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.

I go to them for a LOT of electronics now. We purchased a large 72" flat screen with 3D and they delivered it and even checked it to make sure it was not damaged.

Bad Experience!
February 23, 2015

I purchased a lab top for $650. After 21 days, the port wasn't working correctly. The geek employee said, the damage was caused by me. Best Buy didn't exchange my lab top. For that reason I won't buy any electronics there.

Zero Stars for Best Buy
February 23, 2015

Zero Stars for Best Buy of Palm Desert the absolute worst place to go for repairs of any kind in the desert! I brought back a repair that they did that worked great but needed some fine tuning that they told me about beforehand. Came back to pick up my fairly New Laptop and they said it went Blue Screen and was toasted and there was nothing that they could do about it and that was it they could not give me back my laptop that worked good when I brought it in and now it was toast! I demanded all of my money back and they told me that they could only give me back just part of what I had "just" paid them for their repair contract, etc. I demanded again and finally got the top manager to refund all of my money and I went home and fixed the damn thing myself and I don't have clue about computers and Now it works better than ever! These people are GED rejects one and all!

It's getting harder to always find the best price for electronics at Best Buy. But I still buy from them regularly. I was recently very disappointed they would not price-match the local caustic's advertised price on the costco website. So I spent the $4,000 at Costco instead, because Best Buy would not come down $50 on a bunch of flat screen TVs for my business.

I used to buy there years ago when there was more competition. Over the years, competition is no longer as all went bankrupt. Geek Squad was horribly overpriced and I've resolved in other ways. Plus, they really didn't know much about Macs at all. Today, I hardly go there at all.

Haven't been to the brick and mortar Tiger Direct so I can't comment. I did get a modem there once, and it went belly up within 3 weeks. Sorry.

They use to be better
February 19, 2015

Best buys customer service is slipping, I recently had a auto starter installed into my truck it was supposed to take 2 hours to be done, I waited for 6 hours and after hour 3 I complained and the service bay told me to wait and I didn't have a choice, just sit down and they will be done when they get done. So I sat down what could I have done my truck was torn apart and eventually they finished and I left. Needless to say I didn't buy my parents auto starter there or my wifes for Christmas. I had a appointment and they could care less about their customers. Their service is about the same as Kmart and other older chains that have been beaten down by the public demands for excellence.

Best Buy a Joke!
February 19, 2015

Called my local Best Buy asked if they had a certain Blu ray player and asked if I could have it put on hold until the next day She said only if I paid for it first. I said fine and gave her my CC info. 45 minutes later 1st email thank you, 5 minutes after the 1st email So Sorry we don't have the item you paid for, inventory glitch blah, blah, blah. Apparently the order takers are glued to their seats and don't have anyone to do a physical check. Oh but wait I could wait 2 weeks and they could probably get me one.

I love my best buy rewards program. I save huge with this. I love my selection and I love the support I get from each and every staff member. The store is always stocked well. But... because I do not have an hour to wait for cell service as the lines are always was to long I have had to take my business else wear for that only.
