We purchased Smart 32''LED TV from Dharmendra Electronics(Samsung shop), mall Road, Hoshiarpur, Punjab, India.
The shopkeeper took Rs 92, 000/- by my credit card and shopped with Paytm(without consent) on 04/03/2018(Sunday).
The owner requested my mobile on the pretext that being Sunday they forget to bring.
In good faith I gave them my mobile and credit card(my mistake trusting them). They gave computerised bill for 49'' TV against our requirement of 32 inches tv.
Shopkeeper said, we have to buy some other product to cover the difference.
However till date (13.03.2018), even after 4 days TV is not operating due to deficient and delayed services by dealer/Samsung.

We are old people without any pension and can not afford wastage of our hard earned money.

We want dealer/Samsung to take back TV and refund our money

1) Samsung shop owned by M/s Dharmendra Electronics, Mall Road, Hoshiarpur, Punjab, India, used our credit card and withdrew money (without our consent in from my paytm account) in their own account.

2) Washing machine not performing satisfactory.

3) Deficiency in services

Products supplied on 04/03/2016 by Dharmendra Samsung Plaza, Hoshiarpur-146001, Punjab, India, but invoiced(No. 1303, 1304) intentionally on 07/03/2018

4) UA32M5570AUMXL-LED TV-Even after 6 days no dish installed

5) WD80J6410AS-Fully Automatic Front Loading 8Kg washing machine
Demo(by Parminder of samsung service center)done but the final washed cloth was very damp instead of fully dry (as assured in the specifications of the washing machine.

A) We complained on phone and personal visits to Samsung shoppe requesting resolution, but no solution by dealer.

B) Multiple request to Samsung India (TV and washing machine departments) are without positive solutions.

Since after purchasing brand new and warranted items, commissioning is incomplete and unsatisfactory, we are convinced that Samsung India is deficient in providing sales and after sales services, as such we are afraid of using samsung products.

You are requested to advise dealer to take back above items(Washing Machine and TV) and return/refund our hard earned money.
Please treat it most urgent.
Thanks,

Bought all Samsung appliances for my home. 1 year passes and dishwasher brakes. No help from Home Depot where I bought it and customer service pretty much says too bad past warranty. Had to buy another dishwasher as fixing the old one wasent worth it. Fast forward 2 months later my dyer brakes same story and song. Too bad so sad now I have to pay to have that fixed. It's so frustrating after all the money I spent on buying the products and only a year old and paying more to either replace it or repair it. The repair guy even said even if we had got the warranty they just find ways to say it's not covered. Worst costumer service. Horrible products. Just waiting now for the next appliance to brake. Very unfair for the consumer. Will never buy Samsung anything ever again. Lesson learned.

I have been dealing with this problem since the middle of January. I tried to order 2 Note 8 phones on the Samsung app. I am approved for 3200$ on Samsung finance. For some reason, I am on a blacklist. When the phones did not arrive, I called Samsung and was told that I needed to be whitelisted. Many phone calls later, I escalated for a supervisor. I got Anoli, who sent an e-mail to another department to see if they could whitelist my name(account). I was told that I was not going to get a confirmation e-mail from anyone. I needed to wait for 48 to 72 hrs and then re-order. But if I am blacklisted and the order does not go through because of this, then the system keeps "glitching". Today I call AGAIN! and I am told that "there are other customers that are having the same problems. IT is checking into it" and I can "order using another method of payment". I AM FED UP! I asked for Anole's supervisor and was told that "upper management never has contact with the customers". I asked for an e-mail address or escalation and was told it could not be done. I called Samsung finance and they said there is no problem on their side. NO ONE TAKES RESPONSIBILITY. I love my note phone and I wanted to upgrade. Well... I have closed the finance card and I will NEVER buy Samsung again. I am also going to post in any electronic media I can so others don't go through the same problem I have. I would be amazed if upper management reads this. My e-mail is in your files.
At this time all that can solve the problem is a call from the company VP. I highly doubt this will happen. I won't hold my breath waiting.

I had no notice six months ago when I bought this idiotic thing at a very high price that it wouldn't actually be a family hub and I have not been communicated with since that Samsung are having problems with it.
I wasted yet another three hours on it last night with no success whatsoever (not intuitive - or not functioning?). Today I was told by customer service that "it is being worked on". That it doesn't work. D'YA THINK?
So why the price premium- it is just time consuming and an irritating, prominent reminder in the kitchen of being had!

Well lets see where do i begin!

brand new samsung tv barely 4weeks old has lines that cut thru the picture, i call samsung support they send a sub contracted tech out to take pictures and do a report, that tech sends report and picture back to samsung, the engineer at samsung based on the picture makes the determination that my tv has physical damage, the tech put in his report which i got at my request that there is no physical damage but some sort of internal pressure damage, how does a engineer sitting at a desk determine the fact that my tv has physical damage without him actually coming here and based on a photograph, i am livid with samsung!,

i should have bought a sony or any other brand tv way better customer service!, i am reading that many people have had the same problem with all the samsung tvs, internal combust from thermal heat and customers are being blamed for physical damage,

samsung is saying it cost a lot to repair a $400 dollar tv, it cost more to repair then to build and advertise and sell this tv!, who are they kidding? there is no physical damage to my tv, and samsung wants to swindle there way out to say there is physical damage to the tv, when the problem is internal?! now they want a second opinion gave me a whole new ticket number for another tech to come out again, , , , , why? whats going on here! i called them and asked what is the specific criteria as a engineer sits at his desk and determines that a tv has physical damage, no response! they dont know how to answer me!

i just need my tv repaired from samsung that built and sold me a faulty tv! i want a tv that has no physical damage to be repaired because of a internal issue, honor what u promise to your customers, dont lie and fabricate a repair so u dont have to take care of your customers,

i tell anyone buy a sony not a samsung, samsung does not take care of there customers!

I had sent my Samsung S7 Edge to be fixed on January 06, 2017 they had my phone for 3 weeks they told me they would only need 5 to 7 business days to fix the phone, I reputedly called customer serve and overtime I spoke with someone I got a different answer on what was going on, 4 different people stated they would make sure my phone would be over knighted and a week later I got a box from Samsung with no phone inside. And now almost a month later they are still giving me the run around and stating they are waiting for UPS to issue a check.
As a single mother I really need my phone for work, children, their schools, my school.
This has been the worst experience with a company and there customer service. Not Even sure I want to use there products anymore.

I took my handset to The CT Smartcentre I explained the problem and they did a software update and said if it persist I need to bring it in to be sent away for assessment. The issue still persisted and I took the handset back. On arrival there was nobody at the front desk and I saw a queue, stood in the line for about 15 min as there were only 2 consultants assisting the clients. When they were done with the 2 clients they called out numbers and the clients that came after me was next to be served. I told the consultant that I have been waiting 15 min already and now they helping clients that came after me. They said they cannot assist me as I did not have a number, asked where I got a number and they said at the front desk. Went to the front desk, again nobody there and I asked a staff member that walked pass the desk for assistance and was told I have to wait for the person assisting. Waitied and then was handed and handwritten number, so I had to wait again for about 30 min before I was attended too. I then discovered you have to pay an assessment fee as well. Very very poor customer service.

I have received the attached quote and replied back requiring info about the fault and why the main board needs to be replaced, not answer received. I called all the numbers of the smart centre and asked to speak to the person who's name appear on the quote and they said he is not in, I asked if someone else can assist for three days when the person pick up and put me on hold the line drop. When I call back for an alternative number while I speak the lines dropped. Nobody even attempted to contact me back as they have asked for my cell phone number and on the e-mail it stated that the quote is only valid for 7 days.

To date I have send several e-mail, called but the phones just ring all the time. This complaint was logged in December 2017.

I thought that Samsung was a good make as far as PC monitors was concerned, but NO WAY. I bought a brand new one in January 2016, and it has now, (5th Feb 2018) just two years down the line, gone an ugly green colour.
I checked everything, and it was the monitor, and not the signal cable, as that is working just fine with another monitor at the moment. I really did think that the screen would last for more than a mere 2 years, and I am totally disappointed with Samsung. I am now very wary of this make.

Samsung computer monitor quality is bad, worse, the service is also bad.
I got this monitor for over a year. One day while working, the monitor screen suddenly turned black. I tried to reboot my laptop, no use.
so I called Samsung Service number.
I was told this monitor was out of warrant and I must pay $200 to check what went wrong.
After much talking, the lady agreed that its strange to go total black in the middle of a work session, agreed to fix for free as a curtsy and sent me a return label.
A few days later, I got the monitor back, although it showed my laptop screen, the font was huge and there was nothing I could do to adjust it.
so I called again.
they again agree to fix it, since it was not completely fixed.
However, the 2nd time, I got the monitor back, nothing was changed.
I called to ask,
I was told, the service department did not fix because I did not pay the money.
so they sent the monitor back.

Such bad quality of service. Total disconnect between the service depart and repair department.
Such bad quality of the monitor. Broke just after the warrenty expired.

Hope no one will buy such monitor and go through what I went through.
Frustration, plus wasted time of waiting for this monitor while it went through the UPS over and over again

BEWARE OF SAMSUNG...attempted to switch to android. (Never again)
This is my experience with Samsung, enjoy!😤😤😤😤😤
Good Afternoon,
I purchased my Samsung Edge 7, 8 months ago from Wireless Etc. in the Costco on Dundas in Mississauga. I am very upset with this phone thus far. I am certain that I was given a defective phone at time of sale. 6 months after having the phone, a red line appeared down the screen which appeared after turning on the phone one morning. I had never seen this before. I originally brought the phone back to Costco, where they did nothing and sent me to a different Costco (heartland) saying this location would know what to do. After going there, they did not know what to do and sent me to the Samsung store. Samsung looked at the phone and said the screen was defective and needed replacing, and that they had been seeing this issue with this model. At this time they also found that the battery was defective. After I went home and assumed the issues were resolved. However, on another morning shortly afterwards, I went to turn on my phone and the phone would not turn on at all. I returned back to Samsung to tell them there was an issue and when I left the phone they said there was mould inside the phone. I am extremely frustrated because if they just had the phone to replace the screen, how did they not see at this time there were other issues, if they were indeed there? I was never shown this apparent "mould". When my girlfriend went to pick up the phone at Samsung in Heartland, the phone had already been put back together, and the customer service was extremely rude and condescending and treated her like she was incompetent and a liar. At this time the rep said there was water damage in the charging port and it was "corroded". This was completely different then what the service person on the phone had explained. The rep went on to say that the person who phoned was confused. Furthermore after my girlfriend had continued to explain that there was no possible way of water damage because the phone was never exposed to liquid or vapor of any kind, the rep laughed at her and continued to treat her like she was stupid. I am really confused as this phone is also water resistant so why would this have become corroded in such a short period after being replaced, especially since there was no exposure to any moisture. The customer service person had not prepared a report for me and when my girlfriend asked for one and the cost of how much it would be to fix the problem, he couldn't give her a straight answer and had to go back again and make one up which he quoted at $280.00. When my girlfriend inquired as to why it was so expensive, she was told that the charging port is attached to the screen and so both parts would need to be replaced. This is exactly what was just replaced on the phone! How could there be such extensive damage like "corrosion" and "mould" without any other sign of water damage anywhere else on the phone? Again, water damage altogether is impossible! My girlfriend was not provided with any solution or anyone to speak to in the store that could address the problem. She was simply sent back to Costco, where they proceeded to send her right back to Samsung... but not before they asked why we had not purchased a extended warranty at Costco. No one ever offered this warranty at the time of sale, we were not even aware that it was an option. I would have taken the warranty had I had any reason to expect "water damage" on a water-resistant phone (that again, was NEVER exposed to water in the first place). At this point, I am beyond frustrated as I have called Samsung, visited their location, AND gone to Costco multiple times. Everyone keeps displaying an attitude of "it's not my problem" and keep simply re-directing me to other avenues that will not help me. I have never received such terrible and inconsiderate customer service in my life. I am now stuck in a contract with a premium plan, for a phone that I cannot use and cannot get replaced. Please provide me with a solution once and for all, as I have been unable to communicate with anyone for so long.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter, as I have been unable to use my phone for over a week.

Rather than go through the details of the 20 or so phone calls to them, i'll cut to the chase. The ice maker never worked satisfactorily and after two repairs we called for the third repair. They offered and we accepted the offer of a refund of 90% of the original cost. That was in november of 2017. We jumped through all their hoops in order to get the refund.in fact we submitted their requested information numerous times, only to be told over and over again that we would have the money in 7 to 14 days. When we call to inquire where the refund is, were told our request will be "elevated" and someone would call us in 24 to 48 hours. No one ever calls. And so we call again and again... It is now over 2 months and "we no longer believe" we' ever see a refund! Stupid us, at one point before christmas we even purchased another samsung refrigerator to be delivered early january. Since the assurance of the money to be in our account by the end of december never occurred, we canceled the order. We'll just limp along with buying bags of ice from the local store; we guess our three year warranty is still in effect and if another type problem occurs we will go that route! My advice is to buy a 1950 type refrigerator that "lasted" like the energizer bunny" just keeps going and going!

Have tried to get help many times for the family hub working with IPhone and transferred many times without a resolution Now today I got a phone call asking how my call went and I started to say "terrible" and he hung up on me.

I have to give you a -0- on customer service and by them telling me I should use the family hub with a Samsung phone is bordering on a class action law suit. That would be false advertising because you say it works with IPhone.

Spent thousands on Samsung Refrig/with hub, Robot Vacuum, gas stove/with double oven convection, Dishwasher and 2 Smart TV's and this is how you are treated.

I picked up my Samsung refrigerator from Best Buy on December 1, 2017. There was a crack in the drawer inside. I called best buy and they told me to swap my drawer with the one they had in store and they would order me a new one. Four weeks later I called back and they had not ordered me new one and told me they were never planning to order me a new one and I need to call Samsung. I called Samsung and spoke to Jannessia. She had no clue what she was doing and I had to repeat myself over and over again. She finally told me the order was submitted and I would received my ne drawer. Yesterday, January 7, 2018, I receive a voicemail from a man from the Samsung phone number, as I called it back and it said Samsung on the operator, stating they were closed. The voicemail stated I needed to submit my purchase receipt via email. I called today January 8, 2018, to be told no one ever called me yesterday and that my order was cancelled because they did not have the serial number of my fridge. Jannessia asked me twice for that number and she did not do her job properly. Samsung customer service is the biggest joke I have ever had to deal with. Try hiring people who actually want to do their job correctly. I will no longer purchase Samsung products.

I am complain my mobile phone my phone have touch problem and I re-apper on authorized service center in west Bengal, ukhra but after servicing my mobile I have new problem in my mobile it is receive calls from both ism cards even during call and touch is properly not work . when we want to delhi's service center, there was no way to remove this problem and i was told you will have to fix the problem by going to the same service center at the service center you have built.

i am not satisfied this samsung service center.

Hello Team,

Greetings!

I would like to use this mail to express the depth of discontent and unattended service rendered by Samsung / Lulu, despite of being a loyal customer since years.

This is related to Samsung A7 -2017 which I had purchased from Mushrif Lulu Hypermarket on 18 Feb 2017. I have been facing issue with Slot 1 - SIM, where it was getting out of network all of a sudden. However it was resuming to service in minutes. This flickering / instable behavior was reported to the outlet and in turn to your service centre team. Not sure how to comment on the service - however it ensured me to shuttle up and down 5 times for resolution of the same issue. Even though - replacement was demanded - no attention was given to that rather justification was given as software update and last one was along with PBA replacement. To add on, every time the comments from the team when requested for replacement was - Lulu has got no role but Samsung need to decide on this. Not sure about the responsibility of rendering the service as outlet. If so, the customers can directly deal with Samsung

Details of all the service trails are attached for your reference, latest one being w.r.t Service Doc No: [protected] (Lulu Service Memo) / [protected] (Samsung Ref number).

Noting the warranty expiry is approaching and having replaced both SIM's (to check that option as well) - let me be very much prompt in ensuring your kind consideration to arrange for replacement. Additionally, let me also highlight that no customer would like to repeatedly walkout with the same issue reason unless it's genuine.

Best Regards,

Sahal Yousuff

Powerbot only worked for two weeks then died. Spent $600 on this. Samsung wouldn't stand behind their product or even guarantee to price match a replacement one. Have to send broken one back, wait for them to refund me, then purchase a replacement at the current price and then once I receive the replacement, I can call and request they price match to the original price of the original. They say I have a 75-90% chance that they will decide to price match. REALLY? Purchase directly from Samsung and this is how they back their product?

Customer Service Rep's response...word for word...
"That's just how it works Maam...You just have to deal with it." Customer Service Reps name is Saad. If you get him hang up and try again - he doesn't give a [protected]@@m! Don't think Samsung does either. We decided to spend our Christmas $ this year on a Samsung Powerbot...it didn't even make it to Christmas...Samsung's response was very completely BAH HUMBUG...

After owning it for less than a year my watch quit working correctly. I sent in for repairs twice (starting on July 2017) and it still didn't work. I sent it in for replacement in Nov. 2017 and it was received on 11/8/17, I heard nothing until I called on 12/8/17, 12/15/17, and 12/19/17. I was promised an email & tracking which I have not received. On the 12/19/17 call I was refused my request for a tracking # and to talk to someone above ECT. After being on the phone for 3 hours the Manager hung up on me. I want my replacement watch or a refund immediately.

hello i sent my phone in three weeks ago i was told that it was repaired and being sent back it was dispatched on the 4th the 6th the 8th 11th and 13th of December and still today is the 14th of December and no phone has come no call from Samsung customer relation or any tracking info provided .
I am absolutely shocked at the pathetic service Samsung is providing the most horrendous service i HAVE EVER RECEIVED FROM SUCH A BIG COMPANY.
