Hello BBY team,

I recently recieved a package from UPS. When I opened the box, there were 2 empty iPad boxes. It seems someone tampered the box, stole them items, re-taped it during the transit. I tried to initiate a case with Best buy team but they sent me an email and asked me to work with UPS/local law agency to resolve this issue.

I also inititated a claim with UPS and came to know that they approved the claim. As per UPS, I should recieve a refund or a replacement and UPS will refund to Best Buy. There is no way UPS can refund me directly unless they recieve a release form from the Best Buy. I tried to call Best Buy customer service but couldn't get any help.

This is clearly Best Buy/UPS issue and I shouldn't be suffering in this issue. I didn't recieve my item and Best Buy is clearly not willing to help even though the claim is approved. 

Can you guys please help me in this regards?

Best Buy cannot replace your stolen iPads until they get refunded by UPS. It is also a security measure on the part of UPS to avoid scammers who may initiate a false claim.  

Things like this are done in this way to protect the seller and the buyer.

As per UPS, based on their investigation they approved the claim and sent information to Best Buy. UPS don’t refund to receiver directly. It is Best Buy’s responsibility to refund me and claim it from the UPS (UPS already approved it)

At this point, Best Buy is telling me to work with UPS directly and UPS is saying they don’t refund to receiver directly. It has to be Best Buy or unless they send them a release form to refund to the receiver directly. I am confused how to get it resolved even though the UPS claim is approved.

I am really disappointed by the way Best Buy is handling this situation. My UPS claim is approved but don't know why Best Buy is not cooperating.

Hello Best Buy team,

So as you guys suggested, I contacted the UPS team and they said that the investigation is completed and sent to The Best Buy team. They asked me to contact you for further steps. May I know the finding of UPS team?

Here is the status on their website:
