Bait-and-switch pricing. Three confirmed orders, three cancellations, three price increases.
I ordered a monitor at $1,349. Received email confirmation. Best Buy cancelled, claiming “fraud.” No explanation, no opportunity to verify.
After cancellation, the price jumped to $1,499. I reordered—this time with a customer service rep on the phone who confirmed my order. Received confirmation. Cancelled again.
Price then jumped to $1,819. Ordered again, confirmed again, cancelled again.
Total price increase: $470 (35%). Every cancellation was followed by an immediate price hike. A human representative directly confirmed one of these orders, so this wasn’t just an automated system glitch.
I have confirmation emails, cancellation notices, and records of my customer service interactions. I’ve filed complaints with the BBB and state Attorney General.
If your order gets cancelled for “fraud” and the price conveniently increases afterward, you’re not alone.
Returned electronics that malfunctioned.
Generally, it's ok, but a lot of times you have to hunt a staff member to get help.
