salesman to reference. First he said the didnt sell that model in the store and didnt know if it took an adapter with a micro chip or a standard SD card so he suggested that I be safe and buy the combo. Finally, after coaxing he sighed and looked it up. He acted like I was keeping him from something much more important. I just read an article why Best Buy is successful in the world of Amazon. It was due to the service and guidance they provided. I did not experience this today.

Absolutely terrible customer service. Ive been shopping at the Kingston location for many years, it doesnt matter what time of day you walk into store, there is never anyone to help . If you have any questions, your better off looking up info on your phone or store computers. This way you will have answers, and correct ones at that. The manager should be proud.

Love Best Buy this store however is not the greatest. If you know what you are looking for then by all means go in pick it up and walk out. If you need help your phone is going to be your best source of help. On more than one occasion I have searched for help only to be brushed off like an annoyance.

On the one hand I’m very glad to have any bricks and mortar stores left selling electronics when I need them, in Kingston- thank you Best Buy.On the other hand, the clerk flat out told me there were no generic usb c chargers capable of charging a MacBook Pro on offer... I walked 20 feet and found an insignia branded one for myself, at half the price of the Apple one- and in the same wattage range. It even said on the box that it worked with MBP. I don’t know if the clerk lied so I would spend more, or if he was just very misinformed.

Horrible. Went in to purchase a new computer, and the computer sales rep. actually called my wife a b**** on the sales floor in front of other customers. Completely unacceptable.

Being a technophobe, and not very good with technology I need someone to kind of walk me through things. I have had great success with staff doing just that. The Geek Squad people have also helped when I make errors trying to set technology up. I recommend this store. One issue is that they are sometimes short of staff during busy times or sales. But waiting your turn is something I have learned and it pays off.

Pretty pissed off about a phone purchase. I dont like phones, and I finally cracked down to buy a decent one and take it serious, it was a prepaid boost and the entire thing was picked out for me. Finally, when they were setting it up, they said boost doesnt work in Woodstock, and we cant refund your money ($50) you can contact Boost and maybe they can refund your money. I told them Listen, I just came in here with $200. and now Im walking out with $150 and nothing the guy, although helpful, just said the manager is going to say the same thing, I walked to my car like how the f**k did that happen?????????
