Inventory not synching with bestbuy.com they said you had item in store for pickup. The sales person really wasn't helpful. But eventually I had two cobble two separate items together to make one power cable for my laptop and paid more than I should. To many open boxes in that department as well and open box discounts not worth it. Minimal. Still save on taxes with 3% urban enterprise zone taxes.

I purchased two Lectric e-bikes for in-store pickup. Upon first use, both bikes were defective:
• One bike has a battery issue and powers off unexpectedly
• The other has unstable pedals, making it unsafe to ride
Because of this, I immediately attempted to return them within the return window shown on both my receipt and the Best Buy app.
Before coming in, I called to confirm I could return them and was told I could.
However, when I arrived at the Jersey City location, I was refused a return by a manager. The manager with purple ends on her hair and glasses to be more specific. I didn’t get her name bc honestly the whole thing was so stressful for me. Despite showing that I was within the return window, and the items being defective, I was told I could not return the items, with no clear explanation whatsoever. Just a “no” with no reason as to why. I was then directed to contact customer service, the manufacturer, and corporate myself, without any in-store assistance whatsoever. They made me do their job for them.
As a result, I left the store with two defective and unsafe products and no resolution.
Since then:
• I have contacted Best Buy corporate
• I have contacted the manufacturer
• I have opened a dispute with my bank
Best Buy corporate confirmed that defective items like these should be eligible for return, even without the original packaging due to the circumstances.
I run a local business and purchased these bikes for operational use. I did not expect this level of difficulty or lack of support when dealing with defective products.
I am requesting that Best Buy facilitate this return properly and resolve the situation IMMEDIATELY.
Sincerely,
Emily Mercado

Hello, Emily,
Having a return declined in store can be difficult. In cases of E-Bikes they can have limitations due to the cell battery that are broken down on our Return and Exchange Policy online at https://bby.me/QyUAd6 . This does detail Electric Bikes with 300 Watt or greater batteries as not being able to being a returnable item.
