Best Buy has the absolute worst customer service. My advice? Never shop there!
I wish I could give a minus 5. Our experience with Best Buy has been an absolute nightmare, and it just keeps getting worse. After spending over $15k on new appliances and a 98" TV for our home, we anticipated a smooth process. Initially, the buying experience was fine on November 29, 2024. However, when we had to postpone the installation due to unexpected renovations, Best Buy was accommodating in rescheduling.
But everything fell apart when the installation team arrived. They were unprofessional and reckless. The two installers dropped our brand-new 98" TV, leaving it shattered. Instead of taking responsibility, they were disrespectful, talking back to us and distractedly playing games on their phones while attempting to install the TV. They left the broken TV in our living room and claimed they had communicated with Best Buy for a replacement.
To make matters worse, they couldn't install the sound bar because it was still on back order since November 25. By early March, we were still waiting for resolution. Feeling unsafe in our own home with these workers, we reached out to management to express our concerns. Sara, the manager, apologized and promised us an $800 credit for our troubles. We were relieved, but that relief quickly turned to frustration when the credit never materialized.
Days later, we received a call about scheduling a pickup and installation for the new TV. When we asked which company would be handling the installation, they said it would be the same incompetent team from Mastec. This was the last straw for us, and we decided to cancel our order, including the Sonos sound bar.
We were left with the mounting bar, the only item that had been delivered in December. When I tried to return it on April 1st, they told me it was too late. After much back and forth, they reluctantly agreed to give me a credit. Feeling that this was unacceptable, I asked to speak with the manager, Wesley. His response was shocking. He told me I was lucky to receive a credit for the unopened box. Despite being aware of the entire ordeal through his assistant Craig, who had communicated with us about our difficulties, Wesley's attitude was dismissive. His final words were, "You take it or nothing. I really don't care."
I was left baffled by such a callous response from a manager. Best Buy's customer service is the worst I've ever encountered, and it's clear they don't care about their customers. My advice? Never, ever shop at Best Buy! read more
