Complaint Letter Successes

i email companies all teh time asking for free stuff ans id say 90% are happy to oblige, just teh other day a fancy hair care company sent me a package with £300+ of stuff i guess it depends on how you word your emails!

for complaints i write or telephone, boots are very good with complaints and ive had a few gift cards or added points from various complaints. ive had cheques, giftcards, vouchers, free items etc. from complaints to other companies. i always complain abput poor service or dodgy products and i always get something in return.

Boots, complained about a rude member of staff: £5 voucher

Asda complained about 2 horrifically rude members of staff, one of which when my oh asked where the tinned fruits was, was told 'thats lazy why can't you buy the fruit and do it yourself?' and i asked for a packet of cigarettes for my mum, said they were wrong brand to be told 'well they will all kill you anyway won't they love? : Result? Letter from CS dept, terrible spelling, poor grammar, vague apology, basically told to sod off

I don't send complaint letters often, but when I do, I have always had results.

Phoned a baby milk company (can't remember which one) to complain that the coeliac warning on the back was impossibly small to read = £20 worth of vouchers off the milk.

Sent an email to McDonalds about very poor service and food = Vouchers for £15 worth of food.

A Fisher price toy I had purchased from Woolworths was faulty (it sounded so demonic it scared my child) Woolworths said it was a manufacturing fault. I emailed Fisher Price and was sent a replacement toy and another toy for the same value.

Boots facial wash which was meant to be hypoallergenic made my face go all red and blotchy. I emailed them, got a nice email and phonecall and a £10 giftcard.

Also not a letter of complaint but my mum runs a summer group for kids so I emailed Coca cola and they said I can go and collect 96 cans of coke:T

Always worth a try with a complaint letter or asking for things, the worst they can say is no!

dyson are really good at sending free things and parts out

my mum complained that her piping broke on her dyson after 2 years and the warranty was out! but they said it was no problem and sent her 2 pipes, yes two FREE!
