    I purchased an oven, microwave and exhaust hood from Best Buy. Actually, two separate orders. Items were listed as being available and delivery dates were provided. However, two days prior to both deliveries, Best Buy said that the products were not available and needed to reschedule delivery. One items was delayed twice because they didn't have the item. As a result, I went to other appliance stores and found identical items and was able to get the appliances delivered without the Best Buy bait and switch.

    TLDR: Best Buy sells fake AirPods and refuses to fix the problem. I purchased Apple AirPod pro 2 on May 29th and gave them as a gift 2 weeks later. They were sealed and new. When connecting them they weren't connecting correctly and when they did it was static and bad quality. We took them into the Geek Squad to look at them and they informed us the serial number on the box and on the AirPods match but when you connect them to the device the serial number is different. They guessed someone switched it that works at Best Buy or at the factory in Vietnam. Although they can see we were scammed they told us there's nothing they can do as it's 6 days outside the return window and we need to call apple. Apple said it has to be brought in and the nearest Apple Store is 2 hours away one way.

    What a racket, they sell counterfeit headphones as new and original and then refuse to help and do nothing even when they can see and admit they delivered a counterfeit product. I've gone ahead and attached photos of the two serial numbers of what it should be based on the receipt and what it is when connected. I've been a Best Buy customer for over 20 years and a card holder since 2011 and am insanely disappointed In them. I've never complained or had issues and have spend thousands on appliances and tvs and apple products but this is nuts. They sell counterfeit goods and don't help. I’m a Best Buy customer no more and card is on the way to the trash. Also the geek squad took my wife's unlocked phone to the back room out of our sight To check on these headphones.

    You should never take someone's unlocked phone to a back room. It should be done in front of you. It's a big security issue and they were gone with it for like 10 minutes. Just all around bad service by a company we were loyal to and were scammed by. Also after reading the reviews on Apple headphones on Best Buy apparently this is a common scam that Best buys does as there's are quite a few with the same issues or google fake AirPods Best Buy and there are tons of forums of people they have done this to. It’s crazy they know about it and do not do anything and if you don’t catch the scam within the return window you are SOL. The return window shouldn’t apply for counterfeit goods. Images are what serial Number should be according to the receipt box case and AirPods. The other images of what the serial number shows when actually connected to your device.

    My wife went online to purchase a special connecting cord for a computer. Our local Best Buy did not have it but one that was slightly more than 40 miles away did. So she ordered it for pickup and I drove there yesterday (within minutes of order confirmation). I get to the store and they said it would take 30 minutes to retrieve the item. The store had no other customers in it at the time and 3 or 4 staff working. I offered to go to the appropriate shelf and pick it up and bring it back to the register. I was told I could not do that as it would "screw up their inventory system." 15 minutes later the clerk comes up to me and tells me that the part is not in the store. I show him the verification sent to my wife online - he says that there must have been a mistake made.

    My wife had paid for the piece of equipment and received verification that it was in stock or I wouldn't have driven more than 45 minutes in 95-degree heat. I asked for the order to be cancelled and was told that it couldn't be cancelled since it was ordered online. We called the credit card company and they took care of the refund. Two hours later I get a text from Best Buy saying the order had been cancelled because I failed to pick up the item. I called customer service last night and that was a useless experience. Even after carefully explaining (in writing) the situation, they thought I was calling for a refund.

    Wasted another 40 minutes going back and forth with them trying to explain the situation. It is little wonder that their ranking is below 2 stars. Apparently customer service is not a high priority to them. I would suggest that they look at the market for stores similar to them (Service Merchandise for example) who are no longer around - not because of pricing but because of a total absence of regard for their customers.

    After conducting a month-long research on the best-rated laptops, I decided on a Lenovo Ideapad from Best Buy. However, after less than four months, the screen has failed to function. I do not abuse or use my laptop anywhere but my office. Yet, the geek I spoke with at Best Buy said it was damaged and so, the warranty does not apply. If I had purchased an additional warranty for $150., the repair would have been covered.

    I'm writing this review to serve as a warning to prospective Best Buy customers. If you think you're getting a deal because of Best Buy's low prices, think again. To have a warranty that they will honor, you will need to spend additional money for that warranty. Otherwise, it will cost you for the part, the labor, and the shipping. The unwritten word is "damage is not covered, and by the way, IT'S ALWAYS DAMAGED". Save yourself money and aggravation and do business with a company that has a more honest approach.

    I haven’t shopped at Best Buy in years because, long ago, I formed the opinion that it was more expensive than alternatives. Also shopping in the store was never a great experience. It was like going to a Staples or Pet Smart: hard to find info or knowledgeable help, long waits to check out. However, someone gave me a $500 gift card and I finally redeemed it. There wasn’t much I wanted, but I picked some items: among them, two of the following products for baby gifts: VTech - Wyatt the Whale Storytelling Soother - Blue/White. Model: BC8312. SKU: 6305582. Here’s what I have experienced.

    1. The first delivery was missing one of the two VTech items that I ordered and paid for. 2. I spent a half hour getting through to someone and explaining the issue. They said they would rush out the missing item under a new order number: Order #**. 3. After some time, the second VTech item arrived. But instead of it being packaged in a box like the first one, it was packed in a flimsy envelope, and the box arrived damaged/destroyed. This was unsuitable for a baby gift. 4. I spent a half hour getting through to someone on Best Buy chat again and explaining the issue. The representative had difficulty understanding. After a lot of time back and forth and time waiting, the representative told me my only option was for Best Buy to email me a label and return the item for a refund. I wasn’t happy because I now would have to shop for another baby gift, and no apologies or anything were even offered, but since that was my only choice, I agreed.

    5. I waited several days and Best Buy never emailed the label. 6. I spent a half hour getting through to someone on chat again and explaining the issue. This representative told me she would have the label emailed to me. 7. This time, I received the label-- with no instructions other than to take it to a UPS store. 8. I brought the item to a UPS store, which wasn’t convenient. I waited in line. They scanned the bar code and told me they weren’t allowed to take the item because I was required to have the box wrapped or packaged. Those instructions were not included with the Best Buy email label or mentioned on the chat. So this trip to UPS was yet another unnecessary waste of gas, time, and effort. 9. The UPS store said they would package the item for me for $4.00 but suggested I call Best Buy and tell them to send a bar code that doesn’t require packaging.

    10. I found a phone number for Best Buy and called. After some time waiting, listening to irrelevant recordings and prompts, I got a representative explained the issue. She told me they would not provide any other label options, that I would have to package the product for return at my own expense even though these problems were not of my doing and I had already been greatly inconvenienced. No apologies were offered. 11. I packaged, at my own expense, the item and returned it. 12. Days later I received a return confirmation from Best Buy that said my refund had been processed for ZERO dollars. 13. I got on chat and explained the whole thing and asked for my refund. After much back and forth and waiting, the agent said I would have to call on the phone.

    14. I called Best Buy and over the course of about 40 minutes an agent worked to handle this. When it was over, he said I might be issued a credit on my credit card or it might be a gift card, but he couldn’t tell me which, and if it was a gift card, I would have to call back and get information on how to get it. He told me I would just call back in 7-10 days to find out. I told him this is ridiculous. I’ve spent hours and way more money in terms of time trying to get a refund for $50 — and it’s STILL not over.

    I wrote HQ three times but apparently nobody cares. Due to problems on Best Buy’s end, this simple attempt to buy a baby gift has proven ridiculously disastrous. I have wasted several hours of valuable time, and still have no baby gift and no refund.

    My hubby and I went in to purchase a new laptop. I was extremely disappointed in the salespersons. The first guy came and asked what we were looking for. We told him. He admitted that he knew a little bit. He hands us over to another guy. This guy kept looking back at the couple at the sales counter as he answered a couple of our questions. Then he said he would be back and went to the sales counter where a cashier and couple were at. I was extremely disappointed as this was unacceptable professional behavior. We waited a few minutes then left because of the horrible service. I will NEVER attempt to do business with Best Buy or recommend Best Buy. I received excellent service from COSTCO!!

Today 2 weeks and 2 days past the return policy I tried to return those items for my money back unopened. They would only allow a store credit. Even corporate could not override. Although website says it’s at their discretion. I have purchased laptops computers tvs from Best Buy but I will never spend another cent in this store or any other Best Buy as long as I live.

    I put in an order for 3 items totaling $170, to be sent to my current address. When I received the email confirmation, I discovered they were sending 2 of the items in the order to my old address and one item, the least expensive, to my correct address. I immediately contacted them and was told they would contact FedEx, don't worry, they can fix it. Several hours later I received a response telling me they were unable to fix it, to contact fed ex. Fed ex said only the shipper can fix it. I called again, was again reassured and again received an email later advising me they could not do anything.

    I tried to get shipment diverted through fed ex only to be told the same thing, shipper has to do it, receiver cannot. When the 2 more expensive items were delivered to the wrong address I contacted Best Buy, they offered reshipment or refund, I asked for reshipment. An hour later I received an email telling me I would not be getting a reshipment or a refund. Terrible, terrible policy.

    On 5/9/2024 I purchased online a Dishwasher, to be installed next day (Order number: **). The site as well as their prep instructions gave specs to measure to insure that it fits. I measured and per the specs given we were fine. The next morning their team showed up and stated that it required 34 1/4 inches high (instead of the 33 1/2 inches n the specs) and said I needed an exchange unit and left this one in the garage. I called in because the account I setup online was now not logging me in, and the password reset link never arrived. The person on the phone said they don't really know the specs and rely on the install people to assess. Then said they can't process a change since current delivery is still open and I would need to call back tomorrow for maybe a Tuesday appointment. As far as my login, it could take up to 24 hours to receive the password link.

    I shared what poor customer service this is. Their site has the wrong specs, why am I the customer being given the burden to call back to correct their mistake, I want what I ordered. She said that is all they can do. I asked for a Manager and she stated they are remote so she can request it, but a Manager would call back within 24 hours. Frustrated I said, "Cancel the order, pick up this unit and refund my money." She stated she can't cancel, I would need to call back tomorrow to cancel and would take a couple weeks for the money to be refunded. Worst customer service and company ever.

I called again after the next statement they said they would reverse it, they did not. Now they are adding monthly late fees to a charge that should've been reversed. I called today to resolve, said I would pay their error of the initial late fee and interest charge. They refused. They don't want to settle their own mistake.

    It's funny how credit card companies will go after you for payment but when they owe you money they literally drag their feet. What's even crazier is that the money they say I owe was a fraud claim that they approved. But they call every day all-day to collect money that they will end up having to give back. They owe us hundreds and it's been since August 2023!!! So when I decided to stop paying them they freak out. Be aware!!! According to Best Buy, we owe nothing but yet they keep asking for money.

    I had issues with the 2nd delivery of my item. The pedestal for my washing machine was on back order and delivery people were to attach it to my machine. They refused because they said they didn't have bolts. I found out later bolts were not needed. I attempted to call the store but was redirected to a person in the Philippines and then transferred to India. I had to drive to store and found out from manager, Andre, that they no longer have a direct line to store locations. Andre was useless. He said he would get back to me and I had to call him. He said he would contact me again the following week and he never did. Corporate only offered me $75 after I waited for 3rd delivery. I refused. DO NOT BUY anything from Best Buy.

    Their ‘refurbished’ products are customer returns and demo units with no refurbishment done despite advertising as such. I was sent a broken charger with a MacBook covered in dirt and hair embedded inside the charger with a bent pin - it could have caused a fire had I not noticed it. They’re completely apathetic and detached offering a coupon to shop with them again as the ‘solution’.

    BEST BUY -WORST SERVICE....EVER. I bought a tv at Best Buy and asked that they it delivered, they took down all of the delivery details. The day of delivery came and nothing arrived and not even a notice to tell me anything. I called them and they said that the delivery had been delayed by a couple of days. I asked them why they didn't notify me and they had no answer. The second delivery day came and went and still no TV, This time they sent an email to say it would be another 2 days, When I asked them why they said that the delivery van had been to the location, called the number, got no reply, left a message and left I asked why didn't they just ring the door bell and deliver the TV, No answer, they never called or left a message.

    The 3rd attempt was changed on the morning of the delivery as they were now out of stock on the TV I ordered. I did get emails from various supervisors apologizing for the appalling service and asking that I call them if I had any further problems, I did call them and left messages and they never called back. At this point I gave up on the delivery and elected to pick it up, I gave them the name of the Best Buy store and the name of the person picking it up, They accepted the change and said they would email me when it was ready. I had to chase them to get the email and when it arrived it had the wrong Store details on it. I called them to complain again and this time they told me that I had to pick it up in person even after they had already told me that it was ok for someone else to collect it.

    At this point I cancelled the order and asked for a full refund which they gave me, Funny thing is after all that they still sent me an email with the delivery details for the following day for the TV I had already cancelled. My advice is if you buy form best buy, take it with you because they have no idea what they are doing when it comes to delivery, they are an appalling company and the customer service stinks.

On this occasion, I took in half a dozen memory sticks of various types where I had saved pictures since 2017 from various devices. Asked if Geek Squad could somehow load them all onto my IPad PRO. 3 technicians were on duty. Each one friendly, helpful, immediately available. They all worked together to consider how to do it. Left the IPad at the store and had it back in one day - all pictures loaded, everything works. Love the Geek Squad! Best service!

    Best Buy will break every consumer right...Run and Hide... beware of doing business with Best Buy. They will leave you hanging. I bought a GE laundry dryer from Best Buy and bought the total tech support which gives us a 2-year warranty. Shortly after I bought it I realized that it was not drying well and the clothes remain wet. A technician came and said that he fixed it, only to find out that the problem still exists. I called and they came back. And they said they needed a part. Then they came and change the part. Few months later I called with the same problem. Best Buy scheduled an appointment and never showed up. Technician name was Antonio. I called again about 2 months ago.

    They insisted that I have to pay for the service call although nobody told me when I signed up for total tech that I have to pay. Then the technician came here. He tried to fix it and told us to try it on manual and put it on 60 minutes or more. We did that and still the clothes are coming out damp. We called him and he came back and ordered parts. He changed the parts. Then we realized that the dryer is still not drying. I called the technician many times and texted him, no answer. I then called corporate. They set up another appointment.

    I waited at home on Saturday all day, nobody shows up or called. I called the technician but he didn't answer him. His name is Marlon. I called corporate and explained all the inconvenience. They said they can not do anything about it. When I asked why the technician did not show up or call, they said because the part did not arrive. I then asked, "Why would you set an appointment and send me multiple messages that I need to stay home for it when the part did not arrive," they had no answer. They said they need to set up another appointment.

    My consumer rights have been violated many times. The lemon law does not seem to apply to Best Buy. Best Buy is having no regard to consumer time being intentionally wasted.

    I will never again do business with Best Buy. What a flipping debacle trying to purchase something online. I made a mistake and purchased the wrong size TV. I realized my mistake. Called immediately to switch to a smaller version. Of course that delayed delivery another day. The day before delivery I opened up the Best Buy app and saw that my purchase was canceled. Apparently there was an issue with Apple Pay. I received no notification, no option to provide an additional method of payment. I spent another hour on the phone trying to understand what the problem was. Upon their explanation, they re-ordered the same TV but again delivery would be delayed yet another day.

    At this point I would've been without a TV for nearly a week. No one made an effort to assist or escalate the delivery. After 2 1/2 hours on the phone, someone at the corporate office finally was able to have my TV delivered and set up for me the same day. How is it that after 2 1/2 hours and multiple phone calls when no one else offered to help did I find one person at Best Buy who understood the dilemma and helped me immediately. Apparently, they have an army of agents who are trained to be all sweetness and light not willing to help find a solution.

    They need to take two phrases out of their vocabulary, "I understand" and "unfortunately". Anyone in the customer service industry understands not to tell a customer that they understand because they obviously do not. 'Unfortunately' should be stricken from the vocabulary altogether. Now I see that they owe me for three, yes three charges on my bank card for the same TV which they have not refunded me to this day. How long will this take I wonder? This was definitely a lesson in patience and fortitude. Get rid of your goddamn scripts when you're dealing with customers and show a little empathy.

She ensured will provide a free installation. I even asked her why it isn't showing on my receipt, she explained this is on her notes, I don't have to worry, it will be provided. When it comes to time of delivery, everyone is saying the installation is not included, I have to pay for it, called in supervisor, customer care, all they are saying is sorry, they will bring this up to their meeting, and sorry about this. But installation will be charged if I want it. Such a shady business. I even asked at the beginning, if this is not included, I would just go for Costco. I shouldn't trusted them. Should've went with Costco. Never do business with them again. Everyone just be careful on what they promised if it's not showing on the receipt.

    I bought a car radio for my daughter birthday and set up installation the Pico location in west LA. I purposedly picked a radio that would be compatible with her car. On the day of installation the installer called her 3 hrs before her appointment to move her up because he "had plans". She hurried over as fast as she could. Once finished he did not take her through how to use the system. When she left half the functions didn't work and the telephone didn't work. She took it back, he then said he didn't realize she had back speakers. What? How do you not check? He then tried to upgrade her to a more expensive model. She now has to go back for a third time. I called the store who wouldn't allow me to talk to a manager but would pass my number on for a call back. Three days later no call. Shame on you. Do not buy stereos from here!

    I wish I could give negative stars. I purchased a printer for my business, but when I placed the order, the shipping address did not register and defaulted to my billing address, which is a PO Box. I immediately (less than one minute after placing the order) contacted customer support and told them about the problem. The customer service rep told me he entered the correct address on the order. He lied. I never received the printer, especially since my post office box is 3" x 4", was never notified by the post office where the printer was, so I did not ever receive it or take possession of it (easy to confirm since I never signed for the package, nor was it scanned in as picked up).

    Best Buy customer service told me that the printer was at the post office and they were requesting a return. They lied again. They are now telling me that I somehow have a Canon printer sitting in my 3" x 4" post office box and I have to pay for it. They told me they "checked" their warehouse and the printer was never returned. They are intending to rip me off for an item I never received, never took possession of, and was, in fact, impossible to be listed as delivered. They are refusing to even request a search for the package by the post office, insisting again, that somehow the printer was stuffed into my post office box and I received it. This has been going on since Christmas. They are not worthy of anyone's business.

Got outsourced, out-of-country customer service agents who either could not or would not transfer me to the actual store so I could request they hold the disc for me to retrieve tomorrow (I do not drive and could not get another ride back today). I tried calling, I tried texting, I tried chatting, I requested and did not get an email address to try to reach someone in the actual store. This is not acceptable customer service.

Weeks later no refund. A month later no refund. I contacted BestBuy many many times on this and they give the same excuses. "please be patient". A year latter they say after a internal investigation the package is said to be stolen and I should contact the police. Like seriously you waste dozens of hours of my time to say I'm not getting refund in the end that it was theft?

    I file a police report and contact BestBuy and they say, "We will totally help. Just sent us the police report." Soon after I get a message from Elida executive resolution specialist saying they cannot help as they are not responsible for loss or theft. What's even funnier is Elida says I'm permanently banned from their online store "to protect me from further loss" till the year 2050. I've purchased tens of thousands of dollars from best buy over the years and never had this problem before. I would have been better off not even contacting bestbuy in the first place for help.

    I used Best Buy for 10+ years, but after my recent experience I would not do business with them again. I purchased a new home recently and bought all of my appliances from Best Buy in December 2023. Over 45 days later, I have had to deal with: multiple cancelled orders, delivery issues, and a damaged appliance. The appliance that was damaged (fridge) was taken back to their warehouse... I now have NO fridge and they can't even give me a solid date for a new one.

    Every time another issue pops up, the Best Buy "Customer Care Team" has shown a complete lack of care. I have been hung up on, transferred, and told conflicting/incorrect information more times than I can count. I have called into their support at least 10 times and easily spent 3+ hours stressing over this. What makes this even worse is that I bought the Best Buy Total membership last year and was promised a better experience. I spent $4500+ with them... But that means nothing to a billion-dollar corporation. I would not advise any major appliance purchases through Best Buy.

    Do not waste your time, money, or efforts with Best Buy or Geek Squad. We bought a washer and dryer with a five-year Geek Squad protection plan about two years ago. After the washer broke in December, we contacted Geek Squad for a repair and got a maintenance appointment scheduled. Took the day off work, waited around for someone to show up. Nobody ever did. That happened two more time. Dozens of phone calls only ever resulted in “escalating” our case. Finally, after weeks of no repair, Best Buy approved us for an exchange. Great news to us – we would finally have a working washer! Except, once again, nobody ever showed up to deliver it. More phone calls, more “escalation.”

    Without any answers, we went into our local store, tried to sort things out, and were told it was checked into the store and would be delivered that day. More good news! Except it still wasn’t delivered. We spoke with the delivery driver, turns out a new washer WAS NEVER EVEN ORDERED. The washer wasn’t delivered because it never existed in the first place. Unbelievable. Really seems Best Buy is a disorganized, poorly run company that can’t deliver on the goods that their customers paid for.

We call best buy installations and find out he was given the wrong starters so we order a new one through them with their installation, this time I get only one because I can’t afford two since the second one was more expensive.

    We go to return the car starters on 15th January and find out through the manager who spoke very rudely that the return date was 13th and we were two days late. Wrong product suggested by them and then they wouldn’t even give a store credit for a product that’s not opened and has been suggested wrongly through them.

    We have been customers for over a decade now. That includes my family, my brother's family and my mother, located in another state. We have especially liked Geek Squad to take care of my mother's electronics, since I cannot do that for her. On 1/4/2024 I had a very bad experience in their customer service. I had lost my keys and thought I might have left them in the Kalispell, Mt location. All I wanted to do is call that location to see if they were there. Come to find out you cannot call the local store. The call is routed to some call center, maybe in India. The phone tree is very complicated. The first question you are is asked, "What is your Best Buy account number." Frankly, I do not want a membership with Best Buy, like a Costco membership. If I was a new customer, I would hand up and do business elsewhere.

    The first call, after entering my membership number and choosing other issue than what was listed, their customer service person lied to me and said "the local store is busy waiting on customers and to call back in a few minutes. Next call, no membership information, other issue, I ask if he was in Kalispell, Mt. "Absolutely Not". Then he said he would have the local store call after he sent them a text message. I then received a text message-"Your phone number is opted-in for a one-time pre-callback." Are you kidding! I have to get authorized by some dude in a call center to have the local store call me back!

    Yes, about 6 hours later I received call from the Kalispell location. And no my keys were not there. When I arrived in Spokane, Wa from our visit with Mom in Kalispell, Mt. I talked with the Store Manager in the Spokane Valley Location about this complaint. He said that the Store Managers around the country are handling these type of complaints (local number that is routed to a call center, difficult phone tree, etc.) and reporting them to Corporate. Corporate is not responding and he not wasting his time anymore. This has been going on for 4 years now. I returned my previously purchased items and will be taking my business elsewhere.

    I spent over $25k on a home theater set up by Best Buy Sterling Magnolia. The initial set up was fine, but when the subwoofer had a problem I was extremely disappointed with their follow-up and customer service. First, I called the Geek Squad and had to pay $150 for them to just come visit and diagnose the problem. The technician then told me to bring it to the store to have it serviced as it was still under warranty. When I lugged the ~70lbs subwoofer to the store, they then proceeded to explain that due to their "internal process and liability issues" I needed to contact the manufacturer directly, ask for original packing materials/box, and do everything on my own.

    After spending $25k for the home theater and another $10k on a home wifi setup, I would have expected more in terms of clarity of process and also customer-focused attention once a problem occurred. I would not recommend Best Buy Sterling/Magnolia for any high-end customized setups. Fine if you buy a one-off product, but for expensive set-ups customer service and any follow-up post sale you are on your own...

    On 10/13/23 I bought a highly rated WIFI router and had Geek Squad come in for a home WIFI set up . On 10/20, the Geek Squad technician called me and told me that he recommends a different router and that he could bring it to the appt. I told him I would go with his recommendation as he is the expert. When he came, all he did is take router out of the box and connect to the modem and downloaded the router app. It took 5 minutes. I was left with a mess and had to connect all my devices to the new router. This is what I had wanted a set up not a delivery of a small device.

    I sent a detail complaint to the survey that Best Buy sent and asked for call back. I heard nothing back. I then went to Best Buy store two weeks later to returned the router that the technician had told me it was not for me. I waited by the Geek Squad counter to talk to someone who basically dismissed me after saying he couldn’t help and told me to call a number. I was very busy with work, so I called a few days later. I had to repeat my self as I was switched around. I was on the phone for 45 minutes and spoke to a customer agent by the name of “Saviana” in computer services Geek Squad, who said that I would I have to pay for a new service because it was 34 days ago and out of warranty, but mind you I have been trying to make this complaint and ask for help since the same day as the service. Not to mentioned that the service was never completed.

    I asked to be escalated to a supervisor. Saviana kept saying that the supervisor will say that they can’t do anything. I told her to please transfer me to a supervisor. She put on hold and then came back saying that her supervisor “Monica” said that she cannot help and will not get on the phone. So a customer service supervisor has the option of not providing customer service? Really? This has been a horrible experience.

    I have spent thousands of dollars at Best Buy over the past two decades. I have their credit card as well and have been a total tech member since they started that program and I just experienced the worst service ever. This included a terrible experience with customer service agent and with an incomplete set up. The router is providing less of signal than my former 8 year old router.

    We purchased a TCL TV from Best Buy in Morehead City, NC on October, 7th 2023. It completely quit on November 17, 2023. We called Best Buy and they connected us to TCL support. That was a joke. We did everything she asked of us to troubleshoot why it would not power on. After 40 minutes, she told us they would be emailing us and we would need to take a video of us troubleshooting it all again and send. First I have yet to see an email and 2nd I am not videoing us and sending it in. We called Best Buy back and they told us they would send a tech within 24/48 hours and to expect a call. We have not had a call, so Monday I went back to the store and they had no record of an appointment for anyone to come look. He made me another appointment and we are waiting. We have had the TV for 5 weeks and now it is sitting in my dining room floor.

    We purchased an extra warranty, which does not do us any good since the manufacturer will not call or email us back to repair or replace this junk. I was told if I had purchased the in home warranty for $179.99 I could have returned the TV within 60 days. Wow! What a steal! Also if I had waited until November, 1st to have purchased I would have a the holiday return window of 60-90 days. Wow! How nice!

    So bottom line is I have a 55” TCL TV in my floor the store will not take back. The 3 people I have spoken with at BB informed me TCL is a terrible company to deal with and I will probably not get any help and they are just sorry they cannot help me. So the moral of this story BB like all chains buys cheap junk and they sell for top dollar for their own gain, without any care or concern for the customer who is the one left sitting with a non working piece of junk. The employees are the ones left to deal with customers in these situations. They cannot help what junk they sell and I feel bad for them. I’m the one with $500 out of pocket, for junk from Best Buy, a TV in my dining room floor for Thanksgiving and a mad husband.

    Purchased 4 TVs in a span of 6 months (remodeled a few rooms in house) and all at different times and all complete garbage. RUN away from this brand if you are considering. I rarely go online to complain about any product but these TVs are complete garbage and anyone that bought should be entitled to full refund. Class action suit is in order with this brand. It's so bad.

    I took my computer in for repairs to the Geek Squad, at Best Buy, Cambie St, Vancouver, after a week, I was informed to pickup my computer as the repairs were complete, after picking up the computer, I noticed that no repairs were carried out, the computer has the same problems, Geek Squad is a scam organization, customers pay an annual fee for their service, their employees are village kids with no knowledge of computers, I will get in touch with HP, and inform them of the scam that is being supported by Best Buy, for that reason, they not have their phone number on the website.

    My recent Best Buy order, #**, took an unexpected turn when I received an ice pack instead of the Apple AirPod I had purchased. The ordeal began with a 30-minute call to Best Buy's customer service, directing me to return the package to UPS. After complying and waiting 15 days, the same package, now marked 'Best Buy Inspected,' was returned to me. Despite this, Best Buy refused to acknowledge it as their product when I attempted to return it in-store. Subsequent calls to customer service, lasting a total of 40 minutes, led to another directive to return the package to UPS.

    Today, the issue remains unresolved, leaving me dissatisfied with the lack of accountability, convoluted processes, and prolonged miscommunication. This experience has been a significant time-waster, testing my patience and trust in Best Buy's commitment to customer satisfaction. I hope my story serves as a warning, urging Best Buy to address these issues promptly.

    Our TV was misdelivered. The address on the order was correct but the phone number was off by one digit. The driver called that number and the person that answered gave the driver a different delivery address and now has the TV. The TV was delivered to a different state than what was on the order. We are waiting on a replacement. It has now been almost a month with no resolution.

    I purchased this phone for my elderly mom for the easy appearance of navigating the phone. We were both pleased with this phone until she came to visit me. When trying to connect her phone to my wifi we found out that this phone doesn't have that capability. After calling Lively support I was informed that none of their phones can use wifi. I did suggest that statement should be in a bold banner across their website. If we had known this I would never have purchased the phone. Yes, I was nice and told the young lady I know it isn't her fault however this should be noted. I realize there are apps available to resolve this issue, however that is not the point.

    I have been to Best Buy 3 times to see a tv I wish to purchase. Three of the tvs are always out. The first time I visited employee told me they were broke, second time they were not plugged in, but each time tried to steer me to sony tv that cost a lot more. 3rd time I went following a 3,500 dollar couch purchase next door at value city furniture I went to best buy ready to buy the tv but wanted to see it first and I assumed since I mentioned to employees and management on other two attempts that they should be available to view. This time they again were off as usual. Nobody was around or cared to come assist me.

    I found one female employee who was helpful but did not work that dept. She actually was able to turn tvs on so they were plugged in, and did work but had no feed to them. She told the home theater guy to come assist me when done with customer he was with. He finished with his customer, stood around for a few minutes then helped someone else casually talking and not looking over to say give me a sec but just ignoring my wife and I. I left and will not return. I will go to williamsburg, Virginia Beach, target, walmart or Amazon.

    Predatory practices by best buy I would like to trigger arbitration; I was falsely misled into a membership plan when I asked for a warranty for my TV. I was charged 199 for a one-year warranty, when in fact, the tv comes with a one-year warranty from the factory. This act was bait and switch, I am disgusted by what they did to a longtime customer, not only did you steal 200 dollars from me, but I also have no extended warranty now. You can check how much money I have spent at best buy over the years and note I always purchase an extended warranty on higher price products.

    I promise you I will never return to your stores in the future after this disgusting event. you guys should be ashamed of your shady membership warranties, you are deceiving customers into thinking they are buying a warranty, but if you read the disclaimer, it states that the members plan is not actually a warranty, and it makes no promises to cover anything. Please beware when shopping for a TV at BEST BUY, what I recommend is you BEST BUY SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! A VERY DISAPPOINTED LOYAL customer @Mosty.

    Best Buy's response to my malfunctioning devices was far from satisfactory. They not only declined to provide replacements but also refused a refund. The Geek Squad member I interacted with seemed completely lost, and the overall service was dismissive. About a year ago, I invested in a modem and router, along with a four-year protection plan. Despite spending $450 on these products and the protection plan, I was compelled to settle for a $450 gift card refund after only one year. This is a clear violation of what a protection plan should offer – I anticipated a genuine refund, not mere store credit. To make matters worse, there were no available replacements in any of their stores. In summary, it's best to steer clear of Best Buy and their "protection plans" to avoid disappointment. Their inability to deliver on their promises has cost them my loyalty, and I advise others to be cautious when dealing with their subpar service and questionable protection plans.

    I got a Citibank Visa to get payments on a washer & dryer set. They gave me a credit limit of $4000 for an $1800 purchase. This is good because of credit bureau bases your credit score on a percentage of credit used. Now I was late (8 days) on one payment that I paid in full and another that I also paid in full along with the following months' payments. They dropped my credit score by over 50% which lowered my credit score. This also put my account right at what I still owed a few dollars from being over limit. Then a second hit to my credit score from the same action of lowering my credit limits that offset my percentage threshold and lowered my credit score yet again.

    All this from a purchase that was interest free for year if paid that year. Then I used the card to buy some things and paid that amount off with my next payment. Well I thought I did. I was wrong. Instead they paid down my interest free loan and charged me interests on the remainder. Basically keeping my account over limit. This company has ruined my over 800 credit score and does not care one bit to correct. I paid off my card after this argument because I was using this to build my credit not because I didn't have the money. This company is very bad and I WOULD NOT RECCOMMEND ANYONE EVER DO BUSINESS WITH THEM IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM!!!

    This is probably my first negative review on anything ever. I purchased my iPhone 12 Pro through Best Buy and opted in for their protection plan. When I broke the back of my phone and went to Best Buy they directed me to Geek Squad to make a claim online, which I did and opted for the advanced replacement, which means they put the value of your phone plus about a $220 fee on your credit card so around $1700 in my case. Sounds fair one might think. I am so glad I didn’t opt to send in my phone as what they sent me back was not the equivalent of my phone. Instead they sent me the iPhone 12 Pro Max, which is way too big for my hands. They call it an upgrade, but if I wanted a bigger phone I probably would have bought one in the first place. It is also not a new phone, but instead it’s been refurbished and the screen appears slightly loose and makes a quiet clicking sound when tapped. So I have no idea whether it’ll last.

    Again, one might think fair enough, but a rebuilt iPhone Pro Max only retails for about $600 and after all the monthly protection I paid plus the $220ish to make this claim it seems like a total rip off. I would have been better off having had zero protection and had our local phone repair shop handle it. So I called to see what’s up with this and they basically said they send what they happen to have available. Hence the random upgrade. Speaking with their customer service it sounds like they would not exchange it unless it’s not functional so my only option seems to be to hope that I can convince them to take back the new phone and refund my service fee, but I would still end up getting the short end of the stick as I’ve paid all those monthly fees for the protection plan. Overall incredibly frustrating and time costly! I will 100% never buy a phone from Best Buy again.

The truck pulled up and the box came down, when opened the dryer was in pieces and dented. They put it back on truck. They told me someone would call me. I never got a phone call, I proceeded to call and was given a delivery date of 09/18/23. On that date I got a call from the installer telling me that he was coming to install the dryer. I asked him if he had the dryer and he said no he was just the installer. He never got to my house.

    I got a phone call from someone apologizing and was told I would get a call back with a new delivery date. That was it after multiple phone calls to them, I got nowhere. I went to the store where I purchased it and spoke with Danny the store manager, he said he would take care of it and send it up to Kelly who would get in contact with me. Two days later no Kelly so back we went to see Danny. Upon arrival and asking for him he comes out from the Back, saw my wife, turned around. Someone else came. Said that Danny was out to lunch at 4:00pm. He proceeded to cancel the order.

    I paid $1,326.35. Got refunded $937.24. Lost a few hundred dollars on an item that I never received. The salesperson was very nice but everything else was completely unacceptable. No way to run a business. So here I am scratching my head over losing a few hundred dollars on an item that I never got! Wow just left with a real bad taste in my mouth.

    I bought a house about 10 years ago. Being that it was previously owned, I knew I would have to replace my appliances eventually. I've replaced 7, all new items were purchased from Best Buy with their 5 years extended warranty. I've used it twice. First was a tv I bought. Sony 65", it was expensive but I thought the quality made up for the price. With in the first year I had Geek Squad over 5 times to repair it. The main control boards serial number didn't match the tv. They replaced the board after the 3rd time. Come to find out, I was told that the only way this could have happened is that the tv was used and not new like I had paid for. Long story short, called their corporate and they agreed to exchange it after 6 months of problems.

    Now I have a Bosch dishwasher. Would never buy Bosch again. A part blew off. So I called to have it repaired. They told me they had no record of the extended warranty. To save time I went to the store and got another copy. So 2nd call they agreed I had it, and scheduled an appointment. But it happened to be the day of a hurricane. We didn't get it, but understandable they didn't show up. What killed me was they never called or texted trying to reschedule. So I called again, set another appointment. Myself and my family all use the same account, that way we might get better pricing.

    When I talked to the girl on the 800 number (who spoke broken English) I explained this is for me in Florida at this address. Same as I did the first time. Don't use the other numbers, use this number in Florida that was also on the account. Well the day of the appointment they called Mass. number not mine. My sister not knowing it was my appointment ended up telling them it wasn't her. So they canceled the appointment, and texted me the cancellation number. I was very upset and called to find out what happened. I explained how it was set up, and why did they call her for the appointment and text me the cancellation. She explained that it was my info on the work order. Well if it was my name on the order why did you call another number. I don't know, I see why you're mad. Long story short, I have to wait another week to get it fixed, hopefully. Fingers crossed they don't screw it up again.

The employee who assisted other people saw me there but walked in the opposite direction. He even stopped and asked a gentleman there if he needed help. I proceeded to leave feeling humiliated.

    I had the Geek Squad protection plan. I returned a replacement phone I paid $200 in store. The phone arrived via mail. I returned via mail due to I purchased a phone someone else. Per instructions once they received phone the 200 would be back on my credit card. They never refunded me. 12 phone calls. No one could help me. Even a supervisor stated he could not process a refund. He verified they received the phone. I was originally told to wait 30 days (one billing cycle) and the money would be back on my card. The supervisor stated it is past one billing cycle and he transferred me back to customer service.

    Ordered washer/dryer parts and install through Best Buy after I ran into trouble installing the washer/dryer I had bought from them. The 3rd party truck was scheduled to come, but apparently broke down. The 3rd party company then treated it as if we had not been there for the delivery and told us they would have to reschedule for the following week. We requested a refund. The Best Buy customer service told us we could not get a refund at the moment, because of the way they rescheduled this order and we would need to wait until the item was not in transit. We were told to call at different times when the item would no longer be considered in transit.

    We have tried 7 different times to call in when they have suggested it would no longer be in transit and nothing has been done. No amount of talking to supervisors or requesting someone who can fix it in the system has helped. I am going to just dispute this charge with my credit card company at this point. I'm positive that the way they cancelled by classifying it as if we weren't there and the in transit status is a workaround that the customer service/3rd party company use to not get in trouble with whoever monitors this for Best Buy.

    I went to a great deal of time and trouble to find out if the Geek Squad could fix what seemed to me a simple problem on my old iMac. I talked at length to a customer service tech-help rep before she recommended taking the heavy desktop machine to Best Buy in a nearby town. She set up the appt for me. I had to place it in a wagon, go down 4 floors in an elevator to a parking garage, heave the computer into the car (I am 75), fold up the wagon and heave that into the car. I arrived in time for my appointment, went through the reverse challenge to get the computer into the store. There was no one at the desk, except for another customer. I heaved the desktop by myself onto the counter.

    Someone finally came out, waited on the other customer, and then asked me the problem. I told him that the computer was working fine before I tried to upgrade to a new operating system, and I needed a fix in order to continue to use it. I told him that I had just had a new hard drive installed. He sneered at the computer and said that it was too old and that they would not work on it. I asked if the hard drive could be removed to use with a newer computer. He said yes. Then he looked at his watch. So I asked him to please take the hard drive out so that I could view it with the Mac mini that I had at home.

    Realizing that he was not going to sell me a new computer, he said, “No.” when I asked why, his eyes darted and he said “there are open circuits in there and I’m not going to ask my technicians to risk being electrocuted.” I want to spare other consumers the time and effort of taking devices there for repairs or simple jobs. This “service” is not set up for consumers.

    I had The WORST experience with the Best Buy Geek Squad "Auto Renewal" process. All of a sudden the auto renewed yearly fee shows up on your Best Buy Credit Card without any prior notification or any ability to cancel it within their "timeframe" of 30 days or 60 days, who knows what that is because I received two different answers when I called.

    When I called the Best Buy Credit Card company to dispute the charge they pushed me over to the Geek Squad membership phone number and I was told after a lengthy conversation twice, that I would receive the full credit back to my card, and only received a partial credit of the $199, still owing a fee of $55.19. I called twice again about the remaining $55.19 and was told it would be credited back to my Best Buy Credit Card and it wasn't and called again and the story then changed to no, I would not be getting the $55.19 back! Not only do they lie, they steal your money, they change their policies and procedures to suit their ability to keep your money. IT IS A TOTAL SHAM - Do not buy into the membership, it is worthless!!! I have cancelled my Best Buy Credit Cards and will NEVER buy another item from them or recommend that anyone else does either.

    I explained I was 70 years old and was on Social Security and desperately needed the fan. I was told that Best Buy's Policy is that the item is returned and THEN the refund will be processed in 14-28 days (billing cycle) in order to receive a refund in order to purchase a new fan. I, like many other elderly folk on just SSI, are suffering from the heat, with NO Air Conditioning. I feel that Best Buy is not customer friendly and is UNCARING of the Elderly.

    I bought a carpet shampooer from Best Buy a few months ago and it already doesn't work correctly. I paid $70 for a Geek Squad Warranty. The shampoo works, but not the suction, so leaves my floor wet. They didn't have the same model anymore, and tried to give me store credit. A "comparable" model, had a much smaller tank, was going to cost me the store credit they gave me, plus $65 more, for a much smaller water tank. I had the same issue with my Airfrier from Best Buy, bought the Geek Squad Protection, they couldn't replace it, only models available far more expensive. Do they make money, every time, someone tries to use their warranty? Basically, they don't outsource repairs, and are limited to even what Geek Squad is willing to repair. So, "Go spend lots more of your money here please." Should be their welcome.

    UNACCEPTABLE SERVICES BY BEST BUY: July 17th, Monday at 7:38 am, FGO Logistics, the delivery company, contacted me to let me know that the delivery truck had arrived at my building. The crew used the intercom, which rang my cell phone. Unfortunately, they had my old number on file, even though the manifest specified to call/use my new number. I was out walking my dog, but I explained that I would be there momentarily. I met with the delivery crew and they opened the back of the truck to show me the item. One of the guys said that they need to take measurements and went up to my apartment. He checked the old refrigerator by opening it and moving it out of the enclosure. I told him that I will empty it while they bring up the new refrigerator. He asked me to turn off the water and put my dog away. I also moved furniture out of the way right in front of the guy.

    Emptying the old fridge took 10 minutes. I then waited for 20 minutes and decided to go back downstairs. To my surprise, the truck was gone. I called Best Buy Customer Service right away and spoke to 3 agents (I was transferred 3 times) before finally the line got disconnected. I tried to use online chat to no avail. Finally, after 5 attempts, I was able to get information about the delivery company FGO Logistics. I tried calling FGO Logistics, but the customer service representative I spoke with was very rude and unhelpful. She told me that I needed to contact Best Buy because you are the ones responsible for the delivery.

    I was confused about why the delivery truck was gone without warning or explanation. Even if they thought that the old refrigerator was not prepared, they could have told me this and I would completely understand and accept my fault for not being ready. The guy I was dealing with barely exchanged any words with me ( I am guessing language barrier). However, I think, this delivery crew had no intention to complete the delivery, even after I was told to empty the old refrigerator, to shut down the water (I even moved the furniture and the delivery guys saw me doing it)

    Additionally, my last, 6th call, yesterday to Customer Service ended up with a promise that the delivery will be done by the Geek Squad on Wednesday at 315pm. No confirmation email or text message to confirm the scheduled delivery ever came. Today (Tuesday), July 18th, I called again to find out that there is no delivery scheduled for Wednesday and that the delivery is now scheduled to come on Saturday. In total disbelief and shock, I decided to go to the store and cancel the purchase altogether (which I did).

    Two days of the nightmare of dealing with such unprofessionalism and total disregard. I waited a whole week for the new refrigerator because the old one is not working properly, only to face the challenge and in the end, we had to cancel the purchase. This time we experienced the WORSE customer service and delivery services. In my opinion, FGO Logistics is the major problem and you need to replace this vendor with someone more responsible and reliable. Otherwise, you will continue losing customers.

    More like WorstBuy.com. Unfortunately, my last engagement with this company is going to be leaving a really bad review. I never write reviews, and although for effectiveness, I should've called the company out on LinkedIn to make it a trending post, I am sparing them that wrath. The company is on a failing path. My terrible experience with them, and as it seems thousands of other customers, were all opportunities the company could've done something to improve. But there is zero appetite for customer satisfaction. What happens to companies down on this path is that they kick themselves out of the market.

    Long story short: I ordered a smart watch as a birthday present for an important person in my life. The order got delayed (by 8 days), and won't make it on time. I called the customer service three times asking them to trouble shoot and make a timely delay happen. Their only solution was a resend that was going to show up after the birthday had passed. I accepted, BUT I demanded $50 Best Buy gift card for failing to deliver on their promise / service. For me the $50 is not even worth the time or energy to call or ask and frankly I don't even care about the money, but it matters to me that somebody should take responsibility for their failure, and I just wanted to test the length to which Best Buy was willing to go to help an unhappy customer. Turns out: zero.

    I reasoned with three different sales representatives to think of this penalty as a service to your company because if somebody doesn't pay for these transaction failures, eventually you will turn into a company where delivering unhappiness instead of happiness to customers becomes common, and before long, you lose them all. If Best Buy employees are used to treating customer dissatisfaction as if it never happened, or with a generic "I am so sorry for the inconvenience," then eventually there won't be many people left to say sorry to. On that note, bye Best Buy! Here are my parting notes: you could've, simply, not overpromised on your ability to do 2-days shipping. Just don't say something you can't deliver on. Btw, three of your representatives told me to file a complaint with FedEx. Just when did I enter into a business agreement with FedEx? I ordered the watch from YOU!

    Do not buy anything that BestBuy needs to install! We bought an expensive range from BestBuy and when they finally delivered it we unfortunately had a terrible experience with the installation. The technician who came to our home to install the range had no clue what he was doing and kept calling "papi" on Facetime to guide him. I asked him to disconnect the 20-year-old gas line and put in a new one I had purchased, as BestBuy requires a new gas line and is city code to use a new line on new installations. He was unable to disconnect the old gas line but got it loose enough to cause a leak, which he did not check for before leaving. After he left and we were able to arrange the mess left behind, I turned the line on and immediately smelled gas.

    I've been calling Best Buy for a week now and they say there is nothing they can do at the moment and they will schedule a review for next week, almost 10 days after the initial installation. It is clear that Best Buy does not care if their installers mess up or if a consumer has a gas leak. I'm not a plumber, nor do I have the tools to fix this myself. Moreover If I do anything on this installation, Best Buy will void the warranty. So we are at the mercy of this company that clearly does not care about the safety of their clients. All we are asking for is to have a specialized technician come to our home and either fix the leak or install a new line which is a 20 minute job, at most. But Best Buy cannot accommodate for that. We are just not important enough for them.

Install virus protection app which syncs on all three devices), 2. Copy all passwords in McAfee True Key into Google Password Manager (also make it so Google passwords syncs onto all three devices), Erase McAfee and True Key. 3. Install Google One back and get all three devices to backing up then uninstall I Drive.

    Tech then told me that to do all this I would need to buy a service contract for $199.00 but then with that a $69.00 Web Root program would be reduced to $29.99 from $69.00. Total bill $225.92. At first Tech continued to wait on customers coming to the counter while I sat at an adjoining table with my 3 devices. I finally told her that if she wasn't going to work on my stuff then to give me a refund (Oops. can't issue refunds). She agreed to work on mine and ignore the people coming to the counter (she was alone although there appeared to be people in the back area.

    Long story short, of my list I have Web Root installed, Goggle One is backing up only Google files on the phone and the tablet, nothing on the laptop. password manager was not synced nor were passwords transferred, McAfee was still installed with all my passwords and when I attempted to transfer passwords to Google by myself I lost them all. I Drive was still active. In other words I basically paid $200 to have someone install Web Root. Buyer beware, the Geek Squad of old ain't no more.

    Best Buy used to be a very trusted business but not anymore! Total Tech cares nothing about getting anything accomplished. For TWO DAYS I worked with them because my printer would not work with my computer. 15 hours total and not any better. They just stop the job. Don't call you or let you know anything. When you call back you have to go through the entire ordeal again. I finally looked for myself only to find it could have taken them 5 mins, took me 30 minutes to find out my printer is OUTDATED for a newer computer and no available drivers. I called to let them know after all this to at least clean up my computer for the mess they made out of that. While on hold a lady offered for me to buy another printer. Guessed it was a good idea. She promised I could buy one, the technician would be out the next day, install it and remove the old one.

    Had a reason to call them later in the day ONLY to find out well "sorry" the seller didn't know what she was doing. I spent another 4 hours trying to get it resolved in less than a 2 week installation. Funny my older iPad still prints to the computer but not my up to date computer. Total tech should have known immediately what the problem was but instead they sucked the life out of me. Just having back surgery not long ago and having to sit for 15 hours in front of my computer, not get anything accomplished, have to call them again and for what? It is against the law these days via FTC to remove reviews. IF you look at their reviews most of them go back to 2020! So how would one know what they are getting into when they want to know if it is a reliable source.

    Buyer beware when purchasing the "Protection Plan". The salesman will tell you products can be exchanged but are lying through their teeth. Say you pay for a product for $199. In one year's time you try to redeem on the purchased exchange plan. All they will do is give you back your money paid instead of the exchange. Makes no sense when products increase in price. You've lost both on the cost of the plan plus the difference between what you paid and what the product costs now. In my case, a loss of over $100.

    Best Buy Geek Squad intake phone workers repeatedly verbally abused me over a period of one + years. When I tried to cancel my membership following a heart attack in Fall 2022, they told me I legally could not cancel my membership & had to continue paying them. I sent a registered letter to the president, asking for a refund of monthly fees as compensation for ongoing verbal abuse. He never answered me & passed the buck to Erik, who completely ignored my concerns about verbal abuse & my request for a fee refund as compensation. This company is full of crooks, from the president on down to their phone geek squad. They should be monitored by government agents so they cannot harm innocent trusting people. Do NOT open yourself to this harm. Do not enter into a contract with them. They do NOT care about you, only filling their pockets with everyone's money!!!

    I went to Best Buy per instructions from Tmobile and another carrier I am trying to transfer to. I walked in and greeted the front door guy, told him what I needed. He asked me, in what seemed like a snarky tone, asked if I had an appointment. I said no, that I was unaware of needing an appointment and that the carriers didn't mention needing an appointment. This Manager at the front door, proceeded to snarkily respond that 'he wished the carriers wouldn't do that', I laughed and suggested maybe someone should tell the carriers to inform customers.

    The manager proceeded to get more snarky with me that 'it's not their responsibility to inform the carriers and that customers should be aware that an appointment is required', he didn't even offer to schedule an appointment. I ended up getting a very nice associate, Nick, to help me and set up an appointment for later in the evening. People like the Manager should not be front door hosts or managers. People like Nick make much better choices when speaking to customers.

    I had pre-ordered a game a couple years ago. On launch day, Best Buy emails me to let me know they don't have a copy for me. I decided to try them again for Hogwarts. If you preorder Deluxe edition, you get access to the game 3 days early. Today is the 3rd day, and Best Buy doesn't have the game. Unlike other retailers, they somehow allow customers to order more stock than they are allotted. The best they can do is say they hope to have it after the early access period is over. I'd love to support a brick-and-mortar store, but Best Buy just can't deliver.

    Extremely Dangerous to buy from Best Buy. It can off shoot and they can charge you without delivering the product and claim that they have delivered. My experience with Best buy has been horrible and they just made me suffer to get a refund after they misplaced my order and kept me hanging by committing that they will refund but at the end did not refund my 900.99 USD. I lost this money for free because of their unethical false claims of delivery of the order. They talk softly with customer but they don't shy away from tricking you and loot you when they mismanage shipments. They tied up with FedEx which is another company who have no value towards customers. I would suggest not to buy on this platform. Once trouble catches you they will dump you and they won't care about the customers. Please have some shame on the cheap tricks that you play with your customers!!

    I purchased hearing aids over $600 from Best Buy online. When I recieved the hearing aids, they did not do what the description stated so I called Best Buy. They sent me a return label and I promptly sent them back (within 1 week). Their website states that hearing aids are refundable up to 90 days. I recieved an email stating they received my return. MONTHS later, my credit card is charged for the hearing aids. I contact Discover Card (who did nothing for me). They said Best Buy returned them to me. I contacted Best Buy, they said hearing aids are not returnable. I provided them documentation from their website stating they were. Then Best Buy said they returned them to me, but I did not receive any email, phone call, tracking number or any notification that they were returning them to me.

    We leave for the winter and if we do not know a package is coming we cannot make arrangements. Needless to say we did not received the package. It was winter and I am sure it was covered in snow or blew away. Best Buy will not own up to their responsibility and refund my money. It is a lot of money for a veteran and I am over 80 years old.

When the appliances were delivered and installed the men started the washer and dryer on a short test cycle and left. The washing machine shut off after 10 minutes, however, the dryer never shut off. It cycled on for 5 seconds and off for 10 seconds. So I immediately called the store and my call was forwarded to appliance customer service. Two and a half hours later and six customer service reps and not one person could help with this problem. No one even suggested that I pull the plug!!! I went back to the store the next day and told them to pick up the machines, I'd rather be without a washer and dryer for a while than depend on Best Buy appliance service.

They were in and out in 15 minutes and THEY STOLE OUR EXISTING PEDESTAL! They took my belongings out and dumped them on the floor! Then, they tried to lie about it. They tried to say we told them to take it and approved it which is not true. they put our new machine on the floor! Then they told us we could have it back if we came and picked it up from their warehouse across town.

    Best Buy no longer answers there on the phone. You cannot reach anybody in the store or even in the United States! I have had more than a dozen calls and hours on the phone with no resolution. No supervisor, no manager available ever. I’ve had so many calls because they keep hanging up on me! Horrible horrible customer service. They get your money and then they don’t care.

    THE NEW WASHER DOESN’T EVEN WORK! Best Buy is willing to have it repaired or changed out but only on their schedule. They don’t care that we are without a washer and they gave us a faulty product. They don’t care that we paid $1000. They don’t care that their vendor stole from us! The store tells us that we have to go through the 800 number that they have no ability to assist.

Once the item was sold, they don't have any interest to assist the customers and will be sending you to the manufacturer, while the manufacturer will be sending you back to Best Buy.

This is a “BAIT AND SWITCH” scheme if I ever heard of one. That's all a person needs is someone using their credit card a year from the original date.

    I called BEST BUY to cancel the deduction that would take place on my Debit Card in one year. I was told that they would have to cancel the whole subscription and I could not take my computer in to be repaired during the one year period. I canceled the subscription and told them I was going to complain to some consumer protection agency. The person then said I would receive an email canceling my subscription which I have gotten. ON 12/21/2022 I had a person from the Best Buy/Geek squad call me because I wrote a nasty review of their service. The gist of the story is that this person tried to tell me that I was mistaken.

I bought a MacBook Air on 11/18/22 at Best Buy online store, it came with a BIG hole in the box, wasn't with ANY kind of protection between the box and the MacBook case, thinking about security, decided to request replacement. I contacted Best Buy on online chat, did STEP BY STEP WITH THEM ON CHAT, and scheduled a UPS pickup. UPS picked it up on 11/25/22 (Friday), the replaced product was supposed to come until 11/29/22 (Tuesday).

    On Tuesday, none actualization in tracking by UPS, by status order on Best Buy account or even some news on my email. It was taking too long, so I contacted UPS, they told me my package was declared LOST and the best I could do was contact Best Buy. I called Best Buy customer service, and they told me my product would be available in 1 day. On the next day, nothing. Waited 2-3 days more, nothing. Called customer service again, then they told me my product would be available IN the day that I called.

    At the end of the day, nothing. When I say nothing, I mean literally nothing, not even some e-mail. At my Best Buy orders, I selected support options and changed to delivery (on some call before this, I asked for pickup at the store, because it was having TOO MANY problems with deliveries), then the delivery date was tomorrow. Tomorrow has passed. I called several times to Best Buy customer service, and they always told me that my product would be available that day, or the next day, which means that they were lying to me all the time. On 12/7/22 I called Best Buy customer service and requested a refund. Best Buy told me as my product was lost by UPS on the picking up, they will start a process of investigation of the package and in 24h-48h I would be receiving an email with all details of this process. I didn't receive anything.

    On 12/13/22 I went to a Best Buy store (5001 Northern Blvd, Queens, NY 11101), which treated me a horrible way, the manager did not even want to talk with me, avoiding contact, just told me that I must treat my subject with the online store, and he won't do anything.

    DO NOT BUY TOTALTECH. YOU WOULD BE WASTING MONEY. Today I spent 4hrs with BB customer support chatting. At the end, my refrigerator order was canceled - without my consent, I was charged with delivery charges for washer and dryer (after refrigerator cancelled delivery charges were added) and as of now no solution provided. And I was promised to get a call back from the supervisor/Manager within 2-3hrs and so far I have not received any call. Way to go BB. Being a total tech member if I was treated this way just imagine the normal customer.

    When I ordered the refrigerator during black Friday it had BOGO offer and the advertised BOGO refrigerator was out of stock. When I saw the BOGO refrigerator back in stock and reached out to BB support to get that added to my already existing order and after 5 agents changed during my chat session someone told me that they can add the BOGO refrigerator only after canceling the original order. I was still confirming about the delivery date for the new order (if we decide to go ahead with that option) and all of sudden Agent changed. Meanwhile, we received an email with refrigerator cancellation (shocked).

    After that, we got another shock when we saw delivery charges were added to the same order for the washer and dryer delivery. When I informed the agent, they promised that it will be resolved and they have escalated the issue to supervisor and I would get a call from supervisor or manager (still haven't received any call).

    Please understand that we have responsibilities as well. I spent 4hrs with BB customer support team today and no reason provided in why my refrigerator order was cancelled nor why delivery charges were added. Instead of getting a BB advertised BOGO refrigerator now I ended up with cancelled refrigerator order for my new home. This is the worst ever experience I had with BB. And I regret for paying for this kind of experience. Why do you advertise something which can't provide? It's amazing that as soon as Black Friday offer is gone BOGO refrigerator back in stock.

Best Buy auto re-scheduled my delivery to 10/5/22 so with nowhere to put my food I lost all of it on 9/28. Called customer service they did absolutely nothing turned in my food spoilage info was told that because I cancelled my order I wouldn’t be reimbursed at all. I wrote to BBB they sent it to Best Buy and I get nothing so I’m out all the food I lost, the stress/anxiety this caused to me and Best Buy could care less what they did to a Customer since 2012.

    The customer service is non-existent. They lost a loyal customer because it’s all about the bottom line & Best Buy corporate or otherwise could care less about its customers. I called for week and then after 3 weeks after turning in my reimbursement form I was told since I canceled my order a week later I was told I wouldn’t be reimbursed for the food spoilage that happened on 9/28/22. To add insult to injury I was still getting mags that it would be delivered on 9/28/22 and instead of getting a call I got an auto reschedule email. The food was lost the first day so Best Buy needs to send me the money for the food I lost that I turned in so I can put back what I lost.

    My claim number is #** and my order wasn’t canceled until a week later as I went through someone else who offered me a loaner which Best Buy didn’t. The other company I went with has excellent customer service and bent over backwards to ensure I had a fridge/freezer to put food in whereas Best Buy could care less and I had to spend money I didn’t have and eat out and I couldn’t purchase food to cook at home as I had nowhere to store perishable items.

    All I want is to be reimbursed for my food going bad and for the stress/anxiety Beat Buy caused me. I’ve heard nothing still with BBB sending my complaint to them all I get is the silent treatment and ignored. They boast about having good customer service but from where I sit there is none. But Best Buy has the money to remodel their stores but refuse to address & take care of their customers. Maybe instead of remodeling maybe Best Buy should learn and be taught all the way to corporate what customer service is and how the customer is always right and do right by the customer. All I want is to be reimbursed for the food I lost on 9/28/22. I have the email I sent to the Best Buy reimbursement also.

    Be careful when purchasing Game cards at Best Buy. If you don't receive an activation code on your receipt or at your email you lost your money because it's not returnable exchangeable and they will not even try to resend your activation code. The manager named Ryan at the Bestbuy in Philadelphia S Columbus blvd is a racist manager. He spoke to me like I was a thief in front of like 20 customers. I spend too much money at Bestbuy to steal 21.59. I am at this store every week buying my Autistic son his game cards. I was so humiliated and embarrassed the way this manager spoke to me. Then when I was leaving he attended another customer and was talking about me. He said, "Her fat ** better keep going out that door." what type of manager is that to talk in front of others?

    I really don't know how he became a manager. Maybe it was an inside job that he knew someone. My point is be extremely, extremely cautious when purchasing cards from BestBuy. You will end up with no card and no money. There is nothing that can be done. I am an honest person and I wouldn't want anyone to go through what I did. I'm talking from experience of what happened to me. Thank you

    I purchased a digital download of office 2021 home and student from Best Buy on 11/25 and was told they had sent me the information to download the program. I never received this email and had to wait on the phone for over 20 minutes to finally get someone to send me the email. Once I got the email, I tried to download the program with the product key provided to me by best buy only to see that the only country region for this key was Russia. I then got online with microsoft for almost an hour only to be told that the key was only good for Russia and that Best Buy was committing a fraud against me because I didn't buy from Microsoft. Called Best Buy back no less than 5 times to be hung up on 3 times and told that I couldn't return this item but they would do me a one time favor and refund me the money. Couldn't get another key or anything. They wouldn't even let me speak to a supervisor after asking repeatedly.

    I was disrespected and made to feel like an idiot. The ineptness of their customer care is beyond belief. All this after spending over 1400.00 at Best Buy on 11/25 alone. All I wanted was another product key. They suggested I purchase another one from them.... LOL Like I was gonna do that again. Told I couldn't return a product even though what they gave me I couldn't use. It's not like I did something causing this product to not work. I really don't understand what is going on with this corporations these days. They just do not care how they treat their customers. All it is about is money.... I will look to see if I get the refund and in a timely manner. Be very careful when buying a digital download from Best Buy, you just don't know what you will get.

    Purchased a cell phone from Best Buy, called initially to verify I could get the upgrade price and not the 'bring your own phone' plan price. I was told I could the lower pricing but had to go into the store to retrieve it. Once in the store it was confirmed I could get that price but then was charged the higher price which I didn't noticed before leaving. Called them back and they refused to refund the difference. Then then eight days later I see online that they have the same phone on sale with the same lower price for both, activation and non-activated pricing.

    I then called them up to get the $70.00 difference and they told me I was in a blackout window until the end of the month because of the holiday. I will try one last time in my 15 day return window but I think this is enough! Anytime I go into Best Buy I have to go online with my phone to verify somebody else doesn't have it cheaper so they will match the price. I am so tired of these games from brick-and-mortar stores. Amazon will be getting all of my business from this point on I'm sorry to say that. Shop local, is beginning to be a joke.

    My husband and I recently started a real estate business. Excited at the opportunity to get things up and running with our LLC, we established credit and invested in a new property out of state. We needed security cameras for our investment and decided to go with Ring. We attempted to purchase directly from Ring without success, then Amazon and several other retailers. Our search led us to BestBuy.com where we found exactly what we needed, in just the right style and color. We purchased the cameras online (early October) with our business credit card but, to our dismay, we received a text message and an email stating that they had canceled the order.

    We reached out to Best Buy customer service and were notified that they canceled the order due to the billing address differing from the shipping address. They flagged our credit card as fraudulent, as a result, and supposedly a team at Best Buy was investigating the matter. We contacted our credit card company (who accepted and approved the charge before Best Buy canceled the transaction) and there was no issue with the transaction on their end. After not hearing back from Best Buy for a week, we contacted their customer service department and were basically told that our options were to use another credit card or to go into the store and purchase the item and have it shipped. We attempted these options (on Oct 31st) and they all ended in cancelations. There has to be some remedy for this issue, especially in this modern era.

    10/27, 6 PM, our delivery and install window was 7 AM to 1 PM. Received no call about it being later in the day. Knock at the door around 4:30 PM today. It was the installer. They replaced the old with the new. Did a good job. Microwave is in good working order. It's been a road but is finally resolved. Still haven't received a follow up call from Best Buy.

    Original Review: Oct. 27, 2022

    Update 10/27: Well I guess third time is not a charm. Received a call from the installer on 10/26 at 5 pm and he asked if we had the microwave. I said no. He said he'd check on it and get back to me. Never called me again. 10/27 came and went and no call from anyone. Wow! What a terrible company Best Buy has turned into. And as far as the three representatives from Best Buy are concerned (Eduardo **, Justin ** and William **), they never reached out again after my initial email. Instead, they made this my problem. No credit, no microwave and no install. I think three chances to get it right is more than adequate. Good solid customer service right there. I will never buy anything from Best Buy again.

    Scheduled a Samsung over the range microwave install on 10/6. I ordered it on 9/30. 10/6 from 9-1 pm came and went. Called at Best Buy at 3:30 pm on 10/6 to find out what happened to be told to call the next day. Install company called me at 4:30 pm on 10/6 and we rescheduled for 10/11 between 9-1 pm again. 10/11 came and went again. Called Best Buy on 10/11 around 2:30 pm and after waiting on hold for 25 minutes while the CSR called the install company, the call disconnected and not returned. I called back once again and this really nice CSR said I will be contacted by a supervisor. She was actually more fed up than I was.

    Eduardo ** called and apologized. He said they would give me a $50 credit and take care of rescheduling the install with a different company. After three days went by neither happened. I rescheduled the install myself through the app. I sent a detailed email to Eduardo ** and copied Justin ** and William ** and as Eduardo instructed. I never received a response back and seemed like I was ghosted by all three. How about that award winning customer service? It’s just too bad. I’ve been using Best Buy since the 90s and never seen such awful customer service. We will see how the install goes on 10/27. Maybe third time is a charm.

The item never arrived but eventually the driver marked it as delivered even though it was not here.

    Now 3 weeks later the item shows up the delivery driver apologise and said sorry he didn't have time to drop it off last time. he was in the area and forgot it in his van but had to mark it as delivered so he could end his shift that day. I have already gone out and bought the same item from Newegg because this never showed up. Now that I got the item here and the driver wouldn't let me reject the delivery I ask bestbuy to accept the unopened item back and refund me they refused saying it's past the short 15 day refund timeframe even though I just got the item yesterday.

    Bestbuy support told me drive all the way to the store to return it which I already did spending $15 in gas and they rejected the turn then I spend hours again chatting bestbuy support and he tells me I should try and drive to another store and see if they will accept it back. Basically this bestbuy support wants to give me the run around at my expense spending money and time driving to get told the same thing the bestbuy store manager said they cannot refund after 15 days its store policy and also that I need to return it where I bought it which is online so if this is store policy then what makes this bestbuy support guy think that the next store 45 mins away is going to all the sudden break this store policy and say yes sure return it.

I am going to try to make this as short as possible as I am sure everyone is busy but I don't want this to happen to anyone else. On September 22nd I ordered a MacBook Pro for one of my new employees. That day I left the office and around 6:30PM I received an email saying the item had been delivered. I was very surprised as our office closes at 5PM and usually there is nobody there at that time.

    The following day I came in and asked everyone in the office for the box and as suspected nobody had received/signed for the delivery. On Monday September 26 I called Best Buy and one of the reps opened up a claim which was later on that day declined for refund/replacement after their "investigation", I then called again and once again they opened another claim which again got denied. I called again and they asked me to call ShipIt, the delivery vendor hired and contracted by Best Buy and try to place a claim with them, they immediately cut me off when I called saying it was Best Buy's responsibility to handle my case.

    I called Best Buy again and I had a representative help me and process a replacement for in store pick up, they told me the following day would be ready for pick up...so the following day I went in to the store to pick up and I was advised there was a hold on the order and therefore they couldn't release the computer to me and that I must contact customer service for the hold to be released.

    I have been calling Best Buy for the past week 2-3 times per day to try to get the hold released spending so many hours on the phone, having representatives tell me it will be solved in 24-48 hours and today I received an email saying the order had been cancelled and after investigation no refund/replacement was approved. I have been asking for the proof of signature of whom "supposedly" signed for the package and neither Best Buy or Ship It want to provide.

    I spoke to a very disrespectful representative today after receiving the cancellation email who told me I had to call ShipIt again to place a claim with them, I asked her to call Shipit with me on the line and she said she was not authorized to speak to Shipit (I did not purchase an item from ship it, I purchased from Best Buy and believe Best Buy should be liable for my package).

    I am only giving Best Buy one star because I cannot write a review if I don't give them at least one. They deserve none! I recently called Best Buy's "customer service" line for help with products I bought there (a washer and dryer). The customer service rep said she would need to get a supervisor on the line to help me as my question was outside of her ability to help. She put a "supervisor" on the line who identified herself as "Rasheda." Rasheda was very condescending and rude. It took me back just a little at first, and when her behavior continued to escalate, I asked her if she would transfer me to another agent. She did not transfer me and continued to be rude. When I questioned her as to why she was treating me in that manner, she hung up the phone on me.

    I figured it was probably better she had done that, and I just called Best Buy back, hoping to get another agent. The next agent I got was both nice and professional, and he helped me with my product. While I was on the phone with him, an "unknown" number kept dialing in on the other line. The number called me about 5 times while I was on the phone with the new Best Buy agent. When I hung up the phone with him, the unknown number dialed again. Because the number was so persistent, I answered, thinking it might be something important. As soon as I answered, the woman on the other end identified herself as "Rasheda" from Best Buy, and she immediately began cursing me. I was so shocked I hung up the phone.

    Rasheda immediately called me back, telling me, "I am calling you from my personal phone, and it is blocked so you cannot block my number." Rasheda then called me several curse names. I again hung up. Rasheda called back immediately and threatened me. She reminded me she had my information from Best Buy's data base. She had my name, my phone number, my address, my mother's address (my mother is 80, and I have assisted her with her Best Buy account, and our accounts are linked), and Rasheda told me she had my Best Buy credit card number. She told me she planned to make my life miserable (only that was not the word she used.)

    I immediately called Best Buy back and reported Rasheda's behavior to the representative on the phone. He put me on hold while he called a manager in the customer service center. While this was going on, Rasheda continued to call my phone, and as soon as the voicemail answered, she hung up and called right back. I told the rep on the phone from Best Buy that his customer service agent was calling me the whole time I was talking to him. He told me he would have the manager call me back as soon as the manager was free. While waiting for the manager's call back, Rasheda continued to call me. She continued to curse me and threaten me, telling me she was going to come to my house and hurt me (beat both me and my mother). I ended up recording Rasheda with my husband's phone when she called the next time, and I played that recording from my husband's phone when the Best Buy rep finally called me back.

    Ultimately, Best Buy did NOTHING. They told me Rasheda was most likely "contracted," and there was nothing they could do. I asked for the situation to be escalated. I explained I was now afraid, especially since Rasheda had all my contact information and my addresses, and she was threating me. When Best Buy STILL refused to do anything, I told them I wanted to file a police report. I called police in the town where their home office was, and the police officer went to the home office and tried to take a report. Best Buy REFUSED to name the employee, even to police, and refused to help.

    Over the next few months, Rasheda continued to call my cellphone and threaten me. I have received 187 calls from her (and still continue to receive calls). The only thing I can do is change my number, which I do not want to do since I have had the same phone number for 25 years. I live in fear every day that this Rasheda person will snap even further and travel to my home, as she has threatened to do multiple times. Best Buy completely stone-walled me and refused to control (let alone, discipline) their employee. This is the most egregious thing I have EVER had to deal with, and Best Buy is responsible!!!! (Pictures of phone logs confirming these calls can be provided.)

    I ordered an Sony Xperia 1 IV through Best Buy and it was supposed to come with WF-1000XM4 wireless headphones. The phone arrived but the headphones did not because the guy who placed my order in the store forgot to put the bundle. I tried going to the manager AND Best Buy Support but both of them say that they can't do anything because the "window for the promo had ended" and that "they can't give away the item for free" even though it's supposed to come with it through the pre-order.

    Well no duh, because the promo purposefully ends right before the phone is supposed to come out, and the phone ended up getting delayed twice regardless. (Promo ended 8/29/2022, Phone originally was slated for 09/01/2022 but eventually got delayed to 09/22/2022.) So I ended up refunding the phone as the promo was one of the only reasons why I went through the Best Buy, all because they cared more about a $300 item they were SUPPOSED to give me than me returning a $1600 phone. Thanks for nothing, I'm ordering it through B&H now as they're still honoring the promo.

    I paid Best Buy for installation of my Projector which they scheduled for Sept 2. Some Best Buy people came out on Sept 2 and said the job was not scheduled right so they could not complete the job. Then it got rescheduled for Sept 15. On Sept 15 I received a call saying that it was scheduled wrong again so they rescheduled it for today, Sept 19 from noon to 5pm. At 3:30, no one from Best Buy had shown up and I had not received any call from Best Buy notifying me of the time that they would arrive.

    I called Best Buy support to find out about the service call and I was transferred around to a few different support people and waited on hold with each transfer. When l finally spoke to a customer support person, he told me that he could not do anything for me. I looked at my account online and I saw that Best Buy has this installation listed as "Completed". Unbelievable! I told the support person that the installation was never completed, it was cancelled on me 3 separate times. I insisted that he contact the installation team find out what happened with the installation that I had scheduled today. He said he could not transfer me.

    I asked him to give me to someone who could help me. He said he would have "leadership" at Best Buy Minnetonka call me in 2-4 hours. I asked for a name and/or phone number of the person that was supposed to call me in 2-4hours as so far Best Buy had not been reliable at all. He would not give me any name or number of the person who would contact me. I asked who I should call if I don't receive a call in 2-4hours. He mumbled something imperceptible and never gave me an answer.

    I asked the support person to at least send me an email of this conversation so I could have some confirmation of my discussion regarding this service call that kept getting cancelled. He did not send me any email of this support call. It is now 5 hours since the call with Best Buy support and I have not heard from "leadership" at Best Buy Minnetonka. It is just unbelievable how horrible Best Buy/Geek Squad's customer service has been with this service call.

    Every time I bought from you to deliver to my house, the delivery fails, or Best Buy pays the shipping very cheaply, or you have to change the delivery method. Best Buy company needs, keep up with Global growth, Best Buy has stopped in time.

    I ordered a tv from Bestbuy.com, selected a delivery date, tv was delayed was told tv would be there by the next selected delivery date. It was delayed again. Tried multiple times to reach a resolution to my issue with customer service, even went to a Best Buy store in Douglasville GA to see if I could get some kind of discount on a comparable model that they had in stock ready for pickup that same day, was told they would not help me at all that I could cancel my order and it could take up to 30 days to get my money back then I could place a new order. Customer service from the entire company is very poor. I canceled my order and will probably never order from Best Buy again

    Wanted to share my experience to help inform others. Purchased this product brand new online and it arrived with multiple dents throughout the body of the unit. At the time of delivery, the damage was readily visible and I pointed it out to the delivery personnel, who informed me that they could not place the item back on the truck until Best Buy's customer service dept. processed a return. I immediately sent Best Buy pictures of the damage via Twitter DM and followed up with a phone call. The customer service representative told me he could not process an exchange for at least 24 hours because the item has not been marked as delivered in their system.

    Called back the next day, and re-explained the entire situation to 3 different customer services representatives. I was told that they would not be able to process a return for over a month and my only recourse was to keep the item for a partial refund or wait over a month for a replacement. The dishwasher was installed and immediately started pouring water from a hole located underneath one of the biggest dents on the unit causing significant property damage. I have spent close to 7 hours on hold with multiple customer service reps as this unit sits in my kitchen continuing to leak, causing damage to the floors and cabinets. I have been hung up on multiple times by customer service reps. that do not want to transfer customers to a supervisor and have been told that they have no means of providing a replacement for over a month.

    I recommend purchasing a different unit from a different retailer because Best Buy does not value your time, your home, or your well-being. This has absolutely been the most abhorrent customer service experience I have ever had and will be my last purchase from Best Buy. I plan to inform my network to avoid them as well. In regards to the unit, it is hard to say if the level of damage it sustained was due to manufacturer or retailer incompetence but in either case, I would avoid both.

    Lashauna called me nasty with a rude attitude, hung up on me and canceled my appointment when I questioned why she was canceling my appointment. Call was on speaker phone and Store associate happened to hear the entire conversation. When Ally answered the call she said appointment is canceled. When I questioned the idea of scheduling a time and leaving me a message to confirm and that I was simply calling back to say I am available, Ally got quite upset and punted me over to Lashauna.

    Lashauna had a different story and said appointment was not canceled because it was not scheduled to begin with and they are booked for two weeks. Said Best Buy doesn't know what they are doing and they have no idea of availability. She continues to yell and tell me not to speak over her. I waited for her to finish talking and said, "If you are done, I would like to speak now," and that is when she said, "I will not listen to you, you had a bad, nasty attitude and I am hanging," and she did. Patrick and Austin at the local store said they will take care of this. Proceeded to make another appointment and promised a resolution. When I called the customer service line at (888)257-8289, Jerome in the Philippines answered the call after a 45 minute wait and said, "I assure you I will escalate this to my senior managers and call you back."

    I have never attempted to use my warranty from Best Buy for repairs but once I did, I was told there is only one repair company contracted with Best buy (AIG). Not sure if AIG is the parent company to this Peninsula Appliance repair but I will be sure to write and re-write this review everywhere as I did not in any way do anything to be reprimanded and refused service and called names by this company who surely makes a ton of money off of Best Buy and I am here to make sure this will be made right.

    Criticizing my life is very simple in many aspects, I risk little and I have power over those who offer their work and their service in my faithful opinion, sometimes the critic risks something new, the world is usually cruel with new products, what again you need customers, this product fascinated me, I will be happy to buy from you again.

    Three times I made appointments to get the battery changed on my iPhone while I waited. I confirmed appointments and promised they would do service while I waited. All three times when I showed up at the scheduled times, they said I would have to leave phone overnight. Absolutely no concern whatever that they had promised to do while I waited. I will have to take it to an Apple store I guess. Best Buy are liars and incompetent.

    Bought a TV open box from Best Buy. Condition was labeled as excellent. Was non-functional when I opened it at home. Returned it same day. They told me a computer issue prevented them from refunding me right away. They took TV and after 2 visits to their store, cancelled the order and refunded my credit card. Days later they charged my card for the TV that was already returned. Disputed with CC company and was told Best Buy provided proof that I purchased the TV. Now I have a $3,000 charge on my credit card that is fraudulent and they will not answer my emails or phone calls. Filed a claim with BBB and it's been weeks with no resolution. Best Buy just up and stole $3,000 from me. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM. They are thieves and have ZERO customer service. They tell you it'll all be fine, but then charge you after they refund the money for a TV they took back.

    After years of purchasing my electronics from Best Buy, I am never going to buy from them again. Best Buy uses a 3rd party delivery company and will not help you when your item is not delivered. Purchased a Samsung fridge which ended up being defective. Called Best Buy for a replacement within 48 hours of receiving the item. Was told they would deliver the new fridge today, Aug. 23, 2022, between 12 pm and 6 pm. Had to take a half-day off of work, only to have the 3rd party delivery company unilaterally cancel the delivery. Unbelievable! They claim they didn’t have a ramp to unload the fridge. What nonsense! How did they put the fridge in the truck in the first place? How did they make their other deliveries?

    I lost a half-day of pay and no one at Best Buy cares. They charged my credit card for the fridge ($1800), gave me a defective model, my food has spoiled, and I lost money from not being at work, yet they will not let me talk to a supervisor or manager. I have no idea when I will receive a working fridge which is unacceptable. I would not trust them to deliver anything to you.

    I bought a Samsung - 28 cu. Ft. Large Capacity 3-Door French Door Refrigerator on April 1st. It was to be delivered to my home in Round Rock, TX on May 2nd. Upon delivery, it was found that the door handle to the freezer was the incorrect size and would not fit on my fridge. The delivery man said they would get an order placed ASAP to have a new door handle delivered to me. In June after I still hadn't heard from the company, I called in and was told no order was ever placed. I then attempted to place the order with the Online Support Team, who said they couldn't assist so I had to call in and place the order. I called in and was told they couldn't assist and I would have to go to the store. I went to the store, even though it was entirely inconvenient, and the Supervisor placed the order for me.

    The following week I received a call to "confirm delivery" to my old Nebraska address. I told them that was incorrect and they said due to my "new address" the delivery wouldn't be until July. July comes around and I was told the refrigerator was back ordered and it wouldn't be delivered until Aug 1st. The day before it was to be delivered I was told "Oh it actually isn't in our warehouse yet, the soonest we could get to you is Aug 24th but we PROMISE you will get it then". They also informed me "You're lucky you called when you did because your 90 day warranty is about to expire!" I told them I have yet to receive my actual product that I paid for and it was extremely unprofessional to make that remark.

    It is now Aug 23rd and I was just told today that "Oh no, it's not in our warehouse again and the earliest we can get it to you is Sept 16th". My fridge was delivered on the 2nd of May. It has already been almost 4 MONTHS and I will still be waiting another 3 WEEKS to receive a door handle so I can access my freezer. This is entirely unacceptable and unprofessional behavior.

    Purchased a stove, a week later they delivered the wrong stove. Two weeks of phone calls of, "We're looking into it." A visit to the store a week later they deliver the same wrong stove AGAIN!! Call customer service for the 7th time, "we will look into it." First-person said do not use the stove, so I have been with one since the 9th. It's now the 23rd!

    I have a protection plan on my washer. My washer developed 2 leaks and after Best Buy sent 2 repair men out 3 different times which I had to take off work for, they said the washer needed to be replaced. The last repair man came out 3 weeks ago and after talking to someone at Best Buy no less than 10 times and getting the run around, I still do not have a washer. I haven't had a washer for 2 1/2 months. I keep being told that someone at Best Buy will call me in 24 hrs but they never call.
