at December 2008 at SHAHS-Chennai, when it strated it was good for few days afterwards its started stinking the whole room,
so that we called the customer care persons, they came and said that nothing fault with machine and the fault was in the external pipe. we changed the pipe with their supervision, again it started stinking.
after that we called customer care people 7 times, every time they come and telling different reasons...we made all changes what they said
still the problem persists. AC is getting problem, if we switch the temperature above 22. The problem is so worse that two of our staffs got respiratory infection. We can't tollerate this anymore..

I have purchase a Samsung Colors TV 29"(29Z30) on 03/02/2008 but after one year 13 days any visual not seen in screen only sound and lining appear in output when I call in customer care no[protected]BPNo:[protected])they told me they send a engineer on paid basis I request him please repair it on FOC (free of cost) basis because it will be first time I call for any engineer after purchase of TV (Even any demo visit is not done by Engineer) this totally unsatisfying response from Samsung I have decided to not purchase any Samsung item and same advise to all.

If any Samsung representative is looking here please arrange to repair my TV on FOC basis because I think I deserve it.

I, Deepak Singh purchased a 32 inch Samsung series 6 LCD ((LA32A650A1RLXL) VERSION SS02 serial no: 11123PBQA00308V) from Reliance Digital, Vashi store on 14th Feb 09, the delivery of the same was done from their end on 15th Feb 09 at 1500 Hrs. The installation for the same along with home theater purchased from their store on the same day was done on 16th Feb'09 from 1500 hrs to 1800 hrs by service engineers Mr. Bala and Mr. Nilesh. After the installation and completion of job it was noticed by self that the entire LCD panel body is full of deep scratch marks. It was a very disheartening sight for my entire family as we spend a lot of money to purchase this LCD with crystal design. I request you to pls exchange the LCD immediately and save us from trauma of watching our hard earned money go waste like this.

I wrote a mail to samesung on 18 Nov 2008. I have logged a call
with Samsung to troubleshoot the issue of my Samsung 794mg CRT monitor. But today is 24 Jan
2009. It shows that CRT problem issue is pending for more than 2 months and 5 days. Still
Samsung is not able to resolve the issue of my CRT Monitor. Every now and then I am requesting
Samsung to troubleshoot the issue of CRT monitor. But every time I am getting the same type of
update that our seniors will call you. But nobody called me to solve this issue. Up till now the same
thing is going on. Few days back, Mr Chintamani came to my house. He saw the problem. Instead
of troubleshooting this problem, he was trying to reduce the brightness of Screen. After this he said, Now line is not visible. Is this the method followed by Samsung to troubleshoot issue of any
customer in warranty period? Instead of troubleshooting issue, Samsung is going to eliminate the
issue by reducing the brightness. Samsung prefers such a type of non technical staff to provide
Service in the warranty period. Then why Samsung is mentioning 3 Years warranty on warranty
card? Please stop mentioning the warranty period. In case of my CRT Monitor, this is a
Manufacturing defect. Time to time, I informed Samsung Helpline support people about wrong
troubleshooting method followed by Mr. Chntamani. I requested them to arrange another person
from another Service Centre to solve this problem. But the same thing was going on continuously.
Now more than 2 months passed, but Samsung is not taking any action to troubleshoot this issue.
Few weeks before, Samsung technician (may be from Kurla Service Centre) came to my house to
troubleshoot this issue. He was not able to rectify the same. He advised me that the problem is
related to CRT picture Tube. So it needs to be replaced. It is not possible for him to replace the
same at home. So they will do the troubleshooting in the Service Centre. But up till now, another
Samsung technician was doing cheating in front of my eyes by reducing the display brightness, then
what they will do in the Service Centre where I am not able to see anything. I am working in IT
department. So I will not get such a sufficient time to go to the Service Centre to see the same. For
that particular time, I am not able to use my Computer. I am afraid that such a type of Technical
staff will create more problems in my CRT Monitor in my absence.
This is a manufacturing Defect. This is major problem which is applicable in picture tube. I requested Samsung to change faulty CRT Monitor. Still no body is doing needful from Samsung to resolve this issue.
Please help me to solve this issue which is related to my CRT monitor.

Beware of Samsung India mobile sets as they are selling/dumping defective mobile sets in Indian market taking advantage of our delayed judicial process. Specially their J600 mobile phone has manufacturing defect. Do not buy this set at all and try not to buy any samsung mobile set. When you approach Samsung for repair, they tell to leave set for 15 days without any support or standby. Largest number of case filed against Samsung India in various consumer courts.

I purchased samsung ( I450), After 2 months my phone started giving me the problem. First while talking to someone suddenly some kind of noice starts coming in my speaker and than after 10 days some times i cant hear anyone and some times only the noise. I checked my sim on my other phone it was working properly. Than i went to samsung mobile care to submit my phone. The first customer support told me there is a noise problem in your cell and for this we have to change one part which we dont have it . Than i asked when it will come. They said not sure. approximately 15 to 20 days. than i went to other sevice center . First they said dont submit your phone when we will have the part we will call you. But no one called me, i complaint so many times to the customer care but no results. Than finally one day after complaing to the customer care they said you can go there and check your part is avialble. When i went there they changed the part and after that thet are saying there is the problem in the mother board of the cellphone. Now i am calling them everyday but no action is taken by anyone. I am very very much frustrated with samsung. So much big company this teh way they work . I think govt should not allow to launch or work with kind of the companies who doesnt respect there customers.

Hello customer care department.
I would like to inform you that I have purchased a sumsung cdma virginmobile mobile from Big bazaar ( Saharmaal - Gurgaon)
-on dated 25/01/09.) I asked to Bigbazar Executive to show me condition of mobile before billing. But they say
that after billing I will show the handset. After billing I found In mobile network is not Coming. I ask
to him what is this problem, they said this is not problem in handset this is problem of network of virgin mobile.
Then I ask to virginmobile customer care they checked my no. and say this is not problem in network
or SIM Card, this is problem in Handset, so better ask to Big bazaar for replacement this hand set.
Then I go Big bazar mobile counter and tel him all the problem and I shocked to listen that he said
( Big Bagar-) "I am not responsible for that, I gave you bill its means my work has finished, and if you have problem in
your hand set talk to samsung customer care. At that time I Feel they fooled me, No body ready to talk about this,
I feel SABSE ACHHA SABSE BEKAR BIG BAZAR .
Now I think who is main culprit for this situation- I, BIG bazar, Virgin Mobile or Sumsang. my claim to Big Bazar Shahara Mall
Gurgaon to replace my Hand set Imeadetely before taking any Legal action by me, why not big bagar Checked this ITEM before selling,
if this is mistake then why not taking any action just say we are not responsible for that. We know that main culprits for this hand set, Quality
department of samsung mobile. So all of you please think that ultimately who is bearing this problem.
I have question to Virgin mobile that why you choosed samsunsung mobile for CDMA no. did you differentiate with NOKIA and Samsung,
And My question too Big bagar that why is your motto making profit only and you are not caring customer's feeling.

I purchased Samsung Micro oven - CE1072L (S/N: 16307DAQ700056L) 3 months back. I discovered a big dent on the top cover of it which might have occurred during delivery to my premises. I requested them to replace the item immediately. For last 3 months Samsung support has not done anything needful.
Their support engineers are very irresponsible. Even support group contact number is not helpful. There is no escalation method by which you can reach a responsible person in Samsung.
I want immediate replacement and the last 3 months warranty period to be appended.

This is with reference to the grievance i have submitted over the Samsung Customer Care number. I own a Samsung Split AC, which i has purchased in the month of May 08, in Chennai. The primary reason for me to choose Samsung was because of the excellent customer care record that it boasts of. However i feel extremely sorry to have a totally contradictory experience in terms of customer service.

STORY SO FAR
After the purchase of the AC in May, it was due for regular free service every 3 months, which i assume is the responsibility of the samsung service center to follow up with the customer and get executed. However there was no such call or follow up from your service centre at Chennai. Finally after waiting patiently for 7 months, i finally called the service center in Jan 09 and Instead of accepting the lacuna and resolving the same, your service guys made us go through hell by making us repeatedly calling them and getting the service arranged.
During the servicing, we brought to their notice another problem. The outdoor unit of the Ac is located on the terrace and the pipe that connects the Indoor unit to the Outdoor unit had a foam covering, while it was installed. Now the covering is completely worn oit and the pipe is naked. The service guys refused to help as it was not in their scope, but in the scope of the installation team...so instead of helping us with any contact number, they just washed their hands off the same.
On contacting the service center again, the installation guys informed us that to replace the covering we shall have to incur an expenditure of 1000/- rupees, which 50% of the installation charges.
QUERIES :1) The AC is well within the warranty period, then why do we have to incur such an expense.?

2) The exact reason for the wearing out of the foam covering is not yet derived, since the team hasn't visited the site, aren't they supposed to visit the site nad only quote a fee?

3) They are assuming that the cover would have been chewed off by the squirrels or plucked by the birds or would have been due to heat, sine the unit is kept in terrace. The above reasons have not developed suddenly, there were always existing and while inspecting the site before installation, weren't they supposed to anticipate such issues and suggested us an alternative place?

4) Does it mean that, every six months i shall have to shell out 1000/- bucks to change the foam covering. Is having an AC such an expensive affair?

5) Finally, if we are supposed to follow up with the service guys for the scheduled service, if we are expected to anticipated problems while installation and if are supposed to also spent the money, then don't u think its time we BLACK MARK the samsung customer service and warn people from buying any of your products?

It would be appreciated if the above mentioned grievance is addressed effectively at the earliest, else being a responsible customer i shall have to escalate the matter through sources and means available.

i have given my samsung hard disk drive which is not working to the samsung service center located at the following address:
samsung service centre

Visakahapatnam-530013

i have given that on[protected]. They told they will return the hard disk with in one month. but they did not return till now. i called so many times and asked, they kept on telling me it will come in next week but it did not come till now. the hard disk is under warrenty also.
