Terrible Custumer service!

Best Buy - Terrible Custumer service! - Image 2

In April, we bought a Pioneer TV that worked fine until I made the switch from AT&T Uverse to Direct TV. When I plugged the Direct TV receiver into the HDMI on the TV, it caused a crack down the side of my screen.

The HDMI was faulty and, in all fairness, should NEVER be on the back of a TV but on the side so you can easily reach them. This TV was not dropped or otherwise damaged by me, but because of a faulty HDMI slot. I am soon to be a senior and am on a fixed income, and it is not fair that I have to own a TV I cannot watch. I was strong-armed into adding a 5-year warranty that is evidently worthless.

I am not being greedy; I just want my set repaired or replaced. Companies used to stand behind their products, but not anymore. Whatever happened to 'the customer is always right'?

This has never happened to us before and we just want to watch our TV. I predict that by 2027, ALL of the Best Buy stores will be permanently closed.

Cowards report posts george. You have nothing because you physically damaged the tv.

It literally worked before you touched it.

Warranty doesn't cover physical damage so keep crying about how you're gay and the system is against you but we know you were just some moron that can't even plug in an hdmi cable correctly. Keep coping

George S. Ellington

I was told I was buy a unlimited warrenty which turned out to be worthless! They promised to refund the money we spent on the usless warrenty plus $50.00 for the sales girl refering to my partner and I as an Old fag couple!

We have been married longer than she has been alive! She was like 18 annd we will soon celebrate 20 years!

George S. Ellington

Plus I said no to a 5 year warrenty 3 times and it was added anyway! this is fraud!

All my fat finger did was put an HDMI cable into and HDMI slot and not I did not press too hard!

VERY poor customer service!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Purchased a refrigerator from Best Buy online first week in November. Delivery on Nov 14th.

Ice maker installation done by non-English speaking delivery people. Ice maker doesn't work. Called best Buy customer service, asked for English-speaking Best Buy employees. One week later, two non-English speakers show up (not Best Buy employees but same delivery company), look at ice maker - no clue what to do.

Leave without touching ice maker. Now ice maker falls out when bottom freezer door closes, I removed ice tray and temporarily hang ice maker (still not working), called Best Buy customer service again. I was assured that on December 3rd a BEST BUY Tech would come and repair or replace the ice maker. But instead two more non-English speaking personnel appear from another delivery company.

Although this time he used his phone to translate and did manage to install the ice maker so that it made ice and stayed in place in the freezer compartment. After the second failed service call I went to the closest best buy to inquire if they could help me.

I was told that because I had purchased online they could do nothing, but that i could pay a service call and have a Best Buy tech come to look at it. I refuse in the future to even drive by a Best Buy store let alone buy anything from them.

Horrible Customer Service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I strategically purchased a TV on Cyber Monday and chose the option for same-day pickup because I needed it ASAP. I started heading to pick up my TV and saw that it wouldn't be available in the store until December 11th.

I called Best Buy customer service to ask what happened. They said they sold out of the product and no stores in my area have them. I purchased the product, so I don't know how they sold out when the TV should've been held for me. Frustrated at the situation, I asked if they could at least deliver it directly to me because I chose the same-day pickup option since I needed the TV ASAP.

Otherwise, I'd have chosen delivery. They couldn't do that for me. I was then transferred to a very rude and snobbish supervisor, Steven, who claimed he was the highest person I could speak to in Best Buy. (I didn't know the CEO took customer service calls.) In a very condescending and forceful tone, he said I have two options - cancel or wait.

There were no offers for discount or a Best Buy gift card for their mistake, and he hung up on me!

What should have been a fun purchase for my husband's birthday turned into a stressful, regretful, and frustrating situation. I will never shop at Best Buy again and hope they share the same fate as Radio Shack very soon.

Best Buy refuses to refund laptop lost by Federal Express

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I ordered a laptop. FedEx lost the laptop.

I have an email confirmation from FedEx that the package is lost. I have the direct telephone number of the person at FedEx who confirmed the package is lost. Best Buy refuses to issue a refund. For six days straight, they have assured me that the 'backend team' would process the refund by 10 PM.

They have not. I have closed my Best Buy credit card account and initiated a chargeback.

Product Not Delivered, *** Customer Service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

*** NO. *** BEST BUY

Original review Oct 09, 2024
I ordered a product at the Best Buy Store in Canyon Country, California, on 10-7-2024. I was told the product would be delivered by 10-9-2024.

The product was never delivered. I received an update stating, "The driver couldn't find a safe place to leave the package" Delivery attempt failed, no one was at home." Complete B.S. I was home all day!!! No one ever knocked on my front door.

I then contacted OnTrac in an attempt to locate my package. All phone numbers for OnTrac are fake phone numbers as all calls were immediately disconnected. I drove to the Best Buy Canyon Country, California Store and met with "Jessica" ID# 145**** the so-called store manager. She refused to call or attempt to call OnTrac and assist me in locating and obtaining my package which I paid for in CASH.

Jessica said it was not her nor Best Buy's responsibility to contact OnTrac. I showed Jessica my receipt for the purchased item and requested an immediate refund. Jessica denied my refund request stating, "The product has already been shipped". I asked Jessica for the phone number and address to Best Buy's Corporate Office and the phone number Jessica gave me ended up going to a Mid-Eastern Call Center, and the operator at the call center didn't even speak or understand English (Go Figure).

I WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THIS "SHELL FAKE COMPANY" EVER AGAIN. I am in the process of filing a Complaint with the Better Business Bureau, California State Attorney General, and the State of California Consumer Affairs Department, and the California State Business Licensing Department.

As for "Jessica", stand by...I will be posting the entire video with audio of our interaction on the internet (Rumble, YouTube, Facebook, X, Instagram) proving her lack of professionalism and complete disregard for Work Ethics, Moral Values, Compassion In Customer Service. SHE IS A PATHETIC REPRESENTATIVE OF PEOPLE EMPLOYED BY BEST BUY...

Defective computer

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Updated by user Nov 10, 2024

This was a Dell gaming laptop this should work longer than a year never a dell again either its not a cheap laptop should work . On google i found people had same problems with this model overheats. They say it overheats because of fan malfunction or positioning and fries the motherboard

Original review updated Nov 10, 2024

I bought a computer that overheated alot and the motherboard to quit working twice within a year and a half. This computer is definately defective and they should fix it The customer service was poor.

The employees' attitude was, 'Oh well, things just don't last like they used to.' One told me the manager was in a 4-hour meeting, and hung up on me. When I called back, the person said there were no managers. They've lost my, and my family's, business for life. Geek Squad is a joke.

The higher-ups at Geek Squad, like Kathy, play phone tag and never answer their phone. What a scam.

Made installation appointment refused service by installer and manager was of no use

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I made a car dash cam installation appointment at BestBuy in west Palm Beach for 3:30 pm. When I got there, the installation bay was closed, and when they found the installer, he did not want to do the install.

It was too late in the day, and he was busy doing other things. I complained to the manager, Caleb, and he justified the installer's denial. No wonder the store is so empty. I traveled extra far for this location because they had an appointment today.

They asked if I could come back on the weekend.

I'll never be going back to this location. #bestbuysucks #bestbuywestpalmbeach

Repair fail

I purchased my Best Buy total plan and reported that my double oven is not working; it keeps shutting off. They have been out three times to repair it without success.

On the second visit, the oven was not working at all and was showing an error code. During the third visit, the part ordered was not correct and they were unsure about the issue. A technician is scheduled to come out a fourth time, another week later. With the holidays coming, I'm left without an oven.

I spoke with a supervisor and they will not replace it until they come out a fourth time.

There's no help at all to expedite the appointment or replacement. This is very upsetting.

Appointment

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Had an appointment cancelled. Was on hold 40 minutes and told couldnt set appointments and to call next day.

On hold again. Customer service people are so long winded . Takes forever to get anything done with phone bank. All bought a tv this week.

It was cancelled because of back order at factory.

I call Richfield and they have 45 tvs so I just went there . Ridiculous that they cancelled my order and have 45 units 9 miles away.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I purchased an item online and it has had weird issues ever since I purchased it I tried to get online to do a return or an exchange or refund which was the last day, to return it apparently. My mother-in-law passed away and I've been dealing with a stressful situation and funeral and I was not able to get into my account so I had issues trying to get their exchange done.

When I go into my account it does not show my recent purchase in my account at all. I was not able to do the exchange and I have called back multiple times since and not to mention I've purchased the $49 plan membership plan when I purchased some apple airpods late last year, so I,but it's not showing up

1:15 p.m.

One day after I was unsuccessfully trying to do the exchange for a different model it literally stopped working for no reason. I was driving down the road and then it just went black I checked my cigarette lighter plug in and it was not that it was the actual unit that kept cutting out on me and that was the reason I was wanting to exchange in the first place. Is there any way that I can speak to a supervisor or someone who can help me with this because I am stuck with the $300 piece of equipment that does not work.

I got it because I was going to have to go 8 hours to my mother-in-law's funeral and back and I wanted to have some protection from getting a ticket.

However the unit intermittently rebooted turned off turned on Etc. So I was going to exchange it, possibly for a different model because it also did not have all of the features I was looking for. So when the funerals situation died down, I tried to do an exchange but it did not show the item listed on my account at all

I am terminally ill so I have a hard enough time with everything. But just dealt with a funeral & and I'm so overwhelmed but have called at least once every day or tried to access it online

Not work and it's not my fault that there are glitches and my products that I purchased are not showing up in my account.

I am an hour and a half from the nearest Best Buy otherwise I would have already been up there to talk to someone and I've called day after day and as the days go by I'm getting farther and farther away from the date that I was supposedly able to return it. But I'm telling you I bought the $49 membership and so I should have no problems returning it or exchanging it

I have just cut and pasted the details from the chat because to go through all of that again is too much. I have end stage liver disease & and it's hard enough without bs like bestbuy! I I did purchase the $49 membership and still got denied.

I'm done with them!

It's like they have outsourced all customer service to foriegners & and you can't even reach a local branch directly! It gets sent to main number

How much are you going to deflect the fact you're out of policy? Everyone has problems mental and physical. You sound like an entitled baby and I feel sorry for anyone that has to deal with you.
