No customer service
I purchased an $250.00(cash) for an open boxed camcorder for my ministry. Because it was an open box I specifically asked the associate that sold it to us about the return policy. I asked will I be able to get a refund if I am not happy with it or something is wrong with it. He said Oh sure! you have 10 days no problem just keep your sales receipt, and we will give you a full refund. After I got the camera home and checked it over good I realized it did not have a feature I really needed so I decided to return it back to the store. To my surprise the cashier informed me that she could only give me $100.00 of my money now and mail the rest in 7 to 10 days. Needless to say I was very upset since they did not have another camera with the feature we needed that would fit our budget. The cashiers response to me was the policy is on the back of the receipt. I explained to her that I had asked the sales associate about the return policy before I purchased the camera, and that he had told me I could get a full refund, and that he did not mention anything about the policy stating that I could only get a portion of my money back, and have to wait for the rest to be mailed. And also that I did not have any way of knowing what was on the back of that receipt until after I made my purchase. Once again she stated it is on the back of your receipt. At that time I asked to speak to the store manager (Chris).

I explained the transaction to Chris, and his response was the same (it's on the back of the receipt) at that time I explained to Chris that I had no way of knowing whats on the back of the receipt until after I make the purchase. I also told him I that the sales associate should have told us when we asked the day we purchased the camera. Chris at that time said in a rude tone I do not have time to take 30 minutes to explain our return policy, and he walked off.

I told the cashier that he was rude, and that I would never shop HHGregg again. I informed her that their return policy stinks, and that they should post it where customers can see it before they make their purchase. That it wrong to not inform a customer of the return policy before the purchase.

I called customer service to make a complaint about Chris and his rude careless attitude, poor customer service, and their return policy and their method of informing or not informing the customer until after the purchase has been made. I got the same treatment from them the lady was rude and insisted that the return policy is on the back of the receipt. PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME WHATS SO HARD ABOUT UNDERSTANDING THAT THE CUSTOMER DOES NOT SEE THAT BLESSED RECEIPT UNTIL (AFTER) THEY HAVE MADE THE PURCHASE!!!

I could not seem to get these people to understand that. I think it is wrong, it is deceptive, and misleading to not inform their customers that they will not receive all the refund at the time of return if it is over 100.00.

INTEREST RATE
I have many credit card accounts with far lower interest rates. Please check my history with this acoount and you will see that I have met my payments ahead of scheduled time and always more than was required. Please review my credit history and see if a my satisfactory interest rate can be appiled oor I will be forced to payoff this account by using a lower interest rated account and close it.

Awful company
I recently went to HHGREGG to exchange a camera that I had gotten as a gift, it just wasn't the one I wanted. When I got there I was swarmed by salesman as usual. Once I mentioned I wanted to exchange the camera they literally walked away leaving me standing alone. After awhile I found what I was looking for and had to go ask two separate people to help me. When I was paying for the items(I bought some accessories as well) I was told the camera was out of stock but it would be in the truck on the following Wed.

I called Wed. to insure it was there before I drove there, it was not.I was told there was no room on the truck for my camera, how big could this camera have been that it could not fit on a huge truck?I was told by the CSR it would be an additional 7-10 days but she could not say for sure. When I asked to speak to the manager I was on hold for over five minutes even though I just heard him talking to the csr.He told me quite rudely either wait the 10 days, go to Eastgate Ohio(over 30 miles away) to pick it up or return it. I found that shocking because all total My husband and I had spent over $1500 at the store that day.The manager could not have cared less that we were upset over the wait time. My daughter has her fist violin recital this weekend and I was looking forward to using my new SLR camera. I even filed a complaint at the company web-site, I quickly got back an e-amil that said a member of management would be calling shortly to discuss my problem. It has been two days, no camera, no call, I am not holding my breathe. My guess is that HHGREGG will be the next specialty store to bite the dust, the service is absolutely terrible once they have your money.

Fraud and cheating
I carefully planned a big 25th anniversary surprise for my husband, spending 3 hours in Hhgregg on Black Friday selecting, ordering and setting up delivery on a big screen TV (67' Samsung DLP). I was told it was in stock and ready to be delivered whenever I wanted. I also applied and was approved for their 24 months-same-as-cash financing. I arranged for it to be delivered on the 18th of December while my husband and I were on our anniversary trip. I gave them my son's cell phone to call for delivery time. I called two more times before we left on the trip to confirm the delivery and was told each time the TV would be delivered on that day. My son called me the night of the 18th and told me no one had called to deliver the TV. I asked him to call the next day to deliver it before we arrived home on the 20th. He couldn't find anyone who knew anything about the delivery. We walked in the door with me anticipating the surprise, and there sat our old TV. I called on the 21st and talked to three different people before I could even find anyone who could check on anything for me. That person said they didn't understand why it was arranged to deliver that TV because it wasn't in stock and they didn't know if they would ever have it in stock again! He blamed it on the salesman and said he didn't work there anymore, but it was the manager who arranged the delivery and even said it would be delivered free because it took so long to set it up! They wanted to know if I would wait while it was backordered and I said no, cancel the order. I was so upset and crying. It was three days before Christmas and I had nothing for my husband because that was supposed to cover both anniversary and Christmas. To add insult to injury, I was going through the mail that came while we were on the trip and, low and behold, the first payment is due on the TV I didn't get!

Terrible company
On Sunday Dec 29th 2008 I went to hhgreg to purchase a range. The sale was made and I set up the delivery for this coming Friday. I put my old range on Craig's List and sold it in one day. Great now I had only to wait a few day for my new range. Wrong! When I called the store to see if I could get it delivered a few days early I was told it was not going to be delivered on Friday or another day within the next two weeks, because it was not in stock. I asked why I was told it was in stock, no one had an answer.

I first talked to a man who seemed very helpful, he said he would talk to the store manager and have him call me back. After three hours I decided to call again and this time I spoke to a lady who told me I had to talk to the salesman who had sold me the range and he would be able to see what could be done. She said he was busy but would call me back. She claimed she would tell him what my problem was and she was sure he could help me somehow.

After an hour I called back and this time I was told my salesman was busy with customers and that was why he had not called me back. I explained I was a customer and needed a stove to cook on, would not have sold mine if I knew I had to wait a few weeks for a new one! She told me he would call me. After another thirty or forty minutes I called back and found out the salesman had no idea about what was going on... after four people told me they were handling it! He hen told me he would get back to me and see what could be done. He did call back and tell me I could have the floor model...great I needed a stove but the floor model not my idea of a new stove. Maybe they would make some kind of compensation? Oh no they could not do that! this floor model or you wait. What customer service!

I spend an entire day on the phone talking to people who did nothing for me andas far as I am concerned the right foot doesn't know what the left foot is doing in that store..as far as a store manager I doubt one exist!

Unauthorized charges
This complaint concerns the treatment I received from Chris, the store manager, and his staff at the hhgregg location in Gastonia, NC during my attempt to purchase a Wii bundle featured in their ad for Black Friday 2008.

I lined up at 2:15 AM and was number 4 in line. Since the customers ahead of me were purchasing TV's and appliances I felt comfortable that I would secure this item for my son's Christmas. When the doors opened at 5 AM I promptly entered the store and secured a Wii bundle. I then proceeded to pick up a 7" digital photo frame for my in-laws. I scouted the store to find the touch screen mp3 player that was advertised, but as these had sold out I entered the check out line at the front of the store.

Two customers ahead of me a gentleman had his hhgregg card declined. The manager working this area berated the customer, refusing to discuss the issue and abruptly told the customer he did not have time to discuss the issue.

When my turn came to be checked out the cashier (a blonde woman, I am unsure of her name, possibly Amanda or Amber) rang up my items and swiped my hhgregg card. She encountered an error code that said approval needed. She then swiped the card again and informed me that I had an available credit balance of $138. Incredulous I informed her that I had checked my balance on Thanksgiving and had available credit of $600 from a $2000 credit limit, and I made a payment that same day.

The response from the cashier was that GE Money must have reduced my credit limit, citing the recent credit crunch, etc. I was then handed a paper voucher for the Wii bundle by the same manager I previously described, and I stated that I would step out of line to contact GE to resolve the credit line issue.

I spent the next 2 hours (5:30 AM to 7:30 AM) before I could reach a live operator and GE Money. I tried use the automated system to increase my credit line so that I could purchase the bundle but was unsuccessful.

During this time I spoke to several store employees and with Chris the manager. I expressed my displeasure, yet no one offered an attitude beyond well it is GE's fault. Around 7 AM Chris informed me that they had sold out of the Wii bundles. I was enraged at this point because I held a voucher for the same, and I had never left the store so that I would not lose the right to purchase it. Chris claims that I stated I was leaving. This was a bald face lie as I had stated that due to my treatment with having my credit line reduced I would not patronize hhgregg again, a statement I remonstrated stronger after I had been told the Wii bundles were sold out.

At 7:30 AM I was able to speak to a live operator at GE Money who informed me that the reason I had $138 of credit line remaining was that I had made a $469 purchase on 11-28-08. I repeated that I had not made a purchase to which the operator stated a charge was made at hhgregg this morning. I told the operator I would speak to the store staff because I had not successfully completed any purchase.

I returned to the check out line where I dealt with the cashier I had dealt with in my first attempt to purchase the Wii bundle. I explained to her what the operator at GE had told me. She had no record of a successful transaction on her computer for my account and called GE and was told of the approved transaction. I demanded that the charge be removed from my account so that I would have my proper credit line available which was accomplished.

The part of this situation was truly pisses me off is that they refused to hold a bundle for me despite handing me a voucher for the same (the digital picture frame I had was sold from behind the counter too). No one in the store ever said they were sorry as they were too busy trying to shirk the blame.

As my parting shot I informed Chris the manager that he had permanently lost a customer and that I would inform my family and friends not to patronize hhgregg. He was genuinely unconcerned or unimpressed.

After I left the store I called hhgregg's corporate offices to register my displeasure at the lack of concern or apology from the store personnel. The person I spoke to was unhelpful and unsympathetic. They would not even call the store to register my complaint or could not locate a Wii bundle for sale in another local store.

Prior to today I had had decent experiences purchasing LCD TV's from the Gastonia store. This was despite the two returned dryers my parents had suffered at the hand of the staff from the same store. I had been willing to give this store and staff benefit of the doubt, but any goodwill I once harbored has been expended in this fiasco.

purchase of appliance
On the 29th of Dec 2008 we purchased a Range from hhgregg. I was told it would be delivered the following Friday. I went home and listed my old stove on craigs list and sold it the next day. I then called hhgregg because they bragg about having a next day delivery service so I thought maybe I could get the range delivered befor the following Friday. I was told Good Luck that range was on back order and would not even be in stock until Jan 8th. I then asked to speak to the store manager. I was told he was unavailable but I did speak to a very nice man named Jeff who offered to talk to the store manager and have him get back to me. No one called me back, after three hours so I called them back. I was directed to a woman who listened to my story and then told me she would have my salesman call me back. I waited about an hour and called again. I again asked for a manager but was told my salesman could handel the problem, I said great but why is he not calling me back. I was told he was busy with customers. I explained I was a customer and wanted to be helped also. I was assured he would call back . Twenty minutes later I called again and was actually able to speak to the salesman who helped me. He said no one told him anything about the problem I was having. This is after I spoke to four people who were handeling it!I explained I had company coming the following week and needed some kind of range to cook on. He then told me he would talk to the store manager and then he would call me back. my salesman Chris, did call me back in ten minutes and tell me I was going to get the stove on Friday as planned but it would be the floor model. I then asked if they would discount it since it was a floor model. He sid he would ask the manager and get back to me. I called him back after thirty minutes and he said he thought everything was taken care of . I said it was except I was wondering if his manager was going to do anything to sweeten the bad situation, after all the floor model was not my idea of a great purchase. I was told no discount would be given, I had to take the floor model or wait two weeks or more! I was told I would be sendt an email from the salesman giving me a 20% discount on my next purchase...needless to say he said he would do that right away and that was over an hour ago and still no email. I am sure my next magor purchase will not be make at hhgregg. I felt the left foot did not know what the right foot was doing and I felt the situation called for some kind of compensation for taking the floor model should have been given, reguardless of the fact it was on sale when I purchased it. If I had known it was not in stock I would not have sold my old range. I wonder what would have happed on Friday if I had not called . Would I have waited patiently for my range with no range insight!

poor communication; horrible customer service/support from store manager
my first and last time purchasing anything at hhgregg; should had walked away when the sales person attending me left me to help a couple. After waiting for him for more than 20 minutes got someone else to help me. I spent over $1.600 so don't think wasted anyone's time particularly in this economy. As I was paying for my purchse the 1st sales person asked me if I bought anything and when I told him, yes a stove and a refrigerator he said "I left because was not sure you were serious about buying anything"

My "biggest" problem began at delivery; only 1 of the 2 items purchased was delivered and neither the drivers or warehouse could tell me what happened to the refrigerator I purchased. Called store and the person that answered the phone got very defensive, almost aggresive. I asked to speak to soemone else and the manager was not much better; it appears the staff at hhgregg are trained not to take any responsibility but instead they get very defensive and very rude and it appears hhgregg should spend more time training their management staff to provide better customer service/support. After all of that, the wrong refrigerator was delivered (after 2 days) so I refused delivery and when I called the store they, again, got extremelly defensive to the point of sounding very aggresive before they even gave me the chance to explain. The store I am complaining about is the hhgregg in Smyrna, GA.

Bad, bad experience.

Bad service
We purchased a small refrigerator that was on sale from the HHGregg store in Piqua, OH. It's been one big hassle. I am 65 years old, and it's a 50+ mile round trip.

The hassle began when I called to see if it was in stock, they said it wasn�t, and I'd have to come in and pay for it, before they'd order it. They wouldn't take my credit card over the phone. So I drove over and paid cash.

When it came in, I called and asked if they'd deliver it. They told me I had to come in first and pay for the delivery, (Evidently, they would not trust me to pay the delivery man). So I called a friend, and we went to pick it up instead.

When I got it home, it was defective, it wouldn't cool. I called the store, they told me to call the service center, who told me I'd have to call the manufacturer. I called them, they said they'd send someone out to fix it.



After no one came to fix it in the next five days, I called the store back. I talked to the manager this time. He said he'd order me a new one, but I had to bring this one back, before he'd order it. That would be two more trips over and back. But I said OK.

The next morning my wife and I decided to just get our money back, we�d had enough hassle already. When I got to the store, I told the manager I just wanted a refund. He got a little pissy, and said that�s not what we agreed on last night. I told him I changed my mind, we�d been hassled enough.

He said he�d give me a refund, but he had the right to charge me a 20% restocking fee. (That was about $54.00.) I asked him how he could charge a restocking fee when he sold me defective merchandise. He said I should have read the back of the invoice. I said I�d pay the restocking fee, just write it up. When I asked for the cash back, he said they�d send a check in the next 7 to 10 days, he said they also had the right do this as it was also stated on the back of the invoice.

Before I walked out of the store, I told him he was going to get a little publicity. I�d write the Attorney General, Better Business Bureau, and post this on several web sites. He didn�t seem to care.

Not Delivering items I paid for
On 11/28/2008 I bought a flat panel TV along with a TV stand, and paid $69.99 for the DS1 Deluxe delivery set to be delivered on Friday the 28th. At 1:30 pm Friday I hadn’t heard anything so I called the store to inquire about it. Needless to say I had one person to hang up on me, another just put me on hold. One person told me it was at the warehouse and she would call me back when she found out what was going on with it. I told her ok and I waited for an hour and didn’t hear back, so I went back to the store and spoke with the manager it was about 3:30. I told him about what was going on he called the warehouse and they told him they show it being delivered on Saturday the 29th not Friday the 28th. Now they’re telling me due to someone screwed up it being delivered on Saturday. Then Friday night about 8:35 the manager calls me and tells me it’s not going to be delivered on Saturday! I paid a total with the delivery cost, of $1612.86 I paid and arranged for it to be delivered on Friday the 28th. How long do I halve to wait to get my items that HH Greg has, and don’t want to Deliver. I feel that if I don’t get immediate attention on I should pass this along to Clark Howard and Channel 2 Randy Travis.
