“I visited best buy store (parkway plaza el cajon), unfortunately l left unsatisfied,
I had purchased couple of phones iPhone 8 and galaxy S9 last March 2018 and the seller had installed a modified screen protector on one of them now it started to peel off so I went to get another one willing to pay for, I was told I would be charged to put it on, the seller said he cant help but a manager is able to help and Mr Baha as a manager was called to help but,from a distance over 15 yards he said "wats up" I explained and asked if he can wave the charg, without any hesitation replied "This is our police we charge every one no exception" I said I wasn't charged initialy when they put the wrong screen protector on , he said I don't know why also the seller asked me for information to check if I was charged, So here they indirectly called me a layer and even bothered to be discreet about it , Karim Baha's behavior and body language mad me feel he is telling me "I CAN HELP BUT I WON'T" so I asked for his information, he gave me his card without out any apology that he didn't help as like he is saying "Complain to however all you want I won't help"he wasn't rude but very unprofessional .
He should have said " I am sorry I cant help it the policy " instead of ""This is our police we charge every one no exception"" and he should have waited until he is close to greet of course not with "Wats up"
And if you don't trust what a customer says don't ask them their information to check if what they say is right or wrong, just check your database and even if they're wrong or not telling the truth there is proper Ways of approaching that.
I contacted the customer service FB after few tries they responded only to thank me for bringing it to their attention without any apology for inconvenience, they were just as bad, I hope this gets to Mr Karim Baha maybe he'll do better next time, as for me I probably will no longer perchance from "Worst buy "”
“Unprofessional Treatment by management and customer service and sell associates, I will rename it " Worst buy "

“Best Buy is a waste of time and deserves 0 stars. I ordered a washer and dryer online early on 2/20/19, paid for the 5 year warranty, and the old appliance removal. They gladly accepted my money and sent me a confirmation for delivery on 2/24/19. I got a recorded call yesterday to reschedule my delivery. When I called to reschedule, I was bounced around repeatedly to different departments. Two agents found my order but the third agent couldn't even find my order. I got another email this morning to reschedule my delivery. I then got another confirmation that my delivery would be between 12n-4pm on 12/25. At 4pm today, I received another email advising that my order has been cancelled. After being placed on hold for a lengthy time, an associate informs me that the item is no longer available. It is still on the website as being available, even for pick up in Memphis. I don't have a vehicle to pick up the large appliances at the store. BEST BUY WASTED A HUGE AMOUNT OF MY TIME WITH THEIR GAMES AND INCOMPETENCE. Now I am delayed another week for delivery from another appliance store. NEVER AGAIN, Best Buy, NEVER AGAIN. Your store should be called WORST BUY!!!”
“Only wish we could give Best Buy "0" stars. We ordered a dvd set of a TV show we enjoy. However, everything we were told at the time of ordering by Best Buy staff was incorrect. We were told we would receive a tracking number and could track the items being sent by Canada Post. This information is totally untrue. Either they didn't know their job or they just lied. When we tried to resolve the issue and phoned customer service things just got much worse. Talked to 3 different staff and some of the things we were told were ridiculous. Found out that the item we ordered can not be tracked by us or Best Buy or Canada Post. The "tracking number" they sent is useless even to Best Buy. Asked to speak with a manager and was kept on hold for over 30 minutes. Even when we did get to speak with the manager she was totally unable to help us with the issue. We will NEVER buy anything from Best Buy again. The worst customer service we have ever received. They could care less if you ever receive what you have paid for.”
“I had never gave an negative reviews to anybody even if me experience was bad, but I cannot stay quiet now. I know people will still go to these stroes and buy stuff from them, but definitely not me anymore. They are so disrespectful and liers they trying to trick they costume with insurance, delivery pricing etc. just reapect yourself. Maybe they will not lost much from loosing me as a costume, but I am sure they are not gonna last forever and more people will start use other companies and stores to buy what they need. I don’t wanna explain what happened just know that they ruined my plans two times and made me loose money and time. And I am not the only one. If you will be really careful with all the policeses they have you will be fine, but at the end it is not even worth to buy from them.”
“We went to purchase wireless headphones. As seniors, our expertise let's say is limited. Lu helped us, explained and answered our questions W/O talking down to us. Wonderful person!”
“I will never use or promote Best Buy for any type of electronics again.
I had a terrible experience with the purchase of a 72 inch Samsung TV and recommended full swing mounting bracket prior to Super Bowl Sunday. It appears there is no testing or research on products that Best Buys sells. I was sold a mounting bracket that (AFTER INSTALLATION) found was not appropriate and dangerous to mount a TV of this size. I removed the entire set up as soon as I completed the installation due to the TV rocking back and forth in an unsafe manner at the slightest touch. I returned to the best buy store where purchased and explained the story and the store manager (Steve) he could not have been less interested, he never even made eye contact with me. Well his resolution was to resell me a bracket at twice the cost of the original one and knock off $50.00. Now, this is a several thousand dollar purchase and I was dealing with a store manager that could care less about my problems. I declined his offer.
I then contacted Best Buy Corporate, specifically, President of Services Trish Walker and company CEO Hubert Joly. An assistant contacted me after several days and his response was not even consistent with my email, no resolution. At this point, I realized I was dealing with a large company that had no intention of resolution or working with me to make things right. I returned all of the equipment purchased, TV, Bracket, Cabling, for a refund, at that point, another manager stepped in and tried to salvage the deal by offering me a free installation...I explained my prior treatment by Best Buy and returned the equipment.
I was happily sold the same TV for $200 less at P.C. Richard with a delivery the day before the Super Bowl, I can't speak highly enough of P.C. Richard and would happily recommend them to anyone looking to make a substantial electronics purchase.
In addition, I hired a home theatre company (Premier Home Theatre and Security in Middlesex county NJ) to provide a full motion mounting bracket and install the whole set up, (I did not want to do a second installation myself). They were fantastic and the mounting bracket could support 2 people hanging from it firmly without rocking.
Subsequently, after the original TV was returned to Best Buy and replacement purchased at P.C. Richard, weeks later, I received another email from Best Buy from another corporate assistant offering me a hundred dollars or so to resolve, obviously, unaware the product was returned already.
My recommendation to anyone purchasing high end electronics is to stay far away from BEST BUY, give P.C. Richard a shot, you'll be happy, they aim to please or try any other local electronics store for better treatment.
If I was able to give Best But a NO STAR Rating, I would but that option is not available.”
“I bought a 60” LG television in-store at Best Buy and decided to make use of their free delivery service because it would have been difficult fitting it in my car. I chose the 12pm-4pm delivery window on a Saturday and signed up for text alerts, and the salesman took my address and advised me to make sure someone was home to receive it through the duration of that window.
Turns out I had to work Saturday morning, no biggy, my partner stayed at the apartment to receive it. I have very poor cellular service in my work building, this will become relevant as I attempt to track down my television.
Come 4pm, my TV hasn’t arrived, and I haven’t received any updates view text. I call the store, and they refer me to the geek squad support line. At this point I just want to know if it’s still on the way, or if the delivery will be rescheduled. No one could tell me ANYTHING about its status and advised me that it may still be out for delivery. When I called the store location again, they told me that geek squad should be able to contact the delivery truck and find out why my TV never showed up, so I’m transferred again back to the people that have zero knowledge of anything. At this point I have called at least half a dozen times, and I finally gave up at 8pm, trying to salvage what little was left of my Saturday.
Later that night I called the support line again and they hung up on me after saying they couldn’t help. I called again, and again, until I found a supervisor who finally told me that I was called at 11:45am (while still at work with no service) and they didn’t deliver my TV because I didn’t pick up. To highlight how useless text-alerts were, I received a text at 1:53pm that my TV was out for delivery, AFTER it had been cancelled on their end.
I was never once told I would need to receive a phone call for my television to be delivered when I made the purchase. The supervisor told me to call back at 8am the next morning. When I did exactly that, they told me nothing could be done, and that I should contact the store location when they open at 11am.
I assumed a physical presence would help my cause and went to the store when they opened. There, I was completely stone-walled with icy courtesy, and the employee had frustratingly little incentive to help me, even after asking to see a manager. He told me the same thing I already knew, that I had missed a phone call and that was reason enough for them to mess up my weekend. He insisted there was no way my TV could be delivered that day, and since I work weekdays, it would be another week until I could receive my TV. Not once did he try to help me, instead insisting that salesmen normally tell you that you’ll receive a phone call prior to delivery, as if that was helpful. It was at this point that I requested a refund, and he was all too happy to give it to me.
This was the single worst shopping experience I have ever had. Incompetence was compounded with a useless support line, lazy delivery practices, and an icy indifference in-store. I can tell you definitively that I will never shop at Best Buy again.”
“Delivery service became a joke. Pay $2,000 for product to be delivered in two days. Best Buy cancels delivery, says will call with new date. Does not call. Displays new delivery date to me online. Best Buy says there is no new delivery date scheduled. Canceled delivery order.”
“i had a dishwasher scheduled for install and they Canceled twice , called the wrong number several time it was finally installed two weeks later in all a very frustrating experience. No apology was offered and very difficult to speak with management.”
“I brought a SamsungGalaxy Note9 128GB(unlocked) for 1055.99 including tax from greenfield store, Later i saw a deal in Amazon.com for same phone ( blue color) for 824.97. I called Best-buy customer support and they said they cannot match the price as the seller is third party selling through amazon.com, and also they were saying its limited stock.
Later I went to same store and got the same answer. I asked them then why its showing under amazon.com for which they don't have an answer. Very bad and horrible experience and don't want to go the storage again.
So now i understood all the advertisement what best buy showing about price match guarantee is fake and price match guarantee is all nonsense and fake and never trust them.
I would suggest all to do the online research before going best-buy , so at-least you can save restocking fee while returning your purchase.”
“I found Best Buy agents doing unethical behavior and rude customer service. I bought an expensive speaker from the store in Fairlakes, VA, which I was told by the sales agent that I will be able to return after 15 days with a restocking fee. Guess what? When I went after 20 days, the customer service rep refused to even entertain the idea. When I said that your own agent said so, he said "I will talk to her but I cannot take back the product". So basically, the agent told one thing, the customer service said another, and there is no accountability as long as they can hide behind their policy. Even the store General Manager, Mr. Eufemio Guzman refused to come in person and talk to me. If he is not working to resolve customer issues, what else is he doing?
Never again am I doing business at any Best Buy!! You lost me to Amazon. I will wait for you to go out of business at this rate.”
“Absolute disgrace!!! I am beyond sad how we as consumers are stuck with this company and there is nowhere else to go for our electronics shopping expect online. They bought out Future Shop which in my opinion was 10 times better in regards to prices and customer experiences. I have noticed a negative trend for about 2 years now and every-time i stepped on their property my experience, their prices and services are keep getting worst and worst. I went in today, which is my last time to look at the Canon DSLR 80D camera. on January 2nd, the price for camera was $1,299.00 on sale and $1,399 regular. On January 2nd, I couldn't afford the products at the time. Today with $1,399 in my pocket i went to make my purchase only to find out the same camera is now $1,499+tax. to me this looks as price inflation. Neither the two managers nor the employee i spoke with there could have explain this phenomena. Nor did they care about explaining anything or making my experience a bit better. They just rolled their eyes as if I am asking them to solve a financial formula. Very upsad. I do hope they will go out of business soon and new competitor with better clients experience and prices will emerge. I will spread the word to everyone surrounding me. What a Shame that we have to deal with this in Canada.”
“Love the prices at Best Buy, especially with the financing option on the store card. If I had one criticism, I wish they would not make the purchase of their dryer cord and hose kit mandatory for new dryer installation as the prices are at least double what you can get them for on other sites.”
“Hello,
I frequent your stores in Clovis and Fresno and thought it VERY important I let you know of the treatment I received today from Palmer at your 7550 N. Blackstone, Fresno store. I am COMPLETELY offended and plan to let EVERYONE know of his wrong doing!
As I waited for my husband to return from the restroom, I was browsing radio alarm clocks. I picked up the first box that was left open and saw it was too big for my liking so picked up the clock sitting next to it and proceeded to read the features of the clock on the box. It seemed to fit our needs and decided to take a quick look at the top of the clock (to check the size). Just as I began to lift the lid, Palmer hollered across the way "what are you doing?" I was taken aback, as he seemed quite angry, as a few employees had already walked by me and didn't hassle me. I told him, "I am just seeing how small the actual top surface of the clock is" when he interrupted me and spoke at the top of his lungs "put it down and never open a box". Meanwhile my husband came from the restroom and heard the commotion and asked if I was ok. As soon as Palmer saw him, he scooted down another aisle and acted as nothing had occurred. I repeated the events to my husband and we decided to find a manager once I got Palmer's name. Unfortunately, were unable to locate a manager, we were told "maybe they are on break".
I am completely mortified at Palmer's actions and will not return to this location again! Earlier in the day, we made a sizable purchase at your Clovis location and had a wonderful experience with a very knowledgable employee Victor, he was super and I plan to let someone know about him and his kindness.”
“I am a first-time homebuyer, having just moved into a newly built home in Austin, Texas. My boyfriend and I decided to purchase our washer, dryer, and fridge from Best Buy, expecting a smooth and positive transition into our new home. However, this entire experience has been nothing short of exhausting, time consuming, stressful, and absolutely awful. I am completely appalled and disappointed by the lack of organization, the nonexistent communication, the absence of empathy, and the inability of your team to resolve basic customer services issues. I have now devoted 3 weeks to over 30 calls with Best Buy and have had over 9 hours of conversations with no ultimate resolution. Furthermore, I have spoken to over 10 different case managers at this point with, again, no ability to help or compensate for the many issues we have faced.
On Friday, January 4, our first night in the brand new home, we took the day off work for the arrival of our appliances. The installation technician arrived late to install our new washer, dryer, and fridge. He did not apologize for being late and rushed through the installation. We signed off thinking everything was fine, and we left for dinner. We returned roughly 2 hours later to find that our first floor bathroom was completely drenched in water just pouring down through the ceiling fan. We ran upstairs to find that the hose attached to the back of the washer was improperly installed (not tightened firmly enough), and the water was seeping through the 2nd floor utility room down into the bathroom. Luckily, my boyfriend was able to tighten the hose and shut off the water, but it was too late, as it had been leaking through for over 2 hours. We called Best Buy, and we were informed that no one could come with a new washer until Monday. Furthermore, we were never provided any information addressing the property damage. As such, we took Monday off work to be there for the replacement washer installation. No one showed up. I, again, called Best Buy and was directed to speak with someone else (this was now the 4th person I had connected with). They informed us that we were scheduled for Wednesday, January 9 for the installation. No one had mentioned this before, nor had anyone reached out to us to let us know this was the date for installation. So, again, we took another day off work. Furthermore, we started noticing that all the food we had purchased (over $250 worth) had frozen in our fridge.
On Wednesday, January 9, we received a call that they were running late to arrive. They ended up arriving over 2 hours late, and they didn't even have a new washer with them. They confirmed that the washer was not defective and that it was clearly an installation issue, but that it does warrant getting a new once since it had now been sitting in water for over 5 days. I, again, called Best Buy to explain the confusion with the delivery schedule, the delay, the fact that we still didn't have a functioning washer, and to mention the fridge freezing our food. I ended up having to connect with 3 different people that day, and I was told that no one could come install the new washer until Saturday and that they would get back to me about the repair for the fridge. I emphasized that I wanted the specific team that had arrived on Wednesday to be the ones installing my washer on Saturday.
On Saturday, January 12, the installation technician arrived to install our new washer and remove the old one. Despite my request, and my previous experience, they sent the SAME installation technician who messed up the first time. In addition, when we explained the situation to him, he didn't apologize or take any responsibility, but instead said "Yeah, Friday was a long day. It must have been defective." It was an awful experience and again, I called Best Buy, speaking to yet another case manager. After another 45 minutes of explaining myself, I was told that we would receive 3 phone calls the following week, as well as an email regarding the property damage claim, since nothing had been received yet.
1) A call on Monday in regards to the fridge repair as well as next steps for the food spoilage issue.
2) A call on Wednesday from the original case manager from the incident on January 4 (Gloria, was her name) to discuss Best Buy's compensation for all we had dealt with
3) A follow up call on Friday from the case manager I was currently speaking with to follow up on everything.
I did not receive a phone call from ANYONE at Best Buy. On Tuesday, January 15, we received a text message that someone was coming to repair the fridge, so again, we took another day off work. He arrived late that evening and told us that the fridge was defective, which is why it was freezing everything. He said we should just get a new fridge since it arrived defective. So, we went to Best Buy again that night to purchase a new fridge. We were told that we should receive the fridge by Monday, January 21. We still did not receive a call regarding the food spoilage, or the compensation.
On Friday, January 18, I called Best Buy again and was on the phone for another hour. I was told that I should hear from the original case manager soon and that I should be receiving an email regarding the food spoilage as well. I have yet to receive either. Furthermore, the only compensation we were granted for all of this was a $150 gift card... absolutely degrading for the amount of time, investment, stress, and anxiety this situation has caused.
On Saturday, January 19... today, we received a call from Best Buy saying that the fridge delivery is delayed and would not arrive until Thursday, January 24. I am at a loss of words. We have lived in a brand new home with no functioning fridge for over two weeks, and now you want us to wait another week. I called Best Buy again to reach some supervisor of some sort, but again was directed to another case manager, to whom I had to repeat and review all my grievances with no resolution. I decided to cancel my new fridge order, since it's obvious that nothing goes as planned with Best Buy; however I confirmed that I would still like the defective fridge removed. I had a scheduled window for removal of the fridge for 3:30 PM - 5:30 PM Central, so again I left work early. It is now 6:00 PM, and no one has called me or arrived to remove this defective fridge. After 5 phone calls to Best Buy, being hung up on once, and being on hold numerous times, I was informed that the team scheduled to remove the fridge was running 2 hours late. I was never called, nor was I notified about this.
At this point, I am scarred by how awful this experience has been. It has ruined all the joys that should come with being a new homeowner. It is clear to me that customer service is not at all a key investment for your company. There is a clear lack of empathy and competency that far exceeds anything I have ever experienced. Apparently, I still have two open and unfulfilled claims. One claim is for property / water damage: Claim# 30191702263-0001, where the XPO case manager has been unresponsive (rosie.camacho@xpo.com), and the damage is already looking to be well over thousands of dollars… I have already paid over $400 for the initial inspection of damage and mold. The other open claim is for the spoiled food, which I am still waiting to hear back from the reimbursements team. I don't have a functioning fridge. I can't get back all the time and energy I had to put into this ridiculous situation. And I am exhausted.
I am sending this final note in hopes that there is an ounce of humanity that exists within your corporation to compensate us and resolve the laundry list of grievances listed above.”
“15 day return policy for the junk they sell,bought a TiVo unit went out of town for holidays,came back TiVo doesn’t work,no return,will shop with amazon prime from here on out,hope Best Buy goes bye bye,if your reading this don’t waste your gas”
