Unacceptable Service Failure – Order #1126076115278
I am writing to formally express my extreme dissatisfaction with the handling of my recent order (#1126076115278), which included a 75” television, mount, and professional installation for my condo in Gatlinburg, TN.
This experience was completely unacceptable.
I scheduled delivery and installation in advance for Tuesday, March 24, 2026, with a confirmed service window of 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM EST. I received confirmations via email, text, and your app. Based on this, I drove over 7 hours specifically to meet your team for this appointment.
At approximately 1:30 PM EST, I noticed the appointment had disappeared from the app. Concerned, I called twice and received no clear answers. After a third call—well into the delivery window—I was finally told the order had been canceled due to being out of stock.
At no point did anyone from your company proactively communicate this cancellation.
No call. No email. No text. Nothing.
Instead, I was left to discover the issue myself after traveling an entire day, rearranging my schedule, and waiting during the confirmed delivery window. This is not only a failure in logistics, but a complete breakdown in basic customer service and communication.
While I understand that inventory issues can occur, the complete lack of notification is inexcusable. The burden of discovering and resolving your internal issue fell entirely on me, the customer.
I have spent thousands of dollars with your company over the years, and this experience has completely eroded my confidence in doing business with you moving forward. As it stands today, I have no intention of purchasing from Best Buy again.
I expect a formal response addressing:
Why this order was canceled without any notification
What you intend to do to make this situation right
This was a preventable failure, and the lack of accountability is deeply disappointing.

I don't shop here a lot but the times I have, it's been fine. The employees are friendly and the store is clean. 4 stars instead of 5 only because they don't always have what I'm looking for.
came into best, buy and needed a ipad for my grandchild and chloe was very helpful and answered all my questions.It's so nice to have a helpful employee who cares about what I needed? And she did that, then I had to come back a few days later, and she was there. So I she helped me with my TV setup bought, thank you, Chloe, you're a great person.
