I would strongly recommend not buying high-value electronics from Best Buy. DON'T DO IT.
I purchased an mirrorless camera, initiated a return through Best Buy’s own return process, and the return shipment failed inside the Best Buy/FedEx logistics chain. The package did not reach Best Buy’s warehouse and after a lot of effort directly working with my local store, it was eventually routed back to me instead of the store. The item is still unopened. I was not asking for a refund without returning it. I was trying to give Best Buy back the unopened product through a documented return path.
Best Buy has made that absurdly difficult.
The store could not help. Customer service gave contradictory instructions: work with FedEx, contact law enforcement despite no theft or missing item, wait for a "prearranged" pickup that never happened, then accept that an unexplained account flag prevented further action. Corporate support added only polished non-answers: vague “investigation” language, no evidence list, no explanation of what was reviewed, no accountable decision-maker, and no practical resolution.
This should be simple: accept the unopened item, document the return, process the refund. Instead, Best Buy has turned a failed return workflow into the customer’s liability.
My takeaway is blunt: do not buy expensive cameras, laptops, appliances, or other high-value electronics from Best Buy if you expect competent post-sale support. Their price-competitiveness is also quite poor nowadays but more importantly, once the script breaks, their process becomes opaque, rigid, and extremely hostile, wrapped in hollow corporate empathy.
