⭐☆☆☆☆ Refused an Exchange on a Defective Product
We bought a gaming monitor from Best Buy right before Christmas. Took it home, set it up, and immediately noticed a line across the screen. Clearly defective.
We went back to the store within 15 minutes — not for a refund, but for a simple exchange.
Geek Squad refused the exchange because there were fingerprints on the screen. Let that sink in. We were expected to discover a defect without touching the product? That’s beyond unreasonable.
Because of this, I was forced to buy another monitor — not as nice — just so my son could have something to open and use. Best Buy created this problem, then made sure we paid for it twice.
We spend a lot of money at Best Buy every year, but after this experience, I will never spend another dollar there again. No loyalty, no common sense, and zero accountability for defective products.
Absolutely unacceptable.
