Love the customer care the crew shows from entrance to exit even with my first return.
This store and its manager refused to accept my open box outlet return. I bought an open box gaming monitor from the outlet store in Bowie. I was told there that I have 15 days to return it and that I could return it to any Best Buy location. I was also told on the Best Buy support chat online the same thing, that my purchase was eligible for return to any best buy location.
But no, this particular location refused to accept it. The manager told me it’s against policy, which it is not. Clearly. So he lied to my face. Then told me that all outlet sales are final sales. That was also a lie, they are not unless they specifically say Final Sale at time of purchase. Which mine did not.
He told me I had to drive all the way back to Bowie just to return this item.
I refused to accept that and drove to another nearby Best Buy who happily accepted my return.
This locations employees apparently have zero idea on their company policy as well as being Ill informed along with a lying “manager”.
Seriously, why blatantly lie to a customer especially as a “manager” simply because you don’t want your store to accept outlet returns?
