Samsung - Shocking pathetic service

Samsung service is Pathetic and Shameful. Ous Samsung washing machine which is a year and a half old broke down and we wanted to have it repaired. We went to Samsung repair centre in Belville, they sent us a quote very quickly, we were assisted by Ruwayda Birch, we paid it and that is where everything halted. They arranged a pick up day, my husband took a days leave. He was in the bathroom when they called, he called back and they said that they would turn around. That was on Monday, it is now Thursday and we have hear nothing from them since. They do not respond to emails and they do not answer their calls. I called Samsung this morning at 10 am and spoke to Charmaine, who told me that the parts for the machine are not yet there, they haven't ordered it yet, then kept me on hold and then informed me that someone from the service centre would call me back. Now at 15:00, I had to call back again. Charmaine was sneezing and coughing on the phone while speaking to me. Telling me I must wait till 5 for them to get back to me. The actual audacity because my husband has been off for 2 days waiting for them. I insisted on speaking to them, they then transferred me to Lerato who had me on hold for 15 min and still couldn't put me through to the service centre saying they are not picking up. Then she comes back to the line and says that she spoke to the service centre they will collect today. When i said when and what time as we need to go and pick our kids up at school. She said a technician would call me, couldn't give me the name or anything. this is absolutely shocking service

I am so so sick of this. We got contacted on saturday to say that when they repaired it all of a sudden now there is a whole in the glass that apparently can't be seen with a naked eye. We requested a new invoice and a new incident report which the guy said they are busy doing it, we should receive it in an hour. We are still waiting. We have phoned 7 times and each time the call is cut. What is actually going on!!! It would be easier to buy a new washing machine for all the grief that you people are putting us through.

Now i get a call from *** it rings literally once and then hangs up. this was at 12:44 today. I call back, currently on the call for 4 min and now the person who called me is busy. R6000 in repairs - still no washing machine, still no incident report. I want a full refund and you can keep the damn machine

Good day Kim,
I hope this email finds you well.
We would like to apologize for the unpleasant service that you have received from our advisor and cannot even begin to imagine how disappointed you must be.
We have contacted SSS Cellular our authorized repair center who is assisting with the repairs of your unit, to get an update on the repairs. We have been advised that an additional part was ordered which is expected to arrive tomorrow. Once the part has been received and unit is repaired it will undergo a test to ensure that all is well. If we do not come across a fault and the tests are completed successfully our service center is hoping to have the unit delivered to you by the weekend.
Based on the mentioned “ I want my money and my washing machine back”, may you kindly confirm if our repair center can proceed with the repairs?
Best Regards,
Customer Escalation Desk,

I said do not repair and you went ahead and did it - WHAT THE HELL?????
