What Is a Complaint?
A complaint is any expression of dissatisfaction — whether justified or not — about our products, services, or staff.
Many issues can be resolved immediately by speaking with a member of our team or a manager. If your concern requires further investigation, it will be handled under our formal complaints process.

You will always be treated fairly, respectfully, and with courtesy.

We’ll keep you updated and let you know when you can expect a full response.
