Customer complaint

Here, a customer complaint expresses dissatisfaction requiring a response or remedy, for example about a product, delivery or service. This working definition follows the UK public ombudsman’s description of dissatisfaction that requires a response.[2] A request for information without dissatisfaction is different. For Dutch consumer online sales, sellers must explain their complaint-handling arrangements.[1]

Record the problem and requested outcome without immediately assuming the applicable remedy. Choosing the wrong size differs from receiving the wrong item. Link the case to its order and assign the next action so a quick acknowledgement is not mistaken for a substantive resolution.
