HELP. Best Buy overcharged me $70.00 and will NOT refund me. Store in San Marcos stated not their problem, it's a corporate issue. Talked to everyone in corporate and no one can help. What should I do.

I purchased a 65” Samsung TV and in less than a week a green vertical line appeared on the screen! They agreed to replace the TV but they want me to pay $200 for installation! The first two people I spoke to said they would install the replacement TV but the 3rd person I called to schedule appointment refused to install replacement and said I would have to pay $200.

I attempted to order a high demand CPU that became available at a store that was about an hour away. I went through all of their stuff about waiting in line and them checking availability before they allowed me to purchase it which I did. Later I got an email that my order was on hold as the authorization was rejected. It said that the CPU would be held 23 hours while I straighten things out. I called PayPal and they said that the payment was authorized but was awaiting Best Buy to "capture" it. I chatted and called bestbuy... All they would say is the authorization was rejected.
I then asked if the item is now or ever was in stock... They said that they are currently out of stock so they were just going to hold the order until more come in. I had to make them cancel it. I don't get why they showed it in stock all throughout the buying process and then why they lied about the payment method and then why they said I had 23 hours to buy something that was never in stock to begin with. Been a long time customer... I won't be any longer. Had they just said out of stock, I would have been ok with that.

Within 2 months the TV blew the house breaker and went blank. Multiple calls to Best, having bought the extended warranty thought there shouldn’t be a problem. Best Buy said their warranty is 15 days for returns and I have to contact Samsung. Multiple calls later a service representative stated nobody would be sent to the house for the warranty unless I provided the serial number which is on the back of the TV which was mounted on the wall by 2 people. No serial number on the receipt. I said if I dropped the heavy TV they would blame me for the damage. So Best Buy takes your money and claims no responsibility after 15 days and Samsung wouldn’t help. A call to Amex and they credited my account.

I ordered an Apple Watch and the package was delivered to the wrong address and signed off by a person at that address. There was no photograph of the delivered package. Nor could Best Buy assist me in getting a refund because the package was “signed off” by someone. That someone was not me nor anyone I know because* the package was delivered to the wrong* address.
Best Buy said they performed an investigation and the “backend team” found that package was delivered to an* address and signed off by someone. Mind you it was the wrong address not* my home shipping address. Best Buy was not helpful and could not provide me with my refund and simply stated I needed to contact law enforcement. But, law enforcement will not look into a “silly” case like this because it is not a priority. So, Best Buy allowed my package to be stolen, declined my refund request, and now someone has the Apple Watch that I paid for.

Appointment was scheduled on December 13th for December 27th. The day of the appointment I get a text message saying that I need to schedule my appointment. I called customer service and my appointment was cancelled for no real reason at all. I would have been okay if the next available appointment was for the next day but to further exacerbate the already unpleasant situation the next available appointment was two and a half weeks later. I was really hoping to enjoy my purchase during my vacation. Since a multi billion dollar company can't seem to get logistics correct I will not be enjoying my purchase or making any other purchases from Best Buy in the future.

Best Buy said a protection plan I was unaware of until Citibank called said it was past due. 3 calls to Citibank, 3 calls to Best Buy and I got screwed out of 70 dollars to pay off. First call Citibank gave me a one time removal of late fee. Best Buy said they refund money but left a balance that got hit again with fee and Citibank wouldn’t waive a second time. Bull. I got stuck. What a racket. I never shop Best Buy again.

I recently purchased a refrigerator from Circuit City—I mean Best Buy—because it was listed as in stock. That’s a pretty simple phrase, right? In. Stock. I mean, even a company still running a relic of the 90's website should understand what that means. Fast forward to the missed delivery window. I call to figure out what’s going on, assuming, foolishly, that this was a scheduling hiccup. But no—turns out, my fridge is actually out of stock for the next four months. FOUR MONTHS. That’s not a restock delay; that’s a cryogenic sleep cycle.
At this point, I’m half-expecting Ashton Kutcher to pop out and tell me I’ve been Punk’d. But nope, this is just Circuit City—I mean Best Buy—operating at its finest. They had the audacity to sell me something they knew they didn’t have. Apparently, “inventory management” is just a suggestion over there, much like customer satisfaction or timely deliveries. And let’s talk about their customer service. Oh, the joy of being transferred between departments like a bad game of telephone. Each rep seemed as confused about the situation as Circuit City—I mean Best Buy—was about staying in business in the early 2000s. It’s like they’ve outsourced their support team to a black hole where accountability goes to die.
Look, I don’t need an apology. I need a refrigerator, preferably before I need to put my milk on life support. But here I am, fridge-less and furious, wondering if I should have just duct-taped an Igloo cooler to my wall and called it a day. To sum it up: If you’re looking for a company that excels in disappointment and disorganization, look no further than Circuit City—I mean Best Buy. Just make sure you don’t need your purchase anytime this decade. Zero stars for the fridge I’ll eventually get, and zero patience left for a company that operates like a glitch in the Matrix.

Hello, On November 29, I purchased a television from Best Buy for approximately $1400, including tax and delivery. Within two hours of the purchase, we canceled the order due to the television being intended as a gift. Best Buy informed us that the return would be processed within 48 hours and credited back to our credit card. However, as of December 14, we have not received the refund.
I contacted Best Buy regarding the refund and was informed that it had not been issued. They were unable to provide an estimate of when or if the credit would be credited. It is noteworthy that Best Buy never shipped the item. The offshore agents handling the case refused to escalate the matter to a supervisor, despite my extensive efforts to resolve the issue. We believe that Best Buy’s actions are unjustified. They are withholding our funds without providing any reasonable explanation. We urge you to rectify this situation promptly.

Worst experience with Best Buy, will never shop there again. I purchased a refurbished MacBook on July 11th, and by the end of October the motherboard had failed and the laptop would not turn on. I'm on a fixed income and this was a significant loss for me. When I contacted Best Buy about the issue, they basically told me "too bad" and refused to provide any assistance or remedy the situation. There's no way the motherboard could have failed that quickly with light usage, this was clearly a defective product that they sold me.
Best Buy's customer service is non-existent. They took my money, gave me a faulty laptop, and left me high and dry. I see many other reviews just like mine - it's clear they don't stand behind their products or care about their customers. I'm extremely disappointed and will make sure to warn everyone I know about the deceptive and unethical business practices at Best Buy. Do not shop there, they will gladly take your money and leave you with a broken product with no recourse. Absolute worst retail experience I've ever had.
