What’s the Deal with Best Buy Drops?

Only available in the Best Buy app, Best Buy Drops provides the unique opportunity for you to score some of the best deals in electronics, appliances and more. You can save money on your favorite products from top brands by having access to exciting product releases, limited runs and launches. Every item that is dropped is only available in limited quantities, so you have to act fast to enjoy the exclusive deals.

Whether you're upgrading your home entertainment system or revamping your kitchen gadgets, Drops enriches the shopping experience with a diverse selection of items. And, there are multiple drops arriving almost every week, so you never know what you’re going to find and how much you’ll save. Special products and deals from a variety of consumer electronics categories are typically featured, including health and fitness, gaming consoles and accessories, electric power tools, toys and collectibles, small appliances and more.

In order to enjoy the Best Buy Drops experience you need to be using the Best Buy mobile app, which is available on iOS and Android. A free Best Buy account is required to download the app, so you might be prompted to create a new account if you don’t already have one. Here is how to easily access Drops once the app is downloaded on your phone or tablet:

• Open the Best Buy app.
• Go to the navigation bar on the bottom of the screen and click the Drops icon (upside-down arrow).
• Check for upcoming Drops that will be landing within the next week, tap the navigation bell to opt-in to Drop Alerts and receive reminders on your phone.
• You’ll receive a notification shortly before your favorited item drops, letting you be among the first to seize the opportunity.
• Add the item to your cart and check out.

The Best Buy app makes enjoying Drops a smooth and equally exciting experience that puts a fresh spin on online shopping. With just a few clicks, you can have the latest in tech shipped directly to you. You also have the option of choosing store pickup or curbside pickup, which is great if you want to get your item quicker.

Another nice benefit of the Best Buy app is how it uses both virtual reality and augmented reality to further enhance the shopping experience. If you prefer personalized assistance and guidance from the comfort of your own home, the VR feature lets you meet with a tech expert in Best Buy’s virtual store. Meanwhile, the AR feature lets you see how products and new tech releases will look in your home or office, helping you visualize the perfect fit for your space.

New items and exclusive deals are dropped all year round, but Best Buy Drops is particularly helpful during the holiday season. You have an opportunity multiple times a week to find the perfect gifts for family and friends. Whether you’re searching for TV deals and computer deals or innovative appliances and accessories, the diverse selection of Best Buy Drops caters to everyone on your holiday shopping list. With frequent drops and limited-time offers, you can help ensure that your online holiday shopping is both convenient and rewarding.

During a live product drop, you can see the inventory status of that particular item. Although some products sell out quicker than others, being aware of how many are left can help you prioritize your holiday shopping list and maximize your chances of snagging the perfect gifts before they’re gone.

Moreso, you can formulate a shopping plan by looking through the Upcoming Drops section. Items that will be featured later in the week are located directly underneath the live Drop. You can also browse the Past Drops section, giving you a better idea of what type of items and savings to expect in the weeks before the holidays.
