    I am still surprised they are able to get away with not having a way to complain formally. 
    Why? There's no general obligation on businesses to have any sort of "complaints" process, whether formal or not. If you want to enforce rights against them, ultimately you take them to court.

    Not much to do then. Thanks anyway.

    As they are Registered number: 4660974. Authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Then they do have to log complaints if you took out finance. 

    No doubt like many other companies many staff are not working over the holiday period either due to sickness (self isolation) or holidays.

    But end of the day if it was not delivered 23 Dec, then there was only 1 day before Christmas to deliver. Thankfully you still had the old fridge to use.

    They do have a complaints process- it is just that we have not been able to access it due to being 'blocked' from going further or being told we had to wait for contact on their side which was promised on several occasions but did not occur.

    Please do not offer incorrect advice.

    Agreed- especially with larger items. Very contacted us today and said our complaint has supported another investigation into missing items through ArrowXL.
