Last month on the 28th I requested a repair for my Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 10.1 because 4 weeks into ownership of the unit. What happened was the screen had started flickering and showing distorted colours for some reason. Given that the device was still well within its guarantee, I contacted the retailer from which I obtained it and they redirected me to Samsung who sent packaging to send it back to them for repairs on Saturday the 1st. On that Saturday the first thing I did when I got home from football practice was I packaged up the faulty tablet and mailed it back to Samsung.
Samsung say that upon receipt of the faulty device they will commence diagnostics and a repair will be undertaken so that the device returns to its owner as quickly as possible. This doesn't seem to be the case though. Luckily they print receipts at the Post Office with a web address at the bottom of the receipt to track the item you have posted, so that's what I did on a daily basis. The tablet wasn't signed for until Tuesday the 4th this month at 10:57 a.m GMT. On a daily basis I have been checking the Product Service Status page on Samsung's website and the status has been "Waiting for Product Receive". Nearly two weeks have passed since I sent the device off for repairs now, and now when I check on that damn website an error message appears saying "Sorry... your search has failed. Please re-enter your search details again or contact our Customer Care Team on 0330 726 7864 for assistance." What's going on? The device cost me a bit under
