Filing a Complaint
To file a complaint against a Trust-Verified member, you must comply with the following:
- You must have tried and exhausted every possible means of resolution with the supplier.
- Filing a complaint with Trust-Verified should be your last available option
- Any complaint must be reasonable, and be based on common internet protocols and customer service policies.
- Unreasonable demands or negative comments against a merchant are not a valid reason for complaint.
- Any complaint should be based on a real problem (eg not receiving the purchased items or service)
- Any complaint should be clearly written in English and must not be offensive
- After a complaint has been filed and accepted Trust-Verified will notify the merchant of the complaint and the merchant will be given the opportunity to settle the issue. If the situation is resolved, the complaint will be recorded as resolved. If the complaint is not resolved the complaint will remain on the Trust-Verified member’s record. Any resolution is purely at the discretion of the Trust-Verified member.
