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.
They are quite competitive and have a great selection and customer satisfaction.
There nothing special. I had poor custmer service, both in the store and on line.
The prices i rather high. Geek squad what ever--for get it. Smart dumb jokes on sales. Prices $ very high. From 2010 to 2013 8 stores closed down. I dont shop there any more. I got some good deals at SEARS.
Best Buy is one of my favorite places to go to look at the latest electronics.
I have never had any issues with Best Buy ever. Always happy to shop at their stores. Not many corporations I can say that about these days!
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 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.

Wait hours to return product. Managers argue with you. No trust. Warranties are terrible don't buy
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.
I have always used Best Buy for shopping and always i'm satisfied
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.
Order a Verizon cell phone for my spouse during their Black Friday event of 2013. The price was great. The ordering process went very smoothly.
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.
Great merchandise and service after the sale. They usually stand behind their products and advertising.
Last Week i bought Kanger Subtank Atomizer from this company, Quality is normal but the good thing is i got free delivery and discount. I really appreciate personally.
I recently ordered my LED TV for my bedroom with Best Buy, Prompt delivery within 2 days and great quality. Thank You
Good products for the most part and they stand behind them. A good place to shop for electronics.
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.
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
