I have spent so many hours on this… I have tried calling the local store. The New AI automation will not let you speak to a local store no matter what you do on the AI powered system. If you do need to talk to someone, you get to talk with a call center. I spoke with three different people who all said that there is no longer the ability to call the local store. You can only talk to a call center. After asking my question, the call center assured me that they could service my computer, when I took it in to the store, they said no. It’s so disappointing that Best Buy customer support has now been co lately taken over by AI and the only way to ask a real questions is to drive to the store, which is the only advice I was given from the call center. I have a simple yes or no question, but after driving to one location and finding out I was told wrong by the call center, I don’t know how many stores the expect me to just keep driving to. Disappointed that Best Buy now only uses AI and cannot help customers answer questions
Beware
Best Buy shipped me something damaged and will do nothing about it. If their chatbot can’t help you, then you are SOL I guess.
It's fine they don't want my business, I'll live. I would be careful if I were you. Mine was fairly inexpensive and I can afford it, but if it wasn't and I couldn't, it would be a much harder cookie to swallow.
Choose wisely...
Very friendly greeting when arriving at this store. Helpful staff to guide you and assist you finding what your looking for.
