Worst customer and product support for company like Samsung
Worst experience with Samsung this time on Note 10+, my note 9 was working perfectly fine. I just bought it a month back and it has an issue which happens intermittently where it loses network if coming down the lift or going to underground parking lot and never recovers until I restart the phone.
Reached to official samsung service center and they mentioned its a known samsung motherboard issue and asked me to get the phone replaced.
On reaching out to samsung care had another worst experience where they said they would only replace within 1...Read more
4 days of receiving the order even though they knew they sent me a defective product. So now they would only repair or replace the motherboard and send it and I have to live with it knowing I paid 1100 dollars for a defective product. Worst customer support for a huge brand like Samsung.... I feel cheated and robbed by this company. Totally unprofessional... No ethics in even supporting for their product.3 comments

Difficulties in refunding the phone
Ive been using samsung product for years and years, but i never know that the customer service is kike garbage. They are always giving false promise and information. What i mean is always no action taken, they always told me to wait the email.
Called 6th times and still not fixed yet. What a terrible customer service. (Online purchase) planning to move to another company brand. Not recomended.
I wish Samsung can provide their responsibilty, which i think is not possible for s**t company like this. (Australia)

Samsung over-run by Google
I have been loyal to Samsung tablets for many years, now Samsung are so in-bed with google it's impossible to go more than 10 seconds before I am bombarded with google ads. We I've had enough. I'll throw my two Samsung tablets in the bin and buy an APPLE IPAD. Samsung your orchestrating your own demise, have fun in the future without my cash. Samsung take a good look at the websites "how do I stop google ads" too many people have the same problem. You have a good product ruined by google ads, do something about it before it's too late for ALL of your customers, well you've lost me.

Samsung sell junk for metal scraps
We purchased our Samsung TV 65 inch RU8000 on the 29 June 2022, it's been in the repairs since the 17 July 2022 and their version of investigating is a piece of paper that states NFF (no fault found) NFF. The tv is still in their workshop. Samsung said unless we provide them with a video of the concerns, they couldn't help us, so we did give them a video, and they still haven't fixed the TV. At this point we asked for a refund because we don't trust their process, they asked us to sign a false document which we weren't willing and of course sin...Read more
ce then they've not given us back a refund for our scrap trashy TV, or our tv. The only reason we bought this brand was because we had a Samsung TV prior to this for 9 years, and thought we were staying with a strong name. I really need to learn my lesson, there is no loyalty with brands the way we used to know it!!!! Oh and don't bother with Samsung staff, they don't listen and don't keep a record of the issues that are concerning us about the TV, and as mentioned above, they tried to insist for us to sign a false document. I've spoken to the Samsung staff members here in Australia, and this one staff person is unbelievably defensive, she always claims she has no supervisor, and that it's just her, in a Samsung customer support environment, SERIOUSLY? Maybe that's what Samsung need to do, pay to have well mannered trained staff members.6 comments

Fake shipment tracking
I ordered Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus 5G. In my Samsung online account, the order history says that the product has been delivered.
What a blatant lie.
I haven't received the product at all.
When I contacted them via online chat, they said the product was still in transit.

Disappointment re 3 door Black French door Fridge
This $3500 fridge has no bottle dept, no door opening restriction (allowing door to swing and hit the cabinets)
You also need a Harvard Degree and an hour to apply for the cash back (then a wait for 45 days for payment)
Think hard, and check YOUR requirements.

Bought a Samsung S10+
Bought a Samsung S10+ About a week ago now giving me some time to trial it properly. What an amazing upgrade from my iPhone. The amount of extra control provided on this phone vs iOS is night and day. Battery life amazing. Super happy with this purchase. Should have made the switch ages ago.

No Refund after 2 months
So basically I returned a Note 9 on arrival at my post office as I was directed to by a Samsung support technician in order to get a refund under Samsung's own "Change of Mind" policy.
I called a week later and was told that as the device had not reached the warehouse the refund couldn't be processed and to wait a further week.
I then called a week later without a refund and was told that the device had reached the warehouse, but the refund process hadn't started due to the process taking a couple of days, and got told to wait a further week....Read more

Same as every other review. Does not honor warranty claim.
My fridge blew up after 2 months from brand new.
Deemed faulty by their independent contractor, due to gas leak.
Samsung rang and offered me a refund.
To get this refund, you must jump through hoops and if you don’t, you get no refund.
Department of fair trade couldn’t help.
Only way to get a warranty claim is to take them to tribunal.
Over a $800 fridge.
Will never buy Samsung again.

Zero customer care
I have bought a samsung s10 it it first launch online. And we returned it for because of work circumstances. Until now from 2 months ago refund haven't been processed. An excuse from 4 days, 2 weeks and 21 working days and now another 1 or 2 weeks, because of an error been made.
Im talking about over $2000 worth of money.
Been waiting and hung up by this hopeless team called e commerce. Waiting on manager to call back never did.
How can a company hold money for this long. You should be penalized.
Do not ever buy things online with samsung.
There will be no support or real person can be dealt with.

Few month ago samsung called me and said they need to recall the machine and they will replace with new one. I said ok. First they said they will give me top loader but i have to wait for long i agreed to that. Before delivery they called me and said they can't give me top loader as they don't manufacture 6.5 kg anymore and their smaller too loader is 8.5 kg.

Horrible online ordering experience.
I ordered a new phone and tablet 5 days ago from the online Samsung store. I have been called by, and called to speak to, two Samsung agents in order to 'verify my order'. They've already taken my money, so I'd consider that fairly verified.
The order has been stuck at processing ever since. Live chat and phone support are next to useless, reading off a script and unable to provide many answers.
The Samsung website states :
"Order before 2pm AEST and your expected delivery is before 12:00pm next business day for most metropolitan areas*. Ot...Read more
herwise your expected delivery is before 12:00pm on the following business day." I live right next to the CBD (absolutely within the metro area) and was told by the first Samsung agent that I'm too far away from the metro area for express shipping... Absolute nonsense and bordering on false advertising. I do note the star... However, this does not relate to any actual disclaimer or condition on the website (despite searching high and low).1 comment

Well rehearsed customer service team who pretend to care but refuse to do anything
Parcel said to be delivered but wasnt. I contacted sender Samsung who advised me that it was delivered 6 days prior to ETA on invoice, on the 24th by Startrack. I was given a consignment number and contacted Startrack and I was sent a signed POD. POD was questionable so I decided to watch security cameras and found item was never delivered. Requested for an investigation Both Samsung and Startrack take no responsibility for the missing parcel. It's been 20 days and still no resolution. Both Samsung and Startrack have well rehearsed lines when it comes to customer issues. No empathy or care for customers items once payment is received. No resolution and felt like a ping pong ball being bounced from to another.

Worst warranty process ever
I purchased a galaxy s10 from Samsung and it came with dead pixels. After speaking to Samsung care they advised me to take it to a Samsung store or repair centre.
I get to the store and they advise that they can't help me, so now we go back to the call centre who redirects me to their assessment centre (road hound). The assessment centre request I send it to them via their toll account but their systems spam my email confusing me further of the return process. But I get there and send back the device. No replacement device has been provided a...Read more
t this point in time. Once the device has been assessed and road hound confirm the dead pixels. I then have to make several calls to Samsung care and roadhound in order to get a simple status of when I will even get a replacement device. I finally get told that my replacement device will be sent out 21 business days after the device was received. As this was a crazy long time to wait I asked for a refund and was told that a refund would also take up to 21 business days due to Samsung's warranty process. No replacement device or compensation offered. TLDR: Samsung warranty process is an absolute joke. They call it Samsung care but the truth is they are careless. If your new phone has a defect expect up to 21 business days (from the day they receive the device) for a replacement or refund.1 comment

Samsung Gear S3 battery change
I needed a new battery for my Samsung Gear S3 and they said that I would need to change the back casing on the watch which would cost $120... if it was just the battery it would have been for free... OK I thought fair enough but then I get a message...water damage pay an extra $158... not cost effective.. Firstly, the watch was in perfect order and I paid with the watch through Samsung Pay. I was doubtful on $120... $280 to fix a now $249 brand new watch...I said just change the battery and back as instructed... "we can't do that when there is...Read more
another problem... the watch has never been in water.. rain maybe but it is made for that... if I don't pay the $158 the watch is returned to me broken as they said the back cover would be broken through the process... and they take $66 out of the $120 as a cost of assessment... broken watch, lose $66, thanks very much Samsung for ripping me off.2 comments

Questions & Answers
Lewis S.asked
I had purchased a Note 10 from a Samsung store on the 7th November during the time the earbud redemption program was active. I was in two minds of buying the phone but the free ear buds were an enticing proposition. I filled the appropriate online form with all the info required. I hadn't received any feedback as to whether my claim was verified A week later so I decided to call Samsung ear buds call centre. Finally a half hour later I got through and was told they forgot to inform me that my claim was verified. On the 13th of November my claim was verified. It has been stuck like that ever since to this day. Made many attempts to call but all calls were in excess of 20 minutes+ before the phone cuts out. As if this is a deliberate act to reflect the problem; keep them in the dark. The 30 day limit is soon encroaching and I highly doubt Samsung will honour their promise. This ear buds redemption promotion has Simply been a form of bait IMO to lure honest customers to their product and put these customers aside while Samsung continue doing business. No communication and no care for the customer's interests. My redemption number is, RDP0000136904. Lewis.

When can I get a feedback about my lost product?
I ordered water filter for my fridge through Samsung online as I thought it would be less to worried about. But it proved much more problematic.
I ordered the product online on Dec 28, 2018 and received a message saying it’s going to be delivered on 3rd Jan and I would be contacted before delivered. On Jan 4th and 5, I checked my mail box and front yard and there was no card or any package about the product but my order was marked as Delivered online. I reported this issue to Samsung via 1300 call last week twice and they promised me response within 48 hrs. However, I haven’t heard anything after 4 days passed. No update, emails or any feedback. This is the worst online purchase experience I’ve ever had in my life.
