“In March I was supposed to receive a 50 inch. HDTV from Best Buy through Elite Biz Rewards. Through my purchase from Art Van, I received a voucher code: 64HE5730667. This code was sent from Elite Rewards and they told me that I would receive an email from Best Buy when the T.V. would be shipped. However, I NEVER received that email and the T.V. was never shipped.
I am livid by the customer service of Best Buy as no customer associate was able to help me on the help line and I was redirected to different departments FOR OVER TWO HOURS.
I have been a loyal Best Buy customer, and even purchased three phones from you, but if this is how you treat your customers, then I will be sure to give my business elsewhere. I will be leaving negative reviews on multiple forums until someone can give me answers and provide proper customer support.”
“I spent over $800 on a tv and accessories to be installed by the Geek Squad today between 12:00 noon and 8:00pm. At 8:35, they have been a no show. I received a confirmation phone call last night of the appointment. Tomorrow I return to Best Buy for a final time to get my money back!”
“Geek squad told me to buy MSFT software I did not need and then when I tried to call and return it - twice I waited for well over an hour and then they dropped the call on me both times. I think they should think less about their stock price and bottom line profits and hire more people for customer service and improve their own systems!!!!!!!!!”
“Really deserve no stars but not an option! Purchased a freezer, picked it up Friday, set it up and plugged in Saturday and it never worked. My husband spent almost 2 hours on the phone Sunday morning. First told by one associate they did not have one to exchange, but then by another they had a larger more expensive model, and then by a third they had no freezers at all. Tried get someone from the Geek Squad out to service it,but were told that they do not service our area; we are literally 2 miles from the Best Buy in Greenfield! Told to call corporate to have it picked up and after waiting an additional hour and a half, were told that we had to return it to the store. They would only pick up for a $70 charge! What an absolute joke! Should have listened to all the bad reviews; never again Best Buy”
“Purchased a mini fridge with free delivery. Arrived damaged due to poor manufactures packing. Tried for 1.5 hours to contact someone, the best I got was a recording stating I would have to bring to the store. Poor customer service keeps you on hold, transfers you and hold again.”
“My family and I were shopping for a new 80” TV, soundbar, and woofer combo. We were willing to spend a substantial amount of money. We did not receive the customer care that we expected because Leon at the front of the store didn’t seem to care that we were customers. We were very disappointed by the customer service skills of the employees at the store, they were very nasty and unprofessional! May have to go spend money elsewhere, perhaps Walmart.”
“After spending more than $6,000+ this month for a major appliance, an expensive 55" TV, and many related products, including Geek Squad, extended warranties, etc, I would sum up the Best Buy experience as continuous hassles, glitches, screw ups, and a bureaucratic set of rules that matches your state DMV.
NOTHING went right and management was unable to solve a single issue. They just apologize politely but can's solve the problem.”
“Purchased a GE Dishwasher online and installation date was set for June 18, 2020 (Carlsbad, CA). The subcontractor installer (Excellence Install, 619-816-4923) took away my working dishwasher and installed a supposedly new one. After one hour struggle, they told me that the new dishwasher is leaking and giving error message.
I was told someone from Best Buy will call the same day to schedule a replacement.
Today is June 22 and after 5 days no one from Best Buy has called. Washing the dishes by hand and as usual a clumsy 73 year old man cut his hand while washing a drinking glass that broke.
Don't trust these suckers, so called Geek Squad for installing anything in your home. They are inexperienced/cheap subcontractors.”
“Just giving out some personal experience.
Don't pre-order deilvery from Best Buy because the day of release you will not get product on day it release, plus you have to wait one hour on hold while waiting to speak to customer service on the phone.”
“I bought a pricy laptop which has 16 MB RAM at Best Buy Clearwater. The sales person recommended that I purchase 2 additional 16 MB RAM to upgrade the laptop to 32 MB RAM. I ordered the RAM and was told to purchase Geek Squad service to install it. After two weeks I received my order, which was not the RAM but two car starter cables (?!). I went back to Bestbuy to return the starter cables and had to reorder the RAM. I lost my purchased slot at Geek Squad and when I asked them to just help me put the RAM in (which would take them 15 minutes) I was told there was a 2 week wait before I even could make an appointment. The guy there was rude and wouldn't even consider helping, so I asked for a refund on the Geek Squad service. I went to Staples instead, where they found out that this laptop doesn't even have 2 slots for RAM, just one. They put the one RAM slot into the computer rapidly and professionally, and for less than Geek Squad. So now I have to bring the unnecessary RAM back again. Lousy service, wrong products, NO help whatsoever - no wonder Best Buy is going broke!”
“They are thief they not refund my money they are very bad company the worst one I tried to call 100 times they let me wait hours and hours without any results they close the phone several times in my face”
“Beware of scam and fraud from bestbuy online order!
I got scammed from Bestbuy online order. Bose soundbar 700 ordered bestbuy online, delivered empty box, soundbar was replaced and swapped with some sort of vinyl tiles inside to trick and cheat the weight of product!
Called and claimed bestbuy, and 3 weeks past, still not solving the issue, no email reply, no call back whatsoever!
I even went store to talk about it, they just told me to wait.
So disgusting how bestbuy handle this problem.
Hope Bestbuy check this, resolve this fraud.”

“The most rude staff I have even had to deal with in a retail store. The website should also state when mailing purchase with a install that the install is backed up from March! Also I received the email saying my stereo is there and ready to make a install appointment. Then I call and they say not taking appointments till all others are caught up. Rudely to I may add(Maplewood , MN location)Then I would have waited to make this purchase. Now I have to search for a install!! Thanks not so good buy! From a former loyal customer!”
“Best Buy is awful on updates as well as telling the truth. I order a Samsung TV and given a delivery date,which was delayed by a day and only to be lost in transit. I was told a reship for a date and that was also delayed. Ont he new delivery date, I received a text it was pushed out 2 more days. So I called to inquire why, then was put back into a portal and received a text that delivery date was the same day. I called again to make sure only to be lied that the delivery date pushed by both a rep and the supervisor. I called back to report both reps for lying because I would have had product on a porch left for almost 24hrs. I will not trust Best Buy to handle any deliveries and their reps the lie.”
“After rescheduling my delivery appointment, 9 minutes into my scheduled 12 to 6 delivery window, someone called to say that they were too busy to deliver my appliances. This is absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable. We're currently on hold to speak to a customer service representative on two phones. One to discuss this and one to cancel our month old order.”
“BB has the worst customer service. I wish I had done some research and had read reviews before my purchase. I bought a chest freezer. When I took it out of the box I found it had a big bump in a corner. Possibly during shipping. Getting in touch with customer service is a nightmare. Every time you call the waiting times are over one and a half hours. If you try to chat online, it kicks you out because the systems are busy. They have no customer service email. When I finally made contact, they wanted me to take the freezer to the distribution center, over one hour away. They would not send a delivery truck to pick it up and send a replacement. Feeling so desperate and helpless, I sent an email to the CEO, VP of Operations and VP of Customer Experience. None of them ever responded and nobody contacted. Now I have to get a truck and drive over an hour each way to the distribution center to return the damaged freezer. Never thought anything like this would happen to me. You could be next, I'm warning you.”
“Worst customer service I have ever received. I feel like I was ripped off and have received no answers. Spent 2 hours and 33 minutes on their customer service line. Do not expect to get help if you run into any problems with your order.”
