Went to repair a $600 laptop that was covered by hp warranty and best buy claiming water damage (provided no proof despite me asking for photos or diagnosis) and asking for $1000 for repairs. When I refused service they charged me $85 to even get my laptop back and held the device as ransom if I don’t pay.
Update: the corporate agent simply had no interest resolving my issue and was trying to be argumentative. I’m still being forced to pay $85 to pick up my laptop. Why claim I don’t have to pay if I have a factory warranty and then after I show a warranty they just say we will not provide a refund. Completely hilarious and illogical customer service.
