I am extremely disappointed with Best Buy’s handling of a serious issue. I purchased an Apple Watch Series 11, but upon opening the sealed outer box, the watch container was broken and watch is stolen.
Initially, I contacted support and was orally promised a replacement by an agent. After waiting two weeks with no shipping update, I followed up to request a refund instead. To my shock, Best Buy sent an email stating they will refund or replacement and ask me to "work with local law enforcement" and washing their hands of the situation.
It is unacceptable for a major retailer to ship a compromised product and then backtrack on a promised resolution.
Avoid buying and delivering high-value electronics; if something goes wrong, they will leave you stranded.
When I took a samsung s25+ and I took a ultimate protection Screen safety card they told us that come any time when it is possible for you we will change for safety protection card anytime which means its free and they also told that we will never take the money to put it and now when my glass is not ok so now I went there they told that it will coat money and the people’s who were woking there was talking very rude and making us mad

There's a reason these stories go out of business. The staff knows nothing, there's very little product, and most things are out of stock. I guess there's a reason Amazon is king.
