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.
Bought an LG wash tower but needed dryer vented to the left. Was told it was no problem so I ordered the kit to have ready as I was instructed. Delivery man today said they are not allowed to install vent kits. Another contractor is coming tomorrow to install but isn’t paid enough to finish the FREE installation of the wash tower. What a fiasco and trying to reach the store is impossible. This will be my last purchase at Best Buy!

Hello,
Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We can understand being told that your dryer would be able to be set up a certain way, only to later be informed that this couldn't be done, isn't an ideal experience. We'd like to look into this further with you.

The manager is so sweet (her name is slipping my mind) she went above and beyond to make sure we found the exact headphones my daughter wanted just days before Christmas!
