Best Buy advertises products at a certain price, but just before checkout, they raise the price. I have screenshots to back this up. The item was in my cart at the advertised price, but when I went to pay, the price had increased (not due to tax). It was a significant increase, a whopping 40%. I reached out to Best Buy, and they explained that the price had gone up while I was trying to complete my purchase, leaving them powerless to help. The representative I spoke with acknowledged my frustration, but mentioned that their manager insisted I would have to pay the new, higher price. This is just one example of the numerous instances of poor customer service from Best Buy, prompting me to end my relationship with them and their Blockbuster-esque treatment of customers. They seem to think they are too large to fail, disregarding the impact of one customer in the larger context. This is a dreadful company with no moral compass, and I look forward to witnessing their decline into the same misguided path that Blockbuster followed. There used to be over 5,000 Blockbuster video stores; now, there is only one. Best Buy has just over 1,000 stores (as of 2026). They have also failed on an international scale, similar to Blockbuster, and soon we Americans will see what this company truly is and stop falling for their shady practices
