Sub.: Complaint for damaged product received - request for replacement

Ref: Bill/Invoice no. ............. dated .............

Dear Sir/Madam,

I had ordered for some products from your company a few days back but I am shocked to have received the products today in damaged form. Unfortunately, after the products were delivered and when I opened the delivery package for checking the products inside, I found that all of them were in broken state.

Please note my order details as follows for your kind reference:

Date of order: ....................

Name of the person who ordered: ................
Bill/Invoice nos.: ............ and ..............

Items of products ordered: Item name - ..... (Qnty. ......) Item name - ..... (Qnty. ......)

Total Price : ...........

Date of delivery: ................

I have kept the goods in the same form as they were received. The same can be checked by your person while picking up the goods from my place for return.

You would appreciate that already 10 days have passed since I ordered for goods and still I have not been able to use the products as required at my end. Hence, I would request you to kindly attend to my complaint urgently and provide me with replaced goods at the earliest.

Kindly note that if I do not hear from you in the next 7 days regarding the replacement of goods, then I would be bound to proceed further to lodge a complaint against the company at appropriate consumer and legal forum.

Thanking you in expectation that my complaint will be resolved soon.

Sincerely,

   signature
