Samsung Canada will exchange Galaxy Note 7s, bought from a third-party

Some people have taken to Reddit, social media and various forums to ask for advice and the usual answer seems to be to contact the seller. One person reports that they had to call Samsung, then Verizon, then a local retailer, who finally directed them to eBay, where the unit was purchased from. When said user contacted eBay, the representative told them to file a return claim. Unfortunately, the user didn't share the results of the claim.
It is still unclear if Samsung has adopted the same practice worldwide, or is it a Canada-only initiative, but we'll keep an eye out for more information on this.
