New release did purchase

"Best Buy has a big display right when you walk in. The display has big letters that say NEW RELEASE.
I bought the cheapest of the displayed xmen movie. I get home and the movie was not the new but rather the old xmen movie in a new cover. The old one was not in the wrong spot either. When I tried to return the movie for the new one they would not take the rerun saying that it's a dad and they don't allow dvd return.

Horrible Delivery Service

"I cannot express how angry and frustrated I am with Best Buy's delivery service, or lack thereof.


We ordered 4 thousand dollars worth of appliances (and have spent many thousands more at Best Buy over the years), and setup a delivery for 9/15/2016 between 4pm and 8pm. We received a call on 9/14 confirming the delivery window of 4pm to 8pm and that we would receive a call 30 min before delivery.

On 9/15 at 2:30pm my wife received a call from the rudest, nastiest individual we have had the displeasure of dealing with, stating that he was 25 minutes away. My wife advised that our appointment was for 4 to 8 and no one is home. The driver stated too bad, he will be there in 25 minutes (at 3pm). At the time I was at work, and my wife was working at a fair in our food truck.

I called customer service, and the rep called the warehouse (who called the driver). The CS rep stated that the driver was told not to come at 3pm, but THAT HE WOULD BE THERE AT 4 PM SHARP, and to make sure I was home. Fair enough, I let work early to make sure I was home at 4pm.

Their driver never showed.

At 7pm he called and started yelling at my wife, asking her if she was home yet, and hung up. He then called back and stated he had other deliveries to do and would not make it. At this time, I called into customer service again.

While I was on hold with customer service, a warehouse rep called my wife (who conferenced me into the call) and the rep asked why we were complaining, we were still in the delivery window. Then she stated we refused delivery, that the driver was at my house and I refused. I hung up that call since I was on the phone with a CS rep and didnt want to get disconnected. The driver never came, he is a flat out liar, and is the nastiest individual to deal with on the phone.

I was transferred to a supervisor, since the rep stated that we would not get a delivery, and we would not be able to reschedule since the items are still on the truck.

At 8pm, (I had been on the phone for over an hour now) the CS supervisor, who was horrified at the excuse she was given, and even she realized that in no way could the driver been here at 7pm, since I was on the phone for over an hour, starting before 7pm, trying to get delivery. And what could she do to not lose us as a customer.

The reality is, she was powerless to do anything, there is nothing she could do to even re-schedule our appliances. Meanwhile, I have electricians and plumbers coming to my house today, that I have to pay for, but they cannot do any work since we do not have the appliances, and have no ETA of when they will be delivered. Now they say they can come on the 20th, my counter tops are scheduled to be installed on the 19th and need the appliances there before then.

Best Buy's driver made me leave work early, knowing full well that he had zero intention of delivering my appliances. Since I could not accommodate getting the delivery early, he decided to screw me over and deliberately withheld the delivery, and lied about the circumstances. By the brazen way he did it, and with the level of vulgarities hurled at my wife, it is obvious he has been doing it without recourse for quite some time, and has no fear of repercussions for treating the customers this way, since the warehouse obviously condones the behavior.

We have spent thousands of dollars over the years, and with the purchase of our new home will be in need of additional electronics in the immediate future. (Washer dryer, 2 more TV's just to start) and had planned on getting them where we get all of our appliances and electronics from Best Buy,,,, But with this experience, that will not be happening, and I will be telling everyone I know, and anyone I don't know that wants to listen, about the absolute horrible experience it is dealing with Best Buy's delivery people.

Worst retail establishment

"Made the mistake of purchasing a Note7 from BestBuy.com. After Samsung announced the recall I waited 5 days to return my note to bestbuy for a refund. The staff was completely clueless about the returns and rude. They refused to return my Note7 past 14 days even though the bestbuy website clearly said they will. After contacting corporate, the manager gave a completely fabricated lie staying there was an incident that took place with me in their store. There was NO truth to that whatsoever. Closest to that was I told a friend who was with me "wow these people are idiots" "

-Recived voicemail confirmation Wed evening for Thur install between 4-8pm
-Recieved call from tech at 10am Thur saying they would be arriving shortly
-Told them NO it needed to be in the window of 4-8 as scheduled
-Tech said he would call company and let them know and someone would reach out to me
-3pm Thursdau amd no one had reached out to me to explain what happened
-Left work early and sufferred approximately $100 loss to ensure I was available for delivery
-Tore out dishwasher and kitchen and living room mess to provide space to move everything
-3:15PM called and spoke with Rep for 40 min. while they attempted to track down installation crew
-Rep said they would call back when contact made & they never called back
-5:00PM called and went through the same senario. Never received a call back and they could not contact the crew
-6:30PM Called again and received same service. Could not contact crew but assured me someone would contact me
-8:10PM Called and spoke with Rep again and received same service. No idea where crew was and attempted to get ahold of them
-Crew was never contacted and no one from Best Buy or Delivery company contacted me
-I WAS NEVER COMMUNICATED WITH !!! No one called to say there was a delay or reschedule was missing
-This was a complete "No Call - No Show"
-Called BB Friday morning at 8am and spoke to rep
-Rep said they would be unable to deliver today because the trucks already went out
-How in the world do you miss an Afternoon delivery and then not deliver the next day!!!
-Rep said the Delivery Company would have to compensate me for my inconvenience
-My business was with Best Buy, not their contracted delivery company
-The company would not deliver Friday but said they would deliver Saturday morning between 8am and 12
-Shortly after received BestBuy email stating delivery would be Monday
-Called again and was told that morning was taken up so they pushed it to Monday
-They then asked if I wanted Sat afternoon instead. DUH!!! Of course.
-This was the worst experience ever in customer service
-6 Phone calls taking amounting to about 4 hours of my life and also loss of work time
-Delivery company did say they would send a $75 gift card but really this should be doubled at minimum!
-I work in customer service and would never let a client have this type of treatment

Go somewhere else

"I was going to purchase a printer and a laptop from BestBuy. The ad online said that 3 were available for the laptop. When I went back in the next day to purchase it said that none were available within 250 miles. So I had to call 3 stores until I finally got someone to answer. I was wanting a raincheck for the pc because it was on sale. NO RAINCHECKS. Fine. I will buy from NEBRASKA FURNITURE MART FROM NOW ON! "

Customer service my @*!

"https://www-ssl.bestbuy.com/profile/orders/order-details?orderId=BBY01-787675014860

Best Buy double charged my bank account debit card and daily debit card limit it $1500. It shows daily I agreed to pay two payments of $1396.

I asked Best Buy to advise my bank they are releasing one of the payments. They faxed my bank blank paper.

It causes me problems using my debit card because my daily limit is $1500 and the charges show daily eating up my limit. I just held for 30 minutes and nobody picked up on their help line.

Grrrrrr

Scares me, how will delivery go?

Failed to deliver, awful customer sales.

"I bought a computer from Best Buy, which was advertised on their website.
The following day they emailed me saying that the order had been cancelled, due to missing information on my account. I contacted them and the customer service rep said that the order couldn't go through as my credit card company had declined the sale, which I knew to be untrue, as I had already spoken to my bank about this.
I got my bank on the line, they were able to confirm to Best Buy that they had approved the credit card transaction. The Best Buy person then admitted that they did not have this computer in stock and thus couldn't deliver it. They had sold me something that wasn't available, then further, wasted both my time and my bank's time.

NO ONE SHOULD BUY FROM BESTBUY.COM

"after attempting to complete online order 3 times by order / cancel , order / cancel, order/cancel, it is still not completed, not able to finalized the order. they don't seem to care too much about earning my business. customer service rep at 888 number are terrible with ' I don't care' attitude. waiting on hold was ridiculous, even with call back request, they called me and had me on hold for 17 minutes until someone answered. 17 minutes hold when THEY called me !!! Anyway, you can find the same prices everywhere, BEST BUY'S service ****!!!! They don't care about your business ."

A reason to never shop at Best Buy

"I bought an expensive Nikon camera at BB. They gave me a $50 gift certificate for buying it! Sweet right? So it expired in June according to the email. So yesterday I bought a 60 inch Samsung tv. Tried to use the $50 certificate but the sales girl rudely told me I could not. Okay. Why I ask? She cannot see it on my account. I bought the tv anyway and went home to research it. Logged on and there is the certificate! So I emailed BB. Ross emailed me back and told me to return the television and repurchase it and we will honor the coupon. Return a 60 inch television that I struggled to even haul into my house and have already set up???? Best Buy will not honor it's own certificates!!!!! Do not shop there, they are rude and this solution is unacceptable."

careful what you believe

"I bought a high rated computer from Best Buy, they said it was 'unsecured' so I bought their Webroot antivirus, for a 2 year deal the cost was 97 dollars, 50 for 2 years and 47 for the software...when I started the computer I noticed that McAfee was already installed...went back and both the returns person and manager attacked McAfee as a second rate antivirus and wouldn't refund the Webroot...they claimed the Webroot was rated much better. Later I returned and talked to another manager, he agreed that I had bought their antivirus after being misinformed but still raved about theirs and said I should use it. So, I downloaded it and noticed the computer seemed to be working harder to function. I then did what I should have done before, check the ratings of PC magazine, both McAfee and Webroot were rated high and exactly the same, but I could tell that McAfee was working better on my machine, so in the morning I reinstalled McAfee..., I went back a third time and found the right person, the boss, he gave me the refund gladly even when I wasn't expecting it now,,,so I feel satisfied, glad I stayed calm and kept at it until the issue was resolved. Just don't want anyone else to go through this, as they are too eager to upsell their virus protector product."

BestBuy is a pathetic joke! Avoid at all costs!

"So far I have been waiting for over a week for my in-store pick up to be available. Nobody has any information as to when my order will be ready. The clowns at Bestbuy did not even contact me when they missed the original pick-up date.
The customer service reps are arrogant and clueless, acting like they are doing customers a favor.
Unless you want unnecessary aggravation avoid bestbuy!!
Buy from amazon, they almost never miss the delivery date and are much more reliable than these clowns.

A great experience!

"


"I ordered the Beelink X2 Android TV box from Gearbest, and the package arrived about 3 weeks later. The delivery time was known to me at time of purchase, so this is fine. Despite the very low price of the TV box, I am very pleased with it. It works like a charm and came with a great movie theater app already installed, together with a few other apps. As it is Android, I can also download any app from Google Play. All in all a great experience shopping at Gearbest, and also a great product."

SOLD ME FAULTY GOODS

"i bought a pyle PLTS78DUB from best buy while on holiday purchase date 14/04/2016 when we arrived home back in the uk i took the unit to be fitted and the fitter found that it was faulty as it kept blowing fuses ..(LOOKS LIKE AN OLD UNIT IN THE BOX)
many phone calls and passed from dept to dept even sent emails only to be told "GET IN TOUCH WITH THE MANUFACTURER" which we did and to return the faulty unit would be just over double what we paid for it..
i will buy from them ever again ...my son wanted a new go-pro while we where there and i am so glad i did not buy it for him.(we got one back in the uk).
i found i got a lot better service in WALLMART than best buy..

Prices higher than Walmart, but no more expertise

"Avoid at all costs. The supposed expertise in electronics is a farce: they can sell it, but when they send out for service, all bets are off: my defective (Lenovo) computer was replaced on warranty -- but with all the programs and data stripped. They offered to move the data for $200. I was to buy all my programs again. For this kind of service, buy at Sam's or Walmart."
