GREENVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA -- Biggest bunch of idiots i've ever met. No need to go into detail. The other comments echo my experience with these bozos. My concern is how anybody can write a review and give 5 stars. Only someone that works there. Smh....You been warned!

WOODSTOCK, GEORGIA -- My 60" high def smart TV took a power surge on June 15, 2016. It was reported to hhgregg and z tech from Golden In House Service showed on June 21. Tech determined the main circuit board needed to be replaced, but also stated that particular board is not available and the TV should be replaced. No contact of any kind until I called on 6/28, 6/29 & 6/30. Apparently the tech report did not get sent to hhgregg until I repeatedly called.

Today, 7/05 I went to the store where the TV was purchased and was told by the manager that were trying to locate the part that I was told 3 times before that it was an old model and no longer available. The manager said there was nothing he could do and that once they found the part some decision would be made to either replace the board or replace the TV or give me in-store credit and that a lot that would probably take at least 2 more weeks to get the problem resolved. At this point, I am looking at a total of around 3 to 4 weeks just to get a TV (which is still under the 5 year warranty) problem resolved.

hhgregg apparently does not care about resolving the problem in a timely manner, just slowly going through their "processes" no matter how long the Customer has to wait. This is totally unacceptable. Add to that the indifferent/uncaring attitude the store manager displayed and this situation has totally get turned me off from ever buying anything from this company in the future. Now I am told they found the replacement board - this after the manager looked up the part and said it could not be found. I recommend NEVER going through hhgregg to everyone one who is looking for a TV.

OHIO -- I cannot begin to tell you HHGregg how incredibly disappointed I am in your company as a whole, the way you train (or should I say DON'T train) your salespeople and that you are perfectly fine with misleading your customers about warranties and how they are honored (or should I say NOT honored).

My husband purchased a very expensive TV ($3500) from you on February 15, 2014 from your North Olmsted Ohio store. The only one left was the floor model. He was very concerned about the hours of use already on it but there were no more in stock. He told the salesperson he'd purchase the floor model but needed the 5 year warranty added in, INCLUDED in the sale price. The sales person said "No problem, my manager said we can do that."

When the invoice/transaction was actual put into the system the actual sale price of the TV was reduced by the amount of the 5-year warranty because the sales person said that's just how they have to document it because the system won't process a warranty without a dollar amount attached to it. The sales person specifically said, "Don't worry about it though. It won't impact your warranty at all." (LIAR).

Now, silly us for believing we should be able to trust what he told us as the truth. Why should we expect honesty and integrity right??? So, lo and behold we start having trouble with the TV. After multiple calls to the warranty co. (Warrantech Corp) and being referred to repair shops five states away! We finally found a repair guy to come look at the TV who's actually located in Ohio.

Good News!!! He believes it can be fixed and will call the warranty company to let them know. Call back from the repair guy, Bad News! The warranty company has decided they won't pay for the repair that they'll give us store credit for a replacement TV. Sounds like good news, right. WRONG, the amount of "credit" we get to replace the TV is only the amount of the line item for "purchase price" because $649 had been pulled out and placed on the warranty line. We don't get "credit" for that (even though we paid for 5 years of warranty and it went bad after only less than 18 months).

So my husband agreed to buy a $3500 floor model TV but now when it went bad and the warranty company doesn't want to pay for it to be fixed (even though the repair guys says it can be fixed) we only get "store credit of $2649. After several hours of time calling your customer service department and several incompetent people telling us there's nothing they can do we're screwed. ALL we want at this point is the money back, NO STORE CREDIT, because WHY would we ever want to purchase something from HHGreg again after this horrific experience?

GLEN BURNIE, MARYLAND -- Took a TV into the hhGregg Glenn Burnie, MD store three times for the same problem, 'no sound on the output sound-bar jacks'. They check it out the first time and agreed, No Sound. They gave me another TV. I asked if we should check it before leaving and the answer was 'no'. I was the only one to report such a problem. Took it home and the TV has the same problem as the first. I took it back again (28 mile one way trip) and plan to leave the TV and have the replacement checked before taking it home. One sales guy in a red shirt told me I couldn't leave it but the manager had me sign a form and said it would be checked and ready when I returned after work.

I went back to the store to find the TV had not been touched. The manager at the time ** sent a sales guy over to check it out and when I asked him if he knew the problem he said the TV did not work. I explained the TV worked but there was no sound on the output jacks. He hooked the TV up, sound came from the TV speaker and he said the TV was fine and worked correctly. I again said, "The problem is with the out-put jacks for the sound bar. Another sales clerk comes over, the one from earlier. He tells me the TV does not have an optical output and they could not test it. The TV had both a co-ax and headphone output jack.

I walked over and brought a small speaker to them and told them all they had to do was to get a cord and hook the speaker up. It could not have been any easier unless I did it myself. The manager **said she would not open up a $4.99 cord to test the TV. Now remember, this is my fourth time back and I now have driven over 150 miles. I should mention that we have spent well over $7,000 in the last two years at HHGregg but HHGregg could not open a $4.99 cable in order to test the TV.

OH, and when I called the district manager, he said because I became upset and yelled, I could shop else where. WE WILL. Then I just had a call from hhGregg Corp. from a woman that was a gutter mouth. Great Company and wonderful Customer Service. SHOP BEST BUY.

Terrible Installation

MIDLOTHIAN, VIRGINIA -- This is the worst customer service I have ever had from any retailer for any purchase. It was my first time ever buying from HH Gregg. I wanted to get a new gas stove from Lowe's, but they could not deliver before Thanksgiving. So I tried HH Gregg. The same exact model as Lowe's cost $200 more here. I asked if they did price matching and they said they did. They went to their computer and showed me they were the same price. I showed them a picture of the stove with sign and they proceeded to tell me that isn't the same one.

Funny it had the same model number. They said they could deliver it the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and install, so I decided to go with it. I had 11 people traveling for Thanksgiving dinner. The sales person was very nice but must have been new as it took him 45 minutes to ring up the order. We had to go out of town for a family emergency so I arranged for my 22 year old son to be there for delivery. He works night shift so he was pretty out of it when they did the install. It was terrible and they left it 6 inches from the wall with the gas line kinked up between the stove and wall.

It took 4 phone calls and me having to send pictures to the Manager to get the install team to come back. He showed up the next day and got it about 2 inches from the wall and gave me the excuse that new ranges weren't allowed to be flush with the wall for safety issues. When I came home later that night I smelled gas and immediately called HH Gregg. They told me it was too late to do anything and I should just turn off the gas.

Don't ever buy anything from this company if you don't want your house to blow up from a gas leak. Once they have your money you are dead to them. I guess they think you will only need one major appliance and don't worry about your future business. I have a $50 gift card for them as part of a promotion for this stove that I will never use. Nor will I give it to anyone that I care about due to the lack of concern over the gas leak their installer left me with.

Mistakes & Terrible Customer Service

FORT WAYNE, INDIANA -- This has actually been a couple years ago now, but it still infuriates me considering we paid so much for our washer and dryer. We placed our order for a Bosch washer and dryer and were so excited. It was our first big purchase as husband and wife (we are dorks I know). We enjoyed our salesman and purchased a 5 year warranty and set a delivery date and time. My husband took a day off work to be home for the delivery and installation. Well, they never came. Upon some investigation, it turned out our set was damaged during transit from the warehouse and they'd set another date.

So my husband again took a day off work and again they didn't deliver. When we called to inquire they apologized and offered to upgrade us to silver instead of white for free for our troubles. I said that's fine and I really don't care I just want to wash my clothes. For our final delivery date, we asked my dad to come to our house so we didn't have to waste another vacation day for my husband. They delivered and installed the silver set and it worked wonderfully.

About a year later, the washer stopped working in the middle of a wash cycle. As a front loader I couldn't just open the door and take the clothes out. I called to have them come fix it with our warranty. Turns out they didn't have our warranty in their records for a silver washer and dryer. It looked like when someone "upgraded" our order for "free" they also deleted our warranty.

Even though it was clearly their mistake and they admitted to me it was their mistake they refused to fix it. After numerous calls to the store and getting nowhere I contacted corporate. I was promptly hung up on when I asked to speak to someone in charge. When I called back I have them hell but they didn't care.

I eventually contacted the BBB but even they were unable to get the company to compensate for their mistake. The clothes in the washer stayed for weeks and were ruined. Eventually we gave up and hired someone to fix the washer. It only cost $70, so it didn't break the bank, but we were still outraged at HH Gregg and their rudeness, lack of integrity, and horrendous customer service.

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS -- I had a delivery scheduled for a new washer and dryer and was given an email confirmation providing a three hour window of when they would arrive. An hour after the 3 hour window I received a call from the driver saying that he was late and that their scheduling department would call me back to set another time. I called them 7 (yes, 7) times and after letting the phone ring for 3 or 4 minutes each time I was hung up on each time before finally getting a live person. The scheduling agent then told me I would have to wait 2 weeks before the next open time. Save yourself some trouble and go to ABT Electronics instead.

DOWNINGTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA -- Purchased a floor model 65" SUHD Smart TV and had it delivered without a container box. The delivery person after placing it on the basement floor turned it on, took a quick photo then quickly turned it off. He did not give me an opportunity to connect the cable to get a picture. He then told me it was fine, showed me his fuzzy picture to indicate it worked, had me sign for receipt and quickly left. BIG Mistake on my part. After turning it on when connected to the cable, I discovered a four inch wide distortion on the screen.

The store sales manager told me the warranty would not cover the replacement in full because the warranty cost was included in the TV cost. RIPOFF! They have not offered any type of refund or replacement options after one week. I keep getting told it is under review. Beware this consumer ripoff scam.

Mismanaged Appointment Deliveries and Horrible Installers

CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA -- At Fine Lines no one would wait on me. Obviously thought I had no cash to spend which wasn't true. "Never judge a book by its cover." So I bought an induction cooktop, a KitchenAid dishwasher, and an LG fridge. They sent installers that took no notes...canceled installations both without notifying me. The worse customer service experience I've ever dealt with when buying large purchases.

In all I spent almost 6,000.00 at the store. I had to prepay for their installers to measure for me and then they never showed up for the installation appointments. Awful...awful experience. The amazing thing is that their sales people are commissioned and they still didn't seem to care if the customer was happy. I would only recommend to an enemy that they should shop there.

Refused to Repair Broken Whirlpool Washer

NAPLES, FLORIDA -- 11/13/2016. Not only will I recommend that you NOT purchase appliances at this store, but absolutely do not purchase the service contract that they do NOT honor when something goes wrong with the appliance. The experience has been horrible with the Whirlpool washer I bought in 2013. The washer was $720 and the service contract for five years was $160 for this unit. The clutch broke into 2015, so they had Gulfcoast Appliance Repair come to fix the clutch. This particular repairman was having problems and was here for four hours/made several phone calls back to his store to try to fix this machine.

He finally fixed the machine until this year, 2016, when this repairman came out from the same company. He said the last repairman that was here and left some parts on the floor and let the screw out of a piece which caused the oil to drain out. Now it needs a new transmission and hhgregg will not honor my service contract because it costs too much to fix. On top of this, nobody called me back. I made all the phone calls - the last 800 number the service people asked me to call would only speak Spanish. I don't speak Spanish. Next step is going into the store. I am out of options at this point.
