Samsung, look no further great customer service!
Update:
Samsung has rectified our issue, dispute the issues we’ve had with the unit since we’ve owned it. Thanks for fixing our unit again Samsung!!
Came within a day, with a very pleasant repair person who was great to deal with.
Old news:
Bought a fridge about 5 years ago, since owning it they replaced a part for the freezer as it failed just out of warranty for good will. One month after ridiculous amount of water build up is now occurring in the fridge. When spending $1600 on a fridge, you’d think their workmanship would be better. I’m now with an useable fridge and can’t afford to update...

Update, they fixed my Samsung unit with no charge today. Samsung again has won my business back. I’m looking at updating my TV soon so I know which brand to look for, thanks Samsung!!

Dont expect support from Samsung
As I stated in my previous review Had the fridge delivered freezer not cooling down contacted customer support number and it took them 3 days to get back to me, by that time all food in the top freezer drawer was spoilt. I have spent hours trying to sort out to no avail. I honestly believe they have no idea as to what goes on. Even the schematic in the instruction book was wrong. Samsung need to employ and train staff to the standards that one would expect from such a large Multi National Company.

Brought Samsung note 10 plus s pen stuck. Worst Customer Service.
I contacted customer care worst expereince. Samsung company is best but customer service is terrible. Thst is the reason no one like samsung. I just bought it on last December 2022. My phone is on warranty. They told me I have to wait for two weeks for appointment and no walkin. So worst and humiliating. In apple customer you go they serve you. I am very disappointed with the customer service. I do not know should i take this matter further.

Samsung Won't Provide Warranty On S10e Mobile Phone Buyer Beware With Android Software Updates
I purchased a brand new Samsung S10Ee Mobile Phone 11/5/19 for $1097, thought I would be cautious and purchased an additional 12 months product care warranty to go with the 24 months manufactures warranty just in case.

Our authorised repair agent has now had the opportunity to assess your Samsung S10e. The technician’s assessment confirmed your device displays signs of firmware tampering.

Pathetic service from the repair team
Purchased note 9 from Samsung Sydney store. Few months later phone screen turned out to be faulty as there is a big blurry spot on the screen which is very evident in the attached images. Approached Samsung and after multiple visits and requests they simply rejected my case and advised it is not a manufacturing fault. I have never seen this happening to any phone in my entire life. I asked Samsung if they could explain me what is this mark and they didn't have any answer to this. I would suggest everyone to not buy any phone from Samsung if you're expecting great service and customer satisfaction. They won't listen to your problem perhaps give you useless excuses.
Done using Samsung, not buying it again in the future!!!

The type of service where the the experience meets the promise
We purchased our Samsung fridge and loved all the options, however there were some issues.
The Samsung support team have been amazing and have addressed all our needs.
Based on this positive experience I will be buying Samsung products every time.
I understand things can go wrong, however Samsung have demonstrated they do care about their customers and back their product 100%.
Thank you Samsung, great job..

Worst printer ever!
I bought the Xpress M2070FW printer 4 years ago. Only twice in all those years has it printed more than 5 pages without a problem. It jams constantly. It pulls more than one page at a time. It prints half a page and them not the rest. Getting the cartridge can be a problem as it is not widely available. Drives me nuts!

We have a Samsung smart TV which is absolute rubbish. Picture is not as good they make out and the smart hub updates 2-3 times a day. We have a Sony for my father which is far superior.

Samsung. As a 74 year old just didn't complete a small part of an online activation for some digital ear pods, and because the bonus finished at the end of November 19, they will not provide the pods, even though they new that I had activated correctly. Just an awful company. Never again.

Do not buy anything samsung, hardware warranties are not honoured
Will make excuses to not honour warranties even for premium/flagship products, several horror stories already online. Please file an ACCC complaint if you a similar experience or this will keep happening. Paid $1000 for a new note 9 phone with 2yrs warranty only to have the SPen develop cracks and get jammed after 2 months with minimal use. Spoke with online support who asked me to travel to a store. Store said SPens aren't covered under the 2 year warranty(Even though they conveniently market the entire phone around the damn pen) and it counts...Read more
as 'accidental damage'!? (Even though it broke under normal use and I showed them complaints of several other people reporting the same issue and samsung offering free replacements in other countries and even a few in other Au samsung stores). Said I had to pay $50 for a new one or I could speak with online support again. Spoke with online support again and they suggested going back to the store to have them take another look at it. They also mentioned the spen actually has a 6 month warranty....(At this point I feel buying a chinese phone would have been less of a hassle/dodgy). I ask for an escalation which they did and said I would be contacted in 48 hours. No one contacted me and they did another escalation last week. Have yet to hear form anyone. Glad the pen became faulty when it did.. was about to buy a samsung tv just in the next week. Will be staying clear of their ecosystem from here on out seeing what their after sale care is like. Shame, this company has incredible engineers whose efforts are tainted by one of the most dodgiest business practices around.2 comments

drop the product of for its required OEM re flash. I then asked if it could be dropped of to them and then posted back the first service person said NO!!! the second said YES!!! then they said i would need to book an appointment to drop it off when asked given it is a simple 5 minute job if it could be done in store whilst we wait given we live rural area #FARM AREA, and 2.5 hours drive from nearest vendor or store retailer. I was then told it would take 2-3/ days in which i understand that they have a service line up but given the location of us it would have been appreciated and more practical to do it on the day since we were happy to book an appointment isn't that what you book appointments for in the first place ???. I was then put through a customer support protocol of im sorry sir x3 then about 4 other answers leading us right back to our original question getting absolutely no where with I.T support using there 1300 Samsung Australia number on several occasions they asked for my mobile number to contact me back which i knew was there way of saying once again... IM SORRY HAVE A NICE DAY AND HOPE TO NEVER TALK AGAIN SIR!!! still i was happy to leave it with them. For me i was appalled by a fortune 500 company ability to provide a simple solution to our problem i even asked if they could be granted administrative privileges and remotely deal with the problem in which it clearly states on there website that they would and do have capability of providing. So as an unbiased person who has always used android being tech savvy myself im writing this review to all FOLKS who want hassle free service and are not so technically aware that if you are looking for aftermarket product service simply GO TO APPLE!!! they appear to actually have stores with the capability to deal with quick prompt customer solutions in AUSTRALIA not 3 day holds you still need to book a appointment. it is hard for me writing this given i have supported Samsung since my school years but this can not go disregarded against unsuspecting victims in Australia that happen to live remotely. I will now finish this review with a problem that goes back to the ROOT of this scenario it is now that Samsung have implemented FRP to there systems its another way of stopping phone theft and fraud but they have relied on googles security in which has many exploits and vulnerability so if you happen to be a person in a case where your phone has been HACKED the google account has all its recovery questions changed it has rendered your phone an absolute BRICK unless you go through poor customer service at Samsung or know how to illegally bypass FRP security i come to all people with clear honesty of the problems in the company we found via 6 phone calls i believe it comes to a poor establishment of technical vendors and your typical trained phone support to are not willing to think outside the when box to come to individual device issues that need skilled thinking to resolve these problems and to many people reading of a scripted training program at SAMSUNG AUSTRALIA.5 comments

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.
