Absolutely the worst customer service experience I’ve had in a long time.
I purchased a battery from this Best Buy location only three days ago. The battery never worked. I returned with the original packaging and receipt, expecting the store to stand behind the products they sell.
Instead, I was immediately told that batteries are not returnable. No one offered to test it. No one attempted to verify whether it was defective. No one offered a replacement, a solution, or even the slightest effort to help.
Apparently, once they have your money, a defective product becomes your problem.
The most disappointing part was not the defective battery—it was the complete lack of customer service. I left both the battery and the receipt at the counter and walked out because it was clear nobody cared whether the product worked or not.
If this is how Best Buy handles defective merchandise, I will gladly spend my money elsewhere in the future. There are plenty of places that actually value their customers.

Best Buy is kinda the same at each location... Best Buy here has a lot of open box stuff available, which is awesome to/for me! The staff is helpful for the most part, but there's way less staff at this location than others I've been to. The Samsung rep that's at this location wasn't all that helpful to me when I was looking for something this week, but the actual Best Buy employees have always been wonderful!
Una atención con los clientes que te da deseo de volver una y otra vez
Terrible communication app says preparing for pickup on the same day yet when you go into the store they claim the order isn’t ready and they don’t know when it’ll be ready make that make sense. Don’t put a estimated time if you don’t know when the customer can get their item that they already paid for. Get your shit together
