Terrible after sales from Samsung

Recently ordered the S25 Ultra with two phone cases and few other items. One of the cases I ordered was described as red coloured. On opening the box, it transpires that Samsung think neon pink is red.

I requested a refund to find Samsung wanted to charge a return fee of 25% of the item!

I expressed that the customer should not be penalised by inaccurate product descriptions by the seller. 

The first customer service rep cut me off and the second really tried to get a full refund approved but their manager wouldn't let them. 

In many countries, such as my own, we have consumer protection laws that are meant to protect against such situations. Samsung are blatantly in breach of those laws yet seem to be immune to any form of accountability. They don't reply to posts and seemingly have no complaints policy.

Unless you are 100% sure, as in, seen the item in real life, please don't trust these wannabe criminals with your money. They don't care about your experience or happiness.

Samsung you've lost me as a customer. The lottery feels a better investment.

Can I ask you, do you speak about Samsung UK? I had good experience with Samsung Support and only positive.

Yes, Samsung UK Shop customer service, which I believe is still based in the Philippines.

Whilst some of their CS contractors/staff are terrible, to be clear, even with a CS rep that I knew was trying her hardest, Samsung seem to have policies that run contrary to UK consumer laws.

I have had abysmal support from Samsung. They read from the same obfuscating script. After 7 months of delaying and 'kicking the can down the road' tactics from their non-support, I have involved my credit card company and returned the phone to Amazon - and got a full refund issued. Samsung ,, the company, are rubbish.
