Samsonite Refuses to Refund My Bag With Defective Zipper After Just Two Uses

Samsonite Refuses to Refund My Bag With Defective Zipper After Just Two Uses

The bag I purchased from Samsonite for ₺7,500 is having zipper issues, and it’s of lower quality than even a market bag. I contacted the store, and it’s only been a week since I bought the product. On the second use, I noticed the zipper issue. They told me, "We can’t exchange or refund a used product, but we can repair it." They also said I would have to wait 30 business days for the repair. This means you are not standing behind your product. I will file a complaint with the Consumer Arbitration Board and will pursue my rights to the fullest. This poor quality needs to end immediately, and I am requesting a refund for the product. I do not deserve to use a bag that needs repairs. The zipper stitching is clearly defective, and I shouldn’t have to use a poor-quality product by having it repaired.

Are you valuing me by saying that a 2-day-old bag can be repaired? I am telling you that I just bought it and it's not user error; the fault is clearly visible in the videos and pictures. Do you accept returns when the fault is on your side? You still say repair. Those who want to buy a defective, low-quality product, go ahead... It's a shame.

"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..."
