Best Buy Oceanside

I tried to call the Oceanside Best Buy because I want a new phone. I wanted to talk to someone on the floor or a Geek Squad member. First a poorly trained bot held me for 9 minutes getting nothing accomplished, then passed me to a virtual call center in some other country. Really annoyed me. All I wanted was to talk with someone in the store.

OK, Best Buy. You should treat every customer with respect and not waste their time. I just want to make it clear to others how you treat longtime repeat customers. I went to my Best Buy account, since sometime in 2019 to now, I have spent $23,358.51 dollars at Best Buy. Look it up and prove me wrong…. That does not include household spending of which is on my Sig-Os’ account. You shipped me a damaged product, your trusted partner gave me no time to send in photographs and you hide behind social media as your “customer service.” Sorry, I forgot about the immense help your chatbot gives… Anyway, I guess this kind of garbage service works for ya, but not for me. It was nice while it lasted. Cheers

Excellent product.

I’ve been a Best Buy customer for years, but this experience completely changed my view of the company. Best Buy hides behind confusing and inconsistently applied return policies, then stonewalls customers when issues arise. I was bounced between store staff, corporate support, and “executive resolution” with no one taking real ownership or offering a reasonable solution. Each interaction felt scripted, dismissive, and designed to exhaust the customer rather than help them. What’s most frustrating is the lack of accountability. Policies are selectively interpreted, explanations change depending on who you speak to, and once they decide to say no, meaningful conversation stops. Escalations lead nowhere. Transparency and basic customer respect are clearly not priorities. For a company of this size, the customer care experience is shockingly poor. If something goes wrong with your purchase, be prepared for a long, frustrating process with little to no resolution. I would strongly caution anyone buying higher priced items here. Once Best Buy has your money, you are largely on your own.
