My experience at store #608

So I pre ordered at store 608 in sanford fl from a guy named mike. He was extremely nice and said on pre order day we had a good shot of getting one since we were early. So I kept waiting on call and just decided to go in Wednesday and find out if we me and girlfriend were lucky and sure enough mike was there and told us we would br getting a call that afternoon to set up appt.
Our appt was for 12noon Thursday and mike once again was there ready 15 mins early knew our names and was happy to see us he got us up and running in about ten minutes with no hassles. Very courteous very very courteous I have always loved best buy and this just makes me love it more thanks again, Adam.

  • Signs indicating 'No Activation Fee" 12/21/09 Sanford Store#608

    On 123/21 Store #608 had signs stating'No Activation fee" on Verizon cell phones. I activated 3 lines, only to find that I have activation charges of $35,$35, and $25 on the respective phones.... Guess what,  Here come the phones back...Dmicohen
    Solved!

    That sign was correct. VZW was waiving activation fees up until the end of the year I believe. Usually what happens is you're charged the fee, and then you get a bill credit on your second or third bill.

  • Most Terrible Shopping Experience in Store #558

    On 8/2/2014 my husband and I went to the Best Buy AVENTURA FL (Store 558) to purchase Ipad Air because we saw the flyer that it was in promotion from 8/2 to 8/4. I also planned to buy a charger for my cell phone.
    I asked a female employee to get two black 16G Ipad Airs out of cabinet for us, one for me and the other for husband. When she was checking out the first ipad, I gave her a "10% off one single item coupon" from USPS moving package. She scanned the coupon and it worked. Before I swiped my credit card, she said she want to talk with her manager to see if he accept this coupon or not. When the store manager came up to the counter, he asked me where did I get the coupon. I told him that I got it from USPS when I changed my address online. My husband also got one because he moved out with me. After he verified the coupon, the manager told me that the Ipad Air was on sale and could not be combined with any coupon. He said since the female employee already scanned my coupon, he will accept that coupon. But for the second ipad for my husband, he would not accept any coupon. My husband agreed and said he don't want to buy his ipad air as long as I can get one.
    To our supprise, the female employee void out my transaction and put both two ipad airs back into the cabinet. Therefore, I told her that I still want my ipad and asked her to continue my transaction. The female employee did not answer me. Instead, she gossiped with other employees and then went to find the manager. I could not hear what she told the other employee, but after she said something to the manager, the manager came to me saying "I'm not going to sell anything to you. You must leave the store". I was shocked at his reponse, I immediately asked "Why not?" He responded "The reason is I do not allow coupon on sale items". I argued back trying to get a valid reason becasue I could not accept his response as a valid reason to be denied shopping " Didn't you allow the coupon for one ipad just now? Also, even you don't allow coupon, you have no right to let us leave the store." He repeatedly said "I have the right to let you leave and you must obey". 
    At that point I knew it was useless to continue arguing with him, so I asked the manger for his name card. His name is Shakir (removed per forum guidelines). I told him I would file a claim for this unfair and unreasonable treatment. I tried to get the name of the female employee also, but Shakir refused to give me more information and pushed me out the store. He even told the guard to "make sure they could not be able to get back into this store".
    Never in my life have I been turned away from a store, denied from buying something. Expecially I am preganent, and I felt my baby kicking me inside when I was pushed out the store. I felt a lot insulted and could not help to cry after back to my car. I had no idea why Best Buy give manager such right to treat customers in this way. Maybe it is becasue my husband and I are Asian, minor in US.
    I believe not every Best Buy employee were trained to be work in this way. But for Aventura Best Buy store, most reviewers in google and yelp only give this store one star and claimed this store as the worst Best Buy store they ever been to. I do not want more people to get unfair treatment in the fure, so I make a decision to file a formal complaint to Shakir and that unnamed female employee. Hope someone can tell me how to file a claim and help me get a better explenation and apology. Thanks.

    Hello CCLiu,
    Visiting your local Best Buy store to purchase an exciting new product like an iPad Air should be fun and exciting, not a cause for conflict and unhappiness. There is never a time when it is appropriate for our store managers or staff to be anything but respectful of you and our other customers. I very much regret that you had to cope with such unprofessional behavior.
    I'm at a loss to explain why your transaction was handled the way it was, but I would like to work with you and the store leadership toward a mutually satisfactory resolution if at all possible. To that end, if you would send me a private message that includes your full name and preferred contact telephone number, I will do my best on your behalf.
    Please know that I'm grateful that you brought your experience to my attention.
    Sincerely,

  • Worst gaming trade experience in store to date!

    Had the worst experience in trading in games at a store I've been going to for 5 years.  Traded a bunch of games in and even though I asked 4 times if I was getting the 10% bonus for gamers unlocked, the rep did not add it.  Insult to injury, after calling a manager over to just credit me the difference, the manager refused and demanded I buy something rather than give me the credit.  The constant changing of the trade systems and formats have made GCu trading much harder, not to mention the fact that the customer service reps have no idea about it or anything to do with games and therefore always end up messing up or having no idea what you talk about. I really would like to get the difference, but for only $6, it is crazy I have to jump through so many hoops.  Can a mod please help my request?

    Hello russd,
    This is a very unfortunate situation and you shouldn't have to purchase anything extra to receive the Gamers Club Unlocked benefits.  
    I apologize for the lack of knowledge about the Trade-In process.  I'll be happy to further investigate your situation.  I'm sending you a private message.  Make sure you’re logged in, and click on the envelope icon on the upper right-hand corner of the page to check your forum inbox.
     

  • Itunes 7.6 stores 608 songs as 150.48 GB

    Please help, since udating to itunes 7.6 it is storing 608 songs as 150.48 GB so I can't put all songs and play lists on my i pod nano 4GB, my previous version of i tunes was storing the same amount of songs as roughly 2.8 GB. How can I fix this, the individual songs are still recognised as 128kbt, so am really confused!!!

    I'm also having the same problem. 100% CPU usage, and unresponsive. I thought it was the result of a hard drive migration I just did, but seeing that the same problem has come up for others so recently makes me think it's something else.
    Right now I really can't use itunes. Changing songs causes it to hang, as well as any other operation. Was working perfectly yesterday. I really don't get this. I''ve done permission checks, disk checks, uninstalled last.fm...Nothing helps.

  • Store large volume of Image files, what is better ?  File System or Oracle

    I am working on a IM (Image Management) software that need to store and manage over 8.000.000 images.
    I am not sure if I have to use File System to store images or database (blob or clob).
    Until now I only used File System.
    Could someone that already have any experience with store large volume of images tell me what is the advantages and disadvantages to use File System or to use Oracle Database ?
    My initial database will have 8.000.000 images and it will grow 3.000.000 at year.
    Each image will have sizes between 200 KB and 8 MB, but the mean is 300 KB.
    I am using Oracle 10g I. I read in others forums about postgresql and firebird, that isn't good store images on database because always database crashes.
    I need to know if with Oracle is the same and why. Can I trust in Oracle for this large service ? There are tips to store files on database ?
    Thank's for help.
    Best Regards,
    Eduardo
    Brazil.

    1) Assuming I'm doing my math correctly, you're talking about an initial load of 2.4 TB of images with roughly 0.9 TB added per year, right? That sort of data volume certainly isn't going to cause Oracle to crash, but it does put you into the realm of a rather large database, so you have to be rather careful with the architecture.
    2) CLOBs store Character Large OBjects, so you would not use a CLOB to store binary data. You can use a BLOB. And that may be fine if you just want the database to be a bit-bucket for images. Given the volume of images you are going to have, though, I'm going to wager that you'll want the database to be a bit more sophisticated about how the images are handled, so you probably want to use [Oracle interMedia|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14302/ch_intr.htm#IMURG1000] and store the data in OrdImage columns which provides a number of interfaces to better manage the data.
    3) Storing the data in a database would generally strike me as preferrable if only because of the recoverability implications. If you store data on a file system, you are inevitably going to have cases where an application writes a file and the transaction to insert the row into the database fails or a the transaction to delete a row from the database succeeds before the file is deleted, which can make things inconsistent (images with nothing in the database and database rows with no corresponding images). If something fails, you also can't restore the file system and the database to the same point in time.
    4) Given the volume of data you're dealing with, you may want to look closely at moving to 11g. There are substantial benefits to storing large objects in 11g with Advanced Compression (allowing you to compress the data in LOBs automatically and to automatically de-dupe data if you have similar images). SecureFile LOBs can also be used to substantially reduce the amount of REDO that gets generated when inserting data into a LOB column.

  • CQ5 Client Context stores on page load undefined

    I have noticed on several page loads, even on reset,  the client context values for default stores are initially undefined.  What is the explanation for that occuring.

    Hello,
    As per my experience most of the time the values shows as undefined when it actually not set in store. some of the time i also experience when store component shows undefined eventhough data stored in stores. Most of the time it works fine with context reset option which actually refresh the context cached data from store and for some time you can say its because of how stores implemented (persistent store Vs not persistent store) and that probably you can validate via going to edit page of client context component page http://<host>:<port>/etc/clientcontext/default/content.html.
    And if your case is more wierd than this then check with day care.
    Thanks,

  • Ordering a product on the Online Apple store and delivering it in the Apple store instead of home.

    Hello,
    I'm about to buy a Macbook pro with an upgraded configuration for my birthday.
    And here http://store.apple.com/hk/buy-mac/macbook-pro   you can see in the section "Configure to Order" that upgraded configuration can be made only at the Apple Online Store.  But I'm in HongKong just for tourism, Im not living there. And i dont want to be delivered at the hotel. I would like instead that the macbook will be delivered to an apple store, and then i go there to pick it up.
    There is nothing indicating the restriction about that.
    So i made my upgrade and check the delivery conditions : 
    Available to ship:
    1-3 business days
    Free Shipping
    Shopping in Hong Kong
    The Apple Online Store Hong Kong sells and ships items only within Hong Kong. You may not export any products purchased at the online Apple Store. The Apple Store sells and ships products to end user customers only. Notwithstanding order confirmation Apple may cancel any order where it has reasonable grounds to believe the product is not being purchased for end use.
    The Apple Online Store Hong Kong does not support shipping items in a single order to multiple shipping addresses. To ship items to an additional address, please place a new order on the Apple Online Store.
    For additional shopping options, visit the "Other Ways to Shop" section of the Shopping Experience online Help page.
    And the page Shopping Experience (http://store.apple.com/hk/help/shopping_experience.html) is empty ( The page you're looking for can't be found. Please try one of the links below. )
    It is not indicated that if i can or cant deliver the macbook in an apple store to pick it up when i ll pass there.
    Anyone can help me on this point ? thanks you very much.

    Hello,
    had anybody experience in integration of SAP SNC Supplier Network  Collaboration with SAP ERP via BizTalk Server?
    Versions: SAP ECC 6.0 Ehp5 SPS11, SAP SNC  current version (7.0?)
    We will have to integrate following processes:

    Are there experiences, success stories, pitfalls, issues to be known, recommendations, known efforts in this forum?
    Thanks in advance.

  • PhotoSmart 2710 Printer Feeder cannot handle more than one page at a time

     1. Product Name and Number -> Photosmart 2710 Wireless All in One Printer
     2. Operating System installed (if applicable)  -> OSX 10.6 / 10.7
     3. Error message (if any)  -> None
     4. Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred -> None
    My printer works fine except that the paper feeder has difficulty feeding more than one sheet at a time.  When I put a stack of more than one sheet of paper in the feeder tray, the printer might successfully print one or two pages, but then pages will overlap (top of printed page is on one sheet, bottom on another or multiple sheets will be grabbed at the same time so only the first sheet gets printed and the others are blank.
    I do mostly standard office paper printing so no real experience with heavier pages.  I get my paper from Office Supply stores, like Staples, and brand does not seem to make a difference.  Have had same experience with Store Brands, National paper company brands and have even used HP branded paper with same results.
    I have no problems when I manually feed individual sheets to the printer  So I have essentially a single sheet printer.  Any help appreciated.
    Thank You

  • Site Creation directly in PROD system

    The standard way to create a new site in WB01 is in DEV and transport it through to PROD and move the customer via ALE.
    Are there many customers out there who have experince in creation of the site in WB01 directly in Production environment. I know it's possible in WB01 but then the configuration for site is blocked. If all configuration data is proposed correctly from the site creation reference store it should be possible without opening the client for configuration.
    Only problem is if ever any of the configuration changes for an existing site, we would have to open the productive system for configuration to do it.
    Does anybody have experience creating stores directly in Production in WB01, is it a workable solution?

    Dear Rudy,
    Yes...you can provided you copied properly from reference Sites.
    Site master is vital organization unit in Retail business operation. So, entire IMG settings are depends upon this Site master.  If Site master data not copied properly from reference Sites, cascading effect are enormous.
    Therefore, I strongly suggest and recommend you to create Site master using transaction code WB01in Golder Master and then you can move (through ALE) to Development / Quality client for necessary testing.
    After integration testing, again you can move to Production Client through ALE.

  • Help... I cant update my Os

    I have a Macbook pro and its running the Mac Os X Version 10.6.8
    I recently tried to install a software and it wouldnt let me as i need minimum of Version 10.7 which i cannot find anywere...
    I have tired software updates and install them all and also tried downloading OS 10.7.4 and i wont let me update as i dont have 10.7
    Please help

    Depending on which Mac you have you may have three choices to upgrade to: 10.7 Lion, 10.8 Mavericks (both paid for upgrades) or 10.9 Mavericks (free). Upgrading to any one of them may render some of your older applications unusable as none of the upgrades support Rosetta which enabled older PowerPC apps to run, so it's worth checking for compatibility problems before upgrading:
    http://roaringapps.com/apps?index=a
    Also, before upgrading, make sure you have enough RAM for the new OS to run efficiently. They all state that 2gb is required, although 4gb or more would offer a much better user experience:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion
    Mavericks is available directly from the Mac App Store in the Apple Menu.
    Before upgrading ensure that you have tried and tested backup that you can restore from should you need to for any reason.

  • Status of Exchange Functionality?

    Subject, says it all; what is the status of the iphone's Exchange stagefright? The number of users reporting its refusal to contact & sync with Exchange clearly shows that Activesync integration is broken in some way. The Apple resources on resolving connection issues are laughable (ie: the "Enterprise" sales page being posted as a resource, "try domain or no domain", etc) and seem less intuitive than many of the posters suggestions here. Has anyone at the least gotten an acknowledgment of the issue from support, or just the usual "this is the first we've heard of it, keep beta testing our product" response?
    I'm not about to allow several of my users to switch to the iphone if this is the experience in store for them (and me, when the endless hard resets and restores are necessary).

    *"so, the fact that it works for you must mean that there's no problem? "*
    Yep. Exactly right. You hit the nail right on the head.
    *"we can all rest knowing that it works for you."*
    That was my goal...

  • Order related customer service concerns

    The year end holidays are rapidly approaching and there are a number of new members joining to share various experiences and stories related to their ordering process.
    We have had record sales volumes and the phones are very busy right now - hold times may be long.
    I would recommend calling 1-866-428-4465 between the hours of 11am and 1pm EST or after 4pm EST to minimize hold times. 
    Email and Fax are alternatives, but these communication channels are largely covered by some of the same sales support resources that are responding to phone calls, so response times on these secondary channels may be long as well.
    If you have a delayed order - it will help keep the discussions organized if you will find and join your comments to one of the existing shipping discussion threads floated to the top of most of the product family boards.  For example if you are waiting on a Y550 IdeaPad, you would join the shipping discussion on the Y and U series IdeaPad board.
    If you have more general order related questions -   Payment methods,  split orders, cancellations or returns, you can append here to this discussion thread.   Please keep in mind that this forum is a peer to peer support community - we are not staffed to provide individual service through this channel.

    Hi,
    I am sorry I have to post here, but I simply seem to hit a roadblock to try to communicate with Lenovo through other channels.
    I placed an order for the Ideapad Y550 offer on 12/3/2009, 3:54 p.m.
    IdeaPad Y550
    Packed with multimedia features.
    Intel Core(TM) Duo T6600 processor
    Genuine Windows (R) 7 Home Premium
    15.6" Wide HD Display (1080p)
    3GB memory & 250GB hard drive
    Dolby(R) Home Theater (TM) w/ 2 speakers + subwoofer
    (Note that I upgraded some components further)
    It occurred to me that
    a) the coupon code USPGIFTY550 for the extended Cyber Monday event was not applied for some reason and tried to contact customer care and [email protected] right away. (Some shopping cart glitch it seemed, it was displayed at one point and suddenly it seemed to be gone when ordering)
    b) I also wanted to ensure that the product is as advertised because I notice that the order summary suddenly did NOT mention the FULL-HD 1080P display that was advertised in the web-ad, but there was no way to change the configuration, so I have to assume it is going to be 1080P.
    Up until now (12/13/2009), it seems that the system is still advertised with FULL-HD (meaning 1080p) but the system configuration does NOT reflect that.
    So I attached a screenshot of the ad also in my communciation with Lenovo.
    For those problems, I tried to contact Lenovo at [email protected]:
    at
    12/03/2009, 7:55 p.m.
    12/04/2009, 12:20 p.m.
    12/08/2009, 6:58 p.m.
    12/09/2009, 9:44 p.m.
    And I tried to send a FAX to the mentioned Lenovo FAX number at 12/07/2009 - no response either.
    I unfortunately do not have the luxury do have spare time during daytime to make phone calls and not even be connected to someone, I actually tried a few times which could get me into trouble for doing that when I have to do other work, but it was just a waste of time.
    I also strongly prefer written communication since then you have an accountable record of what happened and what was said.
    How can you go ahead and ship a system before rectifying those concerns?
    I have no tolerance for companies simply ignoring customer communication, I do not take "high volume" or "oh, it was Thanksgiving/Black Friday/Cyber Monday" as much of an excuse. A company planning and doing a major promotion has to anticipate a major customer response and thus ramp up their capacity to deal with that. It is in their domain of responsibility. We are not talking about a mom&pop shop who is surprised to be featured at Oprah here and suddenly be overwhelmed.
    The system is meant as a gift for immediate (elderly) family who live on another continent, who I do not see not often, so it better be exactly as advertised and the coupon better be applied.
    I wish I could attach the picture of the advertisment at Lenovo.com here, but the web page still advertises a FULL-HD system, text says:
    "Packed with multimedia features, DDR3 memory for fast processing, advanced graphics and a high-end Full HD 16:9 widescreen panel for a true cinematic experience. "
    The advertisment has been online for a long time, it cannot be a mistake and I have confirmed that the system actually has been and is available in some places with FULL HD, so I am expecting my system to reflect that even though the information available online is confusing right now.
    If my worries are true which is underlined by what seems to be refusal to communicate with me through email it feels like someone is delaying the communication which underlines that it is like bait&switch, advertising FULL-HD and shipping something else, cannot be an error when being advertised for weeks. This is not only illegal but depending on the severity of the case and legislation can even be a prosecutable offense.
    I am extremely dissatisfied right now.
    What is Lenovo going to do to make me happy again?
    Issues/Concerns summarized: Coupon/Pricing; FULL HD (1080p) display and total non-responsiveness for 10 days.
    I hope we do not have to go the route of more negative publicity and further escalation.
    Regards,
