Is Samsung has the worst Customer Service ever?

Hi,
My Galaxy S had a faulty accelerometer since I bough it. I took it to Authorised Samsung Service Centre as advised by Samsung Helpline.
On 14/08 I've left my phone for repair in Service. On the same day the engineer called to say they couldn't repair it and they will send it to Samsung Service on the 16/08 and it takes up to 10 working days to get it back. So the phone was send by an authorised service centre on 16/08/10 should be back with me, within 10 working days, which means I should get the phone back no later then 31/08, as 30/08 was bank holiday.
On the 02/08 I contacted Samsung to get the information on the repair and whey there is a delay, and I get the following answer:
"Regarding your case, kindly note that your call to us was made on the
25th of August 2010 when the service request was processed into the
system. Then it takes 2 Business days to receive the jiffy bag, once you
send out the jiffy bag it should take 5- 10 business days to receive
your phone back. You should be receiving your phone back on time."
But the thing is I didn't call them on the 25/08, I didn't receive any jiffy bags and I didn't send anything to them as the phone was send by their authorised service centre.
I'm over 3 weeks without the phone and without the hope that I get it soon, as following their line I will probably get around 13-14th September (1 month since I took it for repair). For me this is an appalling customer service and it is unacceptable.
It takes forever for them to answer any queries, and if they finally do, their response in no way answers the query. If I try to call them , Im lucky to get through in 20 minutes, and they it's almost impossible to get the competent person to talk to.
I am seriously disgusted with them to the limits.
Did anyone else also experience similar problems with them?

i would say yes
i got the phone the very first day it was released
it got bricked
called their customer service/tech support
they said we don't take care of that
go back to your cell phone provider to service it.....
I was left speechless to say the least.
it's been almost 6+ week since i sent my phone back to my phone company and still no word of it.
Horrible support from Samsung.
if it were not because it's the only phone in the market, with the top end hardware, i would have already switch to another phone maker just because they decided not to support me.

I had somethinge similar, I emailed them about my gps and lag, well they just ignored me, and i send that email like 3 or 4 times...
I really dislike bad costumer services!!

They really loosing a big time as a result of their disgraceful customer service. They have some great products and they would sell as twice as many if they could only provide honest, respectful and reliable customer service. This can't be that hard.

I received similar customer service from HTC a few years back for my P4000. "Oh your from Canada!" " "You have to contact Telus for service"
Five ....yes five units later I got an acceptable swap.
Panasonic is another gem to deal with... horrible service.

I agree with the statement ...Samsung Customer Service, it's TERRIBLE. That being said, there are ways of rattling the higher ups cages, with emails and phone calls. They really hate to be bothered with service issues. This is the one and ONLY way I have ever received any type of "support" from Samsung.
Also, once I did receive the support, they were extremely quick in rectifying my issue(s).

With all due respect, this just seems to me like standard run-around customer service from most big companies, nothing really horrible or unexpected from what I have heard at all.
If you want a story about bad customer service, I can tell you my story about Acer.
Laptop died, ok, so laptops die. Ship it to Acer in Ontario for warranty because they have no walk-in depots (??). Two weeks later, get it back, original problem is fixed, but now they have installed a French keyboard and made the screen hinges squeak (???). File new issue, have to mail it away AGAIN, get it back, keyboard is now English again, but hinges STILL squeak, and now the PCMCIA slot cover is broken. Third time, mail it away again, finally, comes back issues repaired.
Total time without a working laptop? Two months.
Stay AWAY FROM ACER! The service depot seems more dangerous than a construction site.

In my experience, no. Try dealing with Virgin Media's Customer Service if you really want to experience incompetence in abundance. That said, I've had to deal with Samsung CS numerous times this week and only once have I gotten through to someone helpful...

Auth service centers are not same as true samsung service centre. Auth service centers just do basic repairs and if they can't they log it via samsungs online or tel helpdesk. Auth centers can be any company that passes samsungs tech tests. Its not samsung you are dealing with at the centers but a normal repair business. Its same with any company as they can't afford to have repair centers everywhere except big cities/countries

My experience is the exact opposite. I find that Samsung customer service is way better than HTC (my last few phones).
When my Galaxy S was bricked because I flashed an CDMA ROM onto my phone, I brought it in to Samsung service centre to repair.
Surprise no. 1
The service centre said it will try to reflash my FW and told me to come back in an hour's time. An hour! At HTC, you wait for days just for them to flash your ROM
Surprise no. 2
When I went back in 1 hour, they told me that they failed to reflash the phone and have to replace the motherboard. Phone will be sent in to Samsung. Told me to come back 3 days later. I was skeptical. At HTC, changing motherboard literally means a wait of at least 2 weeks (if you are lucky). But 3 days later, the phone was ready for my collection.
Surprise no. 3
I was told that the repair is free, under warranty. This was despite the fact that I was willing to pay for the repair. I mean, c'mon, the phone was flashing an AT&T splashscreen. At HTC, they void your warranty even if they detected you have hardSPL your device.
So all in all, my first experience with Samsung customer service is very positive.

Even if they gave me defected phones, the customer center here has already replaced 2 phones for me. I'll be getting the 3rd replacement today, hopefully it has 3 button downloads mode.

same experience for me too.... infact i think i have used more than 5 different high end phones from samsung for past 2 years.. and i had a good experience with the service as compared to other companies .. once i had bricked my samsung omnia i900 and they replaced the mother board free of cost under warranty (without a single question) and that too in 2 days time... and now the staff there know me well and give me a priority in case i have any problem, thats why i prefer samsung mobiles than any other company
and on the other hand i had a Motorola handset which i dropped in the water.. and after that it never showed the network but when i took it to the service center , they told me that this problem cannot be solved .. as they dont even have mother boards and in the process they damaged the screen.. and handed over the phone to me saying that it was already with a damaged screen... now i had to fight with them and get a screen replacement just to use it as an ipod/music player... and i had to pay Rs 200 ..just for nothing they said it was a service charge..

Nice, But it all depends on the guy and service centre. They can sometimes suprise you

QFT.
People seem to often think that companies are a giant automaton. But in reality they are just collections of individuals. The luck of the draw when you get assigned a service person is a huge factor. The sad part is, the excellent service people usually end up being promoted away from the front lines.

I dont see what the problem is. The problem the TS speaks off is common practice from all big companies. The law (at least in Holland) saids that if your buyed product is defective within your warranty period, you should go back to the SELLER to get your phone fixed or exchanged or sent to repair centre/manufactury.
It has no use to call Samsung, cause they wont be able to help you with this. Every company in the phone business will give you the same answer.
My experience is to get your phone fixed in repair centres. Official or non-official. I have a SGS too, but in the past i had different phones. When i wanted to fix my Nokia with the seller, they said it would take weeks before i would get it back.
Then i went to a repair centre who is working with Nokia and they repaired it in 30 minutes. If you send your phone for repair, it will take weeks with every company on the market. If you get it fixed in a repair centre, max 1 day
The story dat Samsung has bad customer service, is just a story people tell you because they heard someone else who heard someone else said that.

I agree, there customer service is the worst ever, I have sent my Galaxy tablet off to them twice now and they have not repaired the intial fault..I will never ever bay another Samsung product ever again..I am thinking of taking them to court..glad to see am not alone!

try 3
i have to say that compared to 3uk samsung are excellent , i recieved a call from them today about a problem i had, they may not fix all problems that second but the customer service team have kept in touch updated me as to what is going on and what they are doing,and as they themselves dont fix the problem they are just the point of contact so far they have done an excellent job.
now if the problem gets fixed is another matter

My 3rd Galaxy Note in 3 months Shuts off randomly (purchased February)

I've had Galaxy Note since February of 2012......Had it replaced three times under warranty through AT&T for same problem. (At least AT&T overnighted the replacement unit got it today)
All the note I had loved to shut off automatically and randomly........
1) Whenever I pickup a call, the phone shuts off (all the time)
2) It reboots by it self inside my pocket
3) It reboots by it self sitting while sitting on my desk
I see a lot of Note user are facing this problem........is there any solution? I've tried couple stuff that was posted on numerous posts.
Also what should I do once my warranty expire? I have 90 days under this refurbish warranty....original phone was till February 2013.... not sure when will it expire.
I've called: AT&T Customer Relation, Customer Service, and Warranty Department as well as Samsung Tech Support. (The only thing I got $25 credit towards my bill)
A Gentleman from Warranty Department told me that he always see this problem.........he sent me a replacement unit immediately and even offered if I wanted to get replaced with Galaxy S3.....unfortunately Note 2 was too new to be replaced......but still I have asked to get Galaxy Note.
Spoke to Customer Relation...what a awful service this guy said "I have Galaxy Note but never have problem" and accusing me for dropping the phone and etc........that the reason I've got $25 credit to my balance. (I could have got more but was too tired to fight for it)
Samsung told me that if I face this issue call Samsung again and they will fix it.. But I will be without a phone for roughly 1 week to 2 week.
What should I do after my warranty expire?

Honestly, i do believe most of us do not having this problem if on ics or gb stock rom.
Do you check with samsung service centre what they did to repaired or solve your problem?
Did samsung change any hardware? Or either update your software only?
If samsung only update your software, it might be hardware problem. In other way, if samsung did change your hardware only, it might related to kernel/rom problem.
If samsung did both. Just go there again and request new handset.
Keep all the repair receipt as record. If samsung refuse to replace new handset when problem still exist. You might need all this record as proof for complaining to consumer body.

Samsung did not repair or replace anything on my Galaxy Note.
ATT replaced my phone with their refurbish one all three times.
I might send it to Samsung next time I have this problem.......
thank you

if its random reboots, its worth trying a different battery

lol there is something you are doing that is wrong. That or the shop you go to has given you the same phone unfixed back.
eliminate if its an app issue by unstakking the app you are installing.
update your phone throught Kies. etc etc etc

The problem with getting a replacement is that it will be a refurb. probably with a load of problems the same as yours that don't show in a quick test. If a load of pple hand phones back wigh this they probably just turn them round.
I may be just cynical...
from the man hiding in your attic....

maybe Note 1 is bad luck? How about a Note 2 subsidized for a little extra? A nexus 4? s3? HTC One X+? LG Optimus G?
i'm sorry about your phone rebooting. best of luck and happy holidays!

Never experienced any sich thing on my note since feb 2012. On stock 4.0.4 lr8

ASUS customer service is ****

Hi - STORY TIME!!
So when I got my phone, I was very happy. I got everyone in my family to get the same one: zenfone 2 laser.
But now I am so fed up with this company it is ridiculous.
My phone has had issues since the beginning, because everytime apps updated it shut down. And then other random times it would just die for seemingly no reason.
Over a month ago I got an RMA from ASUS.
I sent in the phone immediately, and waited a couple days until it arrived at the facility.
Finally, it arrives, and what do I find out? They gave me the wrong repair center address and they need to forward it to a different repair centre in another state. They're going to do that the next business day (which happened to be 2 days later).
6 days go by after they sent it out, and it finally arrives at the new repair center.
Now, 18 days later, the RMA site still says a repair is in progress. I have been emailing them back and forth trying to get a proper answer. They finally told me yesterday what's going on.
"we apologize for the I convenience this issue has caused you, the repair facility have found an issue with your motherboard that is not common and have to contact our headquarter in regard with this issue. They are currently waiting for a man advise that will cause the delay of the repairs for your device."
Are you kidding me? Basically the motherboard is ****ed and you don't want to just replace the phone like you should be doing? And 18 days to contact headquarters and find out what to do?! Is that a joke?
I'm usually pretty chill and calm and nice about these situations, but this is ridiculous. It's been over a month since I saw my phone.
Has anyone had a similar experience? What did you do about it?
Am I being unreasonable here? I just don't see how this kind of customer service is acceptable.

I just had an awful experience with them myself. Asus literally sent the wrong update OTA to my ZE551KL. I kept my device 100% vanilla, didn't muck around with root, etc. and still ended up in a bootloop. I tried to install the latest firmware from their website to get it working, and yet it told me the version I had was newer. When I contacted them, they told me I'd have to send it in.
So I was literally forced to install a new recovery and unlock it just to get my device working again. Asus makes great hardware, but unless you have one of their high-end laptops (which I do), the customer service for everything else is terrible. PM me if you want, I have some corporate emails I used to get some problems rectified a few years back.

a week after the purchase i've had a problem with the back cover, it was completely covered in stains, so i've contacted asus support and they made me ship the complete phone to rma after a tedious procedure on the site and after ask a thousand times the same things.
After 10 days the phone came back with a new cover, but...
the warranty seal on the screws was ripped, so no more warranty
the proximity sensor was not working
the gps was not working
The support didn't responded me anymore, and also they have denied the zencare warranty saying that the back cover is not an hardware component
asus support is made by a bunch of clowns and the quality of their products is inexistent.
I've resolved my problem buying from ebay a phone with broken screen and using it to replace the mainboard, but guess what? on my phone there was some parts missing...
I'll never buy an asus product again in my life, same as my family and my friends.

I had a positive experience while dealing with Asus Service Centre, I had completely bricked my phone while trying to flash a pre-rooted firmware. So I handed over the phone directly to the service centre and I got back the phone after 1 day. Do one thing send a direct email to the zonal head of your area and inform him/her about your predicament, I'm sure something good will come out.

I think.... u get a fault phone.... when u buy a phone....
And electronice device when u repair then if u have 1 error after u can have an error different...

guys if you really want to use a nice zenfone..switch to cm13..coz it never gets messed up...i personally feel awesome after flashing cm13 and custom kernals.. AND HAVING ALL FACILITIES OF A ROOTED DEVICE..

I have a feeling they will sell very few of their premium priced ZF3's to anyone who has had experience with their customer service in the past.
When you could get a ZTE Axon 7 with a really good 2 year warranty for 400 USD, Asus doesn't have much to offer in my mind. They STILL haven't released MM for the first and most expensive Zenfone 2 models with Intel hardware.

Note 4 tmo purchasing replacement motherboard

Hi, I finally gave up on trying to keep my note 4 revived but being in almost perfect condition, I made a decision to purchase a replacement motherboard.
Knowing people are trying to unload parts with the same issue, I chose to purchase a new one (as so it says)
After getting the part, I was able to install in about 25 min.
Booted up upgraded to latest firmware...
Ran good for 1 day before issues started!
The moral to the story is buyer beware!!?

I'm over UK for now but my Note 4 was out of warranty it's a Network 3 brand network factory unlocked. I had this same problem as everyone else here ddi : mmc_read fail got to a point where the freezer trick worked but I got fed up and took it to Samsung Service Centre on Friday. Told the the problem ad showed them video footage of the problem. They replace my motherboard with a brand new one and FREE of charge which was a bonus as I was going to break it down and sell it for parts. If there were sign of water damage they would of billed me for the work and new motherboard which is not cheap.. They did it on-site within 90 minutes..
It's always worth a try to go in house and ask..
They check the warranty with their database and not your bill invoice for the device.

Another Battery issue???

Everything was going well with my phone. Went to sleep without plugging in and phone battery completely drained. Note 8 would not charge or turn on. Force reset didn't work either. Had to send it in directly to Samsung (Under Warranty). They advised me it could take 2 weeks to "Fix" & get back... NOT HAPPY!
Anyone else?

Of course you are not happy. Non of us would be. I make zero excuses for Samsung....but....In every brand there will be lemons the point is how well Samsung resolve your problem.
I would have thought that this being the most expensive Samsung mobile ever and considering its only been out a few months I would have expected Samsung to exchange for a new one on the spot. Samsung after sales just sucks.
I hope you get this sorted out. Let us know how you progress.:good:

Once I had to give my S6 on warranty back to Samsung when USB port stopped working. They told me after a week that I have to pay like 400-600 USD for repair. They didn't even care about warranty. Then I told them that I won't pay for it and after 2 weeks they sent me the phone without fixing it, but USB was working fine again after it came back. I think they sent it to repair anyway cause they thought that I will pay for it and then when I said no they just gave me back a working phone lol. It was supposedly an authorised Samsung Repair Centre.
And for the charging problem. Note8 has a little security thermal diode that checks if everything is okay with the battery. Maybe it fell off due to bad soldering and it just didn't allow Your phone to work. Battery security in Note8 is huge. It's more secure than any other phone. I'm wondering if Tesla cars have same amount of security as Note8 does.
Oh and by the way. Here in my country services suck too. I had to wait for 6 months to get my money back for my smartwatch that died after 3 days.

Hi, exactly the same issue with my Intl Note 8 128GB after a week or so, I'm still struggling to get support from vendor (eBay) but things are not progressing at all, I'll try to get it fixed but your comment is scaring me... did you tried another service center?

Samsung took over a month to just issue me another phone. They first gave me an s7. I called them & they told me that "I Authorized the substitute"
Which I certainly did not. How on earth do you accept a $200 phone for a $1000 Phone? I sent it back and they wouldn't give me a Note 8 because, "It was not the original phone that was not working". They told me they couldn't substitute an s7 for a note 8... I was like"WTF!" I original owned a note 8 and I bought it directly from them... I told them to trace the original IME number... Finally got it last week.
Warning: They were not able to fix it! And they wouldn't tell me what the problem was.

Well, that scared me much more!!! :crying:
It's good for you to have a replacement, I don't even have warranty so I'm at my own and my hopes are at the lowest level by now...
I'll update when I can get a report from the repair center.

Why the flaming title of this post? Do you want to initiate a collective histeria as with note 7? Because you mention "another battery issue" just go and claim warranty,these things happen all the time to ALL devices, gadgets, appliances, machines, vehicles, etc, the standard procedure as with any legally acquired item is precisely is to CLAIM warranty! just because you paid for a relative expensive device, it does not mean that all units will be perfect, warranty centers are full of many devices, even many times more expensive than a note 8, every day, car dealers receive cars, and so on, if you have a car, you would know what a REALLY pain is to make a warranty valid, so, think a little before begining to spread flaming concerns about something that is statiscally expected

I agree to disagree...
It's not the first time for me...or the second....or the third....or the fourth. It's on going with many people and many different devices.
True, manufacturers have problems which most of us can tolerate. But, it's like the sexual harassment we have today ... no one will talk about it alone....but collectively.....well, The "Flaming Title" caught your eye...so I did my job. Now, if people have a problem, they can come here to relate.
You no longer need to validate your point... it's taken
