Samsung repair/replacement under warranty

I purchased the new Galaxy Book Window PC. The day it arrived, it would not update to the latest Windows. When I contact Samsung, they said it was a software issue and I would need to contact Microsoft. It took several hours with Microsoft correcting the outdated software that was installed on the brand new computer. The unit work find from June 16, 2017 until July 12, 2017 at which time the until crashed and I lost bluetooth. The bluetooth adapter failed. I contacted Samsung and we walked through a system restore to no avail. I was then required to send the unit in for repair. The unit was received by Samsung on July 14. Since that time, I have heard nothing from Samsung. Any communication had to be initiated by me. Each time I call, I was told the unit was approved for replacement and that someone would contact me within 2 days to arrange for the replacement. 2 days go by and still no calls and I have to initiate the call only to be told it has been authorized for replacement as of July 26. I am being told this by their Executive Customer relations. How can this take so long? Where is the customer loyalty? Here it is August 6th and still no repaired computer or a replacement. Each time I call I get the same runaround. I would just like an accurate response and a believable expectation when I may get my new computer that I am making payments on through their Samsung finance. The experience has been terrible. No customer support or communication.

Samsung television

Since I bought my "SMART TV" I have had nothing but trouble with internet connection. I have called and they have been able to reset and connect - only to have to reset and connect EVERY time I wanted to watch via the internet. Of course it was an internet issue. Fine...did that. But now I am unable to connect at all. I have gone onto the forums to find that the problem I am having is an issue that plagues so many that own a samsung television. The television does not auto locate an IP address and first searches for a wired connection. Then I make it search for a wireless connection and it cannot find one. I have had ATT on the phone and finally to my home to correct this issue. It is definitely not an internet issue as I have since purchased another VIZIO TV that works completely fine - connects - stays connected - no issues. Not my Samsung. Today, I spoke with a representative - Prince - who inforted me that I now have an issue with the internet card and since it is out of warranty it is an out of pocket issue. The rep tried to tell me that this issue is not the same issue I had been having because prior I was able to connect; but, now that I am not it is a new issue? When a part stops working properly in a car does it always just die out - no! sometimes it makes noises but still works; sometimes it works but not at full speed or capacity; but it still works! How about the analogy of my light switch turns my light on. It flashes for a few seconds but then the light stays on. Its probably the light. Happens a lot. Then all of a sudden the switch does not turn on the light. The light works if I plug it into another outlet but does not work in this outlet. Well, now the outlet is bad. Did it all of a sudden go bad? No, it has ALWAYS been bad; but was able to work around what was wrong with it until it just completely failed. JUST LIKE THE DEFECTIVE INTERNET CARDS IN THEIR TELEVISIONS!

I am so disappointed in the service provided by Samsung. They know they have a problem and are refusing to acknowledge it. Its not even a specific model related issue - its a samsung issue. PATHETIC COMPANY

Samsung galaxy s6 phone

This isn't a complaint about my phone but the phone in general (although people who could hear me just fine on my old phone can't seem to hear me on the new one and even trying to speak through bluetooth is an exercise in frustration). I'd very much like to complain about the ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS business of non-replaceable batteries (or batteries that you need to take in to a store to get replaced). It's one of the reasons why I won't go with an iphone and it didn't even occur to me until after I bought it to check because none of the samsung phones I had before had that problem. Well, surprise, surprise, I have to get my battery replaced. Oh, look, it's just over a year from my purchase date, shocking. Wait, the nearest place is how far away? Not every store does it? Convenience isn't a big thing with you guys, is it.

Well, I prefer convenience over catering to a company so big it seems to have forgotten how normal people operate. As a result, until samsung returns to user-replaceable batteries I will find someone else to support.

Thank you for your time.

Samsung refrigerator

Dear Madam / Sir,

Refer to my email reference number [protected] regarding our concerns with the frosting issue in the fridge we recently brought From your dealer at udaipur, rajasthan, India - 313211

As per your communication, a senior engineer was to be sent for inspection, after technician inspection which was unsatisfactory as mentioned in my previous mail.

The problem is being faced from day one, and response for demo visit of new fridge .. After three weeks. Regular follow up in this regard has been very painful in this case.

To brief the matter, the first visit demo for fridge, frosting was complained to him, which we were facing from day one. He accepted and took photos and confirmed might be issues with internal part, which would be replaced after engineers visit. On his suggestion we raised our first complaint. Thereafter, engineer visit, he mentioned there is no issue, set temperature to maximum and told it will run on this, some frosting happens in some fridge casually. But the we were told auto de-frosting at optional temperatures provided. We connected up to the engineer with the technician by phone. On phone, the technician who had indicated issues initially totally went ahead telling all is OK with fridge, and also mentioned that he never mentioned there was a problem. You could refer to telephonic recording if available. He had clicked photos of frosting areas as well. Such lies for a customer issue was found ridiculous. It was sad to notice such change in statements and Samsung company values.

Above was the content of complaint but the visit was scheduled but never visited from past 4 days.

Thank you and regards

Samsung lack of repairs for two televisions and two monitors

This issue has not been solved for a number of years inspite of my persistent emails and phone calls.
I am a senior citizen of sixty-five with a medical disability.
I need the monitors to email my providers.
The televisions are a depression eliminator and stress relief.
I have been ignored by samsung for years.
I have two rca televisions dating back to the seventies that still function.
I have numerous samsung cellulars, dvd players never used, monitors and seven televisions.
I am enduring a health situation i would be relieved if my repairs issues could be resolved.
Thank you.

Samsung mobile phone

I bought samsung phone through your corporate website, attached are the emails of my order and insurance which came with it. At the time of purchase your executive told me that this is an international phone and warranty will be across globe. i recently came to states in April and a problem with the phone started it was unable to connect with wifi, i tried to connect it with wifi at different place and different connections it connects and then within a fraction of time disconnects automatically. i called your customer care and technical support many times and when they were not able to help in anyway (after calls of 1 hour many times) they asked me to visit any best buy store near me. they gave me an address of best buy in my area (Irving, Texas. USA), when i visited the store they told me samsung dont have a representative now at our store and you need to visit another store.

I went to another store and met samsung guy who then formatted the phone (i told him that its already done and doesn't helped) still he formatted and noticed that the problem is still there and gave me one number and told me that he spoke to samsung team and i need to call them and they will give me a label and i will have to ship the mobile and they will send me replacement. after reaching home i called that number and it was incorrect, i called the store and asked to connect with the samsung guy and they told me that they cannot connect and after insisting they gave me another number of customer care. i called them many times they raise the request and cancel it another day.

your quick action on this will be highly appreciated.

Samsung model #rf4267hars/xaa-0000 samsung bottom-mount refrigerator

I purchased my Samsung French Door refrigerator with Flex Drawer, and bottom freezer May of 2012, from Sears and I purchased the warrant and extended it until 2016. The freezer stopped working and was repaired on six different occasions.

I will never purchase a warranty again. The service technicians were ill prepared and did not have a clue, as to how to fix the refrigerator. In my opinion they were fixing it long enough for the warranty to run out, to encourage the purchase of another warranty, which is insanity.

Finally, I requested a refund and that began another long and frustrating process. I was given the run around for a year. I called every week for months and was told that Executive Customer Relations team would call me back to no avail. I sent all six of the repair invoices and each time that I sent them I was told that they did not receive them.

I was told that I would receive a refund for my lost food due to the broken freezer, which I never got. I did receive a partial refund for the refrigerator, which infuriated me.

What I learned from this experience is to never, ever, purchase anthing from Samsung, because they make shoddy product and they do not care about their customers. SAVE YOURSELF TIME, MONEY, AND FRUSTRATION

Samsung samsung mega. phones

We bought samsung mega phones and they both have been wiped and memory boards fried we sent them to be fixed 4 months ago through best way here in clarksville tn. I just received a call saying they can not be fixed and it's a total loss... how can this happen? We had these phones less then 18 months before they begun messing up the company said it was the ion battery that caused the memory board to fry out... but they can not fix it. So $ 868.00 for each of them are now down the drain. I am writing to you to see if there is anyway possible that you can try to fix this problem before I have to take matters further. I have no way to buy another samsung phones and I really love your products as we own several. Please get back to me as soon as you can. My email is [protected]@gmail.com. if further info is needed I will provide after contact is made... sincerely,

Samsung french door refrigerator model rf23hced8sr/aa

Will never buy any Samsung product ever again ! Horrible product and no customer support to speak of.

Bought the French door refrigerator May 2016. The ice maker unit does not make more that 1 cup of ice even after 48 hours. Problem not resolved even after replacing motherboard, ice maker unit it self as well as the augor motor and fan. there is condensation that drips down the side of the refrigerator doors to the bottom of the freezer compartment. Loud motor. And no ownership/customer consideration by anyone at Samsung. Horrible company

Recommendation - DON'T EVER BUY SAMSUNG PRODUCT

Samsung rebate denied and refund being delayed

The deal was to send any cellphone worthat least 20 dollars.send it and they foung a operating/software problem with my cell phone that was 3 years old and had been thru the normal use of calls, texts, and internet downloading app, stuff. The phone was working and being used and of course there could be an issue with the software because is a "used" cell phone . It just logic
It's not fair at all to treat a faithful custumer like that.and in another other that had to be refunded it has taken them a month to wait and yet i havent received my refund.they sorry but we escalated.over and over again.not they said it beinh delayed because they have to many refunds to do. Well hire more employees to get the job done.i used my credit card do you i can explained to them that they have to wait over a month because samsung is busy . Don't you think they are going to charge me interest if samsung don't issue that refund. All they say is i'm sorry . I dont know, the issue is being escalated . Is being delayed. What a horrible customer service they dont even care about we the customes they said i'll transfer you to a supervisor that says i cannot do anything about it.etc...

Samsung recalled washer

I have been trying since November of 2016 to get a label kit for my recalled washer. I have made many phone calls and sent many emails. Everyone I talked to was very understanding and said they would send one out right away. Here it is 8 months later and still have no label yo put on washer. We are moving within 3 weeks and new owners will have this washer! Have no idea what to tell them?! Please do not ask me to call or email anyone because that has got me nowhere. I will think twice about buying another applaince from Samsung

Samsung s7 edge

Ticket numbers:

See the above ticket history. I was promised a refund on June 2 2017. today June 30 I recieved my phone back. I have been dealing with Samsungs defective merchandise starting with my recalled note 7. The S7 edge was the replacement for that phone. To summerize the original phone was repaired twice with the same issue of a pink line returning. I recieved a replacement only to have the line show up a week later. Another replacement with the line appearing the day after I started using it. A refund was agreed to. I sent in my phone and it was receieved on June 8. It is now June 30 and for some reason my "repaired" phone was sent and not the check I was promised. I called customer service and was informed it would take 3- 4 weeks after the phone was sent in for my refund to be processed. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! I have been more than patient. I have jumped through every hoop in order to end this cycle. Samsung has consistently failed to follow through on repairs, replacements and now on the refund.If someone at Samsung took the time to check they would see on their homepage that I have owned every note phone since the note 3. That I have currently two Samsung laptops, two Samsung tablets and a Samsung television. I have been a loyal and committed customer often reccomending their products to friends and family. I was upset about my Note 7 being recalled and felt the compensation to be unfair but probably would have remained a customer despite of that. Not anymore. The failure of appropriate service recovery on Samsung's part has soured me to doing any further transactions with the company. All I request now is a speedy resolution to this current issue so I can go on with my life and stop spending my time emailing, calling, etc. to resolve this issue.

Samsung customer service and promotions

I preordered the Galaxy 8 on April 15th and was supposed to be eligible for the VR Headset promotion. I was instructed to register on shop Samsung app and I did. I submitted all information requested and was still denied the promotion after 2 attempts. I then called and was told I would be emailed within 2 business days and to reply with the information necessary. They said that I would not be penalized for it being past the promotion date since i had an open ticket prior to the promotion end date. They took over a week to email me and have since then requested the same information a few more times through email over the course of 3 months. I have called the 24hr customer service number and been left on hold for 2.5 hours. They have also picked up and not answered. I could hear talking, laughing, and even singing in the background. The last I heard from them is that I was not eligible because the promotion had ended and that there was no one I could speak to about the situation. They have the absolute WORSE customer service ever!

Samsung galaxy s7 edge

Very first day of using this phone, it slid from the console of my truck to the floor. The screen broke. I question if this is a defect in the phone. It should not have broken. I hadn't even had it long enough to get to the store and buy a case & screen protector. We have Assurian insurance, but since this was a replacement phone on a claim we had filed, and it is within 6 months of the last claim (yes, it was the next day!) the deductible is $225.00! I've never had a phone that was this fragile. Usually our phones are in cases with screen protectors, but it broke before I could get this.

Our daughter set this phone up for us to use on 5/24/17 and it broke on the morning of 5/25/17. Phone #[protected].

Do we have any recourse other than buying another phone?

Samsung samsung making customers suffer

am reaching out to you because I have no more avenue left. I have been loyal Samsung customer through out my life. I have used Samsung Galaxy phones, television, washing machine. So I was always a huge supporter of Samsung until I am having this miserable experience.

Before I go into detail, I want to give my background which will help you to understand reason for my distress. I am currently a graduate student in Florida State University. I was eagerly awaiting the launch of Samsung Galaxy S8 and was exhilarated to pre-order it. Within few days, because of certain personal problem I needed to travel to my home country. So, no longer I could afford that amount of expense so I decided to cancel it. I cancelled the order and the shipment was returned midway. I never received the shipment which is as expected. I was told that money will be refunded within 10 days after the shipment arrives back at the warehouse. So after 10 days I gave a call to customer care and they told me it is taking time but money will be refunded within next week. Then same thing happened when I called the next week also. They told me they can do nothing more than escalation. This trend has continued for the last one month where I have called more than 5 times and every time they tell that nothing more can be done other than raising more escalation. So, it has been more than one month and yet I have still not received my money back. Student community has limited fund. They do not sit on huge pile of cash. So for a student to give interest for the amount of a product which they will not be using is tough on them. If you do not believe me go through order no [protected] and you will realize everything what I have written here is nothing but the truth.

I have been buying things online for a long time. Whenever I give a call to customer care to any reputed company I do not have to be in hold for more than 2 mins. Yet everytime I have called Samsung customer care(which is more than 6 times) I have to be in hold for more than 30 mins during each call. I have been taken aback by this. In other companies they at least start processing the refund immediately and money arrives maximum within 10 days. And here it is in Samsung everytime you call the customer care, you will be on hold for 30 mins and when you go through to the representative they tell you they can only escalate the matter but do nothing else.

In this age when customer satisfaction has been the priority for all the companies this is how Samsung treats their customers. Isn't it peculiar? If this does not appear strange to you please let me know.

I have totally ran out of my patience. Right now I am in terrible anxiety about why did I trust your company? In this electronic age Samsung has brought us back to stone age with their customer support. Every company is making product innovation but that does not mean they will treat their customer in this way. I do not know what more can I do to get my refund back. At this moment I have lost all my confidence that I will ever get my money back.

Samsung galaxy s7 edge

My phone rang, no big deal right? Except that when I went to answer it the phone was so hot it actually burned my hand. The intense pain caused me to drop the phone. Because I could not hold onto the phone that was burning me neither Samsung or Verizon Wireless will replace it. Clearly this phone had a manufacture defect or it would not have gotten hot enough to burn my hand in the first place.

Samsung needs to stand behind their faulty product and issue a replacement.
