Bridal Shop Complaints

Before you file your complaint with us

Please note that to be eligible to make a complaint against a bridal shop, you must have already complained to that bridal shop directly in writing and either:

  • Received a Final Written Response (otherwise known as a ‘Deadlock Letter’)
  • Given the bridal shop 8 weeks to respond to your dispute

… You can only submit your complaint to us once at least 1 of these conditions is fulfilled.

RetailADR can only deal with unresolved complaints.

Our Powers

We can:

  • Direct the bridal shop to take, or desist from taking, certain steps – such as providing a refund or exchange or issuing a formal apology.
  • Direct the bridal shop to pay you a financial award by way of compensation (up to £25,000) for proven financial loss – where appropriate and applicable.

If the bridal shop is a member of RetailADR, they will be contractually obligated to implement our decision. However, if the bridal shop is not a member, it will be within their discretion. In most circumstances, we would expect non-member retailers to reconsider their position.

If a trader has refused, ignored, or otherwise left you unsatisfied after you made a complaint to them, you can escalate matters for FREE with RetailADR.
