Best Buy Reviews Summary

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.

On November 27,2015 a great printer for a great price was ordered. Only a few left. Decided too good a deal, ordered 2 more for my daughters. Within an hour, one was cancelled--none in stock. Three (3) days later, second one was cancelled--none in stock. Today, December 10,2015, 13 days later the last one was cancelled; the reason--processing error. I called the store the same day I originally ordered the printers and the store customer service person said the items offered were not available in the local stores and had not been for a while--they (Best Buy) were having difficulty with the online sales because of heavy volume. You would have thought they would have been prepared for the one thing that was exactly what they wanted--HIGH VOLUME!

I tend to go to Best Buy when I need something quickly. It is helpful to be able to go online and then pick up the item I want in store. So while I may not like their prices or their staff at least when I need something quickly I am able to get it. If they could improve the politeness of their staff and make them feel less confrontational that would be great.

For twenty five years I shopped Best Buy exclusively for games, movies, software, and especially computers and electronics. Have noticed policy changes that don't favor customer anymore. Stopped shopping with them 4 years ago and never looked back! I would do without before I ever walked into another of their stores again!

Easy search features
December 4, 2015

Nice search features and I was able to pick up in store.
I did order something on BlackFriday (11/29) and am waiting for the package to show up (7 days and it's still waiting for UPS to pickup).
I guess I am spoiled by Amazon and waiting for more than a week is just too long for me.

I'm a big fan of Best Buy. The only reason I didn't give them 5 is pricing, which can be higher than most. However, Best Buy locations I've been to here in WV, always a great experience. Someone always willing to help and I like that.

I buy refurbish items and had quite a few headaches I checked them I said they sell electronics. So, got to the site purchased a blu ray for a fraction of the price sitll with me after few years. The tv stills going on too. So the refurbished items for sale in their site are reliable.

Best Buys For Real!
November 23, 2015

Did you know that Best Buy sells their Computers at a loss and only make money on accessories and warranty plans?! It's True! If you need a computer this is the place to buy it! Also Look for OPEN BOXES for even BETTER DISCOUNTS! If your smart you will also get the Geek Squad policies! They are worth it! Need a Computer? Buy yours from Best Buy! They also have INCREDIBLE BLACK FRIDAY DEALS! I am going to get everyone a computer for X-Mas! I have spent more money at Best Buy than I do in groceries!

The driver showed up on time about 9:30 as promised between 8 and 10 AM.

Told me in broken English "Won't turn on." After verifying power to the extension cord I asked about a "... temperature setting control?" I wasn't understood. Finally, I located the control, turned it up (or down for colder?) and the freezer started to hum.

I'd give Bust Buy FIVE stars for delivery and three stars for "installation."

Best Buy Geek Squad
November 23, 2015

I buy my computers from Best Buy and I always buy the geek squad service. This service has saved my so much trouble over the years. No matter what happens to the computer they take care of it. I love the service and the peace of mind that I have with it. I highly recommend them.

They are getting better
November 23, 2015

They got so much better! Changing my former review. I got such great deals since black friday, i still can't believe some of the prices. And free delivery to home with much of it. Stuff always delivered really fast, too. Pick up in store much better even in the xmas rush.

Web site much better for searching too.

Great shopping online for all those gifts that are just on sale for a short time on Black Friday! I was on Holiday and not remotely close to a store so I jumped online and ordered my gifts. I found that the site was super easy to use. I got everything on the gift list, the night they went on sale, free shipping and delivered in time for Christmas. Only a few items out of stock but later shipped at sale price when in stock.

Take the crazy Black Friday shopping to a better experience from your couch.

Very Helpful
November 22, 2015

I always get great service - when I can get a salesperson away from another customer! They don't always have what I want, but the sales guys do their best to figure out the answers if they don't know it. (Nobody's perfect). Decent prices. I'd recommend.
