Bestbuy’s Customer Service is HORRENDOUS! THE worst customer service I have ever experienced!!
Quick backstory…. I recently purchased a Frigidaire mini-fridge on Bestbuy.com and it got delivered to my house. I unpacked it only to find a badly fridge (not ideal ofcourse but it happens, I get it… I was trying to be understanding). However, Best Buy’s customer service to address the situation was what got me all worked up.
In summary, I called BB’s customer service and off the bat, they tried to push me off to the store to address the issue. I explained to them that I cannot fit the fridge in my car but they kept insisting it was the best approach to get the issue resolved! Really?! Finally when they understood, they took forever to process the return and replacement…. And common courtesy would be to offer me a compensation for the delay, inconvenience and frustration - but no offer. When I asked, after much consideration, they offered me a laughable $10 credit to my order. Hah!
So I have to repack this fridge and leave it for pickup. Here’s the real kicker, when the replacement fridge was finally delivered, it was in even worse shape than the first delivery. The box was damaged severely and someone (Bestbuy? Fedex?) had tried to patch it up with flimsy cardboard and tape. I emailed them and guess what…they try to pawn me off to the store! I called them and explain the situation. This time I ask to talk to a manager right away and the rep, like a broken radio, kept repeating the manager is engaged with another customer and that he can help… basically he just refused to transfer me, and then hung up on me!! Ugh :-/ I call back and get transferred around to different departments, but no manager. With each rep, I have to explain my situation and my frustration level continues to rise. When I finally get a hold of a manager, he apologizes and sets up the return/exchange. No compensation offered again. Few days later, unlike as promised, no exchange fridge!! I have no choice but to call back, talk to several incompetent reps that are reading from scripts and no help at all.
I am sick and tired of Best Buy. Part of the reason for this lousy customer service is that they have outsourced their customer service to some remote place where the reps cannot speak decent English, have thick accents, don’t listen or comprehend the customer’s frustration and are following a script .. .and super slow to resolve anything.
Oh btw I one of the reps promised me $100 compensation which they never honored.
Stay far away from this company! You will only get headaches, stress and many hours of your life that you will never get back.
No wonder Best Buy went out of business!!
