    purposely delaying responses until they can't issue refund
    Ant T.

    tl;dr: Bought a damaged TV, they offered replacement, never sent it, offered partial refund, never issued it. Bought 2nd TV with dented screen, received a replacement 1 month later with more damage, neither came with remotes, and wasted 60 days getting refund. I strongly feel like they sell legitimate TVs in-person and purposely ship defects to online orders so they can submit insurance claims, but this is just an assumption. They're very kind and sound genuine on the phone but dodge emails like crazy, even costing me $233 due to their delays. I should've left a review after the first purchase so they would act responsibly for my second purchase but I was too naive. I'm writing now because it's bothered me for the last 2-3 years and others should know what to expect before purchasing. First purchase, March 2021, 65" sony x950H, $1100 (which dropped to $600 the following year). It was supposedly an open box recertified item. I called to make sure they were in good working condition and was reassured all their TVs are inspected before shipping and they "rarely" have issues (which I find IMPOSSIBLE based on my experience). The sales guy sounded genuine so I believed him and pulled the trigger on a large purchase. I'm not sure what time frame was quoted but I waited weeks for delivery. Immediately I noticed dozens of "dead pixels" which they said were just dust particles that shifted during delivery. They offered a replacement and went silent for 2 months. I reached back out in June to take them up on their alternate offer of a $233 partial refund because I was tired of waiting. They didn't respond for 2 MONTHS (August 16th) even though I emailed them 4 times. They finally said they would issue the refund but then said they couldn't since the transaction was over 90 days old (due to THEIR delays) and that I should dispute the charge with MY credit card company to get the partial refund. This was a sham, my credit card company (Chase) said there's no such thing as disputing partial charges. They have no way to only backcharge 20%. They also said the seller should be able to issue refunds anytime regardless, not within 90 days. By the time I got to the bottom of this I was busy with a home purchase/moving out of my apartment so I could not deal with this TV issue until after my move (yes this dragged on through most of my lease). After moving I needed another TV for the house and saw they had some good deals so I tried to get the $233 partial refund as a credit towards a new TV. I emailed twice and was ignored but needed to order a TV asap so I moved forward anyway. Since their last reason was the transaction was over 90 days, they would have no valid reason now since I would have a fresh transaction from my new purchase. March 2022, TV #2 was even worse the first. It had a huge dent on the screen but no major damage on the box. The TV was packaged in original foam padding so it seems unlikely the drivers dented it. The TV remote was also missing. They specifically state you need to open the box with the driver there so he can record official damages. The driver was very confused. He said they never stick around for damage checks but was willing to do so. He had no official process of recording damages so he wrote it on my shipment form. The company was quick to offer a replacement but it took a month and over 4 emails to even get the tracking info. They also said they would make sure to include a remote this time. TV #3 arrived even more damaged with a frame gap and frame pinching and still no remote. At this point I was 45 days into the transaction and was ready for a refund. I spoke to someone on the phone to arrange pickup and asked them about my refund from TV #1. He said I'd have to ask via email as the phone and email people are different teams... jfc. I ask via email multiple times. They'd respond to other questions but ignore anything relating to my owed refund. TV #2/3 refunded on day 60, no refund from TV #1. That same day I bought the same TV for the same price from Secondipity, arrived with NO delivery damage. Ordered a 75" sony from walmart for my dad and NO delivery damage. My friend ordered a 75" sony from costco with NO delivery damage. Bad luck or shady practice? idk.

    Horrible communication and customer service

    Don't purchase from here, these people should be shut down! Please go to best buy or somewhere else. I found a listing for a New Sony A80j 77in for 1,200 from this company, so I reached out via Facebook marketplace and they sent over the information for their business. I chose this TV because I purchased 2 of these for my old apartment prior to moving to Los Angeles. On 12/23/24 I drove 48 minutes to the place to purchase the tv. They had other models of tvs in their showroom but not the model I was purchasing. I bought the tv and they requested that I pay via Zelle, so I did that. I was given a receipt and they also gave me free shipping, which they said was a promotion that ended tomorrow. The delivery was set for 12/24/24 between 4-7. The Tv arrived around 5:30 on 12/24/24. I was pretty happy at this point because I was trying to have a tv for my family to watch while they're in town for the holidays. I setup my tv stand, then called a friend over to help me setup the tv because you need 2 people to lift this tv. We set it down, plugged it in, pushed power on and nothing happened. My excitement quickly turned to confusion. I was already a little confused because 1st the box said A80L and had stickers covering up the model and the tv was advertised as new but not only did I not have any plastic to peel off but I noticed minor scratches and the back of the casing had a huge bulge in the back. The tv light flashed red 5 times and I googled what that meant, It said that means circuit malfunction. So I immediately called and messaged on Facebook but didn't get a response. The day after Christmas I followed back up and told them what happened. Their initial response was," It should be working I checked it before it left our shop." I thought why do you even need to check a brand new tv? They then offered to replace it with another model tv but all of the options were mini led and not oled 77 or higher. Afterwards he said a replacement can come from Texas. I said, "I have family in town and we need a working tv now, I need a refund I can't wait that long" He then told me how they don't issue refunds, and that's why they have warranty. Magically another tv appeared in stock and could be delivered the next day. I get a message the next day saying it can't be delivered because of rain and they only have a flat bed truck. So then he said he just rescheduled for tomorrow. I asked if they have a tarp or anything, he said he doesn't want to risk me having another broken tv. Then said, "I waited this long already." I felt as if that comment was very inconsiderate. I said, I'll rent a box truck and just come there. He then said our warehouse is in Valencia and nobody is there. I said can someone go there now then? He said our delivery driver is gone for the day but I'll call him. I'm a very observant person, and it was 11am, and the delivery window is 4-7. I didn't get a call back after 2 hours and had to call him. He lied and said he called and left a voicemail. I informed him that denying me a refund for a defective product is illegal. They didn't mention anything about their "all sales are final" policy until It was printed on my receipt for the transaction. This company has clear deceptive sales tactics. I'm trying to resolve the issue with this company directly but I believe I may have to get my lawyer involved. My replacement is currently scheduled for tomorrow. Hopefully I have a new and working tv tomorrow, but after our last interactions I feel as if this has been the worst customer experience I've ever had. I purchase thousands of dollars worth of tech, review gear, and work directly with major companies. I've honestly never had an experience this bad before. I wish I would've went with my first mind and purchased the latest model instead of the 2022 model I previously owned. Please don't shop here!

    Don't do it! You will regret it. Poor customer service even if you can get them on the phone. Defective TV. Going to dispute the charge and contact the better business bureau.

    Be really really careful before purchasing anything from here. I bought a TV on Satturday night and canceled the order immediately because I didn't see it's open box. The seller confirmed the cancellation on Monday and emailed me they would refund fully. However, they charge me 10% cancellation fee and told me I agreed to their terms when I bought. But who will see the long and small terms words by words? Besides, in their terms, all TV maybe refurbished. However, it does not display on the purchase page. Instead, it display only in their terms. Coveting small bargains is my lesson, hope you don't be deceived.

    Definitely not a scam!! Got a new Sony TV for little to nothing and it looks and works beautifully. Lovely staff as well, Bree and Roman really made me feel welcome. The candy bowl full of fruit snacks by the check out counter was a nice touch as well! Highly recommended if you don't want to over pay at Best Buy for a new Tv!

    HDTV Spot Review I spend a long time to find perfect OLED TV for my living room and after a while I find this website HDTV SPOT online. Price for my dream TV (Sony A9G OLED TV) was pretty good $3000 - condition new but "open box" (Best Buy price was $3,500 for brand new TV). I was happy and called HDTV immediately, they told me that TV is working perfect, 100% functional, and has no manufacturer defects (it was sales guy who's name K). But this model was available only for pre-order and waiting time 5-7 days. I've dropped deposit on next day and my TV was delivered in 15 day. They charged me additional $100 for delivery. On next day of using my new SONY I started to notice some vertical stripes on the screen. It was visible on grey, green and blue colors (see photos bellow). This TV had the defect that calls "Vertical banding", and it can't be fixed. I've contacted HDTV spot and sent them a couple photos of picture and they promised me to replace TV as soon they get same TV on stock. It's been lasting almost for 10 month! already to get replacement TV or my money back. Every time when I call them they asking to wait couple weeks but nothing happening for 10 month!!! They can't replace the defective product and refuse to refund me. Definitley not recommend this company, they are just scammers! Daniel

    Buy at your own risk.

    I bought a Visio Tv from them it seems to a very good Tv. But now all they sell are Sony Tv sets. Kind of a bummer.

    What ever your needs, electronically and more, it's at Best Buy. The employees have been great,…read moreattentive, knowledgeable and accommodating!!! So glad I can just get in my car, drive to Best Buy, get what I need, have it shipped for free if it's not in-store and go back for all tech support.

    Manager named Jonathan declined my return because I had "returned too many items in the past". He…read moresaid my account was flagged and that they wouldn't accept anymore returns. I called Best Buy corporate and also messaged them via text chat and both confirmed they don't enforce such policy and that there is no hold or flag on my account. Clearly Jonathan was lying about my account being flagged or having too many returns. If I were to guess, they probably don't want the return affecting their sales numbers. The whole thing was just odd from the start.(I have worked at geek squad in the past) The checkout usually checks the returns in front of the customer but in this situation they took across the other side of the store and had me waiting for a while. I didn't think anything of it because they said they needed to check the item and print the return receipt for me. That's when they returned with the item and said my account was flagged. Jonathan then mentioned that I could try shipping it, in order to return it but that it would not be guaranteed a refund. It was unprofessional and bizarre. I would avoid going to this store for any needs because they make it very difficult for you to return an item.
