A1. Why should I complain?
Complaints can let merchants know what their problems are, and enable them to make progress and improvements. When merchants have improved, everyone benefits.
A2. Why should I file a complaint on ComplainHero?
There are basically three reasons.The first is convenience. Users only need to remember www.complainhero.com and do not need to look for the merchant’s contact email or phone number every time. And no more being put on hold or repeating the problem to different people. The second reason is to avoid embarrassment. ComplainHero will not list your complaints, so you don't have the same problem you do with social platforms where people can see who and what. The third is effectiveness. Many of our users found that the merchant has improved after complaining via ComplainHero!
