Default Samsung Repair Review

Hey all I figured I'd post a little review on the service I've had through Samsung on getting my phone repaired and keep you updated along with ask any questions if anyone had any.

Reason for Repair - Phone had developed lots of wiggle on the screen and my keyboard was getting scratched and scuffed when I slid open the phone.

Heres a time log -

12.20.10 - Requested Service over the phone cause online tried to charge me $70 for repair. Service rep was happy to help me file a service request along with give me 2ND Day Air, shipping where as online it was like $15 and ground was free. So I printed out the labeled, stripped my phone ( battery, battery cover, microsd ) packaged it up and sent it off next day.

12.23.10 - UPS tracking says it was received but no updates from Samsung.

12.24.10 - 12.27.10 - No info from Samsung.

12.28.10 - Samsung marked as received and gave me a link to track my repair progress ( Didn't work ) Called Samsung and rep told me that the technician had received my phone and was diagnosing it.

12.29.10 - Visited the website and around 5:00pm tonight, Tech updated the repair notes on the website - "REPLACED LCD, FLEX, TOUCH KEY PBA, LOWER, KEY PAD AND FRONT"

So so far I'm beyond happy and am just eager to get my phone back!

UPDATE :

12.30.10 - Received an email saying the item was shipped today again 2ND Day Air, So I'm hoping I get it tomorrow night, their located in Texas and I'm in California, so I'm crossing my fingers!

Sincerely,

I wish I worked at a place that took apart phones and replaced parts. Where do you apply for jobs like this?

From what I understand about 90% of cell repairs are done by touchstone wireless. I looked into their east tennessee plant and based off what I read that particular location us not the best place as far as atmosphere goes. If you google them you can see if they have jobs close by.hope that helps.
