“In the pallid glow of a flickering screen, I ventured forth to procure an electronic marvel from the emporium known as Best Buy—a place once regarded as a palace of convenience and promise. Whispers of modernity danced in the air, yet shadows loomed, foreboding and grim.
Alas! The timeline, it seemed, was but a wretched specter, taunting me from the recesses of its own inexorable delay. What woe did I encounter as the days turned to weeks, the promised innovation lingering in a purgatorial limbo, never to grace my eager hands. The ghostly silence from the deliverers of commerce filled me with a disquiet that gnawed at my very soul.
With trembling fingers, I reached out to the fabled realm of customer service—an endeavor that proved more a descent into madness than a quest for salvation. Oh, the lack of resolution, the impotence of those tasked with the mantle of assistance! Their responses were but echoes in a cavernous void, devoid of substance, bereft of understanding. A simple problem—resolved, perhaps, in the realm of reason—became a Sisyphean task, rolling endlessly without end or hope.
And lo! The refund, a beacon of hope set adrift, has yet to return to my grasp. I am mired in the quagmire of unresolved transactions, an anguished seeker of restitution in a realm where compassion has long been forsaken. Where is the benevolent clerk, the guiding hand of management? All avenues to the local store remain cloaked in shadows, and the administrative spirits elude me, as if they conspire to cloak the truth in an impenetrable fog.
Thus, I pen this lament, a requiem for the ideals of service expected but not delivered. The very essence of Best Buy is now reduced to an echo of disillusionment—a bitter reminder that not all that glitters is gold. In this bleak landscape of unfathomable bureaucracy, I remain, a solitary figure, seeking solace in the hope that somewhere, deep within the labyrinthine halls of corporate indifference, my plight may yet be heard. But until that day, I shall linger in the shadows, a victim of a dream deferred, waiting for a resolution that may never find its way to the light.”
“Worst customer service ever. Don't order anything from best buy. They outsource all their installation and delivery to this company called CRST home solutions who also deserve 0 stars who themselves outsource all their installation to smaller subcontractors who never show up. It's been over 3 weeks and I am still waiting for my tv to be delivered and installed. I was supposed to get this done 3 weeks ago. They had scheduled multiple appointments but did a no show all the time. Despite all this all they have to offer is a $60 giftcard for inconvenience. Never ever order anything from best buy unless you like wasting hours and hours talking to their customer support team based overseas who are of no help either. Do business with a local smaller store instead and save yourself from all the hassle.”
“NEVER GET A BEST BUY CREDIT CARD.
My son and I bought a computer from best buy. We opend a credit card account so he could get the computer for school.
at the time my son was 17 with a small job. He said he would pay his bill. He always paid extra a month on this bill. Apprently he paid a payment after the promotion was over and when we found out we called to see how much was left they told us 500 and we would be done paying. My son paid the 500. A couple months later we wanted to know why the bill was so high. They said you still have interest payments. Because you paid after the promotion. If this ain't a SCAM.
This is ridiculous they stealing people money. Got us paying on a computer that I'd paid off and has depreciated in value.
This company is a scam”
“I bought a computer from Best Buy and it included a deal for reduced widows software so I bought that too.
Like many others have stated, when I cancelled the computer, Best Buy still sold me the software……which I no longer wanted.
Now, the keep sending me nice little reminders to install my software that I never wanted and I can’t return it. Beware don’t add the software when you’re buying a computer package at Best Buy since if you cancel it, you can’t cancel the software and it’s impossible to get them to refund you.”
“Ordered an appliance online. Delivery scheduled with confirmation of delivery texted to me that morning with a TWELVE-hour window...stayed home all day and they never showed. I received no text, email or call informing me of any change to the delivery schedule (no emails in spam folder either). Called customer service who reported that they could not determine why the delivery was not completed and directed me to call Geek Squad (the delivery service) to find out what occurred. On hold with Geek Squad for 45 minutes with no answer. Totally pathetic customer service. I took a day off work for this! I will never purchase anything from this company again.”
“I tried to get in touch with the store and it sent me to the national hot line I end up getting somebody from some other country and never get sent to the store. The person was unable to help me and tell me what was wrong with my computer and when it may or may not be ready it’s ridiculous that there is no way to get hold of the store without having to drive all the way over there. The person that I spoke to was rude, obnoxious, and spoke to me like I was stupid and had no right to speak to him. I will never use Best Buy again and I will make sure everybody in the free country knows this and how you treat your customers and how poor your customer service is because it really sucks ass.”
“Geek squad support - ANDREW is AMAZING. Andrew was patient, thoughtful, incredibly knowledgeable, empathetic, and truly one of a kind. I’m beyond impressed not only with his computer skills, but customer service. Outstanding job, Andrew!”
“Worst customer service!
We bought a washing machine a few weeks ago at Best Buy in Rockville, MD, and made sure to update our address as well as our delivery address. We even received a printout confirming these details. However, on the delivery day, the company contacted us only to inform us that they had arrived at our former house, which is just a minute's drive from our current home. We asked them to come to our correct address, but they refused, citing a "Best Buy Policy." They mentioned that the delivery might be rescheduled for Thursday but advised us to call customer service.
When we contacted customer service, they informed us that the delivery could only be made a week later. They admitted that it was a system error, despite the correct address being on file. This delay was extremely problematic for us, so we asked to escalate the case. A few hours later, a senior customer service agent called us back, confirming that the delivery team had the wrong address. We requested that the delivery be made as soon as possible, not in a week. The agent promised to check if an earlier delivery was possible and said someone would contact us, but this never happened.
We called customer service again to inquire about the status, only to be told that instead of trying to deliver the washing machine earlier, the delivery would be further delayed. When we asked to escalate the issue again, the customer service agent claimed there was no escalation mechanism, which is completely untrue. We requested to speak with someone more senior, or a manager, and were told that someone would contact us within 15 minutes. This never happened.
The next day, we called customer service again and ensured the delivery was scheduled for the delayed date. We were then informed that, due to our bad experience, we would receive a $75 gift card as compensation. At this point, we were completely frustrated with the terrible customer service and just wanted to make sure we would at least receive the washing machine”
“Never buy anything online from Best Buy. They have no support after that. I bought a phone that ended up being defective but they never gave me support on that, instead of that, they transferred my call multiple times for nothing. I'd never buy anything at Best Buy again.”
“I purchased an opened-boxed dryer from Best Buy online. I accidentally purchased the wrong size and the ventless dryer as a Senior I didn't fully understand what that meant but a couple of days before delivery I reached out to them Tora was the young lady to whom I talked I asked if I needed anything else for installation as I brought a vent she said no you're fine. I didn't even need a vent. I accidentally purchased the wrong size and the ventless dryer I explained that I didn't quite understand what that meant at the time of purchasing him as a Senior that is not something I am familiar with and asked if they could exchange it for a bigger size and the one that use a vent. I am willing to pay the difference but no amount of pleading and begging could persuade any of these customer service Rep.They're brutal, compassionless and without empathy.I understand about the opened-box policy but sometimes in life we can be forgiving and just do the right as I am sure someone else would have purchased this dryer if return .I am not a first-time buyer at Best Buy my kitchen appliances are about $4,000 purchased at their store but mentioned this makes no difference. This thing is not only the size but also the maintenance too much for a Senior to remember. I am now stuck with something I don't want. In life sometimes we have to compromise and give a little and forgive a little. The other the delivery guys trampled around and my hardwood floor with his heavy work boots.From beginning to ending just an overall horrible and nerve-wracking experience”
“BestBuySmall is a scam. My order was paid for but never received. I even received a fake tracking number through 17track, which also seems to be a scam.”
“I purchased a TV from Best Buy three years ago. The remote already broke. I bought a new one, also in Best Buy to replace it, just three months ago and that one broke as well. When I tried to exchange it, your manager said he couldn’t exchange it because it was more than two weeks. “Store policy” Well your store policy sucks! Plus your sales rep didn’t know much! He had no clue….You might want to train your help better! What remote dies in just two weeks?? So much for your policy!!! Apparently you’re going downhill from what I’ve seen.
I bought a TV from there not too long ago and now I regret it. That representative was kind and nice, but I’m still sorry I gave you the business. A remote breaks after just three months and you don’t exchange it?! That’s an unethical way to do business. So I went to PC Richard, purchased one there; their policy is you can return it within two weeks and you can exchange it within a year. That’s how you do business. You might want to take a lesson from a higher class corporation…How dare you not stand behind your items. If you’re selling it you’re responsible. Your manager told me to get in touch with the manufacturer. How dare he?! Don’t sell items if you’re not going to stand behind them. I will never shop with Best Buy again. Three people told me not to and they were absolutely right. Now I move on to consumers affairs, and IRONICALLY they’ve had many complaints about you as well. You people should shape up and start treating your customers right and do right by the CUSTOMER!! Your policy is horrible and you will continue to lose customers….”
“Worst online service ever. I placed an online order and I never received the email confirmation. After I expended one hour in a call with "Customer Service Support" they have explained to me that an old address was in their system, an old address that I don't have since 10 years ago and email address that I have updated 10 years ago in their portal. Even thought I use the new email address to login and they see my new email address on the order they cannot email me my own order because the customer support team cannot re-send online orders . The process of removing the old email take 5 business day. So I was not able to have a copy of my order number and I need to wait 5 business day to see if I can finally access my account because even though I can login with my new email since 10 years ago the website every time that I click on any menu ask me to validate my old email.”
“Best Buy warranty is misleading. I bought a item 2months ago and was installed buy best buy on that day. It stop working. There receipt says lifetime instillation warranty and 1 year on part. now they change there mind and don"t want to honor there written warranty. Do not get burned . Stay away from this best buy at 2222 w Thunderbird rd phx az”
“Took 45.00 from me returning a phone that cost 229.00 plus tax he gave me a 40 dollar gift card which really equals 30.00. I could have bought it on Amazon with no return fee I'm finished with them I will never do business it neve said there was a return fee you have to to a search that is not right. You lost my business and the reviews get worse every day.”
“Hello...
I was in your store 0155 on 7/23 and purchased a open box Sony TV. I was so excited in regards to my purchased. When my husband and I got home we put the TV up on the wall and when we turned it to a movie the audio was off was not in synch with the people talking.
We was so disappointed the picture played excellent clear superb. So today on / 25 we went to store 0155 I can't remember the person name who helped us carry in the TV but he was very nice. When they took the TV to the geek station 2 managers were ther Denis Smith and Alex Bondie so my husband and I tried to explain what happen and they addressed us like we were not telling the truth and the manger bullied the worker there right in front of us so out of character.
I was so upset because I didn't feel valued as a person spending her money to purchase a TV Denis Smith and Alex Bondie did not try to resolve the issue because they didn't believe us. Some how when they test it.
Then one of their employees name Matthew Perez seen I was upset and went above and beyond in trying to assist us. My husband just wanted to get his money back and go somewhere else because how we were treated. So based Matthew expertise and customer service skills I talked my husband into buying a TV that was reasonable. I did not want to buy anything because why would I spend my money at a place that don't value their customers. So i really didn't get the TV I wanted just wanted to buy one from Matthew because he was so genuine.
So I'm at home wondering why do managers take on job positions that's not in their character.
Well I hope you can assist me in this matter of giving them some customer service training or management

“I want to express my gratitude to De Cesar Hacker for helping me track down a romance scammer. They used their expertise to trace the GPS location of my fake lover, leading to her arrest. She had been posing as a company representative, tricking me into revealing sensitive information and taking money from my bank accounts.
Within hours, the support team traced her location, which I shared with law enforcement. The authorities apprehended her and brought her to justice. Thanks to their quick thinking, I avoided further financial loss and potentially saved others from the same scam.

“DON'T BUY FROM BEST BUY
I have never had a positive support experience with them! They are absolutely disappointing. They sold me an eSIM which they themselves couldn't activate; but refused to refund the item. Basically taking my money, not delivering the product, and refusing to refund (you can check the dictionary to see what this action is called!).
I'll never buy anything from them again. Stick with Amazon and Walmart.”
