I purchased a new television, mounting bracket, soundbar, and full installation service from Best Buy. The installation was scheduled for Wednesday with a 12-hour arrival window—from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.—so I took the entire day off work to be present. ( important note,Drew our salesman, was wonderful to work with. Thank you Drew for a great sales experience.)
I followed Best Buy’s preparation instructions, moved all the furniture, cleaned the area, and made sure everything was completely ready for the installation.
At approximately 10:15 that morning, while the tracking system showed the installer on his way to my house, I received a call saying they had “bad news.” They were only delivering the television because Best Buy had never received the mounting bracket needed to perform the installation.
No one bothered to verify that all the required equipment was available before confirming my appointment and allowing me to sacrifice an entire workday. I was told brackets were available at other Best Buy locations, but the delivery team did not have time to retrieve one. Apparently, Best Buy’s time was too valuable to correct its own mistake, but my time was not.
Their proposed solution was either to have a friend or family member present for another appointment or wait until the end of the following week and take another day off work. Neither is acceptable. This is my home and my television, and I need to approve its exact position, height, wiring, and final installation.
I even offered to pick up the correct bracket myself, but Best Buy still would not provide a prompt installation date.
Mistakes happen, but responsible companies make reasonable efforts to correct them. Best Buy failed to verify the equipment, wasted an entire day of my time, and then expected me to absorb the inconvenience of its mistake by waiting more than another week.
I am requesting an expedited installation, a narrower confirmed appointment window, and appropriate compensation for the workday Best Buy wasted.
