Michael agreed that he would call. He did. During the visit, with me on speaker, it was agreed that I'd get a call the next day about pricing for the parts. The next day I received Michael's call declining the repair. His reason : Your mother asked me to also repair the ice maker for the same labor fee. My reply : I heard you agree. Why is this an issue today ? The clear agitation in his voice was not warranted. My question went unanswered. This was intentional and very poor communication ! Thanks for the free diagnostic. Now we can spend our money with a company who deserves it. Hopefully AI will make appliances where your expertise is not needed. Thus, interaction with you for people like me will not be an issue.

Robert arrived on time, and working alone removed my old dryer, got the new one up and running. He was polite and very helpful. I definitely would recommend Antone's.

I spoke to someone named David on Friday afternoon who told me he called Friday morning and I didn't answer the phone so he left a voice message to see if he could have come that morning. I don't fall asleep until 4-5 o'clock and I made Technitran aware when my fridge first broke.

I would give the sales and shopping experience a 5 star review. The sales team there was simply great. Having the online component with Best Buy is really handy for research and then going into the store to finalize things. Pricing was very competitive and best we could find in the area. The install was mostly good. We had some back n forth with one installer and ultimately all the work got done. Just felt like the first installer was being lazy and didn't want to finish the job properly. Of course they outsource the actual install to a local crew and so proper way to enforce things. All in all great, experience and would definitely use them again.

I came into the store looking for a part for my portable washer and dryer, and I was assisted by Seth and Jose in the Plumbing Department. Both of them went above and beyond to help me. They took their time to research the issue, listened carefully to what I needed, and worked with me to find the best possible solution. I never felt rushed, and they were patient, professional, and genuinely kind throughout the entire interaction. Their knowledge, teamwork, and willingness to go the extra mile made a stressful situation much easier for me. It's not every day you receive that level of care and attention, and I truly appreciate the effort they put in. I wanted to make sure their outstanding service is recognized. They are a great representation of your store and of excellent customer care. Thank you for having such dedicated employees. Sincerely, Cj

Sold an "Excellent" open-box TV that was incomplete, then made the problem mine…read more I purchased an open-box Samsung 77" S95F from Best Buy listed in Excellent condition. After getting it home, I discovered it was missing major components, including the longer One Connect cable, screws for the TV stand, and even screws associated with the rear housing of the TV. That is not what most reasonable people would consider "Excellent." This wasn't a small missing accessory. The TV was materially incomplete and not as advertised. What made the experience much worse was what happened next. This is a very large TV, well over 75 pounds, and I had already paid for Uber XL transportation to get it home. I contacted Best Buy expecting a practical solution for a problem caused by their own quality control and open-box inspection process. Instead, I was told over and over to bring it back to the store, return it online, or exchange it if inventory allowed. No real ownership, no meaningful escalation, no pickup solution, and no answer on reimbursement for the cost and burden of transporting a 77-inch TV because Best Buy failed to verify what they were selling. The most frustrating part was that their support team acknowledged that returning a TV this size was unreasonable, but still kept repeating the same canned answer. I asked for escalation, asked for management, asked for a real resolution, and ultimately got nowhere. The chat was effectively ended without the issue being solved. When a store sells an open-box item in "Excellent" condition, the customer should be able to trust that it is complete and properly checked. That didn't happen here. This was a failure in QA, a failure in listing accuracy, and a failure in customer service. I'm leaving this review because this situation should have been handled far better, and because I'd still like someone in management to step in and make this right.

I chatted with a Best Buy agent to confirm whether the Samsung U8000F had the port. He assured me twice that it did, so I ordered it. When the TV arrived, the port was missing. I contacted Best Buy immediately and asked for a pickup. I was told I had to bring it to the store myself, even though the mistake wasn't mine and I don't have the space in my car. After being put on hold, the agent said they could only arrange a pickup if I ordered a replacement TV. I agreed and ordered a Sony. I was also encouraged to apply for a Best Buy credit card for a discount, and I was told the discount would apply to the Sony order. None of that was true--no discount, no pickup scheduled. Another agent told me someone would come in two hours. No one showed up. When I called again, the next agent couldn't find any record of a pickup request. I asked for a return label so I could drop it off at FedEx, and I was told online orders must be returned in-store. At that point, I gave up and returned the TV myself. When the Sony arrived, it was clearly a returned item--messy packaging and shipped from a return center. I returned that one too. Every agent gave me different information, and none of it was accurate. This is not the first time I've had issues with Best Buy. Unfortunately, I can no longer trust their service. I would post no star if I could.
