Did a curbside pick up and they never came after waiting for about 20 minutes I had to go in there myself and let them know I had a order for pick up and they weren't even busy just a lot of workers doing nothing read more

I brought in a new laptop in need of having everything transferred from the old one on Wednesday. Was told they needed two to three days to perform the transfer. Scheduled a pickup at 2:20 the following Sunday. Upon arrival I was told the transfer wasn't finished. No phone call, no text, no email to let me know it would be delayed. Was told they needed a few more hours. I said fine, let's schedule a pickup tomorrow. Oh they couldn't do that because they were booked out a few days. Really?? What an awful business. I took my laptops and will seek help elsewhere. Will never consider them for future needs, and I would warn everyone one else from doing the same. read more

I paid $189 for one year of Geek Squad service. Needed help with my desktop computer. I made an appointment. I received an email confirming my appointment. and also a message that this would be a 20 minute appointment. I knew I would need a longer appointment. If they don't solve my problems within a 20 minute appointment, I was told I would have to make multiple appointments. to fix my computer. That would mean I would have to lug my computer, cords and yes, even my printer for each appointment. It sure would make sense to let me have a 40 minute appointment and get my computer fixed in one visit, but they only do 20 minute appointments. I am so sorry that I wasted my money by signing up for Geek Squad service. read more

I've been trying to get Geek Squad Service to assist with technical problem with Sony TV & Sonos soundbar. All I get is robot questions & then told I have to contact the manufacturer. Geek Squad installed the TV 4 months ago - why should I have to contact the manufacturer. Terribly disgusting customer service. Tried calling my local best buy & was told by robot the same thing. No Best Buy in the future!!! read more

Best Buy - Maplewood - Electronics Near Me - Maplewood, Minnesota

Best Buy is a horrible company. And I would never recommend nobody ever buying anything from them again. They're, they're nothing but scammers. I ordered A LG throwback laser projector back in early November. I never got the package because The delivery driver just left it at my doorstep. When they had direct orders to have a signature. Well, to make a loan story short. I did about 2 claims with U. P. S and best buy and both claims u p s is a mitting fault So insane that they are willing to refund me back my money. But in order for them to do that, it has to go through Best Buy. UPS has been trying to correspond with Best Buy for the last. 3 months about this matter Best Buy just denies my return. On their side when they're not even the ones giving me the refund. UPS is going to provide the full refund. All they need best buy employees to do is to fill out the form that u p s sent them several times already. And when I call Best Buy customer service. All they tell me is that I need to follow-up with my local law enforcement which I. Already did so then I asked the employee at best. Bye. What's my next step? Hey, tell me that they don't know when that step I should take. Now, is that customer service nowadays? Where's this tag customer? I don't know good luck . I get this how best buy tries there customers read more

See all

The help is less than desired. When checking out nothing but attitude. I was glad I left it was the best part of my trip. The staff that I did see were from what it appears they are being forced labor at gun point. Or they are just assholes who should not work in customer service..................... I would not spend a penny on their penny candies incase it would make them profit. I had planned on dropping some money on my payday but you can kiss that money goodbye and sales repairs and anything else that would help this store. To bad it used to be a decent store what a shame. read more

My mother is 82. She made 8 round trips to this store. Over a hour each way. All over problems between BB her BB credit card and synchrony bank. The final took ownership and issued her a $300 gift card. Problem is its no good...she has the receipt for the gift card but misplaced it (I don't think the store ever gave her one) ..the store refuses to honor it and said she would have to take it up with customer retention...what a f...ing joke...store manage was a jerk. Way to take advantage of the elderly!!!! read more

AGAIN, as I just went there about 10 minutes ago, their Covid procedures, are not in direct line with their signage. And again, they did not have anything stocked like their website sad. I absolutely HATE BEST BUY, Especially dislocation, avoided at all costs!! read more

I took my laptop in for servicing. During the visit, I bought a hard drive to back up my information. They were supposed to back up my information and ship it to the "servicing center". I received my laptop back but the hard drive was missing, this is a $100 hard drive! tried to contact someone online, I was transferred 5 times and finally I asked for a supervisor. Even then the supervisor couldn't help. I called the store and was on hold for 20 minutes before ANYONE even came on the line. Then I was transferred again, and when someone came on the line, they verified my info and placed me on hold for 45 minutes. But get this, you can hear the rep come back every so often. Then all of a sudden a automatic voice comes on again and hangs up on me! I don't see why it's my responsibility to go to the store to get my hard drive if they failed to send it! I'm still on hold for 20 minutes now trying to get through to the store! WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!!! read more

I was racially profiled and discriminated at the Maplewood, MN store on 5/12/23. The store also will mark your account in a way that lets them track you. I went to purchase a Microsoft Surface laptop/tablet at my local BestBuy (BB) in Maplewood, MN. I believe they racially profieid and discriminated me based on my looks and clothing. I also believe that BB store and BB have a way to track or hide personal info to "track" people without their consent. Here is a list of events: - I went to the laptop section of the store and looked around - A tall man (BB1) approached me and answered a few questions. - I found the item I was looking for based on the digital sales tag listed next to the item - I was told that the item I was looking for wasn't present on display. - I was showed me a newer model, more expensive on the other side/end of the display stating that the table is more comparable to a different model. - I do not recall the person wearing the same blue shirt as the rest of the BB staff as he may of been wearing a sweater over it. -I walked towards the Meta VR setup and a different BB employee (BB2) apporached me. After some small talk we headed towards the cash register at the PC section to pay for the item. - BB2 asked for my ID because "it'll be easier". BB2 kept entering the wrong "city" name because it "auto fills as Saint Paul". My Driver's License states I live in Maplewood. - BB2 entered the wrong email address. The email address he assigned was "middlename****@gmail.com". My middle name is ****but I never mentioned the name or said it out loud - I requested a bag and BB2 took 2 seconds to look for one. He didn't find one and told me to go to the register for one - I walked to the register and there were only people at the customer service desk for online pickups - A third BB employee (BB3) gave me a bag, but i asked if BB had digital receipts on my account. He said yes, I said to double check, and then BB3 checked. - BB3 said there's something not right with my account and "fixed" it. I then got a copy of my receipt through my email address I provided. - My paper receipt shows a purchase timestamp of 05/12/23 at 19:40. The email itself was sent at 7:43PM, moments after BB3 "fixed" my account. read more

I went in yesterday to buy a network switch and a few other computer related things- a gentleman named Stacey helped. So polite, answered all my questions, and was very personable. The entry staff was also helpful and tried to point me in the right direction to find what I wanted. The store seemed clean and organized- not sure why all the bad reviews but I definitely felt good going into this store and left with a smile on my face. read more

I can never get ahold of ANY department, by phone and this includes asking for management. This time I wanted to check their stock before making the trip in. I called yesterday and today, morning and afternoon. NOTHING! GOING TO CHECK ANOTHER COMPANY. read more

On 11/2/2019 I bought a brand new washer and dryer stackable unit. This costed me nearly $1800.00. On 11/7/2019 the new unit was delivered - IT"S BROKEN. The dryer doesn't even work. There's a loud banging. Sounds like a shot gun when it's being ran. I called the best buy 1-800-304-1259 to tell them my unit is broken and that is not functioning properly. Best buy refuses to send me a new unit or even replace the current one!!! Needless to say - I will be seeking legal action, and not paying for this TRASH! - I DEMAND this to be handled asap and professionally!!! Kimber Whitman read more

These people have openly lied to me about delivery dates--three times. I will never do business with them again.

TERRIBLE customer service! After listening to their automated phone attendant for 2 cycles I spent another 10 minutes on hold for the Maplewood Geek squad. Simply trying to get an appointment. No answer at 6:00 PM? I've tried to support our local brick & mortar stores over on line shopping, but why? They are more expensive and give awful customer service. They'll soon be joining Sears on the scrap heap of retail has-beens. This is the last of several bad customer service experiences with Best Buy - I'm done with them! read more

I've been to this store a couple times over the past year. The service was poor both times. When I was at this store a couple weeks ago, I had to track down someone to help me. The person didn't know where the item was located and went to get help. After 10 minutes had gone by, help never arrived. I had to flag down another person who was able to help. This kind of service keeps driving me to on-line purchasing. read more

Best Buy employee tries to sign me up for a membership. I said no thanks. He refuse to recycle my ink cartridges without me signing up. I told him I was able to do it here before. Few insulting words were passed between us. As he walks away he says pretty loud, GOOD NIGHT SWEET PRINCE. Making me sound like I was the snob, when he was. read more

I have a disability preventing me from wearing a mask. They wouldn't let me enter without one and laughed at me as I walked out. I instead spent my $350 at GameStop who was very helpful and polite. read more

I am willing to give up $ 1073.74 but I am very disappointed with your service with the reason that I have returned the item to you but I do not get my money back you lost a customer and I will tell my friends and the people around me never to buy bestbuy again because you won't get any money when you return the item you don't like. read more

Never a good experience with this store: horrible parking, limited selection, etc. Most recently, I was denied using a $50-off coupon, stating an in-house email changed the fine print on it. Even after arguing with management that I was there the first day the coupon was valid, and my purchase met all qualifications on the coupon, the still refused to honor it. I've always tried to support Best Buy, but no longer. No wonder they're going out of business! read more

I attempted to purchase a phone. I went into the store and went directly to the phone area where I saw 3 sales persons talking with a few people. I waited. After about 7 minutes, when there were now 4 sales persons talking with the same people, I realized they were all chatting-apparently friends. About 5 minutes passed when finally one of the "customers" pointed to me and a service person came over. When I told her I have been waiting for more than 10 minutes she responded with a cheery smile saying, "Well I'm here now." I told the clerk I was leaving and with an equally cheery voice said, "OK!" Have you ever tried to write a review or talk with the store manager? I did, try that is. Good luck. I will not return. I went to Verizon and got terrific service and bought my phone. Best Buy, you could learn a few things about customer service from Verizon. read more

Totally messed up my switching to a new Verizon plan while updating my daughters phone! The bottom line is they didn't switch my plan and I got screwed. Be careful and check everything read more

My iPhone battery was dying. Apple referred me to the Geek Squad at Maplewood. The Geek Squad agreed to replace the battery for $24.99 plus tax. When the battery replacement was complete, the fingerprint reader was not functional. After further examination, the Geek Squad told me they had accidentally torn a small cable connecting the fingerprint reader. Don't worry, the representative told me, we'll give you a brand-new display. An hour later the representative told me they'd tried to reassemble using a too-large screw and had stripped-out the circuit board, ruining the phone. Don't worry, the representative told me, we'll replace it with a new phone from Apple. Several days later, I learned from the Geek Squad that it would be a reconditioned iPhone, not a new one. I declined this offer and now will be forced to sue the Geek Squad for the cost of a replacement phone. read more

Go here all the time using the store pick up option. Always in and out quickly with my stuff I bought online.

My interaction w/Best Buy on Facebook: I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Getting big ticket items from Best Buy is the VERY WORST SHOPPING EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD. And I'm 67. YOU SUCK. I spent 3 grand in your Maplewood MN store in December and as of yet I have nothing that I paid for. No working washer and dryer, and no refrigerator. Why? Because almost everyone I have dealt with on the phone and a few in person have done nothing but lie to me. Not only will I never buy anything from you that I can get elsewhere, I will make sure that everyone I know, knows just exactly how absolutely horrible buying appliances from your stores is. Best Buy Hello Scott, Oh no! I am so sorry to hear that our location in Maplewood hasn't done a good job so far of helping you out with your order. Getting new appliances is supposed to be a fun and enjoyable experience and I apologize this time has not been. What is the current status of your order? You had mentioned some of the items are not working, are they able to get those repaired or replaced? I'd be happy to help as much as I can here on Facebook for you. Thanks, ^Cameron Scott Gilbert Look, if you ever have to close stores, may I recommend that one be the first to go? Current status of my ORDERS is limbo. I got a washer and dryer delivered on 12/10 and they weren't hooked up until 12/30, after I was promised 3 times that someone would come out. They made it on the 4th try. I did laundry on 12/31 and discovered the brand new washer was defective. I was expecting a refrigerator today, but because the deliver driver told me that he would be there in 20 minutes, I wasn't able to clear the path due to another delivery (NOT from best buy) that actually arrived TWO DAYS EARLY. It took him more than 45 minutes to arrive, which, had he told me 45 minutes, I would have had his path clear. I told him to go grab a bite to eat and by the time he was done, he'd be clear. He said that he would do exactly that. 15 minutes later I got a call from someone saying that I'm not getting the refrigerator today, and "we'll have to get back to you with a new date." Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for someone "to get back to me" about my washer. Like · Reply · 4 mins Manage Scott Gilbert Scott Gilbert So, I've come up with a solution. I'm calling my credit card company and doing a charge-back on everything. So now, instead of YOU fucking me over and over and over and over and over, if you want your money, you'll DO WHAT WAS PROMISED. Best Buy: Scott, Thanks for explaining that to me. I am sorry to hear about the issues and troubles that you have gone through trying to get these appliances delivered to you. I know getting new appliances is supposed to be a fun and exciting time and I apologize that we have not assured this experience for you. On this matter, have you been able to speak to any member of leadership at the location these are being delivered out of? A manager may be able to offer some kind of resolution for you on this as they would be the ones best equipped to handle it. Thanks for taking the time to share with us today your experience and feedback. ^Cameron Scott Gilbert: Oh please, give me a break. Do you think I just sat here and waited for the appliance fairy to fix things? Remember how I said that I had been repeatedly lied to? Who do you think lied to me? Best Buy: Scott, We would love to try and assist you with this the best we can. In order for us to do so, I believe we would need to take a look into this for you and see what we can come up with. Can you send us your order number, phone number, full name and description of what is going on to our email address, Facebook@BestBuy.com? One of our specialists would be more than happy to take a gander at this for you and see how we can help. We would love the opportunity to help you out. ^Cameron Scott Gilbert: No. This is useless. I've gone this route before. I HAVE GONE EVERY ROUTE and yet, I spent more than 3 grand in the last month and STILL HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT. End of Facebook interaction with Best Buy. In short, Best Buy has blown so much smoke up my butt so often, my poops smell like a campfire. read more

This store sucks. Went to get my phone checked out because whenever I use my phone it drops 20% in 30 seconds. I have to make this review fast because before I know it my phone will be dead. The person at the "geek squad" helped with diddely squat and told me that my phone is just fine. After she offered zero assistance I went to see what kind of products they had and everything was overpriced. Terrible store with terrible service. I'd say more but my phone is at 1%. Spit on Best Buy! read more

I always go here hoping to purchase something, but they never have anything in stock! I've been here a few times in the last couple years to purchase either laptops or desktops. All of the times they were out of stock. They then try getting you to order it through their store. I honestly don't even know how they're still open. Good stores keep good inventory. read more

After rescheduling my delivery appointment, 9 minutes into my scheduled 12 to 6 delivery window, someone called to say that they were too busy to deliver my appliances. This is absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable. We're currently on hold to speak to a customer service representative on two phones. One to discuss this and one to cancel our month old order. read more

Screw this store they sell you the extra warranty then when the product breaks after 6 months, they basically told me oh well. I will never shop there again. read more

Usually when I see as many bad reviews as I see for this store, I just don't bother posting one because I figure "why bother, all these people must've got their voices heard by now". Apparently not, however. This store continues to be every bit as bad and worse as everyone on this forum says it is. Rather than just describe the experiences I've had at this store and repeating what has been said on so many of these other bad reviews, suffice it to say that whichever one of these bad reviews you read, its either also happened to me or it doesn't surprise me in the least! read more

I just stopped into the Maplewood Best Buy to find a pair of headphones. I looked them up online so I already knew which ones I wanted. After taking a couple minutes to actually find where the headphones are located I stood around in the headphone area for 10 minutes without anyone asking me if I needed help. Finally someone at asked me if I needed help and radioed someone to come and help me. I stood for another five minutes at least without anybody coming to help me. In that time I pulled up the Best Buy app and ordered the headphones I was looking for for in-store pick up for the Oakdale store. This is why people shop online. Poor customer service. Wake the fuck up best buy. read more

Best Buy sucks, my son bought a game today and didn't realize someone stole the game out of the case. He went back into the store and they wouldn't do anything about it. From now on I will be opening anything in front of an employee to make sure the item is in the packet. I don't know why I shop at this location. I went there to buy a WiFi extender and this lady was feeding me bullshit, kind of know better since I am in the tech field myself. Never trust anything you buy from this place, make sure the item is wrapped and in the package. Otherwise you will be screwed out of money. read more

Stopped here to pick up a few supplies including Go pro batteries, but there weren't any on the shelf. An employee ( I think his name was Josh) came over to check to see if they had any in stock. They didn't have any at the time. As we were picking up the other stuff he came and found us to let us know the delivery truck had come and had the GoPro batteries we needed. After he helped us get the other stuff we needed and helped us pick out the right sd card and car charger he personally checked us out. He was super helpful! read more

Not too many electronic stores around any more. Was desperate for some computer assistance, so came in during the day to talk with their Geek Squad. Was helped immediately and they did solve my issue in a timely manner. This particular day they had lots of staff assisting customers. The next visit, I wasn't so lucky. Could not find a soul to help me in the printer area. Oh, their parking lot kind of sucks. Only one way out and when it is busy, can take a while to get out. read more

I called this store to ask if they had something in stock; however, I waited a long time for a rude worker to answer. I do not think that worker knows what he is doing. read more

I bought a 32" TV, Microwave, all in one router, and received great service every time... Will be buying more items in the future...

Big improvements since reworking the store layout. Easier to find your products and the staff is much more helpful than before (except in the entertainment media section of the store, you can never find an employee to help). The worst part of this particular location is the parking lot layout. Just terrible. If you're driving, be sure not to run over the pedestrians. read more

I have had mixed experiences with this store, mostly poor to fair. Latest was today. I am recording and wanted to get a couple of 1/4"-to-RCA cables. I check the Best Buy official Maplewood store web site and it lists Sat hours as 9am to 9 pm. I interrupt morning java and drive over to the store at 9:15 am. I walk up to the door and the hours are listed as 10am to 9pm. Thanks for wasting my time A-holes! read more
