Very disappointed with Best Buy’s return process and customer service. A duplicate item was accidentally purchased, and there was no alert indicating it had already been purchased.
When we went to the store to return it, we were told it had to be mailed back and that no restocking fee would be charged. Amir, the Burbank store manager, confirmed this on October 18 at 4 p.m.
Despite that assurance, once the return was received, a 15% restocking fee was deducted. I called to dispute the charge and request that the promised waiver be honored, but I was transferred multiple times without any resolution.
Customers should be able to trust the information provided by a store manager. I’m asking Best Buy to honor its commitment and refund the restocking fee.

Sergio M was helped me so much. He is extremely knowledgable about the products and his customer service skills are amazing. He advised me on just the right SS external hard drive for my specific needs.
