Absolute horrible experience, trying to return something that my son was pretty much convinced to buy. He wanted the MacBook Neo and was talked out of it and convinced to buy a open box item when we tried to return it because it wasn’t the item he originally wanted they gave us the runaround about returning it. We had to come back three days later and still, they tried the same went around and finally they realize that they had made a typo on the serial Number and the worst part about this is they didn’t make an effort to apologize or take the accountability and accepting that they had made a mistake. They did nothing to try to make it right or to apologize for the inconvenience they put us through.
Shout out to Eric for finally figuring it out that it was a typo. The girl who put this order in couldn’t type at all because she’s not only made an error with the serial number, but also made an error with my phone number for The account purchase. That made it difficult for them to find the cell in the system whole time I’m giving my number whole time is under a whole different number.

Hello,
Thank you for sharing your experience. It's concerning to hear about the difficulties you encountered while attempting to return the open-box item, especially after your son was hoping to purchase a different product originally. Having to make multiple trips to the store, deal with delays caused by incorrect information on the order, and spend additional time resolving issues related to both the serial number and phone number would understandably be frustrating.
We appreciate you recognizing Eric for identifying the serial number discrepancy and helping move the process forward. Your feedback also highlights concerns regarding the accuracy of information entered during the sale, as well as the overall handling of the return process. Customer interactions should be handled with care and attention to detail, and your comments regarding accountability and communication are important.
We would like the chance to follow up and ensure this is documented and addressed. Please feel free to reach out to our support teams on social media, so we can better assist you.

Terrence assisted us in located items on our list of merchandise.
Luis was very helpful and knowledgeable in the electronics section. Excellent customer service
The Best Buy in Cedar Hill has some of the WORST customer service I have ever experienced. I went in on Friday needing help with an item I had purchased, and instead of actually helping me, every associate I spoke with kept sending me over to Geek Squad.
Then I get to Geek Squad and there is ONE employee working. I stood there and 1 customer left and than I left. That is completely unacceptable customer service.
What makes it even worse is that the Best Buy in Arlington clearly knows how to take care of customers. The associates there actually helped me with what I needed instead of passing me around to another department.
And the young lady who greeted me when I first walked in at the Cedar Hill location? Her customer service was absolutely terrible. No welcoming attitude, no real effort to help, and no sense that she cared about the customer experience whatsoever.
Honestly, RUN from the Cedar Hill Best Buy if you’re expecting good customer service. Save yourself the frustration and go to the Arlington location instead. The difference is night and day.
Best Buy needs to seriously address the customer service at this Cedar Hill location because customers should NOT have to fight this hard just to get basic assistance.
