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.

BestBuy offers the best discounts. I used to doubt the authenticity of their discount until I tried shopping elsewhere.

Great Deals Online
April 8, 2017

I have found AMAZING deals online at best buy. Especially on Cyber Monday. I was able to get laptops of higher quality, unlimited quantities for much cheaper than on Black Friday. Plus, they have great sales and also price match.

Decent

I dislike their customer service. Generally I don't ever have an issue, which is great... but when you do have an issue, their customer service is not up to par.

Points System
April 6, 2017

My husband and I had heard about Best Buys point system from our friend (caucasian), and decided to get a credit card. We purchased two Large Screen televisions, a desktop computer, a laptop, a washing machine, and today a dryer. I happened to ask about my points after I made my purchase, and was told that I didn't have any. I asked why? They told me that it should have been offered during my purchases, but most of them were online. I called and spoke with a Customer Care Rep that told me that she couldn't help me. I then was transferred to a forign speaking person, and she offered me nothing. We're African American, and feel that this is a discrimination issue.

We ordered a W/D to be delivered to our condo. We also requested that they be hooked up. In the delivery instructions I was very emphatic that there is a 10 ton weight limit on trucks in our parking lot. I told 3 people about this and it was written on the order. They arrived with a 20 ton truck which resulted in a longer and more time consuming delivery than they had planned for. When they went to install the w/d the outlet for the dryer was wrong. So they did nothing with the dryer. They did not hook the plug into the dryer nor did they attach the vent tubing. They also did attach the plug to the washer or plug it in. It seemed as if they were rushing to get out of here because bringing the wrong truck made them late for other deliveries. Had I known the service would be this bad I would have shopped elsewhere and will do so from now on. I should have known better. I highly value good customer service. It is what sets businesses apart. Best Buy's customer service is crappy.

Cool
April 3, 2017

I use the service direct message recently. But I already had time to evaluate it at the highest level. A large number of prompts allows you to configure the service without any problems. A lot of tips. The necessary messages are automatically generated along with the sending. Over a short period of time, the conversion increased by 36%. This is very cool really!

My uncle, who is 56 years old filled out an online application for a job at Best Buy and what he encountered was age discrimination. The application asked for all kinds of info, which he said, "figures out your age". When he went down to the local BB some of the younger employees even confirmed this for him, saying that, "older men, and especially women, have no idea how electronics work and they are a "waste of company time". Isn't that illegal, to discriminate by age? BTW, I am writing this for him, not because he is not electronic savvy; he moved to another country (Germany) and got a job with IBM! (Shows how dumb BB is!). They really should get some good attorneys for this is discrimination!

Good for electronics
March 30, 2017

I always get my electronics here. The stuff is a little more expensive and their price matching has gotten stricter, but their return policy is great. I prefer buying at a store than off an online website for this reason.

I've ordered online and shopped in store with BB for many years and they are really great.
If there is any problem, they fix, replace or refund very quickly.
