Samsung

I have written confirmation from a Samsung shop manager that a replacement had been approved and a courier was sent on Monday 16th August to collect the damaged induction hob which had been agreed to be replaced. I was told 7-10 business day the replacement would arrive. I heard nothing so today , 1.9 i rang the shop team to chase a delivery date to be told they had no record of any replacement and said they couldnt help. Im now out of pocket by £1,500.29 and without any hob

    Why have you not added this to your existing thread on the subject? Take your "written confirmation" to the shop and tell them you are still waiting on your replacement hob.


    So others are not confused:

    Then why don't you ring the "online shop team" as they both suggest?
  • I have. They said they had no record of a replacement and said they cannot help

    Then I'd call them again, stating you have email confirmation that a replacement order has been arranged and if they still try to fob you ask to speak to a supervisor/manager. Also, if the email allows for a reply then use that too.

    Samsung customer services is crazy.  I had an issue with a washing machine (very expensive direct drive machine) and I had to speak to people in Korea, who were very hard to understand.  Perhaps they found me hard to understand as well because I was sent to several different teams, all who said they could not help.  By the end, although I am normally very polite, I was quietly going spare.  I just had to keep trying, it seemed as well that the right hand didn't know what the left hand was doing, and no one knew where to send me.  I did get it sorted in the end, but I will never buy anything Samsung again (purchased 2 appliances, disappointed in both, both very expensive).

    I have written confirmation from a Samsung shop manager

    Can you ask to speak to that manager, or reply to his email of it accepts replies.

    Is Samsung the retailer, the manufacturer, or both? The retailer is your first port of call.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
