How to make a consumer complaint with a retailer

If you’ve had a dispute with a retailer or shop (online or in-store) and are looking to escalate the complaint for a swift resolution, then RetailADR is here to help you get your dispute resolved. You may have a problem or a dispute with the retailer’s goods/products you purchased or services which you have found to be unsatisfactory. If this is the case, and you have already complained to the retailer, you can use our consumer complaint form to get your complaint process started.

Before making a consumer complaint

Please note that to be eligible to make a complaint against a retailer, you must have already complained to that retailer directly in writing and either received a final written response (otherwise known as a ‘deadlock letter’) or given the retailer eight (8) weeks to respond to your dispute. RetailADR can only deal with unresolved complaints
