      What was the refunded amount?

    • GoldStar on 06/02/2025 - 21:36

      I assume your order status is changed to complete order? I was advised by Samsung, this would be the case & then refund would be triggered.

      • Mregmi on 06/02/2025 - 22:11

        Where it says complete? All 6 steps completed and the last one is 'delivered'.

      • junfila on 07/02/2025 - 12:13

        Under my account it shows as "Delivered" (Buds3 pro shows as "Cancelled") and got an email with the subject "Your order is completed: Thank you for choosing us!"

    • Avi0001 on 06/02/2025 - 22:23

      How you asked them for refund?

      • junfila on 07/02/2025 - 12:17

        I was able to cancel the buds3 pro right after placed the order from my account, and as I mentioned yesterday got the refund automatically, didn't have to ask

  • McBargain on 06/02/2025 - 20:41

    Did anyone ordered the Samsung Rugged case for your new phone? Do you mind giving a quick review. Is it very bulky and heavy, how's the grip and look of the case. Thanks.

      Check this out https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0DJ9V6CP6. In my opinion, it's better than all other Samsung cases.

        Too expensive

    • McBargain on 06/02/2025 - 22:42

      I was referring to this case https://www.samsung.com/au/mobile-accessories/galaxy-s25-ult… which was available for purchase on the Samsung website when I pre-order my s25 Ultra. Wonder if anyone else selected this as part of their accessories, and if so what are your thoughts.

    • Avi0001 on 07/02/2025 - 13:32

      It will be delivered on 13th Feb.

    • Crimzic on 11/02/2025 - 20:43

      This review says it's not bulky: https://youtu.be/GBHGrPiuwZw
      My case has just got shipped, the phone was delivered yesterday.

    • Crimzic on 12/02/2025 - 22:00

      Received the Samsung rugged case today.
      It increases the size of the device very little - not bulky at all. Buttons are still easy to press. Protection looks OK - the edge around the screen is quite high - around 4mm, but the one around the three main cameras is only ~2mm high - I would prefer if it was more significant.
      From ergonomics perspective, it feels plasticky and a little slippery, also the edges are a little sharp to my liking. Maybe I'll get used to it
      Overall, I like Spigen Rugged Armor on my old S21 much better :-\ Will see, maybe will get another Spigen case later.

    Phone delivered this afternoon. Samsung website shows "on the way". Trying to return earbuds, whilst i seem to be able to individually tick the items, the final hurdle of 'initiate return' is greyed out. Seems random as well playing around with which items to tick to return as sometimes it ticks the phone as well, sometimes it doesnt. Buggy as hell…. but hey thats Samsung and one of the reasons as well why we all can end up stacking coupons. Anyone with other ideas?

    • 8azinga on 07/02/2025 - 01:27

      Sell it yourself and dont waste staff time and delay people who actually do need customer assistance by asking 20 different people in the hope you find someone who didnt get the memo.
      It's not buggy. That's how they set it but still cant initiate return so doesnt matter.

  • marquisite on 07/02/2025 - 00:45

    S25 512GB Blueblack delivered on 6 Feb (and ordered on 24 Jan). I received a shipping notification just hours before delivery, although the first tracking event is from Monday morning.

  • leasky on 07/02/2025 - 01:22

    Is anything thinking of taking the hit from ausiron and going with mobile monster they offered me 405 for 23 plus so with late fee its 460 but with mobile monster i can get 620 are they geniune ? For trade ins

          They are good. I received the $950 funds for my S24 Ultra the next day after dropping off the phone.

        • akyeeeahdude on 13/02/2025 - 08:46

          They're pretty good. Sent my S24U in - I described it as the second best condition rating ($920 instead of $950) as it had one very small scratch on the side metal. They assessed it and offered me $890 because of "superficial scratches". I called them and said I took photos before sending it and that there was only one very small scratch on it and said that I wanted them to send me photos of the superficial scratches. The Rep said she'd ask for it to be reassessed and for photos to be provided if they didn't agree to the $920.

          It was reassessed and I got $920 so good outcome.

    • Mattapie on 07/02/2025 - 09:35

      I just took my old phone there a few mins ago - $420 from MM as opposed to $280 from Asurion.

      • leasky on 07/02/2025 - 11:26

        Take it in where do you guys have a drop of point or you just meaning the post office ?

        • Mattapie on 07/02/2025 - 11:27

          They have an office in Melb city you can drop off at

    • fadingcolor on 12/02/2025 - 15:54

      I only concern about what they put in the line when not returning, Samsung might take away the bonus credit if go down that path. The exact line reads:

      You have 7 days to return your device to Asurion once you receive your new eligible Galaxy device. If you do not return your device within 14 days, you will be automatically charged a Late Return Fee of up to $60, which is non-refundable. The Security Charge will be held until your device is received and graded. Samsung may also charge you for any additional bonus credit applied to your order.

      I reckon it is a give and take, Samsung reserves the right to do so.

  • Rb34gtr on 07/02/2025 - 01:52

  • Nyclix on 07/02/2025 - 03:48

    Bit of positive news. My order that was originally set for delivery by the 7th but was then updated to the 11th has now been shipped and estimated to be delivered on he 7th again. S25 ultra Jet black 256gb, buds pro, case and film. Hopefully it comes today and other people that's had theirs delayed get a nice surprise.

  • chickennix on 07/02/2025 - 07:46

    So I have an iPhone 13 registered for trade in. I can get more $$$ for it elsewhere.
    So.. as I understand it, if I don't send it in I will lose the $300 pending charge plus $60.
    Is there 100% no risk of this affecting my trade in bonus too?

      No. No impact on trade in bonus

    • jimojr on 07/02/2025 - 08:14

      $300 trade-in value has already been applied to your order, you’re giving it back, not losing it.

    • cloudie9 on 07/02/2025 - 08:19

      Probably you will have to let them know that you are not sending in, so you don't get slugged with $60 late non-return fee.

      • Travelling panda on 07/02/2025 - 08:32

        So have we always had to let them know we aren't sending in, or is this first time? I could have missed it as in the past people just pay a $30 or $60 no sending in admin fee?

        What reason would people be giving ?

        • cloudie9 on 07/02/2025 - 08:33

            @cloudie9: I m in the same boat as I have already sold the tradein device so no chance of sending tradein back. Is it that straightforward? Sorry for asking as I am new here. In NZ , i never get charged for the tradein and always use to send the tradein back. Reading about Asurion, i realised they may not refund even after sending a brand new condition pixel so decided to keep it or sell it outside. It is sold now.

      • OZcheepsk8 on 07/02/2025 - 09:25

        have you done this before and not get slugged? wasn't sure based on how your comment was phrased

        • Emenent7426 on 07/02/2025 - 09:52
          +1

          I have done it with Assurant NZ in New Zealand. The Samsung NZ or Assurant never charges a security fee and have sent phones back to them twice with no issues. Once i did a Tradein here, i mean Australia, i read Asurion feedback and decided not to send the phone back, either keep it or sell it on Facebook marketplace. now I have sold the phone and not planning to send anything back. Is it good to cancel now or wait for the time out after 60$ late fee is charged. This is my first time doing tradein in Australia.

          • burgo101 on 07/02/2025 - 10:14

            @Emenent7426: I've had Asurion claim the security charge for the S23 I've put with my Trade In. I recieved the phone yesterday, but I am thinking that one of my parents may need the phone as a replacement for one of their older devices.

            Should I contact Asurion to let them know I'm considering cancelling the trade in to avoid the late fee? They've not yet sent the reminder about sending the phone in yet

            • Emenent7426 on 07/02/2025 - 10:53

              @burgo101: @burgo101 I am in the same boat mate. Need to wait for 60$ to be charged or request them to cancel. Not sure but the option of cancellation from website is now gone

            • double_J on 07/02/2025 - 10:59

              @burgo101: Just ignore Asurion email. They will debit $60 from your card eventually after few days/weeks. The security charge will not be refunded, so technically your new phone is a bit more expensive than the tax invoice you received.

              • Emenent7426 on 07/02/2025 - 11:49

                @double_J: And the tradeID cancellation date is 5th March 2025. So technically I am free from trade after 5th march 2025.

          • Emenent7426 on 07/02/2025 - 10:48

            @Emenent7426: Now can not see the option of cancel tradein in the tradeup portal.

      • watupman on 07/02/2025 - 09:07

        Ive contacted the samsung team and they said due to the voucher that we used ($200), we won't get any money back even I return the buds :(

        • burningrage on 07/02/2025 - 09:37

          I think you should try with another staff (chat or phone) because if you have already received confirmation of the cancellation, they cannot just unilaterally turn around and say you won't get any money back. It's a legal document.

    • jimojr on 07/02/2025 - 08:21

          Those who are saying they got their refund are not lying. They cancelled the buds after purchasing and got the refund after the phone was delivered. Its different than returning the accessories after receiving them.

    • WalterBiH on 07/02/2025 - 08:58

      FYI regarding timelines.
      I managed to cancel my Buds through the app on Friday 24 Jan around 4pm.

      Yesterday (6 Feb):
      00:00 - Samsung : "Your order AUxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx is on the way!"
      11:43 - Delivered
      13:51 - Asurion : "Samsung Trade-in: It's time to send us your device"
      13:53 - Samsung : "Samsung - Payment refunded"
      13:53 - PayPal : "Your refund from Samsung Electronics Australia Pty Ltd is on the way"
      13:55 - PayPal : "Refund received"
      14:31 - Samsung : "Your order is completed: Thank you for choosing us!" (including new Tax Receipt without Buds)

      • watupman on 07/02/2025 - 09:08

        How much did you get it back? When I called this morning about the refund process, staff basically told me I won't have any money back due to the voucher that I used for the accessories

        • WalterBiH on 07/02/2025 - 09:09

          The exact amount for Buds: $179.40

          • watupman on 07/02/2025 - 10:20

            @WalterBiH: Oh shhhhh.. that's awesome. Did you do it through an app? I can't use an app since I bought it from the edicational store. Anyways you think I can get a refund through here?

            • WalterBiH on 07/02/2025 - 10:33

              @watupman: As I said in my post, I cancelled Buds in the app before they closed the loophole on 24 Jan. I never specifically followed up the refund (after reading stories here about the different stories given by different agents). I just waited for Samsung process to auto complete (again as others have advised here) and refund magically arrived - even earlier than I expected.

              I was also prepared to cop the loss of the refund and/or Buds considering we were all gamin the system and taking a gamble.

              Hope it works out for you others as well.

              • watupman on 07/02/2025 - 10:35

              • burningrage on 07/02/2025 - 11:44

                @WalterBiH: This is good to hear. The only problem Bud3 Pro is over $200 so not getting the money back means you're at least $30 out.

                I've been advised to wait for 48 hours so I guess I am calling them on Monday. The reason is I was paying the phone using Afterpay so if I leave it too long, I might have ended up paying them all before I get the chance to talk to them about refund!!! It's already 2 out of 4 instalment being paid.

                          @thedean: This is a fake copy and it's not from Samsung. Look at the stickers on the side of the box which are different to the original one, and also the original comes without the wrapping plastic layer. Last year like these days, the asking price on fb marketplace for a fake Buds2 pro was $50.

    Got my Jet Black 512Gb Ultra with Pro Buds & Clear Magnetic Case yesterday morning. Added the ESR screen protector immediately after peeling off the black protector from Samsung avoiding the extra cleaning step and finger print re-registration. Easy peasy. The only pain is having to go through all the apps that need reconfiguring as the app data doesn't get transferred.

            It's a full screen protector, with 0 cutouts for the camera.
            I've had the most success with them especially with cases, fits with almost a less than 0.5mm gap (cant stick my finger nail between it) between the Spigen case + glass protector.

            I've found the other brands on amazon to be a hit and miss, either too small and a larger gap for dust to settle, or interferes with case (causes lifting when pressing hard on case sides)

        No issues if you register prints after applying otherwise from what I've read you need to reregister prints if you done it beforehand.
