Oh, and appliances, too, but they're not worth mentioning since they're so unreliable.

That's how Samsung handles a mispriced item.

Last year, Samsung had a deal of a pair of Buds2 for $29.99 after trading in ANY wired headphones. Lots of people, including me, placed orders then Samsung sent out cancellation email saying it was OOS. But before I received the cancellation email I already received an "Order Ready For Pickup" email. So I went to Best Buy and picked up the Buds2. Samsung sent me a trade-in form and I mailed in a pair of $1 headphones from Dollar Tree. Took a long time but they finally sent an email acknowledging my trade-in and completed the order.
I don't think that was a price mistake. I had Buds2 shipped, and didn't have any issues. Samsung had plenty of time to cancel my order and didn't. What you're describing happened with many orders with BB pickup, likely related to BB inventory levels.

Anyone remember the S20 Ultra deal from a year or two ago? Samsung actually called up FedEx after they had shipped and had them returned to Samsung.

Got a confirmation about an hour or so ago. Just got the cancellation.

Price did seem too good to be true...
Oh nooo, I got a confirmation shortly before 4 with my order through about an hour before that. Hoping I beat some kind of cutoff and they honor some of them 🤞

I've traded in 4 + phones (phones in good condition ) and 2 watches…zero issues/ I think people send in junk then say Samsung sucks when it's rejected
You can't make that assumption at all. I have sent in 12 phones and 5 watches and only had a minor issue once. But so what? My experience is meaningless in the sea of 100,000+ trade-ins that go on in a month. So all those saying "I had no problems" or "I had nothing but problems" mean squat... you would need access to real, objective metrics to determine the real level of risks and issues. For example, a Consumer Protection org that tracks all submissions, and could factually state "12.5% of submissions were rejected in 2022" or something similar. Only then could you say how risky this process is...

Vocal minority. People who had bad experience are more likely to air their grievances compared to when things go as planned

Samsung has these metrics. If they have too many complaints and rejections they would obviously investigate who they choose to evaluate their trade in devices

Samsung uses a third-party vendor which probably hires minimum wage workers for device evaluation, so all the issues people are reporting are annoying, but not surprising.

My favorite one was with A71 purchase couple years ago. Samsung was taking ay Android device for trade-in, so I sent an older Samsung Galaxy phone. It got rejected due to being a 'non-Android device'. When I asked Samsung if they ever released a non-Android Galaxy phone the chat agent promptly manually accepted the trade-in.

Best time to exchange S22 ultra to get that sweet sweet S23 ultra
Looks like $600 if you trade in S22U. That's just not worth it. S23U is not $600 better. Would need to be around $300 to be worth considering.

Quote from Nova9000 :
Waiting on $1000 trade in for s23 ultra from an S22 ultra.
Yes, that's the only way it's worth it. $350 plus cashback is a reasonable price to upgrade.

Quote from Meridius :
don't get too excited for these samsuck phones. everytime I buy one, the battery swells up within 2 years.
I bought my S21 2 years ago and the battery charge suddenly drops extremely quick now. You'd think a smart phone should last longer than 2 years. I know for sure an iPhone's battery will last more than 2 years.

The only redeeming quality Samsuck had was very generous trade-in deals, very disappointed this years deals.
