Samsung "support" messages: a trail of incompetence.

Samsung Chromebook Pro: see the two previous posts about attempts to return this. Samsung internal systems are so messed up that Samsung is incapable of sending a return shipping label. I just logged into my Samsung account and ...

Hi, KENNETH

Looks like we don't have your address on file
Samsung just sent its product to me a few days ago. How could it have lost my home address?

Let's take trip down Samsung lane:

I'd like to return. When I finally figured out how to get around your router connection anomaly and started using, I found that the criticisms of your keyboard were not severe enough. Your keyboard really sucks.

Totally fruitless and aggravating phone conversation with the sales group that the next email wants me to talk to again. The sales person insisted that they had sent the return shipping label. I checked everywhere, including SPAM. No email from Samsung with any attachment.

Samsung could not confirm that the message had been sent or by which organization. I was told the matter was being referred to ... some organizational black hole. I tried calling again last night but Samsung was closed. I'll try again after posting this.

Dear Kenneth Matinale, 

Thank you for writing back to us. I do understand your concern. 

If only I had the option to work on this, I would have surely assisted you; however, the support channel that you have contacted is dedicated to handle technical and service related issues with Samsung devices and do not have access to the information on Sales and return labels.
