Went to Best Buy in Sherman Oaks CA to purchase Open Box Sony Bravia XR A95L in "Good Condition" and TV OLED was cracked on the bottom Left corner. Tv also had no image display when "Specialist" tried to turn it on. Wasted two hours of my Saturday due to Best Buy not testing open box for sale items before listing them for sale online. I can't believe the same broken open box tv is still for sale online 4 hours after they realized it was broken with my help. Yes, I had to show them the damage in store! Wish Best Buy would have their staff checking their Open Box products before listing them for sale. If I was their manager, I would be embarrassed. I guess I won't be back.

Hi, Ian,
Thanks for sharing your review and bringing this to our attention. Arriving at the store and finding that open-box TV you wish to purchase in a damaged state is not a very welcome experience. Then, seeing it marked online as still being available, can certainly add to that frustration. We would like to follow and up and learn more about your experience here at Corporate.

Bought 6 Amazon echos as gifts for the holidays, but didn’t need one of them. Unopened and with receipt in hand I tried to return the echo on 1/17, However the return desk says they have a hard 1/14 cut off on holiday returns. I appreciated that she’d confirmed with the manager standing at the front door. I explained to the manager I was unable to look for the receipt because I had been without power for 4 days because of the ongoing fires and they told me they’ve been open the entire time and could've refunded me by looking up my number ( of which I was unaware ) I asked if it helped if I was a Best Buy rewards member or was I at least able to receive store credit and their reply was simply “ Sorry, but no”.
I understand companies needing to set return limits but considering what the city is going through at the moment some flexibility with this policy could have gone a long way. So I’ll keep the Echo but I’m no longer a Best Buy Customer.
