Of course a store this big has to have decent service which I did receive. But I would have liked a little more personal touch with my email responses for some technical help. Overall though a great site for electronics and their warranties are honored.
Acer, Acer, Acer? Toshiba, HP....... selection pf brands is 0. what about SONY? I found 1 sony computer on display in the store? just ONE??? What to do if I'm not interested in cheap low-class ACER? Will not be going back to Best Buy ever again!
I spend a lot of time on the road and this makes shopping for hardware a pain. I've been let down by the promised delivery times on the Best Buy website several times. The selection is great, and the prices are OK (I don't mind paying more for the convenience of "everything under one roof"), but I'm only willing to use Best Buy for the collect at store option now.
Even then, I've had a few issues with my order "going missing", but usually the staff are helpful enough with this.
this store is only good when you go in person. Always have bad experiences with their online store for some reason
the customer service is better now since they revamped their return policy.
My nearest Best Buy is quite a long trip from my home and workplace. I like to pick items up rather than wait around for deliveries though. I regularly use the BestBuy website to arrange collect at store purchases and have never had a problem. Admittedly, sometimes they're more expensive than mail order only places but the convenience and speed makes it worth using them for urgent purchases.
I can't comment on their returns policy because I've never had a problem with anything I've bought. I guess that's a plus!
The prices are great. the site is easy to use. Delivery is fast!
Now if we're talking about the physical store that's a whole different review!
I order whatever I want and it's delivered to my door withine 2 days! One of my favourite places for computer and camera stuff!
Not only a really good price on a in-demand PS3 game, but it was through my letterbox the next day!
Fabulous!
While they used to be known for great selection and prices, it doesn't seem to be the case any more. Perhaps my expectations have risen as I've gotten older, but it really seems like there isn't much difference between them and Walmart or Sears these days. Prices are ok, not great. Staff seems a little young and inexperienced. I admit I shop here but not by default. If I can wait, I buy online. If I'm willing to drive, I'd much rather go to Fry's. Fry's has a far better selection and more knowledgeable staff. I would only go to Best Buy if I wanted something today and didn't want to drive for it.
The price was great! I used their chat feature and it seemed like the people didnt know what they were talking about. I used the pick up in store option and their inventory wasnt updated so I had to drive into the next city in order to even get the speakers. Luckily the price was worth it.
I only gave bestbuy 4 stars because over the years I have shopped with them they have been a really great store but when it comes to warranty, well lets just say I hope you never have anything break with them. They laptop I am using right now came from bestbuy and it works like a champ and was priced great! Their crew isnt exactly the super smart geek crew they make them out to be as they tend to lack in knowledge on the more technical questions but for the most part they have always been very helpful. I have used their shop online and pick up at the store feature a few times and it worked great just as described! I shop at best buy for most of my electronic needs and as it stands I dont see that changing anytime in the near future.
UK FIRM - The delivery of the washing machine was on time and prompt (within the time window purchased from the website). The problems came when I tried to return the product as I wanted to purchase a different version. Called the call centre and arranged collection for Wed (No email confirmation ) as they delivery but don't collect on a Sat. I waited in all day and called the call centre 3 times during the day to which the (helpful but apparently useless) agents said driver is on route. 5.30pm called call centre. they confirmed that delivery company didn't know anything about collection. I stated they would have to collect on the Saturday morning (agent agreed) (No email confirmation). Day before at 9pm received a voicemail stating collection on Monday. Furious rang the next morning (as not open at the time of the call) to which the Best Buy agent stated it will be picked up on Saturday. Again no pickup. I waited on Monday and again no pickup!! Still Waiting to return product! 3 x fail!!!!
Since a lot of unexperienced people shop there - you sometimes have to wait to just buy something that you want. You cant just grab a laptop off the shelf - they need to fetch it for you.
Also had a negative experience with Best Buy when I bought a DELL laptop with a very dim screen - returned it the next day because of this defect - which they said is a known issue. but they decided to charge me a restocking fee anyway - Bad Business.
i did buy a printer (kodak esp 9)and everything went well,the delivery was on time,the machine arrived in good condition.no hassles.
I ordered a usb memory hub and it worked great. I have ordered many items from many places and I don't usually get what I ordered on time. But this place is good.
I can't believe there are negative comments about Best Buy. Im a customer for over 2 years now and honestly its the best online store I have ever encountered. Prompt service and assistance made me going back to this site.
Purchased a Macbook pro from Bestbuy, was plagued with processor whine. Took it in three times, issue was never fixed. Last time I received it back, it was severely scratched. Took it too the apple store, they actually replaced it even though it was not purchased from them. Buy the Mac's from the Apple store and save yourself tons of trouble.
i bought a warranty for my ipod about a year ago. my ipod broke and i took it in to bestbuy. they said they wouldnt replace my ipod. After arguing with them they said the terms have since changed from when i bought the replacement plan. What a bunch of phonys!
