Samsung
reviews and complaints

I have purchased a samsung galaxy 3 ( GT-I5801) last month from the mobile stores, hosur. Ever since, I am having an issue with the battery. The battery life shows 70% and in another 10 ~ 15 minuted, it says battery empty. I have not even activated APN and not using any other applications other than simply using for calls like a an ordinary phone and even then the battery life is poor and misguiding with the status. It is highly unpredictable and feels like any time I may be out of contact.
I have referred this problem to samsung and they have asked to go the nearest service point. They have collected the invoice details and phone reference and indicated taht they will call after 3 days. Even after one week, they are not responding. I have also informed to samsung help line and no constructive response.

Beware anyone with aspirations of purchasing a Samsung refrigerator! I have had problems with my Samsung, model #RS556SH, and according to the information I have found online, it seems Samsung is not a reliable refrigerator manufacturer. Not only that, but their customer service absolutely stinks! I have had three problems with the refrigerator side of my Side-by-Side, and it is only five years old. My Best Buy extended warranty just expired, and the same problem is occurring again! I called Customer Service and they won't even sent a repairman out without charge because the manufacturer's warranty just expired. This is a well known problem, according to the Best Buy Geek Squad. The last repairman I had out here from Best Buy says that they get calls all the time for my model. I was hoping the company would offer me some relief. Any American company would have recalled such a poor product, but they refuse to even acknowledge that there is a problem with their appliance, which is directly related to their POOR design. Look online at customer complaints before purchasing anything Samsung, but especially refrigerators. This company will NOT stand behind their product. Lucky for me, I purchased an extended warranty from Best Buy, or this $1300 appliance would have already cost me over $2000! Regardless, I have lost time from work in order to wait and have my problem diagnosed, parts to be ordered, and a return visit to finally fix the problem. Refrigerators should be RELIABLE appliances, which last for 15 to 20 years with minimal repair, if any! This is VERY poor customer service and appliance reliability. Don't buy a Samsung, (unless you have money to waste).

We are 2 friends were purchased in cash 2 nos 40" samsung led 40c500 tv from reliance digital retail limited, city center mall, nashik by order no. [protected] 0n 1 non. 2010 with the assurance that samsung will come and do a wall mount install within 2 days. 1 piece was mounted with fixtures in product box but my tv is not fitted still now on date 20. 11. 2010 due to non availability of fixtures. I have called their service number every day and each time, some one will be give me the assurance that a service engineer will come in 24 hours. It has three weeks. I am very disappointed from samsung, as purchase of very established & trusted samsung product. I want to change led tv with fixtures packed in product box. Otherwise in future i will not purchase samsung products & convey this massage to all my relatives & friends.

I am based in india and was visiting singapore in the month of jun 2010. I had purchased a tv from kio indpark 2 on 17 jun 2010. The details are as follows:-

At the tme of purchase I was told that the tv would have international warranty. After use of just about 5 months the tv has become defective here in india. Whwn I took it to the local samsung service centre here in visakhapatnam, india I was tld that the tv has no international warranty as no international warranty card has been given to me by the sales person. I have been told that the lcd panel itself has become defective and it will cost me about 25000/indian rupees almost equal to 800 sgd same as the purchase cost of the tv. I am shattered by the deceitful behaviour of the sales team where in I have been intentionally duped by selling a defective tv and by not being give the promised international warranty. I have been calling the feedback hotline from here but have not got any positive response from anyone rather everytime I m told that someone would call me back.

I was visiting the great city of singapore and I thought may be buying a samsung tv wont be bad idea since samsung products were supposed to be more reliable. So I found out a dealership and ordered a 37 inches lcd tv costing me 800 dollars. I came back to india and started using the tv, it ran fine for 2 months and then just one night the screen went blank. I called the local authorized service centre and the samsung helpline. I was told to send the tv to the service centre. After one day I was told that lcd panel and the pcb of the tv has gone bad and needs to be replaced. And the tv has been purchased in singapore hence it can not be done under warranty and I would have to pay a sum of rs 25000 in cash if I wanted it to be repaired. This is such a bull ###. You buy a product from a multinational company, which sells it on the name of international warranty. Fill a warranty card and then it turns out its not even valid in india. So one has to shell out double the cost in less than 3 months. Samsung company you are such a pity and I am going to spread awareness about your products using all means including internet on everysite to show how you treat your customers.

Omg! I just spent nearly an hour on the phone with samsung, the maker of my cell phone, trying to find out how to use the speakerphone feature!... When the first two ###s couldn't answer my question, they told me my phone doesn't have that feature!... When I told them I know for a fact it does, they shoved me off on someone else... Finally I spoke to a 'tech supervisor' who didn't know how to turn the feature on either!... I finally hung up in disgust and figured it out by trial and error! Everyone there was rude and stupid and totally incompetent...
Millions of smart, hard working people unemployed in this country, and jobs are going to ###s!

Samsung refrigerators are great... If you work in the appliance repair field. For $75 - $125 per visit you can rely on the constant influx of breakdowns of 'newer' appliances. We bought our samsung rs253baww in 2007 for a price that was not the most expensive, but nowhere near the cheapest. We trusted the salesclerk at bestbuy when he told us it was a great refrigerator (never again will I trust them). I usually do my homework and really shop around, for some reason I forgo the research and now I have a refrigerator that with the original price and all the service calls cost more than the best of the best. I do not want to continue to lose food or supplement any more repairmen's income so we have decided to call it quits and spend our christmas money on a new non-samsung refrigerator.

Good luck to anyone that ever buys a samsung product. They have the worst customer "care" I have ever had to deal with.

A big waste of time and a bigger waste of our landfills (3 years and they are junk? Horrible)

Bought a fridge nov.1/09 with no extended warranty. Started having issues app. 3 mths ago, water leaking into crisper. Have had it fixed 4 times, once including replacing back control panel and 3 times replacing or extending channel in which water runs or channels with a glorified duct tape. Called last wednesday oct 6th said would email or call within 48-72 hrs, same on oct.11, and also oct.13. Still no word. Warranty is running out and we're stuck with this!

Why can't the fcc, stop the commercial's from increasing the volume so load, that it hurts your ear's?

Your watching a movie, and all of a sudden, you have to grab f0r the rem0te to turn down the volume.

I purchased a top-of-the-line samsung refrigerator from lowe’s. Due a backlog, delivery would take a week. A day before delivery we were told that a part had been recalled and that we would need to wait two weeks for new units to be delivered. It finally was delivered. 16 months later our unit stops working. After two visits from the authorized samsung repairman, he declared it dead, requiring the entire unit to be replaced. It took several more days for samsung to issue a replacement authorization to lowe’s. However, samsung also told me I was responsible for the sales tax and delivery charges of the new unit. I would have preferred a refund so that I could buy anything other than samsung. My experience is that the quality of the product, people and policies is inferior. Lowe's has tried to be helpful in spite of samsung.

I purchased one Samsung Duos 259 model on 7th Aug.2010. After using for 3-4 days I foud that there was only 20-30 minutes talk time backup. I visited Companeys service centre ASC TELE CARE 14/18 L.B.S. Marg, Civil Lines Allahabad, E-mail: [protected]@gmail.com Pnone No. [protected] many time where I was told that there is no battery in the stcok come later. After many trips my battery was replaced by the service for which nothing was given in writing. After my repeated request they note down the battery number on my mobile phone receipt. After using 1-2 days the backup pboblem was continued. When I again visited the service center where I was given assurance that after few days my battery will be replaced. After so many visits they took my mobile saying that set is faulty and now they never give proper reply wheather when I will get back my mobile. Under the circumstances I am unable to understand what should I do ? After spending Rs. 6500/- I am running from piller to post but these companey people never listen the problem of their customer. Pl suggest what to do.

My Samsung camera broke under warrenty, I contacted Samsung and they advised me to send it to ICURE as it was the closest service centre to my home. I contacted ICURE and asked regarding shipping etc and they advised me that if I wanted it shipped for free I had to go online, I advised the person that I was going to post it in but I would pick it up once it was done. I was advised this was fine. I sent off the camera at my own expense with a letter stating to call so I can collect it from the store as well as what was wrong with it and the warranty details.

3 weeks later I received a phone call from my parents that I had something to pick up from the post office that was $12.05, I had no idea what this was so told them to collect it. I called ICURE and was advised that my camera was still in with the technician so thought there was no way it was that. I ask the lady - Stella - to contact me once she had spoken to the technician as I wanted to know when the camera would be ready.
An hour and half later I was called by her saying that it was fixed and had been sent out! This really frustrated me, I wanted to pick the camera up and now I had been charged $12.05 to pick it up. They admitted they shouldn't have sent it but said there was nothing they could do and have since refused to refind they money I outlayed due to their stuff up!
It's not the money, it's the principle, I requested in writing that I was to be called when the camera was fixed and I would pick it up. They not only ignored this request but they did it at my expense!

Be ware of purchasing any product of samsung as they will harass you this much they you will decide to not to go with samsung any more.

Purchased lcd samsung full hd tv 37” on 7th dec 2009, for rs 49, 500 / - from satnam plaza m 42 & ndash; a, 1st floor, m block market, greater kailesh & ndash; i, new delhi

On 10th september, 2010 lcd samsung gone down, it was not working at all.

Registered the complain on samsung customer care center

Ph: [protected], [protected], [protected] or 011-[protected]

They have given the complain number: i. E. [protected] and customer care address your complain will address within 24 hr.

On 13th sept 2010, the service engineer call at 6:20 pm he said he would be coming to repair the lcd tv. The service engineer name was mr. Khalid.

Once he arrived at 7:10 pm, without checking the lcd tv he said pcb is not in order and need to replace. I said go ahead and change it. He said the part is not available and need to come from chennai and it will require 15-20 days to get from there.

At the same time I called the manager of customer whose name is mr. B. R rizvi at [protected] the time was approx around 7:30 pm he said he will let me know the status for the same by tomorrow i. E 14th sept 2010 by 12:00 pm.

When the call did not came from rizvi till 12:30 pm I called him and asked what is the status for the same. He said it will be take some time to bring the part and might be done by 18th sept 2010. When he was not sure I asked him to send me the mail regarding the same so that I should have some written evidence what ever he is saying is correct or not. After saying so many time he said mark me a blank mail on my id i. E br. [protected]@partner. Samsung.com

Once I sent the test mail and inform the same he said you will get a mail from my side within 24 hrs. I said why you are not mailing me the same now he said we can’t do.In the mean time I talk with support officer mr. Kamal khan at [protected] discussing the same thing. But he also not helped like the others support executive of samsung.

Also, talked with samsung customer care on 14th sept 2010 discussing the same. Always they have the started line will arrange a call back to you.

But frankly speaking no one calls.

On 15th sept talked with samsung customer care again tried to managed to talk with floor supervisor with ms madhulika and said I need to have refund of my product as I am no more interested for the repair or replacement she has provided me the number 011-[protected] she said it’s the refund & replacement number of samsung.

Tried the number for more than 5 hrs the bells goes but no one receive the call. Just see how disgusting is the service of samsung.If you are thinking to buy any product of samsung just read these and decide yourself whether you want to go with samsung or with some better quality products which are available for much cheaper price and better service: -

1. How long the customer have to wait for the service?
2. Customer has paid huge amount for lcd tv i. E rs 49, 500 / - how he can afford to wait for watching the tv for 15 - 20 days?
3. If the service engineer are not sure about the problem when it would be resolved. They should atleast provide by stand by tv provided. But they have not done. As they say they don’t have any.
4. They challenge they are no 1 in lcd tv but sorry to say they don’t have the parts for the same. As they say the parts are lying at chennai.
5. The customer care people for robots they just take the information from you and nothing they do. No call back is arrange for last 4-5 days.
6. All the phone lines of samsung either its busy or ranking bells but they picks the call.If you any other thing you want to ask from me for samsung do write or call me at
