      Thank you for contacting Samsung Electronics America, Inc.  We appreciate the opportunity to respond to your inquiry.  Samsung has reviewed Mr. ************* complaint related to his Samsung refrigerator.  Our records show the agent assigned to the claim spoke with Mr. *********** on 5/20/25 as well as corresponded with him via email to discuss the case.  Our records further show the agent explained to Mr. *********** that the refrigerator is out-of-warranty but as a one-time accommodation, offered to set up service covering parts only on the repair.  Please be advised that Mr. ************* refrigerator is over a year old, is out of its one-year manufacturers warranty and due to the age, it does not qualify for any accommodations; the cost of any out-of-warranty repairs would be at his expense.  Regrettably, outside of our offer to cover parts only, there are no accommodations for this claim.  However, if Mr. *********** would like to accept the aforementioned offer, please have him reply to our agents' email directly for further assistance.  Thank you for contacting Samsung Electronics America, Inc.

      Samsung issued an update to their galaxy s24 smartphone that made the phone work less effectively. The update has caused multiple malfunctions and Samsung seems to not be fixing these issues. It's suspected the company has sabotaged the update to force obsolescence and trap customers into buying new devices.

      ******* *******

      I am writing on behalf of ************ to formally demand the immediate removal of a consumer review currently published on our BBB business profile.

      The review in question is clearly intended for Samsung, not Sambboho. We are a small business specializing in handmade dog accessories, and we have no affiliation whatsoever with Samsung or its products. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this matter through your standard review dispute process, the review remains live and continues to cause reputational harm to our business.

      Maintaining a knowingly inaccurate and defamatory review constitutes negligence and may result in legal liability. If this matter is not resolved within five (5) business days, we will be forced to pursue legal remedies to protect our brand from further damage. This may include a formal complaint to the ************************ (***), legal action for defamation and tortious interference, and additional claims as advised by counsel.

      We urge you to act responsibly and uphold the integrity of your platform by removing the incorrect review without further delay.

      Bought in Nov ********************************************** **. They were delivered, and installed. 1.5 years later the refrigerator has stopped working, the freezer is completely useless, and the refrigerator portion isn't staying to cold. I've tried all the remedies without any luck. I'm waiting on a service technician to look at it, but I'm going to have to pay to get it fixed. The fridge isn't even 1.5 years old and it stopped working. I've researched this and have seen from other consumers this is a huge issue. What is anybody going to do about it? I can't afford to replace a refrigerator. Who is going to help me, I feel like no one cares?

      Lets start with I talked to an agent in Samsung care and told him I had an abrasion scuff to my frame on the left side near my s pen. Theres absolutely nothing else was wrong with it, and the chat agent told me since its esthetic it would be a full replacement of the device with a deductible off 99. *o I said okay Ill do my claim, so I processed it. Theres only one to select on the insurance claim site which is cracked screen, but I also notated The frame had an abrasion or a scratch on it from the cement, which is next to the * pen on the left-hand side on the corner thats the only thing that was wrong with the phone. I mailed my phone off for an insurance claim where I stated that the frame of the phone was scraped by cement next to the * pen of my *25 ultra and the people are actually trying to change all these parts when theres no parts that need to be changed I just wanted a new replacement phone, which is what I was told by an agent on chat that I would receive a new replacement phone for a charge of $99 And I put in the notation and yet they still have not done what I needed them to do is send me a new phone Samsung *25 ultra the gold pink color and 512 just my phone thats not scuffed basically.

      I have not received one call to fix this issue and I have not even received my defective device back yet for me to send it back so they don't charge me another $1000. What I need from you guys is to send me the pink S25 ultra in 512 GB. And my old device back so that I can literally send it back to you guys so you don't charge me again. I was told by an agent that I would get the same color same storage.  And that's all I want. This company has been the most unprofessional company I've ever dealt with in my entire life

      Bought a TV from Samsung in October 2024 that broke. After a pretty lengthy process Samsung honored their warranty and issued a credit for their website for original purchase price. The TV had since gone on sale so it covered the TV and we used what credit was remaining and $xxx cash out of pocket to cover the cost of a new stove. The TV arrived as planned but the stove was canceled and returned during shipping without my authorization. When cashing out they had spread the credit across all items in the cart so when a credit was issued for the return it was far less than the $xxx I had paid out of pocket for the stove. I am seeking a full refund for additional amount i paid out of pocket or the delivery of the stove I had ordered.

      Thank you for contacting Samsung Electronics America, Inc. We appreciate the opportunity to respond to your inquiry. Samsung has reviewed Mr. Darwell’s complaint related to his Samsung.com order. eCommerce has advised the agent assigned to the claim spoke with Mr. Darwell as well as corresponded with him via email to discuss the case. eCommerce has further advised unfortunately they are unable to process a full refund for Mr. Darwell. Mr. Darwell’s order was a bundle deal and he received the television at a full discount. The agent did however offer Mr. Darwell a $200.00 promo code but he declined the offer. Regrettably, outside the $200.00 promo code offer, there are no other accommodations for this claim. If Mr. Darwell has any other concerns, please have him contact the eCommerce agent directly for further assistance. Thank you for contacting Samsung Electronics America, Inc.

      Complaint: 23337837



      I am rejecting this response because:

      The items purchased with the credit were a tv and an electric range. To suggest that I bought those as a package deal doesn't make sense since I was issued the credit due to a warranty reimbursement for a broken tv. The television had gone down in purchase price providing an excess credit that I used in combination with addition cash to purchase the ele tric range. To offer another credit to buy something from your store that is less than the cash paid for an undelivered product is not a reasonable resolution.

      I had a Samsung Galaxy Z flip 5 and within a few months the phone would not charge. I had to mail it to samsung to be repaired under warranty. I decided to upgrade to the Samsung ************* 6 in August 2024 to try and avoid future problems. By Novmber 2024 I had to send the new phone to samsung to be repaired for black/frozen screen. Now 6 months later, May 2025 I had to send it to them to be repaired again for screen problems. I spoke with customer service and explained under Consumer rights I should be given an option of replacing this model phone with another. I spoke with one customer service member who said they would offer a replacement after 2 repairs and another who said that is not the policy. I do not want this phone, obviously there is a problem with the "flip" design and the phone does not function properly. My warranty expires in a few months and I fear I will continue to have problems.
