    I'm a total tech member, well I was, and the kid at the station said he pulled up my acct to match printer ink but didn't and sold me the wrong one $89. When I went to EXCHANGE for the correct one I was told to basically suck it. I'm not rich and asked for manager MARSHALL. HE TOLD ME TO SUCK IT BASICALLY AND IT'S NOT THEIR JOB TO GET MY INK. Ok. So I got upset, not loud and rude, but upset. So he says he's not taking my upset behavior and has me escorted out like a criminal. Because of THEIR ERROR. HIS BEHAVIOR WAS UNPROFESSIONAL AND RUDE AND I WILL NOT EVER SHOP THERE AGAIN.

    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. Just horrible. SMH.

    If you are Elderly EXPECT to be mistreated. Best Buy Customer Phone Service: I am in tears about how I, as a 70 year old woman, was treated on the phone. I had ordered a fan to be delivered to my home due to the Heat Factor in my part of the State of California. The Box was literally torn in Half, pieces of the Fan Grill was falling out of the box. I have the VIDEO!. The UPS Delivery Person was very apologetic and I stated I could NOT accept a Broken Fan. I called Best Buy Customer Service. I stated the situation, gave her the Order number, the tracking Number, and was then told I would have to wait 14-28 days.

    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 stated as much and again was told it is Best Buy's Policy. Do NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM BEST BUY IF YOU ARE ELDERLY, YOU WILL NOT BE TREATED WELL.

    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.

We were more less called liars by the chat rep, and told to file a police report?! Are you kidding me?

    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.

    3/27/2023. 1:30 PM; Had an appointment with Geek Squad for help with my three devices, an HP laptop, Samsung Note 20 -5g and a Samsung tablet. Presented Tech person with a list. 1. 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. You are far better off going to one of the many independent repair places.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    We purchased a washer and dryer from Best Buy. The Sales Associate was knowledgeable and very helpful. 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!!!

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.

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. On the same date, I called Best Buy customer service and the attendant told me that I would be receiving the package on the next day and the tracking code by email on the day.

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. So are you cheating?

    How would I rate Best Buy if I could I would put no stars. On 9/28/22 I was to have my fridge delivered and that morning my fridge stopped working. 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 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.

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.

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.

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!!!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I a ** 65 year old veteran took a ** 75 year old veteran to Best Buy in Hawthorne to buy a smart tv. The very pushy sell man took the older senior away from the tv I was showing for $199 simple to a very complicated $499 32" tv that's very hard to set up and connect. Also sold an extra cable not needed. After trying to set up and having screws missing, the tv never came on being stuck on #3 set up. So taking back to the store for assistance, the employee instead of being helpful automatically start saying, "You don't know how to work the remote." DA. S my friend jokingly said we couldn't find the screws.

    The employee pull the screws from somewhere saying the screws was in the bag which I know for sure they wasn't. Then this Spanish or ** guy went on and on how I don't know how to work the remote and I don't know what I'm doing. I said, "That's why we drove all the way back." Remember instead of sell the ** senior a regular television they sold a very complicated tv to a 75 year old senior. After he kept insisting I was to dumb to work a remote and me insisting I have 2 smart televisions and know how to work them. He constantly kept degrading me with very disrespectfully comment to me. His job is to help us with our problem not magnify them and not make fun of them. He get paid to solve customers' problem. I guess not ** Senior Veterans. Not being insulting over and over again.

    My PTSD fight or flight kick in. Being threaten with very threatening insults now my survival instincts kick in which now come very dangerous for him, me and all that are present. Both behaviors is unacceptable by me and the customers in store. He should have treated us like any other customers in store instead of his racist rant against 2 ** VIETNAM SENIORS VETERAN. So my advice to ** customers if you notice your tv or computer not working it's probably intentional. Worst customer service ever and a very dangerous store to enter because then I was surrounded by my other employee instead of talk to their coworker and removing him or calm situation instead tells me to quiet down.

    What a horrible experience. About me, I am a 70 y/o disabled veteran, stroke survivor, and retired systems Engineering exec. I am too old for this drama. 1 August: I placed the order, it was to be delivered on August 4. 4 August: No delivery or message so I called BestBuy (BB) and was told "they created a shipping label, we can't do anything now, if you want a refund, wait for the delivery and send back". 5 August: Still waiting, no update from BB, per UPS tracking: "Shipper created a label, UPS has not received the package yet. Tue, Aug 02, 11:10 a.m. SHEPHERDSVILLE, KY". Called BB and spoke to an agent who said "it shows Aug 8 estimated delivery date". 8 August: No delivery and no update from BB or UPS.

    4:52 PM - We made an in-store visit: the system was showing that the order had been delivered which explains why the credit card charge posted on 8/3/2022. In-store agent (ISA) called BB-Kentucky to check status handed me the phone, they asked me to give the phone back to the ISA. She talked to them for a while, in the meantime we asked for a manager, she merely verified that the ISA has done everything appropriately and that there was nothing more that she could do. Eventually the ISA handed me the phone and informed me that I was on hold and that it might be a long wait. I decided after waiting another 10 minutes that I would go home and call the 888 number that the ISA gave me tomorrow.

    5:19 PM - We left the store. 9:38 PM - I receive an email "Your package is running a bit behind. UPS let us know that your package is now estimated to arrive on 8/08/22" [my note: it's already 9:38 PM on 8/08/22; really!!!!]. 10:08 PM - another email update "Your package is running a bit behind. UPS let us know that your package is now estimated to arrive on 8/09/22." 9 August: 12:38 PM - UPS delivered the system, 5 days late, yay! BUT: I was disappointed to find a cheap wired mouse and keyboard, Macally products not Apple. BB, you can do better. The system was configured with the HDD as the primary and SSD as storage. Ideally, the SSD should be the primary, i.e., have the OS and apps installed for faster access and boot up. It took 9 hours to switch and install all updates/upgrades.

    Warranty conflict: Best Buy says in product specifications: Warranty Manufacturer's Warranty - Parts 1 year, Manufacturer's Warranty - Labor 1 year Apple says per Apple product coverage: iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017), Repairs and Service Coverage: Expired. "Our records indicate that your product isn’t covered under Apple’s Limited Warranty or an AppleCare product for hardware repairs and service based on the estimated expiration date.

    One positive, the product so far seems to be in excellent condition. One visible minor scratch (corrected 8/14). However, I am more concerned about the performance, functionality, and reliability. Time will determine this! I am not impressed with the COI at this point. Apple products are NOT worth the extra cost. The retina display only shines when the content is 4k/5k and maybe if I do my Web design on the iMac, otherwise it's just another display with hi-res! Best Buy you have let me down with the way you have handled this order. I am a longtime customer and now a former fan with 2 accounts. Amazon will be my go-to for online orders, sorry.

    They couldn't fix the stove they sold us, so they promised a gift card as a refund. It's been almost three months and they still haven't sent the card. They continually apologize and promise to send the card right away, but they don't. After a month of failed email attempts to send the card, one rep told me that they mailed the GC and for me to wait 2-4 weeks.

    Two weeks later, another rep confirmed it was mailed out and asked that I wait the full 4 weeks. 4 weeks later, the next rep said that there's no record of anything being mailed to me. All of that was after their excuse that they had an incorrect email in the system, though I have received emails from them for other purchases just fine, so clearly they had my correct email address. It's just one lie after another. Meanwhile, our stove has been broken for three months and with no means to replace it.

    I purchased a refrigerator and set up a delivery date. My window was between 7 am and 1 pm. At 11:45, I received a call that their delivery truck had broken down and they would not be able to deliver it until one week later. I told them that I took the day off work to accommodate their delivery and insisted that they follow through with their promise of today. They told me that they tried to call me yesterday and left a message. I did not receive a message and I can't help wondering just when the truck broke down. If the truck broke down yesterday, they had a whole day to make arrangements and fulfill their promise. They suggested I call the manager, which I did. He told me there was no record of the truck breaking down. He further told me that he could make a request to get the delivery to me today but could make no promise.

    When I explained my missed wages he offered a $50 gift card to compensate. I refused but told him 4-$50 gift cards and compensation for my lost groceries might satisfy me. He refused. I shared another experience. I had delivery issues with them when I purchased a washer and dryer. A guy delivered it to my driveway and wanted to leave 2 pallets for me to contend with. I refused the delivery and had to fight with the driver to take it back. I had to call the police before he loaded them back on his truck. I called the manager then too. I explained that I set up a delivery with installation included. I further explained that I had no way of getting the units to my basement and if they were not installed by them, my warranty is null and void. Telling him of my previous experience did not prompt him to find a way to satisfy me. I canceled my order and went to Menards' site where I purchased the same model and will be receiving it tomorrow.

    This company employs liars and complacent employees with no concept of keeping promises and no idea about customer satisfaction. I have been in the customer service industry for 5 decades and I have never treated anyone with such disrespect. I expect a "can-do" attitude when spending my money with a company.

I explained this is day 15 of returns as stated on their policy. She replied that it's day 16 as the day picked up is considered day one. I guess that Best Buy considers the day to start when they open. When I tried to explain I was still by their reasoning within day 15 the manager wouldn't hear of it. I walked out and contacted the manufacturer who told me Best Buy should have replaced the item. The manufacturer has since replaced the unit.

    I purchased a computer, TV and in-home installation of the TV on May 25th with a service date of August 4th from Best Buy. On August 2nd I saw that the computer was reduced by Best Buy by $110. I called to ask that they honor their store's price match for the computer as it even shows the original price with the reduction on their computer on 8/2. This lady placed me on hold three times, consistently telling me that she could not see the computer's new price. I was frustrated so told her to cancel the order (and I would just buy it again at the reduced price). She failed to warn me that cancelling one item cancelled everything else in that order. She only told me AFTER the in-home appointment was cancelled that she had cancelled my in-home appointment.

    I waited over 2 months for this appointment and told her that the store needed to honor it. She told me that she could not do that, so I asked for a manager. She put me on hold 2 more times, apologized repeatedly and told me she would reschedule it. She kept avoiding allowing me to speak to a manager, but after 15 minutes she finally transferred me to a manager. The manager stated that she could not honor the original appointment but would reschedule it.

    Meanwhile I was on hold so long that I had gotten into my car and had driven to a Best Buy store. So I hung up on the phone support and spoke to the store manager. She showed me the screen that shows that the service was not cancelled. So this morning I got up at 7am for the scheduled appointment (7a-1pm window). I called Best Buy customer support at 8am and was assured that the appointment for in-home service was there for today. At 12:20 I just called again and was told that the service had indeed been cancelled by the customer support lady that has caused me so many problems. The one whose manager refused to correct the error caused by her employee.

    I bought a new 85 inch flat screen TV and November of 2001. The TV stopped working the screen went blank, I contacted the Geek Squad which is part of Best Buy. They proceeded to come out a week later and told me that the screen was bad and they had to order a replacement screen. They said it would take two weeks to get the new screen. I contacted Best Buy and said I had an extended warranty for two years on this TV and the TV was not even a year old and they should just replace it. They told me the screen cost less than replacing this TV so they had to replace the screen. Two weeks later they came with a new screen. Upon attaching it and checking it the screen had a crack in it and the text at that time told me this is common with these TV's that they usually get a couple of bad ones every now and then.

    I proceeded to try to call the store but you can't contact your store you get an 800 number that goes to some kind of center that answers all the calls. After that I tried writing a letter to the CEO telling them that I felt they should replace the TV and that nobody is working with me and I can't even contact the store on the phone. They told me at this point wait tell the screen gets replaced for the second time and we'll see what happens after that. Two weeks later they came with a new screen. At this time they never even got in the house and told me that they took it out-of-the-box and they could see there was a big crack on the TV. They told me I needed to wait again till they got a new TV. They said that Samsung would not cover the TV and they needed to get another replacement.

    So now I'm waiting for the third screen to come and finally after writing letters and trying to contact the company and nobody would get back to me I finally had them come out and this time the screen was good and they replaced it. This is the TV in my main room. It's the TV that we use all the time and we didn't have the TV for over a month because of all this nonsense and the company really doesn't care about the customer at all. Every time that I try to contact the CEO I found out that this all the emails go to a center that handles all the complaints.

    Be aware of Best Buy located at 8350 S Orange Blossom Trl. We are all aware that Florida is a glorious attraction area, but, unfortunately, It hosts many employees of big-name companies whom I discovered are highly skilled in deceiving and scamming clients to get rewarded and some incentives. This advice for all international travelers, more specifically, the Canadians, even if you think USA best buy offers a better deal than Canada, it is not worth it. You should not purchase anything from best buy USA if you are not an American resident.

    Here is my personal experience: A) Bestbuy trained scamming sales Agents; I visited Orlando on December 26, 2021, and the above best buy store on December 28, 2021. I just wanted to see, What they could have different from Canada. I liked the displayed Samsung Z Fold 3, 5G. A lady agent approached me to show me how good this device was. I was interested, but I told her I was going to Canada in two days and would buy it from there to get the advantage of Canadian local extended coverage. Somehow she convinced me, best buy is the same in the USA, Canada and Mexico, and if I buy coverage in the USA, it will be valid in Canada too. A week after I arrived in Canada, I started to have troubles with the so-called Z fold, to name a few; the battery dies in two hours, so instead of having my iPhone in my pocket before, I now have to have the Z fold in one pocket, and a power bank in the other.

    The Z fold in your pocket became too hot, to the point where you get hurt, so you have to take it out and hold it in your hand; a few minutes after, your hand gets hot, then you keep switching from pocket to hand, then to the other hand and after, to the other pocket. The screen turns on and off by itself. You get a call and hear the ring tone. However, no way to know who is calling or how to accept or decline a call; side buttons are useless even when you set them up correctly. Disasterous if you are in a meeting, non-persistent screen touch response, Keyboard lags while typing, improper display of websites on both screens, same application listed twice, message, phone, mail twice, and so on, no visual voice mail or Wifi calling, like my previous iPhone if you call or received a call, you can not hear the other side.

    The other side can not listen to you, so you have to turn on the speakers in public. I bought Samsung earbuds, which are also glitchy and useless, so not using them anymore. Samsung member app offers are only available for USA residents. If you are not, you still see the promotion, but no way to get it. You have to provide a USA address and not a Canadian address. And there is a lot more. I never contacted BestBuy. Instead, I got Samsung customer service several times, and all that they do is access your phone remotely, play with the settings, and tell you nothing wrong, but you are the one who uses the phone and knows there is a problem. Most recently, I was holding the phone in my hand and got very hot, to the point I let it go, fell and now has a scratch and indentation at the edge of the frame. It's only seven months old.

    Z Fold looks nice and can be a great piece of art if tested well before throwing it on the market. I remembered I purchased extra coverage from Bestbuy. As Samsung customer service is useless, I decided to contact Bestbuy Canada. I learned from them that Bestbuy USA and CA are not one company, as the sales agent told me in Orlando when she convinced me to buy the Z fold with the extended protection and coverage in the USA. Here the big shock comes into place.

    B) Best buy USA customer service: Yesterday, I contacted them to initiate a claim process about the battery, the software malfunctioning, the speakers and the recent physical damage; I spoke to 9-10 agents, the most unprofessional, inexperienced, rude people I ever encountered. I spent 30 minutes every time I talked to them, though the first agent was typing while I was talking. She told me, I documented your case, and any best buy agent can get access to it. First, she apologized because I was misled by being told that best buy in USA and Canada are the same. She confirmed the incorrect information and offered me to bring the phone to a USA-based Bestbuy store, which was not practical. My counter offer was to get it checked in Canada. Then she transferred the call to another agent who might help.

    Additional 10-15 minutes of waiting resulted in (how can I help you). Politely I said, can you see your colleague's notes? His shocking answer was that (there were no notes). After extra 30 minutes of explanation, he transferred the call to the other ghosty correct department. I requested that his notes be accessible so I would not have to re-explain myself. I call that (the kick-out transfer); he put me back on the main menu. After pressing different numbers, end up with a feminine voice (How can I help you?). NON Insane person would say (not again, you are the third one?), her reply matched my tone, (Can you hold please) and bang, hang up. I decided that should be enough for yesterday.

    After I woke up this morning, I was looking for another exciting story. I decided to try the miserable journey again; hopefully, someone can help. I attempted several calls; the first agent gave me an ID number and transferred me to Bestbuy CA, and this magic ID should take care of things. Bestbuy CA had no clues about what was going on. All the numbers on the invoice, including plan ID, SKU number, and Customer service PIN, beside the magic ID number, led them to nowhere. They asked me to call Bestbuy USA and ask them for a global coverage ID.

    Back to the USA, another agent, sure it is easy, hold for a minute, and I will provide you with the global coverage ID. The pen on my right hand, and the left has a piece of paper. ROBO? No please, I can not argue with you. Regardless, she was the most sociable and direct to the point (would you like to receive the link by SMS or email? I could not say give it to me now, and I had to choose one.) I picked up a SMS, clicked the link, and the page opened, info entered, sent the confirmation to my email, copied and pasted the confirmation, and the page agreed to open its door. WOW, finally??. Nothing there except my face reflected on the screen.

    Another call to Bestbuy USA should not hurt more. This call was different. Why? Well, I met the least professional, the experienced rudest, and the less trained creature for the first time in my life. After 30 minutes, Loudly, he said, sir, the phone system is failing; I can not hear you, call us back if the call dropped; and another bang. I decided to call Bestbuy Canada, the people who respect people, the honest agents, the ones who are willing to help, as help runs in the Canadian blood. He listened patiently, escalated the case, and will try to contact Samsung on my behalf, as I am still within the one-year manufacture warranty. Confirmation email to prove he was telling the truth. Glad my day ends with a Canadian customer service agent.

    Despite a $100-$200 annual fee for 24/7 tech support, it proves impossible to get what Best Buy calls a simple PC "tune up." This occurs repeatedly because: waiting time to chat with a remote agent can be interminable; should a customer need to speak with an agent who is handling such remote work, the agent's English is likely to be terrible; and, more often than not, a remote tech support session is ended only part way through--the job incomplete. That is because the agent either disconnects or claims "technical difficulties."

    I ordered a Bosch - 800 Series dishwasher over a month ago. It was listed as in stock. For some reason I could not schedule an appointment for delivery but, Best Buy repeatedly sent reminders to do so. Every time I called, a representative told me that somebody would get back to me in 24-48 hours to schedule an appointment. At some point, Best Buy representatives started telling it me it was out of stock, and they did not know when it would be in stock. After a month, I decided to see if it were truly out of stock and so checked a store in a more populated area. It was available for pick-up in 1 hour. Not out of stock at all!

    To recap, I bought an expensive item from Best Buy where I've been a customer for at least 15 years. They lied to me about the stock status and strung me along for over a month. Then, when I confronted them, call center representatives and chat representatives still tried to tell me it was out of stock. One admitted it was in stock elsewhere--just not near me.

    I ordered an ‘in stock’ fridge in March, with a delivery date two weeks later in March. I called the verify prior to purchase the estimated delivery date, because we needed a new fridge rather quickly. The day of scheduled delivery, after no one showed up in the time frame, I called Best Buy, to which they told me the appliance was out of stock and would not be coming today. I was very annoyed as I sat around off work waiting, when they could and should have reached out to let me know ahead of time. Anyway, second delivery gets scheduled, for July, and I’m told a manager will call me back to send us a gift card for the inconvenience.

    Well, July rolls around, and once again, I’m left waiting for a delivery that never comes. I called again and explained this happened before, and the customer service rep won’t let me speak with a managing supervisor. I was on hold over an hour. I specifically ordered this appliance because it said in stock, and I verified it was in stock prior to ordering. Not only have we been months without this rather expensive appliance coming in, but it’s impossible to get answers from calling. I’m extremely disappointed in Best Buy, and hopefully this review saves you a ton of wasted time and annoyance.

    I called the store looking to speak with someone with some product knowledge for guidance/advice on selecting an electronic product purchase. Best Buy no longer allows people to call the store directly. The only way to receive product guidance is to go into a store (I live hours from a store) or chat with someone over their website. This is extremely disappointing. It should be common practice to have people available to chat on the phone regarding products. I have specific needs and am finding shopping through so many options very overwhelming and chatting with a sales associate with some knowledge would save me a huge amount of stress.

    I am a returning Best Buy customer of many years and a member of Geek Squad. I am also legally blind. I had a simple question – when returning an old computer for recycling, could Best Buy remove the hard drive for me? I called the 866 number, listened through the menus, and got to the point where I was being transferred to customer service. Which took me back to the original menu. Over and over. So I tried the local store (Vancouver) number and got the same menus and again rather than the transfer going through to customer service, I was recycled back to the first menu again.

    I selected a variety of menu options repeatedly, but every single one referred me to the website or chat line. Because I am legally blind, I can't see to use chat line – I need to speak to a real human being. But customer service was impossible to access. (One option I chose just produced a dial tone so I had to start all over again.) Best Buy needs to get enlightened, as most companies are. Visually challenged people may spend as much (or even more) at Best Buy, but usually cannot use chat line or website info and need to speak to someone. We deserve respect, too. After more than 3/4 hour I reached a real person by going to the products return option. She answered my question in mere seconds.

    *** RISK TO SAFETY OF FAMILY/FIRE HAZARD INSTALL*** First off, our sales rep was amazing but the contractor assigned for the installation has caused major damage to our house. Recently had an oven installed and it did not go well. The oven smoked up the house, the contractor left paper attached to the oven, damaged the wall, and shoddy wirework. The installation is a fire hazard and not up to code. The contactor damaged the stovetop and oven. They are a fire hazard until electrical and drywall are repaired. The unit was damaged upon installation. The contractor wired it incorrectly and the oven smoked and popped. He pulled out the oven and redid the wires but the damage had been done. He said BestBuy will cover the replacement.

    How could he leave the job knowing this could be a fire hazard? It's infuriating to think the house could have burnt down because of the faulty installation. The unit is on backorder until July. We (a family of 4) need to figure out how to make meals while we wait for repairs and the replacements. To file a claim we have to process with Sedgwick Claims Management Services, which has been a nightmare. It took a week calling multiple times a day to get contacted. I did eventually get an email but be ready to deal with a slow process. I am awaiting a response and would like to work toward a resolution.

    Ok I'm going to first start off by saying this company has no integrity or moral ground. I purchased a note 20 brand new and purchased a full warranty in total cost me over $1250. You get a 14 day return period we all hope we never have to do but unfortunately I did within day 2. I started having trouble with my phone, tried returning my phone only to be denied 100 times. I have receipt and box and all well within my return period. I've tried to call only to get sent in circles literally and denied any access to a corporate level, and when I visit the store security is immediately called upon me for being a dissatisfied customer only wanting what she rightfully paid for.

    I've contacted my service provider and changed Sims 3 times ruling out any fault on their end and then continued with Samsung, again to get sent in circles hung up on or left waiting in chat for them to never return. At some period in the first week my phone pops up with a screen that gives instructions, as confused and soon gaining worry I left it alone not knowing what it was. Turns out it's a "customRom" that had been pre installed.

    After all these chain of events and repeated attempts to resolve this issue I find that now my home security and Amazon account had been severely breached taking over my whole security system. Someone has been remotely hacking my phone. This custom rom has left me wide open to intruders and now in 3 dif countries my names being used. July 4th 2021 I finally got a dif location of Best Buy to replace my phone. Being it was near closing I was asked to come back next day, I did. They reassured me they were going to take care of me as my tears ran down my face for finally finding someone to help me. I came back only when I came back I immediately noticed his attitude was not as friendly. He takes my phone and said they have no more note 20's in stocks but have an s21 ultra. I said ok but then seen him open the box and it had a label saying "open box ".

    To be certain I explained to him I was not taking an open box. He assured me it had not been a return. I told him no it needs to be a brand new phone as I paid for and you will not use my warranty. He argued with me and I felt this was my only choice and hoped he was telling the truth that it was not a return. So he sits there doing stuff on my phone for over an hr, I remind him to give my SD card back, write a note on receipt as a reminder. As he finished he was redoing the receipt to reflect the s21 but he never returned the $200 difference I was owed. He used my insurance without my consent and telling him no and still charged me additional $20 and never returned my sd card, they literally stole from me.

    This phone immediately had same issues and I tried to return it very next day and asked for my sd card, they said it phone been sent out and no sd card and no return, I Said them you can pay me for the cost of sd card and they ignored me and called security. Again I leave and I call, they then tell me they will not help me and that I'm the one who did this to my phone and here we are a year later still fighting to get my money back, get my identity back and no one from this place will do anything and I have full legal right to do so under their policy so now if I can't a reduction and if I have to Hire a lawyer you can bet your top dollar I'm coming for them and it's not going to be pretty, this company will sink if it's the very last thing I do.

    This company is a disgrace to the American citizens that they prey upon and then some. Save yourselves the irreversible damage that this company causes and stay with your cell provider for purchase, go through the manufacturer for computer or phone purchases. Let this company sink hard. How dare they treat anyone with such disrespect who is just a consumer who needed a phone and put their trust in the absolute worst company of all time!

    The stuff of nightmares. On Feb 16, 2022, I bought a phone (Samsung - Galaxy S22 Ultra 256GB) that supposedly included a $200 Promotional E-Gift Card sent to my email address. Long story short, the confirmation email never came—nor did the actual gift card. I have since then changed email addresses, tried to reconfirm, called Best Buy multiple times, chat with them, went to a physical store, etc., and nothing, zero, nada.

    Here is the story of my calls to Best Buy (888) 237-8289. All calls in central time:

    • The first time I called on 03/21/2022 ~3:53 pm, I was lied to by the operator who told me that the gift card was applied to the balance (it wasn't) and that there was nothing they could do. She tried to convince me I paid $200 less while I had my credit card statement with me. Unreal. Then she transferred the call and I was told to sit tight and wait a couple of days/weeks to receive a physical gift card in the mail because she had "created a case for her manager to review." More lies.

    • The second time I called on 4/13/2021 ~1:09 pm, they told me to call the "cashstar" department. I called them ~1:28 pm and talked to Carlos. He said that these gift cards were not issued by his department and that I should call Best Buy again to have it figured out.

    • Today (05/02/2022 ~9:37 am), I wanted to give it one more chance so I called I called and I was told by the operator that the gift card was issued and that there was nothing they could do. She said I should talk to the gift card cashstar department (NOT AGAIN!) to which I explained I already had and that they sent me to Best Buy again b/c these gift cards were not issued by them. She insisted on transferring me to which I replied: "No, I'm done playing this game and I need you to give me a solution." She then proceeded to hang up.

    Aaand this is my story of how a store I thought was legit scammed me with fake advertising. To be fair, it's not the $200 I care about at this point, but the feeling of being lied to/deceived without a second thought. Instead of being a valued customer and finding a solution for me (e.g. a physical gift card), they'd rather lie to me, play ball, hang up on me, etc. and I'm not gonna take it. I've also been given multiple reference ids and have records of my conversations with agents. I have documented everything and plan to keep spreading my story and continue with legal proceedings if no resolution is offered.

(Although they are supposedly a repair shop, they don't stock parts.) Parts arrived and repairman came a week later. Of course, he needed another part. He put in the order with a rush delivery. The part was never sent, although the phone rep said that the repairman would bring it with him. He didn't, and had to order the part all over again. I was then given a repair appointment for almost a week later. I have spent so much at a laundromat that I probably could have called a reputable repair facility and paid to have the machine repaired right away.

    The experience started with their price guarantee. Although I showed prove of discordant pricing between them and a major competitor (Home Depot), they would not honor it. I decided to proceed as the fridge fit perfectly in the space I had and it was not available at the other store - even though it was a 500 price difference. During the delivery, they gave me a 5 hour window which they kept extending by an hour and ultimately cancelled. By then I had emptied out the old fridge, making it ready for removal as was told to do. In the afternoon, they sent me a message to call corporate to rearrange delivery, only to find out that the only possible window was over a week away!!! What awful service. Make sure that you do not follow their instructions and get rid of all of your food, or you will probably lose quite a bit of money.

    BE WARY OF BEST BUY! They now do sketchy business! I bought a computer and found out that they were charging me 28 bucks per month for warranty. Oups, my bad I must have not read the fine print correctly. Frustrated, I just asked to cancel. They charge a 103 cancellation fee. For what? I didn't use ANY of the benefits of their home membership and wasn't interested in doing so. They charged me months of a service that I didn't use/wasn't interested in and a cancellation fee. I was going to be buying an expensive gaming laptop but I will now take my business to online shops.

    My son had a cracked screen on his laptop and had it sent away for repair. The original screen was a touch screen. The computer came back not a touch screen. The model of the computer only has a touch screen so I simply called to ask 2 simple questions... 1. Was touchscreen not an option? or 2. Did they not realize it was a touch screen and that is why it was replaced with a non touch screen? I called the store number. I got a person not at the store. They not only couldn't send me to a live person at the store to answer my question, they told me the only way to ask my question was to make an appointment. I couldn't even go down in person without an appointment to ask my simple question about my repaired product with an issue that was literally picked up one hour ago.

    I called the corporate office and asked if I could leave my number for the manager of the store to contact me or the manager of the repair department. No! They can't call you to answer your simple question. you have to make an appointment to leave your job and go down to have a simple question answered. I asked if I could email them my service order number and my question... NOPE! can't do that either! This is the least helpful system I have ever worked with. Not one person can answer a question.

    All of the responses are "you would like to make an appointment. Is that right?" No, and I can't believe that the 8 different people I spoke to are paid to have no answer whatsoever! It is like the entire company has a bunch of robots working for them! This is my first experience with Best Buy and ABSOLUTELY MY LAST! I was not even upset about the screen as it could have been a simple misunderstanding. This on the other hand is nothing less than lazy unknowledgeable people who REFUSE to assist you!

    I cannot conceive of a more inferior product. Abruptly turns off for no apparent reason; features of programming disappear and reappear entirely on their own, switches channels by itself. Volume goes from 45 to 5 at will and requires frequent reset. Picture speed poor- buy a Sony worth the additional expense!

    I normally use Best Buy for all my TV needs. Not anymore. ** them and their 200 dollar total tech crappy membership. They are making you buy to be able to purchase a PS5. It's 100 percent greed. 100 percent money grab for a service no one wanted and they were losing money on. They now lost an over 20 year loyal customer.

    Best Buy has policies that are not in the interest of the customer at all. It is as if they set themselves up to do a poor job and anger the customer. This is completely true when it comes to phones. If you do not buy a Samsung Galaxy or an Apple I phone, do not bother to ask if you can get a screen protector or a case for the phone you are about to buy. The 500 or so cases and protectors are only for those two phones. The $45 dollar restocking fee is idiotic and only serves to provide a negative customer experience. There are so many issues, I could write a book. The idea of customer oriented retail is the ability to say 'yes' to any sale and to provide an experience that tells a customer they are welcome and to come back to the store again. Best Buy fails miserably at both.

    I brought in a 2 yr old laptop to the Geek Squad that had a damaged screen. The repair representative told me I would have to pay a $84.95 deposit to send the laptop off for repair and that the repair would cost between $110 and $240. I declined the extra charge of $100 to backup my computer in case they accidentally delete all my data.

    After a few days, the repair center emailed me that to repair the screen would cost $448 plus any other unforeseen expenses during repair, plus applicable taxes. I declined the repair, since the laptop only cost $479 new and I was willing to spend a few extra dollars to buy a newer one. They told me I could pick it up the next day, but when I went to get it, they didn't have it back yet. When I did get it (and they did refund my $84.95 deposit), I took it by a local repair shop (Magic City in Trussville, Alabama) that gave me a repair range between $120 and $195. They repaired it for $175. I will not be returning to the Best Buy Geek Squad.

    The Best Buy credit card (Citi group) is asking me to pay the annual fee for renewal of Geek Squad Tech Support. However, I never had any contract with Best Buy about renewal of Tech Support, I never request this renewal tech support, I never used this Tech support. Since December of 2019 I am in Europe, even physically I cannot use this tech support that I never requested.

    I have no contract with BestBuy for Geek Squad Tech Support renewal. While the signature on a sales receipt proves to the bank that the payment was authorized by the cardholder, it does not prove that the cardholder was aware of and agreed to all of Best Buy terms. Sales receipt states [We will send you a reminder email before your annual renewal date and advanced notice of any price change]. However, I NEVER GET ANY REMINDER EMAIL.

    There are a lot of bad things going on because of violations of my rights by Best Buy. I was asking the Geek Squad and Best Buy to fix this problem, they promised to do so, but they did it partially. Best Buy card (Citi group) is charging me with late fees every month and completely destroyed my credit history record, and I never had any debt in all my life. Best Buy and Geek Squad is bad and dishonest business.

    I bought a cell phone for $1,066.24 (tax+$150 gift card included ). I used the phone for 1 day and did not like so I decided to return it. When I got to the store, I was told there was a $45 stocking fees which I was ok with. However, after the return process was completed, the cashier told me the $871.24 would be refunded to my credit card. This amount was $150 less than the amount I was supposed to get. The gift card was deducted from my balance. Even though I never used it. When I asked if I could return the gift card, I was told that the gift cards were not returnable. This is unacceptable! I will dispute this issue with my credit card company.

    I returned 2 batteries that were unopened on 01/18/2022. Best Buy return center in Kentucky received the items on 01/24/2022. Since then, I called customer service three times to find out why I never received a credit. I got nowhere the first two times. On the third time, 6 weeks later, I was told the batteries are not returnable, and they will ship them back to me. Their return policy on https://www.bestbuy.com/site/help-topics/return-exchange-policy/pcmcat260800050014.c?id=pcmcat260800050014 clearly states “opened consumable items including health supplements, health test kits, batteries…” are not returnable. The batteries I returned were UNOPENED! It didn’t matter to “customer service”. I will never buy another product from Best Buy. There are too many other options available.

    Paid extra for the "Total Tech" which we were told included delivery, removal of old, and door flip on the fridge. When the 3rd party crew arrived they were argumentative and disrespectful. They stated it was a drop only delivery. They wanted me to pay extra for those services, which I believe was a scam. Literally left the unit in my driveway. It is waiting there still, but since even management (who was contacted after hiding behind national phone numbers) can't deliver service as promised who know when they are planning on getting it.
