I have been a long time customer of this location as I am a cardholder and a loyal customer of Best Buy for many years. I purchased a Samsung television on Saturday, April 6. I brought the television home and attempted to set it up when I realized it would not turn on. I was unable to bring it back to the store until Tuesday, April 9 because I needed to wait for my wife to be off to assist me in bringing the TV back to the Secaucus Best Buy, where I wanted to simply exchange it. Upon arriving to the store I went to customer service and explained the situation where I was told I would be able to exchange it. During the process of exchange, I was greeted by Christian Aviles, who portrayed himself as the general manager of the store. Christian told me that he would not accept my exchange as he stated the TV had "looked like" it was damaged. I then asked Christian what he meant by "looked like". Christian said he noticed damage on the TV and he would not accept my exchange. I proceeded to tell Christian that the policy of Best Buy allows me to exchange an item and that I did not break the TV and that it was damaged upon my purchase. Christian disagreed with me. I asked if he was the only store manager of the Secaucus location Christian answered yes. I then asked Christian who his supervisor was so I could bring this issue and matter to their attention. Christian refused to provide me any supervisor above him and noted I can only call the customer service number at 1888 Best Buy. I asked Christian again to provide me with his district or regional supervisor because I was not happy with the service I was provided and he again refused, I then went outside to my vehicle where my wife was seated inside and I called the customer service number that Christian provided me. Why line the phone with the customer service number Christian had two of his employees bring the TV out to my car. The employees then asked me what to do with the TV and I told them that I am attempting to exchange the TV and I don't want the TV back because it is broken. The employees left the TV in front of my car and mockingly told me "have a nice day' I was so embarrassed, because I was made to feel like a fool by the employees, and they were mocking me, and I asked the one employee for his name who he told me his name was Richie, but did not provide his last name and he was the swap manager. I have photos of where they left the TV if you need me to provide them. Customer service then told me that Best Buy policy is I can return or exchange the TV as long as it is within the timeframe. They told me unfortunately they could not help me, and that the store was the only one that could assist me in this matter. I proceeded to tell them that I was treated so poorly in the store and treated like a criminal and I felt embarrassed because the way they made me feel around other customers it was it was a very displeasing and upsetting experience. I then went back into the store and asked Christian one more time to please assist me in this matter as I just want an exchange and I've been a long time customer and I've been a loyal customer to Best Buy and specifically to that location and I simply just wanted an exchange because I wanted the TV and I wanted one that was not dysfunctional. Christian advised that he still would not accept my exchange or return, and he was very rude and very unpleasant to me, and made me feel like I was a nobody. This was such an upsetting and disturbing experience that I thought about it the entire day, and it made me upset the entire day to be treated like that especially when I've been such a good customer and I loved shopping at that Best Buy location. I am also upset to later found out that Christian lied to me because I was then informed that there is another manager above Christian or on the same level as him by the name of Brian. Christian did not provide me that information and he did not provide me information for any other supervisor above him. When I first entered the store and explained my situation to the customer service representative, I was told that the exchange would go on without a problem and that I would be able to walk out with a new and functional TV which was my original plan when I originally purchased the TV on Saturday, April 6. All of a sudden, I don't know where the change occurred that they decided that I was no longer eligible for the exchange based off of their theory that the TV was damaged on my part. Christian even went as far to say that there was no dent on the box of the TV. He did not feel as if the TV was damaged prior to it being brought home by me on April 6. I then told Christian that the TV could've been damaged at any point prior to me bringing it home and that all I knew was that when I plugged it in, it did not work. read more
