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.

My laptop has broken. The nearest place to me was a Best Buy shop. For just a few days they repaired my HP - thank you for that!
I would shop oninle. I think bestbuy is one of those will be done and closing down in a few years. You can usually get same items online half price.
I ordered a part online to pick up at the store the following morning. It was 'in stock" at the time I paid. The Store says it opens at 9 am. I arrived at 9:10 and went to the Customer Help desk. The child behind the desk let me stand there for 5 minutes before she even acknowledged I was there. I asked about my order and her response was "The computers aren't up yet, you'll have to wait." So I waited. Once the computers were up, my product - for which I had been charged and had the receipt to prove it - "wasn't available". I tried to explain that I had ordered online and been charged and she became petulant and rude. I asked her to check in the appropriate department and her response was "If they had it, it would be here already." So, I requested a supervisor. When the supervisor came I politely asked that she accompany me back to the department in question to see if my item was there. She did and it was - right on the shelf in plain sight! I grabbed it and walked back to the desk with her. I said to the child "I was back there, just as I said." and the supervisor then had the audacity to reprimand me and order me to not 'speak to' her staff. I took my part and left and I will NEVER go back.
Always have a great experience in any best but I go in they always have stick of the top selling merchandise Always have name brands
Recomended, fair prices, tracking delivery, in time delivery. I bought an SSD disk and I received earlier than preview.
If you like tech, and gadgets, then this is your place to play with new toys, or check them out. May not always have the best price on display but they do price match so if you see it cheaper say something
Always was a Best Buy fan but with their Price Match guarantee they have made things much easier/better. Will keep buying from them.
All what you need in one place, when i'm boring and need see something fresh i go to best buy and make my afternoon better:-)
I purchased a MacBook pro a couple years ago and the battery is dead has to be plugged in constantly or else it has to be rebooted immediately. I tried calling to get a price on a new battery and was on hold for a half hour before they disconnected me. I then contacted a best buy agent online and was told by them that they couldn't give me a price and that i had to visit the store or call to get a price. I live over an hour away so stopping in the store is not happening and each time i call i end up on hold and being disconnected. It is like they don't want my business. I have spent over 5 grand with them and will not spend any more! I recommend whoever reads this doesn't either.
I use to just use this site to pay on the credit card but now I use the site for looking up virtually anything I can to do price comparisons without having to waste all the extra gas going across town then the extra hassle of having to go store to store and try and locate each thing I am looking for. (just to find out they are "out of stock")
VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE STAFF.(GEEK SQUAD). PRICING IS REASONABLE TOO. I'VE SHOPPED THERE FOR YEARS FOR ALL MY COMPUTER NEEDS.
They're always helpful with what I'm trying to find a lot I can rely on them Best Buy has the best electronics and I'll always trust them and I always do business with them why do you have to have a hundred characters in here by the way
Over an hour and on hold again trying to talk to a supervisor of customer service. I ordered a product at the store that had to be shipped to me. 5 days later it is returned to the warehouse 2 states away. No calls, no emails. I called several times to customer service to have the product reshipped to me. Cut off at one point waiting for a supervisor. I called back, half an hour and still trying to get the issue resolved. This will be my last try using Best Buy. So much for the brick and morter stores. It is Ebay.com or Walmart.com. Terrible, terrible, terrible customer service.
Dont particularly like their return policies and I think they need more staff to answer questions. Can never find anybody and when i do, they dont work in that department
Excellent collections in best buy. The personal touch and visualization is possible only in best buy
Purchased a dishwasher from bestbuy.com. Delivery was scheduled 10 days out. On delivery checked the website and it originally said order was being prepared. 1 hour later it said order needs to be rescheduled Called customer service, spoke to 9 different people none of whom knew why the order needed to be rescheduled. Finally asked to cancel the order and get a full refund. That only took 5 different people to talk to. Very frustrating and very difficult to deal with people who are clueless.
We were looking for a computer with a built in web browser, and on their site, we found a 48" Sony with a built in browser for $379, so we ordered it. When it arrived, the "web browser" was a set of select web sites with (mostly) pay per view movies. After a day of frustration, we called "best buy" to return it, and they informed us that they knew it didn't have a browser, and to bring it back, and they would find one "comparable". What my wife came home with was a 50", that she had paid $80 more. I had assumed we would be traded even for their obvious misrepresentation of the product. But with no shame they talked her into throwing good money after bad. Stat away from this den of thieves. They would steal the gold from your teeth, if they could.
My hard drive took a big dump a month ago, which meant Best Buy had to repair it. I got my laptop back, and I started getting adware/spyware pop-ups. I heard that some of these places do mess with computers during their repairs so beware.
Answer: I am sure there is a catch-like a 2 year contract. No one gives you a phone for $1
Answer: All I can say is that you obviously have been very lucky. I was a dedicated customer for 25 years, however, I would do without before I ever spent another dime in a Best Buy!
Answer: I would write a letter to your state's attorney general. There are laws regarding taking advantage of senior citizens. I would specifically ask for documentation from Best Buy in which your grandmother gave them permission to recycle her 18 month old computer. If they cannot produce that document they may be in very big trouble with the state's attorney general. I would also write the BBB and contact your public officials. This I think would be paramount to theft if your grandmother did not give them permission to recycle her computer. On the flip side of things, ASUS is a very good machine. My son is a computer scientist and swears by ASUS. I have three ASUS machines one of which is over 5 years old and it is a workhorse. Unless something significant happens in the ASUS business world, I will continue to buy ASUS!
Answer: Great question. Let us know if you were able to get reimbursed.
Answer: I chose Best Buy tech support because they seemed to offer a good deal on support and I bought my products there. I'll go elsewhere now.
Answer: I dont know? I dont knowi dont knowi dont knowi dont knowi dont knowi dont knowi dont knowi dont knowi dont knowi dont knowi dont knowi dont knowi dont know
