    When my order arrived 12/5/2019 in the box was an IPAD and ear pods which I did not order. I immediately called 18882378289 to report that I receive the wrong order. I was told my return was processed and I would receive a packing slip to mail the wrong items back and I requested to cancel the order because they could send all of the other items in my order but not the Apple watch. Could not use the other items without the apple watch. Called again on 12/10/2019 to get an update on my return as I receive an email that my return was processed. I was told to wait 10 days and I should see my money credited to my card.

    On 12/12 I noticed my card was return 41.57 and they did not give me credit for the apple watch and apple care 253.77. Called again on 12/12/2019 and was told they would not refund for the apple watch and apple care as I did not return the items. Explained again that I never received and that I received wrong order which I returned. Now I am told a case has to be open and someone will contact me to investigate if I really did not receive the apple watch/apple care. Frustrated! Will never do business with Best Buy again online or in the store. Have heard from others that they have had similar experiences with returns. Wish I had listened! Never again Best Buy. Worst customer service ever!

    I needed a product the same day and needed to pick it up at Best Buy during my short lunch break. Therefore, I ordered it online for one hour pick up. The receipt even stated it would be available in one hour. Also, the latest commercials even make the same claim. However, when I arrived two hours later and after waiting for 20-minutes at the pickup desk, it was not ready for pickup. The employee told me that the order may not be ready for days as they had over 300 online orders to prepare, but only had one employee assigned to pick them up.

    I had to cancel my order and go find the product myself. Then I returned and found out that one was working the checkout stand and I had to checkout using the pickup desk again. After another 30-minute wait, I was able to checkout and return to work late. So, Best Buy advertises that for your convenience you can order online and pick up your product in an hour. However, in actuality, it took me almost an hour to get my product myself in the store. I know that Best Buy was in trouble a few years ago and losing money because of poor customer service. Well, it seems that they will be in trouble again because they still have not learned their lesson.

    For 5935 S Wadsworth Store in Littleton. My 70 year old neighbor was having a terrible time with kitchen appliances order. Best Buy had computer glitch which did not record her order. Took a week to straighten that out, reverse credit card charges etc, but a week later order was complete. Measuring crew came out, told my friend that a cabinet cutting crew was needed to install double oven. She told Best Buy appliance manager that but install company sent same measuring crew out. Frustrating.

    Took a week to get right crew out. Then credit card bill came and neighbor was charged twice for order. We went to store, asked to see manager and ** came out, listened to our issues and took bull by the horns. She spent 20 minutes on phone with bank who were NOT helpful and also with Best Buy's tech support. Straightened out all the issues, talked to her appliance manager about how to improve his performance (new guy) and got my friend a nice $ credit for her troubles and 2 week earlier delivery of her refrigerator. ** made a potentially disastrous situation into a positive one. Better hold onto her, Best Buy. Thanks.

I had called their customer service line and waited 1 hr before speaking with an agent who advised it was updated but did not was not done. After various discussions with purolator it was finally delivered. A week afterwards I need to purchase an head set and it was quite unfortunate that I had to go through the same issue but Canada Post was unable to deliver and returned the package and this was required asap and I notified Bestbuy but no response.

    I order 2 Apple AirPods on Black Friday. When I reserved to pick up in the store the website stated thank you for your order. You will receive an email no later than Dec 3 and will then have 24 hrs to pick up your item. I thought great. Just in time for Christmas. So Dec 3 has come and gone and no email. I call the Langley store as that was the store I requested to pick my items up on Dec 6 to see if my items are ready. The girl states, "Nothing here." So I go to the store on Dec 10 to speak to the pick up counter staff to see if my order is ready or if they have an estimated time of arrival.

    They call the Supervisor then the Manager, I talk to both and try to explain to them what the website stated and they seemed very confused, then they go into the back and the Supervisor comes back to me and tells me the date I ordered, which I had already told her, and she said, "You had 24 hrs to pick up the items." I then said, "I know I have 24 hrs to pick up the item but that is after I have received the email, and again that is why I'm here as I still have no email on my order status." Then she states, "Well we sold your order because you didn't come in within 24 hrs and they are now on backorder...." I said to her, "I'm confused though cause you originally stated I would receive an email. I told you I haven't received by email yet," and she stated that the items are not available now? Worse customer service. This is why I should of just stuck with the Apple store.

    The thumb drive that we purchased from Best Buy included a "free" version of a file zip program. Unfortunately, it's only free for a limited amount of time, then you MUST purchase the program if you ever want to see your files again. I will NOT be purchasing anything from Best Buy again. If this is their version of customer service, I'll go elsewhere. My advice, delete everything from the thumb drive before using it, then, just to be sure, format it so that your files don't disappear.

    I am so frustrated. In the past 2 weeks we have given Best Buy almost $4k of our money. We bought a fridge and paid extra to have the water line connected to the new fridge. They came yesterday and said they forgot the water line kit so they gave me a # to call to schedule someone to come out. I called that # to be told that my account was still "in process" so they couldn't do anything until the truck finished all its stops for the day. I called back hours later to sit on hold for over 40 minutes. I was then told that the salesmen rung up my account wrong and never put the install on there so I needed to go into the store because she couldn't do anything for me. I spoke to her manager who told me again the order was rung up wrong and I needed to contact the store. I called the store 15 minutes before they closed and talked to someone who told me that she would review it and have someone call me first thing in the morning.

    This morning came and went so I called the store again who told me that the order was correct and I needed to call the same # that I called the night before. I explained that they told me they couldn't help me so I asked them to stay on the line while I conference that # in. Then I received a message that the wait time to speak to someone was 42 minutes. The store rep then tells me that he can schedule a tech to come out but not until next Friday and then asked if I had a copper or plastic water line, so after I told him it was plastic he then stated I needed whole different kind of installation because they require a copper line and that would cost around $130.00. They agreed to do it for free but again it could not be until next week Friday.

    After explaining that my husband and I already took off work yesterday to have it delivered and now I have to take another half day to have the water line installed I would like some other form of consideration. After a few hours he calls back and says the best they can do is take $70 off the fridge. The fridge was almost $2k alone. I am ready to return the fridge completely as well as the MacBook we bought on Black Friday. I am going into the store tonight because I am done dealing with people over the phone. I got a different story from each person I spoke to and it is unbelievable that after all the money I have spent there that the best they can do is $70.00. At this point I just want to know EXACTLY what needs to happen. I paid for a fridge with a water and ice dispenser. It should all work the day it was delivered.

    So I ordered a Rift S VR headset on Cyber Monday and paid for overnight shipping. Nothing by Wednesday. I use their live chat to speak with a Best Buy rep. They guarantee me it will arrive that day. I called UPS and they said it hadn't even been picked up. So, I live chat Best Buy back. They say the same thing. It will arrive today. It doesn't. So Thursday I message them again. Same thing. They guarantee me it will be here today. I tell them the tracking shows it's not even shipped. They say it's wrong and guarantee it will show up that day. Again it doesn't.

    So finally, 4 days late with overnight shipping. I message them AGAIN (by now I'm about two hours into this), and the live chat agent CONFIRMS that it hasn't been shipped yet. He doesn't know why. But, he says he will reship it and it will get here in 5 days... I paid for overnight shipping, but now it will take 5 days. So I just asked for a refund. We will see if I ever get it. Save your time and order electronics from Newegg.com. They rock and I've never had an issue.

    I upgraded a cell phone I bought from BEST BUY to another phone. I made the mistake of letting the BEST BUY staff set up my new cell phone and the rep wasn't sure what he was doing and decapacitated the ability of the internet almost completely. He also locked Mobile Networks so mine couldn't be set. Only BEST BUY and ROGERS connections to the net could be made although I have a $75 a month plan with CHATR - he got it terribly wrong. The phone had a ! SIM PROCESSOR error message every start up. It was slow as a dinosaur on the internet. It wouldn't connect most times at all. Finally five weeks later I took it back and was told to pay another $100 to get a $50 credit on a new phone! Don't waste your time or money with WORST BUY.

    On Black Friday I made an Online purchase from Best Buy.com and paid extra to have it delivered same day. Day came and went with no delivery and no communication from Best Buy on changes in delivery status. The next day early afternoon called Best Buy to find out what happened. After spending 45 minutes on hold I finally got an agent to talk to. After approximately an hr. of explaining everything, sitting on hold and listening to the agent ask someone else what to do I thought everything was fixed. The agent cancelled the original order, expedited new order for same day and said they would credit my freight for the first order.

    I get the confirmation email shortly after and it says my order will not be there for two days, even after the agent supposedly expedited the order. I try to call back and sit on hold for another 1/2 hr. and decide it's not worth it. I'll just wait two days. Two days passes and my order status now says If I do not get my order by Jan 4, 2020 (which is a month from now) they will notify me and cancel my order. By far the worst experience ever shopping online and will never use Best Buy online shopping again.

    Purchased a small microphone for my iPad in Henderson, NV. I specifically told sales person we lived in Canada and asked if we could return product in Vancouver, BC. He said yes, no problem. Today I went to Best Buy in Vancouver to return mic because it did not work with my iPad. They would not refund because it was purchased in the US. I called customer service number for US, explained the situation, and was repeatedly told there were no options, they couldn’t verify I was told this (in essence accusing me of lying), wouldn’t act on my suggestion of extending return from Jan. 14 to end of Jan. 20 when I will be in the US. The supervisor's name is Giselle.

    This is not the way to treat a customer who acted in good faith on the information given to him by a Best Buy employee, even if the information given was wrong re returning goods in Canada. I tried phoning Henderson, NV store and gave up after being on hold for ten minutes while paying long distance charges. I would not recommend Best Buy to anyone.

    I filed a complaint with Best Buy. Never answered me. I am extremely dissatisfied with the service I received with Best Buy and Geek Squad. Especially how they treated me in Best Buy LaSalle Montreal. They kept my laptop Dell for 2 months. Meanwhile the manufacturer grantee expired. I had software issues. Geek squad told me, they are going to send my laptop in Dell service Toronto, because Dell dos not have one in Montreal. I agreed. 2- weeks later they return it to me with not working earphone jack. I return it back for reparation. It took them another 3-4 weeks. They called me for a pick up. I tested the jack - not working again. They send it back for reparation. For long time nobody gets back to me. So I called directly Dell to check what is going on. Dell didn’t have any file concerning my laptop.

    I went in Best buy LaSalle to ask the manager Mahmoud what is going on - no information, he did not know where my laptop is. In a few days Karim from Geek squad called me, to tell me, he is going to fight with Dell for a new machine. Great!!! I agreed, and asked how long is going to take. His response was 48 hours. In 5 days he called me back to tell me I am going to have a new laptop same model, just to wait for the delivery.

    After an eternity they called me back for picking up. What a surprise!!! They gave me my old laptop, insisting it is new one, with the same serial number!!! Really? Mahmoud and Karim were very, very rude and arrogant to me. Karim discretely was chewing a gum. I asked for the company complaints procedure to follow. They refused and ignored me. I insisted and they gave me customer service phone number. I called customer service, absolutely useless. Mahmoud said to me that even I file a complaint, they are going to return it to him. He is the manager. So finally, no apologies, nothing. They made me feel very stupid and blamed me to escort me out. With my money I bought a lot of disrespectfulness, arrogance, lies and stress. I called Dell if they replaced my laptop, of course the answer is NO.

    I have my old laptop Dell, they installed a game for free. I never play games.

The credit card department has repeatedly authorized my purchase, after 2 days I have, also repeatedly, gotten a message telling me that my card was declined. Each time I have researched the issue, found the cause, each time it was Best Buy that cause the error. When talking with the Best Buy agent, I have been lied too, again, repeatedly. Best Buy is attempting to double charge my credit card, when that happens, I'm over my available balance. The laptop is a Black Friday sale item, if they cancel my order this time, I lose the sale price. This issue is still unresolved, my card has been charged, it was approved, however, Best Buy tried to charge my card a second time so that I am still not receiving my purchase.

    I bought a Canon Personal printer scanner copier from the local Brockton MA Best Buy. The salesperson was very impressed with this printer and he highly recommended it. I also bought a PC and monitor so I spent over $2,000 here. After a couple of months, I tried to use the scanner function on my printer. I had purchased the Geek Squad Tech Support so I used this support to trouble shoot the printer. After 2 different support times and 2 different agents, it was determined that the scanner hardware is faulty. I took the printer back to the store and was informed that if I had not bought the Best Buy additional insurance, they would have nothing to do with this problem. The very nasty customer support manager told me to go "call Canon and get it resolved through them". So, these folks just don't back up their products and really don't care about the customer.

    I purchased a Dell Ispirion laptop on Black Friday. I went online to make the purchase. I choose Fry rd. in Katy Texas to pick up the laptop. The laptop I choose was $350. At checkout we saw there was only a 6 month no interest option. My husband called the customer service number to find out if we could have a 12 month no interest applied. Since we never use our card and have excellent credit the person who answered told us yes, if we had a $399 purchase we could opt in for a 12 month option. We hung up and added another product for $49 which made our total $399.

    We could still not find an option button for 12 months after adding the other product. So we called again and spoke to a different person who told us we would have to purchase the item first then they would apply the 12 month option. We pressed the customer service person as to why we couldn't have that as an option since we just added another product. She could not give us a reason why but just kept repeating in a thick accent we could barely understand, that we have to buy the product first then call back to receive the option.

    Well went moved forward on her word but when we called back we were told we would have to go to the store to get that 12 month option! So, my husband went up there with the receipt and asked for the 12 month option. They told him that ended in October! Ridiculous! I am furious. What a scam!! And on top of it this Dell computer that came with Windows 10 keeps asking for a product key to activate Windows 10! We got no product key and all they told my husband is it's on the card we gave you. That card is for the Microsoft Office 365 we purchased! This is total BS. Beware before you ever buy from this huge company. The left hand is not talking to the right hand.

I had lost my receipt and Samsung would not unlock it without a proof of purchase. Even with an order number I was never able to access the original purchase information. Best Buy CANNOT or WILL NOT simply print a copy of the receipt and mail it to you. Because of this I had to pay someone to unlock the BRAND NEW tablet I bought. What happened to customer service???

    First let me say that I have been a long time Best Buy fan and customer with rewards and a credit line of more than $6000.00. Black Friday will be here soon and there are many ads that are offering prices now. I get an ad in the mail and decided to buy 70in LG 4K TV. The location is about 45 minutes away. I call that location from the ad and was told that they have many in stock and to come in and get one. Being that it is 45 minutes away and Best Buy is only 25 minutes away and I could use my Best Buy card if I wanted, I figured that I would call Best Buy to see if they would price match and if they had the exact same TV. I was told yes they would price match, and to just bring the ad with me.

    All good, right? I get to the store and talk to someone in the TV department and was told sure, and that they have the exact same tv in stock. He leaves, then comes back to tell me he can't do it. I ask why, he says that it is because it is a Black Friday ad. I say, "But the ad is not for Black Friday, it is for NOW, this week." They say still, can't do it. So I went to B-mart and now have a wonderful TV. Shame on Best Buy, I no longer wonder why I see some Best Buy stores going out of business.

Today has been one month since I ordered it and a month has passed and not a single word from Best Buy. Three times I have tried to call the store and three times nobody ever picked up. I tried to call tonight but knew nobody would pick up. I went to the store and am back home and still on hold. My current hold time right now is 1 hour and 33 MIn and still on hold as I Type.

    I went there four days ago to cancel the order and get another phone. Advertised as 2.50 a month with contract for 36 months. I was in the freaking store for almost three hours and they ended up refusing to sell the phone at the advertised price. I spoke with the manager who offered me a discount on another product.. I was prepared to buy but they refused to put their money where their mouth is. Do we want to talk about their total tech support? To make a long story short they lost all my pictures when doing a simple data transfer. About four months ago they screwed my computer up so bad I had to take it in to be repaired.

False advertising saying they will not be beat on price, Geek Squad a nightmare, never pick up their phones, ignore you when the order does not come in, offer to compensate but refusing to honor it thirty minutes later, wasting three hours of my time and then refusing to sell the product at the advertised price. Need I say more. One word of advice. If you have high blood pressure stay away from this dump, and if you do not, you probably will have when you leave. Oh... my time on hold now is 1 hour and 49 min.

    Bought three appliances at Best Buy on a sale promotion. Delivery was a disaster. First had Viking cooktop delivered on a Friday. Next day was expecting fridge and microwave to be delivered and all installed. Viking tech showed up to install cooktop, but other appliances not on schedule for delivery. Had to call and reschedule their delivery. On the scheduled delivery day, appliances showed up but no one was scheduled to install. Had to call back to get install date. Three days later items installed. Fridge not cooling properly, and had to leave town for conference. Called Best Buy to report fridge not cooling, they said 15 days passed (as of delivery date, not install), said can't help. Call LG. STAY AWAY!!!

    Our less than two-year-old washer from Best Buy (purchased in July of 2017) stopped completing loads in May of 2019. It took 7 trips to the house and two "No Shows" (a total of nine appointments, numerous days off work and very expensive trips to the laundromat) and we were finally granted a new washer, which was installed on November 4th… Yes, November. Our friends and family couldn’t believe how patient we were with them, but we have always liked Best Buy. As it turns out, they don't make the washer we had any more, and so we went with one that was $100 more. Do you think they would give us a break after all the time off work and money spent at the Laundromat waiting for them to correctly fix or replace our 22-month-old washer... Nope, not a dime. Absolutely terrible Customer Services.

    The good that came out of this is that $100 will cost Best Buy thousands... We cut up our Best Buy Card and will never buy anything from them again. In the past two years we have bought three TVs, a refrigerator and a washer (now two), no more... Enjoy your $100 Best Buy! Lastly, I have all of this documented including the chat conversation with Geek Squad where the person told me it was going to be $250 for them to come out and look at the washer (this was visit number 5), which I obviously didn’t pay. If anyone has any doubts or thinks this review is over exaggerated due to my obvious frustration, I would be more than happy to share.

    Very disappointed. I was advised I would have my laptop back in 2 weeks. It was actually 2 weeks later that they left me a voice mail advising that the repair would be $400 and they needed approval. I called the Geek Squad number all day and never got through so I gave up and called the store. I spoke to an associate who stated that they would advise the Geek Squad/computer department that I had okayed the repair. I never heard anything so I called back the next night only to be told that a) they had been attempting to get a hold of me (not true, they called once) and b) they were still waiting to hear from me for the approval (I had called). I'm also not sure why I bothered to join the repairs program because a $400 repair on top of my monthly maintenance fee seems a bit steep. When I'm ready to purchase a new laptop I will probably be looking elsewhere.

    On Nov 13, 2018, I purchased a tablet, microwave oven and an LG Television at the store on Ray Road, Phoenix, Az. I was offered an extended warranty on the tablet and I asked what it covered beyond the manufacturer's warranty. I was told that it covered everything, including water damage and breakage. I stated that I did not want that for the tablet but I did for the TV and microwave. I stated I would feel better knowing that the TV would be good for at least 2 years, regardless of what happened to it. I was sold a 3 year warranty for the microwave and a two year for the TV. Nothing else was mentioned nor any written details about warranties was give.

    At the end of October, 2019, the legs on a shelf next to the TV gave way and the shelf fell into the TV. The TV appeared okay until it was turned on. The picture was distorted and cracks could be seen inside. I called Best Buy and was told me to bring it in. I took it to the service desk and the rep started doing paperwork. He stopped and asked another rep something. He then stated that the warranty did not cover breakage. I told him that I was led to believe it did.

    We were then joined by an Assistant Manager who listen to my story and then stated the sales person that sold us the TV was a friend of his. He would go speak to her. He returned and stated that the salesperson knew that breakage wasn't covered and she would not have told us it was. I stated that it didn't really matter what she knew, it was what she led me to believe that mattered. I was told all they could do is refund the unused part of my warranty. They gave me a number to "corporate" if I wanted to pursue it further. I asked if they could at least dispose of the TV. They said, yes, for a cost of $50. I left with the TV and attempted to call the number they gave... Didn't work. I found a number on-line. I talked with someone that barely understood English for about 10 minutes and was told that each store could make the decision to refund money, not corporate. I took the TV home and trashed it.

    I wrote the BBB and Best Buy responded with the comment that the warranty didn't cover breakage, but they could still have done a refund if I hadn't disposed of the TV. Bottom line, don't buy a warranty on a TV. It's not worth the money. Also, if you still want a warranty, make Best Buy give you something in writing at the time of purchase so you know what you are getting. Better yet, go to Walmart where the warranties on their TV's does cover water damage and breakage.

    Once I call after 7 I am advised the delivery will need to be Saturday. So I kindly ask for them to cancel my order. Regina ** located in a call center in the midwest proceeds to cancel my order and then advises in a sarcastic manner that had I not canceled my order she would have been able to help.

    So I bought my daughter a nice 27" gaming monitor for like $300 for her birthday on 9/20 because Best Buy had it on sale. When speaking with the salesman, I asked him what the return policy is if it was broken and I didn't purchase their warranty, and was told 30 days. Knowing I would give it to her yesterday and it would be a few days before the 30, and it was on sale, I bought it. Well fast forward to yesterday, I give my daughter this gift and she's is super stoked. Feeling like Dad of the year, we get it setup, and only half of the screen works! So after some troubleshooting I decide to call the local Best Buy to make sure they have the same monitor in stock so when I drive the 45 minutes to get there, it's not a waste of my time.

    To my surprise, the Customer Service rep told me it didn't matter because it had been 15 days and I'd have to go through the manufacturer. You could imagine how upset I was after the salesman looked me in the eye with a smile and told me 30 days. The sad part is, I've been a customer of theirs since they opened decades ago, and I make it a point to buy my electronics from there in an attempt to keep the sinking ship afloat. This was the last straw, and I will happily watch them go under. My response from the BBB complaint was "If it's broken out of the box, call the manufacturer". So like they don't even care that they sold me a broken product and pretty much stole $300 from me.

    That's ok though, I hope that $300 was worth adding a 20+ year customer to a long list of people who have dropped them for good. I also hope this review steers a few people away as well so that they lose more than that $300 in the end. That 15 day return policy is a scam to get you to buy their extended warranties. Why would anyone buy a warranty from a company going out of business?

    This review is in regards to a Geek Squad warranty for a Samsung Galaxy S8 phone: I purchased my Geek Squad warranty plan on my cellular phone at the Best Buy store located at 17414 La Cantera Pkwy Ste 106, San Antonio, TX 78257. I attempted to turn in my cellular phone to this same Best Buy location for repair approximately a little over a year ago. The Best Buy store associates told me that I MUST turn my phone into Samsung. They stated that it was still under manufacturer warranty and I MUST go through them. My question is, why would Best Buy accept my monthly Geek Squad payments if they would not honor the warranty and force me to go through the manufacturer? I subsequently received a replacement phone through Samsung.

    On September 21, 2019, I attempted to drop my cellular phone off for repair at the same Best Buy due to my phone not working. The employee at Geek Squad told me that I could not drop the phone off for repair at that time and that I must make an appointment to drop the phone off. There were NO OTHER CUSTOMERS waiting for assistance at that time. Inconveniently, I scheduled an appointment for 7 hours later that day.

    When I returned to drop off the phone for repair, a different associate THEN tells me that Best Buy is “not an authorized Samsung repair center” and that my ONLY option is get the phone replaced. This was NEVER disclosed to me when I initially signed up for the warranty. The associate then further explains that there is a $199 fee for replacement phones. He stated if was an Apple phone they would be able to repair it. Again, it was NEVER disclosed to me about a fee when I initially signed up for the warranty.

    I then called the Best Buy customer service number, 1-888-237-8289, to speak to a supervisor to rectify the matter. I was left on hold for over TWO HOURS waiting to speak to a supervisor. I finally hung up as I could not wait on hold any longer. I searched for a Best Buy email to email about this issue. Best Buy does not have an email for customers to email questions or concerns. I then attempted to initiate a chat session, but there were “no agents available”.

    I finally have no other option but to write Best Buy corporate. I wrote them exactly what I've written in this review. To include the inability to reach a supervisor through their 1-888 number, no email, and no agents to chat. Best Buy responds to me with a generic letter, stating for me to call "1-888-237-8289" for assistance. You have been warned. Do NOT purchase a Geek Squad Warranty from them!

When I tried to drop it off it became more difficult than in the past since you need an appointment; which times available where hard to meet due to my work schedule. The last day of the warranty they refused to take my laptop due to their Geek Squad agent was sick and gave me the number to Geek Squad. Due to this I was told their would make an exception for a Best Buy on the other side of town the next day. I get there the next day and I get told, "Your warranty is out, there’s nothing we can do."

    Terrible experience with Best Buy Appliance Delivery - I ordered 3 new appliances and waited over 2 weeks for the items to get delivered. On delivery day I was told they'll be there between 12-6 pm, my husband and I both took off work to be there. 6 pm finally arrives and no one has shown up or called. I call Best Buy, wait on hold for over 30 minutes, finally get connected and the agent seemed very unapologetic for the fact we'd waited all day. She said they use a 3rd party delivery crew so she'd have to contact them, she gets them on the phone and the woman didn't want to help at all. All she said was she couldn't get ahold of the driver so she emailed them and asked them to call me directly....

    I wait until 7:30 pm, still haven't heard from anyone, I call Best Buy again, they try & call the 3rd party and find out now they're closed. This happened on a Friday so I asked them are they delivering Saturday then, no one knew. Finally I get ahold of a manager who tells me she'll try for Monday, I told her I couldn't take off another day & so Monday after 5 pm, she said she'll try & call me back the Saturday to confirm the delivery - I end up having to call multiple times again and no one can give me an answer on when they'll be delivering, I talk to another manager who says it's not likely it'll happen Monday but she'll check then call back.... Again I hear nothing.

    Monday rolls around, I'm at work and get a call the delivery crew would be there in 30 minutes, I tell them no one is there so as I told them before, 5 pm is the soonest they can deliver. After calling multiple times I finally get a dispatcher to call me who said they'll be there at 5 pm. Monday night they finally showed up around 5:45 pm - I had paid the extra $200 for the range to be changed out with a microwave and per the email I received from Best Buy telling me how to prepare for the install the video specifically says "our experts will change out your wiring for a new outlet"....

    As soon as the delivery guys get there they tell me they don't do that.... They ended up getting their manager on the phone and I explained the video sent by Best Buy said they would, I told him to forget it & just leave the microwave and we will install ourselves and I'll tell Best Buy to refund the extra I paid for install, finally the manager says they'll go ahead & do it. They get the dishwasher in and microwave, then unbox the stove and of course, it's broken. This happened Monday, today is Wednesday, I've called Best Buy multiple times asking when my stove will be re-delivered, of course no one knows.

    They said the delivery crew hasn't even checked back in the return so the order is locked and they can't reschedule. Their records don't even show they've delivered my dishwasher and microwave yet. This whole thing has been beyond frustrating. I can't get any specific person to get this resolved, managers have been no help, they've already deducted all my money and can't even tell me when I'll get my appliance. The lack of organization shown by Best Buy is unbelievable. It amazes me that with how poor of a job they've done not one manager has stepped up to take lead and get this taken care of. The one manager I did speak with, Amanda ** said she provided her direct phone number however every time I've tried calling her since then it goes into a queue.

    I've even asked to cancel my order so I can just order somewhere else but they keep saying my order is on hold because of the 3rd party so they won't even cancel it. This is the WORST customer service experience I've ever ever had. I will definitely make sure my family & myself NEVER use Best Buy again. They should be ashamed at how terrible of a job every single person I've spoken with has done. It's mid-day Wednesday and I still can't get an answer when I'll receive my stove and it's released so I can't cancel it to just get it somewhere else. NEVER use Best Buy, you will truly regret it.

    My husband and I have had our Best Buy card for 10 + years and during that 10 + years they have lowered our credit limit to equal the balance we had on the credit card, which made us maxed out on that card. Our scores took a big hit because of that. They have lowered our limit several times over the years for "lack of use," and have threatened to close the card if we don't use it within a certain amount of time.

    They offer no incentives to encourage spending. And right now our limit is so low we couldn't buy half the stuff in there even if we wanted to. They have not lowered our extremely high interest rate (not even by 1%), even though we have excellent credit and perfect credit history with them. They have not raised our credit limit back up even after we use it on a regular bases. No promotional offers whatsoever. They only thing that they have offered were 5 dollar off next purchase, because what we have spent on our previous purchase. I know they are not the only store card company that stoop these tactics and it is very sad. The only reason I keep them is, it will hurt our credit.

    I'm to the point that I just might let them close it so I can be done with them once and for all. Yea, our credit will take a hit, but it won't take long for us to bounce back. They will definitely need us before we need them ever again. In fact I will never apply for another store card period. They are the worst and they do more harm to your credit than good.

Anyway, I tried to work with the manufacturer who sent me new replacement buds and they too were defective. I, in good faith, tried to get this to work out with BestBuy even if just for a store credit, something, but they stuck to their policy with no consideration for me. Now I'm out the money. Do not buy from these people. Buy from a company that has a reasonable return policy and an understanding that sometimes it takes more than 15 days to determine if a product is defective.

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

    One delivery person distracted my son while the other shoved the washing machine quickly into place denting the side. I was called and offered a gift card if I kept the dented washer. Fortunately I declined. When I got home and looked at the back, it was dented from top to bottom. The metal was pulling away from the body of the machine. The damage happened before they arrived at my house.

    After I took time off of work and waited 5 hours for a replacement washer they called to say the truck broke down. After speaking to the store manager and someone in customer resolution, the choices I was given were to take another day off of work, pay them extra to get a set delivery time, or return it. To return it I have to take a day off work and wait for them to come get it. Amazingly deceptive business practices and the customer service is laughable. I will look into my options of canceling the credit card charge and shoving the washer outside so they can pick it up at their convenience during one of their six hour windows of time. I would have attached a receipt except it is unreadable and the sales person said he could not reprint it. Should have known then this was a mistake.

    I do not recommend setting up any sort of online account with Best Buy; especially a business account. From day one our account did not work and no one could tell us why. Finally, decided to create a new account - to apply for tax exemption. The account was set up via phone with a BestBuy agent. - The account I created, let me repeat, I created this account - female - for the owner of our company - Male - Also my father, so same last name. I was able to login to my account, but was unable to do much as it asked me to "complete the account" needing a member-ID. First call was 10 minutes after establishing the account. The agent I spoke with, I am not sure she even knew she worked at BestBuy - asked me questions actually. The next day I was transferred a total of 15 times. Yes, I spoke with 15 people within an hour. Not one of these "agents" knew how to assist me and continued to transfer me from department to department.

    Now the kicker, two of these agents refused to assist me because my name was not on the account... the account I created for our business that the 13 other people I spoke with had no problem assisting me with - although unsuccessfully. One of them actually refused to transfer me to a supervisor because my name wasn't on the account, and when I said it was for my personal account still refused and then would not provide his identification #. Here I am 15, 17 including the two the day before, BestBuy agents later and I do not have an answer and am absolutely blown away by the incompetence and lack of customer service.

    I will NEVER, EVER, EVER purchase ANYTHING from BestBuy EVER again. I will also be sure to post my experience on every review site I possibly can... simply because I was treated terribly by all but two of the 17 agents I spoke with. For the record we service a very wealthy population who we refer to BestBuy regularly - I can guarantee we will NO LONGER DO THIS. I will do my best to ensure that no one I come in contact with purchases from BestBuy. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD, BY FAR.

    Ordering the full suite of kitchen appliances in store went pretty quick and our Customer Service Jeremy ** rep at Pac Sales in Richfield, MN was great. Unfortunately, that's where the great experience ends. Customer service from there on out has been horrible. The delivery guys showed up, and broke the plug on the range. Which then I was expected to call and to reschedule delivery. This process took 2 weeks and 4 phone calls.

    The fridge door was scratched in delivery by Geek Squad agents, and the plastic vent cover on bottom cracked. I was told by the agents that I would need to simply call a number to receive new parts or a gift card. If only it were that easy! Instead I'm 2 weeks in on my phone call journey and the only answers I have received are they may be able to ship me the footer, but if I want a new door I have to call the manufacturer directly and set up that. EVEN THOUGH THEY SCRATCHED IT, I am now responsible for their mistake. Oh, and the kicker, if I chose a gift card from Best Buy? It's for a measly $50. My fridge was over $1300.

    I've ordered many appliances from Best Buy in the past and had good experiences, times have changed. This customer service oversight is beyond reprehensible. I will never purchase appliances from Best Buy again.

    Ordered a dishwasher for my 80 yr old mom and paid $159.99 for installation. When delivery came, without seeing the current dishwasher, the installer began telling me that the new dishwasher probably wouldn’t install without extra revisions, which he could take care of at extra charge. Once he came into the house and looked at the dishwasher, “Yep, this will need extra installation items that would cost extra $.” We sent him away and my husband went to buy a $5 adapter that the installer should have had since this is a common fix.

    The installer was telling us he needed to remove and replace the plumbing valve and rewire the area to plug the dishwasher into. Neither were needed. We had it up and running in 30 min. Makes me FURIOUS that had I not been there, the installer would have taken advantage of my elderly mom and possibly have caused extensive plumbing damage to her home. My understanding is that when you pay for installation, the fee covers installation! BEWARE buyers!!!

    This review was written by my husband, as I was too frazzled to even think. Worst Buy at Best Buy. After an hour the sound on the “LG UBK80 Blu-Ray Player” we had purchased went wonky — deteriorating gradually to static and remaining discordant noise for over a minute thereafter. No big deal. Bad products happen. Now for the fun part: Four days later, we were in Durham and took the DVD player with us to return, but our brake warning light and then alarm went off. We decided to high-tail it back home, 60 miles north.

    My wife calls the Best? Buy today to explain why we couldn’t return yesterday, and suggest that we return it in about 17 days, the next time we have doctors’ appointments in Durham. Worst Buy tells her that their policy is firm, written in stone and carried from the mount: 15 Days from the date of purchase, or you eat it! We offered to mail it to them at our expense. No Go. Rules is rules: read the fine print. Now, we must drive 120 miles to get our money back. And no, we’re not going to simply exchange it as originally intended. No way. And they could never compensate us for my wife’s hour and a half of absolute anguish.

They give me a date and a time frame twice and just never showed up. When I called to check on my order, the waiting to speak with a customer service rep was an hour and 23 minutes, I waited and after passing me with 5 different people because no one knows what was going on, they told me they couldn't help me and I needed to call the next day (my time frames was from noon to 6pm, I called at 6:01pm) and WAIT THE HOUR AND 23 MINUTES AGAIN.

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

    I purchased a LG Refrigerator from Best Buy in August. The same refrigerator was available at other stores but I chose Best Buy for the ability to specifically schedule the delivery and haul-away due to my work schedule. Additionally, my wife and I have two month old twins so we had to plan accordingly for a working fridge. The delivery was set for 8/26/19. Prior to the date, I called to inquire what was required of me to prepare the old fridge for haul away. The old refrigerator was a built-in so I assumed I needed to perform certain steps for haul away. I was informed that it had to be disconnected and taken out of the built-in space.

    I disconnected the water supply, removed all front panels and moved the refrigerator to the center of the kitchen. When the delivery team arrived, they took one look at the fridge and said they could not take it away due to the size. I was informed me that a four-person team was required. There was no mention of this when I called to find out all the details needed for preparation. The new fridge was not delivered on 8/26/19 and the old fridge remained disconnected in the middle of my kitchen.

    The earliest Best Buy could get another team out to the house was three days later on Thursday, 8/29/19. My family, including 2 two-month old babies, would use a cooler over the next three days. I confirmed multiple times with Best Buy that it would be a four-person team completing the delivery on 8/29/19. Regardless, a two-person team arrived AGAIN. The paperwork clearly stated that a four-person team was needed for the delivery and haul away. There was no apology and Best Buy pointed fingers at the delivery service. Vice versa, the delivery service said Best Buy did not schedule it correctly. I had no choice but to accept the new fridge that day due to our need of having a working fridge. However, we had to live with the old fridge sitting in the middle of the kitchen until the haul-away could be coordinated for a third time.

    This is entirely unacceptable. While customer service was accessible over the phone they did little to remedy situation. The haul away was rescheduled for Tuesday, 9/3/19 between 7:00am and 7:41 am. The team arrived at 8:30am. There was no call in advance with an ETA or an explanation for the delay. Subsequently, I was late for work. Again, no apology or accountability from Best Buy or the delivery company.

    I was informed that Best Buy and I could discuss compensation for the errors and inconvenience after the fridge was delivered and the old one taken away. I called the Customer Service Representative and was offered a $75 Best Buy gift card. This compensation that was not worth the aggravation and inconvenience of taking off work and not having a working fridge for three days. I did not accept this meaningless gift card and I should have ordered from Home Depot or any other reliable retailer that offered the same fridge. I will no longer be a Best Buy customer and will continue to share my extremely unpleasant and unprofessional experience with Best Buy to all friends, family and internet reviews.

    They informed me that my warranty expired Saturday and since I didn't put the ticket in then, the warranty was expired. I again informed them that I tried to get someone all weekend. But they told me that they wouldn't honor an extra couple of days. I WILL NEVER BUY A DAMN THING FROM BEST BUY AGAIN!!! I WILL NEVER BUY SAMSUNG AGAIN. I wish Circuit City was still around.

    I needed a new stove and purchased one from Best Buy in Highland, IN on 8.29.19. I was assured it would arrive this morning and would receive a call (that evening) about when delivery would occur. No call came last night or today, and thus, no delivery. Forget about going through Best Buy's automated menu re delivery, which led to a dead end. Luckily, I got a hold of the Appliances Dept., after many rings, and the salesperson from the previous day answered. "Where's my stove?" I asked. "Why no call?" I was then informed that the one stove they had in the warehouse was damaged and that they would have to order one from GE. "When would that come?" "Well, maybe in a week and a half," I was told. Yeah, right. Well, I'm not holding my breath.

    Why sell a product you don't have? More egregious, you set delivery, someone stays home, and you don't even get a call to say that you're not coming. Yeah, she's knocking a bit off the price, but what is my time, inconvenience and anger worth? Now, I feel as if I have to make it my life's work to tell people not to shop at Best Buy.

The manager told me that they would not take it back and, because I did not buy the extended warranty, they were not responsible for the computer not working or whether or not I was happy about it. They told me I would have to return it to the manufacturer for repairs. I run a business from home and this is my only computer; I have important documents and downloads on it.

Have had Geek Squad out here almost 10 times, they have replaced every component of the TV, while also damaging my personal property during their “service”. They won’t replace the tv “because it’s still under factory warranty”, but Samsung won’t come out to perform the factory warranty service, unless I dismount the tv from the wall (as a disabled veteran, I had to pay Best Buy to mount it, because I am unable to physically do anything like that). Instead of coordinating with me, to have Best Buy come and dismount the tv, Samsung keeps closing my work order.

    Last time, the Samsung representative was extremely rude. So, now we have a broken $5000 tv, which we paid EXTRA to Best Buy for a warranty they won’t honor. DO NOT BUY FROM BEST BUY, SAMSUNG, or MAGNOLIA. They will rip you off and tell you to call someone else, who will either tell you to call someone else - or just keep giving you the runaround.

    On 5/26/19, we purchased a suite of Samsung kitchen appliances (stove, dishwasher, microwave & refrigerator) from Best Buy. We also purchased professional installation of the fridge and stove. The stove was back ordered, but the other appliances were delivered on 5/29/19 and the stove was delivered and installed on 6/10/19. We noticed after installation that the right door on the refrigerator wouldn't stay open, so when you tried to access or stock food, the door would hit you in the back (Samsung confirmed this is a problem). We contacted Best Buy and they sent out a Samsung repair man. He looked at the door, told us that model always has that problem and it's as good as it gets. Since this is a $2500 refrigerator, 'as good as it gets' isn't appropriate! We contacted Best Buy again, and they sent out another service person who noted that the doors were not even. He tried, but couldn't get them to be level.

    Also, he couldn't fix the door closing problem. After the 2nd failure to fix the door issue, we contacted Best Buy again, and our issue was escalated to mgmt (Michael and Kinice). Kinice said they should have done an exchange, and she processed that. On 6/29, the replacement fridge was delivered, and it was damaged inside. The delivery man made note of the damage and called his office - they put in for another replacement. That was scheduled for 7/3/19, but was cancelled at the last minute - they just discovered before delivery that the unit was on back-order. On 7/7/19, fridge #3 was delivered, but the delivery man told us to not accept the unit as the door seals were damaged. He contacted his office, and they AGAIN scheduled for a replacement and we kept the damaged unit until it could be replaced.

    On 7/13/19, delivery of fridge #4 was scheduled. We received an email that the delivery was 30 minutes away so we (yet again) emptied the fridge, but then they never showed up. We contacted the store, and they said the unit was back-ordered & didn't know why we weren't told. On 7/25/19, 2 months after our order, the next replacement fridge was finally delivered AND properly installed by a local Geek Squad employee - the first Best Buy employee that actually put a level on the fridge and knew how to make sure the doors worked.

    During removal of the last damaged unit, the delivery crew scratched up our front door and damaged our front sidewalk. They also removed the door hardware from our rear door, and just left it like that when they were done. Now another month has gone by and we're waiting for Best Buy's delivery company's insurance agent to contact us to fix the damages that they left. This has been the worst appliance experience we've ever had, and we will never purchase appliance from Best Buy again because of their poor handling of delivery, 'professional' installation, and repairs on damages.

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

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

    Bought a 4K TV from Best Buy which was ready to be shipped to our home right away, but they upsold the warranty and install and said they would deliver 3 days later and get it installed. The day of the delivery, their MV office refuses to provide the product to the installer (Best Buy's own third party install vendor) and then sends an automated message to me (the customer) that you need to go online and reschedule your delivery. No further info provided. We spend the entire day Tuesday speaking with floor managers in Irvine, CA location who finally explain what happened and that they are sorry. No communication was made between Best Buy and the installer prior to the appointment time to update product availability or warn them or US of any issues.

    After spending hours back and forth with Irvine, CA manager, we get a reschedule for today and this time the product is to be picked from the Tustin, CA location. The same episode repeats again where Best Buy refuses to release the product to the installer resulting in a cancellation of our appointment AGAIN. No communication is made by Best Buy or their Irvine or Tustin managers to US the customer of the latest issues. Upon spending the entire morning calling between Tustin and Irvine and speaking with random managers, it is revealed that the system was NOT updated yesterday to change pick up location from MV to Tustin (despite us spending many hours on the phone with managers who continued promising a resolution to us)--> what does this prove? INEFFICIENT PROCESSES, SYSTEMS AND EMPLOYEES at Best BUY who are the WORST at customer service.

    They have no sense of urgency, DO NOT learn from their mistakes and continue torturing their customers with their inefficient practices and lack of communication skills. For a retail giant, BEST BUY sure SUCKS at customer service. You are IN business cos of your customers. If you are going to continue to display such incompetencies, there will be NO customer. Have never dealt with such incompetent people who lack the basic concept of COMMUNICATION. PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL YOUR COLLEAGUES AND STOP DEPENDING ON AND BLAMING COMPUTERS FOR ALL YOUR MISSES!

    I have always been wary of purchasing any technology at Best Buy. When my son needed a replacement laptop, we decided to consider Best Buy, since we were looking for a refurbished Apple laptop, and with Best Buy being a certified Apple Reseller, we didn't think what we were getting would be defective. BOY WERE WE WRONG!!!! The laptop was shipped to our local store for pick-up. When we brought it home, it would not start up, leading us to think the operating system wasn't installed. No problem, my husband used to be a Mac IT guy and knew how to do that. He couldn't even do that because THERE WAS NO HARD DRIVE IN THE COMPUTER!!! The product we ordered was a MacBook Pro listed as having a 320GB hard drive, so of course we expected that we would get what we ordered.

    My husband went back to the Best Buy where he picked up the laptop, and was told they couldn't do anything since the laptop had been purchased from another store. However, he was told he could purchase a new hard drive and have it installed. My husband said that there was no way he would do that since he already paid for the hard drive as part of his purchase. The customer service guy he dealt with also happened to be the manager and said he couldn't do anything more, because that is what he was told to. At any rate, we were still able to return the laptop. Best Buy tried to only refund part of the money because of some "free" software on a disk that was included with the order, which by the way wasn't in the shipping box. (My son also told me that when he and his dad picked up the order, the box was already open.) Eventually, the full amount was refunded.

    What makes me so angry is that customer service wasn't even concerned that a defective product was shipped. There was no effort to go above and beyond what the store manager was told to do by the higher ups. I know that the Geek Squad at Best Buy is now an authorized Apple repair service, and the customer service guy could have brought one of those guys over to help. He could have also called the store from where the defective computer was shipped. At least we got our money back, but my son is still without a laptop for school.

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

    I've bought a built-in oven with the installation. I needed to make two thin cuts to fit the new oven in the cabinet so I made myself sure that the installation I was paying was covered. The company has implemented a systemic method to deceive consumers about delivery dates and services. The installation process is a corrupt operation. The installer will missed appointments, and when showed up late he didn't want to do the job making excuses to charge additionals. I had to pay $200 for an installation that was included. I also have the transcript of the chat with the sales agent when I confirmed this.

    The installer said, “I have to charge you but you can claim to this number and they will immediately refund you to the credit card.” I'm sure you can imagine what happened right! The 1-888-Best-Buy would better be renamed to 1-888-just-die because that is what will happen to you after hours and hours of waiting for someone to pick up. If you are patient enough to watch the grass grow and seasons pass at the phone, they will eventually take the claim, act surprised, and say the magic phrase, “Your case number is XXXX. We will call you. We are very sorry we are experiencing a high volume of calls for several months.” So many months--that is incredible. It is also incredible that the case doesn't have a follow-up. Isn't this a great way to avoid responsibility?

At first it went smoothly, but then went south. Salesman said having trouble activating. Called Verizon and put my husband on the phone and grilled him. Had to give his full Social Security number 2 times, and still nothing was resolved. Salesman couldn’t ever look us in the eye.

    I was there today and can suggest one reason many customers are unhappy. Service! I took back an UNOPENED and SEALED software package and they refused to take it back as it had been longer than 15 days since I purchased it. First of all, they still carry the item and it would have been good PR (and no loss to them) to have allowed the return and put it back on the shelf. Secondly, even though their policy is to only accept returns for 15 days, a reasonable customer would assume that referred to an OPENED software product. Third, even after explaining to the person said to be the manager (Travis) that I live a distance away and it was inconvenient to return (I was nearby today and could stop in), that did not persuade him.

    Finally, I have been a long time customer with loyalty to Best Buy as my “go to” electronics store. Never more! Even as I expressed my dismay to Travis that I would not frequent Best Buy again, he said “do whatever you want”. What! Not even sorry to lose a customer! Poor service and poor selection of managers! And to go further, I couldn’t even find a way to directly complain on the Best Buy website, despite logging on with my customer number!

    I am extremely disappointed in Best Buy’s return policy. I purchased a GoPro remote as a gift for my husband. I did this at least one week before the celebration as I was not aware of the 15 day limit. By the time he opened it and thought it through, he decided it wouldn’t get used enough. So, I went to the store with the receipt. I waited until after vacation and arrived 21 days after my purchase. The item was in the original box and had not been opened. All the associate would do was repeat “Unfortunately, you are past the return period”. I was not even offered store credit. So, I’m stuck with an expensive item that we do not need.

    This makes no sense. How are you supposed to buy things ahead anymore? How hard is it to prominently print the return policy in bold font for consumers to see under the purchase total of the receipt, not at the bottom amongst other words and in vague verbiage? Better yet, be great at customer service and give a first time “offender” a warning and take the item back. Require them to register in order to track their future purchases and returns for your benefit. I am sad and frustrated. As a result, I have shopped at Best Buy for the last time. P.S. - Anyone need a GoPro remote? *Naturally, they didn’t look into the fact that we bought the GoPro there, along with other accessories. Why would they? So disappointed!

    As of this morning I was sent an alert by Equifax that one of my accounts had increased in value. I panicked thinking someone had hacked into one of my cards. It turns out that my Best Buy account had gone from $1,315 to 1,626. Called Best Buy immediately to find out that a fridge I had purchased in 2017 was under a promotion and that promotion was expiring on June 27, 2019. The promotion was that if I did not pay off the fridge by June 27, 2019 I will get the balance and the interest added to my existing account. Since I was making the minimum payments, I had not paid off my fridge. I was caught totally unaware.

    I know I bought a fridge. But I have no recollection of the promotion and the terms of the promotion. Upon studying my bill, I see the promotion is listed on the 2nd or 3rd page of my paperless bill. I pay my bills the very day they are received in my email. I look for minimum payments and dutifully submit those. I find the bill that Best Buy has designed is to make customers fail to meet the promotional requirements. If Best Buy had added that to my minimum amount due I would not have been penalized and by now would have met my financial obligations to Best Buy. Had Best Buy sent out alerts telling me I was behind on my promotional payments even though I was on time with my regular payments. Had Best Buy added a line to the bill stating minimum amount due with promotional payments, I again would have met my financial obligations to Best Buy.

    As a customer I dutifully paid my minimum payments on time. I have zero recollection of the promotion even though I know I bought a fridge from Best Buy. Maybe the sales person sold me the fridge and gave me the impression that it will all come out in my minimum payment due. Whatever the case may be, BEST BUY needs to rethink the way it bills its customers offering these promotions. I feel these promotions are designed to make customers fail so Best Buy can make money.

    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").

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.

    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! Pissed off in Paramus.

    I'm a Disabled US Army Veteran, and an elderly man who had been using GreatCall Devices for some time, GreatCall told me three months ago they have a new updated version and I should buy it. I did buy it, it promised it was WaterProof, it is NOT. They said he has 911. It does not. They said it has a Fall Detector. It does NOT. They said it has enhanced GPS. It does NOT. Everything they said was a lied and false.

    I needed it most in two recent falls and it never worked, even the connection to my children to be notified never worked. 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.

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!!!!)

    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.

    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.

    I planned to go for a run today, watched a few videos on earphones and went to my local Best Buy to get one. Here is my situation. 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.

    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.

The best customer service experience I’ve received in person in so long. Thank you so much!

    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.

    The day before my vacation I purchased a Gimbal Mobile at Best Buy, during my trip I went to set up the device to start filming my vacation. Turns out the product is damaged, the stabilizer doesn't work. I arrive back home 2 weeks later and want to return the product and I can't because Best Buy doesn't accept anything after 14 days. Whatever happened to customer satisfaction and 30 day returns? Because of ONE day later I won't be able to return and am stuck with a damaged product that cost me $200. I will NEVER buy anything from Best Buy ever again.

    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 bought the Librarian movie trilogy and none of the DVDs would play correctly. I tried contacting Best Buy with no response. I took the DVDs to my nearest store 30 miles away to turn them in and found out they had been returned as not working in another state. This is so sad, that a major co. can get away with this.

    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.
