Dear,I recently had issues with my Galaxy Fold 4 that I purchased last year. I went to the Samsung Experience store in Brussels on the 16th of September 2023 to get this fixed. I was informed that they would need to order the necessary part to fix my phone and the order can only be made once I leave my phone with them. I complied with this and left my phone with them. Three days later on the 19th of September, I received news that they are unable to fix my phone as they are not able to find the part which is needed and that I need to use the pickup service to send my phone to the Netherlands, the main center, and they would be able to fix my phone. I once again complied and did this on the 20th of September 2023. I took a backup of my phone using the temporary backup option under maintenance mode and sent my phone for repair using the pick up service.I tracked the progress of the repair online and saw that they too needed to order the necessary part. I then received an email on the 26th of September, stating that it is not possible to repair my phone and I was offered a new Fold 5 in exchange. I was not happy with this and the color offered. I requested a different color on the same day.The next day on the 27th of September 2023, I received a response stating that they can offer me the requested color. I agreed to this on the same day and received a confirmation that I will be contacted through Samsung's delivery partner within 10 working days to have the new phone delivered to me.I then waited to be contacted, but till today I have not been contacted nor can I get a confirmed date as to when I will receive my phone! I have sent several emails to the exchange team who was in touch with me to offer the new phone and to the customer service via WhatsApp. I was then told that the color I requested is not available and they proposed a different color again, to which I agreed on the 3rd of October 2023. On following up with them again on the 12th of October, I was informed that since they were not able to provide me with the color I initially agreed for and a new proposal was made, the new date of 6th October is the start of the waiting period for the 10 working days to be contacted!In the mean time I kept asking the exchange team and the customer service to speed up the process or to extend my backup duration (as it is valid only for 30 days), but kept hearing the same standard responses that they cannot speed up the process and there was no mention or response to my request for extending my backup.In this day and age where it is very important to have a phone, I have been without my phone for over a month! I have also lost all my data for no fault of mine!I called the helpline number listed on their website and was informed that they cannot do anything regarding my backup and I will just need to wait it out to see if my data is there or not! I was also informed by them that the system shows the new request for the black color only on the 13th of October 2023, 10 days after I agreed to a different color as they don't have the availability of the phone they initially agreed to give me!! I have to wait, according to the customer care representative for 10-15 days from the 13th!!I therefore kindly request you to take the necessary action to ensure that me being a loyal customer of Samsung is justified. I am extremely disappointed and have been under a lot of stress trying to get a straight answer from their customer service who respond only when they feel like it and the rest of the time the customer is ignored!
