Samsung returned my new Laptop with a crack

[SabsS8]

Hello Community

Up until now Samsung have been great but this could be the turning point for me personally.

I sent my brand new laptop for a repair because there was issues with the Brightness buttons. However upon its return the screen had scratches on it which looks malicious as its not even a cracked but a scratch from the top of the screen to the button. I believe it was done by the repair engineers so that they could charge me to repair the screen as its not covered by my warranty as its physical damage. Just got on the phone with them and they said I need to pay for it. It was in pristine condition when I sent it off.

Been with Samsung for around 10 years but honestly with this poor customer service maybe my time has come to an end.

Has anyone else had this situation where they sent their device and it comes back damaged and they have the audacity to charge you to repair the damage they caused. I know I have seen a video online where Samsung Engineers deliberately damage products to void warranty.

Sorry to hear, I find the 3rd party repairs pure money grabbers and shoddy repairs, Likewize and First ??? before that.

My own recent experience was two attempts to repair my ZFold4, scammed me for some extra scuffs, but bodged the front screen, the issue was the inner screen.

Anyway I was not letting them have it a 3rd time, currently requested a Barclaycard charge back so I can repair elsewhere.

It's always best to take videos and close up photos before and after if an issue. That way it's evidence based.
