Pre-order, Trade-in, promotions, discounts - Need help!

Hi. I ordered through Samsung shop app - Samsung s24 ultra 1TB, payment got deducted and order went through,

After an hour, got an email that order got cancelled for some reason and now I cant use my vouchers. 

No specific reasons mentioned. 

Did anyone find a fix?

Sounds like a conspiracy theory but here we are again. Samsung directs customers to send their trade in devices via FedEx. 

Customers follow all the instructions and Samsung keeps their money because they say they get an empty box. Even have a picture of an empty box to "prove" it.

Customer is now out the trade in value and the old device. Samsung says talk to FedEx. FedEx says talked to Samsung. 

What a racket. How many millions made off the backs of loyal customers? Maybe employees acting on own but if the companies are not in on it, why don't they stop it?

Funny you posted this as I just finished chatting with Samsung. I want to trade in my watch 5 for the 6. But scared because of the horror stories like yours.

There are many such cases. Common answer is for each company to point at the other - leaving the customer to hold the bag.

I've traded a number of devices with Samsung. Have never had one go missing or had any issues with Samsung concerning traded in devices.

Hello everyone! Quick question. After sending my trade in device how samsung knows i send it? Because im still receiving reminders and mails. Thank u 😊

You need to use the label they provide. If you did use that label but are still getting notifications, don’t worry about it. Just make sure you track it and see when it’s delivered to make sure they got it. Always keep your tracking information just in case. This has happened to me many times as well, but it all works out for me. I just think it gets backed up with all the trade-ins handled. Reminders are just automated reminders.

Thanks 😊

Until they tell you the box was empty and keep your money. Tell you it was FedEx problem. Who hired FedEx?

Samsung hired FedEx.  They paid for the shipping label that they send out.

It is very rare that the empty box scenario happens, there may be many here stating this claim, but they are still in the minority, we have no idea how many are actually victims, and not scammers.
