I emailed Samsung again seeking compensation: (I quote)I had a reply and offer today: (quote)Dear Samsung
19 November 2021
I will be seeking a gesture of good will of £180.00 (minimum) + compensation for the inconvenience.
This figure is based on the difference of the original paid amount of £1149.00 and the current Black Friday deal amount of £969.00
£1149.00 less £969.00 = £180.00 plus any other suitable compensation (gesture of good will).
The original order for my Galaxy S21 Ultra was placed on 23 Oct 2021 and received 25 Oct 2021
It was returned on 27 Oct 2021 (just 2 days) and received by Samsung on 28 Oct 2021.
I was originally told to wait 7-10 working days (from the collection date) for my replacement Galaxy S21 Ultra mobile phone.
It has now been 17 working days and the new order is still “processing”.
The new order number is: order number quoted (according to the website)
The original Galaxy S21 Ultra mobile was delivered the next working day, why wasn’t the replacement sent out earlier (I’m still waiting for the replacement).
As I previously mentioned the status of my replacement Galaxy S21 Ultra mobile is still “processing”.
I am astonished that a big company such as Samsung are not as well organised as I would hope.
To save time and further delays here is my bank details:

They are taking the urine.
They came back to me today and offered a £30 voucher.
That's £20 less than 2 days ago.

I have threatened them with returning the phone under the 14 day cooling off period and then buying an Apple iPhone 13.Martinspuddle wrote: ↑Wed Nov 24, 2021 22:55 pmOne thing I've learned over the years, always take the first offer!
Obviously I didn't use threatening language, just made the point.

I bought a samsung 4k TV last year just before christmas and I wish I went with LG ( as I'd normally would! ) Wifi disconnects and won't reconnect if the tv is on standby for more than 5 minutes, and the backlight bleeding is awful.

I have a Sony 55" AG9 which is a fantastic 4K TV, it'll be 2 years old in 6 weeks time.

We must be lucky, never had any problems with Samsung products or their customer services. Our last television, which was a Samsung LE32B450C4 32-inch lasted ten years and was still working until the boss decided she wanted a smart TV.
We have two Samsung phones currently, plus the two old ones still work perfectly. I have two Samsung PC 22" monitors, one LED on this PC, the other is stored in the loft, working but a eleven year old VGA/DVI-D port screen which unfortunately I can no longer run with my current graphics cards.
I didn't say anything before @Stephen but I was somewhat surprised when you told about the issues you were having with them.

My Sony KD-55AG9 (stock photo)
The price has dropped by £600 over the past 2 years.
The customer services staff seem to be all working from home.
I have now filled in a cancellation form (14 day cooling off period), I've only had this replacement for 6 days, I'll get the form posted recorded delivery.
I bet they will make another excuse.
I've now set up an old phone temporarily.

I keep getting fobbed off with excuses, although they are polite they are not very helpful (not as helpful as I would wish).Martinspuddle wrote: ↑Fri Nov 26, 2021 18:30 pm I didn't say anything before @Stephen but I was somewhat surprised when you told about the issues you were having with them.
