This whole process has been smoke blowing you know where.... Whoever thought of treating their most loyal customers this way should be fired! I have had multiple (for family members TOO) Note 2, Note 3, Note 4, Note 5, and now note7. They should refund us to collect the phones. Then give us a temp s7 edge that we can exchange for the note 8 for no more than half price or something along those lines. THIS IS THE ONLY REASONABLE SOLUTION!!!! Even then we have to wait for our Ferrari for unknown time to get "out of the repair shop" so that aspect might be worth the $100 customer service credit but i lean to "not enough samsung" on that one too.

The google pixel is looking better and better. If google was smart they would make their version of the note 7 asap and release it because they will get all of samsungs currently pissed off customers.

Anyone get there check yet? I sent in Quite a few Note 7 the same way in a box they sent me to ship to Texas, which is where I reside as well. I have received no check yet for any of them. It has been over 2 weeks on the first 5 I sent to them for a refund in the form of a check. I just wanted to see if anyone has got paid back yet. Please keep everyone updated if you do get your check so the rest of us have high hopes. Lol

No check yet, but a lot of us did receive an email stating that the check is coming via UPS but yet I have no tracking number and STILL no check... They need to quit bull****tin!

I wonder why they would not send a tracking number if it's coming UPS? I'm am very disappointed in the way they are handling these returns. It seems very unorganized.
I was just told today that they are not coming UPS and instead they are coming via the post office ( snail mail ). I was told several times before this that the checks would be sent out via UPS overnight, but apparently that was a lie too... Agent told me that if I did not receive the check by next week Tuesday that I should call back in and they would re-process the check, whatever that means?

Same old story

It's been about 22 business days since they have received my phone and I've called multiple times. If I don't get it by X date call back so I have, this time it was on a Sunday and I spoke to someone claiming he was 2 stories above the refund team but would solve all my problems by emailing the manager of that floor which should contact me back within 72hrs. It's now five days later no call, no check, and no reason to call them again since you never can get a real answer for where's my check? I'm done calling them hopefully a fellow xda member will post when they receive their's. If a class action lawsuit over this refund check situation I will definitely be signing up. Stuck using my son's BLU phone for the past month.

I just don't understand how they can send a check for about a thousand dollars right through the mail and NOT have some type of tracking number!!?? It's CRAZY to me.... On top of that, they had NO record of the tracking number for the Note 7 that I sent to Stericycle, so therefore they could not give me any info on that either. This has got to be the WORST customer service I have dealt with in quite some time! I will post my check as soon as it comes so that others know I received it. Take care and good luck...

Thanks bro, I'm wondering if Stericycle was the right choice for this. The lack of information between them and Samsung is ridiculous. I also had to provide my tracking number to Sammy and they put it in my notes. You would think it would be as simple as open, check imei, forward approved list to Sammy and put check in the mail. Even if my check was late but I had the ability to check the status of my return on a simple website, I wouldn't be as aggravated over it. The lack of answers after I send off a $900 phone in good faith has swayed me from buying anther product from them.

Maybe Stericycle is just overwhelmed by the amount of N7s coming in that it's taking them a week to even open the box once they receive it. But come on Samsung make a statement and tell your customers whats really going on.

Maybe there waiting for just before black Fri so they can sell us on some explosive deals. I want a free gear s3 and a check now for playing with my emotions
LMAO !! You know I am so pissed that I decided to call in AGAIN just now. So now I am told by a supervisor that the checks are indeed being sent via UPS and NOT USPS like I was told on my last call (yesterday). And I have a service called "UPS My Choice" , which is a service that immediately notifies me if anyone has addressed a package to me and when that specific package is scheduled to be delivered. Guess what? There are NO packages scheduled to be delivered to me, so that means that the check has not even been sent out of their building yet. So the email that everyone received on Tuesday letting them know that the checks are on their way and will take 2-3 business days to arrive, was BULL****!! Just one more lie to the MANY lies they have already told us... I hate Samsung SOOOOOO much right now! :mad::mad::mad:
