Samsung Online Store and Support Normally This Bad? or Am I Just (Un) Lucky?

Had my eye on a Odyssey G9 Neo for quite a while now, they went on sale and I pulled the trigger and purchased one on the 6th September, during the ordering process it wasn't made clear to me that they either had issues with stock or delivery etc. Got my receipt via email and it said delivery of 26th September… ok 20 days seems a bit long considering I live in a Metro location, but sure.

26th comes and goes, no monitor. On the 29th I finally log into the account I made to place the order with Samsung and go to track the order, only to see it hasnt even been allocated to be packaged for delivery as yet. Hop onto online support, they apologise and state they will "escalate" my order as a priority.

Today, a month since placing the order and a week after having my order "escalated" I log on to see whats happening. Now I dont have any option of tracking my order at all. Contact online support and they inform me that my order still hasnt been allocated - they dont bother offering to escalate or any further investigations, just told me to wait and everything will work out in the end.

Samsung usually this poor with their online store or am I just being super lucky?

    They suck in general

  • Check out previous OZB Samsung online store issue posts and have a read.

    • crap, didnt realise they had a reputation

      • Sen a few posts this year and they were like your w.r.t. after sales support was lest say lacking…. and that's a good word to use on an open forum.

  • I am amazed at how often you can buy Samsung stuff from the Samsung store at a much lower price than in a shop. If I was a retailer I would really hate that.
    Good for Jack or Jill consumer though.

    "ESCALATION" means nothing to them, its just a way to get you off the phone. I bought a Galaxy Z fold 3 online from their store that had to be sent back after 3 days, took 2 months for them to admit that they had not even picked it up from the service centre. Then another month to get a new phone back.

      way to accurate

  • 36 days since placing the order - it hasnt progressed past "preparing order" on their tracking website

    Contacted them 2 weeks ago spoke to customer support who escalated the problem, told me it would be actioned in 2-10 business days

    Contacted them last week, nothing happened, no progress, failed to really acknowledge my call

    Contacted them today, they offered to escalate the problem again and i'd hear in 2-10 business days. I explained that happened 10 business days ago and nothing progressed, agent on phone offered me no other alternative. Asked to speak to customer complaints - was advised that Samsung do not have a customer complaints department. Asked agent 'dont you think its funny that after complaining and asking for help, I was told it would be escalated in 2-10 days, now 10 days later i'm phoning back and your saying the exact same thing'.

    Agent confirmed they have 14 monitors in stock. She tried to blame it on shipping time to my state - advised her that was B/S because it hadn't been changed from "preparing order" to "ready for dispatch" or actually "on the way", so clearly that wasnt the case.

    Some of the worst customer service i've ever experienced. Not rushing back to the Samsung store anytime soon.
