DiscussionI recently bought a Samsung Galaxy 23 & traded my old Galaxy 20 as part of the purchase. It was in full working condition with no marks, scratches or cracks on the screen & was assessed to be worth $155. They charged me $155 as a security deposit which was taken from my account straight away. I followed the instructions provided by Samsung Trade-Up & took it to Australia Post who packaged it up & sent it to Asurion. They inspected my device & claimed that its physical condition did not match the information I provided when I completed the Samsung Trade-Up & sent me photos of a phone with a cracked screen. They also claimed they will charge me a mis-grading device fee of $155.
I had a case & screen protector on my old phone since I bought it. My old phone left my possession with a flawless screen. It then allegedly turns up in Asurion's possession with a cracked screen. Was the flimsy packaging that Asurion instructs Auspost to send devices back inadequate as many people have complained about? Or did Asurion accidentally or deliberately break my phone once it was in their possession?
After several emails trying to resolve this matter & having all of my questions to Asurion ignored, they say that they will return the device to me. So I have sent them a device in full working condition with no marks, scratches or cracks on the screen. They have taken $155 from me. And now they want to send me a phone with a cracked screen and keep my $155. I am absolutely incredulous that they are even attempting to get away with this. Asurion's behaviour has been absolutely disgraceful & unacceptable. There are many reports on many websites that document the same unscrupulous behaviour from Asurion. I wish I had read them before I entrusted my old phone to them so I could have avoided them. Hopefully Samsung take note of the increasing weight of evidence against Asurion & find another partner because they are harming the name & reputation of Samsung.
