Please ensure to include as much detail as possible and provide your contact details so that we can respond to you.
Step 2. How we will handle your complaint
- Your complaint will be handled by named customer service representatives. All details will be captured and recorded so that you do not need to repeat yourself. You may be asked to provide additional information such as a proof of purchase, photo's or any other details that we feel are relevant.
- We will aim to respond to your complaint immediately if contacted by telephone. If this is not possible we will agree a timeframe in which a resolution should be reached. Complaints received by email will be responded to within 72 business hours. More complex complaints may require additional time if an inspection of the product is required.
- You will be provided with a unique reference number for your complaint.
- Once the complaint has been closed, we will confirm any actions taken and the outcome in writing to you.
Step 3: If you are not satisfied with the outcome
At your request, the complaint can be escalated to the complaints team for review. You will be contacted by a member of the team within 72 business hours of the escalation, allowing time for the complaint to be fully reviewed.
