How to Find Samsung Dealers

Make sure you're getting a legitimate product from a legitimate dealer.

Samsung, which began as a small Korean export business more than 70 years ago, today finds itself among the leading manufacturers of modern electronics like smartphones, HDTVs, Blu-Ray players and appliances. One of the negative effects of this popularity, however, is that it has led to unauthorized dealers selling used and altered products, voiding the warranty. When shopping for a Samsung product, find an authorized dealer to ensure you're purchasing a legitimate item.

Instructions

1. Browse telephone listings selling electronics or appliances. Cross reference stores of interest with Samsung's "Authorized Dealers" list. Find the list at Samsung's website.

2. When shopping locally, look for the official "Authorized Samsung Dealer" sticker. If you don't see the sticker, ask a sales representative if they're an authorized dealer. Ask to see credentials confirming they are an authorized dealership. If not, consider shopping elsewhere.

3. Look for the blue "Authorized Samsung Dealer" logo when shopping for products online. To see what this logo looks like, visit Samsung.com/peaceofmind.

4. Ask your friends and family where they purchased their Samsung products, if they got a warranty, how well the product works and if they're aware of whether the dealer was authorized. If you get a good lead, shop at the place where they got their product.

5. Call 1-800-Samsung and ask them where to find dealers in your area.
