Retail e-commerce Policy

The purpose of this policy is to outline the following procedures for our store hosted on www.demelza.org.uk: complaints & compliments procedure, returns process and our timelines for service delivery.

Complaints & Compliments

At Demelza Charity Shops and online shops, we strive to make your experience the best it can be. However, we do recognise that sometimes things can go wrong. Our complaints and compliments procedure outlines our commitment and what you can expect from us.

The complaints handling procedure aims to be:

• Easy to use and customer-focused
• Ensure efficient handling of a complaint and provide a full response within the timelines outlined
• Full and fair investigations undertaken where appropriate
• Provide information to the charity so that improvements can be made.

We take your concerns and feedback very seriously and learn from them to continually enhance our service, we appreciate you taking the time to help us improve what we do.

When you have cause for complaint or a problem arises, we want to know at the earliest opportunity.  Please make us aware by contacting us by email  ecommerce@demelza.org.uk
