For order {removed per forum guidelines} which delivered to me on 11/4, I used the prepaid label with tracking #{removed per forum guidelines} to return. Two agents have confirmed through online chat that the return was delivered on 11/11, but I was told that I need to keep waiting for the return to be processed although it had been 10+ days since the return was delivered. 

I am not waiting any longer for my 2,799.99 refund! Maybe I should not purchase on bestbuy at the first place!

I notified the moderators of your full order and tracking numbers.  Please refrain from posting personal details such as this as anyone can read this, including people who do not have accounts and are not logged into the forums.  This could be a potential risk to you and Best Buy.

Like you, the two agents have confirmed that the item was delivered onto a dock at the returns center on 11-11.  Due to the extreme number of online orders during this COVID-19 pandemic, returns are taking longer than normal.  I am not sure how up to date the stickied topic is on the matter, but it mentions processing returns can take up to 15 business days. You can refer to that here:

Are you saying that bestbuy will definitely process my return before the 15th business days arrives? Of course it will take up to 15 business days, isn't that bestbuy should at least try to resolve the concern that customers have especially when the return involves 2k+ purchase?

I would not even have to post here if the online customer service chat or phone agents could provide any useful information regarding the return besides "you will see your refund in one billing cycle".

[jdogg836]

They provide answers based on the limited details they have.  The employees at the call center are not the same ones in the returns center processing the returns.  

I can't say it will be processed within 15 days, but as the link I provided you states that after 15 days follow the steps to contact a moderator so they can look into it.  As for why they aren't rushing to process your return....all brown shipping boxes with return labels look the same.  There is no way to find it among the others, and they are processed first in, first out to be fair to everyone.  In the future, it would be advisable to return the item to a store if you'd like the process to go quicker.  The returns center is overburdened due to the sheer number of people ordering online, and by the same token more returns than they are used to as well.

Hi, Starabbit, and welcome to our online community!

Thank you for posting on our forum for support with your recent return. While jdogg836 provided great insight into our current process, I will reiterate the information he already provided in terms of our time frame. Due to the increase in mailed returns, it can take around 15 days for our returns center to process a return after it arrives at the facility. I understand this may not be ideal, and I encourage you to keep an eye on your email for further communication on your return status.

If you still haven't received a notification after Thursday, please let us know here. If have any other questions or concerns please let us know as well.

Regards,

Hi Allison, no notification/update on this since I post here. My bank is going to charge me an interest on this purchase shortly. Please investigate what is going on here. All the retailers are experiencing high volumes during this time, but bestbuy seems to be the one that struggles most. Maybe there is another reason other than the volume of the sales. Please investigate. I want my 2.9k+ refund back!

Hi Allison, can you take a look at the return?? No update on the return so far. I am going to dispute if nobody is taking if this return.
