Complaint escalation guide

Is there an ombudsman for F.Hinds? Most high-street and online retailers are not covered by an ombudsman. If F.Hinds will not resolve a faulty-goods or refund complaint, your escalation route is a Section 75 claim or chargeback, then Trading Standards, then the small claims court.

How do you escalate a F.Hinds complaint? If you paid by credit card and the item cost over £100, make a Section 75 claim (or a chargeback on a debit card). Report the trader to Trading Standards through the Citizens Advice consumer helpline, and for unresolved amounts use the small claims court.

Tips for F.Hinds complaints

  • Diamond products carry a 2 year guarantee and everything else a minimum of 12 months, which F.Hinds publishes rather than keeping in-store
  • Repairs are guaranteed for 12 months on both parts and labour
  • Bespoke, personalised and specially ordered items are outside the 30 day change-of-mind window, but your statutory rights on a faulty one are unaffected
  • Returns by post are not prepaid unless the item was damaged or wrong, so keep proof of postage
  • Uncollected repairs can be disposed of six months after they notify you, so respond to collection letters
