Did not have the item in stock.They sent me to another store and they didn't have it in stock.And they said they couldn't call to check for me.So I went to home depot and got what I needed
I am extremely disappointed with Best Buy’s return policy and the complete lack of customer service I experienced.
I purchased a high-end phone case that is still completely unused and unopened. I admittedly assumed Best Buy’s return window would be 30 days, which is much more consistent with what I’ve come to expect from other major retailers. Instead, I learned that their standard return period is only 15 days.
What made the experience especially frustrating is that I attempted to return the item only a couple of days outside that window. The product was still factory sealed and in brand-new condition, yet the store was unwilling to offer a refund, store credit, or seemingly any reasonable accommodation whatsoever.
Policies are policies, but good customer service is demonstrated by how a company handles reasonable situations at the margins. Refusing to provide even store credit on an unopened, unused product just a few days beyond an unusually short 15-day return window is completely unacceptable in my opinion.
For a retailer competing with Amazon, Target, Costco, and others that make the customer experience far easier, this is an astonishingly poor way to treat customers.
Completely abysmal customer service. I will think twice before purchasing anything from Best Buy again and would strongly encourage others to understand their extremely restrictive return policy before shopping here.

I went in to the store for customer service to talk to a real person and the real person handed me a card with a phone number for customer service. The AI customer service told me to go to the website and only got me a real person after I repeat myself at least three times. The person on the phone was also not able to help me.
