This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I purchased a laptop computer and a service contract with Best Buy Alpharetta, GA last year for my son. On May 22 of 2006 we brought it in for simple service, the lid was not closing and was loose. They were to repair it within approximately 3-weeks. Our estimated completing date was June 26th. My son received a call to pick up the laptop around that date. He went and found that parts were missing! They now had to keep it again. On July 3rd he again went to pick it up only to find out that they had ordered the wrong parts and it would be another 3 weeks.

He is attending summer classes at University so we requested a loaner or replacement and they would not help out. We still do not have it back!

Wood floors damaged by range being dragged over floors during install! Installer said it would be safe to push/drag range even after I questioned him & asked about using hand truck instead! It should never have been done this way!

Was charged for membership 298.00 after I had already emailed to not renew. Only got back 41. And then only 150 out of another 192 charge after several complaints. Highly dissatisfied! Want my account closed and ALL my money returned! You lost business big time!

On 8/29/2023 my order [protected] was delivered to my home. The six products are still in the original containers and in the location where the delivery team placed them. This morning I had reason to move the boxes from the top of the dryer and found the carton and the dryer are damaged.

I have receipt for purchase a computer and protection plan and copy of the contract for my protection plan. They are now trying to charge me for a repair because they say it cost more then the computer. But they contract doesn't say about me over extra cost.

Kevin, in the Geek Squad at Waterford CT store, solved an iPhone problem that had stumped Apple Online Support. Well done, he is a Keeper!

I bought a phone on Bestbuy that was sent to a wrong address and there is no proof it was delivered apart from a tracking number. I need the proof like a picture of delivery or my phone

The second I have an iphone repair, i receive a bogus email stating I have another computer to pick up or it attempts to sign me up with geek squad. It has all of my information on it yet its a scam yet BB continues to do nothing about once reported.

I bought a laptop on June 1st at Best Buy Enough and was refunded because the address could not be delivered, but the money has not been received by the credit card center for 5 days. What's going on?

When I returned the phone, I was charged $45.00 for restocking fee. This was at store #845 2445 Irn Point Rd. Folsom, CA. 96630. I purchased 5-16, 2023 & returned 5-17,2023. I will never BUY AT BEST BUY AGAIN! I will tell my Church members to also BOYCOTT BEST BUY!

I am an ex-Best Buy customer, I do not have an active account but I continued to get spammed by various parties with "legitimate" looking invoices... the last one came from this address . It would be worthwhile for Best-Buy as a company to make sure that current and past customers information is secured or expunged,

about an hour ago at about 6 AM on 31 December I was describing my problem with my computer when the agent stopped saying anything. Then when I tried to call back in 3 more times no one answers, suggesting that he may have blocked my call. Please have someone call me back about my computer issue.

I got a 6 six year old tin can that is still in someone else's name. Best buy does not stand by what they sell. They only want to sell you warranties and services. Also for some reason they divide the hardware from the software which they don't cover even so the pc came with software

I received these scam emails and I'm holding you responsible! Spend some money, contact law enforcement, install better security on your list, but make no mistake, I can buy electronic stuff elsewhere. Take me off all your lists now, I don't trust you anymore.

on 7/10, because of suddenly broken elevator in our building, when the 3 ordered kitchen appliances were initially delivered, they could not be delivered to our 4th floor. since then, the delivery was rescheduled many times. the appointments were confirmed by e-mails and phone calls. as of 9/10, the items have still not been delivered.

I do believe that a company as big as Best Buy will do the right thing when they are unable to help their customers.

This Company Best Buy is a complete Joke of a company, I would worn you to stay away from this company and it's stores. The customer service at these stores are not only rude and disrespectful, but when you want to file a complaint one cares and it falls on deaf ears at this company. I was given the complete run around for hours, nothing was done.

Feel ripped off as you advertise the 64 gigabyte model having a SSD and not eMMC memory. Also I was told they are the same by your geek squad after a call to store. Never again will I enter your store and plan on using social media and my YouTube review site to bring attention to this very misleading ad.

Bestbuy's GeekSquad added a year on my best buy credit card that threw me over my credit balance whic created an overlimit amount (which I am still paying on) without my permission not consent . I never signed up for automatic renewal because I had only a small line of credit and now they refuse to do anything about it because of it being outside their window to help although they created the ongoing problem for me. I have spoke to the Geek Squad dept who told me to talk to the Dispute department who then told me to talk with the customer service billing dept all of whom referred me back to the Geek squad dept who has said they can not do anything about this situation and to me they created FRAUD because I never gave signed up for automatic renewal of their service plan or gave my consent

I had read that purchasing the Best Buy extended warranty was not really necessary. If the product you had purchased was going to fail it would most likely do so within the first year when the manufactures warranty was still in effect.

Wrong, the Gateway laptop computer I purchased did fail within 8 months of purchase. However Best Buy continues to have you return the product to their service department where no service is performed. After they are certain that the warranty no longer applies, they tell you to get lost. You did not buy an extended warranty and there is nothing else we are going to do.

What a terrible organization, Best Buy.
