Your rights

What to include
- What you bought, when, and the store location.
- What went wrong (briefly) and when you noticed it.
- What you already tried (return attempt, discussion, email/chat).
- What you want (refund, exchange, correction, apology).
Evidence: receipt/proof of purchase, photos, and copies of correspondence.
If it is not resolved
If Primark does not resolve the issue within a reasonable time, consider escalating in writing and, where relevant, using payment-provider routes such as chargeback or Section 75 for eligible card purchases.
