Disappointed in Samsung's service

On the 14/03/19 I went to Vodacom Midland's Mall to get an upgrade. I chose a S10 plus and the Vodacom consultant told me that there is no free screens anymore. The Samsung consultant was in the shop so we chatted. I agreed to have the cover from Samsung for R499 once off. I stil joked and asked what is my free gift. He told me that I would receive Samsung Buds via courier and R500 off any Samsung accessory.

He took the phone and told me that it was all done, he had registered the phone. I still used the R500 off voucher when I purchased a Samsung cover.

The buds were delivered to my home a few days later.

I didn't check my husband's bank account to see if the money was deducted. I believed since I received the buds and used the voucher that all was in order.

My husband dropped the phone and the screen broke. On the 22nd of August I took the phone to Samsung Pmb and they told me the phone wasn't registered. They asked me about the e mail that I received from Samsung but I did not receive any and I wasn't aware that there should have been an e mail.

I think it is very unreasonable to just leave it at that. I was under the impression that all was in order as that was what the Samsung consultant told me on the day of my purchase.

I have been trying to get a response from Samsung but to no avail. They keep telling me someone is going to contact me and It just never happens.

I will never recommend Samsung to anyone! After only getting a reply now, 15min ago, after I had to phone Samsung yet again,(They never phone back when they say they will) I was informed that Samsung takes no responsibility for what happened! They blame me for not checking that the money was deducted. They do not feel that even after their consultant assured me all was in order, I received my R500 off and receiving my buds via courier, that they had any part in not deducting the money from the account! As we have a business account and have used only Samsung handsets, I'm truely disappointed and disgusted with their service! Even their staff agreed and understood where I was coming from but it is obvious Samsung don't care about their customers!
