Rude,Dishonest, Unprofessional
Met with sales personnel for 3 weeks. Saw some TV's I wanted to purchase because they were going to install a home theater system for me. Said not to worry, they would make notes and when we were through with the Geek Squad and what they would propose, everything would be addressed. Got proposal which was more than I wanted to spend. Eliminated some things but was still spending $5K. Suddenly all prices quote would not be honored even though these were published and quoted prices. I told them these were their prices not mine. Told that since I change proposal they wouldn't honor TV prices and wouldn't discount any hardware purchased. I had spent over $10K with them over 2 year period. After I told them this wasn't fair, that I could have bought TV's when they were on sale, they really didn't care, and told me to leave the store. And about quoted prices, they didn't care about that either. Sales Mgrs Frank and Pete were rude, unprofessional and could care less if they lost a customer, which they did. Wouldn't trust them at all.

Simply awful
I spent close to three hours to make an on-line ordering to buy a special Christmas sale of Samsung - 7.3 Cu. Ft. 9-Cycle Gas Dryer - Gray DV337AGG for $650. But I was told it is not available for delivery ($70) to my neither house nor pick-up from any of their Houston store.

This is a fraudulent advertisement. Since it is an Outlet Item as it indicated, then why I could not get delivery from Bestbuy Houston Galleria store which is one of four outlets in Texas. How could this type of dryer is not available in Houston area which is the fourth largest city in the U.S.

I talked with one of their on-line representative on Dec. 25, 2008 around 8:30 AM.; she has an obnoxious attitude by telling me the same thing of this product unavailability until I talked with Crystal who is very helpful but she still could not help but refer me to their management team.

False advertising
Best Buy had an advertisement for Fable 2 Platinum Hits for Xbox 360.

However the item sent is the original Fable 2, with no copy of the actual Platinum Hits.

This is a loss of $20 and false advertising. Very disappointed.

People beware
I bought some software at Best Buy. But when I got home, I realized that the version I bought required a higher system number than I had on my computer. In other words, it was not compatible with my computer. No problem. My fault for not checking carefully. The receipt said no returns on opened software, but I figured I would call the store to ask anyways. The young lady I spoke with gave me some garbage story about it being "against federal copyright laws to take back open software", but then she said she would check with a manager. About a 3 minute wait on hold, she came back and told me the manager said he would allow us to switch to some other software as long as we carried the computer in question into the store to prove the system mismatch.

So two days later (snowstorm on day 1), I went back to the Best Buy store (in Springfield, Oregon) with computer in hand. After searching a long time for another Mac compatible software (with the correct system requirement this time), I went to the exchange counter. I told my story and told them what the girl had promised on the phone two days prior. The guy at the return counter, Roman, asked for the name of the young lady, which unfortunately I did not have. He called around and nobody would admit to ever speaking to me or giving me that offer. The floor manager (Cindy) also refused to honor what I had been told on the phone. Basically their point was that they did not believe employee would ever agree to those special terms and I was just trying to scam them.

End result: I felt insulted and will not go back. I understand their terms BUT they should stand behind what their employees say on the telephone.

Secondly, they should stop giving the garbage excuse about "federal copyright law" prohibiting them from accepting software returns. I heard this lame excuse/lie from both Cindy and Roman on that same day. I can only wonder if Borders book stores are breaking "federal copyright law" every time they accept a book return?... I wonder why the federal government does not arrest the CEO of Borders?!?

Best Buy should just stop insulting their customers and admit they do not accept software returns for their own business/profit reasons. There is no federal law preventing them from doing so.

Was told I won a free laptop
I was told I won a free laptop for being a certain number visitor to their web site but I had to fill out a survey first. Then I was told I had to sign up for at least two offers to be qualified for the laptop. I picked Disney Movie Club and Netflix. I have never recieved my FREE laptop but I am stuck in two contracts that I didn't want but signed up for to get the laptop. I don't think I should have to meet my contract obligations under these circumstances and it doesn't show favorly on you to be associated with this type of program. My membership # is 4151562. I would appreciate hearing from you concerning this matter.

Horrible Customer Service
I used both BestBuy.ca and FutureShop.ca during the Boxing Day sale and have had a horrible experience with both. I ordered a hard drive from Future Shop which was shipped via Canada Post and they did not deliver for whatever reason and shipped it back to Future Shop. I called several times and they kept saying that I would get credited back the charge and I could reorder the item but they couldn"t guarantee I would get the sale price. I could not believe this is their policy, no wonder you have so many people complaining about your customer service. I also ordered a flatscreen TV from the Best Buy website on Boxing Day and they indicated that there was 100 units for each of the three territories but when I called because I hadn't heard anything they told me it was on backorder. I asked why if I was one of the 100 that got it on sale that they wouldn't have stock of them. I could not get a straight answer or even the same answer from any of the people I talked to. They indicated that the quantity that it shows on the website doesn't always reflect what they have on hand but in this instance it doesn't apply because if they have the 100 units that are on sale then they should have all 100 to ship. It doesn't say that we are taking orders for 100 and then we will order them once we receive all the orders which is probably exactly what they do.

This will be the last product I ever buy from Best Buy.

NO WARRANTY PROTECTION
I bought an HP Touchsmart 10/2008, on-sale for $1499.00 or so. Put another $500-600 worth of so-called protection to protect my new beauty. In September of 2009, not yet 1year-my newphew accidentally got his headphones caught in the legs of the computer as he was getting up from the desk which caused it to drop. I took it back to Best Buy and was told there was nothing they could do because I did not have coverage for the casing which was cracked at the top, causing the power button to invert. This made it difficult to get the computer to turn on as the power button was stuck. Well, I really was not happy at this point and started taping(thanks to flip video)what the clerk was telling me. The manager-Marvin later came as asked me to see him elswhere, but I informed him that he could speak to me at the customer service counter. He stated to me that in an effort to see how we could resolve the matter-he would send it to the service center for an estimate. They had my computer for over a month and upon leaving to go out of town my spouse and I stopped there to inquire about what was happening. We were told that there was nothing on our estimate slip and that the computer was not there. The following Monday or Tuesday, we got a letter stating that we needed to come pick up our computer which had been at their store for over a month or so, or they would dispose of it. Supposedly, the service center called my home phone# and left messages on my voicemail, but we only have local service on our phone-no voicemail, 3-way or caller ID. I wonder on whose phone was this supposed message left. When we asked that the service center be contacted again for an estimate--it came back over $2100.00-which is what I paid for it. I don't know if they think it was funny or not, but I sure don't. Even more, it appears that they bent the casing down as the top of the computer was smooth. The only crack was the top casing surrounding the power button. The Geek, even while I was standing at the counter to pick up my computer used his pocket knife to get the button un-stuck. My warranty as I was told by Marvin, basically covers surges. After I got over the fact that the casing would not be fixed, I was told the power button could not be as well. I stated several times to them that the power button is internal and should be covered by the warranty. Also, it was not even 1yr old and my warranty covers a 3yr period. When I inquired about the manufacturer's warranty, I was told thay HP is very protective of their product! What does that mean to me. Best Buy does not honor their warranty--I was told I did not need to buy anything else because everything was covered. The accidental plan Marvin stated I should have bought--was only for laptops and when I informed him of that-he agreed. Do they even know what they are selling---LIES.

Bad Customer Service
I am so frustrated with Best Buy. I went into the Wareham store on New Years Eve day looking to spend up to $1000 on the right camera, I was ready to buy. The sales rep was very happy to assist and appeared very confident with information initially. I spent nearly 25 minutes with the rep indicating the specifics I needed in a camera, video was important and essential. The rep ensured me that the camera I was to buy was superb with video and had all the other features I needed. It was a Nikon. The rep also sold me an additional lens only to find it was not in stock. Because time was of the essence, I purchased the next level of a lens. At the check out counter, the rep pressed hard for me to buy the insurance to the extent he was making me feel like a fool if I did not purchase. I was in the store for over 35 minutes at this point and preferred to leave it at that. A couple days later, I went to try out the camera only to find out that the camera did not do video!!! I had spent so much time with this rep and he sold me the wrong thing that didn't have what I really needed. Now I had to go back. When I went back, I expressed my dissatisfaction. The person who waiting on me was very knowledgeable and focused on solving the problem. He said he would see what he could do for my inconvenience. It turns out that he did nothing for my inconvenience, the camera I now purchased was not in stock and I was charged to have it sent home. I sent the camera to a friend's house to avoid problems since I live in an apartment building and I didn't want the item to get lost. I was given a reward zone card as compensation for my inconvenience. When I got home, I went to activate my card, only to find out the card was registered to my friends name and address rather than mine, the person who made the purchase! I then called Best Buy only to be told that I have to set up a new account and call them back again to have my purchase transferred. The first purchase I was sold the wrong product for my needs, the second purchase I was not compensated as promised, "I will see what I can do" and nothing was done and finally my reward zone card is set up incorrectly and can't be changed and has given me more work to do. I am not at all satisfied with my experience with Best Buy. I went on to fill out the survey only for it to get stuck on the last page. I called Customer Care and the person said they assured me this would not happen again. How is this the case. He did nothing to accommodate me for the frustration and inconvenience. I will hesitate before shopping at Best Buy ever again. Their customer service and resolution is very poor.
