Samsung India Complaints & Reviews

I had purchased the new launch of Samsung CDMA MPOWER M569 on 18th Feb 2009. Started using the handset from March 15th onwards. It worked fine for 1 month.Later the phone became too slow in its application. I had not even used a external memory card. Finally in May the phone used to show some network error. I was not able to make nay calls nor receive. I called at the helpline numbers and they asked me to visit the service centre. I went to the service centre and they informed that there was a ntework issue and they will have to send the handset to Chennai. They committed a delivery of 10 days and delivered my handset after 1 month. on 29th June i received my handset n the problem was not resloved. Since then i have been following up with them and made atleast 100 calls. Its really sad for the treatment i have received and the way Samsung has failed. Pls help me get a compestion for the trauma i have received because of these people

Dear Sir / Madam,

We have purchased a Samsung combi oven with the model no. CE1113F nearly 2-2.5 years back. Its not working from the past 5-6 months. We live in Chitradurga (V.P. Extn., 1st main)
1. So I had immediately placed a complaint to your Davanagere Service Centre. Your representative had come and he informed us that the circuit board has been damaged and also assured us that it will be replaced within 2-3 days. He had also told that he would call us.
2. The expected call never came .........so I called them up a week later. And I was told that the part was not easily available and that we had to place an order and after that it would take a week or so to be fixed. So I did place the order for which I was told that it will cost me nearly 1.5K.
3. We waited for nearly 3 weeks and then again called him only to hear that it will take some more time as the part is not available.
4. Finally he did come after another 2-3 weeks with the new circuit board. But to our misfortune there was a mismatch in the number of pins at the bottom end of the circuit board. So he said we will have to wait for another week or so.
5. Again after repeated follow ups I was allowed to talk to the manager, Mr. Manikanta, there. But that din't help me either. He just said he will look in the matter .
6. After few more follow ups I was given your toll free number to register the complaint. I did register the complaint. He gave me a complaint number and told that we would be attended by your representatives. But none of them either came or called us.
7. I did again call up to the toll free number repeated my complaint with the number that they had previously given. And I got the same answer that your representative will come and visit us or call us.
BUT NOTHING.... ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAS HAPPENED TILL THIS DATE.

NOW WE ARE ALL FEELING WHY DID WE EVER BUY A SAMSUNG PRODUCT.......

AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE WE ARE FALSELY ASSURED THAT WE WILL BE GIVEN A
VERY GOOD SERVICE...........

WE USE THE OVEN ON A DAILY BASIS AND ITS BEEN A TERRIBLE HANDICAP WITHOUT
IT...........................

ITS NOT THAT THE, OVEN IS SO OLD, THAT ITS PRODUCTS ARE OBSOLETE..........

YOU CAN'T EXPECT PEOPLE TO CHANGE THEIR OVENS EVERY 2-3 YEARS............

IN FACT WE HAD SEEN A BIG SAMSUNG REFRIGERATOR AT OUR RELATIVES PLACE..........

SINCE OURS IS ALSO A BIG FAMILY, WE WANTED TO BUY A GOOD,
BIG REFRIGERATOR..........

BUT, NOW ITS DECIDED THAT, ITS DEFINITELY NOT GOING TO BE A SAMSUNG ONE........

I AM STILL HOPING THAT SOMEONE WILL FIX IT AT THE EARLIEST............

MAYBE THEN I CAN THINK, ABOUT BUYING SAMSUNG PRODUCTS...........



With regards,
S.A. Vijetha.

I think this company should stop selling their products if they are unable to attend the complaints and after sale service. I bought a.c. last year but not a single service was done.now to replace the part they are charging a huge amount and still not coming to attend after no. of calls.when there wont be summer then will they come?i am sorry to say i am very much dissatisfied with this company.next time before buying any product i will have to think 100 times.

Dear Sir,
Please help me to track & find my lost mobile handset.

i have bought a dvd writer of samsumg. it was not working properly and was unable to read the cd/dvd. before of its warenty i gave that to the south delhi service centre at vishal bhawan nehru place. they took around a month to repair that. but, the same was also faulty. i went their again they said we have checked it there must be a problem in your system. i took that and checked that again and also showed it to computer engg. and cheked that with other pc also and again went to the service station with my compaint with in a weak on dated 24/09/09 . but, they said that we have repaired it and now your warenty is over. we are repairing it for the last time. but, even now today on 24/09/09 its not working. my question is when i went for the first time it was under warenty, and if they have given me a faulty dvd writer again and again what i can do. my compaint no. was 270.

i purchased a ultra stlim color tv form dealer. after 2 or 3 months it's remote was not working properly then i have changed my remote. again the new remote is also creating some trouble. i have also changed the battery two or three times. so in my opinion the samsung company is a third class compancy and it's products are also so bad. so i requested to all the people don't chose the samsung if they wish to buy some good product

Hi,
I have bought this new Samsung guru 519 cell yesterday only. But i am unable to find which text file this phone will support. I mean, word or pdf or any other. Please do let me know.
Thank you

This is regarding the LCD TV that I bought 2 years back from Samsung Digital Plaza (thru QRS, Thiruvananthapuram) for Rs 47,990. It worked fine for 2 years. Suddenly the picture colour started showing some major problems and I registered a complaint with Samsung service center at Trivandrum. After repeated calls and reminders finally the service center has confirmed that the panel has to be replaced (earlier technician had mentioned that replacing the board might be enough) and it costs Rs. 24,000+. The company wants me to pay Rs. 15,000 (discounted price).

I had done some research about TVs before deciding to buy an LCD TV though it was very expensive. The Samsung sales guys had marketed the fact that LCD TVs have longer life and that is the only reason why I went for LCD and decided on Samsung since I thought it was a good brand.

I am thoroughly disappointed both with the quality of the Samsung LCD TV and the delay/quality in response by the Samsung service center. I was shocked to see that Samsung manufactures goods with such low quality that an LCD TV (that costs Rs. 50,000) fails in 2 years time and make the consumers spend tens of thousands of rupees again on repair and replacement.

i had bought samsung i 450 of rs- 11,000/- four monthes back on 11-may-2009 with one year warranty its hands free is not connecting to the mobileand when i went for its serviceat nehru place, delhi service center they said that its whole mother board has to be changed and you have to pay Rs- 6000/- .
they were not taking gaurantey of internal damage its a software damage we cant do it manually
one year back the same complaint happned with another samsung mobile set. costumer service center is not dealing well with the costumers.
please do take require action not only me even many other peoles are also suffring from there services.
thanks
yours faithfully

Dear Sir / Madam,

With reference to my home installed WINDOWS AC bearing Model: AWT18QBHDBD1LXTL,Please informed that this AC was bought during April 2005 thereby undergoing two subsequent repairs involving fire accident as well. Was referred to Alpha Refrigerations, Chennai both the times by Customer Care. Have spent nearly additional Rs 6000/ on repairs. Kindly note that all expenses have been absorbed from consumer end with no incline on quality. Everytime, we are forced to adher to their Service Representative appointment timings with cost also involved from consumer end.

Kindly note, as a domestic consumer, we are very unhappy with the product quality and thereby subject to poor repair services by your company. Today again, we are verged to face the third problem with AC within 1 month span of last repair. No Cooling effect and also burn smells.

Quite inquisitive to understand whether we need to prolong or continue consumer relationship with SAMSUNG including the existing product from your company.

Kindly advise on future course of action from your side.

Thanks and Regards
Sumesh Balakrishnan

Hello,
It is regarding the Samsung Mobile S 3500 i purchased on 20.06.09 against Bill No. 42455 From N K Electronics(Shop No. A1,Mandir Market,Mata Rani Chowk,Ludhiana) Bar Code No. *354556/03/048286/6*
The phone has been giving us regular problems from The day 7,i never expected such sort of problem from SAMSUNG Mobile.
Problem 1)
On day 7(from Purchase) The battery was low & it just turned off showing the message the battery needs to be charged, it never opened up. Only when i went to the shop again & explained what happened,they changed the battery & it started working,then i was advised to go to service centre as they can only issue under warranty battery. I went there & was issued the battery but now
Problem 2)
On charging the set becomes hot & service centre asked for 15 days time.again harrasement for us as we bought a new set & were exposed to samsung for the first time.
Problem3)
After 15 days i got the set & it was very rough,sliding was very hard etc,anyhow i started using it, i came to know that the battery back now is just 1-2 hours & after every 2 hours i need to recharge the set. Again harrasment for me.
Problem 4)
Anyhow i was adjusting & suddenly the speaker went down, music player working but not able to listen the calls. I managed few days like this & again went to the service centre for the neccary action & again got the mobile after 7 days.
Problem 5)
Now from past few days again the screen is very unpredictable & continuous problems are coming. Sometimes it works,sometimes it stops working,even when it works it is shaking,speaker is still not ok. I am not going to service centre because it is very difficult to manage urself without a phone these days.
In these just two months of purchasing SAMSUNG Mobile i have been so harrased & irritated with my mobile. Few were my friends were against buying SAMSUNG due to market reportation of complaints but i bought it anyhow.
Please look into the matter & kindly suggest if anything fruitful can be done as soon as possible.

Dear Sir/ Mam,

I would like to inform you that neither Samsung Mobile people nor Mumbai police is helping me to retrace my mobile.

I have lost my mobile on 24th July 2009 near MG Road Mumbai, I have been to "Azad Maidan Police Thane" and launched an FIR on the same day that is 24th July 2009 FIR number- 1162109.
Police people told me that they will send a copy of the FIR to all the service providers, but After asking the customer care of various service provider I got to know that this has not been done.

I spoke to Samsung Mobile people also, even they are not helping me in this regards even after having all the documents of my mobile with IMEI number- "[protected]", model name "Samsung i 450"
I am attaching the Scanned copy of my bill along with this mail.

Dear Sir,
I have lost my mobile...Please find my mobile...
to trace my lost samsung mobile...

My name: Pooja Sachin Gavhane
Address: Shivneri, Sector 15, vashi.
Phone model: Samsung E250
Make: Samsung
Last used No.: [protected]
E-mail for communication: pooja.[protected]@ril.com, [protected]@rediffmail.com
Missed date: 22-Sept-2009
IMEI No.: [protected]/6

Please Help me....

Just to apprise you that I have been using Samsung product from last 7 years and never faced any issues in your Sales Support towards us but this time I am very upset and disappointed after having bought a Window AC (Please refer the appended mails) model no.AW18ZKA from one of your franchisee National Electronics, 5 Park Road, Lucknow on 24/03/09.

Issue against the Remote Control:

The remote has been replaced twice till date but the Remote Control device is still not working at all that means we are not able to control any commands from the said Remote Control to the pertaining Window AC as of now.

Though , we have launched a complaint to the Samsung Call Centre (Customer Care division) on 18th Sep 2009 but not an Engineer has turned-up to us as of now, even we have not received a single call (Support Call) from them.

I would request you to kindly send an expert engineer with a new (fresh) and compatible Remote Control device immediately who should resolve our issue(s) completely asap.

Awaiting your response asap.

Best Regards

Hi,

I had booked the order (order no ORA[protected] at 'India today book club' for Samsung Marine Mobile (b2100) against free gift offer of Family Holiday Package Worth Rs.5000/- + Round Air tickets Free + Rs.5000/- worth Home shop 18 vouchers as per the verbal confirmation of your executive while booking the order.

The parcel I received was only having mobile phone and the ‘Family holiday home package, air ticket and home shope 18 vouchers are not delivered’.

I emailed the company and they asked me to ‘visit the below mentioned bookstoday.in/promos.htm link to claim your free gifts. After 15 days daily contacting and lodging the complaint stating that your unique code no which you have provided in the invoice is not in a active state and concerned benefits are not delivered to my address they activated my secret code no. But not mentioned about my Home shope 18 vouchers.

When I visited the link, I came to know that for holiday package they have put such conditions that some one decides then also he cannot availed the offer and the same thing is apply for the Air tickets.
Also the payment Rs 800 is required for Holiday package and payment of taxes is required for Air ticket, which was not mentioned in the initial offer flyer. They had cheated and not informed me this condition in any stage of my booking the order through mail or verbal manner.

The terms & conditions they are asking me to follow for free gifts are informed me after I have accepted the delivery of samsung mobile consignment. Legally I am not bound to follow any of such condition.

The free gift what they are saying is a totally misguiding to the customers.

I have maintained copies of all communication between ‘India today book club’ and me. I am expecting my money back with harassment compensation and company to stop such cheating marketing policy.

Its my a very very bad & worst experience with indiatodaybookclub ....

I also told them that I am going to post complain against them on forums and your site but nothing! They have NO time to reply or response after payment. Only searching for new buyers...

Very BAD...

Hope to get my full money + courier charges return fast... OR I am going to file a consumer case against this cheater people of India Today Book Club.

I was extremely disappointed with the service I received till day. If you would please address this issue with your concerned autorities, I would greatly appreciate it. I will forward this message to other people saying that you wont enjoy shopping at your store, however if I receive no response from your end, I will try to shut down your ugly business.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

Regards,

Ravikiran

I made a service request for my Samsung fridge on 17.09.2009. I was given ticket no. 8602005 and assured that service engineer will visit on 18.09.2009. No sign of him/her. On 19.09.2009 I called toll-free number starting 9:00 a.m. I got recorded message that company starts work at 9:00 a.m. till 9:15 a.m. when someone picked up the phone. I was again assured of prompt service the very same day, but no one turned up. I tried to send an online request. The company alloted BP Number [protected] but no password. It did not accept my request online. What sort of technological giant is this which does not accept an online request?

I have purchased C700 Samsung Mobile with IMEI No: [protected] from Big C, Neredmet X Roads, Secunderabad vide their Bill No: 0153517 ( date not noted - it is not more than 3 months). From the beginning the set battery is to be charged twice daily. I donot generally use camera, music or even FM radio. I receive about 10 calls in a day and I too make say another 8 to 10 calls. The total usage will be not more than 20-25 minutes in a day.
I charge the battery from 6 am to 7-30 am. It won't last long. I charge again around 2-30 or 3 pm.
I used Nokia for more than five years. I never had this sort of complaint. When I contacted the showroom they too could not do anything.
Can something be done?
