They have a lot of electronic stuff but I really think than their prices are very expensive compared to other stores. The good thing about it is than they have an extensive variety of products and electronic brands!

We have been buying all our tvs from Best Buy since the early 2000’s. We have bought cellphones, computers, DVD players, Blu-ray, Keurigs... All our large appliances (kitchen & laundry) have all come from Best Buy. Their prices are competitive, extended warranties are great, and, we have been happy with their Geek Squad.

When I actually need help, there's always someone close by that gets right on my needs. Love shopping a store where I can anticipate getting A+ customer service. That's what separates Best Buy from most of its competitors...

Best Buy is my favorite store to shop, they always have what I need. The staff are always extremely helpful to their customers. I always ask, if I’m gonna get a gift card please let it be from Best Buy. I am a extremely electronically inclined person, so my needs are met at Best Buy.

Can't really beat brick and mortar these days. Sure the price may be a little higher than Amazon, but you also get to try the stuff out and if it isn't up to your expectations, you have the ability to bring it back in, and you have actual people who can offer up accessories or advice.

Overall Best Buy is a pretty good store. The only real issue I have is that salespeople seem often non-existent. I've visited stores in California, Minnesota, Idaho, Utah, Pennsylvania, and Oregon and the only place where I was approached for assistance was in Southern California. My worst experience was at the Philadelphia store where I had to hunt for the manager to find out he was the first person to blow me off when seeking help to purchase a product. Other than that most of my experiences at Best Buy have been reasonably good.

We live in a small town and sometimes it's difficult to find quality electronics. At Best Buy they usually carry the latest televisions, computer equipment, appliances and other necessary items a consumer needs. Also video games movies and entertainment. It's also convenient to check online for competitive prices which they will match, no waiting time if the item is in stock. This Christmas they actually has the best deals. The customer service is great. Good luck and happy shopping.

Geek Squad Tech Support represents 95% of the value we get from Best Buy. BB's pricing is borderline deceitful as when you add all the crap you need to make the product work, the "total cost" is always at least 20% higher than the actual product. Their Customer Service by phone or in the store SUCKS!

I like this store because it has an awesome selection of the things I like. From cell phones to laptops and everything else. I can just shop online and go pick it up in the store. I also like to visit their clearance section. My children also like going there. Earning money to redeem is a plus also. The Staff is helpful and polite.

Best Buy with brick and mortar stores almost in every major city is a convenient place to shop when you need it now. Their products' selection is good with competitive pricing. Their return policy is also very fair. Their advantage over ordering online is that you can look and feel at the item before you buy.

This Best Buy is in Daytona Beach, FL. It's a spacious store, but it is overwhelming, it doesn't feel comfortable to shop in there. Employees are available, and they are somewhat helpful, but somehow the store doesn't have a feel that makes a person walk around and shop. It has a large parking lot, which is usually packed. The store is located in a busy area, so lots of traffic. For some reason Best Buy just doesn't offer good service to their customers. It seems when people recommend a product, it is not based on empirical knowledge but on reading some type description.
When things go wrong there is no support, they have a very limited return policy. Maybe we expect too much out of them. After all they are not electronics specialists. They are people working an hourly job that pays minimum wage. The delivery reliability is atrocious, and there is a total disconnect between the stores and their 800 number. The 800 might be called Best Buy, but it seems that it's a different company, they have no ability to help with a store issue, and the store seems to not be accountable to anyone.

Earlier this year I purchased a large screen TV from Best Buy. After paying for delivery and installation I was not satisfied with the picture quality. I went back to Best Buy and told them of the problem. Without hesitation they said they would gladly have me pick out another TV and they would arrange to have it delivered and installed at no extra charge. Needless to say, I was speechless. A great store to deal with.

Worked online for phone charger with Best Buy. The ease of shopping was great. The pick-up process was superb. It was quick and easy. So much better than other vendor experiences. It literally took me less than 5 minutes to park the car, enter the store, go to the "pick-up" line and secure my purchase from on-line.

Although they have a variety of items they do not have enough sales persons available to help the consumer. I also believe that they are a little overpriced. Cut down on some items because they give too many choices.

I'm not a techie so I really rely on my local Best Buy to help me find what I need to fit my need. While all staff have been helpful I honestly look for Rosie when I go in because she is SOOO helpful finding the particular model that will work for me.

Best Buy online has always been great. Purchases arrive quickly and are as described. When I purchase online and pick up in the store, that is usually a good experience, as well. Sometimes there is a wait, usually no more than 5 or so minutes, while you wait to pick up the item(s) you purchased online. When I shop in store, I am always asked if I need help finding what I’m looking for. I am always greeted when I walk in and thanked when I walk out, by the employees who monitor the door. I am happy to shop at Best Buy and am satisfied the vast majority of the time.

Best Buy, for the last several years, has been the only true electronics and appliance store that still has a brick and mortar retail presence. It used to be that there were quite a few choices in this area, with Good Guys, Circuit City, etc. Now, there really is only Best Buy if you want to get in the car and walk into a store to shop for your items in person, which I happen to love. If I'm buying a 750 Camera, I want to see it in person, hold it, ask about it. Same with a computer, or dishwasher. The prices at Best Buy are fair and competitive and the sales staff is VERY knowledgeable. And, of course, there is the Geek Squad. They installed my last home theatre system and did a FANTASTIC job. Top level service and support all the way around. So, if you want to deal with an actual person and you want to see and hear the electronics you are buying BEFORE you buy them, then you really do want to give Best Buy a look. I've never been disappointed.

I’ve been a loyal Best Buy customer for years but that has absolutely come to an end.

I ordered an iPad with guaranteed 3 day delivery and after that date, I got an email saying it’s not in stock. If they get one I might get it in a month... if not, I just won’t get it and my order will be automatically cancelled.

I am so disappointed in the Best Buy Geek Squad. Heard so many good things about it. Took my computer in to see why it wasn’t charging. They charged me $85 to send it out for three weeks and came back with they couldn’t repair it because it was an older model. Took it to a local computer shop WOW!! all it needed is a new AC adapter charging cord. Geek squad couldn’t have figured that out when they looked at the end of my AC adapter and saw that it was cracked when I was at the store? And it was pointed out to them. They had to send it out with the charging cord to Kentucky for 3 weeks and they couldn’t figure that out. So they took my $85 & were no help whatsoever! I take it to another Computer repair store. Five minutes later they said, " Oh it’s just your AC charging cable." I purchased one for $45 and we’re done. My computer now works again imagine that. I WILL NEVER TRUST OR GO BACK TO GEEK SQUAD AGAIN!!!
Before this we purchased a computer for my son for College at Best Buy. He has had a few issues with it running slow, battery not charging to 100% & have sent it out twice and they still have not been able to figure out what the problem is. Wouldn’t have used them had I not been convinced to buy the warranty and the in-store help program. So now I’m out $400 for that because truly they are no help. All they do is send it and your computer is gone for three weeks with no answer when you get it back. My son’s battery simply isn’t charging 100% we haven’t had it for a year yet and they can’t figure out why it’s not charging. We have the replacement program why not just put in a new battery and let’s be done with it at geek squad at the store instead of sending it out and making him lose three weeks of use of his computer when he is at college.

I have a personal and a business account with Best Buy, both of which I plan to close due to the gross incompetence of Best Buy and its staff. I have witnessed Best Buy going downhill over the last few years and will never work with Best Buy again. In recent corporate purchases Best Buy repeatedly shipped to the wrong location, then when we gave up on shipping and scheduled a in store pick up, Best Buy totally screwed that up as well
This past week I purchased a very expensive TV over the phone speaking with William ** (**). I had limited time as I was on my way to a business meeting, when called with the model number and simply needed to place the order and schedule the install. This process took 45 minutes. I could have purchased the same TV online on Amazon in 5-minutes. William ** had problems; placing the order, scheduling the install, figuring out what to charge for the install, and taking a credit card over the phone. The process of just taking the credit card took 20 minutes, William ** kept blaming the Best Buy computer system during the entire process.
During this long process I noticed that Best Buy had the wrong business address for my company, so I provided the updated address. When I was sent the receipt, I noticed that William ** did not update the address. This entire process of working with Best Buy and William ** was extremely frustrating and is reason enough that I would not order anything from Best Buy again but there was more.
During this 40-minute process William ** confirmed the install date to be Saturday February 2nd. On Friday February 1st I received a call from Best Buy to confirm my delivery and install for Wednesday February 5th? When I explained to the representative that I had a firm date of Saturday February 2nd he said well he had nothing and could not do anything about it. I then called William ** again and he once again blamed the Best Buy Computer system. I then asked to speak with a manager and he said his manager Angela ** (**) did not take calls that I would have to e-mail a explanation and at some point she would respond to the e-mail.
Never at any point did anyone from Best Buy accept blame, apologize or offer any solutions other than scheduling another date. Best Buy also has offered no compensation or all of my time that they have wasted. If this is the level of service, you are looking for then you are in good hands with Best Buy. If not, there are a lot of other options and I would avoid working with Best Buy at all cost.

I purchased an over the range microwave online over a month ago. I have yet to receive it.

Waited on a scheduled fridge delivery (29 days). On the day before delivery received email stating tomorrow was delivery day and estimated time. In the wee hours received two emails stating to call a number regarding URGENT delivery. After those emails - at 7AM on the delivery day - another email received reminding me of the delivery later that day. Confused? Me too. So called them. Here they did not have a fridge to deliver and pushed my date out to March - which would have put it at a 90 day wait from original purchase. Do not deal with this company for appliances. Let them stick with TVs. I cancelled my 2K order.

This would be ZERO stars if possible! I have a Best Buy credit card. I had a smartphone that broke, still under Geek Squad warranty. Geek Squad charged me $39 to return broken phone! SURPRISE! Was told a replacement would take 2 weeks or more! It was suggested I could always buy a new phone, then return it if didn't like. Bought new phone. During transaction for new phone, was then told the broken phone was worth exactly 96 cents credit towards a replacement! WOW! Old phone not worth replacing! Salesperson and I went right back to Geek Squad and officially canceled the replacement of broken phone. Was told credit would be 3-7 business days. BIG hassle!
Bought new smartphone AND $300 bluetooth speaker. Couple weeks later, I received an unexpected $249 Best Buy gift card! So happy thinking Sales or Geek Squad was considerate about all the hassle and mis-comms! Delighted, I went back to Best Buy, used the card, and charged an additional $75 difference on an additional product. Last week, I receive Best Best Buy credit statement, and WHAT? The $39 Geek Squad charge still there! Today - 1.5 HOURS on phone with Best Buy credit, and am told I should have called when I got the gift card! - ARE YOU KIDDING?- After I spent $75 in addition to the gift card - they insist I now still owe the $39 and should not have expected the credit I was promised???
This is coordinated rip off tactics! --- Never again! I will pay exactly what I owe, no more, and will go by what I was promised. I am now cancelling my Best Buy credit card, and never going to purchase another Best Buy product or use the Best Buy credit card again! Jerks lost a long time, great customer! Best Buy rips off their best longtime customers!

I ordered a Haier washer/dryer combo from Best Buy because their price was the best and they seemed to provide the best service options. I bought installation service and 5-year Geek Squad warranty. The product was delivered by a third party installation service (they were great), but seemed not to know anything about the product they were supposedly going to install. I had tried to get information before installation on what I needed to do on Best Buy website, when I saw that the install service had me buy a ventilation kit for the unit that has a ventless dryer system. The third party deliverers said they would take the vent kit back for a refund (never happened). Also, they said I needed a 220 outlet, when the online manual clearly stated that it must be connected to a 120 volt grounded outlet. So, they would not install it. I had to call an electrician who came out and saw the connections for a 220 install that Best Buy also required me to buy for installation.
Then, during first time use, the door locked and showed an error. I called Geek Squad for someone to come take a look. The Geek Squad representative was not helpful. The representative knew absolutely nothing about the appliance. He told me the error was for air vent (that the appliance does not require--as it is ventless). I told him it was ventless and he made me feel like I didn't know what I was talking about. He said their repair service didn't apply for another year anyway and that I'd have to call GE appliance store. I told him it was Haier and he told me it was the same thing as GE and gave me a number to call. I said they should probably make all of this more clear when a customer is purchasing a product and he told me that's just how it is.
I called the number he gave me for GE appliances which did not recognize my number as having purchased the product. I looked up Haier customer service and they were great! Got an appointment with them immediately. I feel like Best Buy and their Geek Squad charged me for parts I didn't need and a service that was useless. I would like to contact customer service but they make it almost impossible. That's why I'm leaving a review here... Hoping it might save at least one person the frustration.

Just want someone to know..Citi (the Best Buy credit card company) just cancelled my card for lack of activity (no charges in 12-24 months). They never informed me they were going to do this; caught me by surprise. I have contacted them on this matter and have got nothing back but corporate template/boiler plate answers. This account was over 10 years old and had lots of activity on it over the years. I maintain a credit score over 800. This action has a negative effect on that credit score. I have been in the process of installing a recording studio in my home. Needed a new and powerful computer plus speakers. Now I must inform Best Buy and any other concerned parties that as long as CITI is the Best Buy preferred financing option, I will never do any further business with either company ever again!!

This holiday I placed an online order with Best Buy for my son's Christmas present that I was told it would be delivered 12/21/19. I checked the email status on 12/21 stating item was delayed till 1/21/2020. So on 12/23/19 I went to the mall to cancel order and purchase the item in store.

The online order came around 12/27/19. The item was in a sealed box and had no documents in box of purchase or return policy. The store denied my return as they said it was past return date of 6 days. I explained that no policy or paperwork came in the box. They said all I can receive is store credit or keep the item. So I feel that due to their errors they basically are forcing me to get my money.. I contacted customer service and they were not of any help at all and said why didn’t I return it when I got it.

Same disastrous, dare I say more disastrous, story as other customers of Best Buy. My elderly mother bought two top of the line dishwashers to be delivered on the same day and installed in two locations about a mile apart. They showed up with one dishwasher for one location. Receipt clearly indicated same day delivery for both. Rescheduled two weeks out for the other, then they cancelled and pushed it back another two weeks.
When they finally arrived, we had an installer, but no dishwasher. Same old “blah, blah, blah” from the installer, “thought the dishwasher was already here”. My mother and wife spent all afternoon at the store where the purchase was made (Niles, Ohio) after waiting all morning for the installer who was empty handed. Store manager (corporate) assured them he would get to the bottom of it and contact one of them by the end of the day, already being late afternoon by then. After a week went by without hearing anything at all from anyone, I spent over ninety minutes on the phone trying to get in contact with someone, anyone! Several hours combined on phone, mostly on hold or being transferred around.
Eventually made arrangements to go back to store to get delivery straightened out at which time they gave us $100 off for inconvenience (back to that in a minute). Rescheduled another week out between seven a.m. and noon. Of course no one showed up at all. Started calling again at one in afternoon. After all that inconvenience, I was informed I would have to make another trip back to the store (fourth trip now). At that point it was four in the afternoon and I just asked for a refund as we’d given them all the time under the sun to get the job done. It was then that they arranged for a refund by mail MINUS the $100 off for the inconvenience that they were TAKING BACK. We had spent three full days waiting on our own time not even including hours and hours on the phone, and still never even got the product.
Mind you, this was a nearly two thousand dollar dishwasher (2) order that was already paid for in advance. Absolute and total bungling and incompetence from top to bottom! Would never ever consider buying anything from Best Buy ever again! I would rather pay a few bucks extra for a legitimate company and no headaches. It defies logic that this is one of the top retailers in the country. Worst customer service ever, and I am over a half century old and have dealt with my share of poor service. This takes the cake though. I would encourage any consumer to look elsewhere for your purchases. Keep in mind that Best Buy doesn’t sell anything you can’t get somewhere else. Save yourself the grief and keep in mind that Best Buy could care less! If I could give no stars I would.

I cannot express how shady I think this is - the Best Buy website advertised a specific price. I added the product to my cart. I went to check out and as I was doing so it added $100 to the total price. I went back to the website page and when it loaded it showed the price I was first told. Then it would auto-reload and show a different price. So I would refresh and it would show the price I added it as, then reload and up the price. I talked to someone and they said that just because it is in your cart, the price is not guaranteed - WHAT?! I was going to pay for something in my cart. If I wanted shady I would stick with sketchy companies. I will continue to use Amazon - this was the first time I tried to use Best Buy as they are usually more expensive. Never again.

Best Buy has the worst customer service I've ever experienced and it's consistent because every time I've had to deal with their customer service Relations Department it has been a nightmare.

You wait on hold for 20 minutes and then you’re directed to Mexico City to a person that doesn’t belong to the United States. They claims their self as Best Buy Or Geek Squad. It’s horrible. It’s a terrible experience when you can’t talk to anybody. They came in to your home and Installed a product Then you call their supervisor and his a recording says that He doesn’t handle Orlando installs anymore. This is the worst customer service ever. I own my own company. I would fire everybody in this division. This is in going situation for over a month. Too many chiefs not enough Indians. All the phone calls usually go to one store in Altamont Springs Florida and then if no one answers you speak to somebody in Mexico. Good job Best Buy!!!!

Ms. ** Me and my 9yr old daughter came into the BestBuy in Jackson TN on 1/06/20 @ 7:10 PM and was welcomed at the door by a lady with Blonde hair and she placed a orange sticker on my Eco Dot that I was trying to exchange for something else because my 9 year old received it as a gift from a relative, however she already has a Google Home Mini so we were going to just swap it for something else. I was directed to customer service were Naomi was very polite with trying to get my gift exchanged and she advised me that it will be a store credit if I returned it so I told her that was fine so she used her radio to call a Manager for a Override return without a receipt and Josh ** came over and once he saw me he immediately said He was not doing a return for me.
So I told him that it was a gift for my daughter that someone got her and he was very Rude and Disrespectful to me in front of my child and other customers in line behind me. He then shouted out his boss Robbie said not to exchange it. Then he continued to shout out my personal business in front of customers.. He continued to argue with me. I asked the lady at the door what was his name an she also noticed how rude Josh was and I told her I was calling corporate on him and she gave me the information. Josh then walked over an started yelling at lady at the door for giving me customer service number. I will be contacting my Lawyer for Defamation of Character Code of Law on Mr Josh **. Also Josh Started saying stuff that he said Robbie told him about me.. If this is so he will also be in my complaint. THIS IS WRONG AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ASAP!!

BEWARE. Very nice people in the store but if you have a problem you cannot get anyone on the phone if you place an online order. I ordered an ipad and keyboard case. I received a text that it was delivered, but unfortunately there was nothing delivered to my home. I went outside immediately following the text message. I wasted an entire day attempting to get customer support. Finally I had to put it into dispute with my credit card company. You will never get anyone in the phone if you need to for any reason and if you do they will be in a foreign country and have poor English skills. Impossible! It seems strange that for a delivery over $500 Best Buy does not require a signature - I will never order from Best Buy again.

I purchased an Amana Washing Machine on Monday and it was delivered today Friday morning. When they delivered the machine they took out my old broken washer. They set up the new one and ran water into it. When I went out to check on progress there was water all over the floor. Either from my old machine or the broken hose attachment on the new machine. Either way they had the machine set on a huge puddle of water! I was then told, IT's OK. I could still wash my clothes but only in hot water as the cold water attachment was broken! I had to make them take it back.
Then comes dealing with customer service and trying to schedule a delivery sooner than another week out! 1st; The 1-800 number, no one available, leave your number and would receive a call in 32 minutes. After 35 minutes called the store... no delivery available and as I return to work on Monday delivery can't be accepted...so, maybe, would be Saturday next.. Andy the manager was also zero help. I basically got the run around from everyone I spoke with over the past 2 hours.
Zero customer service. NO attempt to get another machine out and delivered this weekend. They ALL acted like they could care less about the customer. More than 2 hours later got a call from the 1-800 number...and still no resolution, or apologies..what sorry, lackadaisical Customer Service this company has, in complete opposition to their advertisement of same! I also signed on for the 5 year service and now, with being told to use the machine even though a part was broken make me assured that there is no integrity and worry if I should ever need a repair in future that it will be even done correctly or at all! Best BUY has been the WORST BUY, experience of my life!

Even though their website clearly states that they repair/replace iPad batteries, as an Authorized Apple Service Provider, the Best Buy in Tri-County (Springdale/Cincinnati) says they won't service any Apple products! What a complete waste of time. We had to set up an appointment to have them tell us that. We were expecting they would need to send it off somewhere for a few days, and we would probably get back a refurbished iPad. But they aren't even capable of doing that apparently. I checked the website again, thinking I missed something, but it's all still there and the Springdale store is clearly listed as an Authorized Apple Service Provider. False advertising!

What has happened to customer service? When did corporations decide that it’s totally acceptable to be disrespectful to their customers and to not value customer loyalty? I have purchased three TV’s from Best Buy and I buy all of my smaller electronic accessories from Best Buy as they are close to my house. Customer service has always seemed fine, of course I have never asked them to do more than just take my money at the register. After my most recent online experience with Best Buy I will never purchase anything from them again, and I would strongly recommend that you avoid this abomination of a company at all costs. Go to Target, Costco, Amazon, the closed down radio shack, anywhere but Best Buy!
I purchased a NordicTrack S15i from them online. A soon as I placed the order, issues with the delivery started. I called customer service multiple times. Spoke to Jamie the first time and Christine the second. It was overwhelmingly clear from both conversations that their job is not customer service, but how do I make this customer go away. I mentioned to Jaime that I was going to write this and he became very excited. Told me his last name and seemed ecstatic that I would mention it as if it was some sort of badge of honor. When I spoke to Christine she had the very same attitude and seemed excited when I told her that I want to cancel the order, and just buy it somewhere else.
It was as if knowing that a customer had been lost and was going to shop with a competitor was a job well done. I don’t really have an issue with the purchase, as I understand items go on backorder and become discontinued. Spending a month dealing all of this was not fun, but I’m flabbergasted with the level of disrespect I received from Best Buy customer service.

Made a purchase and received a $50.00 complimentary gift card as a purchase incentive. Three days later, the item went down $30.00 and I asked for and was approved the refund. 6 weeks later I went on a chat line and asked when it would arrive. They said it was now denied due to the gift card and 'they' cut off the chat when I tried to protest. I should have been informed about the denial without asking.

On Dec 27th. I took my PC to my local Best Buy in Roseville Michigan to have my power button fixed or a new one put in. Now that is all I wanted the techs to do. Just the button. Did not ask for anything else to be done on my computer. Was running fine until the button issue which had to be pressed anywhere from 3 to 20 times before it would boot. There were no other issues but the power button. So what do they do? They do a diagnostic and remove some corrupt and viruses and supposed fixed the power button. They tell me it's ready for pick up. They plug in and wham. Error pop up and now takes over 15 minutes to boot to desktop screen I brought it with. It starting right up after multiple button pushes but when it did start it was very quick. I told them I would not accept it like that. To take it back and repair THEIR mistake.
As of today Jan 1st I have no computer. Still in Geek Squad. Ok so maybe I should have brought it home and just lived with but as I said I brought it in booting and working except for multiple power button pushes. I have called everyone on this except Congress or written complaints. All get is, "I am sorry" or "I understand". No resolutions. I called the tech that is supposedly working on it and asked if he could go to system restore to an earlier time. His answer is, "I cannot even get into system restore." Colossal screw up on their part. So here I sit on Jan 1st no computer. No follow up. No resolution. No definitive answers. I should not have to go to the store and take home a computer that is not working correctly when it was their error. But it appears I will have to do just that and run it as best I can. I am just so angry. HELP.

I didn’t purchase the service contract as I should have but still don’t expect to be out all my money on a purchase like this and expect either Best Buy or Samsung to want to do something to keep us as customers. But all I get is call Samsung or call Best Buy but at the end of the day all I get is being hung up on and absolutely no service whatsoever. I will only purchase a tv again from BJ’s or Costco as they double the manufacturer warranty and it will for sure not be a Samsung. I have already went back to iPhone and will be replacing all my Samsung appliances soon.

On December 24 2019 I had a technician from Best Buy come look at a tv o bought on July 2019. Apparently there was power going to the tv but there was no picture. The technician said he would order the parts and that I will receive the part on Sunday December 29. Around 5 pm I called Best Buy customer service and made them aware that I still didn’t receive the part. They looked it up and told me that it will be at my residence by the end of the day on Sunday. I got a email confirmation from Best Buy stating that the technician will be at my residence on Monday December 30th to repair the tv.
I called back and spoke to a couple more representatives in which they put me on hold and hung up the phone and didn’t bother calling me back when my contact number is on file. So first they lied and then hung up. I then called primary customer service in which a customer representative gave me a case number and told me with that I can bring the tv into Best Buy and that they would exchange it for me. I guess that’s lie number 2 because Best Buy informed me that I need a RA number to have it swapped.
After I dismounted the tv from the wall and spent 3 hrs at Best Buy in Levittown LI. I called customer service once again and once again I was told that a manager would call me back in which I never received a call. That’s two times they said management would call and they didn’t. Now they are telling me the part will be here on Friday the 3rd and they set up a date to repair my tv without confirming with me if that date is ok. Bottom line is that Best Buy representatives are very unprofessional and don’t know how to deal with their customers. I’m an Elite customer who bought all my electronic needs at Best Buy and more but that will change.

Sebastian from IHA recommended that instead of placement over the fireplace we instead exchange the TV for a 55" Samsung Frame TV so that it would look like a framed picture and there would be no hinges or wiring that would be visible. He recommended a certain kit as well which we ordered and exchanged for the larger more expensive Samsung Frame TV. We ordered installation via Geek squad which took another 12 days. Raymond from Geek squad came out and indicated the special kit would not work and there would be a very visible wire running down from the TV and he could not hide that wire totally refuting what Sebastian from IHA recommended.
Raymond said we needed to order a special sheathing direct from Samsung and therefore he could not install the TV. I called Samsung and one of their engineers stated that there was no problem having the wire from the TV hidden behind the wall as long as it was not bent 90 degrees. The Samsung engineer said that there were several complaints against Best Buy for providing incorrect information. We went back to the Best Buy store to report the issues we were encountering and Meryem the MOD told us there was no excuse and she was giving us a $300 credit for our trouble which we thanked her for.
However, we learned the next morning that Best Buy had actually lowered the price of the TV $300 so we only received a price match not a credit for our trouble. We again returned to the store and Meryem was not in and the MOD was James. James indicated he could not and would not do anything, and we needed to talk to Meryem who could then reissue a $300 credit. James instead wrote down our contact information and left that in the office for Meryem to follow up on the next day..
2 days later, Meryem called to inform us that she could not really issue the $300 credit and could only match the lowest current price. She offered us a $29 Echo Dot for our trouble which we declined as we already had one and did not feel that she had acted in good faith. We now have a private non Best buy affiliated Samsung recommended installer that said they could easily install the TV and hide the wire behind the wall. Best Buy's Managers both Meryem and James did nothing to solve our issue or make up for.

The rim that fits around the radio is loose and there was damage done to the dash where they cut the opening out to install the radio. So I took my car back and complained about these things. The rim was taped up as a fix. Nothing done about the damage. I wasn’t satisfied with a tape patch that could later come apart as the weather gets hot and humid. Their mention about putting in a cage which didn’t sound too nice to look at based on their description.
I paid $200 for this radio installation and expected a professional look. It was botched job and Very unattractive. They are trying to blame it on my car being old (2011 Altima Nissan) but my car has been kept in top notch shape in and out. My dash has been defaced. I spoke to Joe the original installer, Nate the lead guy and Kevin the store manager. They really couldn’t offer a fix that was satisfactory or that would look professionally done.

We have purchased a Samsung refrigerator that retails for $1500.00 in 2015. Most appliances like this you expect them to last more than 4 years right? We purchased the Geek Squad protection in case something went wrong with the appliance it would be covered. This model has been serviced 5 times now. It freezes everything I put in it. No water no ice.
Geek Squad says I don’t qualify for a replacement because the techs that came to fix it did not fix the same part each time. It has to be 3 times in a row fixing the same exact part. Since they are not sure what’s wrong with it they try different things each time. So you never get to the 3 times for the same part. I had to purchase a basic fridge to put in the garage days before Xmas so we could have somewhere to put my grandsons milk and our insulin. I have called until I’m blue in the face.
Dec 26 they replaced the circuit board. Gave it 24 hrs. Still freezing. No water. No ice. If I want water in the middle of the night I have to go to the cold garage. I will never purchase another thing from Best Buy. We have our 6th appt for a tech to come out for the same problem 5 times prior. It’s a lemon. It happens. I just want a replacement. We purchased over 11,000 worth of appliances that day we got the fridge. You would think they would want to accommodate their customer. But here we are still with no help.

My wife and I purchased an inexpensive large television, 58" Westinghouse, for our spare guest room. It was your "Deal of the Day" which caught our attention. We really did not even go to your store with the intentions of purchasing a television. We were shopping for Christmas gifts for extended family actually. While we made a few additional purchases, we decided to buy the Deal of the Day television because the price was very reasonable for our intentions with this television. One of the employees set off to find one of the two televisions listed as in stock for our item. After several minutes, he returned with the television advising it was on the very top shelf in the back.
We paid for the television and were asked if we wanted the television inspected. Quite candidly, I looked at the box and it appeared in good shape. I was set to accept it as is. My wife however suggested that it would only take a moment so why not let them inspect it. I agreed and the employee began to open the box. In what will be interesting later, she did struggle to get one of the side Styrofoam pieces off of the side but eventually did. In a very cursory manner, she flashed a light into the box and advised the television was ok. Her and another employee repacked the box, struggling once again to get the get one of the side Styrofoam pieces on the side. (I note this for a comment made to me later.)
The box was eventually taped shut and we transported the box home. We parked in our garage and literally moved the boxed television about 5-10 feet into our game room. Our purchase occurred at 9:12pm (again mentioned for a comment made later to me). At approximately 12:00am, we decided to unbox the television. In the same fashion as the employees, I removed the top Styrofoam, the two side pieces of Styrofoam (struggling with one side to remove), and the two of us lifted the television out of the box. While lifting the television, something caught my thumb on the side of the television. We immediately inspected the television and found significant damage to the screen on one side. We did NOTHING further, slid the television back in the box, reapplied the Styrofoam and taped the box shut.
At 8:00am I proceeded to the store where I purchased the television and was directed to the Geek Squad counter. I was met by a young clerk who asked me what occurred and I reiterated my experience. He slid the television into an inspection room where several people apparently looked at the television. The manager of the Geek Squad (female) came out and asked me what happened. I again reiterated my experience at which time she advised her inspection of the box did not reveal any damage. She further stated without any evidence of box damage she could not take the television back. I admitted that I too found the box to be in good condition, I would not have left with a box that wasn't. I explained the cursory inspection of the television that occurred and she advised there is no way that any of their employees would have missed the damage and she would not take the television back. I requested the store manager.
I was quickly met by the store General Manager Josh **, who either had looked at the television already or was simply going on the word of his Geek Squad as he immediately took the position that there was no damage to the box and they inspected the television before I left. I reminded him that I too found the box to be in good condition but my recollection of the inspection was one of a very cursory nature. He stated that there was so much damage to the television that they struggled to get the Styrofoam side back into the box. That caught me as interesting knowing that both employees inspecting the television before I left with it ALSO struggled to get the side piece of Styrofoam out and back in.
Interesting that Mr. ** would make such a comment that may have been relevant to the damage being there at the time of purchase. I insisted that I had this television in my house briefly and decided to unbox it at about midnight. He asked "Did you call someone right away when you discovered the damage?" I reminded him I purchased the television at about 9:15pm and unboxed it at midnight - not sure who I was going to call at that point. I did what a prudent person would have. I re-boxed it and proceeded to the Best Buy store early the next morning.
While my experience to this point was not pleasant as it was clear the store had taken their position that the television was intact when it left with me, my interactions with Mr. ** further disturbed me. He suggested that his employees are highly trained and would never have missed this damage. I advised him that the inspection I watched was not much of an inspection and in retrospect, the piece of Styrofoam being difficult to get back in may have indicated there was damage. He advised there was no damage to the box that suggested the amount of damage on the television to which I agreed. Again, I would not have left the store if there had been significant damage on the box. I suggested that perhaps his employees did in fact miss the damage as there is a film over the entire screen to which he stated they are trained to see through that with their flashlight.
He advised he would not be able to entertain a return because the television was fine when it left the store. I asked if he was suggesting that I broke the television after it left the store to which he stated, "Well you would be surprised how many people out there do that." I found that comment to be insinuating and I further asked to clarify what he meant. He gave me some words on the low statistics of television returns because of the precautions they take and that "something" happened to the television and people out there bring back televisions they damaged. He further advised he would gladly recycle the television for me but I would need it to fight his decision. I inquired how one would go about "fighting" his decision and he stated, "You can call corporate but they are going to call us and I will tell them the same story". "You can take it up with Westinghouse if you want".
Let me acknowledge that we are not talking about a $2,000 television here. The television cost me $279 plus tax. I already own a curved Samsung that I purchased from Best Buy as well as several other televisions throughout my home that I bought from you. This is most certainly not about the money. It is about the principle that I bought something, got it home and immediately discovered it was broken. I would suggest that the inspection that I was present for before leaving the store was not one I would qualify as being thorough. I would further suggest that this television was in fact damaged when we bought it.
In hindsight, the story of the television being stashed away on a top shelf, the struggle to remove the Styrofoam from the box by the inspectors, coupled with Mr. ** using that exact statement as evidence suggesting I broke the television after it left the store, leads me to believe strongly that something happened to that television before I bought it.
While I don't believe a valued customer should ever be in a position to have to defend their character, the insinuation by Mr. ** that I would be one of a number of people willing to try and alter the facts of events to benefit me, over $279, leads me to do so. It is not lost upon me that being lumped into that group of people that Mr. ** references as being dishonest for lack of better words, is defamatory.
I am deeply disturbed by this chance interaction that I had with Best Buy. I have patronized your store for many years and have never found reason to doubt any of your policies. Now, when I come before you speaking honestly about the chain of events, my honestly is being questioned. Best Buy and Mr. ** had the opportunity to accept that something rare has occurred to damage this television. Something did happen to it somewhere, and I assure you it did not happen under my care. Instead, Best Buy and Mr. ** chose to dig their heels in and place a valued customer in with "a number of people" that would do something unscrupulous. I hope the position of Best Buy and Mr. ** was worth it.
I will not return to Best Buy and I will do my best to share this experience with others as I believe it demonstrates a larger principle of placing Best Buy before its customers. You were not getting rich with this purchase... and it will not break me. But you have broken my trust in your company and I will not patronize Best Buy again as a result. Interesting that I cannot locate an email for CEO Corie Barry... Keep your expectations in check should you run into a similar situation. I'll be shopping elsewhere from now on.

Do not order appliances from BestBuy! I purchased a new stove for my wife for Christmas, the stove was due to arrive today. The driver was an hour late with no prior indication or notification. When the stove finally arrived it was severely damaged. I rejected the order and went to the store to try and get it sorted so that my wife would have her gift. When I went into the store I was informed there was no possible way for me to get the stove prior to Xmas now. The earliest would be after the new year.
So not only did I waste half my day waiting for a broken appliance but I lost out on the sale of my old appliance. I decided to cancel my order. Unfortunately the money will not be returned to me in time to even react and get my wife something else for xmas. I am now out of the time spent waiting, $100 from selling the old appliance and it is going to ruin my family's Christmas. Bestbuy will never get another dollar of my money again.

We bought 2 Samsung active watches open box. Both said excellent condition and no missing pieces. When we got the watches home they synced seamlessly to our phones and seemed to be a great product until I went to charge them. Neither device would charge no matter how many things we tried. So we returned to the store expecting a Geek Squad employee to show us what we were doing wrong, but it turned out one of the chargers was defective and one of the watches was defective.
At this point my expectation would be for them to allow a return of the defective devices and we would be left starting over to find a good deal on these watches. Instead we were able to combine the defective pieces into one box and keep the pieces that work in another. Already, amazing customer service. Then they allowed us to swap the defective open box watch with a brand new one. Best Buy has put me in the holiday spirit, I couldn't be more happy with the service. It is tough to get out of the house and do brick and mortar shopping with all my kids, but Best Buy continues to make it worth it every time. Thank you Best Buy.

I ordered an iPad for my daughter’s Christmas present from bestbuy.com with ample time to arrive before Christmas. Unfortunately, the shipping company delivered it to a business instead of my house and when they realized their error, the business refused to return the package. The shipping company advised me that they would personally refund Best Buy, but told me to contact Best Buy to send me a new iPad. Best Buy absolutely refuses to replace or refund. They said it’s not their fault. I was told by customer service that they will only replace or refund if the shipping company sends them the money. I complained and the representative’s response was “call the police.” She then hung up on me.
I called back, asked to speak to a manager and was told it would take at least 8 days to get the claim report, then Best Buy will decide whether or not they will refund me. But I can order a new iPad (and pay for it again) and get it in mid-January. I called my credit card company to dispute the charges. The rep at my credit card company told me this is fraud and an adequate response to what Best Buy did to me. I found the iPad at another store for the same price and had the best experience elsewhere. I will never shop at Best Buy again.

I ordered in store (they ordered through online service). The product was shipped to another city and a different name. UPS says they delivered to the address that was on the package. Best Buy put the wrong address on it. Best buy says the item was delivered and therefore has no obligation to return my money for an item I purchased even though it was their carrier that delivered. The Customer CARE rep. hung up on me when I asked for a call reference number.

I ordered an iPad for my wife for Christmas. When I placed the order the system advised it would be delivered on 12/20/19. I received an auto email from Best Buy today (12/20) informing me this would now be delivered on 12/31!!! They clearly must have known this item was not in stock, yet did not have the integrity to let me know. Additionally, since it’s supposedly “out for delivery” (another lie since it doesn’t take 10 days from California to Georgia), they will not allow me to cancel the order. Shame on me for not buying this from Amazon. This is an outrageous misrepresentation which in my opinion was used to secure an order Best Buy knew they could not fulfill by the promised date. Never again!

We purchased a stove from Best Buy with home delivery. Delivery driver backed into a built-in basketball goal on our property. This was both witnessed and we have it on video. Both Best Buy and the company they used to deliver refuse to take responsibility for paying for the damage done to our property. Subcontracted delivery company refused to provide insurance information, which is illegal and highly suspect. I do not recommend purchasing anything or especially having it delivered by a company that would act this unethically and irresponsible.

The store had this "12 days of deals" event which included getting your items by Christmas. So as a Best Buy guy, I faithfully spent a few hours looking for "deals". I bought about 5 items and was also "lucky" to get the main attraction- a discounted 55" TV! Their site indicated that the nearby store had all those items so I chose to pick them up there. Next day I received notification the items were ready...all but the much advertised discounted 55" TV! Apparently they were having a hard time fulfilling that order due to unavailability. The same TV was still showing as available at the same store but with a lesser discount! At first the message was they would try to fulfill soonest, then hours later message changed to fulfilling within a month and of course if unable, they'd cancel the TV order.
I thought it was a mistake since the website still indicated the store had it! Then I goggled around and discovered this was a trend/pattern bb uses, with possible cancellation as the end result. Looking at the whole picture, it now appears to me as a scam in the making. Can't believe I fell for their "sale" trick. I will probably wait it out just to see if it will play out as predicted before cancelling. Still shocked big store like bb can stoop this low so shame on you for wasting a customers’ time and misleading with flashy “sales” when you can’t keep your end of the bargain.

I purchased over $7,000 in kitchen appliances from Best Buy, Sugar Land Texas during Black Friday 2019. I opened a Best Buy Credit Card to receive an extra percentage off the purchase price. My intent was to pay off the card before interest was charged. I received my statement via US postal service. The bill was incorrect... More than what I owed because I was not credited for a return. I understood that the bill may have been sent before I did one return resulting in the incorrect total owed.
I took the bill to the service desk at Best Buy, Sugar Land, TX and ask them to pull up my purchasing record so we could reconcile the bill. They said they did not have the ability to do that and referred me to the number on my bill. I asked to speak to a manager. Up came Jordan, a person with no social or customer relation skills. Jordan, in his uncaring and unprofessional manner, also said he was unable to help me. He referred me to the number on my bill.
The number, customer service for the third party who issued the card, Citibank, was outsourced to the Philippines. As many of you have experienced, I talked to a customer service representative who had such a heavy accent that it was hard to understand what she was saying. Plus she had no idea what I was talking about...zero help. I ask her to pull up my purchase record and was told she did not have the ability to do that. Well if Best Buy and the billing company can't pull up my records...why would I even consider keeping this credit card. Cancelled!
I gave up on this path to resolve the issue and went back to the Best Buy service desk and asked for the manager again. Up came Jordan, same sour look on his face and same resolution to the problem, none. He said, "don't direct you frustration toward me." I said, "you are the store manager, who else am I suppose to direct it toward." His answer, not a word. Do jerks like this not know who makes it possible for Best Buy to stay in business? The customers, me. Who makes it possible for him to get a pay check? The customers, me. Too Bad Best Buy. You just lost a customer.

I needed a product the same day and needed to pick it up at Best Buy during my short lunch break. Therefore, I ordered it online for one hour pick up. The receipt even stated it would be available in one hour. Also, the latest commercials even make the same claim. However, when I arrived two hours later and after waiting for 20-minutes at the pickup desk, it was not ready for pickup. The employee told me that the order may not be ready for days as they had over 300 online orders to prepare, but only had one employee assigned to pick them up.
I had to cancel my order and go find the product myself. Then I returned and found out that one was working the checkout stand and I had to checkout using the pickup desk again. After another 30-minute wait, I was able to checkout and return to work late. So, Best Buy advertises that for your convenience you can order online and pick up your product in an hour. However, in actuality, it took me almost an hour to get my product myself in the store. I know that Best Buy was in trouble a few years ago and losing money because of poor customer service. Well, it seems that they will be in trouble again because they still have not learned their lesson.

I am so frustrated. In the past 2 weeks we have given Best Buy almost $4k of our money. We bought a fridge and paid extra to have the water line connected to the new fridge. They came yesterday and said they forgot the water line kit so they gave me a # to call to schedule someone to come out. I called that # to be told that my account was still "in process" so they couldn't do anything until the truck finished all its stops for the day. I called back hours later to sit on hold for over 40 minutes. I was then told that the salesmen rung up my account wrong and never put the install on there so I needed to go into the store because she couldn't do anything for me. I spoke to her manager who told me again the order was rung up wrong and I needed to contact the store. I called the store 15 minutes before they closed and talked to someone who told me that she would review it and have someone call me first thing in the morning.
This morning came and went so I called the store again who told me that the order was correct and I needed to call the same # that I called the night before. I explained that they told me they couldn't help me so I asked them to stay on the line while I conference that # in. Then I received a message that the wait time to speak to someone was 42 minutes. The store rep then tells me that he can schedule a tech to come out but not until next Friday and then asked if I had a copper or plastic water line, so after I told him it was plastic he then stated I needed whole different kind of installation because they require a copper line and that would cost around $130.00. They agreed to do it for free but again it could not be until next week Friday.
After explaining that my husband and I already took off work yesterday to have it delivered and now I have to take another half day to have the water line installed I would like some other form of consideration. After a few hours he calls back and says the best they can do is take $70 off the fridge. The fridge was almost $2k alone. I am ready to return the fridge completely as well as the MacBook we bought on Black Friday. I am going into the store tonight because I am done dealing with people over the phone. I got a different story from each person I spoke to and it is unbelievable that after all the money I have spent there that the best they can do is $70.00. At this point I just want to know EXACTLY what needs to happen. I paid for a fridge with a water and ice dispenser. It should all work the day it was delivered.

At checkout we saw there was only a 6 month no interest option. My husband called the customer service number to find out if we could have a 12 month no interest applied. Since we never use our card and have excellent credit the person who answered told us yes, if we had a $399 purchase we could opt in for a 12 month option. We hung up and added another product for $49 which made our total $399.

So we called again and spoke to a different person who told us we would have to purchase the item first then they would apply the 12 month option. We pressed the customer service person as to why we couldn't have that as an option since we just added another product. She could not give us a reason why but just kept repeating in a thick accent we could barely understand, that we have to buy the product first then call back to receive the option.
Well went moved forward on her word but when we called back we were told we would have to go to the store to get that 12 month option! So, my husband went up there with the receipt and asked for the 12 month option. They told him that ended in October! Ridiculous! I am furious. What a scam!! And on top of it this Dell computer that came with Windows 10 keeps asking for a product key to activate Windows 10! We got no product key and all they told my husband is it's on the card we gave you. That card is for the Microsoft Office 365 we purchased! This is total BS. Beware before you ever buy from this huge company. The left hand is not talking to the right hand.

After trying for several days online and over the phone I was never able to get a copy of a receipt for a product I had purchased. I had a tablet that need to be unlocked. I had lost my receipt and Samsung would not unlock it without a proof of purchase. Even with an order number I was never able to access the original purchase information. Best Buy CANNOT or WILL NOT simply print a copy of the receipt and mail it to you. Because of this I had to pay someone to unlock the BRAND NEW tablet I bought. What happened to customer service??? If they can view the order on a screen shouldn't they be able to print a copy and send it off by regular mail??? Apparently not. I will definitely think twice about buying anything from Best Buy again.

Best Buy, You have just lost all of the business from us, we will cancel all of our orders that we have with you and will never buy from you again. The business you are running is a fraud and lie to consumers. We bought all of the appliances from you, return several days ago, have never received any email nor refund over thousand of dollars for a refrigerator and part. You also overcharge the order of our original appliances by $150 for supposedly free gift cards where you ran promotion! Before we confirm the payment, and our email confirmation shows gift cards were free, then sneaky enough, Best Buy charged for 2 gift card on our account right after they charge the total of our appliances on the very same day. Can't keep promise on promotion? Don't run it!!! Give us our money back!!!!
We schedule delivery to our house in the early morning schedule, but we ended up spending 2 entire paid time off days waiting for you to deliver our refrigerator. We couldn't go anywhere or do anything for those days and they're just wasted. On top of that, Best Buy freaking charge tax for the gift card?? WTF I don't know if anywhere or anyone has to pay additional tax when buying gift cards. Please stop cheating people from their hard-earned money and refund the amount as it should be. Oh did I mentioned how your employee messed up my house by not properly install the waterline for my fridge and damage my house last week?!!!

Best Buy was pleasant in taking the order, but once my card was charged the experience went downhill from there. The delivery personnel was completely unaccommodating, rude, belligerent, epitome of pure evil!!!! Locked my account so I couldn’t cancel the order or get my money back. Customer service over the phone was worse than the delivery team. Made the trip to the store which was even less helpful and refused to refund me, telling me that I had to go back to the same Best Buy where I made the initial purchase because I they did not want to take the return on to their balance sheet, and told me the only remedy I had was to provide feedback on their website. Needless to say I was planing on making additional purchases, but after this experience I will be shopping elsewhere.

First let me say that I have been a long time Best Buy fan and customer with rewards and a credit line of more than $6000.00. Black Friday will be here soon and there are many ads that are offering prices now. I get an ad in the mail and decided to buy 70in LG 4K TV. The location is about 45 minutes away. I call that location from the ad and was told that they have many in stock and to come in and get one. Being that it is 45 minutes away and Best Buy is only 25 minutes away and I could use my Best Buy card if I wanted, I figured that I would call Best Buy to see if they would price match and if they had the exact same TV. I was told yes they would price match, and to just bring the ad with me.
All good, right? I get to the store and talk to someone in the TV department and was told sure, and that they have the exact same tv in stock. He leaves, then comes back to tell me he can't do it. I ask why, he says that it is because it is a Black Friday ad. I say, "But the ad is not for Black Friday, it is for NOW, this week." They say still, can't do it. So I went to B-mart and now have a wonderful TV. Shame on Best Buy, I no longer wonder why I see some Best Buy stores going out of business. Lost a sale and gave a sale to competitor. I gave them first chance.

It is hard to figure out where to start, but I will try. Purchased a S-9 and it was supposed to be in on Tuesday. I called customer service and they said it was at the store. Wrong. It was not. Today has been one month since I ordered it and a month has passed and not a single word from Best Buy. Three times I have tried to call the store and three times nobody ever picked up. I tried to call tonight but knew nobody would pick up. I went to the store and am back home and still on hold. My current hold time right now is 1 hour and 33 MIn and still on hold as I Type.
I went there four days ago to cancel the order and get another phone. Advertised as 2.50 a month with contract for 36 months. I was in the freaking store for almost three hours and they ended up refusing to sell the phone at the advertised price. I spoke with the manager who offered me a discount on another product.. I was prepared to buy but they refused to put their money where their mouth is. Do we want to talk about their total tech support? To make a long story short they lost all my pictures when doing a simple data transfer. About four months ago they screwed my computer up so bad I had to take it in to be repaired.
So let me see here. I think that does it. False advertising saying they will not be beat on price, Geek Squad a nightmare, never pick up their phones, ignore you when the order does not come in, offer to compensate but refusing to honor it thirty minutes later, wasting three hours of my time and then refusing to sell the product at the advertised price. Need I say more. One word of advice. If you have high blood pressure stay away from this dump, and if you do not, you probably will have when you leave.

Our less than two-year-old washer from Best Buy (purchased in July of 2017) stopped completing loads in May of 2019. It took 7 trips to the house and two "No Shows" (a total of nine appointments, numerous days off work and very expensive trips to the laundromat) and we were finally granted a new washer, which was installed on November 4th… Yes, November. Our friends and family couldn’t believe how patient we were with them, but we have always liked Best Buy. As it turns out, they don't make the washer we had any more, and so we went with one that was $100 more. Do you think they would give us a break after all the time off work and money spent at the Laundromat waiting for them to correctly fix or replace our 22-month-old washer... Nope, not a dime. Absolutely terrible Customer Services.
The good that came out of this is that $100 will cost Best Buy thousands... We cut up our Best Buy Card and will never buy anything from them again. In the past two years we have bought three TVs, a refrigerator and a washer (now two), no more... Enjoy your $100 Best Buy! Lastly, I have all of this documented including the chat conversation with Geek Squad where the person told me it was going to be $250 for them to come out and look at the washer (this was visit number 5), which I obviously didn’t pay.

On Nov 13, 2018, I purchased a tablet, microwave oven and an LG Television at the store on Ray Road, Phoenix, Az. I was offered an extended warranty on the tablet and I asked what it covered beyond the manufacturer's warranty. I was told that it covered everything, including water damage and breakage. I stated that I did not want that for the tablet but I did for the TV and microwave. I stated I would feel better knowing that the TV would be good for at least 2 years, regardless of what happened to it. I was sold a 3 year warranty for the microwave and a two year for the TV. Nothing else was mentioned nor any written details about warranties was give.
At the end of October, 2019, the legs on a shelf next to the TV gave way and the shelf fell into the TV. The TV appeared okay until it was turned on. The picture was distorted and cracks could be seen inside. I called Best Buy and was told me to bring it in. I took it to the service desk and the rep started doing paperwork. He stopped and asked another rep something. He then stated that the warranty did not cover breakage. I told him that I was led to believe it did.
We were then joined by an Assistant Manager who listen to my story and then stated the sales person that sold us the TV was a friend of his. He would go speak to her. He returned and stated that the salesperson knew that breakage wasn't covered and she would not have told us it was. I stated that it didn't really matter what she knew, it was what she led me to believe that mattered. I was told all they could do is refund the unused part of my warranty. They gave me a number to "corporate" if I wanted to pursue it further. I asked if they could at least dispose of the TV. They said, yes, for a cost of $50. I left with the TV and attempted to call the number they gave... Didn't work. I found a number on-line. I talked with someone that barely understood English for about 10 minutes and was told that each store could make the decision to refund money, not corporate. I took the TV home and trashed it.
I wrote the BBB and Best Buy responded with the comment that the warranty didn't cover breakage, but they could still have done a refund if I hadn't disposed of the TV. Bottom line, don't buy a warranty on a TV. It's not worth the money. Also, if you still want a warranty, make Best Buy give you something in writing at the time of purchase so you know what you are getting. Better yet, go to Walmart where the warranties on their TV's does cover water damage and breakage.

So I bought my daughter a nice 27" gaming monitor for like $300 for her birthday on 9/20 because Best Buy had it on sale. When speaking with the salesman, I asked him what the return policy is if it was broken and I didn't purchase their warranty, and was told 30 days. Knowing I would give it to her yesterday and it would be a few days before the 30, and it was on sale, I bought it. Well fast forward to yesterday, I give my daughter this gift and she's is super stoked. Feeling like Dad of the year, we get it setup, and only half of the screen works! So after some troubleshooting I decide to call the local Best Buy to make sure they have the same monitor in stock so when I drive the 45 minutes to get there, it's not a waste of my time.
To my surprise, the Customer Service rep told me it didn't matter because it had been 15 days and I'd have to go through the manufacturer. You could imagine how upset I was after the salesman looked me in the eye with a smile and told me 30 days. The sad part is, I've been a customer of theirs since they opened decades ago, and I make it a point to buy my electronics from there in an attempt to keep the sinking ship afloat. This was the last straw, and I will happily watch them go under. My response from the BBB complaint was "If it's broken out of the box, call the manufacturer". So like they don't even care that they sold me a broken product and pretty much stole $300 from me.
That's ok though, I hope that $300 was worth adding a 20+ year customer to a long list of people who have dropped them for good. I also hope this review steers a few people away as well so that they lose more than that $300 in the end. That 15 day return policy is a scam to get you to buy their extended warranties. Why would anyone buy a warranty from a company going out of business?

This review is in regards to a Geek Squad warranty for a Samsung Galaxy S8 phone: I purchased my Geek Squad warranty plan on my cellular phone at the Best Buy store located at 17414 La Cantera Pkwy Ste 106, San Antonio, TX 78257. I attempted to turn in my cellular phone to this same Best Buy location for repair approximately a little over a year ago. The Best Buy store associates told me that I MUST turn my phone into Samsung. They stated that it was still under manufacturer warranty and I MUST go through them. My question is, why would Best Buy accept my monthly Geek Squad payments if they would not honor the warranty and force me to go through the manufacturer? I subsequently received a replacement phone through Samsung.
On September 21, 2019, I attempted to drop my cellular phone off for repair at the same Best Buy due to my phone not working. The employee at Geek Squad told me that I could not drop the phone off for repair at that time and that I must make an appointment to drop the phone off. There were NO OTHER CUSTOMERS waiting for assistance at that time. Inconveniently, I scheduled an appointment for 7 hours later that day.
When I returned to drop off the phone for repair, a different associate THEN tells me that Best Buy is “not an authorized Samsung repair center” and that my ONLY option is get the phone replaced. This was NEVER disclosed to me when I initially signed up for the warranty. The associate then further explains that there is a $199 fee for replacement phones. He stated if was an Apple phone they would be able to repair it. Again, it was NEVER disclosed to me about a fee when I initially signed up for the warranty.
I then called the Best Buy customer service number, 1-888-237-8289, to speak to a supervisor to rectify the matter. I was left on hold for over TWO HOURS waiting to speak to a supervisor. I finally hung up as I could not wait on hold any longer. I searched for a Best Buy email to email about this issue. Best Buy does not have an email for customers to email questions or concerns. I then attempted to initiate a chat session, but there were “no agents available”.
I finally have no other option but to write Best Buy corporate. I wrote them exactly what I've written in this review. To include the inability to reach a supervisor through their 1-888 number, no email, and no agents to chat. Best Buy responds to me with a generic letter, stating for me to call "1-888-237-8289" for assistance. You have been warned. Do NOT purchase a Geek Squad Warranty from them!

Terrible experience with Best Buy Appliance Delivery - I ordered 3 new appliances and waited over 2 weeks for the items to get delivered. On delivery day I was told they'll be there between 12-6 pm, my husband and I both took off work to be there. 6 pm finally arrives and no one has shown up or called. I call Best Buy, wait on hold for over 30 minutes, finally get connected and the agent seemed very unapologetic for the fact we'd waited all day. She said they use a 3rd party delivery crew so she'd have to contact them, she gets them on the phone and the woman didn't want to help at all. All she said was she couldn't get ahold of the driver so she emailed them and asked them to call me directly....
I wait until 7:30 pm, still haven't heard from anyone, I call Best Buy again, they try & call the 3rd party and find out now they're closed. This happened on a Friday so I asked them are they delivering Saturday then, no one knew. Finally I get ahold of a manager who tells me she'll try for Monday, I told her I couldn't take off another day & so Monday after 5 pm, she said she'll try & call me back the Saturday to confirm the delivery - I end up having to call multiple times again and no one can give me an answer on when they'll be delivering, I talk to another manager who says it's not likely it'll happen Monday but she'll check then call back.... Again I hear nothing.
Monday rolls around, I'm at work and get a call the delivery crew would be there in 30 minutes, I tell them no one is there so as I told them before, 5 pm is the soonest they can deliver. After calling multiple times I finally get a dispatcher to call me who said they'll be there at 5 pm. Monday night they finally showed up around 5:45 pm - I had paid the extra $200 for the range to be changed out with a microwave and per the email I received from Best Buy telling me how to prepare for the install the video specifically says "our experts will change out your wiring for a new outlet"....
As soon as the delivery guys get there they tell me they don't do that.... They ended up getting their manager on the phone and I explained the video sent by Best Buy said they would, I told him to forget it & just leave the microwave and we will install ourselves and I'll tell Best Buy to refund the extra I paid for install, finally the manager says they'll go ahead & do it. They get the dishwasher in and microwave, then unbox the stove and of course, it's broken. This happened Monday, today is Wednesday, I've called Best Buy multiple times asking when my stove will be re-delivered, of course no one knows.
They said the delivery crew hasn't even checked back in the return so the order is locked and they can't reschedule. Their records don't even show they've delivered my dishwasher and microwave yet. This whole thing has been beyond frustrating. I can't get any specific person to get this resolved, managers have been no help, they've already deducted all my money and can't even tell me when I'll get my appliance. The lack of organization shown by Best Buy is unbelievable. It amazes me that with how poor of a job they've done not one manager has stepped up to take lead and get this taken care of. The one manager I did speak with, Amanda ** said she provided her direct phone number however every time I've tried calling her since then it goes into a queue.
I've even asked to cancel my order so I can just order somewhere else but they keep saying my order is on hold because of the 3rd party so they won't even cancel it. This is the WORST customer service experience I've ever ever had. I will definitely make sure my family & myself NEVER use Best Buy again. They should be ashamed at how terrible of a job every single person I've spoken with has done.

I’m not putting my husband and young children at risk for a fire, flood or frozen food. Our fridge ice maker freezes over, causing the fan to stop working and temperatures to fluctuate. Samsung was unable to help me with a refund since it’s out of manufacture warranty.
Our dryer is on the 5th repair, also willing to send me a new Samsung dryer. Our washer is recalled and they said there’s nothing they can do. I mentioned going to the BBB, attorney general and fda for spoiled food from selling me faulty appliances. There are over 5k people with the same issue. Jason mentioned I could just file a police report, I am happy to do that as well.

My husband and I have had our Best Buy card for 10 + years and during that 10 + years they have lowered our credit limit to equal the balance we had on the credit card, which made us maxed out on that card. Our scores took a big hit because of that. They have lowered our limit several times over the years for "lack of use," and have threatened to close the card if we don't use it within a certain amount of time.
They offer no incentives to encourage spending. And right now our limit is so low we couldn't buy half the stuff in there even if we wanted to. They have not lowered our extremely high interest rate (not even by 1%), even though we have excellent credit and perfect credit history with them. They have not raised our credit limit back up even after we use it on a regular bases. No promotional offers whatsoever. They only thing that they have offered were 5 dollar off next purchase, because what we have spent on our previous purchase. I know they are not the only store card company that stoop these tactics and it is very sad. The only reason I keep them is, it will hurt our credit.
I'm to the point that I just might let them close it so I can be done with them once and for all. Yea, our credit will take a hit, but it won't take long for us to bounce back. They will definitely need us before we need them ever again. In fact I will never apply for another store card period. They are the worst and they do more harm to your credit than good. I hope this post will help someone make a conscious decision before choosing to apply for a Best Buy store card.

I purchased a laptop and was told it would be delivered by Saturday... not "maybe" by then but that it "would" by then. It didn't come in and when I called the shipper, we found out Best Buy shipped it via Standard shipping so it couldn't be guaranteed. I needed it by the day they promised for a work trip and I won't have it by then. This could have been prevented had that chose a different, more appropriate shipping method in line with what they promised.

Bought Samsung Note 9 in February 2019 after extensive questioning as to ability to move to a different carrier. In September decided to move from Verizon to Xfinity Wireless, which uses Verizon towers, not accepted on their network. New manager at Best Buy offered to buy back phone I spent over $800 on 7 months earlier for $200. Will never do business with them again and neither should you.

If I could rate them with zero I would. I purchased wireless earbuds from Best Buy and they were horrible. Sad thing is, their policy is you only have 15 days to do a return. Who knew that they would have such a company-friendly policy - one that will negatively impact the consumer, unless of course you spend a certain amount to qualify for their 30-day return policy. Anyway, I tried to work with the manufacturer who sent me new replacement buds and they too were defective. I, in good faith, tried to get this to work out with BestBuy even if just for a store credit, something, but they stuck to their policy with no consideration for me. Now I'm out the money. Do not buy from these people. Buy from a company that has a reasonable return policy and an understanding that sometimes it takes more than 15 days to determine if a product is defective. Again, please don't waste your time or incur the aggravation for yourself.

I made 7 attempts to find the price of reinstalling a small home theater Best Buy sold me and installed a few years back. They absolutely refused to quote a firm price on all attempts. Finally a special advisor arranged a home consultation to look at the system, agree on the packages I needed to buy that would cover the entire installation, and take my order. When they got here the first thing they said-- "We can't quote any prices, only say whether we can or cannot do the job." So they again evaded and white-lied about the real question of pricing in advance. They want "outs" so they can add surprise add-ons for each setting, each plug in, from $50-$150 at the time of installation when the customer is most likely to agree to anything just to get things going. Same old BB double-talk as previously, only refined. **

One delivery person distracted my son while the other shoved the washing machine quickly into place denting the side. I was called and offered a gift card if I kept the dented washer. Fortunately I declined. When I got home and looked at the back, it was dented from top to bottom. The metal was pulling away from the body of the machine. The damage happened before they arrived at my house.
After I took time off of work and waited 5 hours for a replacement washer they called to say the truck broke down. After speaking to the store manager and someone in customer resolution, the choices I was given were to take another day off of work, pay them extra to get a set delivery time, or return it. To return it I have to take a day off work and wait for them to come get it. Amazingly deceptive business practices and the customer service is laughable. I will look into my options of canceling the credit card charge and shoving the washer outside so they can pick it up at their convenience during one of their six hour windows of time. I would have attached a receipt except it is unreadable and the sales person said he could not reprint it. Should have known then this was a mistake.

I do not recommend setting up any sort of online account with Best Buy; especially a business account. From day one our account did not work and no one could tell us why. Finally, decided to create a new account - to apply for tax exemption. The account was set up via phone with a BestBuy agent. - The account I created, let me repeat, I created this account - female - for the owner of our company - Male - Also my father, so same last name. I was able to login to my account, but was unable to do much as it asked me to "complete the account" needing a member-ID. First call was 10 minutes after establishing the account. The agent I spoke with, I am not sure she even knew she worked at BestBuy - asked me questions actually. The next day I was transferred a total of 15 times. Yes, I spoke with 15 people within an hour. Not one of these "agents" knew how to assist me and continued to transfer me from department to department.
Now the kicker, two of these agents refused to assist me because my name was not on the account... the account I created for our business that the 13 other people I spoke with had no problem assisting me with - although unsuccessfully. One of them actually refused to transfer me to a supervisor because my name wasn't on the account, and when I said it was for my personal account still refused and then would not provide his identification #. Here I am 15, 17 including the two the day before, BestBuy agents later and I do not have an answer and am absolutely blown away by the incompetence and lack of customer service.
I will NEVER, EVER, EVER purchase ANYTHING from BestBuy EVER again. I will also be sure to post my experience on every review site I possibly can... simply because I was treated terribly by all but two of the 17 agents I spoke with. For the record we service a very wealthy population who we refer to BestBuy regularly - I can guarantee we will NO LONGER DO THIS. I will do my best to ensure that no one I come in contact with purchases from BestBuy. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD, BY FAR.

Ordered a dishwasher for my 80 yr old mom and paid $159.99 for installation. When delivery came, without seeing the current dishwasher, the installer began telling me that the new dishwasher probably wouldn’t install without extra revisions, which he could take care of at extra charge. Once he came into the house and looked at the dishwasher, “Yep, this will need extra installation items that would cost extra $.” We sent him away and my husband went to buy a $5 adapter that the installer should have had since this is a common fix.
The installer was telling us he needed to remove and replace the plumbing valve and rewire the area to plug the dishwasher into. Neither were needed. We had it up and running in 30 min. Makes me FURIOUS that had I not been there, the installer would have taken advantage of my elderly mom and possibly have caused extensive plumbing damage to her home. My understanding is that when you pay for installation, the fee covers installation! BEWARE buyers!!!

This review was written by my husband, as I was too frazzled to even think. Worst Buy at Best Buy. After an hour the sound on the “LG UBK80 Blu-Ray Player” we had purchased went wonky — deteriorating gradually to static and remaining discordant noise for over a minute thereafter. No big deal. Bad products happen. Now for the fun part: Four days later, we were in Durham and took the DVD player with us to return, but our brake warning light and then alarm went off. We decided to high-tail it back home, 60 miles north.
My wife calls the Best? Buy today to explain why we couldn’t return yesterday, and suggest that we return it in about 17 days, the next time we have doctors’ appointments in Durham. Worst Buy tells her that their policy is firm, written in stone and carried from the mount: 15 Days from the date of purchase, or you eat it! We offered to mail it to them at our expense. No Go. Rules is rules: read the fine print. Now, we must drive 120 miles to get our money back. And no, we’re not going to simply exchange it as originally intended. No way. And they could never compensate us for my wife’s hour and a half of absolute anguish.

My food got spoiled because I emptied my fridge at 2pm (because if they arrive and the fridge is not empty, they can leave). First thing the next day, I patiently waited my hour in line and they told me that I needed to re-schedule and they will deliver the fridge 3 days after. Why I needed to re-schedule if they didn't show up? Well, they can't leave the fridge on the truck so they returned to Orlando.

I purchased a LG Refrigerator from Best Buy in August. The same refrigerator was available at other stores but I chose Best Buy for the ability to specifically schedule the delivery and haul-away due to my work schedule. Additionally, my wife and I have two month old twins so we had to plan accordingly for a working fridge. The delivery was set for 8/26/19. Prior to the date, I called to inquire what was required of me to prepare the old fridge for haul away. The old refrigerator was a built-in so I assumed I needed to perform certain steps for haul away. I was informed that it had to be disconnected and taken out of the built-in space.
I disconnected the water supply, removed all front panels and moved the refrigerator to the center of the kitchen. When the delivery team arrived, they took one look at the fridge and said they could not take it away due to the size. I was informed me that a four-person team was required. There was no mention of this when I called to find out all the details needed for preparation. The new fridge was not delivered on 8/26/19 and the old fridge remained disconnected in the middle of my kitchen.
The earliest Best Buy could get another team out to the house was three days later on Thursday, 8/29/19. My family, including 2 two-month old babies, would use a cooler over the next three days. I confirmed multiple times with Best Buy that it would be a four-person team completing the delivery on 8/29/19. Regardless, a two-person team arrived AGAIN. The paperwork clearly stated that a four-person team was needed for the delivery and haul away. There was no apology and Best Buy pointed fingers at the delivery service. Vice versa, the delivery service said Best Buy did not schedule it correctly. I had no choice but to accept the new fridge that day due to our need of having a working fridge. However, we had to live with the old fridge sitting in the middle of the kitchen until the haul-away could be coordinated for a third time.
This is entirely unacceptable. While customer service was accessible over the phone they did little to remedy situation. The haul away was rescheduled for Tuesday, 9/3/19 between 7:00am and 7:41 am. The team arrived at 8:30am. There was no call in advance with an ETA or an explanation for the delay. Subsequently, I was late for work. Again, no apology or accountability from Best Buy or the delivery company.
I was informed that Best Buy and I could discuss compensation for the errors and inconvenience after the fridge was delivered and the old one taken away. I called the Customer Service Representative and was offered a $75 Best Buy gift card. This compensation that was not worth the aggravation and inconvenience of taking off work and not having a working fridge for three days. I did not accept this meaningless gift card and I should have ordered from Home Depot or any other reliable retailer that offered the same fridge. I will no longer be a Best Buy customer and will continue to share my extremely unpleasant and unprofessional experience with Best Buy to all friends, family and internet reviews.

The stove was back ordered, but the other appliances were delivered on 5/29/19 and the stove was delivered and installed on 6/10/19. We noticed after installation that the right door on the refrigerator wouldn't stay open, so when you tried to access or stock food, the door would hit you in the back (Samsung confirmed this is a problem). We contacted Best Buy and they sent out a Samsung repair man. He looked at the door, told us that model always has that problem and it's as good as it gets. Since this is a $2500 refrigerator, 'as good as it gets' isn't appropriate! We contacted Best Buy again, and they sent out another service person who noted that the doors were not even. He tried, but couldn't get them to be level.
Also, he couldn't fix the door closing problem. After the 2nd failure to fix the door issue, we contacted Best Buy again, and our issue was escalated to mgmt (Michael and Kinice). Kinice said they should have done an exchange, and she processed that. On 6/29, the replacement fridge was delivered, and it was damaged inside. The delivery man made note of the damage and called his office - they put in for another replacement. That was scheduled for 7/3/19, but was cancelled at the last minute - they just discovered before delivery that the unit was on back-order. On 7/7/19, fridge #3 was delivered, but the delivery man told us to not accept the unit as the door seals were damaged. He contacted his office, and they AGAIN scheduled for a replacement and we kept the damaged unit until it could be replaced.
On 7/13/19, delivery of fridge #4 was scheduled. We received an email that the delivery was 30 minutes away so we (yet again) emptied the fridge, but then they never showed up. We contacted the store, and they said the unit was back-ordered & didn't know why we weren't told. On 7/25/19, 2 months after our order, the next replacement fridge was finally delivered AND properly installed by a local Geek Squad employee - the first Best Buy employee that actually put a level on the fridge and knew how to make sure the doors worked.
During removal of the last damaged unit, the delivery crew scratched up our front door and damaged our front sidewalk. They also removed the door hardware from our rear door, and just left it like that when they were done. Now another month has gone by and we're waiting for Best Buy's delivery company's insurance agent to contact us to fix the damages that they left. This has been the worst appliance experience we've ever had, and we will never purchase appliance from Best Buy again because of their poor handling of delivery, 'professional' installation, and repairs on damages.

He handed us the promo print-out along with the receipt. Mind you that Samsung is top of the line and certainly is more expensive than many other brands.

Lying to customers in order to score a sale is a scam. I hate being hustled. I'm not gonna let this slide without consequences.

Do not I repeat do not do the price match guarantee!!! WITH "WORST" BUY!!! If they price match an 3400 item from another store (say a Samsung refrigerator) and say LOWE'S has it in on sale for 1900 at a 4th of July sale or LABOR DAY sale or something, and say a week, a month or 6 months later the item malfunctions. "WORST" BUY will cover the warranty and replace the item under the WEAK SQUAD protection plan, but if you've remodeled your whole kitchen with high-end appliances be prepared because they will not give you a replacement item of what you thought you've purchased is WORTH, but they are going to look at the PRICE MATCH you got in the beginning and only give you a little cheap 1900 fridge. Guess what? You might as well have purchased the one that's on sale somewhere else???? Best WORST BUY.... that sounds like bait and switch to me????

I went in and bought a laptop that was on sale. The salesperson said that it was a good model but it isn't. It barely works and has a ton of strange glitches like it will just do completely random things while I'm typing, sometimes it won't turn on at all. The model is ASUS X555Q. I think that they were just trying to get rid of defective merchandise by putting it on sale.

Don't get the protection plan, they don't honor it. I purchased a 50-inch Samsung TV in October 2017. So far, I've had the Geek Squad to repair the TV 4 TIMES, and it's still not working. One of the tech LIED on the report. I called them again to ask for a replacement and they want to send another tech. NO! I'm never dealing with Best Buy or Geek Squad again. 1000 bucks down the drain...

Bought a 4K TV from Best Buy which was ready to be shipped to our home right away, but they upsold the warranty and install and said they would deliver 3 days later and get it installed. The day of the delivery, their MV office refuses to provide the product to the installer (Best Buy's own third party install vendor) and then sends an automated message to me (the customer) that you need to go online and reschedule your delivery. No further info provided. We spend the entire day Tuesday speaking with floor managers in Irvine, CA location who finally explain what happened and that they are sorry. No communication was made between Best Buy and the installer prior to the appointment time to update product availability or warn them or US of any issues.
After spending hours back and forth with Irvine, CA manager, we get a reschedule for today and this time the product is to be picked from the Tustin, CA location. The same episode repeats again where Best Buy refuses to release the product to the installer resulting in a cancellation of our appointment AGAIN. No communication is made by Best Buy or their Irvine or Tustin managers to US the customer of the latest issues. Upon spending the entire morning calling between Tustin and Irvine and speaking with random managers, it is revealed that the system was NOT updated yesterday to change pick up location from MV to Tustin (despite us spending many hours on the phone with managers who continued promising a resolution to us)--> what does this prove? INEFFICIENT PROCESSES, SYSTEMS AND EMPLOYEES at Best BUY who are the WORST at customer service.
They have no sense of urgency, DO NOT learn from their mistakes and continue torturing their customers with their inefficient practices and lack of communication skills. For a retail giant, BEST BUY sure SUCKS at customer service. You are IN business cos of your customers. If you are going to continue to display such incompetencies, there will be NO customer. Have never dealt with such incompetent people who lack the basic concept of COMMUNICATION. PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL YOUR COLLEAGUES AND STOP DEPENDING ON AND BLAMING COMPUTERS FOR ALL YOUR MISSES!

I have always been wary of purchasing any technology at Best Buy. When my son needed a replacement laptop, we decided to consider Best Buy, since we were looking for a refurbished Apple laptop, and with Best Buy being a certified Apple Reseller, we didn't think what we were getting would be defective. BOY WERE WE WRONG!!!! The laptop was shipped to our local store for pick-up. When we brought it home, it would not start up, leading us to think the operating system wasn't installed. No problem, my husband used to be a Mac IT guy and knew how to do that. He couldn't even do that because THERE WAS NO HARD DRIVE IN THE COMPUTER!!! The product we ordered was a MacBook Pro listed as having a 320GB hard drive, so of course we expected that we would get what we ordered.
My husband went back to the Best Buy where he picked up the laptop, and was told they couldn't do anything since the laptop had been purchased from another store. However, he was told he could purchase a new hard drive and have it installed. My husband said that there was no way he would do that since he already paid for the hard drive as part of his purchase. The customer service guy he dealt with also happened to be the manager and said he couldn't do anything more, because that is what he was told to. At any rate, we were still able to return the laptop. Best Buy tried to only refund part of the money because of some "free" software on a disk that was included with the order, which by the way wasn't in the shipping box. (My son also told me that when he and his dad picked up the order, the box was already open.) Eventually, the full amount was refunded.
What makes me so angry is that customer service wasn't even concerned that a defective product was shipped. There was no effort to go above and beyond what the store manager was told to do by the higher ups. I know that the Geek Squad at Best Buy is now an authorized Apple repair service, and the customer service guy could have brought one of those guys over to help. He could have also called the store from where the defective computer was shipped. At least we got our money back, but my son is still without a laptop for school.

Purchased a product recommended by sales staff due to lack of other product availability. They stated to "try it" and if it doesn't meet my expectations return it and upgrade. I stated I'm out of the country for a couple of weeks but will try it upon return. The product didn't meet my expectations. I brought it back to the store fully packaged and wanted to upgrade. Because it was just over 15 days they refused. Bottom line to their bottom dollar is I will never shop at Best Buy again. I was at that point attempting to make a $1000 purchase on the upgrade. I walked out never to return. If brick and mortar stores want to survive in this economy, they must provide better customer service. Places like Costco appear to be doing very well!

I've bought a built-in oven with the installation. I needed to make two thin cuts to fit the new oven in the cabinet so I made myself sure that the installation I was paying was covered. The company has implemented a systemic method to deceive consumers about delivery dates and services. The installation process is a corrupt operation. The installer will missed appointments, and when showed up late he didn't want to do the job making excuses to charge additionals. I had to pay $200 for an installation that was included. I also have the transcript of the chat with the sales agent when I confirmed this.
The installer said, “I have to charge you but you can claim to this number and they will immediately refund you to the credit card.” I'm sure you can imagine what happened right! The 1-888-Best-Buy would better be renamed to 1-888-just-die because that is what will happen to you after hours and hours of waiting for someone to pick up. If you are patient enough to watch the grass grow and seasons pass at the phone, they will eventually take the claim, act surprised, and say the magic phrase, “Your case number is XXXX. We will call you. We are very sorry we are experiencing a high volume of calls for several months.” So many months--that is incredible. It is also incredible that the case doesn't have a follow-up. Isn't this a great way to avoid responsibility?

Went to Best Buy to change from ATT to Verizon and possibly purchase a new phone. Price of a new phone was too high so we opted out and just changed carriers. At first it went smoothly, but then went south. Salesman said having trouble activating. Called Verizon and put my husband on the phone and grilled him. Had to give his full Social Security number 2 times, and still nothing was resolved. Salesman couldn’t ever look us in the eye. After 2 1/2 hours the only solution was to purchase a new phone, and miraculously the phones started working. So beware of these practices.

I was there today and can suggest one reason many customers are unhappy. Service! I took back an UNOPENED and SEALED software package and they refused to take it back as it had been longer than 15 days since I purchased it. First of all, they still carry the item and it would have been good PR (and no loss to them) to have allowed the return and put it back on the shelf. Secondly, even though their policy is to only accept returns for 15 days, a reasonable customer would assume that referred to an OPENED software product. Third, even after explaining to the person said to be the manager (Travis) that I live a distance away and it was inconvenient to return (I was nearby today and could stop in), that did not persuade him.
Finally, I have been a long time customer with loyalty to Best Buy as my “go to” electronics store. Never more! Even as I expressed my dismay to Travis that I would not frequent Best Buy again, he said “do whatever you want”. What! Not even sorry to lose a customer! Poor service and poor selection of managers! And to go further, I couldn’t even find a way to directly complain on the Best Buy website, despite logging on with my customer number!

This is ridiculous how they treat customers after you made the purchase.

I am extremely disappointed in Best Buy’s return policy. I purchased a GoPro remote as a gift for my husband. I did this at least one week before the celebration as I was not aware of the 15 day limit. By the time he opened it and thought it through, he decided it wouldn’t get used enough. So, I went to the store with the receipt. I waited until after vacation and arrived 21 days after my purchase. The item was in the original box and had not been opened. All the associate would do was repeat “Unfortunately, you are past the return period”. I was not even offered store credit. So, I’m stuck with an expensive item that we do not need.
This makes no sense. How are you supposed to buy things ahead anymore? How hard is it to prominently print the return policy in bold font for consumers to see under the purchase total of the receipt, not at the bottom amongst other words and in vague verbiage? Better yet, be great at customer service and give a first time “offender” a warning and take the item back. Require them to register in order to track their future purchases and returns for your benefit. I am sad and frustrated. As a result, I have shopped at Best Buy for the last time. P.S. - Anyone need a GoPro remote? *Naturally, they didn’t look into the fact that we bought the GoPro there, along with other accessories. Why would they? So disappointed!

As of this morning I was sent an alert by Equifax that one of my accounts had increased in value. I panicked thinking someone had hacked into one of my cards. It turns out that my Best Buy account had gone from $1,315 to 1,626. Called Best Buy immediately to find out that a fridge I had purchased in 2017 was under a promotion and that promotion was expiring on June 27, 2019. The promotion was that if I did not pay off the fridge by June 27, 2019 I will get the balance and the interest added to my existing account. Since I was making the minimum payments, I had not paid off my fridge. I was caught totally unaware.
I know I bought a fridge. But I have no recollection of the promotion and the terms of the promotion. Upon studying my bill, I see the promotion is listed on the 2nd or 3rd page of my paperless bill. I pay my bills the very day they are received in my email. I look for minimum payments and dutifully submit those. I find the bill that Best Buy has designed is to make customers fail to meet the promotional requirements. If Best Buy had added that to my minimum amount due I would not have been penalized and by now would have met my financial obligations to Best Buy. Had Best Buy sent out alerts telling me I was behind on my promotional payments even though I was on time with my regular payments. Had Best Buy added a line to the bill stating minimum amount due with promotional payments, I again would have met my financial obligations to Best Buy.
As a customer I dutifully paid my minimum payments on time. I have zero recollection of the promotion even though I know I bought a fridge from Best Buy. Maybe the sales person sold me the fridge and gave me the impression that it will all come out in my minimum payment due. Whatever the case may be, BEST BUY needs to rethink the way it bills its customers offering these promotions. I feel these promotions are designed to make customers fail so Best Buy can make money. Shame on Best Buy!
