Samsung promotions totally unreliable

This is the second time that I write on this site about not receiving the promotional watch and earbud that was supposed to be delivered within 5-7 working days. I bought 3 Samsing phones (a35's 0ne on 1 December 2024 and 2 on 5 December 2024). I have only received one of the promotional items now after more than 2 months. Although Samsung contacted me after the first review, the other two items are still not received. Samsung is now doing similar promotions with a better watch for the new S25 - beware if you trust them to deliver as promised. I wonder if all the people still waiting for the December promotional items should report Samsung to the National Consumer Tribunal. They would then get a significant fine. They should also be barred from promotions where they can't deliver.

Thank you. I am also going to report this now to the Consumer Goods Services Ombud and thereafter the national Consumer Commission.
