UTTERLY
DISAPPOINTED!
This
feedback
is
partly
for
the
Oxford
Street
Experience
Store
and
partly
for
the
Samsung
mobile
parent
operations
(call
centre)
in
UK/London.
The
operations
of
these
two
entities
are
completely
disjointed,
and
each
of
these
entities
keep
referring
to
others
as
'they'
with
the
customer
being
tossed
from
one
side
to
another.
Firstly,
I
reserved
a
handset
via
call
centre
to
be
picked
up
at
the
experience
store.
The
call
centre
told
me
this
can
be
picked
up
immediately
within
3
days.
I
went
to
store,
was
made
to
wait
30
minutes
and
then
told
I
can't
walk
in
and
have
to
wait
for
a
confirmation,
and
was
told
'they'
(call
centre)
misguided
me.
Then
I
wait
indefinitely
for
the
confirmation
email
for
three
days,
but
no
email
was
received.
So
I
called
the
call
centre
again
(waited
more
than
60
minutes
before
I
was
connected
to
a
customer
service).
Call
centre
said
'they'
(experience
store)
are
slacking,
and
then
get
the
experience
store
to
acknowledge
and
generate
the
confirmation
email.
I
visit
the
store
again
to
pick
up
the
handset,
and
trade-in
my
existing
Samsung
phone.
After
being
made
to
wait
for
20
minutes,
the
trade-in
evaluator
gave
me
a
relatively
low
trade-in
price
for
a
phone
in
great
condition
(
this
price
was
much
lower
than
price
evaluated
online).
When
asked
why,
again
I
was
told
that
('they')
the
online
samsung
entity
is
different
and
value
the
trade
in
devices
higher
than
stores.
(Why!??)
Samsung
Mobile
and
Sales
Channels
are
highly
disjointed
and
lacks
customer
centricity.
Learn
from
Apple,
especially
for
premium
products
like
Fold
4.
I
highly
recommend
customers
to
use
other
stores,
or
switch
brands
if
you
value
customer
service.
Its
a
pity
that
a
flagship
store
of
a
major
brand
in
a
major
hub
like
London
has
such
fundamental
service
issues.
Its
a
matter
of
time
before
the
service
and
sales
operations
of
Samsung
will
implode
and
destroy
the
brand
image.
Something
for
Samsung
Executive
Leadership
and
Senior
Management
to
consider
if
they
are
reading
this
review.
I
will
route
this
review
to
Samsung's
Corporate
channels
(in
South
Korea)
as
well
through
my
business
connections
as
this
requires
some
fundamental
intervention
at
a
corporate
level.
Needless
to
say,
my
10
years
streak
and
loyalty
of
investing
in
the
Samsung
brand
is
over.
I
have
lost
faith.
