      Made a purchase online of 1 VR headset- Large print messages notified me that there was extended holiday returns. Products was not usable, however when I've gone to return it to the location I was informed that it was not able to be returned due to the packaging being opened. This information was not presented to me at any time during the checkout process.

      Due to a problem on best buys side one part of my order was cancelled. Apparently my ********* account which I applied through best buy for the same as cash plan wasn't able to be charged even though my available credit was more than enough. They were unable to re-process that part of my order even though 80% of it was completed. If I was to re-order I would be charged another $80 fee which is ridiculous for that one item. To say I am disappointed is an understatement and I think that this is the end of my business dealing with Best Buy. Very poor customer service in this regard.

      In September I purchased an **** series x as a Christmas present for my son. The machine was to come with a 24 month subscription to Ultimate Game Pass. The sole reason for purchasing this machine was for the added bonus if the 24 month subscription. Upon receipt of the **** series x on September 28, 2023 I noticed my receipt or the contents of the package did not indicate the 24 month subscription was included. I immediately made contact with best buy to ensure it was part of the purchase. I was assured that when I activated the box that the subscription would be activated upon setting it up. I informed them it was a Christmas present and was again advised that it will be a part of the activation for the ****. I have had several online chats with best buy and there has been no resolution. I have been informed the ticket has been escaladed as of December 25th when we activated the **** and determined the subscription was not included; However their has been no updates provided even though I have had several contacts. I have been advised I will receive an email but yet no email has been received. My most recent contact was today Jan 2nd via telephone and the call was dropped and there was no attempt to reconnect to resolve the issue which is when I filed this complaint.

      Issued customer a ********* RMA label under tracking number ************ as the customer did not receive the ******** subscription for **** All Access after speaking with many associates who said it will be included but it wasn't - I offered customer many other resolutions but he was not happy with it and insisted that we return the **** - also issued the customer a $50 e-gift card.

On dec.31st received email that my order had been cancelled, Phoned them and they told me that the order had been cancelled on Dec.28h, but was never advised. reason because I wrote ********************* on the order and my credit **** says ****************** I live in a bilingual province and that should not be the case. They said there was no product left and the only thing they could do is give me 10% off up to 100$ I feel that since I was notified 3 days after the order was cancelled that the product ordered should be compensated for a similar product for the sale price.

      I don't know anyone with that name (****************************) and I can't find any conversations you had with him or any promise of a call from his part. Unfortunately, if a product is no longer available by the time you want to place an order, there's nothing anyone can do to help you get it. It is difficult to anticipate the availability of a product when stock is limited and the price is competitive. Unfortunately, no one can guarantee this, knowing that every order goes through several steps of verification and authorization before being validated.

      On December 21st, 2023, I ordered an ** washer and dryer set. I selected the haul away service for the old machines and installation of the new machines. In order to have the new machines installed upon delivery I was required to also order new washer and dryer hoses, which I did. The machines were delivered, last night, December 29th. Three delivery guys showed up and said that they could haul away our old machines but that they were unable to install the new ones. They took away our old machines and left the new ones in our hallway. They were to call me back with a new delivery time this morning and they did not. When I visited a Best Buy store and the manager looked up my file she said no new delivery time has been scheduled. Because it is New Year's, they won't be calling until Tuesday at which point they will schedule a new delivery. So we are looking at a minimum of a week without having any way to do laundry. I am a mother of three boys, this is a huge inconvenience to my family. When I called Best Buy, they said there is nothing they can do as it is the delivery company. I ordered the machines through Best Buy, yet they won't take any responsibility for this. They took my old machines and refused to connect the new ones, leaving me with nothing.

      Hello ********,

      I trust this message finds you well, and I appreciate your patience during this challenging experience. I want to sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration caused by the delayed delivery and installation of your ** washer and dryer set.

      I understand the importance of having your appliances installed promptly, and I want to acknowledge that we fell short of your expectations. Please accept our heartfelt apologies for any disruption this may have caused to your family.

      Upon receiving your concerns, we took immediate action and sent a team on January 3, ****, to complete the installation and connection of your new appliances. Our technicians ensured that the units were properly set up and relocated within your home. If there are any lingering issues or additional tasks that need attention, please do not hesitate to inform us, and we will address them promptly.

      While I regret that I am unable to offer a refund for this inconvenience, I want to extend a $125 Best Buy Gift Card as a token of our apology. We understand that this may not fully compensate for the inconvenience you've experienced, but we hope it demonstrates our commitment to making things right for you.

      Your satisfaction is of the utmost importance to us, and we are actively working to improve our processes to prevent such issues in the future. If you have any further concerns or if there's anything else we can do to assist you, please feel free to reach out to me directly.
      Once again, I apologize for any disruption to your daily routine, and I genuinely appreciate your understanding and patience.

      I ordered items from Best Buy Canada with the order numbers ********** and **********. For the amounts $10,169 and $9,604 respectively. I contacted best buy for a refund after returning the items and was told that they never received it. Waited months for an investigation then was told by Best Buy that ********* told them that they received packages that were empty. I did drop off the packages to purolators drop off site which the police suspect that the items were stolen. A police report was filed and I have been trying to get in contact with Best Buy but they have been unresponsive after I have called several times and had emails sent to their head quarters. Till this date I have not gotten money back from them and they have not been in communication with me.

      Thank you for the email, I hope you know that I have been trying to contact you guys for several months now and that Im glad you guys have replied with the help of BBB. The discrepancy of the items that were received back was because the items were stolen from the Purolator drop off box and altered. A police report and investigation of this was filed on my be half. I believe Best Buy does not have the appropriate documentation for this so I have attached the report to this email.

      We purchased a ******** Dishwasher approximately a year ago as part of an appliance package. The dishwasher completely stopped working during the one-year manufactor warranty period. The warranty is through BestBuy directly. We called to make the claim, which was started in or around December 11th (Claim#*********).

      Orignally, we were told our options were a) they would send in a repair technician to fix it, or b) they would replace and send a new dishwasher. We were told they would confirm in 2-4 business days and would hear from them. Nobody called. We called back every couple of days as they kept saying we would hear in 1-2 business days.

      Eventually, they determined they could not find a repair indivudal to attend the property. We have asked for a new unit to be sent, they have not. In the alternative, they suggested a credit may be possible, which we were fine with provided the credit could be used online in an amount to cover the replacement + delivery fee and we would just order a replacement ourselves. I note that the closest BestBuy is 4.5 hours away (we ordered online and do not use any brick and mortar location given the 9 hour return trip).

      On 5-6 occassions now, we have been told, promised, and guaranteed that someone would be calling us to finalize the resolution of our claim within 1-2 business days. We have never received a call. We call back after we do not hear anything, and they just say again that someone will call us in 1-2 business days and rinse and repeat. Most recently we called today (December 29th), following up on a previous call (December 27th) where we were "guaranteed" someone would call us by no later than December 28th. The customer service representative on December 29th said there was nothing he could do, and that he "promises" someone will call us within another 2 business days. It is just a never ending chain of broken assurances and warranties, with no end in sight.

      We made this order online as we are a 5 hour drive from a BestBuy Store. They are refusing to allow us to receive a refund or credit for online use. We are not able to contact the store as they do not accept phone calls. No one at Bestbuy is resolving this issue.  It has been a month with no resolution.





      Sincerely,

      I bought refurbished 2019 ******* *** ** 64gig laptop from Best Buy marketplace seller the transaction went though however it shipped without my street name on the delivery which I thought was a bit weird because I bought it with my credit card and I thought usually nothing goes through without all the correct details . 5 hours into setting up the dj software and ableton live which I would be using to trigger visuals . I thought oh I should double check and make sure I received what I actually ordered and it turns out i had received a 2019 ******* *** ** with 16 gigs i contact the seller and report that I received the wrong laptop. Because I am under time constraints and need the laptop that I purchased for work which I am unable to perform without it I offered to purchase the same laptop that I initially ordered for the same price and migrate my work over to the new computer then return the mistakenly shipped laptop for a refund. Which they replied return the laptop for refund. Which I replied but I ordered a specific laptop from you which you were advertising for a good price which is why I gave you my money . This is now setting off red flags as they are not willing to work with me to fix the issue leaving me to think they are doing this as their business model . Advertising high spec computers then delivering base models in the hopes people won’t check what’s under the hood until the return window is closed. I have contacted Best Buy and they have told me they would contact the seller and arrange the proper computer be shipped to me and I could return the low spec laptop. But the marketplace seller Electronics Superstore just replies return the product for a refund with no we will honor the product you purchased for the price we advertised. I’m feeling really heavily that they are playing a well practiced **** on me . Advertise sweet computer send base model hope no one notice before refund window no exchange offered

      Hi *****,

      Thank you for writing to Best Buy regarding your Fulfillment concerns for your Marketplace Online Order# **********. I do sincerely apologize that you had received the wrong item. 

      It does appear to be a fulfillment issue, although they cannot ship the correct laptop to you until they get the wrong laptop back. If they do not have any left in stock, they will need to refund your order. I do understand why you would not trust the Marketplace Seller to refund you once you ship the laptop back, although kindly note Best Buy does have measures in place to ensure our Marketplace Sellers are not ****ming our customers (IE our Marketplace Support Team). If there are any issues with getting your refund, you can simply reach out to us and we can speak to the Account manager at any Marketplace Seller to get the ball rolling. 

      Kindly message the Marketplace Seller in order to receive a Shipping Label to ship your laptop back. I know you mentioned you need a laptop, but they cannot be sending out multiple laptops without getting any back. Hopefully you can understand why this is a strict policy. 

      Let me know if you have any questions. 

      Kind Regards,

      I am rejecting this response because:

      do they have have the correct computer in stock?  Or are they just going to be refunding me the money if they have the correct computer in stock can I please just buy it from them and then return the one that is incorrect for a refund .   I just can’t be without a computer for like a month while I wait to find out that they don't have one in stock.   I don’t know about you but I can’t afford to be out of work for a month and a half just  because Best Buy marketplace is advertising high end computers and delivering base models  that is a ****!!!  Get them to ship the proper computer to Best Buy park royal and I will drive down from Whistler and exchange the computer anything I just need some kind of assurance that I will be able to exchange the computer for the one I bought.   You can’t advertise one product then ship out something completely different and say keep that shitty version or just return it we have no intention of sending you the proper computer 



      Sincerely,

      Hi *****,

      Thank you for your patience. Unfortunately, we cannot force the MP Seller to ship out any units anywhere, we can only force them to process the refund. I would suggest to reach out to the Marketplace seller and see if they can ship the correct laptop to a Store of your choosing and see if they can accommodate your request. I can see from the latest message from the Seller to you on December 29th that Amy is more than happy to assist with any questions you may have, so it would be in your best interest to reach back out to Amy. 

      If they are unable to assist with shipping a new laptop to your Store choice, I would suggest to place a new order for a different laptop of your choosing - if you are able to purchase a new laptop while waiting for your refund. 

      I understand it seems easy to simply "Ship the correct laptop," and I certainly sympathize with you needing a laptop for your DJ work, but the Seller cannot be sending out additional laptops without the incorrect one first. 

      Please reach back out to the Seller and see if they can accommodate your request. 

      Kind Regards,
