Best Buy
reviews and complaints

I dropped off my iPad for repair on 05/02/22 as instructed to do by apple support. The geek squad representative assessed my device and stated it was good to go as there was no physical damage it just did not power on.

On 05/13/22 I went to pick up my iPad and was extremely disappointed as it was returned to me damaged. It was bent, the screen was uplifted and would not close properly to the seal with adhesive coming from the inside out.

There was a note with my iPad from "Apple" stating they could not work on my iPad because of the physical damage that was not there when I dropped it off with geek squad.

on 05/13/22 Mike from geek squad assured me he would get this issue squared away as soon as possible. He stated he contacted apple support to escalate the matter and it would take 24-48 hours to hear back.

I followed up with Mike on 05/15/22 at the store who directed me to his GSM Jada. Jada stated that apple had a system shut down on Saturday 05/14 so to give it another day to allow them the proper 24-48 hours. She gave me her cell phone number along with this email address for the store.

I followed up as requested by email several times with no response. I then called Jada directly and she stated she still had not heard anything but that she did re-escalate my issue and that if that does not work, she would need to make a call to someone else.

On yesterday 05/17/22 I emailed the best buy email provided and attempted to call and text Jada directly but she did not answer.

Today is 05/18/22 and I have not heard from anyone concerning my matter and what needs to be done to replace my iPad as it was damaged in the care of best buy geek squad. I received an email from a Mr. Oyler at 09:15 am stating Jada will be at work today and will give me a call once she arrives but still has not called me.

Best Buy has made this extremely inconvenient and refuses to care for their customers.

I have been doing business with Best Buy for many years. I purchased a service policy with them. My new laptop went on the blink and I tried to get someone at the store I purchased it at and they do not let you talk to anyone at the store. They sent me to some other country and the people do not talk English. They wiped out 20 years of pictures and every single file I had on it. I had to go back to the store and the guy I have always dealt with told me this happens all the time. He said he did not know if he could get my files back. He said this happens all the time. I tried calling the corporate office and guess what? They sent me to another country and they do not talk ENGLISH.

I bought this product from Best Buy less than 2 years ago.

The compressor just failed and Best Buy claims no responsibility for selling faulty merchandise. About $800.00 for repair and that does not include lost food.

I will not shop at Best Buy again.

Best Buy is the worst company I have ever dealt with. I purchased an Exhaust Hood for above my Stove. I payed extra for Delivery and Installation. I picked a Time and Date to fit my work schedule, but had to take a half a day Vacation for it. My time was set for between Noon and 8PM. The day before I received a Voicemail telling me that my time had changed and they will deliver now around 10AM.

I called them back which in itself is a total pain to reach a person. I made clear that the appointment I made 3 weeks prior had to be just that. They agreed and my appointment stayed the same as originally scheduled.

I was then reminded twice with a phone call, once by e mail and once by text about my upcoming appointment the next day.

The delivery was done by a third party and they arrived about 2:30 PM and they were super nice and polite.

So now I have this huge Box sitting in my Kitchen and was waiting for the Installers, while I had my Electrician pretty much on standby.

As it got closer to 7PM I was a little worried but since they gave me a timeframe up to 8PM I thought I just give it a little more time.

Well 8PM rolled around and nobody showed up or called or texted me about the missed appointment, although the day before they were getting crazy with the reminders about that appointment.

So I had to do the miserable task calling them to find out what had happened.

The person I reached was actually nice, looked up my account and noticed that there was no show no call. He made a note of that into my account Info.

He told me I had to set a new date for Installation and that was a week away. I was obviously upset. Now it would be a month after purchasing the hood to finally get it installed and I had to take another half a day Vacation for it because it was again between Noon and 8PM.

The day before my second appointment nobody contacted me with any reminders, which I thought was odd.

I had a really bad feeling and sure enough nobody called or showed up for my second appointment. I did not even have the nerve to call them again since that is such a pain in my behind and chances are I will get someone on the phone which does hardly speak English or doesn't Comprehend what I am trying to say. I had that happened while trying to communicate with them.

I am over Best Buy and learned my lesson never to Purchase anything there again. Good thing we have options.

The only bad thing is that I still have that huge Box sitting around with my delivered Hood inside. I had to move it into my Bedroom out of the main traffic in the Kitchen.

Now I have to hire someone to install it for me and 5 weeks went by since my purchase.

I purchased two iBUYPOWER - SlateMR Gaming Desktop - Intel i7 11700F - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6GB - 480GB SSD + 1TB HDD PCs from Best Buy for Christmas 2021.

One of the PCs abruptly stopped working in April of 2022.

I brought the PC to Best Buy, since I had a maintenance plan and the PC was covered by warranty also.

I was advised that the power supply was faulty and would have to be replaced.

I was advised, once at Best Buy, that the PC would have to be mailed back to iBuypower for the work to be completed since Best Buy is Not allowed to service the PC under the warranty.

The cost to mail the PC to iBuypower would have easily been over the cost of a new power supply.

I had Best Buy replace the power supply, which I had to purchase.

I am very upset that a 4 month old computer with minimal use needed a new power supply because the one that was in the unit when purchased was obviously faulty.

What bothers me the most is that Best Buy would sell such products which have such warranty stipulations. Apparently my Best Buy maintenance plan was unnecessary since I had to purchase a new power supply.

I have been purchasing my electronics and appliances from Best Buy for many, many years and to be truthful will continue to do so.

I am very happy with the service I receive from all your associates, sales, service, repairs etc...I am however a disturbed that someone with my loyalty to your company can be allowed to purchase, what I consider now, to be an inferior product. I would never believe Best Buy would sell such inferior products.

I am asking for consideration for compensation for the power supply I was required to purchase.

Mailing my PC back to iBuypower would have been much more expensive than the new power supply cost.

Please Advise.

last week I took my defunct chromebook to the geek squad in my city toronto dundas store to get some help regarding my laptop. #[protected]. I did purchase an HP laptop plus the GSP+V5 program as well.

I asked my sale associate if the data from my chromebook transfered to my new HP laptop. he said yes but you have to leave it overnight, I agreed and after a call saying the new LP was ready. when I went to the dundas store to pick it up the sales associate told me the transfer of data had not been done because chromebooks data cannot be transfered. I asked her why the blueshirt who had told me it could be done told me this. of coarse she did not know so I asked to speak to the supervisor. they told me this was a mistake of the sales associate and that he would be spoken to.

I took the new HP laptop home and after one day I decided I did not like it and took it back to the dundas store. I did end up buying a more expensive one and again I wanted the data switched to my new purchase since my banking info was on the new HP LP.

the blue shirt told me the transfer would take 2-3 hrs and I would recieve a phone call. over this period of time I did not recieve a phone call so I decided to return to the store and find out if the data transfer had be done.

upon my return I was told it had not been done because they were "TOO BUSY". I asked to speak to the manager mohsin hashmi and when I approached him he was imediately hostile to me. instead of getting my side of the story he started mocking me and arguing with me. he even called me a hypocrite.

I told him he could not call a customer a hypocrite and I did not appreciate it.

so in 2 days I returned to the store twice only to find the data had not been transfered when it had been promised to me. he didn't know about the first incodent so he assumed I was just being an irate customer.

the blue shirts have an obligation to communicate with the customer and the geek squad and to follow up when a promise to transfer data is made.

all it would have taken was a phone call to say he julie we are not going to be able to transfer your data could you leave it over night, I would have been ok with that. I was made to feel like an hysterical female and I don't think I deserve that.

Bought the refrigerator at the Glendora California store. Have had four service calls to repair and/or replace ice-maker, and the service department was unable to repair, so now I am waiting 16 more weeks for a replacement door to be made at an off-site manufacturer. I bought the extended service warrantee, and that appears to be a worthless written excuse to pass the buck. I have called a total of seven different phone numbers trying to resolve this, even tried the corporate office in Richfield, MN to no avail. I don't know if Whirlpool makes faulty appliances, or if Best Buy service is inept, but both are at fault here.

On 4/3/22 while my computer was being remotely operated by a Geek Squad tech my PayPal password was changed and my account was used to purchase a Best Buy gift card without my knowledge or consent. On 4/7/22 I saw the fraudulent charge on my credit card and immediately contacted PayPal, my card company and Best Buy.

I have been a long time user of Geek Squad and am shocked and appalled by the lack of response from Best Buy. I have called and emailed numerous times with no result other than being told that my case is being investigated and I will hear something in 24 to 48 hours. It's been 3 weeks!

I was able to recover the deleted emails that show the date and times of the fraudulent transactions and sent them to their abuse email twice, also with no response. I would think this should be the proverbial smoking gun since they tell me all sessions are taped so the perpetrator should be easily identified.

I am very upset by this violation of my trust by this Geek Squad tech and cannot understand why Best Buy is not taking this seriously. They are selling a service that relies on trust and obviously in this case that trust was shattered, I do not want this to happen to anyone else and I want to know what they are doing to ensure this will not happen again!

I went into my local best buy after trying to play a game on my PC monitor that should be but is. After chatting with tech support (Geek Squad) and allowing them to access my computer they advised me that the monitors I purchased are actually not as described on the box or the monitor itself. They told me that I need to return to best buy and let them know that I was sold improper equipment. I saved those chats and took them with me as well to my local best buy where I purchased the items on my Father's BB credit card. The lady Nina who was helping me was very rude and disrespectful, unprofessional and needs MUCH additional training. She then proceeded to tell me to bring in my entire computer and monitors, which I told her I won't do that considering she advised me if my computer gets damaged while in their hands that is my issue and they will not be paying for my computer. She was crazy out of her mind since it cost me $5000... She needs so much more training than what she has gotten in the past, that's for sure.

Took my air pod pros in for repair. They said they sent them off and when the returned was another pair with no warranty and still same problem. I do not believe they sent them it for repair case was dirty like they was just sitting on shelf and abused. When I went back to store to tell them they still was not working the supervisor lucus was not willing to listen or work with me. Best buy has lost a good customer with me I also work on computers as was getting alot of parts and other products and recommending best buy, bu after this never ever will I shop at best buy again or would I tell someone to go to best from now on its stay away from best buy, also will recommend apple remove their product from bestbuy after what they pulled store # 2200 fairview heights, il

Back in October 2021, I purchased the Thermador kitchen Appliances from Best Buy. As of today (March 2022) I still did not receive my appliances. I am constantly getting the e-mails from Best Buy to schedule the delivery date, however their calendar is not available, it's totally blank. The customer service is not able to provide any details on my order. The Sales person, who sold me the appliances said that all my appliances received in the warehouse. I do not know, how it can help me, if I cannot schedule the delivery date to get my appliances.

I AM FEELING THAT I WAS RUBBED BY BEST BUY FOR ALMOST $28,000.00, PLEASE HELP.

I will provide any additional information including order# if needed.

I spent $400.00 on a Sony Home Theater receiver at Best Buy. We own a Sony Bravia TV, a Sony Blu Ray and Surround Sound system from Best Buy. Was simply trying to confirm the compatibility of the new receiver to the existing items. I've invested 4-5 hrs with Best Buy reps including a snotty Geek Squad tech who came to the house. Got absolutely nowhere. I found what I need to hook up the receiver and had to get new speakers from Amazon. It took me 15 minutes on Amazon to get what I needed. I paid my annual fee for their Total Tech Support of $200.00. Best Buy has nothing but incompetent people at all levels. Left a VM for the local store manager to call me-nothing. My next action will be to file a complaint with the Col Dept of Consumer Affairs/Attorney General's Office for Deceptive Trade Practices. Hold my beer.

My son brought in his laptop because it would not power up. Best Buy didn't even have a battery to test it with or even one available to buy! He missed 3 weeks of college courses because we had to dig up the battery ourselves! Why would you have a repair department if you're not going to have a simple battery available to test with. It's like having to bring your own oil filter to an oil changing shop! Ridiculous!

Current-March 2022. BEWARE OF THIS PONZI SCHEME!

This company has signs of a Window Ponzi Scheme.

I contracted with company in December 2021 with the salesman, Michael White, who gave me a March 2022 delivery/installation date on TWO orders to replace windows for my two homes. I paid my deposits to company on December 15. After waiting patiently for over 3 months, I contacted company for a delivery status update at beginning of March. My salesman-Michael, Project Manager-Eric, Receptionist-Tim, and new Salesman, Ray Lendenham, have avoided my calls for weeks before finally indicating my order had not even been placed with the manufacturer! Worst, they couldn't even find my orders and asked me to send them a copy which I did. I requested that they refund my deposit and I would just move on with another supplier. Since then, I've heard nothing and requested several times to talk to Owner, Dax Kirks but to no avail. The Receptionist actually told me that the Owner can't be bothered with day-to-day activities. My question to him is "who is in charge of customer daily activities?"

Bottom line, Dax Kirks and Best Windows and Siding took my deposit for windows in December 2021 and failed to EVEN ORDER my windows. Now, they are refusing to refund my deposit! What do you call a company who takes your money and fails to deliver on contract until another Sucker Customer comes along with a deposit to pay for the previous customer? A PONZI SCHEME!

our TV stopped working in the month of December 2021which was bought in October 2020.we did buy a protection plan for extra 400 dollars.I emailed geek squad 20 times And I guess I gave the geek squad 50 calls to look into this matter. But I all I hear is “we have generated a ticket” for you but nobody has come to our house to see what the problem is with our TV.what you want us to do .we have no tv in our home from last 4 months.

Enough is enough.you company has tested our patience level now. I will make sure that from Now onwards we donot buy anything from you as your company can easily rip the money off from the customers. and i feel cheated now.

I had my fridge delivered on 1/4/22. When the guys were installing it the damaged the water line in the back. It proceeded to leak behind my fridge for several weeks until I found water in my basement. After multiple call to customer service. I was told some from the claimed department would be getting ahold of me. It is now 3/8/22 and guess what...no one has. I have spent over 10 hours on the phone with this company to always be told the same thing. The say the person before them never entered the claim. Over 7 phone call! Nothing floor and wall are damaged. They have done nothing! Please do not buy big items from them.
