**DO NOT PURCHASE FROM BEST BUY -- AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, IF YOU VALUE YOUR POSSESSIONS AND THE…read moreSAFETY OF YOUR FAMILY, THINK VERY CAREFULLY BEFORE ALLOWING BEST BUY TO INSTALL ANYTHING IN YOUR HOME.** I purchased a new television from Best Buy, purchased the television mount from Best Buy, and PAID BEST BUY to professionally install the entire package in my new apartment. Today, I was standing in my kitchen when I heard a noise. I looked into my living room and my stomach dropped. **MY ENTIRE TELEVISION AND WALL MOUNT WERE PULLING OUT OF THE WALL.** The mount had come away from the wall and the television was apparently being held up by only ONE remaining screw at the bottom. I was home alone. I had nobody there to help me hold the television, nobody to help me lift it off the failing mount, and nobody to help me get it somewhere safe before it came crashing down. And all I could think was: **What if I hadn't been home? What if a child had been standing underneath it? What if a pet had been underneath it when it fell?** This wasn't a television I hung myself. **I PAID BEST BUY FOR PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION.** When you pay a major national retailer to professionally mount a large, heavy television on your wall, you should be able to trust that it was installed safely and securely. So I immediately called Best Buy expecting them to take the situation seriously. Instead, I was told that because the installation was more than 90 days old, they would not warranty it and that I would have to pay **nearly $200 for someone to come out and LOOK AT IT.** I was also told I would have to "get on the schedule." Let that sink in. **The television that BEST BUY installed was actively pulling out of my wall, and their response was that I could pay them almost another $200 and wait to get on their schedule.** I was so disgusted that I hung up. And then it got even worse. This happened at approximately **3:00 PM on a Friday afternoon of a holiday weekend.** Somehow, I was lucky enough to find an independent professional named Steve who understood the urgency and arrived within approximately 30 minutes. When Steve safely removed the television and mount from the wall, we discovered what was behind it. **BIG SURPRISE -- IT WAS A SHODDY INSTALLATION.** The mount had locations available for FIVE screws. **Best Buy's installer had used only TWO.** The two screws weren't even the same length. The longer of the two screws had been installed at the BOTTOM of the mount instead of the top, where significant pull-away stress occurs. So for all of this time, I had a large, expensive television hanging on my wall and had absolutely no idea how it had been installed behind that television. Why would I? **I PAID BEST BUY PROFESSIONALS TO INSTALL IT.** That is the part people need to understand. When you hire someone to install something in your home, you're not standing behind them inspecting every screw. You are PAYING THEM because you're trusting that they know what they're doing. You're trusting that the work you cannot see has been done correctly and safely. Apparently, that trust was misplaced. To make this even more unbelievable, **I ALSO PAY BEST BUY FOR THEIR TECH SUPPORT/WARRANTY MEMBERSHIP PACKAGE.** You can be assured that I will be cancelling that as well. Why would I continue paying a company for protection and technical support when I cannot even trust the quality of the installation they performed in my home? This isn't about a late delivery. This isn't about somebody being rude at a checkout counter. This isn't about receiving the wrong television. **THIS IS A LARGE, HEAVY TELEVISION THAT WAS PULLING OUT OF MY WALL AFTER I PAID BEST BUY TO PROFESSIONALLY INSTALL IT.** And when I called them while it was happening, instead of hearing, "That should not happen. Let's make sure you are safe and get someone there," I heard about their 90-day policy, another nearly $200 charge, and getting on a schedule. That response tells me everything I need to know. If you're thinking about buying a television from Best Buy, televisions are available from plenty of other retailers. But if you're considering paying Best Buy to install something heavy in your home, **PLEASE REMEMBER MY EXPERIENCE BEFORE YOU MAKE THAT DECISION.** Ask exactly how many fasteners will be used. Ask whether they're going into studs. Ask what hardware is being used. Ask whether the installation meets the mount manufacturer's requirements. And do not simply assume that because the company is Best Buy and you're paying for "professional installation," everything behind that television was necessarily done correctly. I made that assumption. **I WILL NEVER MAKE IT AGAIN.** Based on my experience, **I cannot recommend Best Buy installation services and I will be taking my business elsewhere.** Best Buy, you should be embarrassed. You had an opportunity today to hear, **"The television YOUR installer mounted is coming out of my wall,"** and imm

The son of the (Owner) was extremely knowledgeable and it was a very small fix and with him running all kinds of tests to see if it was just the needle. He determined it was just that part that I needed and advised I could get it online for much cheaper than it would cost to have a repair shop fix it and even went so far as to provide me with the part number and told me how to do it once I received the part. He was also in the process of closing but helped me anyway. He went over and above what anyone would do in this scenario. It's a little late posting this because I forgot to do it when I left the store, but I hope he sees this and remembers who I am.
