Delivery & Installation

[damudave]

I ordered a fridge, washer, and dryer on Feb 1 to be delivered on Feb 20.  On Feb 18 an email from BB said the washer wouldnt be delivered until May 22nd.

I spent 2.5 hours on the phone and on chat.  In the end a guy named Cristian was able to save the day and get another fridge delivered on the 23rd of Feb, but then later I noticed he cancelled the whole order and now I'm not getting the washer or dryer either.

After all that... I just can't with you Best Buy.  Just can't. Can you count the agents below?  I wasn't able to copy the end in and then the transcript failed to send.  SO sad.

Welcome to our forums, damudave,

From what you’ve posted here, this is far from the experience we hope our customers will when interacting with our chat support teams, so I can’t say I blame you for your frustration up to this point.

I’d like to make sure we’re getting you in touch with the appropriate team to look into the issue with your appliance order further, however, I’ll need to gather a few pieces of additional information from you in order to do so.  If you could use the blue “Private Message” button in my signature to send me:

• Your first and last name
• Your phone number
• Your email address

• Your order number

As mentioned, you’ll want to use the blue “Private Message” button in my signature to get this information sent my way, and if you’re accessing our site on a mobile device, you may need to switch to “Full” or “Desktop” view before this button is visible to you.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

[damudave]

awesome.... So I got to reply to the message above and apparently I've reached my maximum amount of messages I'm allowed to send.  What's the maximum Best Buy???? Zero???  What a scam.  I can't believe you guys are still wasting my time.  Literally I will NEVER buy a single item from best buy again.  If you can't walk in, pick it up, and physically hold it... you're probably going to have issues.  Stop wasting my time

Welcome back to our forums, damudave,

If the issue you’ve run into persists, I recommend logging out of your Support Forum account, clearing your browser history or cache, logging back in, and attempting to send your message once more.  If you still have issues after taking these troubleshooting steps, I recommend reaching out to our Geek Squad directly at 1-800-433-5778, so they might look into this appliance order further.

Regards,
