Samsung New Zealand Recensioni 

My experience with the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro 3 has been absolutely horrible. I’ve had to send them for repair three times in just four months — and I’m starting to feel like this will keep happening until the warranty runs out. After that, they'll just be useless and a complete waste of money and time.

I asked for a refund or a proper replacement unit, but my requests were completely ignored. Every time I tried to get help through online chat, I was passed around — I spoke to few different agents, and every one left the issue unresolved.

Samsung's online support has been disappointing and unhelpful, and it’s shocking to see such poor service from a major brand.

online customer service needs to be improved.
I started online chat conversations with at lest 5 people and they all disappeared in nowhere with zero result!

To sell a phone with no charger is like selling a car with no wheels. I mean honestly another money grabbing scam. This should fall under consumer rights...because it's not right....let's build a house with no roof and make them pay extra for it...sounds ridiculous doesnt it....sell a phone with no charger..why bother buying it

i think it is unreasonable to charge $120 dollars for an inspection when it takes a 30 second glance to see a cracked screen.

I was also redirect to the 24 hour live chat by the Samsung Customer Service Plaza representative named Zen (who is responsible for taking on the job)

The 24 hour live chat then informed me they are the ones responsible for handling repair cases and he would've booked at this location anyway.

Wish I had read the reviews before purchasing anything Samsung.
Bought a bespoke fridge and tried to order the panels, online. The website doesn’t list my fridge model. I was just supposed to know it was the same size as another model listed. Tried to use my promo code but the website said invalid. Had to contact customer service and they told me the code only works if you put the code in a certain order during checkout. Eventually ordered my panels even though the default color on the website does not match what I ordered. Customer service said that’s “normal”.
Customer service then contacted me, after a four-week wait, to say my panels arrived to them broken. They said they would remake them and it would take another 1-2 weeks. It has now passed that time frame and no one will answer my emails.
Never again.

I have been locked out of my account. I forgot my password and when I tried to reset, found that the phone number they send the code to is my old work phone that I no longer have. I have tried everything to try and get them to change the number with no success. They are bloody useless and just read off a script

The Z Flip phone has a Sensor hardware fault,
Do not buy any Flip phone,
Samsung Customer Sevice is Appalling,
I have purchased at least 15 Samsung products ,
NEVER AGAIN

Always purchased Samsung S series phones and never had an issue. Their trade in plans and student discounts are awesome as well 🙏

Scamsung is way more accurate.
4 machines I’ve had (2 washing machines, 2 dryers) and all 4 have failed spectacularly.
After fighting hand over fist to have them repaired (one of each over Christmas) and months of waiting for these morons to get their act together, they offered no compensation (legally required in accordance with CGA) and after pointing this out I’m told that in spite of the $1800 it cost me to visit a laundromat (like I said, months of fighting) I was offered $400 (I refused their insulting offer) and said if I wanted what I was entitled to, I’d have to take them to court.
I wouldn’t touch a single one of their shoddy products if I was paid to.
When I’m fairly compensated I’ll remove this review.

My new Watch 7 is not sending ANY sleep data to my S20 5G phone. Samsung service has been REALLY bad, 2 months of being messed around and most of what I asked just ignored. They also refused to escalate my complaint to customer service (I suspect they don't have anything like that). They unbelievably suggested I buy a new Samsung phone to fix a Watch problem - eventually admitting the Watch does not work with 'older phones'. They also said they do not support Samsung phones not bought in NZ.

Technician won't reply when he is coming to our house the repair a washing machine. Horrible experience, planning to run errands but wasnt able to, ruined my day.

Bought a samsung s25 ultra and was meant to be sent out 2 days later. We at 5 days later and no tracking number or change in online order! Oh and don't bother calling them they can't even speak proper English! Pathetic.. safe to say I will be switching to the competitor!

Pre ordered the s25u on the 23rd of January directly through samsung. Advertised as being delivered 5th of Feb. A week later my new phone hasn't even been sent yet. I felt the advertising was misleading so phoned samsung nz to complain, they offered me 5% off a TV or 10% off a separate phone perchase (not this phone) if I buy it before the 28th of February. My wife pre ordered the same phone from Noel Leeming and picked it up on the 4th of February, with a $600 in store bonus credit. Really disappointed with the treatment from Samsung. Would not recommend dealing with them directly

JBHiFI Albany Auckland, Great service. Purchased x2 Samsung large TVs in a (Samsung cash back promotion in October 2024). It turns out Samsung are not paying customers out. In our case costing us $600. Do not purchase any Samsung promotions as they in our experience have not paid out to date.

So disappointed with their "24/7" support. They shouldn't advertise they do have 24/7 support. Both call and cat are useless and total waste of time. No help at all. I should have read the reviews here before order. Huge regret.

Samsung Microwave & Customer Service – Extremely Disappointing

I purchased a Samsung microwave in 2021, and recently, it became stuck on cooling mode and will not turn off. It cannot be reset, and I followed all troubleshooting steps provided online with no success.

Trying to get support from Samsung has been an absolute nightmare. I attempted to book a service online using two different devices, but the system froze and wouldn’t let me proceed. I then called Samsung, but my call was not picked up and dropped. I reached out via online chat, where I explained all my issues, only to be told to call the 0800 number.

When I called, I was told I had to wait for technical support to call me back “at some point during the day.” Hours later, I finally received a call while I was at the supermarket. I explicitly told them I was out shopping, yet despite knowing this, they immediately asked me for the model and serial number—as if that’s something I would have on hand. I asked for a call back in 15 minutes, but when they called, they only let it ring three times before hanging up. They then left a voicemail telling me to call the 0800 number again because they “couldn’t get hold of me.”

When I called back, I went through multiple holds and repeated all the details I had already provided. They then made me go through the same troubleshooting steps I had already completed before finally telling me I could take it in for servicing—at my own cost. Given the likely cost of the service, it would be more realistic and cost-effective to just buy another microwave rather than pay for repairs.

This entire process has been frustrating, time-consuming, and completely unhelpful. A product that fails after just a few years, combined with terrible customer service and no real resolution, is unacceptable. I would not recommend Samsung microwaves or their customer support based on this experience.

Ordered a washing machine from the online store and payed by credit card. After checkout the store popped up with out of stock. My credit card still has a hold by Samsung for the price of the machine so I'm unable to purchase a machine from elsewhere. Called Samsung was asked to fill in forms which we have done 4 times. Have been told by Samsung to get the hold taken off the card by the bank but the bank can't remove it because it's through Samsung site. Spoken to staff member at Samsung and was asked to provide a screen shot of the hold on the card done this and we start the same process over again. Samsung haven't sent an invoice or even an order number, but still have put a hold on our funds. Seriously Samsung don't sell a product you don't have in stock, don't take people's money when there is no product and if you take someone's money for a product you don't have please return it straight away. We have been buying Samsung products for years and now i am really disappointed with them. Im now looking at other brands of washing machine.

Not recieving verification codes from them, wont let me log in with out it. Charger broke, Pen Broke. Samsung 23 Ultra. Would not recoment Samsung. Deffinitly going with another provider next time. Went to 2degrees where I bought it from, they send me for an hour drive to the fixing place, they make me call. Im on the phone for an hour with someone who cant speak inglish and cant spell my name. She said she would send me an email, never recieved an email. Spent 2 grand on this product. Will never spend anymore money with them. Horrible Horrible Company, Support, no accountability for selling faulty products.

There is no denying that Samsung have some great products and in NZ, some great staff.
Unfortunatly they have some staff that never should be working for them. The eStore is horrible to deal with. Arrogant, unhelpful and certainly not able to give anythink like good service. They will deny you of a refund that should be due and get out of making a payment that most other companies would give under the same circumstances. No wonder they rate so low yet rate high overseas.

Worst customer support
Ordered a vacuum for sale which then the order didnt get processed for a week and a half with no updates then got refunded the amount. The customer support person named Paul gave me 0 help other than spamming 40 emails saying he has urgently notified the online specialists. Then got paired with another clown named Pankaj who called me on his phone and promised this be resolved within 2 weeks max and said he will keep me updated every 2 to 3 days. He emailed me first 0 times and i had to chase him up on another support person to reply to all my emails which i sent out where he finally reaponded after a week saying that the order is unavailable to process and that i just pay full price and they will refund me the difference. Which i denied as i have no faith in them even refunding me the money or that i would probably have to spend months getting a refund as seeing how useless these clowns are. After a total of 52 emails over the course of 1 month, positive that theres 0 braincells present in the support department who can help. Whats even funnier is that samsung nzs estore team isnt even based in nz but in other asian countries and samsung INDIA. If you are having problems, i wish you good luck dealing with these uselss circus crew. I DO NOT recommend dealing with their customer support team.
