For those on Verizon, you can take it into a Verizon corporate store for an exchange

just got a message from Samsung on this n7 (bet you guys seen it) about it not being able to be taken in flights thr recall yata yata yata. STILL they have no mention about 3rd party returns! hello Samsung! it would be a lot of a hell easier to just take them all in stores no questions asked (not like it can be reused or anything) like cribs!

Even if you didn't buy it from them

Took waiting on hold for 30 minutes earlier today, but I spoke with a US Samsung rep. I have one of those fire resistant boxes being delivered next week. Stated once the phone and all accessories are returned a check in the amount of $864 will be mailed within 14 business days. The rep said that if I can show proof of purchase (which I cannot since this is a replacement phone from Samsung) I would also be reimbursed the sales tax.

I'll keep you all posted.

I'm pretty much done with Samsung after this. I have been contacting them since September 7th when they first issued the "voluntary" recall. I've had at least 11 phone calls and 11 different ticket numbers. I thought I finally got somewhere with them last Friday when I had requested a refund. I was given a "511" number and told a box would be sent to me to ship the device back. Obviously, I never got the box. I called back on Tuesday, and the girl on the phone told me that I couldn't send my device back because the recall had expired. I lost my cool and ripped into her big time - it didn't help the situation, but I felt better. Then, after the "official" total recall and seeing that Samsung had a process for folks in our situation, I figured I would wait until this morning to give a call. I got through and spoke with a woman named Jasmine in the Exchange Department. They are obviously stateside because she spoke perfect English. She found my ticket number from last Friday and said that the guy who helped me never sent in the request for the box to be shipped. Shocking, I know. She confirmed all of my information, said she put in the request for the box and that it takes 24-48 business hours. I asked how the box will be shipped, and she said UPS. Since I have a MyUPS account, I will be keeping an eye out for it. I'm not very confident that I will receive it, but I am trying to be. I have moved on completely from Samsung and took advantage of the deal on the HTC 10 of $150 off. I received it on Tuesday and I am very impressed with the device. Goodbye Samsung, it's been real!

Wow what a total crap storm dude. Total nightmare. Samsung is awful at this

UPDATE: yesterday I received the return box in the mail. So the guy I spoke to and last Friday actually did follow through and send the return box back, despite what the girl on the phone said yesterday. We can see they do a great job of keeping notes and tracking what the last call rep said and did. I packed my original recall phone up and sent it back. I took a picture of the label as well dropped it off at UPS and requested a receipt. I'll be tracking it daily to make sure they receive it, then will hound them to make sure I get my refund. This should be fun.

Not everyone can. If you are an enterprise (business or govenment) customer the stores have no access to your account and they will refuse to take the phone.

Are the boxes being shipped back to Samsung or a carrier?

 

[tmilicia]

For those of us dealing directly with Samsung, our boxes/note 7 will ship back directly to Samsung .

Goes back to an address in Coppell, Texas. I am assuming it's a return warehouse for Samsung. It's actually addressed to someone named Jasper Morse. You only need to send in the phone. There's no room for anything else.

 

[cisco150]

I can confirm they are blacklisting the imei after you call and start the refund process it happen to me. its imei is blacklist on sprint but using on att untill they pass the info to all carriers then ill be dead. awaiting a shipping box from samsung now

My Visa was credited by Samsung approx 3 weeks after I returned the phone in the "special box" to Texas.

Everytime I called samsung and the message said 'if you're calling about the recall, press 1", I got some kid with an accent who was reading from a script and gave me a ticket #. The last time, I did not press 1, and the call defaulted to USA sales. That's when I finally got someone who knew what to do - she didn't care about previous tickets - she looked up my order # or IMEI ( I don't remember) , send I'm sending you a return box . I got a few days later.

Today, I tried to call both Samsung and Tmobile for refund my note 7. Their answer was similar to last week. I have to find original buyer and proof of purchases. The situation is same as last week. What should I do ? It seems that Samsung treats customers cases by cases. Someone can and someone cannot. What should I do? Very confused.
