Fraud and scam
I purchased a set of WSP150 speakers a while back, in 2005 at Best Buy. They have been sitting in a closet since then. I decided to open the box today and found that instead of speakers, I have 3 transmitters, 2 boxes of ac plugs and 2 sets of Owners Manuals. What can we do? I called your customer service and was advised to speak with the store manager. I spoke with a manager named Sean Medina at the Arlington Texas location where I purchased this and he said since this was purchased over 30 days ago, he could do nothing. Wow, I thought you all had great customer service until now. There is no way I would have the items I have unless an employee removed the original items from the box and this manager acted like he did not believe me. I have the original box! I trusted Best Buy in the fact that I bought this item from their store and expected that the picture on the box is what's inside of the box. It's not like I purchased it off the street or something, you should have a trusting relationship with a retailer, but that is now gone out the window with Best Buy!
All I wanted to do is an exchange or a gift card. I paid for these and all I have are the components...this really makes me angry and I will refuse to shop at your stores ever. I contacted RCA the manufacturer and they stated that this was done at the store level. I have spoken with 2 store managers, several customer service agents and people at their corporate office and they all state that without a receipt, they won't do anything. Most companies will at least do a store credit or replace the item with a like/similar item, but not Best Buy! I have reported this to the BBB in Texas and MN. and the attorney general office in Texas and I've printed the form and will mail it to the attorney general office in MN.
I will tell everyone I come in contact with about this experience with your company. There are several other electronic stores that I can spend my money with. I would like this to go to Mr. Brad Anderson-CEO and anyone else that can handle this problem. Wow, I am really disappointed in your company. The original packaging is still intact, but the boxes inside were switched out by someone within your company. How would I have these items other than at the date of purchase from your store???

Stolen laptop - then broken
Toshiba tech support told me to return my laptop (which had a factory defect) to their repair depot. I was informed that I could have 'GeekSquad' ship it to them for me.
I brought the laptop to the Geek squad and specifically requested they ship it to the address I provided. I was told that was no problem. I signed the release statement they gave me after crossing out the parts that pertained to payment and work.
They then shipped the laptop to "geek squad city" (not Toshiba) and attempted to make the repairs themselves. While working on it they caused addition case damage. They claimed the issue that was going to delay me getting my laptop back was a battery issue which was a lie.
After contacting 'Coral' at BB customer service I got the truth which was that they used a screw that was too long and muscled it thorough the top of the case. After more than a month I finally got the computer back with addition damage to the case that was not reported.
The "Geek Squad Toshiba repair specialist" had used a screwdriver to pry the part they broke, off of the machine which chipped and bent the bottom half of the case.
When I brought the additional damage to the attention of the stores general manager they called the police on me. While we were waiting for the police she kept taunting me trying to spark some kind of a physical altercation (which made me laugh at her and made her call into question my masculinity).
Mary (something or other) the General Manager of the Lafayette, IN store would be guilty of: Fraud, Theft, Transportation of stolen goods across state lines, and I'm sure 3 or 4 other things if she was an individual and not part of a cooperate entity.
According to the stance of BB, the service contract I signed gives them complete ownership of the computer for as long as they want, when in actuality the wording means they are authorized to do the "requested work" on the machine. Since I specifically requested that they NOT work on the machine and only mail it to the manufacturer I don't see what legal leg they are standing on.
Lesson learned: Don't ever set foot in a Best Buy for any reason.

buyer beware
Buy Beware
Arundel Mills Best Buy
I purchased a cover for my Ipod touch last month and tried to return it this week. I had the original receipt and the package was not open. I was 5 days over the 30 day return policy which I thought they would give me a store credit.
They did not. After seeing all the negative reviews on the web, I am glad that they only took me for a $27.00 purchase. I will not be buying anything from best buy again. I will stick with Amazon and Costco from now on.

Poor Service from Employees
Within the last month I have visited the Gretna Best Buy Store two times. I can promise them this. There will not be a third time. The first time I stood at the desk for the Home Theather Dept., and waited patiently to be helped. I was second in line. I stood and smiled as another lady walked up and one of the several employees behind the desk asked, "May I help you mam?" Ok, so I figure honest mistake. I listened as the employees joked around and talked about their lives. Then another man comes up and another employee asks, "How may I help you sir?" Again patiently I just shrug it off as somehow they've over looked me. It was when the 3rd customer walked up and another employee asked her how may he help her, that I said loudly, "I guess I'm invisible." They all looked at me like I was crazy, and the 3rd customer informed them that I had been standing there before she came up to the counter. So now today May 18, 2009. I am looking to purchase a new Digital Camera. The lady is waiting on one man before me. So patiently I waited for her to finish. Two customers walked up after me, and when she was done with the gentlemen, she went directly to one of the customers who came up after me and asked, "Can I help you Sir?" That was it for me. I am a 210 pound woman, but to the employees of Best Buy I am invisible. After leaving Best Buy, I headed to Radio Shack which the Employee was friendly and very helpful. Radio Shack got my money today, and will in the future.

BEST BUY MANAGER
I recently purchased a 40 inch Samsung Led tv from best buy, Upon setting up the new system, I encountered some minor problems during the inital setup. I visit the Saugus Store with the Tv manual and surround sound manual and spoke to several sales assoicates about the best way to resolve the setup problems I was encountering, Instead I was told that if I wanted to resolve my problems The store had a service that handled the installation and setup for a fee of hundred and ninety nine dollars for setting up a home theater surround system
I explained to them that I had everything working except for the surround sound and could they show me where I had crossed the connections.
The store manager told me that it I wanted to resolve my problems, I had to purchase there plan for a hundred and ninety nine dollars. I just spent 2, 000 dollars purchasing the product and you would think they would take a few minutes to try and assist in resolving a minor problem.
Instead I returned the product the next day and Best Buy just lost another customer and a sale. I repurchased the same product from another retailer and not only was I able to complete the setup without any problems, the sales associates took the time to answer any questions that I had
WHO NEEDS BEST BUY, THEY SHOULD HAVE GONE BANKRUPT INSTEAD OF CIRCUIT CITY

Untrained Staff Leads to Demise of PC
Went into the store to purchase a new video card for my PC. Decided to get some more memory and a new power supply as well. Approached a clerk in the computer department and informed him about the make and model of my PC which I had purchased from Best Buy a year earlier. Sales associate clerks me over to the most expensive card that they have and told me it would be perfect for my PC.
Got home to do the installation and when seating the video card I crushed a SATA cable on the motherboard because this card in fact would never be able to fit my motherboard. Upon trying to remove the card I sliced up my hands and pulled the PCI Express socket off of my motherboard, doing irreparable damage to the system.
The manager I saw who earlier in the day gave me 10% off of the video card beacuse I was honest about the pricing, refused me any satisfaction when I returned to the store. He kept repeating that they could have their "Geek Squad" install the card since they were professionals.
Unless the Geek Squak could bend space, there would have been no way to install said card in my system. Apparently there is no way to reach corporate management if you have a problem with a store manager, just another customer service line.
Myself and my business will not spend another penny at Best Buy ever again. It is a pity that we have reached the death of customer service in this industry.

credit card
I keep getting letters from HSBC retail services saying that someone has requested an address change to
my credit card. I don't have a credit card with Best Buy or HSBC or anyone else. I did not request an address change. If you have me listed with an account, I want it cancelled now! I called the HSBC customer service several weeks ago and they said they would fix this problem--apparently they haven't. I need this taken care of now!

Car Stereo Installation
Don't ever get anything done by Best Buy in their mobile installation bay. These sorry blokes failed to simply place a seal in my firewall of my car to prevent water from rushing into my car and guess what happened. My car is flooded with over $3000 in water damage and my entire stereo system totaling over $7000 is totally ruined. A 10 cent grommet and some sealant would have saved me 10k worth of damage and the hassle of having to deal with their insurance company which is a nightmare. To put it simply DON'T EVER GO TO BEST BUY AND GET WORK DONE ON YOUR CAR!!

Awful service
Purchased ASUS 900 series netbook 2 pm on a weekday. Within 24 hrs it had repeatedly heated to such an extent that the cheap "mouse bar" melted and bent on the right. Online ASUS support was "unavailable" after 30 minute wait. Calling them directly resulted in constant ringing then please wait message with more ringing, about 7 minutes of this repetition before the ringing became overwhelming.
Took unit back to Worst Buy in Benton Harbor MI immediately (6 pm next night). Obnoxious Freek at counter stated that he'd never seen anything like this I must have done something to damage it. Since I am a PC repair/ maintenance person, I didn't get into a mine is bigger than yours contest with the jerk just decided to make it known that I was ticked and deal with it myself.
Freek was totally unprofessional, condescending behavior and a liar to boot - since the mouse bar IS an issue on that unit. A younger nicer Geek guy even stated, when Freek asked, that there were no scratches- dents- dings etc that would indicate damage from me. Freek jerk claims a 1mm "bulge" shows that something happened. I told him yes something happened I had to really jab hard on that key to get it to work. The unit gets so hot that I can see the that the thin metal casing could be getting a bit more pliant than it should and "bulging", weird part is the "bulge" is NOT by the bent right side of mouse bar.
Freek at Worst Buy Refused return/exchange since "he can't send this back". WHAT? E-mails to Best Buy corp and ASUS got response of "oh gee that's too bad sorry for that" type from Best Buy site, from ASUS, "We don't return or refund" and a lot of Chinese characters at the bottom of the e-mail.
I have a 14 year old computer that looks like new and is still working, slower than my new ones but still going strong. I maintain and upgrade it. I also have 2 others that were purchased from Best Buy, still like new. Again, maintained by me. And and new ACER netbook that works like a dream. I take great care with my computers and other electronic so the insulting behavior and superiority of this guy at the Benton Harbor, MI Best Buy store has definitely sent our business purchases as well as personal purchases elsewhere. All I want is the money back and to go get a second ACER netbook, from a different merchant obviously.
Sent complaints off to Fed and to Mi Atty Gen. apparently Best Buy can cheat customers and don't need t keep the ones who still buy from them happy.
Would dearly love some help getting money back and insight aside from the govt. complaints.

Horrible company
This is the second time I have called Best Buy credit services and they ALWAYS LIE! They tell me what i want to hear, and then hang up without making a note on the computer or going through with what they said. Mark my words I will Never do business with Best Buy again, and will let EVERYONE know that they are SCAMMERS and that they will rip you off. I am going to take my tax refund and pay off my bill so i never have to see them again!!!
