Best Buy may not sell in-demand items like toilet paper and Clorox wipes, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t taking the coronavirus pandemic seriously.
More people are looking to them for technology tools to stay connected (and freezers to stock up on dinner). We’re working from home instead of in our offices, we’re running small business from our living rooms, and we’re teaching class to our children in the kitchen. Best Buy has created new procedures to make sure staying connected is not a problem.
The Krazy Coupon Lady goes over the Best Buy weekly ad on a regular basis to find you the best sales possible — even during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Stay tuned, and here are some helpful tips for shopping Best Buy during the coronavirus pandemic:

Best Buy supply and shopping limits
No specific shopping limits are in place at this time.
Supply restocks
If you’re wondering when deep freezer chests are going to be restocked at Best Buy, they can’t tell us.
Inventory levels and restocks can’t be discussed over the phone, so the best way to know when deep freezers, or anything else you need, become available again is to keep checking BestBuy.com and with KCL.
Returns
Purchases made March 1 through April 15 have an extended return period through April 29, excluding items purchased with a third-party contract.
Plus, returns and exchanges can now be accepted through Curbside Pickup. Just bring your return with proof of purchase and an ID to a Best Buy location. Once you arrive, give them a call to let them know you’d like to make a return or exchange.
