    I recently bought a PC at the local Best Buy and I was happy from the overall experience. The staff there helped me find what I was looking for and were overall helpful. The PC itself is great. I have lots of fun playing all the games I have installed.

    During installation of a vehicle remote start unit, the Best Buy Geek Squad Auto Tech ran my truck into the shop wall. The manager on duty and insured me that they would repair my vehicle, ended up causing $4,800 worth of damages. Best Buy's insurance company, Sedgwick, refuse to pay all the expenses. I had to pay $500 out of my own pocket to get my vehicle fixed that Best Buy damaged. Thanks Best Buy (not)!

    Bought a PS4 back in June 24, 2018. In March 2019 I made a payment of $1,500.00. Now I'm getting hit with a $500.00 interest fee if not paid by the 17th of this month. I called to dispute it, they told me that I can make monthly payments on the penalty. I never chose the 12 mo. no interest plan. I never do because I know it will all accumulate by the 12 mo. I will be canceling my card and boycotting Best Buy for good. I guess I'm going to drive to Fry's Electronics from now on. One more thing, calling corporate will transfer you to Citibank. LoL

    I ordered a laptop from Best Buy 2 weeks ago. They promised the item by July 10. On both July 8 and 9 I called and expressed my concern that I had not yet received a tracking number for something coming so soon. I was assured that it would come on the 10th by both associates that I spoke to. On July 10th I received an email that the item was delayed and could take another 4 weeks to arrive. To make a VERY long story short, in the end I wanted to cancel the order. I could get this laptop elsewhere faster, and I needed it for a son going away to college so I could not wait 4 weeks. After HOURS on the phone with inept employees (several of whom disconnected me and I had to start all over), I got a SUPERVISOR who told me she had successfully canceled the order. Thus, I went ahead and ordered the same laptop elsewhere.

    I then received the order cancelation email and, to my surprise, only the warranty plan I had purchased had been canceled, not the laptop. Back onto the phone for several hours.... I am told they CANNOT cancel the order for the laptop because it's "too late". Had they not lied to me and told me it would definitely come on time I would have canceled it earlier. They left me NO window in which to cancel this order and on top of that a supervisor erroneously told me it had been canceled leading me to buy elsewhere and now I have 2 expensive laptops coming and I only need one!

    The level of ineptitude I experienced with most of the associates was beyond belief. The ones who were at least polite and tried to be helpful were bound by Best Buy's "system" that left them no room to do anything with any order ("the system won't let us"). There are many more details to how horrible this experience was but I will spare you the diatribe and stick to the highlights here. NEVER AGAIN!

    I am so disgusted with Best Buy, you buy a protection plan for your phone so in case you break or lose your phone it can be replaced. My phone was damaged and it needed to be replaced so I called our local Mankato, MN store and was advised that we needed to call the Geek Squad 800 number, I call that number and the representative tells me that I need to go into the store, that they no longer deal with damaged/broken phones, she then tries to send me to Richfield, MN which is a 2 hour drive, not happy. After talking to her she finally sends me to my local store, but before I go into the store she needs to schedule an appointment for me. I go into the store and they advise me that it is going to be $200.00 dollars to replace my phone, again I was not happy with that.

    The replacement costs just keeps going up every year. You pay for a protection plan and then you still have to pay to get the phone replaced, and that is not all, then you get a refurbished phone not a new phone. But it does not end there, now they tell me that I have to wait 10 days to get my phone replaced. How can I be without my phone for 10 days. I need it for school and work. After this I will be taking my business elsewhere. Horrible customer service.

    I bought 3 new phones from Best Buy this past weekend at the Paramus, NJ Fashion Mall location, and had a great sales rep. Jordan help me with my purchases. He offered me ways to get more for my money and helped set up my phones. Unfortunately, one of the phones was back ordered but he had it shipped to my house. I asked him if I could bring it back to have him set it up, but he was working in the day and I couldn’t come till after work. He said don’t worry, somebody would take care of me. So I went the next day and a sales rep named Jessica reluctantly helped me. When I told her I needed my daughter’s phone setup up she said they didn’t do that and that we could do it ourselves. I told her Jordan did it for me the other day, which she then went and talked to someone and she returned and offered to help. Again, with a stink face.

    So while she was doing the setup we walked around and she came to us and asked us if we had a SIM card, and we said no, that Jordan just put it in. After she finally finished we asked her to put the screen protector on for my daughter, since Jordan had done the others. She said there was a $8 charge to do that. At that point I had enough and took my stuff and asked to speak to the store manager. She responded with a cavalier attitude of “go ahead, my manager will say the same.” As I walked away she acted like she could care less. Bryon, the store manager needs to straighten his staff out and explain customer service to his staff because With service like this, Best Buy will be joining NOBODY BEATS THE WIZ, Crazy Eddies, Lafayette and Radio Shack!

Then after I complained they told me the Device was recently discover was in fact Defective and to return it and no longer use it. Both, Best Buy and GreatCall misled us and gave us a false sense of security and emergency help when needed that was all false. The they issued the recalls and took it out of Best Buy stores, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Ebay, Walmart, took it off the online site and even Amazon. Falsely telling people it was sold out? Not true. It does not work and is on recall.

    PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU BUY AN APPLIANCE FROM BEST BUY. Unfortunately I made the mistake of purchasing a 65 inch Samsung TV from Best Buy last July. At the same time I also purchased a two year extended warranty. About 3 months ago the picture would go black then come back on again and then go black. In addition to going black, it also was very fuzzy and the picture had lost its sharpness.

    I started out by calling Best Buy in Mission Viejo since the set was under the 1st year factory warranty. Unfortunately Best Buy believe it or not has only one phone line into their store. The average wait time when you call the store for anything to talk to a human is approximately 20 minutes. When I finally reached a live person they told me I had to contact the Geek Squad to take care of my problem. When I finally reach the Geek Squad they told me I had to contact Samsung.

    I then called Samsung and had wait again to speak to a human. When I finally spoke to someone they told me that I would have to contact the Samsung service company to have them come and look at my TV. I contacted their service company (Service Quick) and made an appointment on 4/16/19 Cox came here several times and proved to me it was the TV not their service and their people were great. I have nothing but good things to say about the Cox technicians.

    Samsung servicemen did finally come here. The bottom line they claim that it’s Cox causing the problem not the TV. They said they couldn’t do anything but they took videos of the TV and they said they would send it to the Samsung engineers and they would get back to me and 2 to 7 days to tell me whether there was a problem with the TV or not. Three months gone by, never heard from them.

    Bottom line The Geek Squad has been here 6 times. Three times because the TV will not connect to the WiFi system and three times because the picture goes black. Even with the 2 year extended warranty, with 6 visits by the Geek Squad they will not replace the TV. They have replaced the Mother Board twice. Replaced the cable. Replaced the chip and have downloaded the latest Samsung software. Geek Squad Visits- 4/23/19 Replace cable, 4/27/19 Replace Mother Board, 5/04/19 New Chip, 5/17/19 Another new Mother Board, 6/19/19 Download new Samsung Software, 7/1/19 7/1/19 This visit again for the 3rd time confirmed I could not connect to Wi Fi Unless the TV was rebooted.

    Last Friday I went to the store and spoke to the Back Office Leader (manager). He would not give me his last name. I demanded a new TV. He said to me in order to replace it (Ca. Lemon Law) they had to come to service the same issue 3 times. He claimed I had only 2 visits to correct the Wi Fi issue. I scheduled another visit for yesterday. They came yesterday and played with the software for over an hour before I asked the technician to leave. They have done this several times already. When I called the store today I spoke to Blaine. He told me that he would not replace the TV because I didn’t let his man finish playing with my TV to complete the 3rd visit on the same issue. Not what he told me on Friday.

    BEST BUY’S POLICY ON SERVICE Bottom line: Buy all your appliances from Costco, you will never have a problem with them replacing anything. At Best Buy If you purchase an extended warranty from them they will never replace your item. They will just keep coming back and try different approaches not to replace the appliance. If you don’t buy an extended warranty from them, the factory 1 year warranty only will pay for parts. Each time the Geek Squad comes to your home they will charge you $100 minimum for the visit. If you need parts there are free, but they will charge you labor fees to install them in addition to the $100 minimum.

    We purchased a TV at this Best Buy. We bought a protection plan, because we were told "it covers everything. If your kids put a broom handle through it it's covered." Well guess who doesn't want to cover accidental damage now? (After outright LYING TO US and getting us to hand over an extra $300!!!!) Not only that, but there is literally no way to call the actual store. I have called the "number" a dozen times and it just reroutes you to a robot or the national customer service line. I want to speak to the STORE MANAGER. Apparently the Best Buy in Warwick is cool with their employees lying to customers to sell protections plans. Awful. Will never shop and Best Buy again. Stay away if you want honesty.

    They broke it but cheated me on replacement. This was in 2005, I bought a Lenovo and paid $1,084 for it. 2 years later I took it in for a HD replacement. In the process, they sent a screw into the keyboard. They admitted it, but then told me the rated value was $490. So I had that for credit instead of them buying me a new one. Sadly I let this happen, so I am writing this as a warning. If they break it DEMAND A NEW ONE. If they refuse PROTEST in the front. Make a fuss, demand they replace it for free. Don't ever trust these scumbags.

    I went to Best Buy yesterday to buy Windows 10 for my laptop because somehow my Windows 7 got corrupted and would not accept the Windows legally purchased key. When I made my purchase of the Windows 10 software from Best Buy I asked if this would work on my laptop and was told YES. Well after opening the Windows 10 package and tried to install it on my laptop a pop up came up and said it was NOT compatible with my laptop. I went back to Best Buy today to buy a new laptop and was looking at a couple that would work for me. Then I was corralled by a floor salesman and was directed to the very high dollar units. I told him I would buy online. I then went to the service counter and asked if I could get a refund for the Windows 10 if I was to buy a laptop from Best Buy, or would I have to eat the $150.00 The counter person called her manager and after 15 minutes I was told NO. I never did see the manager.

    So I went across the street to Walmart of all places and bought the computer that I wanted and an adapter for my projector for far less money than Best Buy. Now I have $150.00 Windows 10 software that I cannot and will never have to use. By the way the adapter at Best Buy was priced at $49.00, and I bought basically the same adapter at Walmart for $20.00. Buyer beware. Best Buy is not your best choice for any purchase.

    Tyler, TX: I bought an expensive home video camera that would intermittently stop working. I took it in seven times and they continuously gave me the run-around, and had the nerve to act like I was trying to scam them. They sent it off a few times. No one was really looking at it because you had to play with it for about 5 minutes for it to malfunction. They insinuated that I was trying to scam them to get an upgrade. Finally, a friend of the family worked for a Best Buy in Houston, and from there they noted the malfunction. If we had not known someone 200 miles away at a Best Buy, they would never have stood behind the product and they would have continued to act like I was a con artist.

    Many years later I decided to give Best Buy another chance, and so I bought a Samsung tablet. It was a Note tablet, and the writing app constantly malfunctioned. Once again, they pretended like nothing was wrong with it and that they weren't going to do anything about it. When I demonstrated the malfunction, they shrugged their shoulders and said it was nothing. Once again, they acted hostile towards me, as if I was a scam artist. What I deserved was to have a full refund, and then buy whatever I wanted, somewhere else.

    It was unbelievable that these sketchy Best Buy employees were looking down their noses me; but this is how they treated everyone, hoping that any customer with a defective product would just go away and take a big hit in the pocketbook, just to please these shady people. Luckily for me, there was a Samsung kiosk in the store, and I showed the problem to an honest person, and she backed me up against a dishonest Geek Squad and the extraordinarily rude Best Buy personnel.

    If I had not bought the warranty, I would have been totally out of luck on a faulty tablet. I did upgrade, but I had to pay for the upgrade out-of-pocket, for several hundred dollars. Why they begrudged this, I cannot guess. What they really owed me was my money back in cash. The Geek Squad assistant manager became angry when I refused to purchase another very expensive warranty for the new tablet. He acted shocked and angry, as though I had just pulled a major scam by not spending another big handful of money on another warranty with them. I explained to them that I was tired of them trying to get out of their warranties and if this tablet failed, so be it, but I will never trade with Best Buy again.

    It has been five years, and I have never bought from Best Buy since, and I will never purchase anything from Best Buy again. My personal feeling on both of these events is that they went beyond immoral behavior, and were actually somewhat evil in their manner, demeanor, and their treatment of an innocent patron spending relatively large amounts of money to buy high quality electronics from what was supposed to be a reputable electronics department store.

    I purchased replacement cartridges for my HP printer. Dual pack cost $57.14 (incl tax). Get home open the box, insert the cartridges into printer and get 'bad cartridge" message from printer. After talking to HP support it is determined that the black ink cartridge in the twin pack is bad, even though it is brand new. Today (one day after purchase) I return the cartridges to Best Buy Culver City Center (where I bought them) and I am being told by customer service that once the package is opened the store can no longer accept it back. I ask the lady how am I suppose to know there is a bad cartridge inside until I try them first? Her response: "I am not here to argue with you! I am telling you that's how it is!"

    Say what? Who is arguing? I was only asking what I believe to be is a fair question: how do you know something you bought that is supposedly brand new is bad or doesn't work until you try it? And how can you try it until you take the item out of it's package? Bottom line, no refund. $57.14 down the drain and have to deal with a store rep with bad attitude on top of that.

    We used a Best Buy credit card to make purchases over 8 years ago. Purchases totaled $3500. We paid $100 a month since then and still owe $2500!! So we have paid $9600 for items that are not worth $500 today and still owe $2500. So in total right now we would pay $12,100 if we payed to total balance. I told them we felt we have fully paid the debt and then some but they still want the remaining $2500. Surprisingly they don't want the 8 year old TV in return for the $2500 to be removed. Stupid on my part for signing up for a credit card. Very expensive lesson. We spent $4000 at best buy last year alone on other items and paid cash so we felt we're still good customers.

    We asked Best Buy to come to a settlement and they said "sure - give us $2500 and it's settled." I was scheduled to get a radio system installed in my truck this weekend for $1500 but have decided to cancel this as well. It may not hurt Best Buy's bottom line but it's about principle now. Would have hoped a BILLION dollar company would be fair and work with us but $2500 must be worth losing good customers over.

    Permit me to begin by saying that the online Geek Squad, together with American Express and one of my banks, saved me from a Ransomware attack in 2018. Even though I had great security subscriptions, I had messed up and the crooks got through. I paid the ransom, and American Express reimbursed the amount and issued a new card. The bank checked to make sure none of my accounts had been ransacked. The Geek Squad representative, whom I had called in desperation on my TracFone and explained that I was in the midst of being bamboozled on my iPhone. The online representative patiently walked me through the steps of backing out of the issue and clearing all the infiltrated data. And fortunately, I had backed my data up only the day prior.

    For this reason, the establishment of trust, I phoned Best Buy to ask if they could recycle one of my old laptops (yes they could), and if they could remove the hard drive before recycling (they don't usually do that but if I could bring it over, Danny would be happy to do that for me and he would be there until 3PM. It was now 11:30AM and I told Danny I would be right over. Is this an appointment?

    When I arrived with the recyclable laptop and its power supply, I could not get past Mark at the Geek Squad front desk who, without any shred of courtesy or even civility, informed me that if I did not have an appointment I would not be able to receive service. While I stood there trying to explain the situation, I was simultaneously listening to a lady who had a different issue and was receiving the same treatment from Mark: "no appointment, we can't help you." Mind you, there was not a single person waiting for service, only five empty chairs. "First appointment is at 12:00". I said, "Okay, I'll take it. But the Geek Squad is going down. And you are in serious need of some customer service training."

    At this, Mark disappeared from the Geek Squad desk and a young man appeared. I asked, "Are you Danny?" I was so grateful to hear him say, "Yes." Danny went straight to work removing the laptop hard drive while explaining that recycled computers are usually handed in at the Customer Service desk but he was doing this as a favor because it something they don't usually do. So now I know. Danny completed the work in less that 30 seconds. Mark offered an apology. I accepted his apology but informed him that I was still going to write up the experience.

    In business, it is always great to know of a reliable source for a variety of needs. While the Geek Squad telephone Help Line may have performed superlatively, thus easily selling me a one year additional security subscription, I would not recommend depending on the Geek Squad on-site. If you are determined to use the Geek Squad, be sure to make an appointment (online of course, and if your computer is down, how is that possible? Phone lines to the local Geek Squad ring until you are disconnected). Happy Trails.

Customer goes to local store to buy $200 earphones for planned run. Earphones are out of stock in local store, employee Armin suggest ordering from store and receiving in 2 days. Customer inquires on stock in nearby store. Employee Armin says, "No it's out of stock everywhere, you can only order it to your house or pick up at store." Customer inquires on other alternatives with similar features. Employee Armin suggest there are no alternatives. Customer decides and relays message to order pick up to prevent theft of item on arrival at house and customer pays.

    Employee Armin passes receipt and Customer inquires on pick up details. Employee Armin realizes error in not checking pick up option and apologized and transfers Customer to Employee Raphay. Employee Raphay suggest cannot cancel or change order to pick up at store and Customer must call customer support. Customer denies and Employee Raphay calls customer support. Meanwhile Raphay calls customer support on behalf of Customer. Customer discovers item is available in another location from phone search. Moving on Customer suggest refund and going to other store, Employee Raphay suggest this is not possible and Customer's only course of action is to wait for email detailing cancellation or change to order pick up. Customer feels defeated and leaves.

    Now as I left I thought, what the heck? Best Buy is a billion dollar company, they can’t give me a $200 return so I can go spend my money at another one of their locations! And hold on a second, their own employee messed all this up and gave me misinformation. Now I go home and wait days for them to clear this mistake and lose out? What the heck! Do you feel my anguish here. Why does the customer have to take the full blow of the employee's mistake and secondly the organizationals structure. I went back and spoke to the manager and Raphay again stating I couldn’t leave with that resolution as it pained my heart and ruined my day. My day is not important to anyone else but myself but respect for my money under the laws that protect us in this country should be taken very seriously.

    I went to the manager and it was disappointing to realize at some point, hey this guy does not have the power to give me a refund, I am a Software Developer so I understand transaction based systems to a degree. My assumption here is that the Best Buy organization is set up in a way to prevent even the Manager being able to override certain transactions and give refunds for one off situations like this and hey as an organization I get the restrictions okay. The only comforting thing in this was realizing the other actors I could actually relate to as humans, the employees Raphay, the manager who's name tag I didn’t see and someone else could see how this totally human situation was made that much more painful by this organizational structure which ultimately is what I am attacking and hold accountable for in this article.

    Why should I pay reparations in time or money for an error caused by you the company? To finish this off, I will say Raphay was so fantastic and incredibly patient. I try to stay calm and just get through it because it's truly NO ONE'S fault. The manager offered me a $30 credit for what happened right away, which I didn't understand, $30 is nothing compared to the situation and what was going on. I did not appreciate this nor did I understand why you can give a credit for $30 but not the full item price and deal with the cancellations independently?

    The final resolution is that now I am simply to wait for an email that will tell me if my order is cancelled or if it is for order pick up. If it’s for order pick up, great! I go in on Tuesday and get it. If it's cancelled, I go in to the store and get a refund plus a new gift card. I don't know when the email will arrive as well! So I guess I’ll wait a week and if it doesn’t show up go back. One thing's for sure though. I won't be running today.

    My iPhone 7 battery was dying. Apple referred me to the Geek Squad. They agreed to replace the battery. When the battery replacement was complete, the fingerprint reader was not functional! After further examination, the Geek Squad told me they'd accidentally torn a small cable connecting the fingerprint reader. Don't worry, the GS representative told me, "We'll give you a brand-new display." An hour later the representative told me they'd tried to reassemble using a too-large screw which had stripped-out the circuit board, ruining the phone. "Don't worry," the representative told me, "we'll replace it with a new phone from Apple."

    Several days later, I learned from the Geek Squad that it would be a used, reconditioned iPhone, not a new one. The used phone might have been even older than the phone they broke. I walked into Best Buy with a pretty good phone, and I walked out with a broken one. How would you feel if I broke your phone and then told you I would only replace it with a used one?

    Bought a drone at Best Buy. When I attempted to activate it, learned you can only do so by buying flight insurance (per flight) which comes to about $10 an hour. Apparently, this is a new thing applied to drones due to their popularity. I would like to have known this before purchase, but not strictly Best Buy's fault. But there was no way I was going to incur the additional expense, and decided to return it. Because I was a first time drone buyer, I felt somewhat insecure about this uncharted territory.

    I was told during the sale, however, that if I returned it with the package already opened, I would be charged a $15 restocking fee. Fair enough, I was willing to take the hit if I decided it would be too steep a learning curve. Upon returning it, however, was told the restocking fee was $60. It goes by a percentage of purchase price. Surprise! So I basically set 60 dollars on fire for absolutely nothing. I most certainly would not have bought something that would cost $60 to return. Anything that can be bought at Best Buy can be bought elsewhere, which is what I plan on doing in the future.

    I just want to make it known that I just spent a few different days at the Best Buy Store located at 5051 East Ray Rd., Phoenix, Arizona because I was getting a new phone & couldn’t decide so went back a few times. I have purchased the majority of my phones there however not once a year & this last time it had been 2 years. They truly remembered me, greeted me as if it was just yesterday. One person remembered my name and honestly to get to the point - every single person went above and beyond and always does. They are so professional, so knowledgeable. I can’t begin to describe how the process was so efficient & smooth and this store/department is lucky to have such awesome employees and even better the longevity/low turn over says a lot about their manager and the store manager.

    I checked online for a keyboard, for a Microsoft Go cover. The website showed 1 available. We did not reserve but drove over. We went to the store in Barrie ON but the staff member said that he couldn't find any as this item was one of the products that had gone missing. We assumed that he meant that it was misplaced but he returned to tell us that this store had a theft problem and this item was likely stolen.

    He said that living in a crime city like Barrie, the less products on display the better as people in Barrie steal things. I told him that I won't be shopping in a store where theft is such a problem that it affects what information displayed on the web, could be or might not be accurate. He said that due to theft I should either reserve or call ahead. His words were "you guys" steal things. I told him that I will be shopping at Staples from now on. He said that he came from Staples and they had the same problem. Best Buy, you might have a training issue. Ok, I guess Amazon, here I come.

    I am writing on my experience of the delivery I had yesterday May 8, 2019. We had bought a Maytag washer from Best Buy and the experience at the store was awesome but we were told that when the guys came to deliver our washer they would have no problem taking our old washer out into my garage. Before they delivered I was called and was asked if the place was cleaned up for the new washer and I said, "No. I was told that you could take my old washer out in garage." He told me it would cost me $20.

    The delivery of the washer was not only rude but they smash my dryer vent which cost me not only $50 but they also told me that I had to change my faucets and it wouldn't be very much at all to fix it for the new washer which resulted in a $319 charge. After they left there was a leak with my faucet. I was expecting it to be an easy day and the guy even said that, "I guess you thought it would be an easy day?" And I was like Yes!! I been without a washer for almost 3 weeks. I know that issues arise but this was sheer laziness on their part of not helping. Whatever happen to service?? I was very disappointed with everything that happen yesterday. :(

    I was attempting to return the cable at the return counter. There were two people at the counter. I was several days late for the return policy. (BB policy is much shorter than most). One of the two at the counter said it should be fine. The younger guy had to go in the "back" to ask a manager. He came back with the manager and he said he would not accept a return. The box was opened, but the cable was in perfect condition, still wound, like new. He said since it was open, no dice. I told them it was ridiculous. We spent $275 that day. They did not give eye contact, they did not care at ALL about me as a consumer. I said I doubt I would be returning, and the one young man said that was fine. Really? We have spent thousands of dollars at BB. Never again. For a $23 cord - and a $275 purchase, which included $20 extra for a warranty.

Took the phone back today, LESS THAN A DAY LATER, and was told sure it could be returned BUT he would be charged $35.00 for bringing it back!

I left without doing any more than my purchase. I thought about it but put it out of my mind. After a while I had several incidences with my current cell phone provider. They lied to me.

I spent 2 hours on the phone rescheduling for a few days later. again I changed my schedule to be home, received 3 emails that they were on their way and they again NEVER SHOWED UP.

    This resulted in 4 hours of phone calls and being placed on hold. I was hung up on 4 times, transferred to the wrong person 5 times and I still don't have a dryer, and nobody can tell me where it is or when it's being delivered and they won't offer any compensation beyond 'after it's delivered maybe we can do something for the inconvenience'.

    AVOID THE MURRAY, UT LOCATION! I am still fuming from the poor customer service and dishonest employees all the way up the chain to the deceiving manager at this location. I have never had such an unprofessional experience like this in all my years shopping at Best Buy! We went in to buy a vacuum, a washing machine, and a dryer. Simple right?!?! The next three hours were hell! We felt like we were at a dishonest car dealership dealing with car sharks! We were dealing on a set of floor model washer and dryer. After promising us the floor model discount plus 20% off, which was a promo they were running, plus delivery we said that we would take the appliances. Then we were told that they decided that they can't deliver them because they were floor models. There just happened to be signs everywhere saying free delivery on appliances over $399...

    We were spending over $1300 including the vacuum!!! And they can't deliver?!?! We asked to speak with a manager thinking that he would side with us... Well... what happened next was mind blowing!!! The manager came over and told us that not only are they not going to deliver, but they are also taking of the additional 20% they promised us!!! Mind you that we have been there negotiating for 2 hours at this point... new born baby crying and two little girls, 5 and 7, running around. The manager was very demeaning to my wife as she was trying to explain that we were promised the %20 with free delivery. Best Buy always delivers! It's what the company is known for! FREE DELIVERY!!! It's all over the store!

    They finally agreed to deliver the washer and dryer but they would not honor the %20 off they promised. The manager and respectfully turned his back on us several times and walked away during this conversation. After almost 3 hours we were finally walking up to the front of the store to make a purchase. That's where we found out that they were running another promotion. If we take the appliances with us the same day as purchased they would knock $50 off the price! Where was this in all of the negotiations earlier?! However, now that three hours of negotiating had happened we don't have time to go get a trailer or another vehicle to haul the appliances before the store closes!!! How hard is it really to live up to your promises!? Best Buy, you promised us 20% off and free home delivery and then took those away after we said you've got a deal!

    Our current situation is the washer and dryer are paid for but are still at Best Buy waiting for us to come back tomorrow to pick them up and bring them home. However, we now lose the $50 promotion because we're not taking them home the same day of purchase!!! I wish the story ended here but it gets much worse... While we were walking out of the store we heard several remarks from the employees of the store putting us down and telling others that they were sorry that they had to deal with customers like us and our children! One of the employees even said directly to me, "I'm sorry you have to put up with a wife like that"!!! All we wanted to do was to buy a washer and dryer and a vacuum! Simple right?!?!

Went to my home office and proceeded to open the package (you know the hard plastic package with no open instructions) by cutting along the top of the package to expose an opening so that I can get the mouse out. For some odd reason, it was not cutting too easily. After stopping to see why, it turns out that the cord was looped around the top and the scissors had caught and cut it.

    So I'm thinking "What a lousy package" thinking that Best Buy would take responsibility for such a shoddy package. Guess again, they would not take any responsibility at all. Kind of explains why Amazon is kicking their proverbial backside. So, I decided to contact customer service online.

    I bought three Inspiron 15 7000 gaming computers in December 2017 for my sons from Best Buy with 2 years warranty. Within four months I had to bring all three laptops back for technical issues. It is a year and four months later. Between the three computers, I had to bring the computer laptops in five times. My advice, DO NOT BUY ANY COMPUTERS OR ANYTHING COMPUTERIZED FROM BEST BUY unless you are financially stable and can afford to burn money. The GEEK department sucks. $800.00×3 + $199.00×3 for 2yr. warranty for each laptop. I AM PISSED!

    I recently purchased a new home. The sellers transferred a Geek Squad protection policy to me for an LG fridge about 3 weeks before the closing. On the day of the closing, the sellers informed me they had a Geek Squad repairman in to look at a problem with the freezer. The repairman told them it was just a bad setting, there was no issue with the freezer.

    Three days later, there was a huge puddle on the kitchen floor - all the ice in the ice dispenser had melted. The setting on the freezer said -6F, but the freezer was barely cold at all. I called the 800 number for the Geek Squad. After being transferred 4 times, and being told they would not help me because I did not have the unit's serial number handy (I did have the Geek Squad protection policy number), I finally managed to reach a human being. He asked me for the phone number for the original purchaser! How in the world would I know that? He told me he would not be able to help me without that phone number. I told him I had Geek Squad protection policy number, and he replied "that will work". It's as if they try everything possible to avoid helping customers.

    I asked for a service appointment on April 8, the following Monday. He told me he could only schedule the next available appointment, for April 6. At the time, I had a crew removing the popcorn ceilings in the house, and that project might not be done by the 6th. He said he could do nothing but schedule the first available appointment, but would transfer me (yet again) to "a Geek Squad special forces member" who would be able to schedule me for the 8th. Special Forces guy could not schedule me for the 8th, because the first guy had already scheduled me for the 6th (after I told him that date would not work for me), and special forces guy did not have the authority to cancel the other appointment. I ended up taking the appointment for the 6th, and asked for the contact phone for the repair guy. Special Forces guy gave me the 800 for LG service dispatch, since "we just sub the jobs from them anyway".

    30 minutes on the phone, transferred 5 times, spoke to 2 different people, and could not get an appointment at a time that worked for me for the *second attempt* to fix the problem. IMHO, the Geek Squad Protection policies are useless. Very difficult to get an actual human on the phone, you can't get the appointment time that works for you, you have to do it at Best Buy's convenience, and after all that, they sub the job out. You're better off not wasting money on their protection plan, save the money, and if the unit needs repairs just deal with your local appliance repair guy.

    Was waiting for a new fridge on a Tuesday and was given a time table of 8-12. Got all kinds of texts saying the fridge was on its way. Turns out the fridge is out of stock, or at least that is what I was told. So they don't tell me this until the day of delivery? They didn't know this the day before? Then they say it's going to be at least 2 more days to get a fridge? Because I just have endless time to take off so they can deliver any day or time they want. Terrible company.

    My fiancé had a Compustar Alarm system installed by Pat Best Buy on South Lindbergh on 10/6/2018. Since then, we have had numerous problems and have since had it removed at the Brentwood Best Buy by James on 3/30/2019. Pat and James broke the Bezel in our truck during installation and uninstallation and now Best Buy refuses to replace it. We were originally told by Pat that the truck had no leaks, and that was not the problem for the alarm malfunctioning, and that there were no problems and that it was all in our head.

    When we had it uninstalled, James at the Brentwood Best Buy told us there was a leak in our truck, because the floorboard on both the driver and passenger side was completely soaked. I know for a fact that they did this on purpose to justify the alarm malfunctioning because the floor was not wet beforehand, because I cleaned out our truck before we took it to have the alarm uninstalled. I have tried contacting the store managers at both stores as well as the corporate office with no resolution. This is UNACCEPTABLE.

    In the first week of December, 2018 our refrigerator failed and had to be replaced. On December 15, 2018 we placed an order with Best Buy through the store located in the Glengary Shoppes, Sarasota, Florida. The refrigerator was in a warehouse in one of the northern states. We were going to be out of town over Christmas and we were informed by the salesman that it would not be available to install until January 25th, 2019 and we accepted the delay as we had a second refrigerator in the garage so it was inconvenient but acceptable to us.

    We had to prepay the total cost of the refrigerator and haul off of old refrigerator before they would place the order. On about January 10th my wife and I went to the store and they assured us that the order was being processed and that delivery was as scheduled. As January 25th approached I called to again confirm the delivery. I spoke to the manager of the appliance department and was informed that the order had been cancelled by us and they had refunded the money to my credit card. AT NO TIME DID WE EVER CALL AND CANCEL THE ORDER-THEY CANCELLED THE ORDER AND DIDN'T NOTIFY US. I then checked my credit card statement and did find that they had made a partial repayment but not the full amount.

    After getting no satisfaction with the department manager and not the courtesy of returning three phone calls. We wrote to the CEO of Best Buy and once again to this date have not received any communication from his office. (The letter was sent certified mail and we received the green card back that they had received the letter). I would hope that the corporate office would at least show some concern about the poor customer service the Sarasota store has. About a month later we did receive the balance due us on the purchase price. We have given up dealing with Best Buy and placed an order for the refrigerator with another store in Sarasota.

    I purchased a Maytag Washer from a local Best Buy here in Corona Ca. on February 25, 2019. The delivery was set for 2/27. The Geek squad driver Raul arrived on time for the delivery and installation. Raul looked at the water valve in the wall. He said the cold water valve had a leak. He said that I needed to get the leak fixed before he could install the washer. Raul said, he could drop the washer in the garage and I could call back to reschedule the installation once the leak is fixed. I told Raul to take the washer back, I would get the leak taken care and reschedule the installation.

    After getting a minute leak fixed, I reschedule the installation for 3/2/19. The same driver Raul showed up on time for installation. He looked at the hot water valve this time and said he could not install, there is a water leak. I knew, there was no leak. I told Raul to place the new washer in place and haul the old washer. I will install it by myself. The tune changed. Raul repeated more than one-time saying, "You know this is my second time here. You need the washer hooked up." At this time I realized that something not right here. I am a 68-year-old fellow and someone is trying to take advantage of me here. When I told Raul that just leave the washer and I will sign for the delivery. He then said he would install it but don't let the company know. The washer was installed and Raul said everything was fine. There was no leak. He made me signed the paper works and left. I felt that Raul was giving me a hard time because of my age and my Indian nationality.

    On 3/3/19, I called Best Buy and reported the incidence. I spoke with Cherry at full length. When finished, Cherry gave me case #**. As of today, March 26, I have not heard from Best Buy. Because of this incidence, I will not purchase any large appliances from Best Buy in the future. Consumers, look out so that you will not go through what I did.

    Purchased two 7" and one 8" Kindle Fires a month ago. Guy at Best Buy asks if I want the extended warranty. As always I ask what is covered since I would be getting these for a 4yr old, 5yr old and 7yr old. He says, "If within 2 years anything happens we will replace it for free." I ask specifically (I have been in customer service most of my life so know what to ask), "So even if they break it or get water in it at any time I will always be able to replace as long as it is within 2 years?" He said, "Yes exactly". Normally I'd up and buy protection plans but since the grandkids were so young I knew they would have no problem in the 2 yr time frame of us having to buy another one. I purchase 3 plans, one for each tablet and was given a receipt for the purchase and nothing more.

    Today I bring one of the tablets in because the plug part was broken and it wouldn't charge (mind you it has been less than a month since purchased). I was told by the associate, yes we have to go ahead and exchange since it's cheaper than repair. I said well ok since I have the extended warranty. She then asks if I wanted to buy yet another warranty for that tablet since it was being exchanged therefore closing the warranty. I was LIVID, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

    Then I was asked if I had the power cord to which I replied no as I thought it would be fixed. Not exchanged. She says, "Well we have to charge you for a cord." Ok now livid doesn't compare to how I feel. Needless to say they didn't charge me for the cord, did do the exchange BUT I HAVE NO WARRANTY OF WHICH I PAID FOR A 2YR WARRANTY AND NO ONE SAID WHEN I PURCHASED THIS WOULD BE THE CASE!! I asked the associate at the time it was purchased. "Now this is good for 2 years and there is no hidden agenda here with it?" He laughs and says no 2 years no matter what!!

    Honestly, I wouldn’t even give them 1 star. I ordered a NordicTrack S22i bike from there on March 5, 2019. I paid over $2200 for the bike and an additional $250 for the delivery/installation. We agreed on the delivery date of March 13th, which I thought was a fast delivery time, even for Best Buy. That’s where the customer service part ended and all went to **. When the delivery came on the 13th, only 1/3 of the bike was delivered. It was missing the monitor, pedals, base, dumbbells, and seat. The delivery guy said that the rest would come with FedEx delivery. I waited a whole week with no notice, phone call, or email. I called Best Buy customer service and was transferred 4 times, with each person not knowing where the rest of the bike was located or what happened. Even spoke to the salesperson named Deron, who has the worst customer service skills on the phone. Even the manager, Ross **, was absolutely clueless as to what was going on.

    They told me some ** story how it was a manufacturer defect that parts didn’t come together in the one box it was supposed to be delivered. Then, the salesperson and manager told me it would be another 2 weeks until the bike can be delivered. No discount for delayed service at all, even when asked. I would not purchase anything from this store, especially anything that costs a lot. There are way more stores with a hell of a lot better customer service and business practices than this store. DO NOT BUY HERE. You will regret it or basically not get what you paid for. This is the worst Best Buy, always long lines, nothing in stock, and delayed delivery times.

    We ordered a Premier 6 burner stove. The first delivery date was pushed forward by a week, as the stove was not in the warehouse after it was confirmed it would be delivered the next day. Upon receipt of the stove we realize the top grates were incorrect, and the oven door glass had slipped out of place. After several phone calls, we were advised to return and exchange, but the delivery would be another 4 weeks out. (We are now without a stove for 6 weeks). The day prior to the delivery we were informed that the return & exchange would be delayed yet another 2 weeks. I contacted the stove's manufacturer, who was very accommodating and immediately mailed us out the correct grates and explained how to fix the oven door. (For $2,000 we should not have to fix it ourselves.)

    Finally after a month we get the stove hooked up. Upon trying to turn the oven on, the knob disintegrated in my hand. I immediately called Best Buy to cancel the return & exchange, and just return the stove for a refund. No less than 8 phone calls were required to make this happen. It is apparent no one at headquarters communicates with each other, and just tell the customer what they think they want to hear. Finally one man was able to make the whole process happen for us. The stove was picked up by the GREAT delivery guys 2 weeks later. We received our refund and it was $115.78 less than what we paid for the stove to begin with.

I have a 5 year warranty with them! They told me it’s a new policy as of 2019 (even though I purchased in 2018). I asked what the purpose of selling me a warranty that I couldn't utilize and she said she had no clue and hung up on me.

    Best Buy delivered a defective oven to my home. They use a terrible delivery service who at first refused to test the oven to ensure it works, then left the defective oven at my home rather than returning it. This led to hours on hold and in frustrating conversations with unhelpful and sometimes rude people from both Best Buy and the delivery company trying to arrange for a replacement, and when unsuccessful, ultimately a return. A return pick up was scheduled and the unaccountable delivery company never came, never called.

    More hours spent on the phone that didn’t lead to any more help or resolution. Best Buy has lost a customer for life as this has been one of the most negative shopping experiences of my life. My favorite moment was when a phone agent told me I can’t complain about the oven not being picked up on the scheduled day because the fine print says they can’t always guarantee their appointments.

The truth of the matter, is that they will only install if the water and gas fittings will fit the hoses.

Please note if you are installing a washer and dryer in a new house you're will likely be fine, but for a house over 10 years old you should expect to call a plumber as well.

    I have been using Best Buy for major purchases for a few years now. I have bought everything from televisions to kitchen appliances here. Unfortunately, they just screwed me over. I ordered an oven. Great, I put it right on their credit card! My oven is broken, I need it, and it will match the dishwasher and refrigerator I already bought from them. But then, several days later, I got a text: oven won't arrive for over 7 weeks. So I call, and ask if I'm paying on the credit card now. I mention that Home Depot can bring it this week. I say, “I might need to cancel, is my credit card being charged while I wait???” Well, they looked up if my credit card was being charged right now, before install: it was. Also, they cancelled my order because I mentioned Home Depot could bring it sooner!

    I told them I did not want to cancel my order - they said, “Go back and order it again.” I politely said okay so as not to be rude, went back online. HOW CONVENIENT - the price had changed $750 on the same oven. So now, I have a cancelled order and the oven I need is much more expensive. I call to get my old order price matched. They absolutely refuse to do it. I've called 3 times now and escalated it up the management chain. Will they honor the price that I was given? Nope, they won't honor my price, and they won't bring it for at least 8 weeks now. They say, “Too bad, so sad, you shouldn't have inferred that you might want to cancel your order, that gave us enough reason to cancel it.”

    Well, now I'm not only cancelling my order, I'm cancelling my credit card there, and not using them to put in the appliances for the new home I'm buying. Why didn't they honor my price? They're getting 5 figures from me in credit card charges! Why did they cancel my order when I said I just wanted to know if they could bring it any sooner? Why is management so rude to me? I'm really displeased with their attitude, I've been nothing but polite. Apparently I was too polite, and should have made a stink the very first phone call, instead of being nice.

    On the other things I ordered: of the 4 major items I have ordered in the past 2 years, all appliances have been repeatedly put off for installation, and I kept being told it was the manufacturer, not Best Buy. I'm not believing that load of nonsense anymore, and moving all of my business elsewhere, as a different store said this manufacturer is always on time. Buyer beware. When they schedule you on that great deal, they won't honor the time frame for installation. They also might just cancel your order and then not honor the price of the item at all!

Instead of telling me to bring the DVD player to he store and they would work with Sony to repair it, I was told to contact Sony and go through that process to get it repaired.

    I have purchased 5 new Mercedes vehicles in the last eleven years, and never been told to return the car to the manufacturer to have it repaired. I have purchased electronics from Brands Mart, and the few times I needed repairs to be made, they told me to simply bring the unit in and they would work out the repair with the manufacturer. I'll be shopping Brands Mart from now on, even though Best Buy is a few blocks from my home. Lesson learned.

    I called Best Buy on Lancaster to see if they had QuickBooks 2019 Desktop Pro which they had in stock. While I was on hold the phone message stated that they would meet or beat any price. I brought them the website price for Costco at a $149.99 while their price was 300. They insisted that there are 2 versions of QuickBooks Pro Desktop 2019 which I find unlikely and refused to meet the price.

    Purchased a remote start and installation with Best Buy in Annapolis, MD. The tech installed the remote start and when I picked my car up, there was a service light on inside my Honda Pilot. I immediately walked back inside to tell the tech what happened and he acknowledged that he saw the light come on while he did the install but he was not sure how to fix it. He attempted to google it, but he said I would need to take it to Honda to figure out what is wrong. Honda told me to take it back to Best Buy but Best Buy repeated to take it to Honda, so I am getting the runaround.

    Meanwhile, the remote start stopped working altogether, but then it started without provocation IN MY GARAGE. I have a wife and 2 small children and if that happened in the middle of the night, with the garage door shut, who knows what would have happened. Luckily, I heard something and immediately opened the door to save a potential disaster. It starts on its own frequently now, so we are not even able to drive it without worrying when it will start on its own. I called customer service and after several hours on hold, they got me in touch with the store manager. He did call me and stated that they are not sure that they damaged my vehicle and that it may have just been coincidence that my car went in without issues and it came out with the service light on and my sensors not functioning. This has been the absolute worst experience I have ever experienced with the purchase of any item or service, I would hate for this to happen to anyone else.

    My wife and I had gone to Best Buy to see what was offered to get a wireless headset to work with my flat screen tv. The salesman showed me a Bluetooth that he said would work with my tv. I explained to him that I wasn't sure that it would work as I had tried a different setup with my RCA output jacks and it didn't work. He told me to give it a try and if it didn't work I could return it with no problem. I couldn't get it to work. When I finally was able to get back to the store to return it, customer service said I only had 15 days to return it by. I explained that I was never told that by the salesman but the manager was happy to inform me that it's in the small print on the receipt.

    I now have a hundred dollar paperweight. I'm not a large volume buyer of their store but have bought a few computers, entertainment items, appliances, and various accessories for the different things. I'm pretty sure they have gotten the last dollar I will ever give them. I was even willing to accept in store credit for the Bluetooth transmitter but the manager refused.

    I ordered a full 3-piece kitchen appliance set on Black Friday of 2018. Delivery took 3 weeks, and the fridge and range we're both damaged on delivery. After 5-10 phone calls, Best Buy agreed to replace the fridge and pay me $100 in gift cards to keep the range. I agreed to this and it took a month and me chasing them over several phone calls in order to get any action. On delivery of the second fridge, the team damaged the item again. After another month of phone calls I was offered a $150 gift card to keep the damaged fridge. I agreed to this but never received the gift card. Instead, they tried to re-send the $100 for the range.

    Just today after several more phone calls and escalations I received a $50 gift card instead of $150. Do NOT purchase appliances from Best Buy. If you have any problem with the order you will have an impossible time trying to get your issue resolved. They do not appear to keep records of un-resolved issues in hopes that you will go away and give up. At the very least, make your order with a credit card that will do a charge-back.

    I placed an order on the Best Buy website for a washer and dryer on 2/20/19. I also purchased the 5 year warranty and the old appliance removal. I was given a promised delivery date for 2/24/19, confirmed by email. On 2/21/19, I received an email to reschedule my delivery. I tried repeatedly to find out what happened, but was bounced around repeatedly to different people. I had to accept 2/25/19 for delivery. Apparently that was not clear, so I received another email today (2/22/19) to reschedule delivery. I called and was rescheduled for 2/25/19 between 12-4pm. 3 hours later I received another email informing me that my order has been cancelled.

    After a long time on hold for an explanation, an associate told me that the item is not available. Both of us pulled it up on the website. Her screen said it was available for delivery on 3/3/19. My screen said it was available for delivery on 2/28/19 or pick up at the Memphis store on 2/27/19. Best Buy wasted a huge amount of my time for something that they could not deliver. Now I have spend even more time and wait even longer to purchase what we need immediately. If something is not available, don't allow a purchase to be made.

    I paid for the five year service plan for my microwave/convection oven. After just one year. The oven stopped working properly. GE device model PVM9179sfss would appear to power on, but the food would not be cooked. Secondly, the fan would turn on all by itself in the middle of the night, and I'd have to disconnect the power to get it to turn off. When I called the Geek Squad, I'd get the total run around. After being on hold for 45 minutes and being transferred three or four times, I'd get disconnected, sometimes it seemed purposefully. I called a total of 16 times and had the same experience.

    Eventually, I went into the BEST BUY Store, and sought to resolve the issue their. However, the employees at Best Buy got the same experience: transferred calls and disconnection. We were unable to book an appointment after being on hold for two hours at the store, and the manager of the store got upset and couldn't understand what the problem was with his own Geek Squad.

    I tried this a second time at the store, using their phones, and we had the same experience: dropped calls, transferred calls, and no call backs. When I tried to locate a number I could call to make a complaint, there was nobody who could tell me who to call. They just loop you back into the transferred calls. It was so frustrating. Eventually after dozens of similar attempts, I was able to book an appointment, and they came to attempt to fix my device. However, their "fix" lasted a week, and now I'm experiencing the same problems again.

    I have gone through the same process for the passed week, and I have been unable to connect with someone who can book me an appointment to fix the device, so I spoke to someone and asked them to just replace the device, but I was told that they have the right to try to fix my device at least three times, before they might even consider replacing it. How ridiculous! I hate this company, and I my next step is to file a consumer complaint. I still have a broken oven, and no way of getting a repair. Best Buy and Geek Squad.

    My son bought a Motorola cell phone from Best Buy for $399 and purchased a 2 year extended warranty for another $124. With tax his total was over $561 for a cell phone. In less than a year the phone started turning off and losing the charge. It would be fully charged and as soon as he would try to use it would go dead and cut off. He went to Walmart and purchased a new phone and I encouraged him to take the faulty phone back to Best Buy and utilize the extended warranty. He was told by the first person that they would either fix the phone or give him store credit and told us to have the Geek Squad do a diagnostic.

    We got in a different line and the Geek Squad said they don't do diagnostic after he's had it a year. He said we would have to file a claim and they would mail a "like new" phone after my son paid a deductible. I said, he paid $400 for a phone and $124 for a warranty and he doesn't even get a new phone? Anyway we decided it would be worth it to file the claim and return the Walmart phone so we came home and went to file the claim and realized it would cost $99 for the deductible! He only paid $129 for a new phone from Walmart but he would have almost $700 in a used phone if he filed the claim with Best Buy.

    He decided to cut his losses and keep the Walmart phone. I would NOT RECOMMEND buying a phone from Best Buy. They obviously don't stand behind what they sell and their prices are ridiculous. If you have to pay $124 for a warranty and another $99 to use it, that's $223 for them to replace the junk they sold you with the junk someone else returned!

I could not even switch it out for another game for the same price for no additional charge or have the option to receive it once it was back in stock. I had asked for same day shipping, the associate gave me standard shipping. Yet the icing on the cake was that the associate had added another item to my cart, that I was already getting for free. So, I had to call Best Buy support back to cancel that item which took about 15 minutes. I understand that people make mistakes but this should not have played out like it did.

I did not install the software (download from internet) and did not scratch off the covering to reveal the product key.

    When I tried to return it to Best Buy, they quickly informed me that software sales are final and would not refund my money even though I had not installed the software or revealed the product key. They did not bother to tell me that the purchase of the software was "final" at the time of purchase but they sure tried to sell me the Geek Squad technical support, which I refused. In summary, their return policy stinks and are obviously not interested in customer goodwill. I am done with Best Buy and they will never see another dime of mine.

    I am completely disappointed with the Best Buy online service. I am a college student and going through a semester right now. studying in a IT course like Big data and having special configuration requirements feels like undeliverable things from Best Buy side.

    I have ordered this (Dell 15.6" Touchscreen Laptop - Silver (Intel Core i7-8550U/2TB HDD/16GB RAM/Windows 10) - English) laptop online because at no point this was available in any of the store. I ordered this twice, first time the order got cancelled after waiting 7 days for it and I am not even being notified about it. I came to know about it when I called up customer service twice to know why my order is not delivered yet. Reason being my debit card, but at least you should notify the customer about the issue whether transaction did go through or not rather than just making people wait. I got my issue solved from bank, ordered it again, transaction also did go through and order showed it in progress too with waiting time for 7 days i.e. from 29th January to 5th Feb (today).

    After waiting for a week, when I check website, it still says shipping in progress, which means Best Buy has not even shipped the order when it’s already the delivery due date. I have my assignments and exams pending just because of this delivery issue. Are they responsible for me failing in my exams and paying off the extra 1000 bucks to pass those exams? Calling up customer support fails because they hang up the call and answer none of my issues properly. After waiting for 15 days too, I have no idea whether or not I am gonna get my laptop or not.

    I purchased a computer at Best Buy in Port Charlotte, Florida. The power cord, in my belief, was faulty, as it didn't fit flush into the jack. As it did power the computer, I surmised that it was how it was supposed to fit. Well, a prong broke off in the jack in less than two weeks of use. I returned to the Port Charlotte store where I was told that it was "consumer negligence" and they refused to process the return. I strongly contend that the cord was faulty and that Best Buy should have accepted the return and returned the product to Lenovo. Not only was I extremely upset that they wouldn't process a return, but horrified with the rudeness and condescending manner of one of the clerks at the desk. I have reported that employee to Corporate and have had the computer repaired and supplied with a new cord, which fits perfectly into the jack, thereby further justifying my assessment of a faulty cord.

    I strongly believe that, as Best Buy refused to issue me a credit or replacement, they should pay for the repair. I have shopped at Best Buy for years, both for the good sales and the 6/12/18 month same as cash policy. However, I will NEVER shop at Best Buy again. This experience was disappointing at best, horrifying, unacceptable and exceedingly poor customer service and public relations, at worst.

    Placed the order for a new Samsung refrigerator around 2018 Thanksgiving with water line install and relocation. There have been 3 attempts at delivery and Best Buy/Geek Squad have managed to mess the order up all 3 times - wasting a ton of my time & energy. I even took the day off on the 3rd delivery attempt to ensure things go right but still there were mistakes done by Best Buy/Geek Squad that resulted in failure 3 times in a row for the same product I ordered on bestbuy.com back in November. The first delivery was set for early December.

    At first attempt (early December 2019) The product was damaged at delivery and hence I did not accept delivery. Talked to Best Buy about this and they were apologetic and told me they will call and reschedule. A week went by and no one called. When I called them, I was told by the agent that the order was marked incorrectly in their system as "Delivered" and that is why they didn't call me to re-schedule. After a lot of back-and-forth they rescheduled delivery and installation to early Jan.

    Second attempt: Come Jan, the delivery guys arrive at the door only to tell me that there is snow on the driveway (while it was snowing) and that they cannot deliver when the drive-way is clear and that this is a safety issue for them. No one had called me earlier and told me to clear the snow. Their argument was how would they know there is snow. I told them that anyone could have looked up delivery address and known that there is snow in the forecast. Yet again spent a considerable amount of time with the Best Buy agent arguing this and ended up rescheduling AGAIN and this time for the Jan 29.

    Third attempt: I took the day off on Jan 29 to ensure everything goes smoothly and I even called Best Buy in the morning to see if there is any prep work I need to do on my side before the order arrives and they said I had to do nothing. The delivery guys (SPO logistics) showed and asked me where the new refrigerator was. I was thoroughly confused since I was expecting these guys to bring the new refrigerator, install it and relocate my old refrigerator to the basement. Instead they told me that the order Best Buy had given them was for a water-line install only and since the new fridge was not already here they left right away.

    Two minutes after, I got another call from another delivery team who said they have my new fridge and the order they had was an "exchange" (install new one and take my old one). I immediately called SPO logistics hoping they would ask their team to turn around and come back to my house (as they had just left) to perform the installation now that the fridge had arrived by another team. SPO logistics declined my request and asked to reschedule.

    Meanwhile the delivery team which had my new refrigerator refused to have the new fridge installed since the water line was not installed and hence did not delivery my new fridge and took it back to the warehouse. This lead to UTTER CHAOS and frustration due to a mistake that Best Buy admitted to - someone on their side had split the order into two parts and gave each part to a different deliver team. Now, I have been dealing with Best Buy yet again for the THIRD TIME to have this resolved with no end date in sight and the whole issue is still ongoing.

    THIS WAS BY FAR THE WORST SHOPPING, CUSTOMER SERVICE, DELIVERY AND INSTALLATION EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. On top of all that I had taken the day off to make sure things go smoothly; so you can only imagine my frustration and disappointment at how poorly Best Buy had dealt with my order which I placed back in Thanksgiving. It has been 2 months now and there is no end in sight. My frustrations with Best Buy continues and I have very little confidence that this will be all done right in the fourth attempt.

I am COMPLETELY offended and plan to let EVERYONE know of his wrong doing! As I waited for my husband to return from the restroom, I was browsing radio alarm clocks. I picked up the first box that was left open and saw it was too big for my liking so picked up the clock sitting next to it and proceeded to read the features of the clock on the box. It seemed to fit our needs and decided to take a quick look at the top of the clock (to check the size).

    Just as I began to lift the lid, ** hollered across the way "what are you doing?" I was taken aback, as he seemed quite angry, as a few employees had already walked by me and didn't hassle me. I told him, "I am just seeing how small the actual top surface of the clock is" when he interrupted me and spoke at the top of his lungs "put it down and never open a box". Meanwhile my husband came from the restroom and heard the commotion and asked if I was ok. As soon as ** saw him, he scooted down another aisle and acted as nothing had occurred.

    I repeated the events to my husband and we decided to find a manager once I got ** name. Unfortunately, we were unable to locate a manager, and told "maybe they are on break". I am completely mortified at ** actions and will not return to this location again! Earlier in the day, we made a sizable purchase at your Clovis location and had a wonderful experience with a very knowledgeable employee **. He was super and I plan to let someone know about him and his kindness.

    Best Buy is where I go to purchase all my electronics. So, imagine my surprise and disappointment when I went to renew my TOTAL TECH SUPPORT pkg. My coverage is about to expire, so I went in to the store with cash. Coverage with Webroot costs $199.00 for a year. So, I pulled out 2 $100.00 bills. They declined to take it. I was told that the purchase could only be made BY CREDIT CARD!!! What?!?

    They attributed that to Webroot, which only accepts credit card payment. So, then I asked to pay just for the Geek Total Tech support. Again, this was declined. I was told that they cannot get past the credit card portion and are unable to ACCEPT CASH for this purchase. WHAT KIND OF FOOLISH BUSINESS MOVE IS THAT??? There are many customers who do not have a credit card. What??? Is cash no longer king?! So, all of you cash buyers beware, they will take your money for a purchase, but, then you will not be able to obtain the Geek Squad Total Tech protection!

We have a camera at the door so we know it was not stolen at delivery. They keep asking for Additional days to look for item. 5 days has become 20 days.

    Serious mishandling by their insurance & BB after water damage! They caused water damage at our place. WE bought dishwasher and microwave. And they dropped dolly, that caused few tiles cracked. 1.5 months later adjuster came. Missed pictures. Then after 3 months we get no response. Their supervisor asked us to call our home insurance company and then our Home Insurance to deal with them. But that don't seem right. And then they wanted adjuster to visit again coz it was delayed.

    He comes again 3rd Jan and accepted that he missed many damage and after that it's 18 days and no reply. Best Buy has no role to fix it. This incident happened on Sept 9th 2018 and it's 5 months almost. We called consumer forum and they said they are private company and they can't touch them but did tell us going through our home insurance company was not right way! Legal is the only way to deal with them. And for people out of country, can land in super harassing situation. If you had fixed it yourself and sent them bill, they may or may not address it. And after 2 times visit of adjuster they are unable to reach a final offer. Please stay away from them. If you have time read the reviews on their forum and will realize they are mishandling customers!

    We purchased an exterior camera for our home, the sale was great and available at Home Depot, Best Buy and Lowe's, and we chose to order thru Best Buy. They accepted our order and said would ship soon, after that we did not get any shipping advice and we kept checking and one day on our order it shows as cancelled. Yet online there shows stock available. We contacted Best Buy to get this fixed and no response. And now item is not on sale anywhere, if they could not deliver they should have said so upfront and why can they not deliver when they in fact have stock. Communication is horrible and the lack of customer care is horrible and not supply customer with product is horrible.

    I will never purchase anything at Best Buy anymore as there are lots of alternatives out there and I will recommend the same to my friends and business clients. It is now my mission to stop people from purchasing anything at Best Buy until such a time as they change policies and make things right with consumers. We have final vote and only through voting no at their cash register will we affect change. I have a email trail to support this claim as completely true and accurate should anyone need to see this which shows transactions, my efforts to communicate and price paid on sale and order acceptance etc. Come on Best Buy step up and be a good vendor.

So after sitting on hold for 45 minutes I get someone named Nathan and he scheduled me for a Tuesday (3 days later) for service. I called in the afternoon because I wanted to make sure they were still on schedule! No. I have no scheduled service for this!!! I get a Supervisor Jessica and she tells me no service call is scheduled. NOW I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL FRIDAY!!! THIS IS NOT ANY WAY TO RUN A BUSINESS!!! RUN FROM BEST BUY!!! Do not buy or get a service contract. I do not recommend this at all. So you have a house with no fridge for 8 days??? This is not acceptable.

    I will also contact the BBB about this. I cannot say enough that this kind of service is a total waste of time. What are we all paying for if you cannot get service? To be forced into some contract that is worthless? I could have bought a new fridge and had it delivered and installed before the service department could even look at it. I am sure they will come and tell me "we don't have the parts or they will order a new fridge and it will be delivered in a week or two." Give me a break. A very, very, very unhappy customer. I would not buy again from this place!

    Last night, 1-14-19, I went onto the Best Buy website to research laptops and printers. I went through multiple menus and selected the items. I wanted to purchase, placing them in my cart ready to purchase. I went through the menus to complete sale and set up delivery. Entered payment information only to be halted, pretty much at the very last step, the website telling me that my chosen password was not suitable, even though their own "security meter" read off the scale, I was still told that it was "unsuitable" and after all the time invested, I was unable to complete my sale.

    I wanted to share my experience with Best Buy, so this morning, 1-15-19, I took the time to contact Best Buy by telephone. That in itself can be problematic for me as suffering with a neurological condition, I sometimes, with or without warning, I lose the ability to talk, but I wanted to proceed and share my experience. After all, without customer feedback, how can companies gauge how they are doing? I was passed off from different employees, 3 times. Had to endure a barrage of questions, even though I very clearly stated exactly what I was calling about and who I needed to speak with. One of the CSR's did not know, he stated as such, what CSM stands for!

    After being on the TELEPHONE for 15 minutes, I finally was able to talk with a manager. At least she called herself a manager. Although, when I explained that I wanted to comment/complain about the experience both last night and so far this morning, instead of trying to seize the initiative, which as a CSM she should be more than capable of completing, she wanted to pass me off to someone else. I hung up! So, all in all, I still did not complete my purchase. I was not even able to share my experience, as far as I know. Finally, Best Buy lost a $1500+ sale last night and a future CUSTOMER going forward.

    I purchased 9 televisions from Best Buy for a commercial application. I was offered a five year Geek Squad service/warranty for a very good price. I took the service contract. Within 3 weeks one of the televisions failed. I contacted Geek Squad to either have the TV replaced or repaired. When they arrived on site they told me that they would not service the television because it was mounted too high. I told them that the salesperson knew that it was a commercial application and nowhere in the agreement did it say anything about where the TVs were mounted or that it was my responsibility to get it to the floor.

    They left. In about a week, parts arrived for repairing the TV. My salesperson said that he would take care of it. No one came out. I was promised that it would be fixed. Again, no one came out. I contacted the salesperson again but this time he stopped responding to me and only said that they would give me a refund. I have received a partial refund for the television but no one will come to either replace the TV or to fix it. What good is a repair contract if the company won't actually do any work or service?

    I have a 12 year old car and for Christmas my family bought me a new car stereo with a prepaid installation package, for $180 on sale. They were assured that all I would have to do is make an appointment at a separate Best Buy location for the installation. Today (January 14) I called to schedule the installation, and was informed I must purchase specific "parts" for $200 first, and choose one of two dates in February and March for the appointment. I tried to call customer service at the Best Buy in West Hartford where the stereo was purchased, but no one answered the phone and after ten minutes, I hung up and drove there, unopened stereo with my name on a store pickup sticker on the box and the original receipt in hand.

    First, they claimed I was at the wrong store location. I showed them the receipt. When I inquired about whether the parts had inadvertently been left out, I was informed that they were not included in the original "install package" and do indeed cost $200. I explained that I do not have $200 and my family was lead to believe that everything needed was paid for, having provided the year, make and model of my car to the salesperson. At that point I requested either a discount on the $200 parts or a refund for the stereo and install package. Randall in customer service said that all he could offer was an exception to the holiday return deadline that had passed 2 days earlier, and provide a store credit. I declined that offer and again requested a simple refund.

    Randall repeated several times that he was making an exception for me - no apology, no acknowledgement of Best Buy's error, seemingly no comprehension that it makes no sense that I got a gift with hidden fees costing more than the gift itself, and he claimed to be "the current manager of this store." Another employee (Mike) then offered to contact a different level manager who was scheduled to arrive in an hour. Well, she was in a meeting, running late, etc. and finally one hour and 46 minutes later I got a call that she approved the refund I requested. Seriously - all of that time and trouble and arguing over one $180 stereo that I'm certain Best Buy could care less about, but was useless to me without spending another $200 that I don't have and that my family was not made aware was necessary. I have been a customer for 20 years. No more. Should rename the store 'Worst Buy'.

    I purchased a set of earbuds just after Christmas December 27th. I actually bought two pair. One of the sets would drop the audio whenever I looked to the right or raised my arm. The sound was intermittent. I took the defective unit back to Best Buy in Conroe Texas for an exchange. All I wanted to do was exchange the defective unit for one that worked properly. I spoke to a very irritating young man who told me an exchange was not possible because "it was not allowed in the system". I was advised to call the manufacturer and see if it could be replaced under warranty. I disagreed, I bought the product from Best Buy and I expect them to honor the sale and exchange the product. I was told I had an attitude. I stopped and told him to call his supervisor. When his supervisor came up he wasn't much friendlier than the first guy. Basically I was told the same thing, "Contact the manufacturer".

    When the "system" creates chaos, ill feelings and unethical practice by a retailer, it's time to re-evaluate the "system". I'll never spend another dollar at Best Buy as long as I live. PS. I did contact the manufacturer and they are willing to replace the defective product. In the end I got what I needed. If you need to purchase products that Best Buy sells, take my advice, go anywhere but Best Buy if you expect customer service.

I really don't think I will be doing business with Best Buy in the future. I've been a loyal customer for many years with them.

    As a My Rewards Elite Plus member, I ordered a $3,000 Samsung washer/dryer set. On delivery day, Best Buy showed up and said they could not find a parking space, so they left. I live in the downtown of a major U.S. city, so delivery trucks never find a parking spot. They usually park in the street and complete the delivery. My immediate calls to Best Buy resulted in being transferred repeatedly, many times to areas that could not assist me. When finally speaking with someone, they said that the truck could not return because it was 40 minutes away, even though only about 10 minutes elapsed since the truck left.

    I unsuccessfully called numerous times to reschedule the delivery for that day or the next, having conversations where Customer Service Reps treated me with condescending attitudes. I eventually canceled the order and purchased the same set from Grand Appliances who bent over backward to deliver the units quickly and at the same price as Best Buy. I followed up by sending a letter to Best Buy Customer Relations. They sent a form letter asking me to call their general "Customer Service" number, which I had already called repeatedly. I followed up with letters to executives Shari Ballard and Trish Walker. They never replied. I then sent a letter (with copies of all previous letters) to CEO Hubert Joly. Again, no response.

    I would appreciate anyone's time to read or share my story below. I do not want to see this happen to anyone... I know it's long but cray. I removed the names because I do not want to burn anyone. I recently did an online order for an iPad and picked it up in store on 1/5/19. Upon returning home and attempting to set up the iPad I got to a Remote Management Screen that stated Costco was in control of the iPad. I called Apple Support and tried for 50 minutes to figure out why to no avail. It was then I decided to drive back to the Chesterfield, MO location.

    I was greeted by security at the door who tagged my box. He said to take it to Geek Squad. I showed GS what was happening. The gentleman that helped me made sure he had one in stock. At that point another gentleman came up and was asking me questions. I understood most of them but started to feel interrogated a bit. Fine, I understand he was doing his job. He disappeared into the back for about a half hour as I stood at the counter. Another employee asked if I was being helped, I said I guessed so and he said he would check on it for me.

    He came out and said the other man was checking to see if it is a stolen iPad. At this point I really started to feel like the man thought I was trying to pull something. Keep in mind that when I picked up that iPad I also purchased a $400 pair of Bose QuietComfort headphones. I wanted those with the iPad as I leave for Iceland this week.

    The man returned from the back and said he could not take the iPad back as it is not the correct iPad. He said it was an iPad used by Costco. I explained to him I understand, but I bought this sealed box from your store. I have nothing to do with Costco (Sam's Club for me). He asked me if the wrap on it was Apple - I have no idea. I opened it with my car key like the other 10 Mac products I have opened. He told me I was in a holdover pattern till Monday and he would call.

    I called customer service who told me to go back to the store and call them on 3 way. I explained I just spent an hour there to no avail and was told that is the only way to resolve it. She told me she would give me a number. I asked her to email it to me as I was driving and was told that she could not, I asked if a supervisor could and was said she could not.

    I waited till 1pm CST on 1/7/19 for a call and did not receive one. I called the store and was told I would want to talk to ____ and that he closes the store that night and will be in at 3pm. At 8pm last night I still had not received a call from anyone. I called the store and asked for ___ and described him (50 year old ** male with braces, pretty identifiable) and the guy acted like he had no idea who that was. The gentleman last night, ____ I believe went looking for a manager but there was none there he said. He was helpful though and said he would put a note on __________ desk with my info and that he was in at 7am.

    I waited until 10am this morning, 1/8/19, and called the store and asked for ___. I was told that both managers are busy but _____ said he did email Apple the serial number to trace it. I was told by Mandy that someone will call me today. I called at 4 pm today, 1/8/19, _______ answered again and I told her I had not received a call and asked for a manager. The manager is on lunch and she said he would call me as soon as he gets in.

    I have been a loyal customer for 22 years. This is the second iPad I have bought since November. I bought my MacBook there. I am not trying to screw anyone over. I just wanted a working iPad for my flight. I have spent over two hours playing phone tag with the store, wasted an hour in the store and can't even speak to a manager at this point. Unfortunately this is a big issue. I leave for Iceland in 2 days. I have waited for the product I bought from you since Saturday. I dug out the wrapper from my trash even if it is requested.

    We tried to return the iPad again on Wednesday with the cellophane and in the end Brittany was asked to leave the store. I received an email today from corporate, the FIRST time they have contacted me since the ordeal began, and was told I will not get a refund nor an exchange. They said they have traced back the iPad and that it was sent by Costco to a 3rd party company to refurbish... How the hell do I intercept that one???

    I just wanted to pass this along because I feel that if someone can buy a sealed package from any store, and the contents are wrong, that the store should at least give basic customer service and in the end make it right. I ended up buying one for my trip and videotaped me opening it just to be safe. That is pathetic but who would have thought it would have happened the first time… Shout out to Best Buy for the screw job!

    As a rule: DO NOT SHOP AT BEST BUY, NOT THE STORES, NOT ONLINE, JUST AVOID. Its only value is to test out a product, anything you like you can find with less hassle on Amazon, directly from Microsoft or from Apple. This is a rule I didn't follow because Webroot is a Best Buy software product. They gave me a free 6 months and convinced me that I should buy an additional year. I did, however they fail to mention that the year long product expires a year from purchase, so you're not getting a full year of product even though you purchased a full year product. Customer Service is shameful, when I complained about the above the jerk told me he would hang up. They're closing hundreds of stores across the US for a reason, In NY use B&H or just shop online - much better than getting scammed by this low quality poor service company.

    The sales portion was fine but the installation was a nightmare. The first refrigerator was too large, okay, that’s our fault, no problem. We reordered the new one and there weren’t any damages with the fridge or our home with the fridge that was the wrong size/was bigger. The second order and fridge was smaller and fit the area where the kitchen belonged but our hardwood floor is now damaged. We have scratches here and there on the wall but that’s fixable, but the damages on our hardwood floor was hard to accept, since we just moved into our new home.

    Our plan was just to let Best Buy know what happened, but then we encountered a difficult situation with the driver. One of the driver was absolutely rude and very defensive when we explained to him that we will just have to let Best Buy know the situation re: our walls and floors. Maybe we were too nice for letting the guys know that we are not mad at them and we understand that they did all they can, but we as customers will just have to give them a heads up. Some people would have just waited for the installation group to leave and then complained but we felt the need to just give them a heads up, since we know they did the best that they could. Instead, the driver was absolutely rude and drove off without finishing his job. He did not haul away our old refrigerator.

    We love buying our items from Best Buy, but we have to admit that every installation that we’ve had with Best Buy has not been pleasant. The washer and dryer was not pleasant at all either, but the most difficult situation was our situation with our refrigerator. In this situation, I don’t know if it’s Corporate’s fault for not paying attention to the details or is it just certain Best Buy stores? Whatever it is, I hope they figure it out because this will be my last time going to Best Buy for anything that is more than $20.

    I purchased a Lenovo Yoga (small laptop) Nov 30. The product was defective. It was within the first 30 days after purchase. I went to the Southfield, MI store to return it and the customer service rep, Camille, was unprofessional and rude. I had already been told that they would replace it (by another clerk)...when Camille came over and said absolutely not, that the computer looked like it had been dropped (which it absolutely had not.) There were no dings or dents associated with a dropped computer. I was told my only recourse would be to go to the manufacturer and that Best Buy would not do anything. She was so rude and so unhelpful. I basically asked her why, if it is under 30 days, and there is a problem with it, why won't Best Buy do anything to help? Instead of escalating the issue to a manager, she was abrupt and said, "You need to deal with the manufacturer. It's not a Best Buy problem."

    I left the store and called the 1-800 Best Buy number where I spoke with an AMAZING clerk named Brendalyn who IMMEDIATELY REPLACED MY COMPUTER. She was kind and helpful and understanding. I had a new computer within the week. I couldn't be happier with Brendalyn...but the Southfield, MI store is horrible to deal with, especially Customer Service Clerk Camille.

Immediately after they processed my order I received a notification that the case was out of stock. I sent a cancellation notification for the case. The receipt that I did receive indicated that the phone was shipped, the warranty was being processed. Then today - I opened up my bank account and discovered that Best Buy did not cancel the case and the cost for that case, 25.85 was presented for payment to my bank.

    I called Best Buy and at first I was disconnected, when I finally got through - the gentleman I was speaking with sounded like a robot. I explained the problem and was told that I wasn't my husband David so they couldn't cancel the transaction (never mind the fact that it was my account, they used to pay for these items). I explained that it wasn't through my husband's account. I was the one who purchased this for him. It was a gift. He kept talking circles around me - He kept saying over and over again that he understood and that he was sure they would be able to be of service to me. He kept saying that they wouldn't be able to reimburse my account. I told him to get me a supervisor to speak with - He said they were on the phone with another customer. I told him I would wait, but that he would not put me on hold - that he would wait with me on the line until the supervisor was free to speak with me because it was in his best interest to not disconnect our call.

    Eventually I was connected to "Kathy" (not sure of the actual spelling) anyway this person listened to me - and, while I waited, they finally processed the cancellation, and sent me an email with the warranty that indicated a date of activation. After an hour of runaround and the sense that I was being manipulated into the purchase of the case regardless of what I wanted to do. The resolution was more than bittersweet. It was unnecessary, unprofessional, unconscionable to go through customer service like this. It certainly had me wondering if I was having to deal with an off-shore entity and therefore much of what was said was lost in translation.

    I recently placed an order at Bestbuy.com for an Insignia Chest freezer. Item arrived a day early for pick up, which was wonderful so I went ahead and borrowed a truck, drove 60 miles and got it home. Upon opening, I found that it was severely damaged in three different spots. While this was somewhat frustrating, I wasn't too upset and assumed the return process would be rather simple and that I would be offered an option for Best Buy to deliver me a new unit and offer to pick up the damaged one. Instead I was given the most ridiculous customer service I've ever encountered (and I've encountered some terrible service).

    The first young lady I spoke with offered for me to keep the freezer and receive a 45 dollar gift card. She also said I had the option to load the freezer back into the truck, (which I borrowed and don't have access to anytime soon) drive it to the store and receive a replacement (once it arrived because they are out of stock). Thinking to myself that this was an insanely crappy offer, I asked to speak to her supervisor. I was then told I could speak with the supervisor but that there was nothing better anyone could offer me.

    Upon speaking with said supervisor, I found out that the first rep that I spoke with was indeed a liar as I was offered a better offer (albeit a crappy one again) of keeping the unit and receiving a $75 gift card. Oh and I was also give the option again of loading it into my truck that I no longer have access to and driving 60 miles to return it. I then asked the supervisor if she had a supervisor. She explained that she did indeed have a supervisor but that her supervisor would not be able to offer me anything other than what I was just offered (sound familiar).

    After this, I was also told that I wouldn't be able to speak with the supervisor's supervisor until 72 hours because it was New Year Eve and that the 3 days I spend waiting on a callback would count against my return window of 15 day. This is pitiful. I do most of my shopping with AMAZON and Best Buy did a wonderful job of reminding my why. This will be the last chance I give them to have my hard earned money. Was looking at purchasing a projector in the next few month and I'm sure you can guess who will be getting my money. Def. not this joke of a business.

    Best Buy runs the lowest quality customer services I’ve ever experienced. Such a disrespectful way to treat their customers. If corporate lets disgraceful people like Joe (store manager at Dewitt, NY) be in charge and a ‘role model,’ what can you expect from the lower ranking employees? He tried to sell me a very expensive but defective vacuum cleaner. And when I showed him the defect right at the register, he refused to bring another box saying ‘you can take it or leave it...would you like someone to escort you out of the store?’ Clearly a chauvinist (taking an advantage of a single mother) and a scammer. He saw I was desperate to buy this particular vacuum (my old Kenmore broke and I wanted to buy a new Dyson) and this Joe guy took a complete advantage of my situation.

    Went to Best Buy in Williamsburg, VA today. Was shopping for a laptop for my daughter. First no one came to help me. Second when they did I told them exactly what I was looking for and showed them an ad from Walmart. The salesman told me the only thing compatible would be one with a smaller screen that was an off brand. Wouldn’t show me any other products or open box. Just assumed that I wanted that price. I had a lot of money in my pocket and could have asked me questions and got me to spend more probably. But judged me by the way I looked and that I had an ad from Walmart. I left and will not be going back to that store. I’ve never received good customer service there. I worked at Best Buy for 3 years and loved the company.

    I am writing this review following the poor customer service provided by Best Buy since November 21, 2018. On October 23, 2018, I Melsha ** and Kevin ** went into the Best Buy located on 2795 Richmond ave, Staten Island, N.Y. 10314 and spent $4,280.80 on Samsung kitchen appliances. We were greeted by employees ** and ** who assist us with our appliance needs. We purchase the Samsung stove, dishwasher, over the range microwave and the family Hub refrigerator. Unfortunately, the dishwasher was on backorder for four weeks and I preferred to wait until November 21, 2018 for the entire delivery.

    On the above date, there were two separate deliveries that was scheduled. The first delivery was the dishwasher and the oven range microwave. Unfortunately, the dishwasher did not fit in the designated spot and the installation had to be canceled for the microwave and dishwasher. The second delivery arrived with the stove and refrigerator, ** and ** were excellent with installing the stove but wasn’t able to complete the refrigerator due to a waterline concern that was told was a plumbing issue that the gentlemen wasn’t qualified to do. Thus, educating us on the process. With regards to the dishwasher and microwave I proceeded to go back to the Best Buy located on Staten Island to pick out a new dishwasher and reschedule the microwave installation.

    An employee name ** was informed of my issue and told me the order was marked complete, which was later be incorrect. He told me in order to swap out the old dishwasher and get the delivery of the new dishwasher and microwave he would have to cancel the order and redo it. At this time, I found my new dishwasher and worked with ** to get it delivered and installed on the same day. The delivery of the Kitchenaid dishwasher and the Samsung Oven Range was scheduled for November 28, 2018.

    I took another off of work and stayed home on the scheduled day waiting for the delivery/installation of the dishwasher and over the range microwave. Two Hispanic gentlemen came and stated they were only at my residence to drop off the appliances and not to Install anything. At this point, I am extremely upset because the appliances are sitting in the middle of my living room floor in the boxes. I proceeded to contact customer service department and was told that the store employee ** did not add the installation to my order (which was paid for on the original order) and for them to schedule an install date I would have to place a card on file. I adamantly declined doing that because I paid for the installation fees when I purchase the appliances on October 23, 2018.

    The woman then told me I would need to go back to the store to get an install date because I was not able to put a card on file. My husband then proceeded to contact Best Buy customer service the following day and was told was told store location on Staten Island via phone. Again my install date was rescheduled for December 12, 2018. My husband and I waited at home all day yet again for the install. Around 1:30pm a gentlemen comes to my door and stated he is coming to haul away my dishwasher and was unable to take it because the new one was not hooked up yet. At this time I contacted best Buy again and was not getting a clear answer to why the installation was not completed.

    My husband contacted customer service as well numerous times and still not able to get a clear answer to why the install was not done on the schedule date. At this point, I just wanted my money back and contact Best Buy store, the Staten Island location and was told by ** in appliances that I only had 15 days to return the items. However, customer service gave me a install date of December 12, 2018 which made it two weeks after the delivery date, leaving us without the option to return the dishwasher and microwave. We contacted Best Buy customer service again asking to speak with a supervisor regarding the incompetence with the scheduled/completion of the appliances that has been sitting in my living room floor for weeks. We were told a SUPERVISOR would contact us back in regards to our concern. As of date, we have not heard from ANY supervisor.

    Completely frustrated with and a few choice words on my mind, I contact Best Buy AGAIN for about the 10th time to reschedule my appliance appointment. The appointment was scheduled for December 22, 2018. To my surprise, ** and ** arrive at my home to install the dishwasher only but at this time they realized we were also scheduled for an over the range and water line install and contacted their supervisor to get approval to complete all the services schedule for this day. We are extremely grateful for these two professional and knowledgeable gentlemen that came to assist me with all of my install needs. I am this review in hopes you take the appropriate action to ensure no repeat of such bad experience happens to another guest. Moreover, I will ALWAYS second guess doing business with Best Buy in the future.

I went into the store on December 22nd and surprise it wasn't in yet. At this point I could have ordered the watch on Amazon and received it by Christmas but the guy at Best Buy said it should be in later that day. I called at 5pm, no response. I received an email at 6pm stating the watch would be delayed and wouldn't make it by Christmas and it was back ordered. So you sold me a watch that you also sold to someone else. Horrible business.

    I went to Best Buy to pick up an Apple Watch Series 4 and was told that I was overcharged $20 for tax, so I asked her If I’ll get a refund and she said ‘yes it’ll show on your receipt.’ She then asked me if I want paper or email receipt and I said email. I did not get any receipt and any refund and when I opened the watch I bought it’s damaged and does not look like brand new. *I have photos of the box still sealed but the flaps were obvious opened as it’s folded already versus a new box where the flaps will be smooth.* So I decided to go back to the store and asked manager SHAYNE ** if that’s how his name is spelled in BEST BUY MILPITAS CALIFORNIA December 23, 2018 at 4 pm about the $20 overcharge and told me it’s impossible there’s $20 overcharge for tax because they’re already pre taxed when we buy the item.

    He then proceeded to say that the Apple Watch is $399 before tax and a $20 is actually low and asked me ‘don’t you think your tax is actually lower?’ He even called me ‘little lady’ saying he can’t do anything about it. NO APOLOGY FOR HIS STAFF's mistake and even tried to make it sound like I am trying to get $20 free. I wouldn’t even ask for that if his staff didn’t mention it. Then afterward I said I want to exchange the watch I bought because when I got the watch it seems like the box was already opened (I HAVE PHOTOS OF THIS). It seems like the box is resealed with a plastic wrap, the flaps were already folded from the inside which is odd.

    I opened the box and found out that the watch itself has a scratch so I went back to exchange it. He then said ‘I would say you scratched it yourself and want to exchange it for a new one.’ Seriously? I even showed him the photo of how the box was when I got it and he continued to say ‘I won’t exchange it, you damaged it.’ Worse customer service I’ve ever experienced from Best Buy, I’ve been a customer for years.

I went through the process of returning the 1st laptop and buying the 2nd for $300 less. But now it won’t be here for my son to open it.

UPS delivered the package, after it being delayed a day, and the box itself just had the stickers on it for the shipping. First and foremost, it's no one's business what is being delivered to me on top of putting me in danger due to my items being exposed. It's the holiday's and people are desperate. Anyone could've ran up and robbed me because they saw and wanted what was shipped.

    Also, the joy and surprise of my daughter being excited is ruined because she saw the unpack-aged package. It is very unprofessional for items to be sent and not protected. The package could've been damaged and it was raining that day. There's no reason other than a lack of due diligence when sending items that I paid my hard earned money for. This company is too large and has been in business for too many years to make a mistake like this. My manager's package was delivered to him, from Best Buy, same item and it was packaged. Someone needs ensure that this never happens again and that paying customers items are secured.

    Best Buy should delete the word "best" from its name. I bought a Samsung phone from the New York City Fifth Avenue store (44th Street, Manhattan). I told them it was a gift for my daughter in Israel. The salesperson didn't bother to advise me that the "guarantee" was confined to the US, but tried to sell me an extended guarantee for a longer period. The sales slip stated that pre-holiday purchases could be returned for a longer period than usual (some time well into January). But this does not apply to phones, I learned. The phone was defective. The Samsung lab in Tel Aviv advised that there was a major defect in the screen. Best Buy refused to allow a return of the phone. In fact, Best Buy does everything possible to frustrate an attempt to communicate the problem. When I called customer service and explained the problem and that I was calling from overseas, they said they would connect me to the phone department.

    This "phone department" merely was a recording stating that defective phones could not be returned after a limited period, followed by a disconnect. Upon recalling Best Buy, I spoke to seven people before I was connected with a supervisor at the store. His role was simply to suggest that I was lying (without saying so) because the salespeople are trained to advise all foreign purchasers that the guarantee does not apply outside the US unless the supplementary Best Buy guarantee is purchased. When I asked the supervisor to please speak to the salesperson as I believe she would confirm what I reported, he refused, stating that that salesperson sells 100 phones each day to foreign purchasers and could not possibly recall my transaction.

    This, even though there was a specific discussion which I thought would cause the salesperson to remember this particular event. In short, contrary to my experience with Apple and my experience with Amazon -- both of which try to please customers with problems, Buying at Best Buy is an awful experience if there should be any problem with the product. The salespersons (especially, in other departments) are generally helpful and knowledgeable, but the store itself is a lemon. Stay away.

    It is so hard for me to even write about this experience. Back in August of 2018, I pre-ordered a very expensive electronic item, it was around $428. The item was due to be released in November of 2018. Come release day, I got a text message stating that my RESERVED PRE-ORDERED ITEM WAS OUT OF STOCK! Now, how in the world does an item you paid for months in advance is out of stock on release day? Well, I contacted Best Buy immediately regarding this. The customer service representative that I dealt with was a conniving idiot.

    Apparently, a billing error took place (which is odd, considering it showed that they took the money out of my bank account back in August), resulting in them not holding the item for me. This representative then, without notifying me, went behind my back and charged my bank the full amount for the product again. Keep in mind, this is after she notified me that they have no way of supplying me with the product. So this snake charged my account a total of $856! She KNEW that they had a billing error, billed me twice, and knowingly took the money despite Best Buy not being able to supply me with the product. Of course, my bank straightened these moronic snakes out. I wound up being lucky and getting the last one of my item from Amazon.com. I will NEVER do business with these buffoons ever again!

    After my experience with ordering from Best Buy online I am not surprised at all that Amazon dominates the online shopping spectrum. I can honestly say that this company completely lies when it comes to advertising. My first order was for two smartwatches. I paid the additional shipping fees for next day delivery. 1 watch did show up the next day but the 2nd one did not show up for 5 more days. As a matter of fact it showed up on the same day it would have if I picked the free shipping option. I was livid.

    When I tried to call their customer service number I was directed to a call center in India where the woman I spoke with could barely, if at all, understand what I was saying let alone do anything to help me and when I asked to speak to her supervisor I was put on hold for 15 minutes before eventually just being hung up on. So in short I was charged for a service, next day shipping, that I didn't received and couldn't even get a refund on the shipping. So I chalked it up to maybe being a fluke and ordered another item yesterday which was said to be delivered today, advertised as next day shipping. Just checked the tracking info and sure enough it is not going to be here today.

    I'm not even sure how a company gets away with such blatant false advertising but Best Buy most definitely is doing just that. Do yourself a favor and just stick with Amazon. They are true to what they advertise and their customer service is miles beyond anything Best Buy has. Not to mention their prices are the same If not better. I'm very disappointed and very curious as to how a company is able to get away with this kind of nonsense but consider yourself warned. Do not shop Best Buy online unless you like being lied to and ripped off.

    I try to purchase from organizations other than Amazon to protect retail as I have been in it for 30 years and want to see brands win their battle. I purchased a TV from Best Buy on 12/1 to be delivered on 12/15 and received a confirmation number that the product would be delivered between 12-5. I received no notification that they canceled my delivery. After waiting 40 minutes to speak to a human being I was politely informed that they did not have the product and would not be able to fill my order until the first of the year. I asked why they confirmed the order if they did not have the product and was told it was out of their control. HINT... Don't promise something you can't deliver!! I wasted 2 weeks (while you had my money) thinking that you would live up to your promise. I returned my item and contacted Target and got my TV within 2 hours. ***Any question as to why your company is in trouble???

    I bought a Tv and soundbar from the Franconia-Springfield store of Best Buy. They neglected to mention that the tv came with a Galaxy Tab. In the process of sorting it out after I found out online, they overcharged me. I didn’t know until I wanted to make a payment today. The manager STEFAN ( an ** bearded man) was called in and he was so rude and arrogant. He initially said they didn’t make a mistake. When I pointed it out to him he lied that he never said that in an instant! The next thing I know he threatens to throw me out of the store if I keep insisting he said it. I’ve never felt so insulted in my life. I don’t know why he still has a job there. He shouldn’t be working anywhere in the country where human interaction is needed.

Please be aware that the Geek Squad technicians at that store and the technician who is responsible for installing the cameras and remotes for the car are operating under an expired licenses. The employee who would greet you at the door are obviously not allowed to have lunch and breaks so they would greet you at the door with their mouth wide open chewing so you can hear the food crunching as you enter the store.

    The supervisors seemed to be trained not to help, but to disrespect you and harass you. When technicians would do the mistake, the supervisors are reluctant to help you to resolve it or to give you reimbursement for your troubles. The store in general seems to be empty with customers, but full with employee who have no appropriate training or skills. What is the point of having this store open in this location? Who is responsible for hiring and training the employees and making sure they are qualified for the job and operating under a current license?

    I am writing to you today in regards to the recent experience my son and I had at the store you are overseeing while having installation of the rear and side view cameras done along with the remote start. First of all, after having the cameras and remote start installation done past Friday (my car was at the shop for seven hours), I had to come back to the store the very next day as my son and I realized the next morning that the front passenger seat door cannot be open from inside. We knew right away that it was obviously an issue with installation as we had no such problem with the car in the past.

    So, we came back to the store on Saturday morning where we were greeted by the person standing in the middle of the doors chewing the food with his mouth open. We found it to be very offensive and an inappropriate. Is this how your employees are trained to greet the customers? Are not they allowed to have break and lunch?

    Second, that same person, who had no name tag (at least it was not visible to us) asked us if we need help and we asked to talk to the manager. It took a while before Joe ** came to greet us. We had explained that we came back after realizing that installation was not done properly and we are not able to open the door from inside. He told us that Nate **, the person who had done the work had family emergency and did not come to work. He suggested we come back and I gave him my number asking to pass onto Nate that I need to bring my car back.

    I got a call from Nate on Sunday (yesterday) morning. He asked me if I can come at 7:00 pm. I explained to him that I cannot come at that time as yesterday evening was the beginning of Hanukkah which I was planning to celebrate with my son. This year is especially difficult to us as I lost my husband to ALS last year and am a widow and a single mother now. Nate then suggested 12:00 pm. When I had entered the store little bit after 12:00 pm yesterday I was greeted by the same person, chewing with his mouth wide open asking if I need help. At that time I had the car fixed by Nate and had decided to take upon Joe’s offer to ask for a discount for inconvenience which he had mentioned on Saturday he will be able to grant after Nate is done with correcting the mistake. It made sense to me, so I came back to the store.

    When Joe saw me, he acted as he had never seen me before. He was acting unprofessional, inappropriate and disrespectful. I asked him if the reason he is treating me that way is because I am a woman. He replied he feels I am harassing him. I cannot understand why he would get such impression. I came back to take upon his offer and he acted as he never heard of it and does not understand what I want from him. Then he went to Nate. I came from the customer side and had witnessed him whispering with Nate after which he reluctantly gave me $53.00 discount which I felt was not enough to justify the treatment I had received at the store along with the service. In addition, he asked why I chose this particular store and wished I never came.

    I want to bring to your attention that I noticed that Nate’s license, which is displayed by the window at customer's side in the shop had expired in 2017. When I asked him if he has a current license, I had received a very unclear answer which sounded as he has it, but he had not received it yet. It sounded very strange as we are entering 2019 and the expiration date was listed as in the middle of 2017. I wish I had noticed it earlier. How is it possible that Nate allowed to work under expired license?

    One thing I have to say is though Nate did a mistake, he obviously a hard worker who know his stuff, but clearly overworked and needs at least another person at the shop. I had noticed that he did not even had a chance to eat which made me feel very sorry for him as a human being. This was a very disturbing experience. I was living in this area for over 21 years and though I was aware of the Best Buy’s reputation I thought I should give this chain a benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately, it was big mistake on my part.

    That said, before I will write to the Corporate Responsibility staff and the headquarter at Best Buy along with posting my reviews on-line, I would love to hear from you as a general manager of the store you oversees what you are planning to do about your staff attitude and behavior and how are you planning to address what I had shared with you.

    I called into inform the customer care that I got a wrong item in the shipment and I was given options that were not really friendly. I asked the agent to send me the product first before I return, but she said that it was not possible. I told her that for your mistake I have to make a 40 mile trip just to get the mouse. Ideally Best Buy should take care of their mistake. The agent who I spoke to did not treat me right. On asking to speak to a supervisor, I was put on hold and no one came to the phone. This is a tactic that the customer care guys not employ, put you on hold and never come back so that the customer disconnects on his own. For a company like Best Buy this is the worst attitude that a customer care can have.

    Complaint Type: Customer Service Issues. Problem: We were promised our wall oven by Thanksgiving. Had appointments set up for Saturday before. After waiting all day they called and said it would be delivered the Mon. before then called cancelled again! Set up for day before Thanksgiving waited until 3. They called and cancelled again! We bought 4 appliances in order to get discount from GE. Best Buy wouldn’t even sell the wall oven until they sent a person from there to measure for it. He came measured and sold us the appliances at our home set up everything no problem except I had to pay by credit card after he finished all the details. By phone, here is the other problem, No receipt!

    So after they did not show the day before Thanksgiving as promised which made the sell in the first place, we let them keep the sell by taking 200 off the sell. Which we were still upset but could live with the inconvenience. Next they show up to installers show up Saturday after Thanksgiving to install the wall oven. The installer looks at the oven that we have in there and says, “Your new oven won’t fit! Wrong measurements!” So frustrated and after all the waiting problems my husband tells the installers he can call our neighbor to see if he can help. He comes down with his equipment and proceeds to fix the problem sawing and making the oven fit. Mind you we are disrupting his Saturday night.

    We also have an area under the oven that needs covered which they said was a kick plate. My oven that was taken out did not have one which again goes back to not being measured right! Went back to store to complain about the whole new ordeal with the installation and also to tell them they needed to pay our neighbor who does that type work for a living and to our surprise was told the installers got $600 for work they did not do themselves! They said to get the bill from our neighbor and give it to him General Manager of the store Tony. I was to get a 150 in store credit for buying all GE appliances and it was 100. Nightmare is an understatement!

    Don’t trust Best Buy’s low prices. Best Buy had the best price for the Apple Watch I was buying for a Christmas gift, so I ordered one online from them on November 25. Delivery was promised two days later. When it didn’t arrive, I checked the tracking and it said delivery delayed. I checked tracking a couple of days later and it stated that UPS had reported damage to the package to Best Buy. Best Buy never contacted me to inform me or to send a new watch. I finally was able to reach customer service, and they promised to send a new one in two days.

    Two days later I got an email that says that I may receive the watch by January 11 - or if they can’t send it by then they will cancel the order. In the meantime, I cannot cancel the order. They have already charged me because the first one was shipped out. They won’t refund my money. I have paid for a watch that I may never receive, and now must purchase a watch from somewhere else since to have one in time for Christmas. Very shady! I will never purchase from Best Buy again. They may appear to have low prices - but their dishonest business practices cost you more in the end.

One of the sale guys followed me around the store before I paid and noted that the camera did not come with a memory card and that he could help me with that. Very appreciated, at first. While assisting me another sales guy approached and the two briefly argued about who was helping me. While listening to them go back and forth, what a joke, I began looking at tripods because that I would need also. Both of these young guys were ridiculous arguing which one was going to check me out at the register. They both stated they do not receive commissions, yeah right! It didn’t matter to me one way or the other.

    At the register the salesman gave me the pitch of extended warranty in which I declined. His entire demeanor changed and was very rude and the customer service was no longer visible, but the attitude was very clear. After he had followed me around the store with the memory card he had laid it down and never rung it up for me to purchase. Both sales guys were still at the register continuing the conversation about which one was helping me but now the one sales guy was laughing at the other because I declined the warranty. Again, commission!

    I am 55 years old, by no means am I an old guy, but as I was leaving the store a third young sales guy joined the conversation. At this point they were talking amongst themselves that I could hear their conversation, making fun of me, laughing that I was stupid, ignorant, making fun of the way I talked (I stutter). Very hurtful, disrespectful! I am returning the items that I had purchased today!! I am ordering the camera, headphones, memory card and tripod from Amazon. Very disappointed, extremely hurt by the experience.

I called the Netgear Customer Care number and they told me to return the entire unit, box and all, to BEST BUY for another one in the box since they could not send just the manual. Firstly, I live 1 1/2 hours from the nearest BEST BUY. That's about $20 in gas round-trip not to mention that I need the wifi ability for my business and my children's academic requirements.

No offense to Filipinos because they're great people but why can't Best Buy or Netgear EMPLOY AMERICANS TO DO THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE. Lots of Americans need jobs and if we buy their products why are we forced to support workers in other countries. But I digress. If I've already paid for something in full, should I go through hours of time and frustration along with additional costs for something I already paid for a simple manual.

If you can at least see a good value and a company is willing to stand with a customer’s concern? It’s not in this company. Stay away from “Best” (Worse) “Buy”.

    I would like to aim my final rant to some people in that Porter Ranch store. First would be their Store Manager Mike **. He never once tried to talk to an upset customer. Instead refer me to a so called manager (Dennis **). I don’t think Dennis is really a manager. He doesn’t know anything. He likes to try to talk sweet to you and test your intellectual about a product. At least know what you are trying to fix than talk out of your **.

    The last 2 are Victor and Bret. They pretty much wanted to cover their ** by lying to the customer. They will try to make you hear what they think will make a customer happy. When they are confronted with the issue, they will say they never said anything about fixing an issue. They never told a customer they are willing to fix the issue. Might as well say they were not there at all or doesn’t even work for Best Buy. Stay away from Best Buy to be taught about a product. They really don’t know what they are talking about.

    My experience with ordering from Best Buy has been nothing short of horrific. I ordered the Haier Portable Washer on September 30th. When I was given my delivery date a couple days later, I was surprised to see it listed as November 10th (almost a month and a half away from my order date as well as on a weekend). I called the Customer Service number provided to inquire about canceling my order and was informed that I would not receive a refund for 3 weeks. This meant I could not purchase from another company and that waiting to do so would bring me near the delivery date.

    I called back and changed my delivery address to deliver to my home address as I am not at my work (the initially provided delivery address) on weekends. I was reassured that this was changed but also advised to check back. I did...several times. Each time I was reassured that my delivery address had been updated and the washer would be shipped to my address.

    The night before my delivery was expected (November 9th), I called again as I had not received a delivery window and I once again wanted to confirm that the details for my delivery were correct given the issues leading up to this point. I was informed that my delivery address had NOT been updated and that the washer would be delivered to my work. Nothing could be changed at this point unless I wanted to reschedule. Given that I'd already waited a month and a half for my order, I did not want to risk waiting a significant amount of time AGAIN. I requested and was confirmed to receive a reimbursement for my delivery by both the Customer Care Agent as well as his supervisor. This amount was requested as I now had to arrange delivery from my work to my home due to the errors from Best Buy.

    It is December 2nd and I have yet to receive my reimbursement for the shipping. I called AGAIN today and was given yet another reference # and told that nothing had happened with my reimbursement. I am STILL WAITING!!!

I expressed my anger, frustration and how long I was on hold, asked for a phone number or email so that I can officially make a complaint and he says that I'm speaking with the department for that, he will make a note in my record and someone will return my call. When I tell you this is the absolute worst customer service experience ever... I wouldn't recommend Best Buy to my worst enemy on final days on the planet!!! They SUCK!!!

    You should set your rewards account to bank the points so they don't expire... Not entirely true. After a period of inactivity your points can be deleted for inactivity without warning. I lost $250 worth. So the best option is just don't do business with Best Buy. If you do, keep an eye on your account because they will issue certificates without warning and these will expire. If you are not watching they issue the certificates with no e-mail or other message and then they expire and you lose. I choose to never do business with them again and to have $250 worth of points, I spent a lot of money with them in the past. They simply don't care about customers. Avoid them.

    This was the most disgusting experience I ever had. First I contacted the Geek Squad to set up a consultation for my home. It was all set up. Well the day of the appointment I noticed that they had set up the wrong day. So I went and called them. I was transferred 3 DIFFERENT Times, GIVING THEM ALL THE INFORMATION 3 damn times, then they claimed they had to send me to another area. Well they said it was busy but if I pressed 1 I would get another call back in 20 minutes. First they said 20 minutes, then it went to 45 minutes, to 1 hour. Well I got the call back, but now I been on hold again and have not been able to speak to a live person at all. Been on hold for 30 minutes. SO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE go anywhere else but to best buy. They will never get any of money EVER AGAIN!!

    Had to contact customer service due to my order being automatically cancelled within 2-3 minutes of it being placed. Please keep in mind, my order was a whopping $2.12. First of all Best Buy, hire from the USA!!! This outsourcing BS is ridiculous. 4 phone calls and still no resolution so I said ** Best Buy! It's amazing that you're still in business. All of this frustration over a $10 reward certificate that could not be put back into by account for at least 3-5 business days. What a complete joke. There are way too many other business out there that will earn my business from now on. People of the USA, use your common sense and BOYCOTT Best Buy as they are the WORST Buy!!!

    Best Buy has the worst customer service. I bought a TV on 15 November and talked with the customer service to schedule a delivery for 19 November. On 19 November no tv or phone call about the delivery. They never showed up to deliver the TV called customer service to find out what happen to the delivery. I was on hold for about two hours and still no answer about it just that it would be delivered on 21 November. On 21 November no delivery/call to tell us it would not be delivered. Then after another two hours with customer service they stated the delivery would be 27 November. On 27 November no tv but now customer service is tell me that the system state that the TV was delivered. Don't buy anything from Best Buy.

    We researched before purchasing and decided to go with Best Buy. We bought a big screen tv, audio and laptops. We had to schedule a delivery due to high cost items requiring signature. UPS showed up 3 hours late, and ended up not even having the package. Best Buy stated they were on their way but I told them I wouldn't be here due to not having enough PTO. The UPS guy said if another driver comes they would leave it. Best Buy blames carrier but never offered to contact driver to have delivery estimate nor any kind of refund for all the problems. If I have to take another day off work I lose money.

    I had two issues with Best Buy and well, actually three. The first is that they misdirected me at first place via their advertisement for early Black Friday for elite members. And worst, I was lied or misinformed by the customer agent. I was told to come back and make price adjustments but when I came back, they said there is no such a thing. Otherwise, I would have returned my laptop back and got a new one. And finally, my third issue, even though I had escalated this issue to Best Buy management and to be honest, I was also disappointed in the way they handled the issue. But let's see what they would do in the long term...

    I wanted to tell that I am an investor, liking to think in long term issues and dont count pennies in my life. The issue in these incidents is that Best Buy loses customers by counting pennies and lose thousands or millions of dollars in the long term. This is why, I think Amazon makes this issue the best. Focus on customers, dont count pennies and most importantly, dont misdirect and watch out for lies. To help other customers, I would like to suggest that please be very cautious with Best Buy purchases. For me, I wont buy anything from them. I hope this is helpful.

    Actually the "1" star is too much to this company, but unfortunately there is no less! I bought a TV from Best Buy (Fairfax Store), we set a date for the delivery, then at the day of the delivery, many stupid acts happened by the one who was supposed to do this job! I tried hard to reschedule for the delivery, but nothing helps, I couldn't do it online, I couldn't do it over the phone, nor even in the store!

    Nobody helps at all, just a group of amateurs are being throwing you to each other, then when I felt like I can't stand this careless & unprofessional attitude anymore, I decided to return the TV back, imagine what? 4 days the TV cannot be located!!! It shows in their systems "In Transit" status!!! And accordingly they cannot do me the refund because the system doesn't allow this! P.S.: One of the tries to do the refund took me -literally- 2 hours in the store to do the refund, however, it is not done!!! Do yourself a favor and keep away from this place, you'll have a very quick sales process, but upon any issue, you'll be left just stranded in the middle of the road! This is THEM.

    I was ready to make a purchase last night at 1:15 am when all of a sudden the price on a SIM card changes to the regular price. I called them in the morning to request they honor the sale price and the answer was a flat no. Go ahead and search for a lower price and we'll match it. Best buy is a company that doesn't care about satisfying the customer. Over a measly SIM card they jeopardize a relationship. Unbelievable.
