This vinyl sale offered strong prices on a wide range of albums and box sets, including new listings that kept appearing during the event. Shoppers picked up titles like Lana Del Rey, Fontaines D.C., Black Pumas, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, and Sleep Token, with some box sets landing around $19.99 and several records under $15. Free shipping worked for logged in Best Buy members, though some carts showed a shipping charge or needed support help. The biggest drawback was shipping quality, with many records arriving in paper envelopes, bent, torn, or even used, while a few orders did arrive well packed.
Collectors buying multiple records at once, because the sale can surface extra listings live and some box sets were found for about $20.
Shipping is inconsistent: some records arrived in oversized boxes with bubble wrap and cardboard, but many arrived in paper envelopes or bags with no backing. That packaging has led to bent corners, torn shrink wrap, and even records described as used or badly damaged.
Yes. Free shipping appears to require being signed into a Best Buy account, and it can fail in cart or checkout if you are not logged in. Some orders also worked only when purchased one at a time.
No. Not every listed item is on sale at the advertised price, and the inventory/listing set was still changing during the sale with new titles appearing live.
Returns may require mailing the record back, and store returns can be limited unless you are exchanging the same item. Support also reportedly said credits can take up to 30 days after the return is received.
you bought 23 of them? so they are at least aprox. $10. You spent at least $230 on vinyl? I collect other things (colognes, 4k DVDs, etc.) but please enlighten me on this one.
Pretty bold for the cologne collector to throw shade
Another reporting terrible shipping, half are shipped in paper bags. Even for the ones in boxes, almost all have torn shrink wrap or other wear. Will never buy vinyl from best buy again.
Got Mazzy Star from Amazon which arrived today. I also got it from the best buy sale. Amazon sent in sealed vinyl shipping box inside a larger box and arrived mint. Best Buy in paper envelope all banged up.
For anyone that plans to return and hasn't yet, prepare yourself. I went in store thinking I could return them because the app said that was the fastest way only to be told unless I wanted to get an exchange for the same item, they had to be mailed back. Thankfully, the store manager helped me print out all the shipping labels. And they are taking care of shipping them. But if you got a ton like I did, you're gonna spend a lot of time preparing them to go back.

Returned 4 separate orders of mine in store in literally 2 minutes. Your store likely didn't do something right.

Looks like "most" are now sold out. I will note that I bought 3.
2 were shipped in a foldover paper envelope and both were damaged. The third was shipped loose in a large box you could have gotten 50 records in. Duh...
Luckily it wasn't damaged. I called Best Buy. Fought through the AI assistant and reached someone in India. He was very concerned with my complaints and made a note on my account.
I feel so much better. I'll order my vinyl from Amazon going forward. It's the one item they actually over package.
DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT BUY VINYL FROM BEST BUY - I ordered from this sale album came in a paper envelope, totally bent beyond belief - even worse than buying from the Ebay Target site....worst ever.....what sucks is I have one more in transit . Urgh
Yep. I just commented here. Ordered 3 and two were damaged. Returning one and winching, keeping Nick Cave. Order all vinyl from Amazon. It will be double boxed and will arrive undamaged
you should be able to return it at your local store, no? i hope mine are sent in boxes, since i ordered a bunch and the email says they're being shipped together.
Sure you can return, but it's costly, time consuming and a real PIA when the item is now sold out

yeah, based on what i saw here, it is better to buy your vinyl from either amazon or b&n. i got very lucky coz mine were all packaged to withstand an explosion and only one sleeve showed some scuffs on the shrinkwrap at the corners. but the experience of several other members was not cute at all.

Only complaint for me was Bob Dylan boxset had scuffs on bottom of boxset but still sealed in wrap. Not bad enough to return since it was only $20.
EXCEPT the one big expensive boxed set which was in a brown envelope and had its corners busted so now there're pieces flopping off the edges. Yay.
