How to raise a formal complaint

Most concerns about an order are resolved quickly through the contact page — that is always the fastest route. When a concern has already been raised and the response was not satisfactory, or when a formal record is needed, this procedure sets out the steps to follow, the expected timelines, and what happens at each stage.
1

Check whether to report an omission first

Before filing a complaint, consider whether the issue is a missing or incorrect item that falls within the 30-day defect window. Omissions of that kind are handled directly and quickly through the contact form without needing a formal complaint. A complaint is the right route when a previous response was unsatisfactory or when a formal written record is required.
2

Submit the complaint in writing

Send a written complaint by email to the address listed on the contact page. Include the order reference number, the date of delivery, a clear description of the issue, and a summary of any previous communication about the matter. Attaching photographs or screenshots makes the complaint easier to assess and speeds up the initial review.

  • Order reference number and delivery date must be included in the complaint email
  • Summarise any previous contact and the response received before this formal step
  • Attach relevant photographs, screenshots, or measurements to support the complaint
3

Acknowledgement and review period

Every written complaint receives a confirmation of receipt within three business days. A full review of the complaint is then carried out, which involves re-examining the order record, the original product description, and any supporting evidence provided. A substantive response is sent within fourteen business days of the acknowledgement.

Possible outcomes

After the review, one of the following outcomes is communicated in writing: the complaint is upheld and a remedy is offered, the complaint is partially upheld with a partial remedy, or the complaint is not upheld with a written explanation of the reasoning. All outcomes are documented and kept on record. The response includes a clear explanation of the decision reached.

  • Complaint upheld: a remedy such as a replacement piece or credit is offered in writing
  • Complaint not upheld: a written explanation of the reasoning is provided in full
