Bought a Samsung Range Slideout (Model #NE58F9500SS) and windster range hood with installation. New tile floor had just been installed. When we pulled the stove out there were no leg leveling devices for the front side of the stove. Once we noticed that we started inspecting more closely and found they did not install the child anti tip control. The installers did not discuss altering the installation nor taking the leg levelling devices so the stove could be leveled. I am unsure about liability if a child happens to grab and pull. If I was able and younger we could have checked and known the leg levelling parts were missing.

Now I have called with no response multiple times with no return. Called corporate and corporate called the store manager that promised faithfully she would return my call. Still NOTHING About at wits end

I've shopped and purchased on the website several times and had stuff forwarded to the store so I could pick it up quicker. Only drawback is sometimes hard to find things! :(

My favorite thing about Best Buy is comparing several slightly different versions of the exact same device. It really gets my heart racing trying to make sure I get the best deal.

Variable quality.

Depending on which store, which country and which sales associate you shop with, the experience ranges from pretty good to bloody awful. Best showroom, buy elsewhere!

We have had the Geek Squad service for a few years, and been very happy when we used them at the Anderson SC store. Today my wife contacted the Geek Squad to help with her computer which is one of the three covered in our contract. Nope, no account for us, so the wife paid $200 for the service. When I got home and found out, I called the Anderson SC store. Sure enough, we have an account until Oct 2019. It is currently Nov 2018.So, to get a refund, I have to call an 800 number. When I finally get thru the layered recorded menus, I get a person that I can't understand. I tried for 10 minutes or so. I have no clue what the person's first language was, so I hung up and called in again. Finally get thru the menus, and again, some guy that I can't even understand his "hello" or whatever he said. I guess we are out the $200, plus the second plan. All I can do now, is find a new service, and not to back to Best Buy again. I spent 30 minutes this evening trying to get thru to someone who spoke English at Best Buy. Nope, you can't get there from here!

One big problem
October 19, 2015

Happened a couple months ago but buyer beware! Needed a new laptop so I went to their store and purchased one. I also decided to throw in a chill pad for it since the last laptop overheated a few times. I paid and while the associate was bagging up my order I decided to go look at phone cases. I went to pick up my shopping bag and left. I didn't look inside, that was my fault but when I got home I realized chill pad was not in the bag! I called their customer service right away since the store had already closed and the guy sounded a little skeptical, I get it but said they would review their cameras and get back to me. I'm thinking awesome, as soon as they realize their mistake I can get said chill pad. I called them back the next day and had to explain all over again. I was on hold for 45 minutes before I gave up. I called the store directly, same run around. They said they would do inventory and if they found an extra one they would contact me. I stopped holding my breath a while back. That's $50 I consider stolen from me by Best Buy. What really gets me is that the bill with everything was over $1050. Why would I make it up just to get an extra chill pad? What possible reason would I have to scam them over $50 after I just spent $1000? Oh well, they lost me as a customer because it's not right. Many places sell electronics. Sorry it's long but this is therapeutic for me. Hope you have a better experience. Check your bags please!

I bought an $800 TV online on 11/29@ 1:00 p.m. with same day/1 hr pick up since in store p/u not an available option. Waited until 7:00, drove 45 mins to store and waited until 8:55(Curb side pick up closing at 9) and pulled up to store front. A nice employee came out, looked up my order then said, it has not been picked due to holidays, Black Friday, Cyber Monday... that it would be ready next day. Within 5 mins of leaving the store, I receive email that order is ready for pick up. By then, store was closed. Picked up TV next day.

On 12/5@ 11:00 a.m. I decide to give them another go, buy 2 TVs for $460 online with same day/1 hr pick up, since in store was not an available option, ran other errands picking up items I had ordered from other stores, while in the area I stop by around 7:00 and inquire about items. Got same line about holidays, Black Friday, Cyber Monday... Blah, Blah, Blah, and that order had not even been scheduled to be picked yet, to check back on Sunday. As of 12:00 p.m. on Sunday, order is still showing in process.
After this purchase, I will DEFINITELY NOT do any online, possible even NO business at all with Best Buy in the future. I fully understand retail during the holidays, but DO NOT POST promises you cannot stand by or like the first event, have it ready for pick up minutes after customer leaves and have store closed where they cannot return to pick up.

Best Buy STOLE & LIED to us $200! Do NOT order from this HORRIBLE COMPANY!
We never received the package. FedEx shows a photo of a house that isn't even OURS. We do not even live in a house! We called, explained the home in the photo is not ours, a quick google search can prove this. They stated after being on hold many times, and an hour later a refund would be made and a confirmation email would be sent within 24hrs. After 3 days and no email, we chatted to see an update to be immediately told no case was ever documented of our call. We were more less called liars by the chat rep, and told to file a police report?! Are you kidding me? So your motto is to lie to your customers saying you're refunding them to get them to go away and hope they never notice? I'm sorry but that's sickening. You stole from your customers, you lied to your customers, your chat rep was a rude, horrendous to us claiming no record, no note, nothing of our call was made. That's beyond messed up business. You've wasted our time, our money, and stole from us. We will not be letting this drop and heard everywhere.

NEVER AGAIN
March 7, 2022

WHILE ALL COMPANIES ARE HAVING A HARD TIME, THIS ONE HAS GONE TO HELL. AS A BUSINESS WE BUY TONS OF APPLIANCES. NOW WE CANNOT EVEN GET THEM TO KEEP AN APPOINTMENT, INSTALL CORRECTLY, ANSWER THE PHONE OR KEEP THE PROMISES MADE BY CUSTOMER SERVICE. EVEN THE CHATS ARE BULL. THEY JUST GET ANOTHER PERSON. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM,

Best Buy Rips Off Customers
February 17, 2024

I wish I could give negative stars. I purchased a printer for my business, but when I placed the order, the shipping address did not register and defaulted to my billing address, which is a PO Box. I immediately (less than one minute after placing the order) contacted customer support and told them about the problem. The customer service rep told me he entered the correct address on the order. He lied. I never received the printer, especially since my post office box is 3" x 4", was never notified by the post office where the printer was, so I did not ever receive it or take possession of it (easy to confirm since I never signed for the package, nor was it scanned in as picked up). Best Buy customer service told me that the printer was at the post office and they were requesting a return. They lied again. They are now telling me that I somehow have a Canon printer sitting in my 3" x 4" post office box and I have to pay for it. The told me they "checked" their warehouse and the printer was never returned. They are intending to rip me off for an item I never received, never took possession of, and was, in fact, impossible to be listed as delivered. They are refusing to even request a search for the package by the post office, insisting again, that somehow the printer was stuffed into my post office box and I received it. This has been going on since Christmas They are not worthy of anyone's business.

Staff don't always know what they are doing but you usually can find someone who does eventually.

They have all the accessories I need and I am glad for the selection.

Great deals for sure

I have purchased most of my electronics from here as they have the best protection plan that covers everything. I've dropped enough laptops to not want to deal without that again

Kitchen Appliances
May 23, 2020

I wish i could give negative stars to bestbuy for their entire services. I placed order for kitchen appliances package back in February 2020. I got partial delivery like 2 out of 5 items ordered even after getting confirmation 2 days before delivery. At first, i paid the whole amount at the time purchase and all the items were in bestbuy inventory but after a gap of 2 months between purchase and delivery, i was informed that one of your item is no more available and there is no time frame available for that item. Why did you sell item to somebody when its not available in your inventory and if it was available at the time of purchase, keep it on your inventory as its already sold to somebody. Secondly, when the order delivered there were still 2 items missing which never was told before. On the top of all, i spent 2 days just to get to help through online chat and customer support which is terrible experience oh gosh taking hours of hours waiting time. Once i got someone on the phone i was put on hold for another hour. What a great service bestbuy is offering.

Worst buy
August 7, 2015

I purchased a new PC I had Geek squad load it and they installed an anti-virus software that was a trial run. After the first week my PC would not connect my connection provider came out and tried everything - i called Best Buy somewhere along the purchase process the after support package was not added and their attitude was too bad so sad! I spoke with a manager who told me if he gave me a diagnostics for free he would have to give it to everyone his attitude was disgusting- so was their corporate response who basically sent me a couple of emails saying sorry after I had identified that the problem was the anti-virus software they had loaded on to my computer! I removed it reactivated my usual antivirus software that also found a worm strange as I had hardly been able to connect to the internet at all so had not been able to surf... Hmmm? Interesting - awful people awful store the worst customer service experience ever! All they want is your money then bye bye too bad so sad! Because they think they have the market share... we will see.

Once I bought an HP All-in-one printer from them after three months I went to buy one of the four colors inks used by this type of printer, by coincidence I saw the same guy how sold me the printer, when he starts to look for the ink and when he didn't find it, he just looked at me and told me, why you bought this kind of old printer? I looked at him and I was shocked, I couldn't even reply to him, I just left the place and didn't come back again and try to avoid buying from Best Buy since then. This happened to me three years ago

"Worst and rude customer service, hard to believe"
Order a treadmill with installation service ($1300) online, and my ordeal began.
They will fix the appointment with a window of 12 pm-8 pm and never shows up.
When my wife calls them for the update, their answer was we did not feel like delivering it today. Can you believe that? When my wife says, we wasted a day of work waiting for the day as we need it urgently. The BestBuy customer representative response was. "Why you fix an appointment on your working day/!" Can you believe this? I would accept the statement if they delivered the item. Here I am after more than a month still waiting for the item, and today is the third time they have not shown up; probably they didn't feel like it. The customer representative was rude each time you call them; it takes forever to get the right person. Then the person will promise a lot and deliver nothing. I promise to stay away from this company, and this one is honest promise will never advise my friend to order anything from this company. I suffer from not listening to my friend due to a couple of average experiences in the past. The treadmill installation service available locally for $90; we paid $200 to best buy in the hope of better service and looked at their service.

Local Customer Service
January 25, 2021

For the 2nd time in the past 3 weeks I have attempted to call my local BestBuy store in Clearwater, FL to ask a question. In each instance, I was put on hold for over 25 minutes only to have my call disconnected without ever speaking to anyone.

Overview

The company's reputation is marred by significant customer dissatisfaction, particularly regarding installation services, product returns, and customer support. Many reviews highlight issues with rushed installations and poor communication, leading to repeated service calls. Customers frequently encounter difficulties with returns and refunds, often citing long wait times and inadequate support from customer service representatives. While the company offers a wide selection of products and some positive experiences with online orders, the overarching sentiment suggests a need for substantial improvements in service reliability and customer care to enhance overall customer satisfaction.
