Best Buy Whitehall

UPDATE: Thank you to the social media team for the response and for providing the reference number (Google review #160317). However, I want to provide a transparent update on how Best Buy Corporate actually handled this situation. In response to my Better Business Bureau complaint, Jeff (no last name), an Executive Customer Specialist, contacted me on behalf of Corporate. He explained that all pre-owned Best Buy electronic devices come with a 90-day warranty through CCR Warranty, and they could repair or replace the device. Because I have sensitive data on the phone, a repair was my only viable option. However, when I contacted CCR Warranty, they flatly contradicted Jeff’s claims, stating they do not repair phones under any circumstances, they only replace them. When I brought this contradiction back to Jeff, the executive resolution offered was simply to tell me that I "should have backed up my data" on a phone that suffered a sudden, catastrophic failure less than two months after being sold in "excellent" condition. If you buy "Geek Squad Certified" or "excellent" pre-owned tech from Best Buy, be warned: corporate promises one thing to smooth over complaints, but their warranty departments enforce another. I will be leaving this review up to ensure other buyers know exactly what kind of "support" to expect when their certified devices fail. ORIGINAL: I’ve now had multiple bad experiences with Best Buy’s “certified” and preowned electronics. In March, I purchased a preowned iPhone 15 Plus listed in “excellent” condition. Less than two months later, the touchscreen completely failed, making the phone unusable. What made the experience worse was the poor customer service. I contacted support multiple times and received inconsistent information and little assistance. I have since had to file complaints with the Pennsylvania Attorney General office and the Better Business Bureau. I’ve also previously purchased a Geek Squad Certified “unlocked” smartwatch that arrived carrier-locked to T-Mobile. When I reached out to T-Mobile to see if they could unlock it on their end, they were in utter shock that it was even sold considering it was still tied to an active contract. These experiences have left me with serious concerns about Best Buy’s inspection process, the accuracy and reliability of its product descriptions, condition ratings, and other labels used to market preowned items, and the quality of support provided when defective products are sold.
