Samsonite Backpack Stitching Issue – No Response for a Month

I purchased a Samsonite backpack from Ankara Kentpark on October 5, 2024. Within just 15 days, the stitching near the top handle started coming apart. On October 26, 2024, I returned it to the store for inspection and possible replacement. Since then, I have been met with nothing but delays and silence.

When I contacted both the store and customer service, I was told that Samsonite has only one repair center in Turkey, and due to "high demand," the process is slow. I was also reminded multiple times that the legal timeframe is 30 business days. However, today is November 26, and I have received no updates, no calls, no emails—nothing.

I even spoke with E* from the Kentpark store on November 22, who assured me she would personally follow up. Yet, there is still no progress.

The fact that such a well-known brand takes over a month to handle a simple repair or exchange is unacceptable. Are they overwhelmed with defective products, or are they conducting scientific research on the issue?

I demand an immediate response and a resolution. This level of customer service is completely unprofessional and does not reflect the quality Samsonite claims to uphold.

"I filed a complaint against the retailer and, consequently, against Samsonite, and I think I applied to the Consumer Court about a month ago. Today, the retailer Trunk&Co at Panora Mall called me and said exactly, "The headquarters accepted your return, but we have another color of the same model of your bag; we can give you that, but you must pay the price difference, or we can refund you the invoice amount (half of the current sale price)." Of course, they got the required response from me. I told them they need to inform me in writing and that I have also filed a complaint with the Consumer Court. My dear, how painful it is that companies like this can still operate this way in my country..."
