I purchased a phone on 10/3. I was uncertain about the purchase and was not going to be in town for long. I was hesitant on spending $1500 on an expensive phone with only a 14-day return policy, because I was in the midst of traveling and wouldn't be able to return.
I was told REPEATEDLY, confirmed multiple times by the sales rep, that signing up for the My Best Buy membership ($50) would extend the return policy to 60 days, and I could return it at any Best Buy location.
I attempted to return the phone at a different store later, after about 40 days, and was told that the return policy is only 2 weeks on phones... So I was lied to. I am now out $1500 going into the holiday season when I decided I want something cheaper.
I have been attempting to get this corrected. My local store said they couldn't help me, and I should call corporate. I called corporate and was told they couldn't do anything because it was purchased in the store, and I should call the store. I called the store... And got connected to corporate. I requested to speak to a manager, was told she would be in and call me back "in two hours" -- and now, 4 hours later, have received no call.
I attempted to use the chat feature online. I was told they could not help, and I should go speak to the manager of the original store -- this one, in Victor NY. I live 2000 miles away, and I can't make it to the store.
Spoke to a supervisor. Spoke to the supervisor's supervisor. Was told the best they can do is request a callback from the original store that I purchased from, which would be completed "within 4 hours." I requested email confirmation, a way to return to speaking with management, SOMETHING -- and got nothing. Now, 4 hours later, I still haven't received a call.
I am beyond upset, because this entire situation stems simply from a Best Buy employee giving me blatantly false information, and now I'm being given the run-around trying to find someone, ANYONE, who can help me make this right.
I would advise against shopping at Best Buy; their employees clearly aren't well-informed, and their customer service/support is severely lacking.
Edit: I reached out to Best Buy via the channels provided and was given the answer (apparently from the "corporate office") that they are able to refund the My Best Buy membership ($50) but are not able to facilitate a return for the phone, meaning I am still out more than $1600 based on false information provided to me by a Best Buy employee. It has been about 24 hours and I have not received a call from the original store as planned. This has been perhaps the most disappointing experience I've EVER had as a customer of ANY establishment.
