Complaints policy
If you ever feel less than satisfied by our products, customer service, or pricing, we want you to tell us.
When managing customer complaints or dissatisfactions, we aim to create a quick, fair and consistent process that’s sensitive to the individual needs and circumstances of our customers. We use complaint information to not only put things right, but also to understand root causes, and identify errors or failures.
A complaint is an expression of dissatisfaction made to or about an organization, related to its products, services, staff or the handling of a complaint, where a response or resolution is explicitly or implicitly expected or legally required.
