The worst French company, the worst experience
Title: Shocking After-Sales Service – Feels Like a Scam
I am beyond disappointed with my experience at Boulanger after purchasing a Samsung QLED TV.
A short time after purchase, the polarising film on the screen started peeling off, which is clearly a manufacturing defect and not user damage. Despite this, I was told this issue is not covered under warranty, which is already unacceptable for a premium TV. The customer service is totally useless, rude at many times speak over you and telling you that’s your fault accusing you of all sort of things. We knew customer experience in france is appalling but not this bad, to be treated so badly by the customer service and being told to our face that we are liars with no accountability or responsibility on their end is totally un acceptable so we will be taking a class A legal against Boulanger.
What makes this even worse is that Boulanger then tried to charge me 140€ just for a technician visit, before even discussing any repair. Paying to have someone come and confirm an obvious defect on a nearly new TV is absurd and feels like a blatant attempt to shift responsibility onto the customer.
This is not what any consumer expects when buying a high-end product from a so-called reputable retailer. Warranty refusal + paid technician visit + zero accountability = terrible customer experience.
I will be escalating this matter further and will strongly advise others to think twice before buying expensive electronics from Boulanger if this is how defects are handled.
By far one of the worst after-sales experiences I’ve ever had. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM THEY WILL SCAM YOU. Look at how bad their score is.
Order number is F905HB49370 and tv is TV SAMSUNG TQ65Q60D 2024.
