Complaint route

How a retail complaint should progress

Complain to the retailer first with the order details, fault or service issue and the specific remedy requested.

Retail complaint route

Complain to the retailer first

Give the order number, item, purchase date, problem, evidence and requested outcome.

Ask for a clear decision

If the reply is generic or delayed, ask the retailer to address the evidence and confirm its position.

Escalate if needed

If unresolved, consider payment-provider routes, any relevant ADR route or other consumer options depending on the issue.

For retail pages, the safe default is to avoid implying a single ombudsman route unless verified.
