Circuit City

I am so glad that this place is gone
I was reading the an earlier review about this place
This person complains on why there is a lot of parking an no lines ever
wonder why?
Crappy service
No one knows anything about electronics
It’s always a step behind Best Buy
The only good thing I can think of is the in store pick up
Thank god they went out of business

I came here to check out their closeout savings. People were holding up signs saying 30%-60% off everything storewide so I had to come see what they had. I looked in car audio… Bone picked clean. They had a couple of subwoofers, but they were no name knockoffs that weren’t worth the price even at 75% off. All radios gone. The lcd/​plasma TVs for the most part were the old model like close to the time when they first came out. They had a couple of blu rays left, but at $ 20 a pop with the discount for older movies it wasn’t that great. For the most part, all the non media items were display models.
Sales people are hard to find here except at the cash stands. I asked one of the workers where everything went and they said all the good stuff got sent to other stores. Boo on you Circuit City!

Best Buy is OVER RATED!!! Here is why I would rather shop at this Circuit City than Best Buy:
1. AMPLE parking.
2. NO lines what so ever!
3. Prompt customer service
4. Has everything that Best Buy has
5. Is slightly CHEAPER than best buy.
6. In and out with the QUICKNESS!!!

I went in to pick up an item I ordered on line. I wasn’t sure where to go so I looked for a sales person to help me. The first 3 sales personal I talked with told me that item was in another department and I had to find someone in that department to help me. At last a sales person said to go to the pick up counter and give them my paper work. I did just that and the clerk at the counter told me to go back to the TV department and get the item and bring it back to her. Back to the TV department then back to the line at the counter. After waiting in line for a few minutes it was my turn when a guy came up and went in front of me. I asked her why she was waiting on him before me and she said he was here before. I told her I was here before him because I saw him come in. She was rude and told me to just wait. I left. I went to Wall mart and found the same brand item for $ 19.99. CC was $ 24.99. I went home and canceled the CC item. I guess they made a mistake firing all their sales people and then hiring a bunch low paid rude kids. I see now CC is on it’s way out. I wonder why.

Thanks for being there!
My last minute Christmas shopping and the crowds w/​the long lines everywhere in Best Buy at Hacienda Crossings I was about to go mental! Then I rememebed this one time that I went to Chuck E Cheese for a germ filled brithday party I saw a lonely Circuit City and hauled ass outta BB and over there.
NO LINES! FRIENDLY SALES ASSOCIATES! EASY PARKING!
YAY ME!
I walked in — was greeted right away and asked what I was looking for I told him iPods — and TA DA he walked me over and said he will let me look and didn’t pressure me! AWESOME!
I was in and outta there less than 15 min! Barely got any holiday music stuck in my head while being in the store!
So much easier and the prices are totally compareable to anywhere else and if I recall I think I saw a sign there that said they do price match! So sweet!

so the very next day after christmas i had my christmas money burning a hole in my pocket and i headed out to get myself the new ipod touch.
i went to dublin because i’m an idiot and i bank at citibank and the nearest atm was in dublin. after cashing my check i tried target which was a huge mistake as they were so darn crowded and of course sold out of the ipod.
next door was a citibank and i decided to try them out even though i was getting a little down because i figured every place was going to be very crowded and sold out. i pulled into the lot and got a spot right up front and to my surprise they were pretty slow so far. i found the department with the ipods and saw mine in the case. i browsed around a bit at the cases while i waited for someone with the darn key. i then heard someone ask if i needed help but unfortunately it was for someone in the camera section next to me. after a couple more minutes a cute younger girl came over to help me. i could tell it wasn’t her department as she called for the key but she saw i was waiting and jumped right on it. she finally tracked down the key and got my ipod touch out and told me to follow her up front. i quickly grabbed an ipod case i was eyeballing followed her up front. she rang me up at the main counter herself and told me that she would throw in the case for my patience. wow! so nice, this is a $ 40 case too. i thanked her for her kindness and she wished me a very happy holidays!
even with a little bit of a wait i was treated alot better than i ever have been at best buy and i didn’t even get pressured into any warranty or a sports illustrated subscription. the store is alot smaller but it’s so much easier to get in and out when i’m in a hurry.
as far as the ipod touch i really love it. i have had my share of ipods and i know they always have something new right after i get something but there is so much fun to be had with the ipod touch, having music is enough for me but having the web with free wi fi is he best.

They have much better customer service here than Best Buy. They actually are willing to help you (on a good day) and they’re much friendlier too. Reasonable prices too if you’re looking for something to satisfy your electronic needs. I’ve always had better luck here than Best Buy. The guy behind the counter even opened my CD for me so I wouldn’t have to do it while driving. Hehe.

This store is a mixed rating for me. I came here a few weeks ago looking for DVDs that were advertised on sale. After spending a while in the DVD aisles looking lost, no one bothered asking if I needed any help. And when I went to find someone who might be able to help me, there was no one to be found. I left emptyhanded.
However, I recently came here in hopes of purchasing a new digital camera. After a lame experience at BB, we figured CC was the next choice. We found the demo (which worked, thankfully) and as soon as we were seen in the department, a nice gentleman named Matt asked if we needed help. We didn’t need any right away– we played with the camera for a while. But Matt was right there when we needed his help and he was very knowledgable about the cameras. He didn’t rush or push anything on us. We ended up buying the camera we wanted and are happy with our purchase and friendly experience at CC.

Are you a circuit city guy or a best buy guy? I tend to prefer cc. They have in-​store pickup that I like and they revamped their awful return policy a few years ago. I don’t buy electronics in the store much, but I have had pretty good luck so far.
