Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to express my disappointment regarding a recent purchase I made from your online store. On [date], I ordered a box of chocolates, as advertised on your website, with the promise of delivery within two days. However, I had to wait longer than expected to receive the parcel.
When the parcel finally arrived, I was disheartened to find that the box of chocolates had several missing pages. This oversight significantly affected my enjoyment of the product, as I was unable to experience the full variety of flavors that were initially advertised.
As a customer, I trust that your company values customer satisfaction and upholds its commitment to delivering high-quality products. Therefore, I kindly request that you take immediate action to rectify this issue. I expect a replacement box of chocolates with all the pages intact to be delivered to my address as soon as possible. Alternatively, a refund for the faulty product would also be acceptable.
I hope that this matter can be resolved promptly and to my satisfaction. I have been a loyal customer of your brand and would like to continue supporting your business in the future. I look forward to your prompt response and a satisfactory resolution to this matter.
