Samsung Lies to customers

My wife upgraded her mobile contract with Vodacom to take a Galaxy Note 20, Samsung promised to give a 32 inch Led TV. We went through by applying and attaching all documentation. We received a reference no. saying that it would be delivered after it has been finalized. I called Samsung call centre. They do not have a record of this reference or application. I have sent over 11 emails. I had a response saying that my wife needs a TV license. This was sent on the application. They insist that the TV license must be on my wife's name although we have been married for 29 years in COP. I have indicated that Sabc indicates 1 TV license per household. Samsung said that we need a merged tv license. In Samsung terms and conditions there is no mention of a merge TV license only a valid one. Samsung has fooled their customers with this offer. They need to be taken to task

Hi Samsung
Unfortunately, I don't believe you. Your call centre has promised to have a Manager resolve the issue and I have not received a call as yet. Very bad service. It is very sad that my wife has always been a loyal customer of Samsung products. This experience will indicate if we would buy Samsung products in the future.

Still awaiting feedback from Samsung. A reference is logged by Samsung to escalate matter and that's all.

Customer service extremely hopeless. Waiting for resolution and they seem as though they want the customers to complain. They ask me for my wife's TV license. Now that they have everything. They say they will get back to me once dispatched and they go silent. Ive sent emails and no reply. They don't even take responsibility on their own name. What pathetic service

Samsung, I am still awaiting delivery as you promised. You 1st had an excuse about the TV license. You promised delivery and nothing. You had a consultant call me, Tiffany from Samsung. You should be ashamed of making promises. You still have a nerve of having a consultant calling me to rate Samsung while nothing had happen. How do you do business? Samsung uses the platform to promise customers without fulfilling them. Samsung Lies to customers. ????

I received the TV yesterday afternoon. This has been very challenging with Samsung. A lot of effort from my side. I don't wish anyone to go through that experience. But I am glad that I made the effort to retrieve what belongs to me. Thank you Hoosein
