    Bought a Roku 75" plus series tv online. No stores anywhere near me had any in stock. Several days later, we had the big snow here on the East Coast. They canceled delivery. Understandable. Rescheduled a week later. They called a couple of days before delivery to cancel again. I was told they were backed up. Meanwhile, I was still getting furniture delivered via FedEx and UPS with no cancellations. They scheduled another week out... 3-week delivery now. Again, they call and cancel. Told me they were informed of a "road closure." This is 3 days prior to delivery. They can't tell me what road is closed, though! Schedule delivery in another week. 4 weeks out now! When I check online, I see it can buy the TV, from Best Buy, and it will be delivered to me on Wednesday rather than my scheduled Friday. Except now price has gone up 70 bucks. I canceled the order and bought from Amazon. Delivery in 5 days. Should be called Worst Buy.

    I ordered speakers online on a Thursday. They said they would arrive on Tuesday. I had a relative come and sit at my house all day waiting for the delivery which didn't come. Wednesday it said delayed on the website. Thursday I called Maersk and gave them the tracking number. They said they had not received anything from Best Buy to check with them. When I eventually got past the virtual assistant I was told they were out of stock at Best Buy and would be shipped directly from the vendor. I told that since they weigh 190 lbs. I need to have someone at my house for delivery. They said they had no further information or an updated tracking number. This is Friday and I still have no additional information. I would just like to be kept informed. I won't buy a large purchase from Best Buy again.

    I gave them one star because I couldn't find anything lower. I gave these people every chance to redress their not showing up (or even calling me to reschedule) their 27 FEB appointment. I've called countless times, and at time of writing, have yet to hear from Best Buy. That's been just a little over two WEEKS. Safe to say I won't patronize their Geek Squad Total services anymore. They lost a 10-year customer that I'm sure someone else will be happy to have.

    Bought an inexpensive HP laptop on sale Black Friday weekend. Normally $640, got it 50% off, $320 + tax. Good deal. Took my new laptop home, set it up on my dining room table. Never moved off of it. February 27th, less than 90 days later, I use my computer that afternoon getting ready for a meeting that evening. Came home after meeting, opened my laptop, and the screen is broken. I drive back the 65 miles to my nearest Best Buy in Memphis, to get it repaired under what I assumed would be "Manufacturers Warranty". The Geek Squad rep said the shipping was covered to get the repair done but $100 to backup my data. Paid that. 4 days later I receive an email from Geek Squad saying it would cost $330 to pay for the new screen. "Physical damage". I replied to the email with why should I pay for a screen that is obviously a Manufacturers defect. I'm pretty sure you're supposed to be able to open and close a laptop without busting the screen.

    Get a phone call from Geek Squad the next morning. After getting nowhere with that rep on it's not my fault, I declined the repair. Went to pick my still busted laptop up from BB today. They cannot return my $100 dollars for backing up my computer that did not get repaired and since I refused to pay to have it fixed, I was charged $86 for the return shipping. So, I paid BB $186 to return my still busted computer. Liars and Thieves. Professional Liars and Thieves. Will never buy another thing from BB.

    I purchased and paid for a warranty from Best Buy Sawgrass that covered several products. A few months later, when I tried to add another item under the warranty, I was told that I did not have a warranty at all. After spending months going back and forth trying to resolve the issue, I eventually discovered that the warranty had somehow been transferred out of my account. Since no one was able to correct the problem, I cancelled the warranty and requested a full refund because I had paid for something I never received. Despite this, my Best Buy credit card was later charged for the renewal of someone else’s warranty.

    When I called to explain that the warranty had been cancelled the previous year and that I was still waiting for my refund, Best Buy and Geek Squad informed me that I could not cancel the warranty because I was “not authorized” — since it apparently belonged to someone else. Charging another person’s warranty to my account is fraudulent!

    After considerable effort, they finally issued a refund. Unfortunately, another mistake occurred when they applied the credit for the refund toward the warranty renewal charge instead of refunding my original purchase. They then attempted to collect that money again, even though the original issue had never been resolved. As a result of these repeated errors by Best Buy, the Geek Squad and CitiBank, my credit rating was negatively affected. In the end, I was forced to pay Best Buy in an attempt to repair the damage to my credit for their mistakes. Based on this experience, I strongly caution others before doing business with Best Buy or Geek Squad.

    I purchased a computer because mine was broken. Simple. Can't just buy it, has to be shipped - will be there tomorrow - 3 days later still waiting. Can't stop the shipment so I can pick it up down the street. Fedex says the label is damaged so it gets turned back but out again the next day - can't cancel the order, can't stop the shipment, can't get the shipment - how long will I have to wait for my next day shipment. Can't even set me up to pick one up in a store tomorrow. Fedex says there is nothing about the label noted on the account - even though it's on the site - lost all trust in the process. refund - I will buy something else somewhere else.

    My wife purchased a 76" TV and wall mount. The salesperson selected the wall mount to fit her TV and paid a lot of $ for installation. I would have done this but due to a health disability I am not physically able any longer. The installers were nice and efficient she said (I was at work) but one problem, the mount covers 90% of the ports on the back of the TV, there is only one of the four HDMI port accessible and the ethernet port is covered.

    She went to the store to complain and they told her that she would need to purchase a different mount that is almost 3x the $ of the one that the salesperson sold her AND pay again for installation. They do have a workable mount available for less that the original but it is not a Best Buy brand so won't use it as a replacement. Talk about sleazy and underhanded. And they wonder why people prefer other businesses. I will not buy anything from Best Buy again, they obviously have forgotten what customer service, honor and integrity are.

    I would like to know why our government have not shut this company down die fraud? Selling refurbished products, hurting credit scores when they don’t pay 3000 when a refurbished product is 600 and they expect after two years of waiting for a product to have you pay full price no way. They have single handedly stopped credit for many Americans and stopped the economy.

No joined kits installed and it took two years to receive dented products. Image of dented frig and joiner kit part of it they never installed our refrigerators. Look up joiner kit, this isn’t even what goes to this and would have screws and fasteners installation was paid for.

    Planning a purchase from Best Buy. My advice. Just don't do it. I tried to get a laptop, and they sent it first to the wrong store. Then it was canceled. Tried to get a heater, and it took over 30 People to not listen and sent it to the wrong store, wrong delivery, several times. Finally got one to sent it FEDEX and got the heater, which had a thermostat problem, and needed a replacement. And they repeated the same procedure with the replacement. When the replacement was returned for the second time because they didn't do it right, they say they refunded it, yet it hasn't been refunded yet.

    So I'm left with no laptop and a faulty heater, and the supervisor said that is all they will be doing. It's not all I will be doing. I am finished with Best Buy. Canceling my total tech and my credit card. So Listen to the reviews. They are not a good customer service company. If you want to be treated badly stay and buy from them. Good luck getting what you ordered. In the end they will blame you for their mistakes.

    NEVER AGAIN... Helping out elderly and non-computer literate neighbors, whose refrigerator was dying, selected and ordered online a new refrigerator from BEST BUY. Mainly because of the product we purchased and a delivery PROMISED/CONTRACTED in 2 days, a Thursday. Delivery morning an email states driver out sick, call or email a specific person to reschedule. I called 5 times and left voice mails. I emailed 7 times... Hoping to reschedule delivery for Friday. Crickets! NOTHING! By Thursday night, livid, I called customer service and went through four levels, several different foreign languages, and then someone who finally dug deep enough to find that our product was still at the manufacturer, wouldn't be shipped until next week and could schedule a Friday delivery (8 days after the original). Unacceptable!

    Next morning I went on another online refrigerator search, found one at Lowe's, went to a Lowe's, looked at it, touched it, bought it and it was delivered and installed by 9 am the next morning. Thank you, Lowe's. Best Buy? I hate being lied to, hate chat bots, customer service rep's who don't answer or respond, or can't understand and can't help. Best Buy? NEVER AGAIN!

    Best Buy has a false return policy on their website. To the point, when I went to the store, the manager stated, he did not care, what the web site said, before I could even mention it. It is not clearly marked, on their site and no to select no third party sellers, as more reputable retailers do. I ordered 3 boxes of Green Mountain French Roast 96 count. They sent 3 boxes of 24, Best Buy knew this before it shipped and never informed the customers. At this point all hassles could have been avoided. Instead Best Buy went ahead and had the product shipped knowing it was wrong. They then refused to return the item, in store as listed on their website in store. I was ripped off of 66% of what I paid, for by Best Buy. Do not buy from them. They are no longer reputable or trustworthy.

    Rating is a zero star. Purchased a turntable for $300 on 12/26/25. Sales person sold me a 4 year warranty for $50. Item stopped working by Feb 7, only playing 2-3 records once a week. Took the item back to store, told them it stopped working. They said I could exchange and someone would help me find the other product. No one helped, but I did find the exact same item and returned to the counter to wait in line again. The guy gave me the receipt. I asked if this exact same exchange item has the same 4 year warranty that I purchased. No. I have to pay another $50. + Taxes. For a straight across exchange. Apparently defective electronics may only be returned within 14 days.

    Outside of that, you gotta pay extra. No offer for a repair. No apologies. Just give them money for no reason at all. I do see this in their fine print now. But, this is absolutely horrible abuse of people's money and trust. They were not helpful, did not explain in the first place either. Will only go back to this business if the replaced item also does not work. Otherwise, will never do business with them again.

    On 1/4/26 I placed an order for a MacBook Pro, and was notified it would be shipped via FedEx and arrive 1/8. I waited all day by the door, FedEx never came to my house. At 6:06 PM I received a confirmation email that it had been delivered at 5:56 PM. I immediately check outside my door and my multiple home cameras - timestamped for that exact time - No FedEx and no package. The "Proof of Delivery" 'says it was signed for by "**" - not my name or anyone in my home. They failed to capture a signature - as was required for such an expensive item. I knew immediately it must have been delivered to the wrong address.

    During countless hours on the phone with Best Buy, I was repeatedly lied to - some saying that there was nothing they could do, and others promising a refund that never came to fruition. I finally reached the "Executive Resolution Team", only for the case to be closed within 24 hours and told that Best Buy would NOT initiate a claim and thus not refund nor replace the item. When asked for a reason they answered "We don't have to provide you with one." Undeterred, after 3 weeks of following up with FedEx - FedEx trace agents were able to confirm it was delivered to the wrong address. They tried to retrieve it but were unable to. That was on 1/21/26. This is concrete proof that I did not receive the item that I purchased. Under consumer protection law, it is the responsibility of the SELLER to refund or replace my item.

    Additionally, FedEx confirmed to me that Best Buy never reached out to them to confirm anything regarding my shipment, they simply don't want to refund me. Please don't waste your time with this company I have never encountered such blatant disrespect, dishonesty and impolite behavior from customer service. Just use Amazon instead, they ship faster and safer.

    At first, I had good experiences with Best Buy's warranties. They replaced both a TV and a dryer without any issues.

    The first time they replaced the dryer was two years after I bought it. It was an LG heat-pump dryer that cost $799, but since it was last year's model, I paid $100 to upgrade. Now, the replacement dryer I received isn’t drying either. A new replacement would cost $1,400.

    After two visits from the helpful repair technician, the unit still doesn’t dry. You would think that would be enough for a replacement, but Best Buy wants to send someone out again. This time, they say if it’s broken, they will only give a depreciated refund.

    I won’t be buying from BB again for a long time, and I won’t recommend it to anyone I know. I had to follow up between the tech’s visits and take off from work to meet the repair guy, costing me time and money.

    As soon as this mess is over, I'm getting a replacement from Home Depot.

    I am a Best Buy Plus member and have bought fridges, computers, gaming consoles etc., but will not be buying a thing from them again. As someone who would give Walmart and Amazon 5 stars for customer service and maybe GameStop 3 stars, I have to give 1 star for Best Buy for communication inconsistency and not even abiding by their own policy. First issue was with the Best Buy Credit Card I signed up for. They screwed up entering some of my information (honest mistake, it's okay) and so I had to use my regular card after already applying for the card. They tell me at the store to come back once I get the card and move the transaction and I'll still get the 10%.

    My card comes in the mail 13 days later. Nobody mentions to me that I need to move the transaction within 14 days and I activated the card on the 14th day, then moved the transaction over about a week later to my Best Buy Card. The store tells me to just call the card when I notice only 5% rewards during the transaction. I called and inquired about why I didn't get 10%, get put on hold for 15 mins, and then they hang up. After calling back and being on hold for another 30 mins, they told me they can't honor the 10% since it's beyond the 14 days... I would have never signed up for the card.

    Then I had another issue with price match. I contacted customer service online for an item I had bought that was on sale. It was only on sale for 3 more hours and was on a Friday night. The customer chat tells me to call back the following morning since the team that deals with price match is closed. I call the next day, they call me, they can't price match since it's no longer on sale.

    They have full proof on their end of their item's price history but won't price match it even though I followed their policy that says to contact them online as soon as you see something go on sale that you recently bought, but told me to go to the store, show them the text and messages I have and they'll price match. So I go to the store, and they tell me that they can't price match since it's not currently on sale and I explained I followed their own policy on price matching and did contact them online as soon as I saw the discounted price. I was told by the store rep that they couldn't do it despite all my proof. Best Buy doesn't even know their own policies and they make it next to impossible to make things right. Very disappointed they fail to even follow their own policy on price match.

    *Note - Unable to submit this review without a rating. But, if I could submit without a rating, I would give our experience no stars. On January 1, we purchased TWO items, including a significantly higher priced item for a birthday gift (in the next few days) to be delivered January 3. On January 3, Roadie (Best Buy’s delivery service) notified us that they were on the way with items. I waited for a bit but had to leave. An hour later (as I was turning down our street), I received a text saying the items were delivered. When I pulled up, only ONE item (the lower-ticket item) was on our porch—the more expensive gift was missing.

    I immediately called Best Buy and reached a national line. The representative, Colleen, submitted a claim and GUARANTEED that the missing item would be reshipped and arrive on January 4, given the missed delivery (and its importance). At the same time, I texted Roadie to confirm if they had everything from the store and asked for the store location of pickup. I called the store directly, only to be rerouted to the national line again—frustrating. According to THIS representative, customers are unable to call the stores directly.

    On January 4, around 1 PM, there was still no Roadie communication OR redelivery. I called Best Buy again to inquire about the guarantee and tracking information. When I requested to speak to a supervisor, I was told it would take 2-4 hours to connect with someone. I agreed, but unsurprisingly, no supervisor returned our call.

    This has been the worst customer service experience I’ve ever encountered. The national line failed to provide any accurate solution for their mistake. Be cautious with large item deliveries from Best Buy; you might not receive your purchase, and the support you rely on may not deliver on their promises. @Best Buy - do better.

    What can I say. Horrible customer service, no resolution and lies. They take your money before the seller on their market place even ship your order. Then they state, you have to deal with JRS Global that I ordered from. I said cancel my order because it can't arrive until February and can't arrive for Christmas that I ordered it for. They said ONLY JRS can refund you and JRS said, "No you have to return the free extras we sent you to a Best Buy store and then Best Buy will refund you." I'm not driving 40 miles and not be compensated for it. Send me a label and a driver to pick it up. Still noone will give me a refund had to get my bank involved to get my money back. Never ordering from either one Best Buy or JRS Global Inc.

    Bought an open-box TV advertised as “Good” condition and it arrived broken and unusable. Order ** (Dec 18, 2025) - LG 77" M3 - showed up missing power cables and the TV would not turn on at all. What made this a complete nightmare: the store managers refused to let me check it in the store before leaving. So I had to go through the entire cycle of pickup - discover it’s dead - arrange a return. I wasted hours on this and also spent extra money on a U-Haul just to transport a large TV that never worked in the first place.

    This also wasn’t my first time getting burned by Best Buy open-box. Previously, I bought an open-box TV advertised as “Excellent” condition and it had a cracked screen. In-store purchase ** (Aug 2, 2025) - Hisense 75" U8. At this point, open-box at Best Buy feels like rolling the dice on whether you’re buying a functioning TV or just paying to transport broken inventory. Overall experience: more like “Worst Buy” - wasted time, wasted money, and constant frustration.

    About 17 years ago I bought and picked up myself a top 55” Sony TV - no problems and still working fine in my bedroom. Nine years ago I fell and became paralyzed so ordered a OLEG LG TV from Best Buy and had them deliver and install. It took 3 deliveries and installs because the TVs were faulty and install people didn’t check them out before leaving. This latest LG has some burn in and color problems so I ordered on Nov. 29 a new top of the line 65” Sony. It was to be delivered and installed on Dec. 9th. No one showed or called that it was delayed or not coming. I’ve spent at least 4-5 hours on the phone talking to at least 8 different BB customer service people over the past weeks without any answer to my order which was paid for on order date. I had promises from agents that I would get calls back - nothing. Today I called and it took at least 20 minutes to just cancel my order. I’ll never buy another thing from Worst Buy.

    I ordered a iPad online on Dec. 17th. Money was withdrawn from my account but next morning received text my order was cancelled. Spoke to customer service via text and for some reason it was flagged as “suspicious” but couldn’t give any better explanation. After being told refund takes 3-4 days on their end (then however long it takes for my bank to process it). They told me I can go into the store it would be noted down in my account about the issues and I can repurchase shouldn’t be any issues so that’s what I did Dec. 20. Get to the store explain the whole situation (still waiting for the refund at this time btw) iPad wasn’t in stock so put it to be delivered, a day after Christmas, paid and I didn’t even make it to the front door before getting a text saying order was canceled. Talk to a manager (who was very sweet after me losing my shit and yes I apologized a million times because I know it’s not his fault).

    He tried on his end but got nowhere with his own customer service so now I’m out another $300 which makes it a total of around $650 I’m waiting to be refunded. That was literally all of my Christmas money!! I have nothing left to do any type of shopping for my kids unless I want to dip into bill money or wait for the refunds to come through but with the holidays coming who knows when that will be since I'm still waiting for the first refund. I got zero answers why it was cancelled in the fist place, zero answers of when it will be refunded, zero help from me calling customer support and now I’m left with zero Christmas presents for my children. Absolutely will not be shopping here again.

    Instead of delivering my order same day as agreed on and paid for, Best Buy delivered someone else's order to me, and then expected me to return it at my own cost. When informed of this they made no genuine efforts to make it right in any significant way despite being 100% in the wrong from start to finish. They expected me to wait a week to allegedly receive my actual order while prioritizing me fixing their mistake. Customer service is a nightmare to deal with, and corporate does not value customer retention or true company accountability at all. It took days of reaching out, multiple chats, and multiple emails to even get them to agree to cover the cost, and arrange a pick up, to return the items for a refund. You could not pay me to purchase anything from Best Buy in the future.

    It is worth spending slightly more on a product elsewhere to receive good customer service when it is needed. I normally stick with purchasing electronics from Amazon or directly from manufacturer and I should have continued with that. I only chose Best Buy this time because they offered same day service. It was a mistake. No wonder their sales are down overall.

    If I could give 0 stars I would. So I started grad school Thursday and needed printer ink by Wednesday. I go to BestBuy.com and to my surprise they had printer ink on sale. I ordered the size needed for my printer, but the fulfillment center sent the wrong size. Everyone makes mistakes so I’m not upset at this point. So I log into my BestBuy account to see the return options. It asked if the product was opened and I clicked yes (because I didn’t even realize it was the wrong size until I put it in my printer and it didn’t work). After clicked yes it asked what was wrong with the item and I clicked “sent wrong item”. It then gave me the option to return at the store. I go to the store and they refused to do the return because I WAS SENT THE WRONG SIZE INK FROM THEM! I mean, why does it even tell you to take it to the store just so that you’ll look like a fool.

    They tell me that my only option is to return using the shipping label provided in my account. Mind you, I need ink like YESTERDAY and I have no freaking way to print a shipping label because some genius decided to sent me ink to someone else’s printer. I called to see if there was anything else they could do so that I could get my product today and the rep (Carolyn) wouldn’t even let me speak with a supervisor. I’m so irritated right now!

    ****One of the worst customer service experiences I’ve ever had — future customers, please read before you buy here.***** I normally don’t write reviews, but what happened to me at this Best Buy location needs to be shared so other customers don’t go through the same stress, loss, and frustration that I did. I visited this store on November 26 and spent nearly 3 hours researching before purchasing a camera (~$2,500). I also applied for a Best Buy credit card as a new customer — everything was created and processed by the store staff. The next day, I discovered that my entire Best Buy account was completely broken. None of my orders or credit card information showed up. Customer care later informed me that the store accidentally created TWO separate accounts, which locked me out of everything and prevented me from making any purchases online — including the Black Friday deals I was waiting for.

    I spent the next two days: Calling customer care with no real help. Going back to the store. Waiting nearly 3 hours in a crowded environment only to be told the system would take up to 15 days to fix. Because of their mistake, I lost all Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals — the biggest sale events of the year. What made it worse was the attitude. The store manager even suggested this was “my problem,” even though I did not create any account — the employees did everything in-store. After wasting my time again with no solution, I ended up returning the entire $2,500 purchase out of total frustration. This experience destroyed my trust in Best Buy as a company.

    ⚠️ Warning to Future Customers: If your account gets messed up — even if it’s Best Buy’s fault — you will be the one who suffers. You may lose your deals, waste your time, get no support, and receive no responsibility or ownership from the store. Be extremely careful before making any major purchase here, especially anything tied to an account or financing. My experience shows that if something goes wrong, you will not get help, and you may end up losing valuable deals and time like I did. Extremely disappointing experience. I hope no other customer goes through this.

    I purchased a TV, a bracket, delivery and installation from the Best Buy in Nassau Sq, Princeton. Delivery and installation were set up for two days later and I received an email saying it would be here in the morning. Needless to say they never showed. I called my salesman three times and customer service twice - no return call. The following day I spoke to three customer service people from two different departments and although they were very nice, ultimately they were no help. This was after 56 minutes with the first person, 32 minutes with the second and twenty minutes with the third. I told the third person I wanted to cancel my order but they said they couldn’t do it.

    The next morning I drove back to the store and it took, altogether, another hour to cancel. That manager had a logical explanation for all the problems but the fundamental reason was that their overall system is flawed and they were all aware of it. The drivers supposedly had picked up the TV from another store and never recorded that they hadn’t delivered it. It’s my opinion that a reasonable company would have a system in place that would have taken 1-2 phone calls over a five minute period to get an explanation. Again, no one was nasty or unprofessional but the bottom line is that the store and their customer service all come off as incompetent and I didn’t want this incompetent group handling my installation or warranty commitments.

    TL;DR: Ordered a dishwasher with delivery and installation. Best Buy no-showed twice, never called, never texted, and repeatedly failed to follow through on escalations or promised callbacks. After two missed full-day windows, zero communication, and a broken scheduling system, the next available appointment was two months later. I canceled the order after receiving no product and no service. Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (0.5 out of 5)

    I rarely leave reviews, but my recent experience with Best Buy’s appliance delivery and installation service deserves to be shared so future customers know what to expect. To be fair, this store was not involved but I have no place to leave this review and I would caution people from interacting with their appliance delivery and installation even though the sales experience may be totally fine. On November 24, 2025, I ordered a Frigidaire dishwasher with delivery, installation, and haul-away.

    At checkout, I scheduled the earliest available appointment, December 2, which came with a very broad 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. window. On the evening before the appointment — December 1 at 5:30 p.m. — the window was narrowed to 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. That was a welcome change at the time. Unfortunately, that was the last part of the process that went smoothly. December 2 — No Show, No Call, No Explanation The 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. window came and went with no call, no text, and no arrival. Only after the window expired did I receive an automated text stating that my delivery had been rescheduled for Saturday, December 6. I called customer support to understand what happened. While I wasn’t transferred around, it took a long time to navigate the automated system and reach a human representative.

    Once connected, I was placed on additional holds while they investigated why no one had shown up. I was eventually told it was “due to weather,” which I can accept given that I live in the Northeast — but no one could explain why there was zero communication from the delivery team. December 6 — Second Appointment, Second No-Show For the rescheduled appointment, my window was 6 a.m. – 6 p.m. We rearranged our day again, completed Best Buy’s lengthy pre-installation checklist, and made sure everything was accessible. Once again: No call. No text. No technician. No automated update. No response from the delivery company. At around 3 p.m., I called customer support again. They assured me the installers were still coming and provided the name and phone number of the third-party delivery company — but calling them resulted in no answer.

    By 6 p.m., the window closed with another complete no-show. At that point, Best Buy’s customer service line had already closed for the day, and they are not open on Sundays, so I had no way to reach anyone. December 8 — Attempted Escalation On Monday, December 8, I called again. The representative I spoke with — like most of the people I interacted with — was kind, patient, and understanding. She offered to escalate the issue and promised a personal callback within 24–48 hours. Two days passed with no callback, no update, and no change in the system.

    My online appointment page now showed two separate entries — one stuck on the old date and one marked “needs rescheduling.” December 10 — Final Attempt When I called back on December 10, I was offered another escalation and another promise of a callback in 24–48 hours. However, the next available appointment they could offer me was January 29 — more than two months after my original order. At that point, I chose to cancel the entire order, and I will be purchasing from another retailer.

    Final Thoughts The representatives themselves were polite and clearly tried to help, but the system behind them is completely broken: Deliveries and installers do not communicate with customers. Best Buy customer service cannot meaningfully coordinate with the installers. The automated rescheduling system operates blindly and does not account for repeated no-shows. The online scheduling interface malfunctioned and generated conflicting appointments. Promised escalations and callbacks simply never happened. In the end, I received no installation, no delivery, no communication, and no dishwasher — only repeated no-shows and hours of wasted time. I cannot recommend Best Buy for appliance delivery or installation. Even though the individual representatives were kind, the overall service is unreliable to the point of being unusable.

    I ordered a PS5 for my daughter for Christmas.

What a joke and a horrible mistake. I got an update that the item was out for delivery by a third-party. It never delivered. When I tried to chat with someone, they actually make you enter a credit card and buy a subscription through a third-party to have a live chat! Then I called the number that no one ever picked up on after waiting for 45 minutes.

    Then through Best Buy customer service on another click through on their website and working through an AI agent before I got to a live agent, the live agent finally discovered after 15 minutes that the order was lost. They’re saying it’s lost and yet there’s a picture of the Driver It was given to on the website with his name! They refunded the money which I will wait to see if I receive the refund, but I’ve already put a stop pay on my credit card. I will literally never do business with this company again.

    Review Title: Customers Deserve Better — TotalTech Is Not Worth It. I’ve been a loyal Best Buy customer for over 20 years, spending thousands of dollars annually and even worked there briefly after returning home from Afghanistan. I’ve also paid for the TotalTech membership for years, assuming it would actually help when something went wrong.

    Unfortunately, when my Samsung refrigerator failed, Best Buy and Samsung both pushed repairs out more than a week — while I had no working fridge and no food at home. I hired a licensed technician myself for $89 because TotalTech would have charged far more and still couldn’t get to me in time. I asked Best Buy for reimbursement of the $89 service fee and a small amount toward the food spoilage. They denied everything.

    This experience showed me that TotalTech doesn’t offer the support customers are led to believe it does. Worse, after years of loyalty, Best Buy couldn’t offer even the smallest gesture of goodwill. Other retailers — including Home Depot — offer 5-year Allstate protection plans for around $225 that actually cover everything, are honored without a fight, and consistently support veterans. My experience showed Best Buy does not. I’ve canceled my TotalTech membership and will not be returning. I’m sharing this so other customers can make informed decisions before spending their money.

No customer should ever feel unsafe or disrespected in their own home—especially by a company they trusted to provide a professional service.

    Negative Experience at Best Buy El Cajon. My husband recently had one of the most disappointing customer service experiences at the Best Buy in El Cajon on Saturday, November 8th. We’ve been loyal Best Buy customers for years, but this visit was by far the most unprofessional and disrespectful encounter we’ve ever experienced. He went in to pick up two online orders and realized he had forgotten his driver’s license. To verify his identity, he presented three active government-issued military base access IDs, all with his name and photo. Instead of showing basic courtesy or understanding, the customer service representative refused to assist him and insisted that only a driver’s license would be accepted.

    When he asked for a manager, a young man named “Flower” came over. From the start, his attitude was dismissive and unwilling. He reluctantly verified the IDs but made it clear through his demeanor and tone that he didn’t want to help. The representative then brought out the large TV and simply set it in front of my husband without saying a word. When he politely asked for help getting it to the door, she silently called the manager. The manager returned and made sarcastic comments about bringing a driver’s license, completely ignoring the fact that my husband provided multiple valid forms of government-issued identification. He then dropped the TV near the cashier and walked away without a single word. My husband left the store feeling embarrassed, unwelcome, and deeply disappointed. Policies are important, but respect and professionalism are basic expectations — and they were entirely missing in this experience.

    To make matters worse, even after he sent a full complaint email and submitted a customer review through Best Buy’s official channels, the El Cajon store never contacted him. No acknowledgment, no apology, and no attempt to make things right. Ignoring a long-time loyal customer after such an unpleasant encounter only adds to the frustration and reflects poorly on the store’s commitment to customer care. We hope management takes this situation seriously and addresses the behavior we experienced, so no other customer has to go through something similar.

I don't expect I'll ever get my money back because it will take weeks to show up and I've already paid the charges on the Best Buy Credit card so I'll likely get stuck for the funds. I called another store and they brought me a dryer the next day. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE.

    If I could give them a zero star I would. I purchase two U7900 55 inches TVs from Best Buy 20 days ago and one of them stop working. Contacted Best Buy but was told to contact the manufacturer, which I did, contact them to ask them for a replacement since it’s a factory defect and I didn’t think a 20 days old needed to be repaired and I didn’t feel comfortable proceeding and requested a replacement. They refused. I purchased over 40 Samsung tvs in the past 3 years. I will never do it again. Unhelpful customer service, they wanted to send a technician and wasted my time to fix a factory defect product.

    Best Buy delivered two major appliances to us and was supposed to haul them away. There was an obstruction, which took us 20 minutes to remove, but by that time the movers had already left. I am a 5 foot three woman and was working to move one of the appliances around the obstruction and was told by the dispatcher that there service people (contractors whom they don’t ensure), couldn’t lift things over their waist or maneuver around obstructions, even if we signed a waiver.

    Fine, you can’t move things because of an obstruction, but once we move it and tell you, it’s safe to come back, you need to give your customers away to reschedule and finish the job we paid for in a reasonable time. I was told that because the order was still in route, they couldn’t even talk to us about rescheduling the removal of our our old appliances for 2 to 3 days. They Stonewalled us, and, even though they refunded the installation and haul away money, we still ended up having to contact a junk removal place to get rid of the appliances.

    We hired this service because it was supposed to make our lives easier. If they had texted or emailed us ahead of time to say get rid of this cabinet or that countertop, we would’ve done so ahead of time. That information is buried in one of their many videos About the specific product and at the very least, they should say they can reschedule things within a reasonable period of time. At this point, it might be weeks before they could come back.

    People should think very carefully before buying large appliances from Best Buy. We should have gone to the local dealer With local delivery people. Best Buy hires contractors who may or may not be here legally, so they know they can take advantage of them. Serves us right for not buying local. We will never buy from Best Buy again.

    I wanted to share what I’ve been through with Best Buy and Geek Squad because this whole experience has been a total headache. I have been a loyal Best Buy customer for years, but after this, I don’t think I’ll ever buy from them again. Back in September, I ordered an LG G5 65-inch OLED TV. My first delivery was scheduled for October 3rd but it never showed up. No text, no call, nothing. When I contacted Geek Squad and Best Buy support, I got two completely different answers. One rep told me the delivery was canceled as “high risk” without anyone notifying me, and another told me it was still “out for delivery.” I had taken the day off work and prepared for the delivery that never happened.

    After multiple calls and being told “no supervisor is available,” the delivery was finally rescheduled for October 10th. When the TV showed up, it was tilted on its side in the back of a dirty pickup truck. The same company that refused to let me take it tilted in my own SUV because it “could damage the screen” literally delivered it that way themselves. Sure enough, the back panel was warped and loose. The executive resolution rep, Daniel, even admitted that televisions should never be transported flat or tilted, but he still refused to offer anything beyond a basic exchange or refund.

    This isn’t my first issue with them. Earlier this year, Geek Squad tried to deny my protection plan coverage on another product, claiming it didn’t qualify under my GSP contract. It took weeks of fighting, showing proof, and escalating before they finally honored it. After all that, all they gave me was a $50 gift card as a “gesture.” Now with this TV situation, it’s been the same kind of runaround all over again. I have clear photo and video proof showing how the TV was delivered on its side, but Best Buy still refuses to take any real responsibility for it. All they’ve offered is an exchange or refund, even though the damage was caused by their delivery team ignoring their own policy.

    In the end, I agreed to pay the difference and exchange for the larger 77-inch version just to finally move forward, but I shouldn’t have had to go through weeks of stress, conflicting answers, and ignored escalation requests to get a working TV. If you shop at Best Buy, document everything. Keep receipts, take pictures of deliveries, and don’t trust verbal promises. Once you’re past the store level, getting help turns into a full-time job.

    Last week, I purchased an IMAC from Vest Buy. It arrived today. Out the box, it didn't work. I contacted Apple support and was advised to take the computer back to Best Buy. I drag the huge box to the car and returned it to Best Buy. One hour later and 10 minutes to close. I contacted Best Buy to ask them to remove my dongles that I left in the IMAC. They told me that they weren't in there and I must've left them at home.

    I was using the IMAC at home. I left from home and went straight to Best Buy. Not only did Best Buy sell me a $600 piece of 💩 that didn't work. They destroyed/stole my property and gaslighted me.

    My experience is so outrageous, I couldn't possibly write it all down. I bought a home theater system and Geek Squad installation for $1854 on September 20, 2025 in Dover, DE for delivery to Ventnor, NJ. The summary is they never showed or called on the scheduled installation date THREE separate times. I spent three weeks on the phone with customer service, going to the Mays Landing store, cancelling and reordering with the store manager, sitting and waiting for them to come.

    Hilariously, they waived the installation fee, which didn't matter because they never came to install. I hired someone else for the 4th try, and he met me at the store to pick up and did a great job installing. Best Buy gave me a $100 gift card and $150 check for how awful they were. I gave away the gift card, and will never buy from them again. Amazon, Walmart, BJs, etc, have similar prices. Do not order anything installed from Best Buy in either Dover or Mays Landing. They will not show or call, management does not care and customer service will NOT connect you to any store. I wasted 3 weeks of my life with this company and I have learned my lesson.

    I recently went through a train wreck of a purchase with Best Buy and they sent me an email asking for a review of the product for a chance to win a $400 gift card. Don’t much care for the gift card, and despite the request being about the product, I decided to give a review of the whole process anyway. Here it is: “I returned it. While I’m sure the MacBook Air was perfectly fine, the entire process was unacceptable. My fiancé is going back to school and needs a proper computer to be able to do it, so I ordered a MacBook Air on Sep 17 and was set to receive it on the 19th.

    The delivery was completely botched. Fedex said I had signed for and received it, which absolutely was not the case. I had footage from my and my neighbors’ cameras at the time in question and there was nothing to suggest I had received it or that FedEx arrived anywhere near us at all. That part of the mess being FedEx’s, I will get into it with them rather than with best buy. Jumping ahead, I first put in a service ticket to best buy and ‘after exhausting all search options’, they concluded that it I had signed for it and I would still be charged for it. Next, I called the best buy customer service line to begin discussing what should be done about the missing MacBook.

    After talking the associate through everything that had been going on, I was put on hold so she could talk to a supervisor and was told it would be a brief hold. That hold turned into about 20 min before I was hung up on. I called the number again, got a different associate and mentioned I would appreciate not being hung up on again. He made good on that and transferred me over to customer care, they were the ones to speak with. I spoke with a third associate who went on to put me on a brief hold, actually came back and began discussing what best buy was (allegedly) willing to do on its end. During his talk, I was abruptly hung up on.

    From there I called in 5 times, the call would be answered, the line would be open for 2 seconds and then it would hang up. This 5 times. Then I had my fiancé call on her phone and the call was answered. This is proof enough to me that some kind of game was being played where, ultimately, my number was flagged and customer service/care were instructed against or barred from speaking to me. Back my fiancé’s call, she repeated everything I had explained and, no surprise, they played the same game with her. They began to explain what could be done, hung up, and ignored calls from her number.

    Jumping ahead to after A LOT of leg work on my part and help from an operations associate at the local FedEx distribution center (who seemed to be the only one to care beyond “well, it was signed for so you must have it”), I finally got my hands on the MacBook and checked the serial number and packaging to make sure everything checked out. That same day on my lunch break I brought it to the closest best buy and turned it in for a refund. When the clerk asked why I was returning it I said that I didn’t want it. She asked if anything was wrong with it and I explained everything that had happened. She seemed floored.

    I also made it a point to emphasise that it wasn’t commentary on her or the store to which it was my first visit. I then pointed out that the biggest problem was the shameful way the customer service hotline acted, and that because of it I no longer wanted the MacBook. Not from best buy. Yes, my fiancé needed it. Yes, it seemed in perfect shape. Yes, I then had it in my possession. But after the way customer service acted, I wouldn’t be satisfied with best buy having my money and I told her as much. Their role in the situation was fully unacceptable and despite needing it, I would find another way. And I did.

    I bought one from another vendor who has had zero problems completing my purchases in the past. The MacBook Air is in our hands. There was a very small upcharge relative to the product, but considering the purchase was completed with no problems whatsoever, I have no qualms with paying a little bit extra. As it concerns my hardware and tech needs, I will be going with them from now on. Final note concerning the field “would you recommend this item”: yes I would. My fiancé has since been using it (the one purchased from a different vendor) for school and it is perfectly suited to her needs. The caveat here is that I recommend getting it elsewhere.“

    I purchased a open box TV from this location. I got a notice that the TV was ready to be picked up. Arriving at the location the TV was not in box nor was wrapped with any protection. The TV was an hour drive from my location. After leaving the location I noticed that the app still send the item have been picked up. I called the store and was rerouted to the call center. I spoke with Joe at the call center and he couldn't find my order under any of my phone numbers. Everytime I go into Best Buy they can not find my account. I ended up giving him the transaction number. He then put me on hold. I was on the phone for 36 mins. He told me that there was a mistake in the store and that they closed it out prior to me refusing to pick it up. So the store would correct that and call me. I told them that it didn't show on my end that it was corrected. He put me back on hold for another 20 minutes.

    He then came back and said and reassured me that they would call me and gave me a claim number. I then received the phone call about 30 minutes later from a person from another location. That person said that the guy from the call center referred it to him and it was wrong person to refer to. That gentleman then tried to look up my information and could not find it. This gentleman dug a little bit deeper and found that I had two accounts and one had the right phone number but did not have my purchase and the second one had my phone number completely wrong. He then gave me the store to the location that I purchased it at and explained that I needed to call the Geek Squad. After 13 attempts calling the Geek Squad I finally got a person on the phone but all managers were busy. I proceeded to hold and wait until I spoke with an employee who grabbed a manager called Sally.

    Sally never picked up the phone but the employee relayed the messages to me. The employee told me that there was no coverage on the package. The employee then relayed to me that they had to return the product first and then resell it to me because of the mistake of showing that I had picked it up even though I did not. So on my second attempt to pick up the TV. I get there and as it is being loaded. I noticed that the bottom of the TV was not covered in bubble wrap but the top was. The employee went inside and came back and wrapped the bottom. After he wrapped the bottom, I placed moving blankets all around the TV and strapped the TV standing up. I got the TV home. The feet are completely missing from the package. I go and plug up the TV. This is when I find that the display is damaged.

The last 7 months with my family has been extremely difficult.

Then my computer on/off button malfunctions. Bring it into Best Buy for repairs only to find out that my membership expired -- The claim they sent 2 emails in August of 2025 but the last email I received from them was August of 2024 -- No calls or mail to say there was a problem. Considering all the cost of funerals/legal and etc. it does not surprise me.

    The store said there was nothing they could do. Gave me an number to call to be reinstated of 888-237-8289 only to find out after being a loyal customer for years, that they would do nothing to reinstate my membership. It only shows that if nothing else corporate lack of sympathy, lack of understanding, lack of common sense is lost among corporate. High hierarchy is nonexistent in corporate America today, but greed is alive and well with these companies. I offered to send them the 2 death certificates, the 3 accident reports and all the doctors my wife and I are involved with since the August 25, 2025 accident to no avail. The only thing I can do is as I told the manager, I will never step foot in Best Buy again and implore other shoppers to do the same.

    Best Buy (Geek Squad) failed to show up for its appointment today. It was to install the replacement receiver I had purchased two days ago. Installation was to connect the receiver to my various other 'entertainment' devices and speakers, all of which were purchased from Best Buy in the past. Despite my various attempts to reach Geek Squad/Best Buy throughout the day, all status updates repeated the same 7a.m.-7p.m arrival window. Best Buy provides no means to communicate to the company, where it could take actionable steps to verify the appointment or notify me if an error was made. The one time I spoke to an agent in midday, she repeated the same information. She could only record my complaints, not forward them to the appropriate business area. No response from my emails to the salesperson who arranged the appointment. Instead, I waited all day.

    Exacerbating my inability to make actionable contact with Best Buy is that I specifically asked for a number to telephone if I did not hear from the company. She handed me her business card, which had no telephone numbers on it. No one came; no one contacted me; and no one for me to report the poor customer service that left me frustrated and susceptible to corporate malfunctioning.

    First, you can never really trust that you’ll be the first to buy an item, even on cameras and equipment worth 1000’s of dollars. Second, the total membership warranties are a scam. Read the fine print, the “two year warranties” expire with your membership, the membership is almost $200 yearly. So unless you plan on laying out $200 every year and buying every single piece of electronics you own from Best Buy? Those warranties are costing you $400 for that 2 year period. No matter how much you spend there? (Could be $1000’s) like me. That subscription is still $200! And it’s pretty worthless! (Mind you that I was a “Total” member when this next part happened)!

    For example, and this gets even better, it should be a separate review really! I bought a Sony video Camera from them (specifically a Sony ZV-E1 camera “open box excellent” for $620. This was an excellent price and I knew it! I believe that it was more an “accident” that it was priced that way and this is how they handled it!

    I purchased a Sony Zv-e1 camera in January of this past year (2025) for $620 I was told it would be shipped from the store right away. Days later it still had not shipped! I was told it would be shipped but that it was “Delayed”! (I should have called and demanded to know why)! I thought that I’d just try to “go along to get along” but I had been fooled by the company's “faux professionalism”. They had on the website that it was “delayed ” for weeks. (I kept checking every few days) but it always said the same thing! I figured, “as long as it was coming” it was ok!

    Finally after a month and change of this, I looked one day and it said “delivered”. To preface this part, I live in a very expensive and protected suburban area, nothing here gets stolen from a porch and I honestly don’t know if anything ever has! They’re too far away from the street to begin with and there’s always neighbors out or looking!

    I’ve never had anything stolen that was delivered to me for 30 years here! There is literally a fire station with a police sub-station in eyeshot down the street. (Anyway) I looked everywhere and checked with my family but nothing had even been attempted to be delivered! So I called customer service to see wtf had happened! They said that their records had shown it was delivered, so if anything happened in between, it must have been either my fault or the delivery companies fault. (I was not able to talk to the delivery company about it)! As I had no shipping information! They never sent an e-mail saying the package had shipped nor was delivered either. Just the website information that simply said “delivered”.

    It seemed they had just lulled me into a waiting game so they could make this excuse, then simply gave a delivery date one day a few days earlier to whatever day we were in! I had alerts from them set up on my phone! They never said it was shipped or delivered at all! It just said “delayed” on the website until weeks later, one day it said “delivered”! I was furious and explained what actually happened! (Obviously they didn’t care, I just don’t believe it was an accident)! I told them I wanted my “open box excellent” camera! They said that they could only refund me! I asked why? Because I WANTED the camera and it was during a sale!

    A month later, An “open box excellent” camera was $800! I said no and refused to accept the refund! I said I paid for an “open box excellent” camera and you never delivered it! Send me an “open box excellent” camera! I don’t want $620 back to go spend $800…** give me my camera or I’ll take you to court just on principle! (Which I should have but i didn’t want to spend $200 to file it just to arrive back where I started! (Money-wise) anyway. Looking back though, I should have done it for the good of humanity! The customer service representative knew I was trying to get him to say aloud that it was about the money difference. (I know it was, I guarantee it)! He actually had the gall to tell me that one “open box excellent” camera was different from another! He actually said it! I couldn’t believe my ears. He refused to admit that it was either a mistake or a cash grab. (Obviously it was one of the two)! This is why I say avoid them like the plague!

    They have actually have customer service reps that will go that far out of their way over $200. And it was an honest buy! It’s like something you’d expect from someone selling cameras on the street! I still cannot believe he tried to pass that off as an excuse. When I asked “how are they different? How can they be rated “excellent” if they aren’t the same? He just kept dodging the question.

    Moral of the story? Stay the ** away from Best Buy! If they will go out of their way to cheat you or if something like this happens and they refuse to make it right? What else are they capable of??? In the end I figured I wanted the camera anyway and it would be covered by the Two year warranty that is now ending in one year, so I paid the 800 for a new one rather than the $797 for an “open box excellent”. Guess what? I got it home and the lens cap was missing. It was an “open box excellent”. Sometimes this s**t is just too much to even dream up fictionally. AVOID BEST BUY LIKE THE PLAGUE

    I signed up for a monthly $9.99 Best Buy Protection Plan when I purchased my Microsoft Surface Studio 2 and paid into it for years. When my payment card updated, Best Buy’s system failed to charge it and canceled my plan. I was never notified, and now Best Buy says there is “no way” to reinstate my coverage. All of the money I’ve paid is essentially wasted. I asked for reinstatement or refund, but they offered no solution. I feel cheated. Customers should know that Best Buy does not stand behind the coverage they sell.

    I had an extremely disappointing experience with Best Buy. I was convinced to purchase a Best Buy Plus membership for a two-month window to be eligible for a price match on a new laptop. When I found a lower price at Micro Center, they initially approved the refund and gave me a reference number, promising the adjustment within 48 hours. However, they never processed it and later refused the refund, citing low stock as an excuse. I was told the issue would be escalated, but I never received any follow-up. To make matters worse, the customer service was terrible, multiple agents disconnected my calls and showed no concern for my issue. I feel completely betrayed and would not recommend their services to anyone.

    As a former call center supervisor/trainer who takes escalations and train level 1 and 2 reps, I am greatly disappointed chat rep can't expedite why an item ordered night before avail p/u store sept 9 yet when reordering the following morning store p/u Sept 5th? This was a very simple fix by messaging the store to flag an order and make it avail as soon as the current p/u date of sept 5th. Second and worst issue is a another rep call/chat avoidance and just transferred me to an incompetent supervisor who can't price match Costco nor can she cancel an item out of an entire order and get me back my reward coupon amount which is technically stealing from your customers.

    Your customers earns $20 reward coupons and when it's used on an order but partial of the order is cancelled, you don't get that amount back. It's like issuing $20 to a customer as a reward from your prior purchases and yet when you cancel an item out of an existing order with multiple items, you don't get that partial of reward that you already have earned.

    For almost a year after purchasing a new HP Laptop, I told the store and geek squad that there was a problem; they did not agree. The last time I brought it in they told me I had to pay to have it fixed even though I had never even been able to use the computer. FYI-when it first went in for diagnostics I bought another computer. SO I had to pay twice to get one functioning piece of equipment AND I had paid for the "premium membership" sold that was a waste of time and money. Shame on you for not honoring your commitment to the public. I have cancelled my membership and accepted Best Buy and Geek Squad are not willing to take responsibility for their end of the customer relationship. I will never step into Best Buy again.

    I needed a Starlink for my ranch which has no cell service, mail delivery or internet access. I ordered it from Best Buy and even paid extra FedEx shipping so that it would arrive before my 5 hour drive there and long holiday weekend. I wanted to make sure my bunk house had internet so we could use our cellphones through WiFi and have Hulu. Don’t count on getting your deliveries by the dates quoted on their website or on your order confirmation. My mount arrived but no Starlink. FedEx just shows delayed on the tracking. I call FedEx and give them my tracking number - they say their driver left the package at the wrong address and maybe it will deliver today and maybe tomorrow. I told them I’m not home - it was suppose to arrive yesterday and I’ll need you to make sure if it’s not delivered today - that it is tomorrow morning so my son can bring it in his way.

    They said that because I am But the shipper - that I will need to call Best Buy and they will need to make the appointment for it to arrive first thing in the morning. Sounds simple enough? Not at all. First off - when you contact Best Buy support you’ll be speaking to people in another country - so from the get go you expect not to get a lot accomplished. Long story short - 3 hours on the phone later and I’m told that they cannot and will not contact FedEx. That the online department didn’t ship the item so they can’t help me and that they will email FedEx and it could take up To 2 days for that info to be related to FedEx.

    I say well if I need it in the morning how does that help me and all they keep saying is I cannot change a shipping label ma'am - I can’t help you. I told them I’m not asking for a new label - I’m asking you to call them and ask that the package be delivering in the morning not the afternoon- and he says I can’t do that. I can’t ask the FedEx driver to be there in the morning. It was all so frustrating that I just wanted to cry. An awful beginning to my holiday weekend with the family. Best Buy is awful but your products somewhere else where you can actually get support - also - there is nowhere at all that I could leave this review on their website so they are filtering what they let you read about their service and products.

    If you make the mistake of ordering an appliance at Best Buy like I did, do not under any circumstances, get the Geek Squad protection plan. I bought a dryer from them a year and a half ago. I started hearing a whooshing sound. I figured since I had the protection plan, I'd have them investigate. It turned out to be the plastic piece on the end of a hoodie string that got stuck inside. The technician came out, removed it but apparently didn't put it back together properly. When I ran the dryer again, it started making a banging and grinding noise. I called them back and another technician came out. He said the parts were not tightened properly. He tightened them back up.

    The next day, I ran the dryer and the banging and grinding noise was even worse. I called back and they said they would order parts to basically replace everything inside. It took weeks for the parts to come in. The original technician came back, opened up the dryer and said it was completely ruined and I'd need a new one. She put in for an exchange.

    I called the exchange number. Because the dryer isn't made anymore and a similar dryer is more money, I had to pay the difference. Also, I had used a promotional gift card for $150 on the original purchase that wouldn't honor. So it's over $200 out of pocket for me even though they broke it. I complained to the Geek Squad manager and he said even if they broke it, there's nothing they can do. I have talked to so many people since then through their call center that have been either unhelpful or rude. The occasional nice person I spoke to didn't have any power to do anything. It's been almost two months since I've had a working dryer, so I had to eat the cost. I will never shop at Best Buy again.

    Am writing to detail a concerning experience I had with Best Buy regarding a promotion and subsequent refund process, which has left me with a negative view of the company's customer service and ethical practices. Approximately one year ago, I participated in a promotion for the Samsung Z-Fold 6, which offered a $375 gift card with the purchase of the device. I purchased two phones but never received the gift cards due to a technical error, which is still visible in my online account. Because the promotional cards were not issued, I returned both devices. However, Best Buy deducted the value of the unissued gift cards from my refund, a total of $750, despite my objections and clear evidence that I had never received or used them.

    Fast forward to two weeks ago, a Best Buy representative contacted me, following an internal audit, to confirm that the gift cards were never utilized. They acknowledged that a refund was owed and initiated the process. I was informed that the refunds would be sent to the original bank account used for the purchase, which I no longer have access to. I promptly informed Best Buy of this, and they documented my request, agreeing to issue at least one of the refunds in the form of a gift card.

    After waiting an additional two weeks without receiving any updates or a refund, I reached out to the CEO of Best Buy via email. I was surprised to receive a direct response, with a subordinate copied to assist. Unfortunately, this gesture of goodwill was short-lived. A week later, after being told the issue would be resolved promptly, I received an email from the subordinate stating they would be sending the refunds back to the inactive bank account, despite my explicit warnings. This action appears to be a deliberate attempt to impede the refund process and force me to navigate the complexities of retrieving funds from an inactive account.

    This entire experience, from the initial failure to honor a promotion to the final, seemingly malicious refusal to process a simple refund correctly, has severely damaged my trust in Best Buy. As a long-standing customer and former TotalTech member, I am disappointed to see that a corporation would handle a valid customer issue with such disregard, especially after an internal audit confirmed their mistake. I believe this level of service and accountability is unacceptable, and I hope this feedback encourages others to consider alternative retailers like Amazon or Micro Center. That is the only way this corporation will go where it needs to go which is out of business.

    Purchased a New GE 5.3 CU/ft front load HE Washer with Pedestal Install & 5-year unlimited warranty on 1.2.2024 from the 71st street store Tulsa OK. After 1 year 5 months of normal use following all the service recommendations it broke down. Service call took 3 times +30mins of frustration - CC Geek Squad came out timely at the end of the week approximately 5 days later. May 14 was the approximate failure date problems started.

    CC stated that these GEs had a bad motherboard that 90% of the time not fixable & a New unit would be delivered if it continued to fail. About 12 days later it failed again, of course always after the soap dispensed & the washer was full of wet clothes. This requires wringing them out in the shower & headed to the Liberty Laundry, costing about $90 each visit. 3 visits and 5 more phone calls to Best Buy Geek Squad & CC came back, gave me his personal cell and card & stated he felt bad about the difficulties we were having. Once again, he installed some more parts including a New Mother board & it was functional for another week or so. Then quit around the last week of June 2025.

    Another difficult service call - (CC did not answer his cell nor respond to my VM or Several texts, despite the $20 then a $50 tip I gave him on 2 occasions. This time we were out of town for the 4th & our son stayed to let Cody in to service the GE washer. He called me & stated it was fixed & he produced another order for 4 more parts, electronic board, door lock and a couple other items. He stated it would work till the parts came in the following Saturday. We threw a load in and it failed same way wet soapy clothes and Liberty Laundry to save the day! I received an "update" 5 days later stating the parts were on backorder. After several more calls to Best Buy & the Geek Squad, they stated it was unknown when the parts would arrive?!?

    So, we spent all total $600+ at the Liberty Laundry drop off for wash & fold. After going to the store in person no one seemed to be able to Help Us Nor tell us why they could not bring a New Machine as was stated to me when I purchased the warranty on the New Machine in January 2024. Simply stated by the Sales guy & Cody ** on several o occasions If they could not fix it, they will replace it with a New One. I tried to pin down the store manager, the service guys and many phone calls trying to get resolution & got nowhere!

    Finally, CC told me (of some "Vague Law" !??!) that maybe if it stays broken for over 25 days straight they MAY bring a new machine. After 2 full weeks and no parts, I decided to purchase a New LG at Appliance Solutions for another $2355.00 - as the $250 a week on wash and fold would buy a new washer pretty soon. Needless to say I called Best Buy Cody ** and the crew & got nowhere - they would not even come and haul off the piece of junk non fixable GE washer I bought less than a year and a half ago! It is really SAD to know that a Man's (Men) word is not true & furthermore the Best Buy Geek Squad gang are just a lot of Double Talkers evading any accountability or responsibility.

    We are just fortunate we could BUY a washer to replace the one that cost $2003 just a year and a half later. I feel bad for those that don't have the means to fight the poor-quality folks in the Best Buy corporate setting. In closing I have put a "Dispute" on the original purchase via our Capital 1 CC card. They have pulled the purchase price back and the FULL amount for the Best Buy WORTHLESS Geek squad warranty. However, this does not guarantee We will prevail in the dispute. If I fail in the dispute I will take the Best Buy store to small claims court here in Tulsa OK. Best Buy you have lost a customer. Kindly, Dissatisfied

    Recently went to the Myrtle Beach SC Best Buy to purchase a birthday gift for my wife, which was to be a Samsung Galaxy S10 tablet. After looking at the different models, decided on a Samsung Galaxy S10 FE+ in silver. Best Buy associate informed us that they only had grey in stock. We also inquired about a Book Cover Keyboard Slim for the S10 FE+ and was told they were also out of stock. Asked to speak to the store manager and was met with an attitude that was very unexpected.

    The store manager didn't seem to care at all that they were out of stock on the items that we wanted to purchase and recommended we place an order for the items. I told the manager that I didn't need to go to the store to order things, I go to the store to purchase items. Attitude from the manager got a lot worse and I simply told the manager that I only wanted him to know about the out of stock situation, not hear excuses. Very poor attitude from a store manager. The manager at one point told us to order the item from Amazon.

    I don't think Best Buy upper management would appreciate their workforce driving business away with poor attitudes towards potential sales, but that's what happened. Ordered the exact model, color, and case we wanted from the Samsung website and got a bundle deal which saved us some money, thanks to the Myrtle Beach Best Buy store manager. I'll never go in the Myrtle Beach Best Buy store again and most likely not even buy from them again. Best Buy needs to better management if they want to survive in this very competitive market.

    Upon calling FedEx it becomes clear that Best Buy requested my order to be returned and not delivered to me. I could have ordered a replacement from Amazon by now mind you, but I called FedEx and they said they gave me a credit because the color I ordered was out of stock.

    We bought a refrigerator at Best Buy, as our existing fridge had died.great price on the perfect refrigerator, but it couldn’t be delivered for 8 days. Not what we wanted, but we took it. A few days later I got a series of texts telling me that I needed to schedule my delivery. But, when I clicked through it showed conflicting information … both a statement that we needed to schedule as well as the schedule date that was already arranged. A day or two later I got another text telling me my delivery date was changed… 4 days further out. No explanation and no apparent concern that we didn’t have a working fridge in the house.

    Lots of phone calls and no clarification. Finally, after an email to the CEO, I got a call from someone in the Escalation Department. She explained that the fridge that was supposed to come to us from the LA area was no longer available due to a mix up on their end, and our fridge was in Phoenix. She guaranteed me it was there, but couldn’t move up the delivery… they were allowing 7 days to move it 400 miles.

    3 days later we got another barrage of mixed message texts and this time the escalation specialist wouldn’t call me back. I finally got someone who told me it was going to be late and we needed to reschedule out another 4 days. Now the questionable delivery would be on the same day we were hosting a dinner party. After buying a different refrigerator at Costco, to be delivered in 3 days, we went back the store and canceled our purchase. And, with that, I have walked out of a Best Buy for the last time.

    I had been a Total member of Best Buy's Geek Squad for as long as they offered the service but today I finally cancelled my membership. I have had problems with my computer for over two months. After 6 remote sessions, one in store visit and several mixed messages I've had it. Since the closest store is over a hundred miles away I tried remote sessions. Each time the problem that they said they fixed never left AND they messed up something else in the process, for example I can no longer open my Google Chrome account on my MacBook Pro. I was told I'd have to come into the store so I tacked on an extra day for a trip to California and mad an appointment.

    When I showed up at the appointment they said the tech said it could only be fixed with an in home appointment, when I explained the closest store was 100 miles from a store, they said it didn't matter. When I got home, I called and they insisted on another remote session. After the Geek Squad specialist said he could not fix it and that I had to go into a store, I lost my patience since I had just traveled 2,000 miles to be in a store. It took over two months but I'm finished chasing them. I'll try something closer to home.

    We are moving 3 1/2 hours away. I ordered a refrigerator to be delivered to our new house over a week in advance of the delivery. The day before delivery I received a text message saying arrival the following day between 10:30 and 2:30. I drove 3 1/2 hours to be there at the new house before we move in, to receive the delivery. The morning of the delivery I received 3 texts saying I need to make an appointment for delivery, but when I click on the link it still says I have an appointment today 10:30-2:30. My delivery never came.

    I called customer support that afternoon. She apologized, didn’t know what was wrong, and couldn’t reschedule me. She sent a request for the warehouse to call me and told me 2-4 hours for the call. No one called. I called customer support the next morning. Told me there were none in stock. Can’t tell me when they will be in stock, can’t reschedule, won’t help me find anything comparable to solve their no refrigerator despite payment problem. I requested to speak with a manager. She said the manager could do nothing to help, but if I insisted-and I did. She told me she couldn’t transfer me and the manager would call in 30-40 min. They never called. I called back a 3rd time and cancelled my order. I will NEVER order from Best Buy again. No one helps when things don’t go as planned no one is empowered to solve any problems. Empathy statements are hollow if you can’t help correct your wrong.

    I'm torn about this review because on the one hand, the appliance salesperson was fantastic. But on the other hand, the delivery has been a nightmare. We had a window of 8am to 12pm and received a call around 10am saying they were behind schedule and wouldn't be coming until after 12pm. And then I heard nothing. I called their help line and it took awhile before they got a hold of the delivery truck. I finally heard back around 5pm that we were next but they were stuck at the current job and didn't know how long it would take. Also during my call with the help line, I found out one of the appliances wasn't ready and wouldn't be delivered today. No one had notified me of this. There was no respect for our time, no communication, and we're still waiting.

    On the afternoon of June 14 2025 I was checking out a 5 dollar email certificate for candy when the cashier insisted that the candy I was buying could not be less than 5.... If I went above 5 then the difference is out of pocket....which defeats the whole premise of it being a gift... This is the same cashier that this same situation occurred a couple months ago.... There is some sort of fine print involved but it is not the 5 dollars of course but the principle. I had had enough of this penny ante stuff.

    Put the candy down and was on my out when I decided to have the door greeter call a manager name tag James. This is the part that was way over the top (or bottom). The first words out of his mouth were accusing me of throwing the candy at the cashier which was a lie. Besides that not hearing my part first. So already the store manager is listening to her say I am wrong. She is right no matter what. Obviously he is a manager that does not want to hear a customer's feedback. I left and I will never set foot in the Greenwood store again. I have spent thousands of dollars in that store over the years. They will not get another penny. I do not wish this store on anyone.

I received no phone call, text message, or email to alert me of this, nor to give a reason. FYI: I live 12 miles from the store. I did, however, receive both a call and a text the day before each time, telling me to be home to take delivery of my TV. I've made several attempts to find out why this keeps happening. As of this moment, I get no response from a human. Just recordings, Bots, and online customer support chatters who say they can't help me.

On the day it was to be delivered, I was sent a message that the delivery was not going to happen. The number they gave me to call was just to a computer, so no person to talk to.

    I called the store, the person in customer service would not let me talk to the store manager and was extremely rude - he eventually said "have a nice day" and hung up. I called back asking for sales this time, trying to talk to the person is sold me the TV, $2449.97 is not cheap for a 65". This person was eventually able to transfer me a person who could help me (no direct dial for some reason) - she said it would be another a week!

    I purchased a refrigerator and a dishwasher from Best Buy in Oceanside, CA on May 2, 2025 and was told that they could be delivered on May 20, 2025. I took the day off of work as the delivery window they gave me was 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. I cleaned out my refrigerator and packed everything in multiple coolers and was ready for the delivery. I waited that day until about 1:00 PM at which time I was getting concerned. I phoned Best Buy about the delivery and installation of my appliances and was told that they didn't have them and that I needed to reschedule. I asked them why I was not contacted earlier about this and they said they didn't know why. I also let them know that I had taken the day off work so as a result, I lost a day's pay as I don't get PTO.

    Even though Best Buy had my contact information, they failed to contact me which I find to be the worst customer service possible on top of the fact that they didn't care. It appears that while Best Buy has appliances on display in their stores, they don't stock inventory. They of course don't tell you this at the time of your purchase. As a result, I had to drive 20 miles to get a complete refund for my purchase. With all of the options you have in buying appliances, please do not depend on Best Buy as they cannot deliver and if you contact their customer service, you will find that they don't care.

    First, I need to say that I did not buy anything this time, I was only researching for people that ended up buying something. I went to the Best Buy in Woodbridge, NJ. The first item was a computer for a friend that is not computer savvy. He often calls me for help with minor issues and, although I am more familiar with Apple products, I usually can help with small issues he is having with his Windows 10 computer. It's an old Dell and getting very slow so I suggested updating. However, not knowing much about Windows, I decided to go to Best Buy to get information. I spoke with Clinton who was extremely helpful and my friend ended up getting his recommendation and going through the transfer of data to the new Dell computer.

    The second item was a TV for my daughter. We saw many 65" TVs at several different stores. When she decided on one at Sam's Club, they were out of stock. So I went back to Best Buy and spoke to a sales person (Leonard) and told him the model we were looking for and wanted to stay in the $500 to $700 range. He said that Best Buy doesn't handle that brand (Philips) but talked to me about other brands with better specs and only a little more expensive. My daughter bought one (LG QNED) but went to a Best Buy near her to get it. Both of these employees were polite, friendly and knowledgeable. I hope they are appreciated by management!

    Best Buy Corporate Office, Executive Leadership, and Customer Experience Team. Dear Best Buy Corporate and Leadership Team, I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding my recent experience with Best Buy’s product ordering, return process, installation service, and corporate customer support. As a long-time customer, I am deeply frustrated and disappointed with how this series of transactions has been handled—resulting in lost time, financial confusion, and a lack of basic customer care.

    My experience began on May 3, 2025, when I purchased the Sony 85" Class BRAVIA XR X90L LED 4K UHD Smart Google TV (2023), a TV stand, and paid an additional $269 for TV Setup & Mounting (56" to 90"). Several days later, the TV was delivered, and the installation team came to mount it. I previously had an Epson 5010 projector and a 120" projector screen, so the delivery technician (who was very professional) advised that the 85" TV was too small for the space and I would not be satisfied with the result.

    Taking his advice, I agreed to upgrade to the Hisense 100" Class U8 Series Mini LED 4K UHD QLED Google TV (2023), and I placed a new order along with a wall mount suitable for the heavier screen. The call center arranged the return for the 85" TV, and I ensured I was home for pickup. However, I was told the wall mount would need to be returned to the store.

    Later, I received a call from the Alpharetta, GA Best Buy store stating they did not carry the required wall mount for the 100" TV. I explained that I had ordered online and hadn’t visited a store. While the store representative eventually located a compatible mount in Kennesaw, her initial attitude was unhelpful. A few days later, my wife received the mount, and upon inspection, the box was badly damaged, open, and the mount itself scratched—clearly an open-box product sold at full price ($280).

    To avoid the call center, which has been consistently unresponsive and difficult to understand due to poor English and communication breakdowns, I printed the return label myself and returned both the damaged 100" wall mount and the original 85" TV mount (which cost $139.99) in person. I also stopped at UPS and then drove 14 minutes to return the mount in-store. Frustrated by the chaos, I went online to order a replacement stand for the 100" TV. By this point, I had already been charged:

    • $1,399.99 for the Sony 85" TV (pending refund),
    • $139.99 for the original wall mount (returned),
    • $269.00 for installation (unused),
    • $280.00 for the damaged 100" wall mount (charged twice),

    • And now $280.00 again, resulting in two identical charges on my Bank of America Visa.

    Despite marking the return reason as "damaged," I received a text from Best Buy stating that my refund would take 15–20 days pending an “investigation.” It is unacceptable that Best Buy sold me an open-box product as new, only to delay refunding the full charge—twice. On top of that, I had to take time off work on May 9, 2025, expecting the 100" TV to be delivered. I received a call from the installer around 9:18 AM asking about the TV and sounding unsure if the job could be done. He called back at 10:35 AM expressing doubt about the size and weight of the TV, and said he might need help moving it. I even offered to assist. But without any courtesy follow-up, my order was canceled by an automated chatbot 25 minutes later, stating that someone would contact me in 1–2 days to reschedule or that I could simply cancel the order. This was a stunning failure in customer service, especially after I had spent additional money on:

    • A HISENSE 5.1.2 CH AX Series Dolby ATMOS speaker system – $349.99

    • A Denon AVR-S970H Home Theater receiver – $799.99

    When I finally received a call at 10:45 AM, I was told the installer could not handle such a large TV. Again, I ask: "Why wasn’t this known at the time of scheduling? Doesn’t Best Buy review orders in advance?" I vented my frustration to Chelsea, who, to her credit, was kind, empathetic, and professional. She promised not to drop the call as the offshore call center representatives often do. She called me back as promised, placed me on hold, and introduced Edward **, who I was told is a spokesperson based in your Chicago corporate office.

    My conversation with Edward was disappointing and unhelpful. He sounded robotic, lacked empathy, and even remarked, “I would never have one of those 100-inch TVs in my house—I have a 55-inch.” This kind of comment is not only unprofessional but downright offensive to a customer who has spent several thousand dollars with your company. When I asked about the double wall mount charge, Edward stated, "It should fall off." This dismissive response reflects the broken systems and poor training within Best Buy’s customer operations. To summarize:

    • I was sold a damaged open-box item at full price.
    • I was double-charged and given a generic "investigation pending" message for a refund.
    • I took PTO from work for a delivery that was abruptly canceled with no courtesy call.
    • I have received incessant chatbot texts every 15 minutes urging me to reschedule.

    • The call center cannot help, and the representative who could (Chelsea) is the only highlight in this dismal experience.

    Edward ** promised a market manager would contact me for delivery on Saturday with additional support. However, I’ve since received no confirmed delivery—only more reschedule prompts. At this point, I’ve been left to ask: Should I just cancel the entire order? I have never had a more chaotic, uncoordinated, and frustrating experience with a major retailer. Amazon’s customer service and return process far surpass Best Buy's. I am seriously considering filing a dispute with Bank of America and notifying the Better Business Bureau, Trustpilot, and consumer news outlets of this situation. I am formally requesting the following:

    1. A full and immediate refund of the duplicate $280 charge for the 100" wall mount.
    2. A clear and confirmed delivery and installation plan for the 100" Hisense TV.
    3. A formal apology and response from a senior member of the Best Buy executive team.

    4. A review of Edward Wiley’s customer service conduct and training.

    Please take this matter seriously. I expect a resolution, not another apology from a chatbot. I even reached out to their senior leadership and not response! press@bestbuy.com, investorrelations@bestbuy.com, privacymanager@bestbuy.com, **.

I called to check the status on the job on Day 5 and was told that it was 50% done and they'd text me when it was ready. It's now Day 7 and, since I hadn't heard from them, I called again and I'm now being told that it is still not done and that the real service lag time is 7 to 10 days, so I should call back if I haven't heard from them in the next 3 days, at which time they'll initiate some kind of an "expedite" process! Had I known that the REAL lag time was 7 to 10 (or so), I would have either logged through the data transfer process myself or taken the job to an independent shop.

    I suspect that my job has been shoved to the back of the pack because I declined to purchase one of their useless and outrageously expensive memberships containing a "protection" plan. In any event, it will be a cold day in Hell before I make another purchase from Best Buy or get any work done by their crummy Geek Squad.

    Buying experience was five stars. Chaotic experience was with the haul away service which deserves zero stars. Best Buy needs to list with their eight items on the checklist to prepare for a successful haul away experience a ninth important item: #9 You are responsible for having all old appliances completely disconnected or they will not be hauled away. When I attempted to reschedule the haulaway at a later date, the reps would inform me of a date but later I would discover that the date was never actually made. Discovered that the haulaways were falsely reported as “completed” and that’s why the rescheduling of the haul always could not be established. Very frustrating and confusing to be told one thing and to find out something totally different. For this reason, I would probably never buy appliances from Best Buy again.

A wireless plan vendor inside the store aggressively tried to sell me an upgraded phone plan opportunity I even made it to the headphones section. Then, after placing my selected wires in a personal shopping bag to keep my hands free, I was confronted by a manager and asked nicely to remove the items. I complied immediately, but the situation was embarrassing. Afterward, I noticed a couple of staff members stare at me including the wireless plan vendor.

    I returned the next day to exchange the Bose headphones for Beats. The manager kindly grab the model I wanted but requested I follow him to the register line, and they placed the product behind the cashier counter, but I again felt like I was being watched the entire time. On the third day, I returned the Beats for Shokz headphones, and the scrutiny continued.

    I have made legitimate purchases and followed all store policies the last couple of years, yet I felt unfairly profiled throughout each visit. Loss prevention is important, but not at the cost of making paying customers feel targeted. I am unsure if I'm willing to modify my shopping habit at this location and go elsewhere as it's convenient but I’m sharing this here so Best Buy leadership can take this seriously.

Ummm ok I didn’t pre order an item and now you can’t let me cancel my TV that I am going to buy myself at the store at this point right now. So yeah no TV. No cancel but I did call PayPal to start a dispute. Unreal. Unreliable.

    Somehow they got my card. They claimed I purchased in store/online. I had made no purchase in four or five years and never with the card they charged. My card company investigated/confirmed my non purchase- that took three months. Last month they tried to use my card again! I have not purchased anything from “Worst Buy” in at least 4 yrs- and NEVER WILL!

    I ordered a $500 subwoofer online which I never received. Best Buy made me waste a ton of time, asking me to get a police report, get an officer to call them, then email them, follow up with FedEx, my residence etc etc. Only to reject my request for a refund every single time, for an item they failed to deliver. To add insult to the injury, Fedex had no proof of delivery either. 20+ years active customer, have spent thousands of dollars.

    Sad to see how this once great company has fallen. The focus is clearly on upselling. Service and customer support no longer exist. Will end my 15 relationship - which I maintained because of the service and support - and move on to Costco, who offers service and support.

    I used to be a HUGE Best Buy fan. For 10 years+ I've purchased items from Best Buy because you were convenient, customer service was great and the Warranty/Rewards Program could not be beat! I purchased hundreds of items include 8 appliances all because of the amazing free delivery, free install and repair service! Then, that amazing TOTAL Program went away leaving not much left to be desired but I remained a loyal customer. 3 weeks ago (March, 2025) I ordered a TV wall mount install as well as an in-wall cable install. I scheduled both installations 2.5 weeks in advance. I received confirmation texts of the installs and then all of a sudden, the morning of the install, I receive a text saying I need to schedule my install! THAT IS IT! NOTHING ELSE. I was absolutely confused!

    Thinking this was an error, I called customer service only to be told that the person assigned to my install didn't show and I needed to reschedule. NO ONE CARED ABOUT ME AS THE CUSTOMER. NO ONE BOTHERED TO EVEN CALL AS A COMMON COURTESY. NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE THAT I'VE BEEN A LONG-STANDING CUSTOMER. Best Buy not caring about their customers is a blessing in surprise. That same morning, I called my local handyman who came out to my home in a few hours, completed the install and charged me $250 less! Why should I continue to be loyal to a store that obviously doesn't care about my business. I WILL NEVER SHOP AT BEST BUY AGAIN. *DONE*.

    I bought RAM for my laptop. Sales rep online helped me "make an appointment". Well, it turns out appointments are for you to drop your computer and leave it there for 3 to 4 business days because "they have a queue of computers". Do you know how long does it take to change the RAM of a laptop? 5 to 10 minutes if you have the proper tools. It's obvious that this A-squad (not Geek Squad at all) is useless. Do you think we have 7 laptops, one for each day of the week? Well, I don't, I need mine for work. Before leaving the store I proceeded to return the item, you should be ashamed of your horrible customer service.

    I contacted Best Buy in Tualatin, Oregon on March 7 to check if a MacBook Air was available during a promotional sale. To prevent an unnecessary trip, I asked the agent if he was at the store to verify the product's availability, and he assured me he was. Throughout the call, my dad and I were asked intrusive personal questions. The agent asked how old I was and commented about my plans for the future. It seemed sketchy, so we considered driving up to the store ourselves. However, the call agent told us that it was in our best interests that we buy it immediately. Believing the call center's confirmation, we went ahead and bought the laptop. We drove across the city to pick it up only to be told that it was out of stock, despite the enthusiastic assurance that it was ready for us. I had called to speak directly with someone at the store to avoid this very hassle, and instead, I was connected to an overseas call center, where I received misleading information. The experience wasted our time and fuel. It became more of a hassle than a good deal.

    Fortunately, Wren, a helpful and nice employee at the Tualatin store, managed to find a replacement. But, the situation became worse when we were told that we could only receive the product we had already paid for was if we canceled the original order and repurchased it, forcing us to pay twice for the same item in one day. This was not only outrageous but also deeply disappointing and costly. No compensation or guarantee of a better future experience was offered to us.

    And we were not the only ones who experienced poor service, misinformation, and inconvenience from the call center. Other customers have also reported being directly lied to and manipulated. This has been an ongoing problem and it is a sign that Best Buy does not care about its customers or its system. Because of this, my dad and I will not go there again, and we strongly advise you to do the same to avoid the hassle.

    Worst buying experience. Bought television sets on a Saturday. Was told that these would be delivered on Monday. Television did not arrive. Went to the store and called hotlines several times but no clear resolution. On Thursday, without my consent, order was cancelled. I was told that I have been refunded. Got an email from my credit card company that I was charged again for the same purchase. Horrible and rude staff at OKC shop along N May. Did not apologize, unrepentant.

    Worst Customer Service Experience Ever! Don't trust anything their customer service tells you. I have had the run around from them for 2 months! I have done everything I was supposed to do (filed police report, etc.) to get a refund from them, UPS or Paypal for an item I did not receive. I was even told by one of their customer service reps that I would be getting a refund, then 4 days later got an email stating my investigation was complete and I would not be getting a refund. Unbelievable what they have put me through! Should the consumer take the hit for someone else's thievery?

    I just checked my statement and was $999.71 for and interest charge stemming from a promotional 18 months ago. They also raised my APR to 29%, they said that was the rate I opened my account 7 years ago. That is totally impossible and none of their non American customer service people can look back and see when I opened my account and the interest rate at that time. Robbery and thievery. Liars.

    I would never open a 29% interest rate for an account they want to justify without evidence. That means they were charging me a $55 dollar per month finance charge on a $1925.16 purchase even though for 18 I have paid more than the charge plus a $29 charge that is taken out monthly. Of course they say there is nothing they can do. I am on hold waiting for some pretend manager to tell me there is nothing they can do. Well I am going to go to every Best Buy review and post my distaste for their company policies. I also brought up the feds making changes and they said they haven't received any rate changes and that if I could pay $930 it would take away my interest, uh duh. Isn't that paying the interest.

    On 12/22/2024, I bought an open box 2023 24" M3 iMac computer advertised in "excellent" condition for a bargain price of $879 (see attached). Best Buy also advertised that computer could be returned to any BB location (see attached).Because of that, I was willing to drive 4 1/2 hours round trip to pick it up in New Jersey from Connecticut. When I opened the box, the power cord/adaptor was missing. This was very upsetting as I picked it up two days before Christmas. I called Best Buy and went into its local store where I was told that they didn't carry that accessory as a separate item and that I'd have to buy on the secondary market.

    After many hours, I found the correct adaptor on eBay and purchased it at my expense for an additional $179. It arrived on January 3, 2025. I was able to start up the computer. However, when setting it up, it became clear that there was a major problem with the computer (see attached). I had no idea what it meant (I'm a senior without much computer knowledge). I tried to sign in and another message appeared (see attached). I then realized there was a major problem and immediately stopped installation.

    I called my son and he explained to me that my confidential and personal information may have been compromised. He, his fiancée and I immediately began to change all of my passwords, about 25. This took us a few hours start to finish but we got it done. Then the calls and emails to Best Buy commenced as to what we should do. We got little response. A customer care representative finally advised me to return it to any BB location. I carefully repacked the computer to ensure its safety, spending $40-50 on packing materials.

    On 1/7/25, I brought the computer to closest BB location (5 minutes from home). The clerks were baffled by the history and wouldn't take possession and give me a refund.The manager was called in and after a few minutes away from my hearing, rudely advised me that I'd have to return to the NJ location, i.e., policy was not to take a return of a product purchased at another location. He actually said to me in front of my wife and other customers, you waited 10 days to return, how do I know you didn't infect the computer. He was accusing me of illegal activity. I got agitated and demanded to see a more senior manager. He said he was top manager in store. I was now completely frustrated and upset, so he called the police on me (a 76 year old, 5'5" senior); he was literally at least 6'10".

    The police arrived and were very helpful. I'm glad they were there. Given their presence, after another hour, I was able to contact BB customer care who calmly offered to email a return label to me. The manager even refused to provide such label to the surprise of the police officers. I returned the computer and received a refund; I also received a refund for the power cord from eBay seller. Bottom line, I don't have the reduced priced computer, my holidays were ruined and I and other family members spend hours and hours of time dealing with the problems arising from BB incompetence and ineptitude. BB finally offered to sell a newer version computer to me for $1399 less $200 discount, leaving me to pay $1199 for a computer I purchased for $879. I rejected their offer. I truly believe that I should get similar computer for free or at least for $879, the benefit of our bargain.

    Be Aware of Best Buy Credit Card SCAM. It is over 10 years that we have been a customer of Best Buy and always made our payments on time and sometimes even chat customer service if we are behind our payments. On September of 2024, they added 2700 $ on our bill for late payment interest fee. I contacted them and they said that we have not paid a debt that was overdue on September 2022 for the amount of 50 dollars and 500 dollars. I told them why we were not notified or why it is not on the first page of our bill till after 24 months.

    The customer service was not able to help and connected to the manager and she asked me to scroll down to third page, small print. But they were not able to answer me why my 200 dollars of payment that I made while my minimum payment was 20 dollars, go through that debt, they said that it works toward no due payments too, so I get charged interest even if I make a payment regularly. So we ended up paying 2700 interest.

    I bought a dishwasher 11/15/24 that was not delivered until 12/3/24. The 3rd party installers did not install it correctly and I was displeased with the service. I called to have this fixed and requested to have another come out. For their first available appointment, I had to wait two weeks only to find out they had scheduled the exact same team to come and fix the dishwasher. I called and insisted I did not want that same people to come out and again requested a different team and was told I had to wait until January to get someone from Geek Squad to come out. I waited and missed a day of work only to find out, after waiting 12 hours and calling to be reassured someone was coming, that nobody was and the appointment needed to be rescheduled.

    Finally, the techs came out to my house, 1/23/25, and told me it was installed incorrectly and that parts were missing from the dishwasher and I needed to call Best Buy to request an exchange for the dishwasher, which I did the same day. After a 45 minute conversation on the phone with a representative explaining my case, and they could see all the evidence of all of the phone calls I had made, and the appointments made and then canceled by the techs, I Was told that I was outside of my exchange window date at this point, and there was nothing they could do and I needed to call GE instead.

    The fact that I had to call GE to try to get my dishwasher fixed/exchanged after spending money on a five-year warranty is insane and it’s deceptive. I was only outside of my 60 day Exchange timeframe because Best Buy kept making appointments two weeks out and then nobody would come to my house to fix this. Best Buy is using unfair and deceptive practices especially when it comes to their warranties and they are unwilling to make it right. I have been a long time shopper of Best Buy because I always had great service with geek squad but it seems the service has gone way downhill now.

    Bought an HP computer that after 4 months of use the fan failed. We brought it in for repair at Best Buy. Were told it would take 2 weeks and because it was under warranty we had to go through them. After a week and a half the service report said parts were received and repair was underway. A week after we received an email stating parts were back ordered. At week 4 the service notice still read that parts were received and repair was underway. Received another email stating that parts were back ordered. Were told we would have to wait till Feb 9 for them to make this right. My son needed the computer for college. Best Buy refused to make things right and either give us a new computer or refund our money even though they could not tell us when the computer would be repaired.

    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.
