Samsung's unclaimable warranty

6.7K Posts


I needed a new phone in a hurry, so on Monday I went on Amazon and found a nice Samsung phone. It's an "Amazon Exclusive", so I assume only Amazon sells that specific model in the UK. I paid extra for express delivery, and it turned up this morning.
Having read plenty of "someone's stolen my phone" threads on this forum recently, I examined the box very carefully. The box was sealed, with stickers saying "Do not accept if seal is broken".
So I cut the seals and looked inside. There's a phone, a charger, and a "Warranty Card" (that looks more like a booklet to me). Reading the warranty card, it's only valid if it's been signed and stamped by the dealer.
That doesn't make any sense at all. Amazon aren't going to be signing and stamping warranty cards, and they certainly aren't going to be signing and stamping warranty cards that are inside a sealed box!
If it sticks, force it.
If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.

Samsung themselves state:
so provided you have the receipt, not having the card stamped won't be a problem.
