Customer reviews
This is now an Amazon return center. They are pretty efficient with processing them.
That associate there was very nice...took my return and had me out quickly@
Anytime i need to deal with something i ask for Bianca she's the only person i want to help me because she knows what she doing and she very respectful
Bianca is great! Super nice communication outstanding! She hooked me up with electronics!!
I had a great experience. This aloud me to buy something I couldn't afford outright but needed ASAP. The team and customer service couldn't have been better.
Your employees are scam artists and tried to get me to pay more out of pocket that I am required and one of your employees at altamont ave actually told me that they could not help at all without giving them extra money. They are scammers and are trying to take people hard earned money Scammers will be reported to the attorney general and the bbb
If I could give them 0 star's I would! Worst place ever! I was trying to give them good reliable business during the corona pandemic. They were totally unprofessional. Never have I heard so many excuses for a company to not want to do it's job. When they ran out of excuses not to work the lies started. Do not waste your time here! You will only be mistreated and no work will get done. They charged my credit card for $30. I still have not got any money back. I have the digital receipts for the charge and no return. They blame it on my bank. My bank has no record of the refund!!! Absolutely absurd and horrible!!!
