Based on my experience, I cannot recommend shopping online with Best Buy for store pickup.
I ordered an item online for store pickup at a lower advertised price. Shortly after, Best Buy cancelled my order, claiming it was unavailable—only to immediately relist the exact same item at the exact same store location for $20 more.
When I called customer service to fix this obvious system error, the first representative agreed with me and explicitly promised to honor the original, lower price. However, when I spoke to the next representative to finalize everything, they flat-out refused to honor the price adjustment promised by their colleague. I was forced to pay the extra $20 just to get the item I had already rightfully purchased.
This is incredibly deceptive. Best Buy needs to train their staff to honor the verbal contracts and prices promised by their own representatives. I am still waiting for Best Buy to do the right thing and refund the $20 difference.

This place just keeps getting worse. Haven’t had a good experience with BestBuy in years

It was worse than an abandoned ABC warehouse and I felt like I was in the hood.
