Nice display. Nice electronic selections.
I LIKE BEST BUY BUT IT FEELS LIKE A BAIT AND SWITCH
I really like Best Buy for a number of reasons but I'm giving it a rating of "1" today based on the fine print price match guarantee policy. I saw the price of the Eufy S340 on Eufy's website for $160 which is $40 off it's normal price. I sought to get a price match here at Best Buy but one of the associates here informed me that it does not pertain to items on manufacturer's websites. I indicated that it also had that price on Amazon's website. The associate went on to say that it only pertains to certain items from Amazon IF it is sold AND shipped by Amazon. So the fact that though the Amazon website it says "shipped by amazon", it doesn't qualify for a price match guarantee because it is "sold by Eufy - Home". Apparently it has to be sold and shipped by Amazon.
Earlier in the year we bought two expensive phones, about $1,100 each, and got the Total Member Protection, which also warranties products automatically as part of the package. Along with the assurance of price matching, we thought it would be a great deal a great way to protect ourselves as we resolved to buy most of our electronic goods from Best Buy.
But with this kind of maneuvering, it feels like a shell game that has three shells and only one of the three shells has the piece underneath it, and you have to make sure that you pick up the right shell in spite of the slight of hand as the shells are quickly moved about in a woven-like fashion. No matter how you slice this, at the consumer level it feels like a bait and switch.

I would give them zero stars if I could. They sold us a Samsung Z Flip Phone in September of 2024. The phone stopped working in December. Took phone in and they said they no longer had contract with Samsung and could not repair phone. They knew in January 2024 that their contract was ended but still sold us a samsung phone AND a warranty. Shame on you Best Buy. Never shopping there again.

Boyfriend got himself the ps5 since they allow afterpay. Only problem was when he ordered it, they said he could pick it up the same day but then had a message saying they couldn't fill his order until the day after. He still got it the next day and he's happy with it.
