Hi
I had purchased Samsung S22 Ultra mobile from Laxmi connect Panvel on 20th August 22.
At the time of purchase I had taken extended warranty for the mobile.
But instead of extended warranty dealer had processed the request for accidental & liquid damage.
I am trying to contact Samsung from last one month but nobody is interested to resolving the complaint.
Even after sending emails to CEO nobody is care to revert.
Pls help to resolve the issue.

Today when I am using my samsung m31 phone suddenly it started auto freezing and restarting. I use authenticate samsung charger and no third party softwares are present in my phone.
When I checked about this online, I came to know there are thousands other samsung users who faced/facing the same issue. When visited customer care they asked me to replace the motherboard which would cost around 9 to 10 thousand. But why should we pay for it as its manufacturing defect.
It is Samsung's fault and they should repair this for free.
please reply.

Dear Consumer Help,

I have ordered one double door refrigerator from Samsung shop (samsung.com) app which is online. Order number #71055052. At the time of ordering product, it has cancellation & return policy which says product will be replaced at the time of delivery. And I have received the damaged product, when I asked them that I need a replacement of the same product samsung says they don't have replacement policy for damaged products. They fooled me by displaying the replacement policy in their website before ordering the product, but the time of delivered damaged product samsung said it doesn't have replacement policy. Please help me to get either replacement of same product or reasonable compensation of 30% for their delayed delivery, lied about policy and damaged product delivery.

I have purchased Samsung Galaxy M31s in Aug 2020. Little did I know it would turn into a disaster and Samsung as a company would loose my trust on it.
Recently I started facing automatic restart issue like many other users and visited customer care hoping some help. From the Engineer at customer care center, I learnt that the issue is with the power IC and he said since they are not authorized to replace the power IC, they will have to replace the motherboard and new one would cost me 8000 INR.
After a thorough research about this issue on the internet, I could understand that there are many users reporting the same issue. Even at the customer care, there were a lot users with the same complaint and they were updating everyone about motherboard replacement. It is very clear that this is company fault and this series is a failure.

I am very disappointed knowing that I need to pay 8000 INR to fix this issue which is approximately half the price of the phone and also warranty of new motherboard is 90 days only. 90 days is a very less period and there is no guarantee that issue will not happen after 90 days. It would be pathetic to invest 8000 INR again after 90 days in case the same issue occurs.
As a highly disappointed customer, I would request Samsung to extend the warranty of new one to at least 6p months. Also, I want a free replacement of my motherboard as this is clearly an issue from company side and hence EXPECTING A REFUND. Please help me on this as soon as possible.

This phone was never dropped nor used in harsh conditions because this was basically my secondary phone, so you can imagine the usage.
Just after the update, I observed the pink line so I visited the internet to check like every other person would do.
And turns out that the issue was more in the S20 plus phones. So I consulted a few friends who faced the issue and they informed that the problem was the same with their phones too.

So checked with some of your employees, they said that they received a circular stating screen replacement was offered as goodwill due to Samsung error.(indirectly)

And on request of one of your executive who asked me to drop the phone for repairs at the closest service center, so that they can check and guide me accordingly. When visited the service station the guy incharge straight denies any repairs as he "claims the damages are physical drop damages" so I asked him that does he not know that the frame is aluminium and under atmospheric conditions it tends to oxidise over a period of time. The guy replies saying the the frame is metal and nothing happens to metal.

I was not given any estimate at the service center all I was informed by the call center that the amount was around Rs. 10950/-

Can you assure me that there is no oxidation to the material that you'll use in the product?

So he also states that he is the final authority to accept or reject the claim. And if you want it repaired under warranty get an approval from anywhere maybe by mail.

I bought a samsung note 20 on 21st sep, 2020 with 2 year complete protection plan but i was not satisfied with the product any time after my purchase. I need to repair my device 4 times during this period and in last 3 months I'm irritated by the Samsung and their senior assured me every time that i have faced no problem in future but all the time same problem happens or new problem occurs.
I have all the proof of mail and the picture of problem occur in the phone.
Now in the end I received call from the Mr. Pardeep suri who is VOC, that i was not allowed to use multitasking in the 70000 rs phone otherwise the problem remains same.

Auto restart problem in samsung m31s after last two software updates. Reviewing the complaints of other users on this site got to know i am not the only one having this problem. Clearly indicates the cheap business strategy of Samsung India compelling its customers to go for huge repair costs or buy new devices.

I have purchased a Refrigerator from Samsung Online Store on 16th August, and my order id - [protected]. But the defected product was delivered on 18th August, and demo was scheduled on 20th August. during the demo we came to know that product having multiple dents on body. Immediately, I have raised a return request on 20th August, but I am still waiting for reverse pick-up. Every time when I tried to communicate between Samsung Customer care over the call or Email, they are giving a timeline of 4-5 business days for reverse pick-up. And after cross the given timeline, again they are requested for next 4-5 business day. This happened 3rd time of today, when they are saying for another 4-5 business days waiting time, while almost one month is about to complete of the request for reverse pick-up has been raised.

So, because to these me and my family are suffering from Mental harassments situations, but Samsung team are not bother about this, every time they are saying to wait for next 4-5 business days

Requesting, please do the needful and help me to get refund ASAP.

Above is the seller from whom I bought a Samsung galaxy f62 on Amazon in August 2021

'Samsung SmartCafé (Naman Enterprises)' is the store which comes up on google for the same.

Now the phone is locked under 'Flipkart smart upgrade plan' and Flipkart's customer service is telling me that the phone will require payment of remaining 30% amount by the seller (since they likely bought this phone under that plan from Flipkart) for it to be unlocked. Which means the seller bought the phone from Flipkart at 70% the price but I've paid 100% on Amazon for the same plus the headache of having to deal with the customer services now.

I would consider it straight up fraud by this seller to sell such a phone without disclosing the details to the customer first. I bought it on amazon but they could defraud an instore customer in the same manner also.

This is highly unacceptable and I have had my phone locked for a week because of it. And have been bouncing around from one customer service to another on both Flipkart and amazon and even contacted Samsung and went to a Samsung service center.

So I suggest that some action be taken against this seller as they are a Samsung approved store and are basically cheating the customer.

Dear Sir/Ma'am,
Have purchased Galaxy A71 phone from Samsung Shop portal in October 2020 (invoice attached), being old loyal Samsung customer and already using many samsung products, I trusted the brand and get ahead with this purchase. I am really sorry to say that this purchase has turn out to be a nightmare in past One and Half years.
-The Device first brokedown after 10-11 months in September 2021, where it was not switching on one day and your service center repaired it free of cost as it was under warranty.

-Right after 3-4 months its display become dead for reason not known and I had to pay INR 6000 to your service center for the replacement (Neither the phone was ever dropped or mishandled nor damaged by water etc). The e-mails with receipts and service center job sheet enclosed for your reference.

-Now right after few months of replacement of screen, once again the screen become faulty and half of the Touch is unresponsive. Again your service center demanding another INR 6000 approx for screen and touch replacement.

This is never expected from company like Samsung, how many times shall I invest in the repair of such a pathetic device just because it is out of warranty. I am not a rich person and can neither afford hefty repair charges after every few months nor can I afford buying new phone every Year.

The phone is in mint condition without any scratch or sign of damage it is the display and touch which is getting faulty number of times in just a span of 18 months.

Thus I have requested them to either get my phone repaired and guarantee that same flaw would not happen again, without any charges or simply refund my hard earned Money. BUT THEY ARE DENYING THE SAME. Warranty or no warranty reputed company like Samsung should not sell substandard products to their loyal customers.

Request you to please help me to get out this trauma as early as possible as I am left without working phone, which is a necessity in todays time.

Awaiting your positive response.
Thanks

Hi,

I have cancelled these 2 orders [protected] & [protected]
Still amount did not get refund

It has already crossed 20+ Business days for both these 2 orders.

it is really frustrating for calling customer care every 48 hours

I ordered a Washing Machine from Samsung and it arrived damaged and it has been over 17 days now and my return and refund both have not been processed and Samsung is least bothered to contact me.

I've written on their Twitter Handle multple times, sent emails to their CEO (Service head email address) and all is in vain.

I've attached all details and I've been stuggling to return this damaged washing machine. Everytime I contact Samsung they ask me wait and that my issue will be handled on a priority basis. 17 days now and I'm still not a priority.

NOTE: This is after they have approved my return and refund as mentioned in the email attached in the screenshot.

Please help me get my item returned and get my refund asap!

Disgusting service from Samsung and holding people's money hostage.

Hi,

I had pre - ordered a Samsung Flip 4 on September 01, 2022 on the Samsung Shop with the Pre-Order Bundle offers including the following - (A Free Case worth 1999/-, A Free Wireless Charger worth 5999/-, A Galaxy Watch 4 Classic worth 34, 999/- at 2999/-). This was promised at their website and I hence purchased the phone. They were supposed to be delivered on September 04, 2022 (estimated)

However a few days later I only received the phone (On September 05) but all the other accessories were not delivered. I contacted the customer support enquiring the reason for the delay and they explained that only after the phone is delivered will they initiate the shipment of the accessories. After a few days I received an email of the cancellation of the accessories.

I had tried to contact the customer service on seveal occasions and unbelievably each one had a different explanation of the issue. One of them said that I cancelled the accessories on my behalf (funny cause any sane human would want to cancel free offers), one of them said it was a "Technical glitch" which made them to cancel the order from their side. But none of them really provided any kind of solution or next line of action to this issue which absolutely had nothing to do with my end. After so many days of pursuit, I finally got them to escalate the issue and finally got a callback today.

They agree that it was a technical glitch which cancelled the order, and that they dont have the stock of the times WHICH WERE PROMISED AS OFFERS. And they have the audacity to say that they will refund my 2999/- which I paid for the watch as pre book sale and well as for the other offers, tough luck cause I didn't pay anything :)

I tried to explain in the most civilized way that how it was actually morally wrong to promise something so smoothly backing out of it after the purchase using technicalities and fine prints but they literally showed me zero empathies.

I was literally coerced into making this purchase based on these offers and sales and I was never informed beforehand that this could even be q possibility. As of Now I just wish I never made this purchase but I would like people to be aware of these offers and stuff and dont fall for it, because these companies have no honor. All they have is fineprint.

I really really want to return my handset and would like a full refund now if that is the only solution you would provide.

Thanks.

Hello,

We purchased a Samsung 4K NeoQLED TV Model code - QA65QN90AAKLXL 65" ON 15th August 2022 from Croma Mulund West, Mumbai for the offer price of INR 134999.00 as mentioned in the invoice attached with this mail under the name of Sumit Kotal. The item was delivered on the 19th of August 2022 and Installation by Samsung Engineers took place on the 22nd Of August. During the installation, it was noticed that the screen was flickering and there was an issue with the sound. After repeated troubleshooting, the problem still persisted and they registered a service request. The service request number is - [protected]

We were given a choice of refund or part replacement and we went ahead with the part replacement as the refund would've been of the offer value which was a loss on our part. We were promised the part replacement will be done in 15 working days. There were no proper updates or intimations given by Samsung's end. I had to literally find on my own who is handling the case and got to find the service center Qdigi handling the same. Got in touch with the Executive named Mr.Gopal from Qdigi and he kept promising with lies of the next day and the next and still, no resolution came into effect.

Mr. Gopal gave me an explanation of how the product is ordered from Delhi and should be coming to the warehouse soon he said he is in touch with the part team personally. After a week's time of everyday follow-up from my end, yesterday i.e. 10th Sept 2022, Mr.Gopal says that the part is not available and I've to wait for more than 15 days for a resolution of either a refund or Product replacement after this case will be forwarded to the Top management. After waiting for so long, I'm not going to accept any refund. Replace the whole product or repair it ASAP.

What kind of circus is going on that you guys are making a fool of a customer paying more than a lakh for a premium product? This is the worst customer experience I've ever had. Also, I registered a complaint with NCHCA (Grievance number[protected]. If the case is not resolved at the earliest, I'll make sure to put up a legal notice. This is total exploitation of a customer and harassment after delivering a defective product.

Please look onto the same.
PFA the invoice

I have been following up under ticket ID #71040938 since 04 Aug 2022. Everyday i get 24hrs of Time but no resolution. Customer care service Representatives are of no help, except they just say that they are escalating the issue. Not sure if the escalation has no importance in SAMSUNG or the customers have no importance. From last 30 days i am behind the samsung support group and still i didn't get any resolution to my problem. All i get is to wait back for next 24hrs. Instant discount of Rs. 3000 was not given to me though i was eligible for the same. Please find the attached screen for your reference. I had purchase the Samsung M53 6gb/128 gb under order number [protected] on 04 aug 2022. On the payment page total amount to be paid was showed Rs.19561.60 being eligible for the instant discount of Rs. 3000 using ICICI bank Credit card . After making the payment a sum rs 19561.60 but of Rs.22561.60 was deducted from my bank account for the same order and no discount was provided. I am attaching all the relevant screenshot showing Rs.19561.60 and deducted amount of Rs. 22561.60 My purchase amount was 19561.60 but debited amount was 22561.60. Please help to get my refund extra charged 3000 urgently. 40 days completed but my refund was not credited yet from samsung.

Worst customer service ever.
After 2 months of pursuance which include at least 6-7 reminder mails on samsung ceo mailing I'd and calls with various customer service representative from samsung, today I have received a mail from Mr. Prashant saying that they can repair the phone without cost. But when I asked about the future assurance of not facing the same issue of getting the phone absolutely "DEAD", they could not give me any definite time period, SIMPLY SAID THAT IN FUTURE IF THE SAME PROBLEM COMES, " YOU CAN APPROACH SAMSUNG CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEN THEY WILL DECIDE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE".

1- In simple terms, they are going to work in their closed nests and NOT CARING ABOUT THE CUSTOMERS TIME, ENERGY AND MONEY.

2- When I asked them to escalate the issue to their next level customer support manager as I either want either to replace the phone because the "motherboard processor", EXYNOS 9611 WHICH CAN BE CALED AS THE HEART OF THE PHONE, IS NOT GIVING SATISFACTORY RESPONSE IN MOST OF THE HANDSETS OF " F" AND "M" SERIES WHICH IS ALSO PUBLISHED IN REPUTED MAGAZINES LIKE "INDIA TODAY" ( CLIPPING AVAILABLE) AND EVEN THE SERVICE ENGINEER WHO EXAMINED Y PHONE IN SAMSUNG SERVICE CENTRE SAID THAT MOST OF THE SAMSUNG MOBILES OF "M" And "F" Series ARE FACING THE SAME PROBLEM ( VOICE RECORDING AVAILABLE), THEY SAID THAT THEY ARE THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF ESCALATION AND THEY CAN NOT ESCALATE MY CONCERN FURTHER.

NOW I WANT TO ASK SAMSUNG AUTHORITIES-

1- ARE EVEN YOUR MID-RANGE PHONES MEANT ONLY FOR 1 Year.

2- IF THE ANSWER TO THE ABOVE QUESTION IS "NO", THEN WHY YOU ARE YOU BREAKING YOUR LOYAL CUSTOMERS.

IN CASE IS VERY TRANSPARENT, BECAUSE HERE IN THE HEART OF HEART THE COMPANY KNOWS THAT THERE IS PROBLM WITH" EXYNOS 9611" PROCESSOR, BECAUSE OF WHICH EVEN THE COMPANY HAS REDUCED ITS COST FROM 8000/- TO 4000/- IN OPEN MARKET ALSO.

IN THE END, I AGAIN STICK TO MY WORDS_

1- COMPANY CAN OFFER A NEW HANDSET IN THE SAME MID-RANGE COST WITH A GOOD PROCESSOR.

2_ IF YOU WANT TO REPAIR THE SAME HANDSET, NO ISSUES,

BUT

"GIVE ME A WRITTEN NOTIFICATION THAT IN CASE AGAIN SOMETHING GOES WRONG WITH THE PROCESSOR IN FUTURE AND I FACE THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN OF IT GOING " DEAD" THEN

"THE COMPANY WILL GET IT REPAIRED FREE OF COST ATLEAST FOR 3 -4 YEARS WHICH IS THE MINIMUM TO MINIMUM LIFE SPAM OF ATLEAST A MID- RANGE PHONE OF SUCH A BIG AND REPUTED COMPANY LIKE SAMSUNG

LOOKING FOR A QUICK AND SENSIBLE RESPONSE FROM SAMSUNG SENIOR AUTHORITIES AFTER PURSUING FOR A TIME LINE OF ABOUT 2 MONTHS NOW.

DR. ARUNA GUPTA

Hi.. I tried all possible ways to find solution, but the is no resolution in sight.

List of my issue:
I ordered M33 5g mobile via Samsung shop website & it clearly said all Icici credit cards eligible for 3000 cashback, which didn't happen. Initially your samsung support team said my card was ineligible.

After several followup's samsung mailed We regret to inform you that, we do not find any cashback details in the order.

It's clearly mentioned in the website samsung.com and not giving discount after purchase.

Later I provided samsung offer pdf to the regarding the offer then they are telling
you are not eligible to terms & conditions below mentioned:
1-Cashback offers do not apply to corporate cards.
2-The upgrade offer cannot be clubbed with a bank cashback offer.
3-Cashback/EMI schemes are provided by respective issuers at their sole discretion.
4-This cashback can be availed on one card only once a month irrespective of the product purchased.
5 If a product purchased with Bank Cashback Offer as mentioned above is cancelled/rejected, then the customer will not be eligible for the offer with the same card within 24hrs (As per Bank’s discretion) of the earlier purchase.
And I am eligible for the terms and conditions.

The biggest problem is that your customer support team doesn't even understand my problem & sweep under the carper saying my card was ineligible.

I'm attaching the offer screenshot along with invoice and order details. Would appreciate your swift resolution.

Regards
