When your complaint gets stuck

The shop is not replying.
What can you do next?

You have already complained about faulty goods. Find your last message and prepare a short follow-up.

Start here

Ask for an update on the complaint you already sent. Refer to its date and ask about the next step. You do not need to start the whole explanation again.

Three things before you write again

  1. Find your last message. Check its date, recipient and any reference. If you only called, briefly describe what that contact concerned.
  2. Read any automatic reply. Did the shop give an expected response time or ask for specific information?
  3. Ask a clear question. Request an update and an expected reply date. Keep the follow-up with your first complaint.

Refunded assembles your details into a free Danish draft. You check the text, attach your evidence and send it yourself.

A follow-up does not decide the dispute

Silence does not automatically entitle you to a refund. Your options depend on the fault and the circumstances. The free letter suggests requesting a reply within seven days. You can change that request; it is not a statutory reply deadline.

If the shop remains passive, you can investigate an appropriate complaint body. Eligibility and fees depend on that body's conditions.
