Worst customer service in person and on phone. My daughter went in there with her laptop to see about converting VHS tapes to DVD. She made sure she had a computer to ensure it was compatible products. Spoke to 3 different people and no one looked at her computer just told her it would work. She paid over $80 dollars for what was needed. Came home downloaded the software by product instructions and it crashed her computer. Tried to call Geek Squad for help, no one spoke English, extremely rude , and not the least bit helpful telling us 2-3 days even after we explained she is a college student in the middle of final exams. Went to Staples and found out if they had looked at her computer they would have known it wasn't capable of handling all that was needed to convert VHS to DVD. The product she was sold literally cooked her computer and it is useless, it's not even 2 years and apparently another piece of junk sold to us by Best Buy because it's built for Elementary school work and not even college level work. On top of all of that I've been calling all day and no one picks up the phone. All they do is send to a machine to leave a message or give you someone who isn't in the store and can't speak English. And to top it off we had to order a brand new computer last night pay additional to have it shipped and delivered this week. Can't wait to see how soon mine goes. No I will not be reaching out to you via social media. Have professionalism and actually speak to upset customers. I can promise I will never shop at Best Buy again and word of mouth is very powerful. I will be telling everyone I know about how Best Buy sold us a product that crashed and fried a computer then wouldn't see us and couldn't answer a phone when called. Disappointed is an understatement. What happened to professionalism and selling the right product, guess profit is more important.
