I purchased two S7 edge phones (Gold & Black) on 29th Apr 16 from CROMA outlet at Goregaon, Oberoi Mall, Mumbai. Within 2 months the black S7 developed a black-spot on the screen, and I showed the phone to the Goregaon Service Centre (Mobile Technology) on 9th Jun 16 (Bill No-[protected]) . The service centre guys informed it to be a display hardware issue & offered a Display replacement under warranty. Considering the phone to be only 2 months old, I demanded for a new phone instead of a repair, but for their customer friendly policies, i was denied from any option other than a repair. Unfortunately I dint have time on that day & promised to come back after few days for the same.
In the mean while, accidentally I dropped the phone & the display got physically damaged, as a result on 1 Jul 16 (Bill No-[protected]) I got the screen replaced by paying 15k.
The phone worked well with the replaced display for another 3 months & then suddenly the screen started flickering continuously & the phone was unusable. I again visited the same service centre and was again informed of it being a Hardware/display issue & can be replaced under warranty. This time I was really irritated with the product quality & wasn't happy at all with the persistent issues.
The executive at the service centre said that he would get the ELS (entry level scanning) done & call me back within 24 hours for the next course of action.
Not only that I never received a call back, but none of the Contact No’s mentioned on the Bill were answered. Finally on 18th Oct, I called up the Samsung Customer Care No. and surprisingly was informed that the Parts were not available & the so called PO was cancelled. He also informed me to avail the refund after submitting the relevant documents at the service centre. I visited the service centre on 20th Oct, to understand the list of documents to be submitted & the same were submitted on the 21st Oct (email).
On 27th Oct, I receive a call from the service centre stating that the Phone will now be repaired as the parts are available. This news was no less than a Joke, as the consumer is expected to accept a repair after 21 days. Obviously I wouldn’t be living without a phone for all these days & had already made my own arrangements.
There have been series of conversations with your Customer care team till date, but still my problem stands unresolved. Am sharing the chronology of the conversations for your perusal.
I really fail to understand Samsung`s approach towards customers. I request your support/intervention in to the above mentioned problem & help me with an refund.
