Best Buy Damaged 50 inch TV

I purchased a TV from Best Buy online received it April 21, 2020. Needless to say I had to wait until UPS cleared to request a new one. Well when UPS cleared I tried to order a replacement. I was told they were out of stock. But they would send a UPS sticker to return the old one. Needless to say. It is May 7th and I have not gotten my TV yet. The customer service is the worst I have ever dealt with. 2-3hrs wait. I have had 3 CSR and each one gave me a bougus line. One said I will have the replacement TV by April the 30th. No TV. The next one told me it was 15days past the return mark and needed to get his supervisor to clear it up. Well that was a hold time for 3hrs. This is crazy I will never buy anything else from Best Buy. I will infor all my friends and coworkers to place orders online at there own risk. Sad and disappointed customer.

Best Buy Final fantasy 7 remake

Scammmmmmm!, preorder at your own risk.

They will hold your money but never deliver your items.

Ordered on the 9th, expecting to ship on the 10th. Release day. Never shipped for 4 days. I spammed them on social media but no repsonse. Ever. I am pissed off.

Filed a bbb complaint and will dispute the charge if my game doesn't deliver by this weekend. If I do receive it, i'm returning it asap. I am. Never shopping at best buy again. I hope they go under once the pandemic has passed. They deserve to go bankrupt with their trash customer service.

Best Buy Online Samsung Purchase

March 2, 2020 I placed an order online with Best Buy Canada for Samsung Galaxy S20+ 5G 512GB w/ Galaxy Buds+, Wireless Charger & microSD - Cosmic Black - Unlocked package. Several emails & telephone calls back and forth to confirm my correct shipping & billing address and to verify my order would shipped.

This order was eventually cancelled because of the above issues. Best Buy online order system needs a drastic tweak and there certainly needs to be better communication between their call center & customers. I have previously made several Amazon.com, Amazon.ca and many other purchases with the same credit card with no issues whatsoever.

I spent a lot of time on hold speaking with three of their sales agents and even a supervisor trying to have my order shipped to no avail.

A real time consuming and very painful experience. Best Buy Canada you can absolutely do better than this!

I tried loading my new DVD movie, Hacksaw Ridge. It seemed like forever to load. After a few minutes, I received an error message. I thought it must be a defective DVD so I took it back to exchange. Come to find out, Best Buy does not exchange or refund opened up packages. How else are you going to find out if the product works or not if you don't open it?...

While checking into laptops to buy I was extremely rudely asked to unplug from the laptop that I was looking into. I explained to the employee politely what I was doing that I wanted to see all aspects of the computer before I buy it. He continued to be absolutely rude and distasteful to me in front of other customers as well. I asked politely to please not...

Best Buy customer service very rude and unpleasant

The fist thing I want to point is that the best buy card is the worse card ever, I got charged interests on a buy I got 12 month with no interest. And every time I call is a problem with the customer service being rude and unpleasant. Best buy is a very large company that needs to deal with this situation or they are going to lose a lot of customers . From my part, this is the last time I'll use the card to buy, and is a same because every year for black Friday that where I buy mist of the Christmas gifts.

I purchased a laptop at Best Buy as a Christmas present. We were out of town when the gift was opened, it does not work. I went to the store and asked for a refund or exchange. I was told that I kissed the refund date by 2 days and that I had to deal with Dell about any problems I've had. No one looked at the product, tried to correct an issue or even ask...

Best Buy customer service

I purchased a vacuum cleaner on sale. It was to be delivered on January 14th. It was somehow damaged during delivery with UPS. I called customer service to see when I would be receiving a new one. They informed me that since UPS is returning it I need to wait until I receive a refund and then call them back. The vacuum is now $130 more. She said they might be able to give me the sale price but again advised me we need to wait until I receive my refund before we can do anything. Unbelievable!

Best Buy customers service

I had a nightmare customer service experience today at a Best Buy store in the Bronx Terminal Mall, New York. I went to do a simple return at this branch and encountered an agent at customer service who was outright mean in attitude in both verbal and non-verbal communication. My nightmare continued when i tried to get help on the phone with each agent interested in telling what they can not do after holding on for an hour. At the end after almost two waited hours i did not return my item for credit. I am a so-called ELITE card member. In short, I will close my Elite membership and stop shopping at Best Buy. Needless to say I will share my terrible experience with friends and family. I refused to spend my money at a place insensitive to customer experience period.
Ex-Elite,
