Classify the issue
Separate order or delivery questions, product information questions, damaged or opened goods, suspected counterfeit, adverse-reaction reports, complaints and evidence gaps. Different issues may need different owners.
Record the minimum useful information
Keep the order reference, product identity, batch or lot where available, customer message, date, condition and action taken in line with applicable privacy and business procedures. Do not collect unnecessary sensitive data.
Define who decides next
Name the person or organisation responsible for customer communication, product evidence, safety escalation, refund or returns policy and any supplier contact. Contracts and marketplace rules should be checked rather than assumed.
Escalate safety-critical matters
Adverse reactions, suspected contamination, counterfeit concerns or repeated serious complaints need a documented escalation path and appropriate professional advice. Specialist Supplements Ltd — trading since 1995 — supports approved Trade discussions within current scope. Reviewed 28 October 2026.
