Understanding a Grievance
A grievance means any complaint, concern, problem, or indication of dissatisfaction relating to a book, order, service, transaction, or experience associated with our platform, where the customer seeks clarification, support, or corrective action. Such concerns may include, but are not limited to, issues involving the condition or quality of a book delivered, receipt of incorrect titles or quantities, delivery delays or unsuccessful deliveries, payment-related issues, difficulties involving cancellations, returns, refunds, or replacements, dissatisfaction with customer support, or questions concerning our website policies and procedures.
Procedure for Submitting a Grievance
If you experience a concern while browsing, placing an order, receiving a book, or using our book-related services, we recommend informing us through the customer support channels provided on our platform. Supplying complete and correct information enables us to understand the circumstances more clearly and assist you toward an appropriate resolution. The suggested procedure is outlined below:
Access the Help Centre or Contact Us Section
Go to the “Help Centre” or “Contact Us” section available through our website or mobile application. These channels are intended for customers seeking assistance concerning books, orders, payments, deliveries, or other matters associated with the platform.

Choose the category, option, or subject that best corresponds to the matter you are facing. Selecting the most relevant category helps ensure that your grievance reaches the appropriate support team for examination.
Provide the Necessary Details
Submit your grievance with the information required to help us understand and assess the matter. Where relevant, provide your order ID, book title, description of the concern, transaction information, and any supporting photographs, documents, screenshots, or other materials that may assist with the review.
Following submission, our customer support team will examine the information received, consider the circumstances involved, and provide suitable guidance, clarification, or resolution depending on the nature of the grievance.
