Dominos Pizza - withholding customer money


AnnaSimmonds

Recommended Posts

At the outset, I write this realising we are talking about takeaway pizza during a global pandemic....


But I wanted to warn other East Dulwich customers about the experience I have had with Dominos Pizza Dog Kennel Hill so that it might help inform you which pizza place to pick should you be in the market for a takeaway any time soon!


Dominos failed to deliver my order a month ago, they couldn?t explain why it never got to me, but agreed to send me a refund. I was told this would take 3-5 days and thought nothing more of it. The refund never got to me and since then it has gone from the ridiculous to the absurd. Every time I have chased it up since, I have been consistently lied to and fobbed off by the Store Manager. When I call, they laugh down the phone, give fake email addresses for the Area Manager/Directors etc. Told me they can?t give me customer services or area managers contact details for data protection reasons.


I have never experienced anything like it from a company. It was a ?30 order but the bewildering lack of integrity and customer service on display will hopefully make others think twice about where they choose to spend their money.

Dominic Paul was appointed CEO earlier this year. This is his LinkedIn page: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/dominic-paul


There should be a way to contact him directly through LinkedIn! Otherwise there are links to other managers via same page (down side).

Thank you! That?s really useful, I?ll try him on LinkedIn.


I did actually copy him in to my emails with the franchise but no reply...


I think I will try him on LinkedIn directly though as you suggest as I was just so shocked to be laughed at. It?s not about money so much as the ethics. I?m being laughed at about them not sending me a refund for a service they never delivered.


I obviously have better things to do with my time than chase up ?30 but hard to let a business get away with such contempt for their customers.

Also The Guardian Consumer Champions might be able to shame them into action if there's a potential complaint printed in the paper:


'We welcome letters but cannot answer individually. Email us at [email protected]. Please include a daytime phone number. Submission and publication of all letters is subject to our terms and conditions.'

Thank you so much for your reply and suggestion. I have been in contact with their central customer care but they seem to pass enquiries immediately over to the franchise to deal with rather than have a central department which isn?t very helpful if you then want to complain about the franchise itself. The customer service person for the franchise did initially reply to say they were sorry and would refund me immediately but then didn?t do it; and is now ignoring me...


All very odd.


I?ve never had an experience like it. Despite it costing ?30 to issue a small claim, I?m minded to do so just out of principle.

I posted a letter with ?70.00 in and paid for track & trace. It hasn't arrived and this is all I get:

You seem not to understand the meaning of "national debt".  Have you perhaps been relying on someone else's usage? I'm sorry to hear of Starmer's decimation.

    • in response to   On 19/11/2024 at 08:36, Moovart said: I know nothing about farming so can't really comment but when I read things like this interesting thread from Guy Shrubsole I am increasingly cynical about those making the loudest noise.  And yes it is a genuine link.   I've just had a look at the page source.  It contains a link to a Twitter page that's been automatically embedded in Moovart's post but seems not now operative. So I've dug out the url to have another try, this time without embedding:  https://x.com/guyshrubsole/status/1858490339356533018 .  Seems ok.   in reply to my own "Where did you get this from?" response to your post at https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/353788-is-rachel-reeves-becoming-the-new-liz-truss/?do=findComment&comment=1688310, in which you again spoke of the government's "doubling the national debt".

The above merging of my posts in response to Sue and to Jazzer have been done by the forum system, so there's no point in my trying again to separate them.  I've already tried editing out the merging and reposting the one to jazzer, but ended up with the same forced merge.  Apologies. Latest edit.  The moral seems to be: don't try making two consecutive posts or they'll be liable to merging.  I've now been able to post a freestanding reply to jazzer's post now that there's an intervening post.
