Samsung cheating customers by cancelling free adapters from Fab Grab Fest sale

I ordered Samsung Galaxy F23 from Samsung Online Store 0n 8 May and it had the offer for free 25W Travel Adapter. The phone was delivered but the adapter was not shipped at all.

After making various complaints to customer service and various assurances that they are looking into the issue, Samsung cancelled the order on 28 May.

Now they are asking to buy the adapter for Rs.299 using a coupon.

After wasting so much of my time on this, now I'm fighting an email battle with the customer support who is refusing to accept that free adapter should be given in my order.

Plenty of people are also complaining about the same on Twitter.

This is bait and switch and fraud. I'll never purchase from Samsung Online Store again after this experience. Are any of you facing this issue?

This is the latest email thread where they don't even both to give me a proper reply. If any of you have a Samsung product and might need to use customer service, this is what you can expect from Samsung. No support at all.

On the contrary, opposite happened for me. Purchased Galaxy flip last week and to my surprise, received voucher of 1.5k today which i utilized to purchase 25w charger.. Its already shipped and expecting tmrw.


Having said that, had bad experience last time around wherein I made a mistake in phone number in shipping details. Immediately I called up to rectify but they did not cooperate, said shipping is taken care by 3rd party. Had to reject order as i did not get otp and then reorder to get the order.

They were not giving any response at all and the Rs.299 coupon was going to get expired. So I bought the adapter using the coupon. On the same day it was delivered, I got an email that they checked that I have already used the coupon.

I sent another email asking them to give me refund or gift card for the same and then they gave an empty response:


> Dear Customer,

Thank you for reaching out. This is Rajkumar for Samsung Shop Support.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you.

Your patience and understanding are highly appreciated.

Best Regards,

Rajkumar

Samsung Shop Support


At this point I gave up.

Phone itself is holding good. Its quite bulky and heavy but there are no issues as of such. Camera is just average but screen and performance are good.
