“They use post canada for delivery, which is more than useless. At the end, you will have to go collect whatever your bought at the post office, even for a heavy item. So, the delivery is some sort of scam. Better to buy from others who use useful delivery services not post Canada. Amason, homedepot... are all very good for delivery, smoth and easy. They drop the item at the door and no reason to complicate life. I will not buy from bestbuy anymore because of the postcanada.”
“I have been trying to secure a video card nvida rtx 3080 for a few weeks. They are hard to come by. Every time they become available, I put one in my cart and it says they cannot ship to my area and my store location is not available. They refuse to ship to Henderson it for some reason. Then the card sells out in minutes. The. They just say sorry. Best Buy is awful.”
“I called today about an product that was delivered under my mom’s name and our address which she didn’t order. So i called Best Buy to get a help in tracing who ordered it and to know if her credit card was used by someone else. So simple a task!!!! The CSR who answered told me i NEED TO GO TO A STORE TO SORT IT OUT. Whaaaat??? Is he truly trained to do his job answering calls? But my inquiry is so simple, why couldn’t he look it up in the system? He was rude and hang up on me because i was telling him i was trying to call because I couldn’t go to the store. HANG UP ON ME!!!! Unbelievable!!! I had never ever experienced that in my life because i call good companies with great CS!!! What kind of customer service is that? That guy should not even be in the customer service job accepting calls. I swear i will not buy from Best Buy anymore because they don’t deserve a single centavo from me. Period. Plus the fact that it is difficult to contact them by phone. That’s why amazon has better reviews because their customer service reps are truly helpful and polite and courteous.
I request that the recording be listened to so you can coach your CSR. Again, he cannot be in a CSR job coz he has no quality that would even be catering to customers.”
“Got a replacement tv that doesn’t stay on for more than ten minutes before the picture blacks completely out. Got the tv at the end of February and had a month to buy a warranty but two weeks later COVID happened and the entire world shut down. I like most people was out of work for six months and with no income buying a warranty was impossible. Fast forward 7 months later the tv has never worked properly and because a warranty wasn’t purchased right away there are no accommodations so I’m stuck with a tv that goes off every 10 to 15 minutes. It’s unfortunate because I never had any issues with Best Buy before because t I am totally dissatisfied with how this situation is being handled.”
“Absolutely horrible after sales service. I would not buy again at Best Buy no matter the price. The sales associate was great until she took our payment. After that she was MIA. Delivery service and Geek Squad service is deplorable. My husband has been waiting 4 hours on the phone with no response.”
“Horrible experience- bought Apple Watch on Sunday and promised delivery on Tuesday- it’s now Saturday no watch and no one can find it. Was told they would ship
Me another but it would take 3 weeks
Just want my money back so I can get it through amazon and can not get a credit back since they can’t find it.
Customer service is horrible. Can’t can’t a call back. Wish I would of just stuck with amazon”
“Customer service staff at the counter should keep their personal opinions about a customer's purchase to themselves, especially when it is condescending.”
“My recent experience with Bestbuy was the worst Ive ever had with any retailer. On 9/15/20 I purchased an iPhone through a rep over the phone. It was supposed to be in on the 17th. It didn't arrive, my delivery date kept changing, and there was no updates to the tracking details. On the 18th I phoned the shipper, UPS, and was informed that they had not received the product from Bestbuy. I then called Bestbuy. During this conversation I felt like the rep was just trying to get me off the phone. He told me to wait until 22nd, didn't try to look into the phones whereabouts, or reorder the phone ( which was still showing in stock online at that time). I also had to ask him 3 times to verify that Ups did not have the phone, before he would answer the question. The phone of course didn't come in on the 22nd, the shipping details still had not changed, and it was now out of stock online. I called Bestbuy again on the 23rd, preceded to spend over 3 hours on the phone, repeated myself to at least 14 different people, was disconnected numerous times as well as transferred more than once to the wrong department. One rep, Carly finally created a claim for me and made notes on my account. Her manager also offered me a 10% discount on my next purchase (which at that point I didn't think was enough considering all of my trouble). She then transferred me to another department to refund the phone and cancel the billing contract through my carrier. It wasnt the right department however, and I was again transferred between numerous people, one of which told me that I would be contacted within 72hrs about my claim. When the call was again disconnected at around 3 1/2 hour in(I had 5 bars at the time so I think it was on their end), I finally gave up and decided to wait the 72hrs to be contacted in case the phone was found. On the 28th, after not being contacted back for 5 days, I tried calling again but was disconnected after 45 minutes and didn't have time to call again until the next day. On the 29th, I again spent over 3 hours on the phone. I was sent to numerous departments, none of whom could figure out how to refund the phone or cancel my contract. I was even sent to apple care twice, who have nothing to do with missing orders or contract cancellation. They also couldn't transfer me back to Bestbuy, so I had to start over again both times. At one point I spoke with a rep I could barely understand, who couldn't find my order # that 6 previous employees had been able to pull up, locate the notes on the account, and refused to look up the claim #. She finally found my tracking details and started to argue with me about needing to wait for the shipment to be delivered, at which point I asked her if she'd understood me when I had told her that Ups didn't have the order and there hadn't been any progress since the 16th. She then put me on hold with no warning and never picked back up. I hung up after 7 minutes and called back. Eventually I spoke with an employee who said that the claim was sent to the wrong department originally and he had to create a new one. Half way through our conversation, before he had a chance to transfer me for the refund, his headset went to static, I waited 8 minutes until the went dead. It had again been nearly 3 1/2 hour again, and I couldn't spend any more time on the phone that day. I was trying to deal with all of this while moving and also caring for my severely autistic son. He gets agitated when I'm on the phone, and had a meltdown both days. At that point I was worried about even getting a refund, let alone any kind of future discount. I thought I would have to go through my bank for a charge back. I emailed customer service, posted to their blog and finally escalated the issue to the BBB. It took several more days to hear anything back, at which point I received an email from them that stated someone would contact me soon. I got a call on the 7th, the rep said he'd called several times to get a hold of me. I literally had 4 calls from him within a ten minute period, and no messages, so it wasn't as if he'd tried to reach me for days, just minutes. I hadn't answered initially because I was busy with my son. I had to stop what we were doing to answer since I kept getting calls. He took information from me and said he'd call the next day. I didn't get a call until the 9th, though there had been an email on the 8th indicating my refund had been processed. They said they'd contacted my carrier about the contract as well, but that was either a lie or they didn't explain the situation properly. I had to contact my phone carrier to make a claim with them, as they had no notes from Bestbuy. After all of that, all I was offered was a free phone case with my next phone purchase, which is a complete joke. Especially since I'll never purchase from Bestbuy again. I certainly wouldn't recommend them to anyone. This has been a nightmare.”
“DRYER DOESN'T MATCH THE WASHER!!....AND I TELL THEM...THEY BRING THE SAME WASHER OUT TWICE THEN TELL ME THATS THE OBLY COLOR BESIDES WHITE....BAD BUSINESS...”
“Ordered Xbox one controller in store on 9/25/2020 dude said it should be sent within a few days and still haven't gotten anything delivered, also bought a headset I need to return but they never emailed me a receipt which they said they would so I'm out over $100 in total because of this, I already ordered another controller from Amazon since then and am already using it now, and I really don't believe the item i ordered will ever come.”
“Ordered a dishwasher from these clowns…
Ordered a dishwasher from these clowns in August. Took two months to get here. Took off work for the day of delivery but never received a confirmation phone call, only one email. Waited for the EIGHT HOUR window and... no dishwasher. We couldn’t contact anyone in person for about a half hour. Finally my husband got someone in person and they fed us some lie about how they couldn’t cancel the transaction tonight and it had been routed for delivery, but the delivery guys didn’t know about it??? Finally got a manager on the phone and he told us the same. Just called our credit card company and we are disputing this transaction ($1300), which they already charged us, and which unfortunately we have already paid. I’m done with Best Buy.”

“I ordered an expensive appliance on May 31, 2020. It has never been delivered. We continue to call, and now are informed that it might be delivered November 6. Very discouraged and disappointed.”
“I ordered an appliance on May 31, 2020. Delivery was scheduled for August. No one appeared. We continued to call, and now delivery is scheduled for Nov. 6, over 5 months later. Very frustrating.”
“I wish I read the reviews first! I was recommended to use them. They sent a message and I had spoke to someone and have the whole email when I ordered that I had to have my things delivered Saturday! They called Saturday to reschedule for the 11th and I have to have my house go on the market the week of the 5th. They said they would call in a half hour since I told them I can’t take off work and they never did. Had I just gone with Home Depot I would have got it!!! Do not pay for delivery they will just pretend like they will help. They won’t. They won’t keep to their promises and they won’t offer you any alternatives or refunds toward the loss of time. I am still waiting on a call and waiting on a delivery date that they could not tell me. And could not give me a time frame reasonable for my work either.”
“I went to Best buy yesterday
I asked if they have CDs he said no we don't sell CDs anymore, we sell vynl records, I asked about family Guy, season 9 Mike & Molly season 4, & liar liar with Jim Carrey, said no to everything
I asked about. They said we don't have em in stock & don't know when we will.
The guy told me to go to
The exchange store on youngstown Rd in Niles next
to Marc's super market & the
old fairhaven industries service & support administrators building.
They need to add more of a
better selection of new up to date tv shows, movies & go back to CDs.
One day I was in there & purchased a $50 gift card to
Order some DVDs he said no
we can't order them for you in store, you havta go on app to order them, I said forget it
just give me back my $50 bucks... Once I bought the card I was gonna use it to order some DVDs the manager & Mike the clerk said no.
I was not happy.
Take my best advice best staff to allow to order in store with the gift card you bought from your store & better selection of newer TV shows, like last man standing
Bob hearts abishola, man with a plan, up to date tv shows some older tv shows & new or old movies that are hard to find.”
“Bought a defective product from Best Buy in Rockwall tx. Tried to return it within 24 hours with receipt. Refused to refund or exchange it. Said that I was stuck with the defective product. The associate Steve lacked any customer service skills.”
“This purchase started in July of 2020 and it would take too long to write out all of the details in the review. Best Buy has the worst customer service in the world. The "professional" installers rating on a scale from 1-10 is a negative zero. The integrity of the managers negative zero. They tell you that they will call you back and they don't call you back. If you contact the customer service for help a double negative. In some cases, I held on for hours. In other cases after they transfer you at least five times on a call you have to tell what happened over and over again only to hear, after spending three hours on the phone, only to hear I'm so sorry, but I can't help you. You have to work with the store staff directly. The in-store managers are worse. This was one of the most horrific experiences and I will never shop at Best Buy again. I'm supposed to be an "Elite" customer. The I had a back-up camera installed first they installed the camera backwards. Then they installed the camera on my tag and covered up the state and the month and year tags. Then they had the nerve to tell me I had to pay for a new camera and the installation, or they can remove the camera and I can be on my way. My new appointment is in November. This is ludicrous and I'm supposed to be an "Elite" customer. Looking at all of the reviews, it looks like this is a place to talk about the problem. I don't see any resolutions. I look forward to hearing from you regarding my concern.”
“Purchased a refrigerator and protection plan from Best Buy, long story short my refrigerator went out so I called customer service and scheduled an appointment which they soonest possible date was 9 days out. Which in itself is a long time to go with out a refrigerator. Then the day of the appointment comes and after multiple conformation emails prior to said date they called canceled the appointment During the window they were supposed to be there and said sorry can’t make it but we can reschedule it for two weeks from now. Now I have no fridge, missed day of work and pay and no guarantee they will show up next time. Calling customer service is no help. Best Buy lost a long time customer over this. A&e was the repair contractor that canceled the day of. Absolutely no customer service anymore.sure glade I bought the extended warranty for piece of mind. Bravo Best Buy.”
