Samsung Bangladesh is extending the warranty of those products expiring during the period of the ongoing lockdown in the country.
The warranty on all Samsung products will be extended for additional 14 days, starting from the date the lockdown ends, the company said in a press release.
"The country, along with the residents, is battling with the surge of Covid-19 cases,” said Hwansung Woo, managing director of Samsung Bangladesh.
“The second wave of coronavirus is causing havoc nationwide. People are already worried about numerous things in their lives, and we didn't want the warranty expiration to add up to the pile of problems,” Woo added.
The managing director hoped customers would benefit from the initiative and advised everyone to stay home and stay safe.
Bangladesh enforced a lockdown to decrease the surge of new Covid-19 infections and deaths nationwide.
Due to the movement restrictions during the lockdown, customers are unable to avail warranty services, Samsung said.
Thus, to ease the customers' problems and create more convenience for people, the company has again extended its warranty period.
The countdown for the 14 days warranty extension will start on the date the lockdown ends, reads a press release.
Last year, Samsung had extended its warranty period on all products during the general holiday.
