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.
The employee Garg was very helpful and quick with his help! I came in a few months ago for a MacBook and he was very patient and polite. I recently came in with a friend for some AirPods and he was equally professional and helpful!
Although it was New Year Eve when we got a chance to finally visit, we didn't find a lot of knowledgeable help. We waited for 10+ mins for a an associate in cell phones who was very little help and appeared to be high. Another associate helped us in surround speakers who was very knowledgeable but they didn't have what we were looking for.
