I had ordered a refrigerator from Best Buy and when it came, it had a large dent on the side. After speaking with the delivery men, they called a Best Buy agent who confirmed that I would get a $75 refund added back to my credit card. They said I would receive a call from an agent in a couple of days. I never did so I called customer service. After running through the situation with them, they confirmed that I would get the $75 refund back on my credit card and that I would see it in my next billing cycle. Instead, some weeks later, I received a gift card. I don't want a gift card. I see this as making me spend more money on Best Buy products instead of giving me back my money that I spent on their defective product. So, I called customer service again. I had to re-go over my situation several times for something that should be pretty simple. I want the money refunded to the credit card that I used instead of a gift card. After wasting a lot of time on this, I was told that they could cancel the gift card and that I would receive a call within 24 hrs regarding my credit card refund. Knowing how this went last time (someone promising me that I would receive a call and then never receiving it), I asked for a phone number I could call if I didn't receive the call or a complaint ID I could have for tracking purposes. I didn't want to lose the $75 I currently had. Instead, they hung up on me. Wow... I have never had such an unprofessional encounter with a big retailer before. Will never shop at Best Buy again.
