“Love this store!”

I've been super lucky and found some great deals on open box items via the website. Got my son a pretty spectacular gaming laptop for Christmas at around 60% off the regular price.

“Steal/ don't deliver/ cancel order:”

Overall, Best Buy is a complete joke. I've complained to the Better Business Bureau about this company. They are complete rip off. I can't wait until Amazon buys them out and they shut down. They literally stole a package and refused to give me my money back. I found the police report, and they never refunded me for the amount. Then for complaining, they placed me on a no online order or store delivery order List as if I would purchase from them again.

Do Not purchase an appliance at any Best Buy. I purchased a high end LG Washer/Dryer. They use a middleman called Cory Holdings/Vanliner Insurance who does the Installation. Long story short the Installers forgot to Secure the hose going to the Washer and 5 months later the hose decides to pop out and three hardwood rooms in my home were flooded and Cory the middleman doesn't want to take Responsibility for it... Despite that Geek Squad documented that they forgot to secure the hose! Now After many calls and emails to Best Buy, and Cory middleman I am left to either taking it out of my Homeowners or getting an Attorney. Gee I just had a roof leak in my new home and a roof leak in my old home so I don't want to use my homeowners so my rates hike up. I will never purchase One more thing from Best Buy. You stink.

I bought an Asus UX305FA at BestBuy and the screen had a glitch in the top right corner. The colour was turning to green after the laptop worked for about 2 hours. When I brought it back to the shop they said I broke the laptop myself and refused to take it back.

Bought a computer I was suppose to come with all accessories but nothing came. Went to return but said it was from marketplace. Right or wrong? You be the judge

Tip for consumers:
Was told to contact marketplace seller for refund but was sold under best buy name

The worst service you can get, the delivery doenst work, they made me wait for 6 hours, they dindt show up, they didnt called me and when I called them they treated me like s@#*t. I can understand why, they already have the money. If you go buy something on this company, make sure you can get it, coz the delivery service is a shame..

Received damaged phone that arrived late and I wasn't able to give the hone to my dad for Father's day. After waiting for the late arrival and waiting on the phone for 2 hours on father's day morning I was told it would arrive late. Once it arrived discovered it was damaged. I tried returning it in store and was accused of damaging it. They said I should have checked it in the parking lot eventhough it was a present... Was forced to buy geeksquad protection plan for $50 on top of the $275 i had already payed. They couldn't help me, so I had to wait 2 weeks for an appointment in person to be charged an additional $52 more and wait for the new phone. Not tl mention I have to ship back. Spent 1 hour waiting with Custer service again to be told I waited too long. Worst experience shopping for a phone.

Best Buy is a great store if you're a low information consumer who wants to pay too much money for junky low quality electronics. If you're the "lackluster veteran" INTJ type then this store is a waste of time.

I chose a laptop on their site and chose to pick it up in the store. There was no store within 100 miles that had it. Then I checked to see just how much shipping wolud cost. That option was not available (turns out it was going to be discontinued - so no new orders). The salesperson pointed me out a comparable laptop but it was not stocked in the store but could be ordered to the store 10 days later. Uugghh! My current one is broken and I really need my laptop! I ordered. I got a Aug 23rd delivery date. I was praying each morning I would have an email that it came in early. I did get an email today. The delivery will be delayed... until September 13th! Are you kidding?

My printer wouldn't print, so the first agent did a remote session, and after tons of clicks, removed my printer from listed devices on my computer and then abruptly ended the session, so the second agent argued with me regarding what my printer was (though she couldn't see it) and finally put in back on the list of devices on my computer, but then put me on hold for a long time and then ended the remote session...leaving the printer without a driver to make it work.
If I was computer savy, I wouldn't have to pay for the Geek Squad!
Do I get refunded for my lost/wasted time? NO!
Summary: waste of time and money!

I bought an ipad to surprise for my daughter but she preferred one with more storage. So, after two days i called BestBuy if I can return it at a different location because it was convenient for me, on the phone BestBuy was really nice about it, but when I went to the Schaumburg Bestbuy to return they weren't nice at all. She told me she preferred that I return it where I bought it from, but she returned for me anyway, then another lady came over with an attitude and this let me know that Bestbuy is not the place to buy... We went straight to Apple to get another one...

Geek Squad Manager
Store 1079
Unfortunately I had to deal with this guy and I have a truck I spent over $1,500 to get an alarm to my trailer and Best buy used interior wiring so it rusted within 6 months. Unfortunately John claimed to be a manager was rude on the phone couldn't answer my questions and never was willing to help me! When I tried getting him to get a manager he would not do it because he was incompetent and this is the kind of people that they hire as managers! Unfortunately for this store I used to spend over $5,000 a year buying game boxes and televisions and computers for four kids! Now I will have nothing to do with you ever again because during covet 19 your customer service fell apart and you're in store insulation is incapable of doing the work that they need to to back your warranty now I'm stuck with a truck that has $1,000 alarm that doesn't work because of this faulty Best buy company and John's lack of leadership and customer service!

Best Buy is a far cry from what its name implies, but on occasion they have good deals on computer parts and other electronics. Worth a look occasionally if you use sites like Pcpartpicker.com.

I really like their "geek squad" for assistance with any product purchased at best buy. There a good assortment of prints and they carry ink for all printers. If not in will order for you.

Best Buy is one of those stores that burned me about 15 years ago and I have never shopped there since. If companies do not treat me right they are not going to get my business.

They do have most things one could need/want as far as electronics. Prices are fair, comparable to other stores, and customer service is excellent.

They said The Rock would be signing autographs at Best Buy but all i saw was a fat lady on a scooter and some colored kid stealing food. Not interested on your crappy fake advertising.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER-I literally called 27 times, and got either hung up on, got nowhere, or was put on hold for over 2 hours. I can't imagine how a big company like BestBuy cannot handle a simple customer call for an item return! I regret the hour I purchased something from them. You are better off going elsewhere where they value customers and their time.

Best Buy missed appointments, and sent people who could not complete the job. To get a replacement dishwasher I was on the phone for over 5 hours. Do not shop here.

I'd HAD to give them one star otherwise I would have not given them any!

I called the day "Best" Buy delivered a 72" TV Stand that cost me just over $600 to say it was broken beyond repair. They said they would send UPS to pick it up. Two months later and MANY MANY calls to them and communications with their Fakebook representative, I've been told twice that they can't help me because I'm not outside of their standard return window. REALLY?!? This isn't my fault - it's YOURS! And I'm stuck with a 100+ pound box of broken wood pieces and Best Buy gets to keep over $600 of my money. What's wrong with this picture? NEVER EVER EVER AGAIN - I promise!

Tip for consumers:
Don't buy from "BEST" Buy!

They sent me a severely damaged TV stand and its still sticking in my garage. They promised to send UPS out to pick it up but they didn't, and after MANY calls over 2 months time, they told me that they couldn't have UPS pick it up because it was outside of their return window! They did not refund my money either! I will be speaking the state's Attorney General.

I love best buy, fantastic selections of TVs. As an added bonus the prices are usually alright, and the staff is incredibly helpful. Soo much better than the closest competitors.
