Hi All! I ordered a new Galaxy S21 but unfortunately before using it I had to send it back. I got the shipping label from Samsung to ship the box back using FedEx.
I placed the phone and the "free" accessories in the same box that it was delivered to me. On Friday February 19, 2021, I received an email saying they received the package and that it was under review. Today Wednesday February 24, 2021 I received an email saying that the refund status is Unsent and that they are preparing to send my product back...
I'm suspicious that something is going on with Samsung receiving and that they lost the phone I sent back. I already contacted Samsung and they were supposed to escalate the issue, they gave me a ticket number and told me that an email with updates was going to be sent to me.
Has someone experienced something like this? What that Unsent status even means?
I pre-ordered a S21+. The phone would not make/receive phone calls, might/might not get voice messages and might/might not get text messages. After 3 days of going to Sprint T-Mob brick & mortar store, on the phone with both Sprint T-Mob tech & Samsung tech, on line chat with Sprint T-Mob tech & Samsung tech and on line chat with Samsung customer service ... I was told a replacement was not allowed and I needed to send back the phone and promotional items, get a refund & reorder. Samsung received my return on FEBRUARY 2 as evident by FedEx Tracking & email receipt from Samsung. so far 4 chats with Customer Service..."Be patient", "Please wait 2 business days". Note that you have to ask for a copy of your chat to send to your email to get a Chat ID record (I didn't know, so until the last 3 chats I have no record.). Yesterday's chat customer service representative did NOT send me a chat record. Could it be because he said I would receive a definitive answer that my refund of $800+ was being processed? Samsung web site says 5-10 days after receipt of product (that would be 02/12). Customer Service chat of 02/22 said 3 days (that would be 02/25)... week earlier Customer Service chat that I stupidly trusted without record said 3 days. Yesterday's chat where the representative Did Not send me record (although I requested) said last night I would get an answer. This morning? No answer.
All the excitement i had for getting a launch phone with promotional items quickly faded when the phone would not work, after 3 days and final defeat, I sent the phone back. Now 25 days and counting to get my money back. Thank goodness I didn't reorder (at a higher price & less promotions) and expect a refund and a reorder price adjustment. Don't have money to throw around.
Hope you have better luck. if anyone has any hints on getting a refund, please let me know. Have been a long time Samsung electronics, cell phones and appliance fan. . but maybe not anymore....

I am experiencing the same issue. Samsung has received my refund as evidenced by the FedEx tracking for the return label, but I am getting the same message saying there is an issue my return and that it is "unsent". I have also received an email that I am getting charged back for my trade.
I am also experiencing the same issue on returning the Samsung S21, i got confirmation that they receive my package but again after 7 days they sent an email saying my return is unsuccessful with the below message
"Unfortunately, we cannot grant you a refund for *********** because there was an issue with your returned item. Please review the reason:
Unsent.
We are preparing to send your product back to you. Please watch for an email from Samsung with a tracking order for the return shipment."
Can someone please let me know what it means and what further actions to be taken
