I bought a brand new computer, online, it showed up with known issues. I used it for 3 weeks, worked with my own IT to have it resolved, brought it back to Best Buy to have them work on the computer, which they kept for a little over 2 weeks. Get the laptop back, the issues are unresolved. Back to the store, they exchange the computer. Conveniently, they don't have the computer I bought online in stock, so I have to get a model I don't want if I get my computer back that day. And then I have to pay them, for the lesser model, because of their store policy.
I live 200 miles round-trip from the closest store, I purchased it online to have options be easier for something like this. Best Buy requires I go to the store to resolve issues. So this is 3 days, using time off, paying for gas, to have them correct an issue for faulty hardware and then pay more for a lesser item that i hate and have to make work. But its "store policy". Well, the resolution to this is that this won't be a store I use anymore. Staff were extremely nice and helpful, they can't make up for terrible corporate policies that are meant to purposefully not take accountability for their faulty products.
