    Just an update on customised phones.
    Change in order status this morning from "processing" to "preparing dispatch" for my phantom navy s21 ultra 128GB. Hope it will be shipped soon. I ordered it on 28th March.

    Hi all

    Just wanted to confirm to everyone that I have been charged back by Asurion. Here are the details:

    Here was the deal:
    $1099 for s21
    Less $500 samsung bonus
    Less $200 online chat code
    Less $315 trade in of s20
    Total $84 change over to new phone.

    I can confirm I got charged $270 ONLY by asurion due to my s20 trade in condition isn't what was stated. There is a tiny crack on the screen which I honestly only saw on the day when I packing the phone up to send back.

    Therefore, the total change over now sits at $354. Which, in my opinion still a decent deal considering the previous phone had a cracked.

    Good luck to everyone else.

    • droodle on 15/04/2021 - 15:36

      • 8azinga on 15/04/2021 - 22:48

        There is no reason for them to send it back. They didn't charge back the full trade amount which means they accepted the trade but at a lower grade due to crack on the screen.

          My S7 trade in value is $15 and they charge back full, so they should send it back XD

          • 8azinga on 16/04/2021 - 15:22

            @superforever: They should in your case but not katsudon's case as it is different.
            You could ask them to send it back as per the t&c.

This is not the first time I did trade-in with Samsung, I remembered they sent me a tracing label to my house and the guy collected on the spot but this time is a bit weird

    Anyone else having horrible issues with their order/customer service. Ordered on the 26th March. Recieved email that my order has been dispatched on the 29th March. Wasn't provided tracking number so called support who provided me tracking number. No updates on tracking for a week. Called back and was told my order was "being held at the warehouse". I questioned why and the support could not tell me why. Said they will log with warehouse to ship the phone. No updates still so called back again and asked to be escalated to supervisor. Supervisor apologised and provided me with new tracking number (no email updates though) - saying my order has shipped (7th April). No updates on tracking AGAIN. Call back "still being held at warehouse". Support are fu*ken hopeless. Managed to be escalated to higher up management to contact warehouse to ship my order. Its now the 15th. No updates, No ETA, No hope. How does this shit happen with such a big company like Samsung. any ideas what i can do?

      In the end they just said it would be easier to refund me than to resend them lol

  • Spiderdragon on 16/04/2021 - 01:32

    Sounds like Asurion is really picky about the condition of the phones. My S8 has a tiny scratch in the corner that is barely noticeable, but would be worth $0 if Asurion considers it damaged etc.

    Might be safer and less hassle to just keep my phone and cop the non-return fee ($70).

    • Serapis on 04/05/2021 - 12:14

    Should I be worried lol

    • Schumi5 on 16/04/2021 - 10:13

      Have emailed 3 times and no response from anyone. Waiting game continues

    • netsurfer on 16/04/2021 - 12:44

      My guess is the status of both orders on Samsung's Web site are likely to still be in Dispatched / 3 - On the way status (even though StarTrack has reported the item has been delivered (and signed for) ages ago). Due to the system thinking the new phones are still 'on the way', it won't send the return labels yet (because it thinks you still haven't received the new phones yet).

      I contacted Samsung CSR a week ago regarding this for my order and was hoping she could update the status so the return label will be issued. She doesn't have the ability to change that. She did indicate there was a system migration and that was the cause of order status not up to date.

      I doubt Akshit will be able to do anything. Akshit generally just states the obvious and not being helpful. If the system ended up charging our credit cards, do you really think he cares?

      • mt2000 on 16/04/2021 - 13:05

        "My guess is the status of both orders on Samsung's Web site are likely to still be in Dispatched"

        Yes this is correct both my order statues still saying Dispatched. Well nothing more I can do at this stage. I have emails to proved I tried and nothing happen. Even told Arkshit about the flaw in their system not updating the order statues.

        • netsurfer on 16/04/2021 - 16:54

          Need to check whether the actual status is 3 - On the way or 4 - Delivered. An OZBer indicated his status is Dispatched / 4 - Delivered. He did receive the return postage label.

      • Scarecrow2012 on 16/04/2021 - 15:47

        Here is a thought, because we have notified Asurion that we have received device and have not got the email set out in 8.2 of the contract, they have not provided it. They have broken the contract with us, therefore no need to send back the trade in phone.

    Hello Oz-bargainers,

    Has anyone ignored the emails from Asurion to return their trade-up phones and not sent their trade-up device? If so, how much did Asurion charged you: just the trade up value OR $500+trade up value?

    I have read the T&Cs and its very unclear on the value that we would be charged for not trading the phone. I have also read all the messages here but no one has confirmed the actual charges that was applied to their credit card. I'm looking for factual information and not assumptions on the charges.

    So if anyone has got their S21* model and has not traded-up their old phone, pls post your response on how much did Samsung / Asurion detect from you.

    Note: I wanted to trade my S7 edge for which I got $25 as the trade-up value in the app. Now, I just changed my mind and want to keep my S7 edge, and I'm happy to be charged $25 trade-up value. However, if Samsung is going to charge me $525, then I'm more than happy to return my old phone. I know its cheeky but that's what this whole group is about, isn't it :)

        • lordra on 17/04/2021 - 22:47

          What was the amount that they were going to charge you? (just out of curiosity)

    • IpGem on 18/04/2021 - 20:37
      +2

      For what it's worth, I think this will fire back a great amount at Asurion/Samsung for turning away perfectly conditioned phones just due to a small non recognisable scratch from normal wear and tear. I mean c'mon, you expect a 4 years old S8, iphone 7 etc. to have no small very very tiny not so recognisable scratches from day to day using even after phone was protected all the time using cases and screen protectors?
      And on top of that Asurian is not sending the phone back, I bet people wouldn't mind keeping their well conditioned phone as a spare if they have to submit their new phone for warranty claims as Samsung hardly offers a same phone rather offers s3 or s4 as a temp phone.
      I can see no visible scratches on my S8 and reading these horrible stories of people where Asurian took their phone and then charged an amount too, I think I'll keep my phone and let them happily charge my card.

      Also, don't you think cancelling credit card could cause you any troubles? Like affect your credit or anything?

      • FeZZa21 on 19/04/2021 - 12:21
        -3

        for your last question, not really. if they send the debt collectors, I'll pay. like I said above, it was just an OzB card for points so it was already scheduled to be cancelled when it got cancelled.

        I see it as fair compo for buying before Samsung decided to give most others $200 voucher for no reason to stack with.

        • IpGem on 19/04/2021 - 20:01

          They're handing out $200 vouchers as Samsung can't afford to have another series failure like S20. S20 sales were horrible compared to Samsung's earlier series. With such vouchers they've sold millions just in half a month. I won't be surprised to see more such vouchers offered from Samsung in upcoming months.

              Had the phone for over 2 weeks, and hardly use fingerprint scanner.

              Its definitely the glass protector messing with the scanner. I have re-registered my fingerprints a few times, but nothing improved.

              Have been advised to get rid of the glass and get a "gel" based protectors.

        Actually I didn't realise that it comes with plastic screen protector. But i already bought glass screen protector othewise i might just use that. So wondering whether the glass screen protector is causing the problem itself or the phone fingerprint is not as as smooth as traditional fingerprint button.

      Your order is probably still in 3 - On the way on Samsung order status page. It is unclear (1) when Samsung's system will correct that and (2) assuming that implies Samsung has not yet informed Asurion that the order is delivered, does that mean Samsung has not yet requested the old phone trade in rebate amount from Asurion?

      My guess is Samsung accounting department will eventually notice this problem and get the orders fixed (or if they simply asked Asurion for the trade in credit amount in full, Asurion will swipe our cards).

    • ExtraSalt on 19/04/2021 - 13:10

      i had the same issue. It was because Samsung's order status had not progressed further than Dispatched. I assume everything is automated from the time you accept delivery so if the Samsung system is bugging out, they wont inform Asurion that you have received it.

    Auspost showed delivered 14th April
    Received "Dont forget your device needs to be returned" email 16th April - didn't take any action as first line of email stated "if you've recently returned your device please ignore this email"
    Today 19th April received "Order Completed" email from Samsung "Customer Services Team", the contents of which looks pretty much the same as the original order confirmation email, except it has a line saying "T-ASURION-TRADEIN" with the phone I traded in.

    Not sure if this means I'm all set - will update if anything else happens.

      i came here to comment the exact same thing! haha i got an email yesterday mid-morning saying "a (partial) return has been initiated for the order:…" then blah blah about steps to return. i was going to call them this evening but at 1:03 this afternoon i just got an email saying my order has completed. Also not sure if thats done and dusted. I had a few minor scratches on the metal frame but after a chat to the fellas at the Samsung Kiosk, marked my trade-in as 'no scratches or dents' so i've been sweating on that $200 decision lol.

      My S21+ arrived on March 22nd, got the Trade-Up confirmation email the same day.
      Posted my device back on March 23rd.
      Got a Trade in Device not Returned email reminder on March 29th.
      Auspost confirmed the return was delivered on March 30th.
      I've heard nothing since. No confirmation email or anything. I can only assume it's all good?

        Same, I sent my phone back on 30/03, I received the reminder email on 06/04. The return phone was delivered on 07/04.

      Yep - just got the same email.
      “Your order has been completed. We hope to see you again soon”

      I only sent my phone back friday afternoon, so i doubt asurion would have even received it yet??

          I sold my iPhone for $200 in gumtree, asurion trade was $90 with High chances of rejecting it.
