“Good customer service”

Heather H.
12/27/21

So Ive had 2 watches from Samsung in the past 2.5 years or so. My first one stopped working properly in about 8 or 9 months so it was still under warranty. They were really good about trying to fix it and with keeping communication with me however I don't feel like the smart watches are really good. They replaced my first with a check and I purchased another one, next generation. So far not bad but I feel like Samsung's watches and phones tend to "die" rather quickly. Customer service is A+ though.

“Be aware that Samsung UK charges a 20% fee on returned devices—essentially a "handling fee"”

K B.
10/29/24

Important Notice: Samsung UK's Unfair Return Policy! Attention, everyone: Be aware that Samsung UK charges a 20% fee on returned devices—essentially a "handling fee" that, in many cases, costs hundreds of pounds. In my experience, they charged me a shocking £160 just for unboxing and returning a device. This is not only outrageous but could also be in violation of consumer rights in the UK. Samsung seems unwilling to comply with fair return practices, which is why I'm sharing this to warn others. Consider this carefully before purchasing from them. Let's hold companies accountable for their treatment of customers!

Short lived, wrongly advertised, overpriced, horrible engineering, even worst customer and repair service!
4 years ago, I fell into a trap of a Samsung appliances. Changed every electronic in house. In 4 years, throw away a brand new Samsung dishwasher, called service 3 times on stove, throwing away the fridge now. And washer almost done too. Only 17.000$ investment not much!
I place a call and they say 3 weeks for service to come up. We tell them send the compressor as I bought and sold last 3 years truckloads of fridges.and by now I know Samsung compressor are sh&@!
They say sure, send a guy out 4 weeks later, no compressor, 250$ bill to tell me what I already know that we need compressor
Call back again; sure we will send the part but labor on you. Guess the labor 1500$ :) because the dam thing buried all the way back.

Anyone working for or selling Samsung products beware. Corporations want to sell garbage at a high price and hide behind employees in stores leaving the public no real means of even complaining. You will be $#*!ing sorry.

My daughter bought a Samsung phone. 5 months after purchase phone would not start after a full charge.
Called Samsung and spoke to several representatives finally asking for a supervisor. I was assured the supervisor would return the call within 2 day, but 4 days later I had to call back. Reps' all spout the "policy" and have no authority to accommodate a replacement request. Finally got to speak to "Sherwin" who claimed to be a supervisor. He advised that he, nor his manager had the authority to make any exception to their policy of returning the phone for repair. I asked him then to connect me with the CSR to get a return ticket number and he instead transferred me to the carrier!
Probably the worst customer service I've experienced and I have worked professionally for many, many years!
I certainly will NOT be purchasing Samsung products again
My rating would be ZERO stars, but had to select one!

Do NOT buy Samsung products

Dishwasher door liner failed. Warranty clearly states lifetime warranty if door liner fails samsung will replace with equivalent or better. But samsung does not want to replace bur provide partial refund. After several hours and calls they agreed to provide a full refund and then few days later changed their mind. Absolutely untrustworthy and a.al... pl do not buy samsung appliances even if they give them away. PLEASE BOYCOTT Samsung!

Don't buy anything directly from samsung website. I ordered a tv and they sent me the wrong model which was $1000 cheaper. Waited 3 months for them to bring me the right one. That didn't happen. Asked for them to pick up the tv and give me refund. 6 months later have picked up the tv and still no refund. You speak to people overseas, who are totally disorganized and seriously don't know what they are doing. Instead of having an office here, where you can communicate and speak to one person. I have called dozens of times with a minimum of 30 minutes and have about 30 emails from them apologizing, but I don't know how it can take 9 months to just give me what I paid for. Worst company I have ever dealt with. Can't explain how shocked I am that a huge company like that have 0 customer service or support. Do yourself a favourite and stay right away from purchasing anything directly from them.

Tip for consumers:
9 months and still counting. I order, they sent the wrong product and NINE months and still waiting

The most expensive Samsung washing machines, Samsung refrigerators, and Samsung phones almost always break a few months after the 1 year warranty expires. Their exorbitant extortion robbery repair fees cost more than buying a new replacement from better manufacturers. Samsung company are total crooks. Any manufacturer is better than Samsung.

Bad customer service and support.
My phone broke twice. The last time it took them more than a month to get the phone back.
Samsung products that were flagship for other company is no more. It they delivering bad product quality.
In any case, I am out I never going to buy a Samsung product anymore. As the high price, you put in. It does not get you an equivalent quality. So Better stay out of this company. Trust me, I was a customer for many year
When you talk to them, they use the strategy to ware you until you give up.

Tip for consumers:
Avoid this phone and better the Brand all together

This is the worst online store. If you try to buy white goods you enter a delivery date and then wait for weeks for the items not to arrive. You will then go for weeks of online chat and be told they are escalating your case but nothing will happen. Eventually they will just mark you items as delivered even though they have not left the warehouse and will just try and get you to cancel. It seems to be happening to everyone. They are an absolute joke. I've never known such an incompetent online store. They can't deliver anything apart from phones. Do not bother trying to buy fridges, washing machines or ovens they dont appear to have any!

Tip for consumers:
Forget it.

My z phone fold 3 developed an issue with the inner screen and battery. Repair was approved, went to authorized service. They fixed it. Samsung wouldn't allow the ticket to be closed so they could be paid. Repeated calls for assistance. Somehow, "disconnected accidently" on 3 separate occasions. Now phone is getting worse. I asked for something in writing to ensure that this time, it would be repaired or given a new phone. Response? Hung up on again. I am going back to Apple products. This company is horrible.

I purchased an induction range directly from Samsung because they offered good delivery dates. I received a confirmation of the date I chose. And then suddenly the evening before delivery they changed it to a completely different much later date. No explanation, no apology, not even notification that they had changed it. Just an email telling me to make sure I am home on "date X" for delivery, with that date being much later than the one I scheduled. Liars!

Tip for consumers:
Avoid if the delivery date is important to you.

Got a brand new samsung dishwasher; defective on the right hand side door hinge. Contacted samsung, and they sent a contracted technician to check. The technician agreed that this is not caused by shipping or mishandling, because the damage is inside the machine. Samsung refused an exchange or a warranty service because it is a "cosmetic" damage. End up purchasing a new dishwasher from other companies. Absolutely NO samsung products for my entire life.

Tip for consumers:
Avoid samsung if you can, otherwise it could be burning money for no good reason

We bought a Samsung dishwasher in April 2023. After 8 months a piece from the front panel fell off and there are cracks on the side of the front panel. We got a service appointment on Dec 22nd. The technician came but he had an old part in a brand new box. They wanted to reschedule on Dec 28th but as we were out of town we agreed on Jan 8th. While waiting for the technician they called us and said they determined it was physical damage so it's not covered by warranty. It is quite amazing they couldn't determine that while on site but from memory 3 weeks after. We had a KitchenAid dishwasher for 9 years and we really regret choosing Samsung now.

Samsung products have been fairly decent for me. No major issues for me. But Samsung customer support on the other hand, is a nightmare. If you have any issues, just give up. I have been calling a few times a week, on the phone for 30 to 60 minutes to be told my issue will be escalated and they will get back to me. Its been over a month, 8 to 10 hours later and i just keep getting pushed around. The worse part is, it is now outside the return policy window on these. I have never been so disappointed in customer support before this and it is very disappointing to see. Samsung was fine a couple of years ago with a product issue but this time they refuse to help me and i just get transferred around. Well, you win Samsung, I will stop calling. Or buying Samsung products.

Tip for consumers:
Ship times of direct appliance purchase was pretty good, i ordered on Saturday and had on Wed. Sadly, that is where the good news end. You will be transferred around if you need to call. I probably sat on thephone with them for close to 10 hours to try and get my billing corrected. THey kept escalating and telling me it would be fixed. Then when i call back, they just transfer me around until i get dropped or someone just tells me they will escalate it and get back to me in a few days. No call.

Samsung has multiple class action suits relating to their defective refrigerators. Despite this fact Samsung is still marketing and selling this defective product at deeply discounted prices. The customer service departments are disingenuous at best. This company needs to be held accountable.

I ordered a appliance package when it arrived the panels for the fridge did not fit, the delivery guys tried and tried them reported that they were wrong. I called Samsung right away and they said sorry we will get them ordered and ship to you, well no they did not. They lied about that and lied when I ordered the range they add a set of pans to my order for free as a gift. Well I have gone back and forth between e-commerce and promotion about those. One dept say yes you get them the other days no. So that has still not gone nowhere. Then I'm asked for a serial number on the range and guess what there is none and I can not get no one to answer me on that. My suggestion is never to buy Samsung. Poor service and there products are probably just as poor. Spend your money elsewhere. I guess I will contact a lawyer about this. Fridge is useless without panels and no warranty without a serials number

Tip for consumers:
Don't use this site or product you will be very sorry. So frustrating

Samsung galaxy s10+ works smoothly and very much like new. Have to get rid of it since no longer supported. Bought in summer 2020 and is now summer 2023. I paid for a top line phone for 3 years. Going back to apple at least they give you minimum 5 years updates. So much talk from corporate giants about being green but sewma like only green that interests them is money!

I purchased the new Samsung S8 and unfortunately dropped it the first day and the back case shattered like it is made of glass. My suggestion to you is to be very careful with this phone and do not drop it. It is very slippery and where I bought it they did not have cases for it. Get a case first. It also crashed when Android started a new update. Since we can't take the battery out there was no way to turn it off. I tried everything the techs were telling me to try.

Tip for consumers:
DO NOT DROP THIS PHONE

From day one my new kitchen Samsung's side-by-side refrigerator has shut off without warning (goes to display mode as if it was still in store!). Samsung replaced the control board and it stopped doing it until it was out of warranty (after one year) but then it resumed going to the "FF" mode (shuts off all cooling functions). Have lost hundreds of dollars of food over the two years I've owned it. Bad customer service (they told me they were sorry about my experience;~( which perfectly matches their terrible appliance performance). Guess which brand my next fridge will NOT be?! Or any other electrical device!

Bought OLED 65" TV. Free mounting offered but the contractor (Angie) has sent people twice who would not work because their assistants did not turn up. On both occasions they wanted me to pay them privately. TV is malfunctioning from Day 1. I have had three hours of interrupted conversations on text and two hours on the phone - no solution. Even remote access and access on camera options set up by Samsung do not work. The latest message I got was 'call again' maybe you will get better technical support the next time!

I bought a washing machine in May 2021. Since then our cloths smell bad. I called Samsung who sent 3 servicemen. Neither one of them were able to pin point the problem yet i was told by last technician he can't touch it just call samsumg. I have been calling and have even pin pointed the problem. Made a video and sent to samsung even then they neglect to do any thing. Problem is before wash you add Bleach, Liquid Soap and Softner as required.
This machine dispenses everything within first 2 minutes all together via water nozzle that sprays into compartment
Thus all gets mixed and does not do what its supposed to do.
The solution is simple but they don't want to touch it.
It's really frustrating
