Complaints Policy

Express Gadgets Limited

Last Updated: June 2026

Our Commitment to You

At Express Gadgets Limited, we take every complaint seriously. We understand that things do not always go as planned, and when they do not, we want to make it right as quickly and fairly as possible.

Our goal is to resolve every complaint at the first point of contact. If we cannot do that immediately, we will keep you informed throughout the process and ensure you receive a clear, honest response.

All complaints are assessed against our published policies and applicable UK consumer law. We encourage all customers to read our relevant policies before raising a complaint, as this helps ensure the best possible outcome and avoids unnecessary delays.

1. Please Read Our Policies Before Raising a Complaint

Before raising a complaint, we strongly encourage you to read our relevant policies, which are available on our website at expressgadgetsltd.co.uk. Many concerns can be resolved quickly by referring to the applicable policy, and understanding our terms will help ensure your complaint is assessed as efficiently as possible.

Complaints that are investigated and found to fall outside the scope of our policies and your statutory rights under UK consumer law will not be upheld. In all such cases, we will inform you clearly in writing and explain the reasons for our decision. This does not affect any statutory rights you may have under applicable UK law.

2. How to Raise a Complaint

If you are not satisfied with any aspect of your experience with Express Gadgets Limited — whether relating to a product, an order, a return, a refund, a warranty claim, or our customer service — please contact us directly. This is always the fastest and most effective way to resolve any issue.

Email is our primary and fastest response channel. We aim to respond to all complaints as promptly as possible during business hours.

3. What to Include in Your Complaint

To help us resolve your complaint as quickly as possible, please include the following information when you contact us:

  • Your full name
  • Your order number
  • Your contact details — phone number and email address
  • The name and model of the product your complaint relates to
  • A clear description of your complaint and what happened
  • What outcome you are looking for
  • Any supporting evidence — photographs, videos, or screenshots where relevant

The more detail you provide, the faster we can investigate and respond. Incomplete information may result in delays while we gather the facts.

4. How We Handle Your Complaint

4.1 Acknowledgement

We will acknowledge receipt of your complaint promptly via WhatsApp, SMS, or email — whichever method you used to contact us. Our aim is to acknowledge all complaints on the same day or within one working day of receipt.

4.2 Investigation

Once we have acknowledged your complaint, our team will investigate the matter fully. This may involve reviewing your order details, inspecting photographs or evidence you have provided, consulting with our technical team, or liaising with our courier partners where relevant.

We aim to provide a full response to all complaints within 5 working days of receipt. Where a complaint requires more time to investigate — for example, if a device needs to be returned and inspected — we will keep you informed of progress and provide an estimated timeframe.

All complaints are assessed against our published policies and applicable UK consumer law. We assess each complaint fairly and on its individual merits.

4.3 Resolution

We will communicate our findings and proposed resolution to you via WhatsApp, SMS, or email.

Where our investigation finds that your complaint is upheld — for example, where we have made an error or where the issue falls within the scope of our policies or your statutory rights — we will take appropriate action promptly. This may include a refund, replacement, repair, or another suitable remedy in accordance with our Returns, Refunds & Cancellation Policy.

Where our investigation finds that the reported issue does not fall within the scope of our policies or your statutory rights under UK consumer law, we will inform you clearly in writing and explain our reasons. We will always be transparent about the basis for our decision. This does not affect any statutory rights you may have under applicable UK law.

4.4 Formal Complaints

If your complaint is not resolved to your satisfaction through our standard customer service process, you may escalate it as a formal complaint by contacting us in writing and marking your message clearly as 'Formal Complaint':

  • Email: support@expressgadgetsltd.co.uk — subject line: Formal Complaint
  • Post: Express Gadgets Limited, 665 Dewsbury Road, Leeds, England, LS11 5LF — marked: Formal Complaint
