I ordered a monitor and a pair of headphones for delivery, because it wasn't available in the store. Best Buy didn't require a signature and an ID for either item. The headphone is $221.53 and the monitor is $421.99. The drivers took a picture of the deliveries, but that's not where I live. I called customer service and got a refund for the headphones only...

I called to schedule my delivery of my dishwasher, refrigerator, stove and the small kits to install them. When I called I asked for a 4pm appointment. They said they will try. They also said they will call one hour before showing up. I was not convinced of this appointment. I did not trust this woman. So I called back. Now they tell me they will try to get...

Best Buy Sandisk clip jam

SanDisk clip Jam is less than 9 months old, out of nowhere it started shutting off and refreshing your media after 20 seconds of play. No new music was added, no firmware installed.

The SanDisk I bought right before this one had the electrical connection come off from a bad solder job, that one was bought about a year ago and happened only about a month after I got it.

Best Buy wouldn't even help me or acknowledge the problem. The automated phone system wouldn't even let me talk to somebody for the problem. Both problems yield pages of search results on the internet so this is not some novel defect. It is a known common defect they don't tell you about or help you with.

Desired outcome: Fix glitches/defective designs and builds or carry new non defective mp3 players. Also be honest and responsive about common defects and tell customer about problem and if there is a fix.

Best Buy Re: Order # BBY01-[protected]

I purchased this Upright Freezer model# FFUE2024AW on 8/29/23. When I purchased this Freezer, it wasn't backordered. I was scheduled for delivery on 9/16/23. Then, I get an e-mail from BB asking me to reschedule for 9/18/23. BB confirms the delivery. Then on the 16 Sep. I get a call from the BB customer advocate telling me I am not going to get my Freezer till 10/27/23. They don't have it. So, who is lying here. Either this freezer was backordered, or my freezer went to someone else. Meanwhile, I have almost half the freezer paid off, and I don't even have possession of the freezer. Why am I being billed and paying on a freezer I don't have possession of. One can bet i will be calling Citibank on 9/18/2023. As fast as anyone can bat an eye, I will be closing my Citibank BB VISA-Account

Desired outcome: I want my freezer before OCT. 27th.

Best Buy Samsung refrigerator repaired 15 times!

I had a 5 yr extended warranty on my kitchen appliances. Your Geek Squad repairmen have been to my home a total of 15 times for the same issue, which today still remains unresolved. Now, my refrigerator is still NOT working properly & I last paid over $125 in December for a service call & the refrigerator is still no keeping cold. Since the freezer works fine, they told me it is not the compressor, which now is the only part remaining under warranty. The NYS dept of Consumer Affairs told me that if your company fails to correct the same problem after 3 service calls, I am entitled to replacement coverage or reimbursement towards a new refrigerator. However, after 15 service calls, the problem still persists. Please let me know what you can do to avoid this matter being reported to the Nassau County Dept of Consumer Affairs.

Desired outcome: Product replacement or reimbursement.

Best Buy online issue

If you buy their warranty it only works…

If you buy their warranty it only works providing you can do everything on line. If you need to talk to a human being it's impossible. I have a sound issue. I applied on line and they installed a new sound board on my Sony TV. However, that didn't fix the problem. I needed to schedule a visit to find out where the problem is...not looking for warranty...Just want to get the sound working properly. I finally gave up because all I wanted to do was talk to a human being...impossible

spoke to BestBuy Corporate Complaint People

and got it resolved...

My wife and I purchased a washer/dryer pair about 6 months ago, along with a treadmill. We also purchased the warranty on all items. Last month, the treadmill stopped turning on. We have contacted Best Buy multiple times and are told our issue is not covered, even though nobody has even bothered to come take a look at it. Extremely disappointed, to say the...

Purchase date was 9/1/2023, and the 'supposed' delivery date was 9/5. Why do I use quotes on "supposed"? Because it was delivered to the wrong apartment! After discovering this, and checking neighboring units to no luck, I do what anyone else would do and contact Best Buy support (via their chat system). I am connected with chat agent Ariel, who collect...

Dear Best Buy, We bought last August 5, when we were on vacation in Florida. Best Buy did ship our order 1x Sonance Mag6.1 to our freight forward address in Miami. Our package was sent to Curacao and today we received the package. When we picked up the package, we checked if the package was open, and it was not open. When we came home, we opened the...

Buying the Thermadore oven was easy then, contrary to the promise that it was available, we've waited 5 months. We paid in full in advance for the product as well as installation and haul away of the old unit. The unit was delivered about 10 days ago and even with a pre-install inspection assuring all was ready to go, the installer did not have the required...

Best Buy Purchase of camera and air conditioner in 2021

I purchased a camera, lenses and air conditioner in May 2021 for approximately $4,363 with 0% interest if paid off in 18 months. I began paying $100-$200/month totaling approximately $3000 to date. Best Buy convinced me it would be a good idea to go paperless so I never received monthly statements. Apparently I should have been checking them regularly because when the 18 months at 0% interest deal was over (I had assumed I would have gotten a communication like they do whenever late) I now owed $3900. In two years I’ve only paid $463 towards my items. What a rip off company.

Desired outcome: I’ve been an excellent customer and have been diligently trying to pay for my items so I would like to pay them off without the back interest just like if would of if they’d only communicated that to me.

Best Buy Enel x way juice box 40

I purchased this car charger in April of this year from Best buy online. The charger stopped working 8/30/23. Contacted Best buy and was told it was past their return date, but there was a three year factory warranty. Called Enel X Way and was hung up on. Called again and was put through a two hour troubleshooting, with no resolution and then hung up on. Emailed Enel X Way and went through a three day 60 email process that ended up with a exchange process requiring $200 deposit before exchange can proceed. So now I'm into this car charger for a total of $800 and have no working charger for my EV. I have been frustrated and stressed through this entire process. Enel X Way's custom service is bad! This company should not be sold by Best buy. Best buy should deal directly with their customers for Enel X Way with future returns or exchanges. Not putting the burden on the Best buy customer.

Desired outcome: Honor a $600 return or exchange for other car charger. I do not have confidence in future dealing from Enel X Way AT ALL.
