Total failure! Ordered a refurbished Apple Watch from Best Buy - frankly to avoid Amazon. Shipping was listed as taking a week - geez, but proceeded. Carrier lost item after a week. Oh, and Best Buy charge me on day 1. Had to call customer service - took for ever - supposed to cancel order. But I need to do follow-up, ensure my CC credited, etc. Amazon same price and 1 day delivery. Really, really disappointed in Best Buy.
Gets even worse - BB replies to my bad review and requested to message on Facebook. I do that and no ones answers for a long time. Then someone named 'Jay' asks what I need and I past the link and ask to be connected to who can help. Guess what - no answer for 10 minutes. BB was getting better, but appears to have hit the ditch again.

Not great. At first there seemed to be lots of inventory of electronics, then the sales person was seemingly knowledgeable then took a quick turn to rude when he found out he wasn't making a quick instant sale, even tried the pressure tactic by saying sale ends "today or tomorrow". Went else where and made a better purchase deal. Suggest you do the same or try for yourself.

This is what “Open Box - Excellent” means to this location. Loosely packed home theater system, severe cosmetic damage to the subwoofer/rear speakers, and splitting power cables patched with electrical tape. How did this even pass inspection?
