1-Star Review: Worst Customer Service Experience at Best Buy – Ever
As a 20-year loyal Best Buy customer who's purchased countless TVs over the years, I've always seen them as one of the good guys and hoped they'd stick around. But my recent experience has been shocking and disappointing.
I bought a Samsung The Frame TV (picked up same day), aware of mixed reviews but loving the aesthetic. Employees warned not to lay it flat when loading into my Jeep Grand Cherokee—I tilted it sideways on the back seat for a smooth 9-minute drive home with no bumps (Ring video evidence confirms no drops or mishandling). After 2 hours of careful setup and mounting, the screen was broken right out of the box—no scratches, plastic still on, never dropped.
Samsung directed me to return it. I upgraded to the pricier Frame Pro the next day (carefully transported again), figuring a few hundred more was worth avoiding issues. But returning the original? Nightmare.
First, 45 minutes at the closer Tanasbourne store: Told I had to go back to the original location since they couldn't validate footage. Then at the purchase store, another 45 minutes with a polite employee who ultimately denied the return—citing "evidence on the right side" of damage and insisting the box should show impact if mishandled. They claimed we caused it, despite zero external damage, protective film intact, and my sworn account plus video proof. No dent in the box, no accusations of dropping, but still denied because of some internal "something happened."
I pleaded: Why would I buy a more expensive replacement the next day and then scam over a cheaper one? I just lost a TV turned on for 20 seconds, plus the financial hit.
Best Buy's rigid policy here felt unfair—no flexibility for a long-time customer with evidence. They offered only free recycling or an open-box discount option.
Bottom line:
Avoid the Samsung Frame—it's fragile and prone to screen issues (common complaints online about defects and transport sensitivity).
Best Buy's return policies for damaged TVs need reform; blindly assuming customer fault without clear box evidence ruins trust.
This is the worst experience I've ever had at any consumer electronics store after spending thousands here. It makes me never want to return—and warn others. Best Buy, do better and take care of loyal customers. This kind of judgment call is how businesses go under. I'm under financialy distress and then told it was my fault. Imagine leaving Best buy for them to tell you .... Don't worry we'll do the recycle fee. 1000 dollars down the drain before you could even tell them ...I spent even more on a higher end tv. You literally screwed over the wrong customer .... But I'll let the public decide. Pictures below.

Hello, Brett,
Thank you for sharing your concerns with your Frame TV return being denied. We can understand that having a television return denied as the store may have found that the damage may have been caused by transporting the television can be difficult. We do also offer delivery and installation options to make sure that any damage that may occur during transportation would be avoided. We would be glad to notate your concerns with the denial if you would like to reach out to us on any of our social media profiles below with Review 122882.
