Describe the problem accurately
Defect, damage in transit, wrong item, misleading description and simple preference can trigger different processes.
Start with the seller process
Keep records of dates, photos where useful, and the resolution offered.
Check official consumer guidance
Government consumer agencies explain rights that apply in their jurisdictions.
Avoid overclaiming
State the facts and desired resolution rather than assuming a specific legal remedy before checking local rules.
