What is a Complaint?
A complaint is an expression of dissatisfaction made to us about our products or services, interactions with our staff, or the way we have handled a complaint. For your expression of dissatisfaction to be considered a complaint, you must tell us (my filling out a form below), or imply in your communication with us, that you would like a response. If we’re not sure if you’re making a complaint, we’ll check with you.
If you're dissatisfied with an aspect of our service, we encourage you to make a complaint. It can be about anything that you believe has not met your expectations or standards – from service issues to product defects and interactions with our team.
Complaints can:
