      I found a sale price for Chromebook for $199.00. Best Buy was out of the stock for weeks. After chatting with BestBuy I was given the impression that once it is available, I will be given the $199. price. Right after the sale ended, BestBuy had the Chromebook in stock. I contacted *******, they refused to sell the Chromebook at the sale price. Then I was told that if I find the same price somewhere else, they would match it. I did find the $199.00 price; however, they refused to match it. I find BestBuy to be unethical.

      So we purchased a laptop back in November of 2021 we returned it and were supposed to be issued a full refund Best Buy issued 300+ dollars credit to our debit card and said a check would be mailed out to us for ******* $ the balance left. A year has almost gone by and Best Buy has not sent the check and trying to get assistance with it is impossible weve been to the store weve called customer service they keep saying the store has to handle the store says customer phone service has to handle it its ridiculous that no one could help us recover our ******* $. Best Buy claims theyve resent the check and we have yet to receive it months go by before we call to complaint again. All they tell us is ok we will re issue the check. They have the correct address we have confirmed it they are just not sending the check out

      we have emailed ***** and advised him that the check he claims best buy sent months ago never was sent out or received on our end.  ***** and best buy needs to reissue a check with tracking information so we can track it and make sure its truly being sent out.  we have been told by best buy a check was reissued more then 15 times this last year!!! best buy needs to do more to ensure the check is actually being mailed out.

      I brought my laptop (900$ value) to geek squad last week. I received very friendly service. I paid a total of $307 for repairs, and I left my laptop with them. When I received an email that my device was ready for pick up, I went to the the Best Buy and gave them my confirmation number. They told me that my laptop was not there and that they had given it to someone else. They allowed someone else to leave with my device.While they did offer discounts on other laptops, I did not plan to go in and spend an additional $600 on another laptop, as I had already paid three hundred dollars to get mine fixed. The customer service was great, but that does not take away from the fact that my laptop, with my personal information, was given to someone else. I believe that i should receive a laptop of the same value as the one that I brought in that was given to someone else, along with the $300 I paid to have it fixed. This is $1200. My Best Buy experience went from 300 dollars, to them giving someone else my laptop, leaving me to STILL pay 600$ for a new one. I can be contacted and provide details upon request. The Best Buy in question is located in *****, *******.

      We have contacted the customer directly, and have informed them that they have to reach out to our Recall Hotline directly to check the status of their recalled product, and upon processing their recalled product, they will receive an electronic gift card in the amount that they had originally paid.

      Best Buy considers this matter closed.

      We bought this item (for my husband) from Best Buy on August 6 to be delivered the next day. Same day item was marked as delivered but didnt arrived neither was signed for. Bestbuy confirmed item wasnt given to me or sign by anyone or handle to anyone. I went to my local store and the manager explained i needed to contact online customer service which we did (on the meanwhile i bought same item in store since i was there already). Customer service online chat asked if if i wanted a refund and i accepted since i already bought the item in their store.On Aug 6, 2022 they claimed refund would take ***** hours. 1 days later contacted customer service again for another issue and this rep assured me previous rep did issue a refund. On Thursday 11th 2022 called in and talked to a supervisor called ****. since again no refund recieved, and this supervisor metioned these 2 reps where giving me false information and there was no refund issued. He openned a case with some other department to issue the refund and was goign to take ***** hours. Today is August 15th 2022 and called in again and nothing has been done on this case. No refund has been issued and they asking me to wait more time but no contact fro mthem at all. Im a TotalTech member which is their paid mebership and im a Elite Plus since i have spend thousand on this year alone on this store. I need my refund process ASAP.Purchase Date:Aug 06, 2022 Order Number:BBY01-806667705480 Total:$559.99

      On August 8, 2022 I spoke with ******** ID number *********** gave me case number *********. I have still not heard back from Best Buy. My compliant to ******** involved an issue with my computer which, was not completely resolved. The first person I spoke with over at Geek Squad was ********, who although nice, kept me on the phone with her for almost 2 hours for nothing. My issues were then as per my insistence( the local geek squad to bring my computer in are extremely rude), escalated to an advanced technician. At the end of the computer check, I was unable to see if all issues were addressed because a survey needed to be filled out beforehand. Usually, business is done then a survey appears, however that is not the case with Best Buy. I refuse to continue to spend an unnecessary amount of time with ******** moving forward, as she is the one I get on the phone each and every time there is an issue with my computer.

      During the delivery of a refrigerator a handle was damaged. The delivery person documented the damage and told me Best Buy would replace the handle and/or offer compensation. After speaking with a Best Buy rep on the phone, I was promised $300 as a partial refund and a new handle. After a week, no refund. I called again and was told it was processed and I'd see it soon. Two more weeks, no refund. I call again and this time I'm told no refund had ever been processed. When I questioned this inconsistency, first I was told it would be processed (again), then told they could only offer me a gift card, then (after I demanded to speak to a supervisor) told my only option was to go to a store. The phone rep repeatedly refused to get me a supervisor or explain why I had been told repeatedly that the refund was "processed on our end and not to worry."So on July 30th I went to Best Buy ********* and explained the situation. I was referred by ************************* ******* to ***************************, an assistant manager, who assured me it would be handled by *****************, the delivery manager. She also assured me that she would follow up to make sure it was being taken care of. I was also sent to another employee to order the replacement handle from "the bridge." Another week went by with noting but a confusing conversation with Best Buy logistics, who appeared to say it was taken care of but also said they were not repairing the issue (or something like that). I emailed ****** (who had given me her card) to ask for a follow up, and after yet another week, have received no reply.I am now FIVE WEEKS+ into trying to receive the compensation I was promised. I would simply like what I was originally and repeatedly promised by multiple Best Buy employees, although now I think the compensation should be a bit higher due to my stress and inconvenience pursuing this.Order Bby01-806656446921
