Best Buy customers service

I had a nightmare customer service experience today at a Best Buy store in the Bronx Terminal Mall, New York. I went to do a simple return at this branch and encountered an agent at customer service who was outright mean in attitude in both verbal and non-verbal communication. My nightmare continued when i tried to get help on the phone with each agent interested in telling what they can not do after holding on for an hour. At the end after almost two waited hours i did not return my item for credit. I am a so-called ELITE card member. In short, I will close my Elite membership and stop shopping at Best Buy. Needless to say I will share my terrible experience with friends and family. I refused to spend my money at a place insensitive to customer experience period.
Ex-Elite,

Best Buy august lock

I received a gift from a elderly family member. Did not save receipts bought it, I don't know when it was a gift. He says he paid cash. I got on a chat with one of your team members and he assured me after I made very clear I Do NOT have receipt and I was going to have to take off time to come in. He assured me they would exchange. Got there and No they wouldn't. I was on the phone with your customer service and they said they could t so anything.

Absolutely the worst customer service ever.

Poor poor business.

Dear Sir or Madam I hope you are well. I am extremely unhappy with Best Buy, in particular the staff members Orit, Alannis, Tenzin at 2400 Yonge Street as well as the online call centers. I attempted to purchase an airconditioner about a month ago. The sale did not go through initially. It took several visits to the unhelpful store as well as several...

Best Buy misled and no assistance

In short (as I have spent way too much time):

Best Buy seems to have stacked the deck in their policies to maximize purchases and then mislead and not help.

I purchased a soundbar online BECAUSE it was guaranteed before Christmas. Best Buy says you can cancel within 30 minutes only. That is ok because it was guaranteed before Christmas. Hours later I received an email saying it may not arrive until January. I immediately made attempts to cancel my order and found it to be totally frustrating. I spoke to "Christine" from the Philippines (where I was sent when I called). Though she claimed to have authority to cancel the order she would not because she claimed it would get there before Christmas. He general unhelpfulness left me unconvinced. So all of the responsibility is put in my lap to return the items when it arrives, wait and track its removal from my credit card, all of this AFTER they misled me about their guaranteed delivery date.

Best Buy sucks

They delivered the wrong TV, so I asked for a correct one. Then, I called to request cancellation of the replacement because I want to go to the store and choose one myself. Not only they said that past half an hour they could not cancel the item, but when I asked to talk to a Supervisor, they hung up on me.
I called three more times and first the call got lost, the second time, the guy hung up on me.
Then a woman with a Chinese accent put me on hold for the manager who never came and hung up on me after 30 minutes.
The Customer Service BestBuys has is the worst. Please keep in mind when trying to buy from Best Buys.
BEST BUYS SUCKS BIG!

Best Buy samsung flex washer and dryer third party installation at best buy stinks.

After one disappointment after another from Best Buy, here's our review. As you read this, bear in mind we've been purchasing from Best Buy for personal and business for over 20 years. Never really impressed, but now after several consecutive run-ins, after spending thousands of dollars on computers, laptops, 4K 80 inch tv(s), 60 inch tv (s), and the latest $3800 Samsung washer and dryer it is time to get the word out! They just don't care anymore and lack common customer service. From the in-store employees who don't care, to the supervisors who have zero authority, to the lack of ability to correct and/or resolve an issue due to a failure on Best Buy's behalf, and then the third-party installers who lack skills, and or concern to complete services. The web site is a joke, the options you need to complete installation accurately, and completely are not available. My situation is that the installer said we need a 6 ft washer hose, and Best Buy only sells 4 ft washer hose kits, and so therefore they just can't install the new washer and dryer -- AND so they left! HMMM, nobody at Best Budy from the store, to customer service was able to do the right thing. After all I had a window for installation arrival between noon and 6 pm, it was now only 4:00 at the time of conflict, and yet nobody was available to complete this installation. By the way, the installer didn't even bring the washer in, and/or open the box to see where the water hose would connect - SO HOW DID HE KNOW a 4 FT wouldn't work - when I have a 4 FT with my current system, and my water is plumbed right next to the washer - My husband and I, our businesses, we just won't spend our money with a company that doesn't have quality control measures in place, lacks accountability, and doesn't provide supervisors, and stores with the authority to correct mistakes. Goodbye BEST BUY

I purchased a 3 pack set of batteries today and the check-out person made a cryptic comment about me being a "big spender". I do not like being insulted at a check - out desk by anyone. A customer is a customer and should be treated with respect. The service PIN is : [protected]. YOU need to train your staff to be respectful and non-committal. Patrick

Best Buy online order unconfirmed

I placed an online order for a few items yesterday (29 November 2019). I did not get the email confirming delivery. I happened to go into a Best Buy store near Yonge and Eglinton and queried the order. After looking for the order for a long time, the lady (Orit) became rather rude based on some Best Buy-Market Place link that I did not understand as I ordered from Best Buy. Best Buy, please educate your staff. At this point I have no idea if I can expect my online order to be delivered.

Best Buy best buy marketplace team plus quickphone marketplace seller

Bought a refurbished ipad 6 off the Bestbuy marketplace, received it with a cracked screen and sent it back. Seller claims i sent an item back they did not send me (saying i sent back an ipad 4, not the 6 they sent me). This is incorrect, i sent back the exact item they sent me and the next day. Not checking serial numbers to confirm it was a 6 they sent me...i assumed either they sent it with a crack or it got damaged in transit. I even offered to take a credit to get it fixed here, not knowing it was not even the generation 6 i purchased.. Marketplace investigated with zero actual communication with ME. I have proof the seller is being sketchy as i found they were still selling the ipad 6 i purchased, with the same web ID more than a 2 weeks after i purchased it/a week after i sent it back. Plus they had an ad up selling an ipad 4 with the EXACT model number as the one they claimed i sent back to them. According to customer service, the Marketplace team asked the seller to provide proof of their claim but has not contacted me to provide proof of my innocence. Purchase date was oct 22, arrival was oct 29 and i sent it back oct 30. Today i called customer service (who can see the conversations between the seller, marketplace team and I but cannot help me otherwise) states the seller has sent the ipad 4 back to me. marketplace has not contacted me and no refund given. The marketplace states they contact people within 5-7 business days so they have 4 more hours (MT time) until that deadline. I have been in contact with a fraud detective at a local police department, have contacted my CC company and made a complaint to the better business bureau. The charge was $430. Attached are photos of the ipad 6 i purchased with web code, the additional ad that was still up weeks later with same web code, the specs of of both ipads according to the serial numbers to compare model numbers. Every time i confronted the seller about my findings they took down the ads with no explanation . They also initially responded that i sent an ipad 2 back and retracted saying "they look the same" when i mentioned the serial number they gave me belongs to an ipad 4...but They refused to admit they may have accidentally sent me the ipad 4 and not 6 since they also "look the same".

The staff would not help me load 2 - 75 inch TVs . I had to ask a customer to help me load the 2 items because I had a suv and had to lay it on the side. The staff said they can only put it behind the suv on the concrete. I made it home with no issues and no damage.I think I deserve a discount because of the way I was treated. It was very embarrassing.

Best Buy laserjet printer

CEO Corie Barry / Steve Waligoski BEWARE of BEST BUY !

Steve Waligoski Senior Executive & This Is The Description after Steve Waligoski's Revision, Please LOOK >>> Specialist...
What's Included
AC power cord
Brother HL-L2370DW Wireless Black-and-White Printer
DR-730 drum
Installation CD-ROM
Quick setup guide
Starter toner cartridge (approx. 700 pages)
In Conclusion, I Submitted a BBB Complaint On This Matter and Shortly Afterward Was Contacted By Steve Waligoski A Senior Specialist at Best Buy Corporate, He Said He Was Sorry For My Inconvienance and would send me the 12, 000 page Drum/cartridge That The Description Stated, and Revise The Description On The Printer and Remove The 12, 000 page Discrepancy, He Left Me His Number And Said Call Him If There Was Any Problem ! (I didnt realize he was setting me up) ! I Took Him At His Word and Told Him I Did'nt expect The Call or That Best Buy Would Be This Honorable Especially After Dealing With The Store Manager LEES RAYES at My Local Best Buy ! Feeling Confident That The Matter Was resolved To My Satisfaction, I Closed The BBB Complaint. But This Was A BIG MISTAKE ! I Soon Received The New Drum, However The 12, 000 page Toner WAS NOT INCLUDED ! (This was Of My Initial Concern In the first place when I asked the Chat associate If The Printer Contained This 12, 000 page Cartridge or not ?) So I Called and Left A Message For Steve As He Told Me To Do If I Had A Problem ! And Told Him That I Received The Drum But NO TONER ? The Next Day He Called Me Back, He told Me That It Does Not Include The 12, 000 Page Toner That Was In The Initial Description ! So I Referd Him Back To The Initial Inquiry i Made In The Very Beginning, Talking To The Best Buy Chat Rep, Online... That This Was Specifically About That 12, 000 Page Toner The Whole Time !, Steve Said That The 12, 000 Page Toner Is Not Included Once More, I Said Its In The Online Description ! He Said NO ITS NOT ! I Told Him Ill Go Online and take A Pic and Send It Right Now ! (By This Time I Was On Best Buys Website At The Printer I Ordered And Looking At The Description ) LOL IT WAS GONE ! He Revised The Whats Included On The Printer, and REMOVED The 12, 000 Refrence From The Description ! Still On The Phone With Steve I Said ITS GONE ! You Removed It ! He Said It Does not say its included under The Description ! Of Course Not You Edited it Out ! Does This Sound Like Ethical Business Behavior ? But What Steve Did not Realize Is That I Took A Picture Of the Description Prior to Him Editing It Out that Showed The Original 12, 000 included Drum in the Original Description For Trish Walker, Best Buys Complaint Dept... This Whole Process Of My Experience With Best Buy Can Be Validated By Dates Of The Material I Have Included Above... In Summation, I Was Trying To Be As Honorable As Possible Initally Contacting Best Buys Chat Before Purchasing This Laser Printer, I Even Told the Chat Rep That This May Be A Typo ( Not Wanting to Waste My Time To Buy It and Have Issues Returning Etc If It Did Not Come With Both Cartridges ) He Guarenteed Me I Would Receive It As It is Stated In The Online Description after He Looked Up The description Himself, and even Posted The Description To The Chat session ! as you can see as part of The Transcript Of Our Conversation Here, ! Upon Initially Ordering This Printer Online, I Was Confident That Best Buy Would Honor The Item Description Just as Their Own Employee was ! But I Now Feel I was First Baited and Afterward Manipulated By Their Senior specialist Steve Waigoskis at There Corporate Office ! This Falls Upon Their Ethical Credibility and Disregard For their Consumers, Reducing Their Consumers Beliefs Towards Best Buy as Dishonorable, Disreputable, Impracticle, and Thereby Substandard In The Retail Market ! This Type Of Disconcern For Their Patrons Is Inappropriate To say The Least, I Can Actually Call Them Thieves and Liars With The Proof To Substantiate My Claims !
Very Upset !

So I Contacted The Chat Dept. to Verify This, I Told Your Chat Rep My Situation What The Description Said and It Could Be A Typo, So Before I Order I Want To Be Sure That I Would Receive Both Cartridges, He Assured Me That Best Buy Was Honorable as I Was Trying To Be and That If I Didn't Receive Both Cartridges in The Box Best Buy Would Definatly Send Me One at No Charge ! I Received the printer and Only 1 Cartridge In The Box, I Contacted The Chat Again and They Said To Take it up with my Local Best Buy, So I Contacted Our Local Best Buy Here In Apple Valley Calif and Talked To The Store MGR Lees Rayes Who Was Rude Disrespectful and Is A Liar ! He Said He Had The Item Description right in front of him and it said it only comes with one 700 page cartridge ! I Told Him Thats Not what it states in the description and He said it did ! I Included Above what it states in the description PLEASE READ IT ! It Does Not State it to Include Only One Cartridge Anywhere ! Furthermore why would it state a 12, 000 page at all for that matter if not included, under whats included ! So This Has Become A Hugh Waste Of My Time And Situation That Has Set A Rise In My Blood Pressure ! Now I'm UPSET ! Please Don't Blame Your First Chat Rep For Assuring Me That Best Buy Would Honor The Second Cartridge if Not Included, He was just Convinced In His Company's Responsible Ethical Standards, He Obviously has not met My Local Store MGR LEES, I Was Honorable And Before Purchasing Questioned The 700 page and 12, 000 page cartridges that it states are included ! So Now I Must Go Buy Another Cartridge, So I Can Finish My Job as well as dealing With This BS ! Im Very Disappointed In Best Buy At This Point, And now must consider Doing Business With You in the future ! here is a copy of the first transcript >>> Please Let Me Know Your Intentions Regarding This Matter ! I'm A Very Disappointed Customer At This Point !

Stephen Roberts (03:34:08 GMT) : Thank you for choosing Best Buy! This chat session will now end and you will see a short survey. I appreciate any feedback you can provide.

I Submitted a BBB Complaint On This Matter and Shortly Afterward Was Contacted By Steve Waligoski A Senior Specialist at Best Buy Corporate, He Said He Was Sorry For My Inconvienance and would send me the 12, 000 page Drum/cartridge That The Description Stated, and He Would Revise The Description On The Printer and Remove The 12, 000 page Discrepancy, He Left Me His Number And Said Call Him If There Was Any Problem ! (I didnt realize he was setting me up) ! I Took Him At His Word and Told Him I Did not expect The Call or That Best Buy Would Be This Honorable Especially After Dealing With The Store Manager LEES RAYES at My Local Best Buy ! Feeling Confident That The Matter Was resolved To My Satisfaction, I Closed The BBB Complaint. But This Was A BIG MISTAKE ! I Soon Received The New Drum, However The 12, 000 page Toner WAS NOT INCLUDED ! (This was Of My Initial Concern In the first place when I asked the Chat associate If The Printer Contained This 12, 000 page Cartridge or not ?) So I Called and Left A Message For Steve As He Told Me To Do If I Had A Problem ! And Told Him That I Received The Drum But NO TONER ? The Next Day He Called Me Back, He told Me That It Does Not Include The 12, 000 Page Toner That Was In The Initial Description ! So I Referd Him Back To The Initial Inquiry i Made In The Very Beginning, Talking To The Best Buy Chat Rep, Online... That This Was Specifically About That 12, 000 Page Toner The Whole Time !, Steve Said That The 12, 000 Page Toner Is Not Included Once More, I Said Its In The Online Description ! He Said NO ITS NOT ! I Told Him Ill Go Online and take A Pic and Send It Right Now ! (By This Time I Was On Best Buys Website At The Printer I Ordered And Looking At The Description ) LOL IT WAS GONE ! He Revised The Whats Included On The Printer, and REMOVED The 12, 000 Refrence From The Description ! Still On The Phone With Steve I Said ITS GONE ! You Removed It ! He Said It Does not say its included under The Description ! Of Course Not You had it Edited it Out ! Does This Sound Like Ethical Business Behavior ? But What Steve Did not Realize Is That I Took A Picture Of the Description Prior to Him Editing It Out that Showed The Original 12, 000 included Drum in the Original Description For Trish Walker, Best Buys Complaint Dept... This Whole Process Of My Experience With Best Buy Can Be Validated By Dates Of The Material I Have Included Above... In Summation, I Was Trying To Be As Honorable As Possible Initally Contacting Best Buys Chat Before Purchasing This Laser Printer, I Even Told the Chat Rep That This May Be A Typo ( Not Wanting to Waste My Time To Buy It and Have Issues Returning Etc If It Did Not Come With Both Cartridges ) He Guarenteed Me I Would Receive It As It is Stated In The Online Description after He Looked Up The description Himself, and even Posted The Description To The Chat session ! as you can see as part of The Transcript Of Our Conversation Here, ! Upon Initially Ordering This Printer Online, I Was Confident That Best Buy Would Honor The Item Description Just as Their Own Employee was ! But I Now Feel I was First Baited and Afterward Manipulated By Their Senior specialist Steve Waigoskis at There Corporate Office ! This Falls Upon Their Ethical Credibility and Disregard For their Consumers, Reducing Their Consumers Beliefs Towards Best Buy as Dishonorable, Disreputable, Impracticle, and Thereby Substandard In The Retail Market ! This Type Of Disconcern For Their Patrons Is Inappropriate To say The Least, I Can Actually Call Them Thieves and Liars With The Proof To Substantiate My Claims !

Best Buy brother laser jet purchase

Wendyscowboy
8:10 pm (1 hour ago)
To trish. Walker, me

I have a 900 page printing job I needed to do and was shopping laser jet printers, I found one on your online site @ bestbuy.com and read the description that said whats included, I copied it here >

What's included
Brother hl-l2370dw wireless black-and-white printer
Starter toner cartridge (approx. 700 pages)
Dr-730 drum (approx. 12, 000 pages)
Quick setup guide
Installation cd-rom
Ac power cord
As you can read for yourself, so since it stated it includes a 700 page as well as a 12, 000 page toner/cartridge /drum/ I assumed it could be a typo! So I contacted the chat dept. To verify this, I told your chat rep my situation what the description said and it could be a typo, so before I order I want to be sure that I would receive both cartridges, he assured me that best buy was honorable as I was trying to be and that if I didn't receive both cartridges in the box best buy would definatly send me one at no charge! I received the printer and only 1 cartridge in the box, I contacted the chat again and they said to take it up with my local best buy, so I contacted our local best buy here in apple valley calif and talked to the store mgr lees rayes who was rude disrespectful and is a liar! He said he had the item description right in front of him and it said it only comes with one 700 page cartridge! I told him thats not what it states in the description and he said it did! I included above what it states in the description please read it! It does not state it to include only one cartridge anywhere! Furthermore why would it state a 12, 000 page at all for that matter if not included, under whats included! So this has become a hugh waste of my time and situation that has set a rise in my blood pressure! Now i'm upset! Please don't blame your first chat rep for assuring me that best buy would honor the second cartridge if not included, he was just convinced in his company's responsible ethical standards, he obviously has not met my local store mgr lees, I was honorable and before purchasing questioned the 700 page and 12, 000 page cartridges that it states are included! So now I must go buy another cartridge, so I can finish my job as well as dealing with this bs! Im very disappointed in best buy at this point, and now must consider doing business with you in the future! Here is a copy of the first transcript > please let me know your intentions regarding this matter! I'm a very disappointed customer at this point! Don cone [protected]
