WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE

We are used to poor service but samsung takes the cake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paid for the flagship soundbar from samsung on the 19th of March, I was never informed about stock issues or delays in deliveries, so I went about my day, the same day I also purchased from Makro and my order was delivered to an outlaying area the following day 20th of March, on the 23rd of March i checked the status of my order and it showed delivery 26 March , but to my surprise on the morning of the 25th at 2 am i received an email to explain that there is a delay and the new delivery date is set for 2 weeks from date of email, never once did anybody at samsung contact me to explain what the cause of the delay is, i struggled to get hold on various platforms only to be met by generic emails and responses and when someone actually did contact me it was to inform me i can most probably wait for 6 weeks before receiving delivery !!!!

Never again in my life will i support Samsung and i am ashamed at myself that i did not check all the reviews before buying samsung.

Another thing to note, when the Samsung agent contacted me via the phone they were extremely rude about the fact that I am upset with the poor service delivery, when they informed me about the 6 week waiting period I asked them to put it in writing but they refused

Wow another generic response from Samsung, truly showing everyone that they do not value its customers.

Hey Samsung how about this , tell your ceo's and directors to get out into the field visit stores read the complaints because we the people are gatvol

Miraculously after a few threats to go public and a hello peter review, my soundbar is getting delivered today, and as glad as i am i still have a ton of questions how do you go from saying 6 weeks delivery to a 48 hour delivery it makes no sense

Just an update courier company let me know that they can now only deliver on tuesday, guessing my optimism was short lived
