I bought a washer and dryer with free delivery and installation plus haul-away of the 2 old appliances. I made this purchase through my parents rewards account.....over a month and a half ago, and although the actual purchase went quite smoothly - it has since been a patently ridiculous comedy of errors, and the job has still not been completed.
In this month and a half's time, in order for Best Buy to get their hot mess together enough to do this delivery and installation job, I have had to waste 5 full days unable to leave the house for up to 8 hours (2 of those wasted days I had to take as vacation from work), there have been multiple phone calls to the wrong number, nobody could fix that.
At this point there have been 4 completely different sets of strangers in and out of the private areas of my home, all who for various reasons have been unable to complete the job. There would be a total of 5 sets of complete strangers if I let them come back to finish.
I had nothing personal against any of these delivery persons, nobody made me feel uncomfortable, they were all polite and acted professionally - but COME ON!!! One pair of matching appliances, purchased together at the same time on the same order, sold locally, both confirmed to be in stock. Sounds like a great deal!
I will spare you the line-by-line details at this time, but I'm writing this review here after botched delivery attempt #4. Best Buy forgot to inform the drivers that they were doing an install, even though they brought me the hookups I purchased...and they claimed the Best Buy scheduled them so tight that since they forgot to put an installation on this 3rd attempt at re-delivery - they had no time to hook my dryer vent up. They probably could have hooked it up in the time it took them to explain to me how they had no time to do it, but whatever. I'm throwing my hands up and doing it myself at this point - it's not like you can get a refund on free installation. You get what you pay for. This was one of the biggest time and energy wastes I have ever experienced.
The appliance manager likes to blame all of their problems on the drivers. It's totally not the drivers. It's Best Buy's inability to interface with these drivers, who are mostly subcontractors during the holiday rush.
Wish me luck, I'm about to go hook up a dryer vent. I literally can't wait for them any longer. What do they care, they have my money. The vacation time they made me waste could have paid for the dryer in full. read more
