Best Buy restrictions are ridiculous

I recently ordered a Gateway computer online. It was to be delivered by UPS. Tracked my order, saw it would be delivered 2/10/14. I work 8-5, went home on my lunch break to see if package had been delivered. Had a note from UPS stating they attempted delivery and I was not home. Would try again the following day between 10:30 and 2. Did not have any indication on the note as to WHY they could not deliver (i.e. signature required, payment requested, etc) Obviously, since I work, I was again not going to be home to receive my package. So I called the UPS customer service number to see if I could arrange to pick up my computer at their Customer Care location. The gentlemen politely informed me that no, I could not do that, as the seller (Best Buy) had restrictions on delivery. Basically, UPS could not change anything about the delivery. What does Best Buy expect those of us who have 8-5 jobs, and therefore are unable to wait at home for delivery of our purchase?? No where in my tracking info or order description does it say anything about me having to be home to receive delivery. I can understand that Best Buy may require a signature for delivery. That is perfectly fine. But why can I not physically go to the UPS location and sign for my purchase? This is ridiculous, and if this policy is not changed I will not be a repeat customer. As it is, I was able to get an "estimated" time of delivery, so I will take off in the hopes of catching the UPS man. If not, I do not know what I am going to do.

Hello arbefort,
Welcome to the forum. As a person who works outside the home, I can completely understand your frustration at not being able to make arrangements with UPS to pick up your computer. While I wouldn’t want a big investment like that left at my doorstep, I also can’t leave my work at any time to go home to wait for UPS to arrive, so I’m very sorry you had such a hard time getting your order.
Using the e-mail you registered on the forum, I was able to locate the order, and was glad to see that you did finally did receive it. I am unaware of any restriction that does not allow you to pick up your package at a UPS Customer Care location, but I do appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and I assure you I will be documenting your comments to forward to our internal teams to look into this further.
I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused, and I hope you are enjoying your new computer!
Thank you,

Is Best Buy credit card linked to Citibank?

This is posted in response to one moderators comment about Best Buy credit card.
His claim was that the Best Buy credit card was not really owned by Best Buy. As a result, there was nothing any Best Buy employee could do to help out with complaints about their Best Buy credit card.
The claim that Best Buy could not be responsible for the problems occurring with Citibank credit cards. Best Buy was just the "name" on the front of the card. The analogy called to mind is that if you are using the Best Buy Credit Card, it is just an advertising ploy. Best Buy cards are labeled with the Best Buy name and trademarked logo as an advertising premise. They are not linked in any way with Citicard and how Best Buy customers are treated.
The premise is not true. If Best Buy is not affiliated with Citibank or their cards; whey do we get "reward points" to only Best Buy if they have no involvement with Citibank? Other cards I have allow "reward points" to be used in multiple forums.
The Best Buy card has culpability in the mess with Citibank and cards issued under the Best Buy name. Best Buy retailer has culpability in this matter. I have no idea what the legal analysis of this leads to: I am not an attorney.
My posts have scared the "moderators" to the point that when I pass on the help attained by other members, they have pulled the posts; "locked the posts to read only" in mid-post. It's creepy. It also helps determine culpability and who is liable for the Citicard mess with Best Buy.
If Best Buy moderators pull posts that do not violate rules; if they restrict the use of a post to "read only while I'm typing" they are watching on a computer terminal as I write/type. When they restrict information that might show a path of resolution for those of us stuck in a loop; they are showing that they know that Best Buy is responsible in some way for what is happening with Citibank and the Best Buy issued card.
What can we do as consumers at Best Buy? Write the Board of Directors; copy the letters to your local store. And of course, take your business somewhere else. {removed per forum guidelines} This is a speculative comment. What if there is a relationship between Best Buy and Citibank that allows Best Buy to "capture" a portion of the fees that we have been charged by the "malfunctioning" computers? I have no idea and there is no way in the world that I would, at this point in time, talk with an attorney.
Sad that Best Buy moderators won't even apologize to the consumers who post on their website that there are major problems with purchasing an item at Best Buy on the Best Buy/Citicard. They could post an appropriate link or phone number that "might" help consumers with the problems with purchases. Sad that there is not acknowledgement of problems since Citibank took over the "Not Best Buy credit card".
Best Buy could have a conversation about what is going on and let people know that they want our business and they will do their best by establishing a better conduit of communication and information when there are problems with "not Best Buy credit card."
I wonder if they will pull this post? It is only fear that moves them. That is the key ingredient that makes something in a corporation sweat.
We all like shopping at Best Buy. Those reward points are great! Some of the stores provide excellent service.
Now that I understand that Best Buy credit cards have no relationship to Best Buy and it is just advertising for Citibank by putting all their store information on the front of the card; I think it's on the back too; rememember, it is not the fault of Best Buy. It is Citicards fault. Call Citicard....good luck.
Best Buy does not care about their customers who use the "Not Best Buy Card". There has to be a reason. Why would they want customers to shop somewhere else? Is the strategy now, "Best Buy is too good for consumers?" "Best Buy prefers that you pay cash for all purchases?" "Best Buy, we're so rich, we don't have to care about our customers! They keep coming in the front door!" This could be a public relations nightmare for Best Buy. That is why they don't want consumers to talk about how their "real-life problems" originated at a Best Buy store.
I despise how I have been treated by Citibank. I know I post on a forum that is "owned and promoted" by Best Buy. In the corporate world, they set the rules. Most of us understand that corporate wins over consumer at all times in this business environment. I'm sure they will be very happy that this is my last post regarding this matter.
Learn what federal regulations are in place to help you. Stop using the "Not Best Buy card". It is our choice to use them. if you have to shop at Best Buy, use cash or another credit card that is not affialated with "Not Best Buy card".
Sorry about the spelling errors. This laptop was bought at Best Buy. The hard drive was replaced by the "Geek Squad". It was repaired, but some functions no longer work.
Yeeup! I went and bought another computer at Best Buy! It was only a couple of thousands of dollars. I went with a tower! I already have a notebook. Getting away from a laptop was expensive!
I'll have to ponder as to whether I will ever shop at Best Buy again. It is due to the reactions of the moderators; the finger pointing from Citibank and Best Buy and most of all; a lot of my money has been emptied out of my bank account since Citi took over my "Not Best Buy card".
I am not an attorney. I did graduate from college and there is a wonderful member on this forum who has helped me out with the system.
Cheers! I hope this post isnt' pullled since it is designed to mitigate frustration among members of the "Not Best Buy card"

Hello AlwaysWondering-
It certainly sounds as if you have had a bad experience with Citibank regarding your Best Buy credit card, enough so that you’ve chosen to join our community to speak to that dissatisfaction.
When it comes to the Best Buy credit card, the information that you have been given to this point is correct. While the Best Buy logo is on the credit card, Citibank does providing the financing for the card and as such, we have no access to your account, nor any ability to make changes to it. However, this does not mean that we cannot attempt to help our customers with concerns that come up with Citibank. In fact, we welcome feedback about our third party partners regarding the service that they are providing to our customers and when possible, we will try to work as an advocate for the customer with that partner. In the end, any final decision regarding your credit card account is at the sole discretion of Citibank.

Best Buy You SUCK at customer service

I wanted to purchase a Sony PS4 Last of Us remastered bundle online and pick it up in a store, however, none were in stock locally. It showed that it was in stock online for shipping. I did not want to ship an item this expensive to my home and have it sitting outside on my porch all day, so I wanted to order it and ship it to my local store. There appeared to be no way to do that online, so I opened a chat session with Best Buy customer service. After explaining what I wanted to do to this person, they proceeded to ask for SKU numbers and zip codes and to just repeat back to me what I had already told them, that it was not in stock locally. I HAD already established that fact. I told her I wanted it shipped to the store and not to my home and she said you cannot do that. Later that evening, I decided to check the stores in a different city where I was going over the weekend to see if it was in stock and if so, I would be able pick it up then. I was glad to see that it showed the item as being in stock and I placed an order online and selected a store for pickup. I received an order confirmed email and soon after I received a YOUR ORDER IS READY FOR PICKUP email. I was very happy that things were working out so that I could get the Sony PS4 after all because it was a last minute surprise birthday gift for my child. However, things went horribly bad soon after I read the "your order is ready for pickup" email. I was not available to answer the phone and an employee from the store that I had selected for pickup left a message on our machine stating that the Sony PS4 Last of Us bundle that I had ordered was not available and did I want to get something else instead. My child was the one that played the message back and came running asking if I was buying a PS4. Needless to say, I am irate over all of this. I had received an ORDER IS READY FOR PICKUP email, so why did I get that If the order was NOT READY FOR PICKUP?!! Why is one of your store employees calling my house and saying it's not available after I was sent the order is ready for pickup email? I am so angry over that phone call because it ruined the birthday surprise that I had planned for my child. She has been wanting the PS4 since last year and I had purposely made her believe that I wasn't going to get her one. You should realize that people buy things as gifts throughout the year and you should not be calling and leaving messages stating what someone ordered where other family members can hear the message too. Regardless of that, I never should have been getting the phone call in the first place, since I had already received an ORDER IS READY FOR PICKUP email. {removed per forum guidelines} You are the most incompetent retail business that I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. I have ordered from you in the past and the transactions were satisfactory then. The employees at my local store to your credit are knowledgable and friendly, but that is more to do with them, than it is to do with you as an employer. You do not know your own online retail business and you do not offer customers the more secure option of shipping something to their local store instead of to their home. You cannot keep track of the true status of your online transactions. You treat your online customers like they are idiots and do not know how to search for items to see if they are in stock within local stores. Overall, you SUCK at customer service. By the way, I'm canceling this order with you. After I got the phone call from your store employee telling me the PS4 was not available, I went online and ordered it from Walmart instead and I'm picking it up at a local store like I wanted. So that's an almost $500 sale that you lost due to your incompetence. Best Buy YOU are NOT the best buy and you should STOP using the name! Your name should be IDIOTS R US!

Hello msb1107 –
I would like to apologize for the poor experience you had with your order. It’s very regrettable that we caused your daughter’s birthday surprise to be ruined. I’m sure that was not the stores intention when calling to update you of the status of your order, and that they wanted to get a hold of you before coming into the store to find you couldn’t pick up your product.
I am going to reach out to the store on your behalf to find out what happened to cause this error, and to see what can be done to prevent it in the future, as well as any options we may have to help. Please allow me the weekend to get a response from the store, and when I have any new information I will notify via private message. To view your private messages, sign into the forums and click on the yellow envelope on the top right corner of the page.
Again I apologize for anger this has caused. Please reach out to me with any questions regarding this issue.
Sincerely,

Don't use Best Buy Delivery if you are thinking about it...Just lies, lies, and more lies..

Wow, where should I even started?
We brought a 55 in TV from the local store last Sunday, and schedule a delivery yesterday (6/6/2015).
They called us the night before delivery date, to confirm the delivery on Saturday from 1:30- 3:30pm.
We waited until 3pm, and finally received a call saying "they were delayed a little bit", and moved the time to 5:30-6:30pm. Ok, not good, but we can understand.
But of course, they didn't show up on time. We decided to call them again at 6:22pm, and were told they were 45 minutes away...
7:30pm, after a hour, we called them AGAIN, and was told they are 25 mins away.
We had another delivery scheduled from Lowes at 8pm. Lowes showed up on time, and installed our fridge and washer/dryer professionally. They left around 8:30pm.
WHERE IS OUR TV FROM BEST BUY THEN???? Don't they supposed to show up before the Lowes???
We called them again and again, but nobody answered...well, I guess it is a Saturday, and they went home WITHOUT even bother to tell us.
Last time we spoke, you told me you are 25 mins away. Is this a lie? or you just decide to go back to your sweet home after we talk on the phone?!
Sunday (6/7), I called the warehouse again in the morning, but no one answers, the voicemail is full as well (So I think we are NOT the only one experienced this ridicuous issue). Then we called the 1-888 number, and explained what happened. The customer rep on the phone couldn't get hold of the local warehouse neither, and told us to call back within several hours. (They did give us a case number: {removed per forum guidelines} though) We called back before noon, and was told they are not open on Sunday, and they don't know when will be get our TV delivered, maybe Monday morning.
Ok, here is the thing, we have to work Mon- Fri, that's why we requested to deliver on Saturday. And come on, Best Buy, it is just a TV, it is not huge appliances that take you that much time.
I can see why there was delay, ( not saying we were happy about it though...) But you could at least called us to let us know before you went home on our scheduled delivery date!!!! And were all those "45 mins away", "25 mins away" things lies????
Dear Best Buy Coustomer Relations,
I am expecting a responce back from you in a few business days from today, 06/07/15. Your responce should be sartisfying us. If we don't hear anything back from you or your responce to us doesn't satisfy us, then we will go talk to someone higher in your organization. Thank you,

Hello MengyaLiu, and welcome to the forum,
I’m honestly not sure why our delivery team would have told you they were on their way to your home and then not arrive without an explanation as to why. Our delivery agents should be notifying you of all necessary changes in their delivery schedules, as we realize the inconvenience any possible delay may cause, so it’s regrettable to hear we failed you in this regard. I truly apologize for any frustration this oversight may have caused.
While I’ve personally documented your feedback here at the corporate office to ensure something of this nature doesn’t happen in the future, I’m glad to hear our delivery team was able to make this right and successfully delivered your TV yesterday. Please feel free to let us know how it went and if you have any further questions for me. I’ll be glad to help.
Best wishes,

The answer why Best Buy and other places are having problems...

Blame LG Display. Looks like the Retina Display is having problems in production.
http://news.cnet.com/8301-13924_3-20008149-64.html?part=rss&tag=feed&subj=iPhoneAtlas
"The shortage of iPhone 4s as launch day approaches is due to limited supplies of the new Retina display, according to an industry analyst's report. CNET quotes Ashok Kumar, managing director and senior technology analyst at Rodman & Renshaw, as saying that a "production bottleneck" in the IPS LCD screen may continue to late summer. Meanwhile, customers continue to report emails from AT&T telling them that their iPhone 4 pre-orders have been canceled.
In the snowballing EPIC FAIL that is the iPhone 4 rollout, there has been a lot of blame to go around. Server issues were responsible for delay and confusion when the new iPhone first went on sale last Tuesday, and AT&T stopped taking orders early Wednesday due to overwhelming demand. As the rush continued, black iPhones were no longer available for launch day, with ship dates pushed back first to July 2nd and then to July 14th. White iPhones are reported to be delayed to later this summer or even to 2011. It's unclear how long third party retailers will have to wait for supplies, as neither RadioShack nor Best Buy is saying when they will have iPhone 4s in stock. An AT&T rep told a MMi user that Best Buy will not have any iPhones by launch day.
Kumar wrote in a letter to his clients that his "supply chain checks indicate that our earlier monthly shipment estimate of 4 million units have been reset by about half," blaming difficulty with the LCD manufacturing at LG Display, which makes the Retina display for Apple. By late summer, according to Kumar, LG will have upgraded their plants to new fifth-generation technology that will allow them to cut more screens from larger panels.
Apple will probably do fine if they can get supplies up in a few weeks: many if not most of the people who have placed pre-orders will want an iPhone 4 and onlyan iPhone 4. If shortages continue, though, expect increasing numbers of potential iPhone buyers to start looking at other high-end smartphones like the HTC EVO and the upcoming Droid X."
-ModMyi.com

Which is why, as I stated in a previous thread, that Apple should have had on-hand a minimum of 3 million units before even announcing the darn thing and the so-called "pre-order" window should have been open for a month. That would have given them time to move the existing units and be producing more. I love Apple, but what kind of amateur-hour-fisher-price-my-first-product-launch has a one week pre-order window before launch without having a clue as to how many units they would move on launch?

Best Buy shouldn't be allowed steelbooks, as you guys haven't the foggiest idea what you are doing.

I swear everytime I try and go to get a steelbook from Best Buy it makes me hate Best Buy ever so much and never ever ever want to shop there because of how bad you handle this and have no idea what you are doing.
Wanted to preorder Ghost Rider and get the free steelbook but guess what they never even got them in and I checked everyday for a week after being told they were in transit on a Monday and by Wednesday was told they had been deleted by the system. Well one good thing came out of that now I don't even have to bother buying the movie at your store.
Wanted to get the Warner Brothers line of steelbooks that you just came out but guess what just like Ghost Riders none have showed up and everytime I ask I get well 12 our on order for that title and that title and that title.
OH BUT THEY DID SET UP THE DISPLAY THAT SAYS COLLECTIBLE STEELBOOK AND JUST GRABBED AMRAY VERSIONS OFF THE SHELF BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO FRAKING CLUE WHAT THEY ARE DOING, THIS DISPLAY MAKES YOUR STORE LOOK LIKE A BUNCH OF COMPLETE MORONS AND CLUELESS AND THEY WONDER WHY BEST BUY IS CLOSING STORES ITS BECAUSE THEY ARE RAN BY IDIOTS WHO COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS.

Aren't those Steelbooks officially out till like June 6th or something? And I worked in retail before. This may sound dumb, but sometimes they still want you to set up displays even before the items are received. You can't be mad cause they follow direction. They might of been told to fill in the space with items to look full. Honestly you're being upset for no good reason. Yeah, it sucks that you aren't seeing the items you want in stores. These are promo items so not every store will get it. Unless it's advertised in the ad, then you should be upset. If no store has any, order them online. From what I've seen, these extras are usually offered online too.sirdizzy wrote:
Really Best Buy can't take any culibility or credit for what goes on in their stores because they outsource it to another company rather they just make themself look like babooms by having something clearly labeled wrong and misleading on their floor.
Why put out a display that is clearly wrong and misleading, why when its pointed out to you by a customer does that same display remain on the floor (I took that picture yesterday not today and I informed an employee yesterday not today but it was still there today).

Why are none of the Best Buys in my area carrying the Fatal1

I li've in Lonng Island NY. I have called every Best buy out here (got to be about 0 of them) and not one carries the Fatalty card. They all carry the 2 lower end ones though (ExtremeMusic + Platinum). And then to boot you can't order through Creatives own site due to the Exclusi've agreement with Best Buy I am assuming. So if Creative won't sell em cuz Best buy should be and Best Buy's out here are not carrying them how in the hell am I supposed to get one?

Exauilted, trust me, you don't need to spend another $80 for 64 megs of Ram. The platinum model has 00% of the functionality that the Fatalty card has and it sounds awesome. The 64 megs of ram won't make that card sound any better. It might give you one to two more frames per second on a game IF the game was actually written to take advantage of it (of which I seriously doubt any ever will that aren't funded by Creative). If you have a fast computer with a decent graphics card, go get yourself the Platinum card today.

Market Place is a scam! Ridiculous return problems! I feel betrayed an tricked by Best Buy!!!!

I didn't even know there was a Market Place! Until I just tried to return something I purchased online to Best Buy local Store. Imagine my surprise as an Elite PLus Member when they told me I had to contact each vendor individually to return something I purchased from BestBuy.com. Thats when they showed me the teeny tiny little bitty blurb of text on the item page that said sold by xyz company. I'm busy ordering a bunch of stuff online for Xmas. How am I suppose to stop and read every blurp of text on a Bestbuy.com website to see if they changed how they sell stuff they apparently don't offer at Best Buy but is instead sold by shady third persons. I shop at Best Buy because I know Best Buy policy and return procedures. I like their customer service in the local store.
If I wanted to buy crap from third party vendors, then have to pay to send it back to them, I'd buy from a catalog sold at the corner magazine rack. I shouldn't have to endure this sort of process from Best Buy. (removed per forum guidelines) who blatantly shows you that your not buying from (removed per forum guidelines) will handle your problem like you did buy it from (removed per forum guidelines) and even ship it back to (removed per forum guidelines) on their dime!!!!!
I feel what Best Buy did was sneaky, deceptive, and in no way what I'd expect as a long time customer. That fact that I have to find each indiviually seller I purchased from, call or email them to ask for a return request, assuming I don't have to call or email several times to get ahold of them. Then to make me have to pay to return the item??? Becuase I can't take it to a Best Buy store to return it as I have always been able to do?!!!
This is the last time I buy anything online from Best Buy. At least if I buy it in the store I know I can return it if I need to. Not sure I even want shop again with Best Buy after this!!! I already warned all my Friends on Facebook an twitter about what has happened.
I should write a article an post to (removed per forum guidelines) an see if they will run the article so others won't have to endure what I'm going through.
Listen up Best Buy!!! If I wanted to purchase from shady third parties I would!!! But I don't want to. I shop Best Buy because I can return it to the store! If I have a problem or I can call Best Buy customer service an they take care of it. I don't want to deal with some third party shady shop in NY running a business in the subway station on his cellphone.
NOT a happy customer!!! The fact I have so much run around to return two items I purchased from what I thought was my normal Best Buy dot com store an instead was some third party yahoo people who make me pay to return it after three days of trying to get a hold of one of them pisses me off. The fact I still haven't heard from the second vendor after emails and phone calls really annoys me. Even your own customer service can't get ahold of the business. Just a message machine where no one calls you back.
You just lost an Elite Plus Member!!!

- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings>Stoe and sign out and then sign back in
- Power off and then back on the router.
- Reset networks settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
Could just be an Apple problem. So far I have seen another post today with same problem.

What new laptops are coming to Best Buy soon (June or early July)?

Anyone have confirmations or rumors of what new laptops are coming soon to BestBuy?

"Markus" Please read my comments below
That is the exact news I was hoping for. I had one of the 3 blue label laptops with the Intel Wireless Display (Dell 1569). I Loved everything about it, except it was garbage. I had 3 of them. First one, the Media Center crashed and GeekSquad couldnt fix it, second one came with a squeaky mouse button and they replaced it again, and for the third and the worst one. The Wi-Fi card actually burnt and melted the bottom of my laptop plastic (left an indention of my finger print on the bottom of the laptop. Thank goodness, even though the laptop was 2 months old, the manager gave me a full refund in the form of a gift card.)
So, I am basically looking for the same exact type of laptop, but would actually be reliable. The Dell had the Wi-DI, an I5 processor, lighted keyboard, and a lot of other extras. Should we expect to see something compariable coming in that time frame that you mentioned?
Also, not to question your timeframe. but from looking at Intels website, it stated that the 3 blue label laptops that came with the WI-DI (Intel Wireless Display) would start to be at Best Buy stores by January 17th and with them having a 6 month exclusive contract on that technology. Wouldn't that mean that there would not being any new Intel Wireless Display Technology laptops until atleast June 17th?
Lastly, any new laptops coming in that timeframe or a little later (a couple weeks or so) that would be equipped with Nvidia Optimus graphics card? As I read and saw a youtube video showing that the Nvidia Optimus graphics card actually work with the Intel Wireless Display Technology.

Are there people who will buy the exclusive white back cover from Fascinate sold at Best Buy?

I'm getting my Fascinate soon... I have two covers, the original white one, and a spare one bought from Verizon's website.
Note: this is not an offer to sell... so please do not contact me.

iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store

Best Buy needs to reevaluate customer service.

First, let me start by saying that I have always bought all my major appliances and electronics from Best Buy, but that may change soon. On November 30, 2014 I ordered a Whirlpool Convection over the range microwave and a French door Samsung refrigerator. We had the microwave delivered to our house and it arrived on December 9, 2014 with a dent in it. So we returned it to the Avon, IN store where they reordered it delivered to the store so that it wouldn't be damaged. The new one arrived and we got it home to find it also damaged, so we returned it to the store and asked for a refund as we did not have time to deal with it at that moment. Our refrigerator was delivered on Saturday, December 13th. We were first emailed that it would be delivered between 11:30am and 1:30pm, then got a call saying 12:30-2:30pm. When it did not come by 2:30 we called and they said that they always showed it as being delivered between 2:30-4:30pm. The refrigerator was delivered at 6:00pm with no apology. When I called customer service about this the lady told me that yeah in the last year Best a Buy had been going downhill and she wasn't sure why, is that really what you want your reps telling your customers? Then 4 - 6 days later the refrigerator stopped working while my husband and I were out of town on vacation. Our grown daughter found it after it had not been working for a couple of days, everything was spoiled by the time she found it. She called customer service and tried a couple of recommendations but it didn't work and the technician recommended that we request a replacement. I immediately called customer service on December 19th and was told they would deliver a new one on the 20th. My daughter waited and never got a call, so around noon she called and they told her they couldn't possibly deliver it as they did not have it in stock. NICE! I then tried calling customer service several times and kept getting cutoff, so gave up as I was traveling. On the 23rd I spent over a hour and numerous attempts to talk to customer service, I kept getting cutoff and then having to start over the whole process. Finally I got a gentleman who was extremely helpful and my refrigerator is now scheduled to be delivered the 29th between 1:30-3:30, do I really expect it to show - NO! I then asked the gentleman to reorder the microwave that was previously returned at the original $399 price, he was checking but didn't see a problem with that. Guess what, he cut me off when he put me on hold. So here I go again, next customer service person verifies refrigerator is to be delivered on the 29th, nope I still won't believe it until I see it. When I ask about reordering the microwave for the sale price, they said no, even though I had went through the whole story with them. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY ridiculous, I am asking for a $50 price discount for all the troubles I went through and my business isn't worth it to Best Buy. I did not buy it since they couldn't give me the $50 off and I can buy it anywhere at the same price, I will take my business elsewhere. I think you all need to revisit your customer service and what you want to do to retain a valuable customer. If the refrigerator doesn't show up on time tomorrow I won't be here and I will use social media to tell my story.

WildStar and Best Buy's Terrible Customer Support

To Anyone Who Might Read This:
Because I can't seem to get a timely response from anyone through a private message in less than 3 days, because Best Buy phone reps feign ignorance and pass me along from rep to rep like a basketball (last call was for 88 minutes; 5 reps), and because at this point I feel as though my money has been stolen from me, I will resort to posting on your forums with the desperate hope of a reply.
Allow me to frame my comments with the backstory. On May 30, 2014, I purchased a download pre-order of WildStar Online. I paid for the full purchase of the game (59.99). According the Best Buy's online and instore adds, pre-ordering WildStar would give me several bonuses ingame, as well as access to the headstart weekend beginning on May 31. The full game edition would be released on June 3, but of course I had paid in full for the game, so I expected to recieve both the pre-order bonuses as well as the full game client.
According to both my receipt and the online add, I was to recieve the pre-order bonus code by email "shortly" after purchase. I did not. After several hours, I contacted Best Buy by phone, and I was assured that the email address on file was correct and that I should recieve my code soon. The following morning (May 31st), six hours after the headstart bonus I was supposed to recieve had already started, I still did not have any email from Best Buy. At that point, I found this forum, Best Buy Unboxed, and followed the instructions given by the moderators for just this issue. I sent two private messages to BBY which included my customer service pin and the rest of the required information, but by Saturday evening at 8p.m., I still had not recieved a response.
At this point, I called Besty Buy customer service again, as I was missing out on the pre-order bonus that I had paid for, in full, in advance, and had been guaranteed by Best Buy. The first four representatives I spoke to feigned ignorance and passed me along to the next, all with significant hold times. After 84 minutes, I was connected with a so-called online game specialist who told me my pre-order code would be sent to me within 24-48 hours. Perhaps you can see my dilemna here: 48 hours from that point would be approximately 9p.m. on Tuesday, June 2nd, 3 hours before the full release of the game. With registration and the client download, I would effectively miss out on the headstart bonus I WAS GUARANTEED WITH MY PREORDER FROM BEST BUY. And this is exactly what happened.
Once I finally recieved a response from Best Buy Unboxed and an email with my pre-order code, I was able to download and play WildStar for two days. On June 5, the WildStar client prompted me for game time credit, and would no longer allow me to access the game for play. 30 days of playtime comes with all editions of WildStar, so I was initially confused about the prompt, but after a little research I came to find out that Best Buy was supposed to send me two separate codes: A PRE-ORDER BONUS CODE "shortly" after purchase and a "RETAIL CODE" after release on June 3. I HAVE NOT RECIEVE THE RETAIL CODE, SO I CANNOT PLAY THE GAME I PAID BEST BUY IN FULL FOR IN ADVANCE!!!!!!
I sent a new private message about this problem to BBY on this forum yesterday morning (6/6/14), and I have still not recieved a response. Do you guys work on the weekends? I also sent a reply email to Best Buy, using the "reply to" address on the email that contained my pre-order bonus code, but I have still not recieved a response. I cannot think of a logical reason why I can't be given a response within 24 hours from Best Buy, particularly considering I have already paid in full for this product.
I am a long-time, loyal customer of Best Buy, but my confidence in your company has been shaken in recent years. Customer service, within your stores (particularly in Mississippi), is absolutely horrid. You representatives are not in the least bit knowledgeable, and do little more than hound customers for sales--if they aren't too busy huddled in electronics hiding from us. Phone support is equally terrible. I should not have to spend 88 minutes on a phone call and be passed from rep. to rep. to rep. to rep. until someone figurs out how to get an item to me that I have already purchased. It looks like I will now have to add Best Buy's electronic assistance to the list of my terrible customer service experiences, as a 2-3 day response time from you guy is absolutely ridiculous.
Since 2001-2002, I have spent literally tens of thousands of dollars at Best Buy. I have purchased televisions, vcrs, dvd players, blueray players, car stereos, computers, movies, video game consoles, console games, computer games, music, Keurigs, surround sound systems, an Ipad Mini, an ASUS pad.....I could go on and on. Considering my loyalty to your company, considering that the first place I want to go whenever we travel to a city that has a Best Buy is your store, considering all the money I have spent with you guys over the years.....this situation, your inability to get my the darn RETAIL CODE FOR WILDSTAR that I have already paid for, well, it just pisses me off to no end.
I am beyond frustrated. I feel as though Best Buy has stolen my money. Could you, actually would you (because I know you can) send me the merchandise that I have already paid for, and help to restore some of my faith in Best Buy?
Thanks.
TLR----Read the whole thing. You guys (BB reps) owe me that much, at least. It won't take a fraction of 88 minutes, I assure you.

Hello SEpowell,
Purchasing a digital download should be a quick, easy and painless process -- not a trying ordeal like you described -- so your frustration is certainly understandable. I'd be upset too if I found myself waiting an extended period of time for a product key, especially if there was any confusion regarding who might be able to help me find a solution.
I've sent you some information, so please make sure to check your private messages when you have the chance to do so. As always, you can check your PMs by signing into the forum and then clicking on the letter icon in the upper right-hand corner of the page.
For future reference, customers can typically expect a moderator response within 2-3 business days (not including weekends or major holidays). Sending duplicate private messages to multiple moderators will not result in a faster turnaround time. If you are in need of immediate assistance with a digital download, please call 1-888-BEST-BUY (1-888-237-8289) and ask to speak with our Digital Library team.

DO NOT BUY IPODS FROM FUTURESHOP OR BEST BUY

The warranty policy for both are ridiculous. They charge the same amount as Apple does. Get this, they don't even touch any ipods that need service for the first year. On top of that, any repairs that are made to the IPOD after the one year manufacturer's warranty will end once the IPOD is replaced once. They do not repair IPODs they simply have you pay $60-90 for a warranty that they hope you never use. You are better off getting the Apple Protection Plan for the same amount, and it covers 2 years and the warranty is transferred to any new IPODs for the remainder of the protection plan.

You must've had a great sales man.
"$50 buys me:
- instant exchanges for the first 30 days at least (I bet my local store would go way beyond that)
- they will repair or replace the item while the apple warranty is in effect as many times as needed (and if I'm not happy there is a chance they will simply exchange for a new one)
- after the first year, they will replace the ipod once if needed "
1) You have no chance at returning anything at Best Buy after 30 days. At any of the stores I've worked at they are super d*cks about returns. Best Buy is EXTREMELY competitive and hate margin loss (returns).
2) Each time BBY has to repair something it will take at least 30 days (and up to 2 months during the holiday season). Think about that. If you have three problems with the iPod that's going to be a third of the year you're not eve going to have the thing. Also, they don't care if you're satisfied or not with the iPod. If a Geek Squad rep. sees that it works he'll make you take it back. Only the forth time you bring an item in for service will you get a new one (lemon law).
3. Going back to the service issue -- After you bring an item in to be fixed after the manuf. warranty is up, you only have one chance to get it fixed. It takes 4 chances to get a new (service) item.
Like I stated before -- if you buy any other type of MP3 player (other than an Apple based one) at BBY you won't have to deal with that whole service issue. Stick to Apple Care my friend.

Best Buy restrictions are ridiculous
