We purchased a GE Profile gas cooktop from Best Buy on October 14, 2024. We paid $2700.00 for the product, delivery and installation. The stove top was delivered to our home by RNW Logistics, a third party contractor working for Best Buy. The old stove top we were replacing required totally different parts for connection than did the new one. The RNW crew failed to identify the change needed thus did not come prepared to make the installation. One of the issues was that the downdraft vent in the old cook top required parts to connect a four inch vent hose to a four inch vent opening. RNW brought a six inch hose without any parts to connect the hose to the downdraft vent, and did not bring a step down to connect the six inch hose to the four inch vent opening. The lead man on the team stopped the work saying that because they did not have the necessary parts, he was going to have to make adaptons to complete the install and that I would have to pay them $160.00 in addition to the $270.00 we paid Best Buy for the install. The option was for us not to pay and be without a cook top until the issue could be resolved with Best Buy. How long I asked, and of course he did not know and all of a sudden he did not speak very good English. So we paid. The installation continued with the team using some sort of tool to carve on the vent opening trying to enlarge the four inch opening to a six inch opening. That did not go well, so they wadded the hose up and forced it into the vent opening and then secured it with a roll of duct tape. We walked out of the kitchen and poof they were gone, no receipt, nothing for us to sign, just gone leaving us with a mess. We contacted Best Buy, told her the story, showed her the pictures and she assured us that Best Buy was going to stand by us, that this would be made right. She gave us a number to call corporate install, we did and got a case number. They told us we would hear from Best Buy escalation team within twenty four to thirty six hours. It has now been two weeks and thus far we have heard nothing. Best buy has not stood by us, they have ignored us. They hired a transportation company to make the delivery and to install the stove top. We needed that stove top more than normal because it is Thanksgiving, so we had the old mess and all the duct tape ripped out and now have a professinbal install. My counsel to anyone considering making such a purchase from Best Buy is to remember the age old advice; buyer beware. Check who will they be using to make the delivery and or install, and if possible use a credit card so you will have an advocate to speak for you, because you as a customer will have little or no influence with this large, uncaring corporation. And when they say they will stand behind you, realize whag they are truly saying is, once we have your money, you are out there by yourself. they will be so far behind you that you will not be able to see them. read more
