We are done with Best Buy. Will pay a little more for local companies products.
Over the past 5 years we have encountered several issues that lead us to believe Best Buy's customer service is all show.
Incidents include:
Purchasing a laptop and talked into the warranty. Go to use the warranty 7 months later and they would not honor it. As I am standing in line with my concern, I hear several other people complaining about the same thing. Not honoring what is in the warranty.
Second, purchasing a shelf for my husband's Trager Grill as a Christmas gift. 5 months later when the weather was warm enough to put it on, he realized it was the wrong size. It was still intact in the box. They said it was "outside of their return period". Yet it was grilling season (?).
Finally, as if we didn't learn our lesson, we choose to look at Best Buy for a new TV. We found one we liked and went to use our Best Buy card for a zero percent interest promotion mentioned by the service member helping us. After getting it home...the product was not eligible for zero percent. Their reaction, "oops".
We were fans of the ease of use and promotions with Best Buy. But this day and age, trust comes first. This is not a trust worthy company.
