Curbside

–1 Star for allegedly making an illegal and unsafe (but totally satisfying) U-​Turn. Curbside™ pickup is convenient for sure and by virtue of your having to let GPS run ALWAYS even when not using the App, it’s still convenient — for Curbside™ workers to know you’re inbound anyway.
== tl;dr ==
BEST BUY™ Curbside™: App-​based pickup instructions say to turn in on Market Row — a teeny-​tiny two-​lane blip of a side-​street close to the corner of Winchester Blvd. on Stevens Creek Blvd. Good luck with that during gridlock.
The Curbside™ App: Limited by locales and stores offered. Too bad. So sad. (For SoCal).
Designed to save you money and time by you spending more time and more money — technically still a win-​win if you buy stuff from «those» places.

During HEAVILY trafficked times, obedience to the App is not the best policy — especially when Everyone (AND their Mom) is trying to reach/​leave Santana Row via Winchester to Stevens Creek Blvd. Oh yeah, and angry drivers are fleeing the relative safety of that big parking garage for the relative unsafety and imprisonment on Winchester Blvd.
Due to not checking Waze™‘s ways and a smidgen of unfamiliarity and/​or downright denial about traffic patterns to/​from Santana Row at 4PM on a balmy Saturday [coincidentally being January 2^nd, 2016 (3−2−1, HAPPY NEW YEAR!)], I got to learn more about Patience and Perseverance and perhaps Anger but fortunately I was able to pick up Joy later.
There was no way I was going to wait 15 – 20 minutes to reach Stevens Creek Blvd. just to turn right onto that turd of a side-​street Market Row. I politely cut off someone and bypassed Stevens Creek thru Traffic Alt Route #3, Alyssum Ln.
Since Best Buy™ was now on my left, I turned left onto Market Row of which I immediately reached that point of no return. Alasably, I could have flagged the Curbside™ guy over but instead… ===(;*´ヮ‘)ﾉ
Oddly or perhaps appropriately, the guy cards me for my DMV ID *and* exact credit card used. Maybe I got used to Target™, CVS™, Target™, Target™, and Target™ only asking to verify MY NAME.
Having just left the crazy petting zoo of traffic and allegedly doing unsafe orchestral maneuvers in the light, I nearly lost it. [RANT] SERIOUSLY??? You’re DOUBLE carding me for a $ 15 piece of metallic turd on a tiny two-​laner turd of a street?! WTH?!? This ain’t my first Curbside™ Rodeo AND this ain’t no Palm Beach!!! [/​RANT]
Ummm…thanks again for doubly verifying my ID’s against Identity Theft — by would-​be friends or thieves over $ 15. (Perhaps I should drink less Philz Coffee™ while writing reviews or not drink-​and-​write…)
Anyway, I was too tired to facepalm him — with his face — but fortunately I still had the wherewithal to pull my ID and guessed-​at credit card out of my ass [pocket].
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This rant of a «review,» the attached pic (s) and tip on the Unilocal™ App are so others can reach Curbside™ in a more timely, albeit semi-​illegal manner without further ado during gridlock.
Pro Tip: Pimp out your out of the area friends to buy stuff for you via the Curbside™ App and save $ 10 off of $ 20 or $ 30 at Target™, CVS™, BEST BUY™, Sephora®, etc. et al ad nauseum.
Dating Tip: Wait. WHAT???

great service with excellent customer service. Really comes in handy some times.

Just used Curbside for Best Buy — amazing service and time saving! I previously avoided Best Buy because of the time to park and check out. The curbside person was there waiting for me before I even did the U-​turn into the lot. My order was ready in less than ten minutes. The curbside team noted a duplication error on my order, politely brought it to my attention, and fixed it for me even through it was my mistake. I was able to get a better product in significantly less time and zero frustration. I appreciated the extra security measure to ensure I was really me too given the cost of my order. Fantastic service and great people who bring it to life. Kudos to the people in those tents!

Absolutely amazing service and the best part about it ITS FREE!
I was skeptical at first when I saw the tent and thought it was people trying to sell me something, but actually its an amazing service! So I downloaded the app and now I get discounts and the items I wanted! Its nice if you have to run some errands and don’t have time to go into the store and look everywhere for what you want, so I found my items on the app, placed my order and it was ready in an hour!
I highly recommend this! plus they will email you discounts on the places you already shop! LOVE LOVE LOVE

I love this service! It makes my life so much easier. I no longer have to plan shopping into my day, I order it Curbside and just pick it up on my way home!

Curbside. Best app ever! Don’t have to wait in line, don’t have to look for parking. Just drive up and pick up.

Curbside is a complete timesaver! Purchased my items through the app and my order was ready in an hour. My pick-​up experience was smooth and hassel free. Have not stepped foot in a Target since!

Curbside is an app you can get on your phone or tablet. You can use it to shop at local retailers. Once you place your order, the magical curbside elves get to work gathering all your goods. Once they’ve braved the wilds that are retail crowds, you’ll receive a text telling you to come swoop it up. Did I mention it’s free?

Curbside has been my knight in shining armor. Order ahead and pickup on my schedule — usually in about an hour! AND I don’t have to deal with parking, waking the kids, standing in line or not finding what I need.
BONUS for not having to deal with parking AT ALL at Santana Row! I love it, and my kids love it so we can go to the park instead of wasting time at the store :)
