Dispute resolution process
Wholesalers - have their own processes which we have to follow in order to make any claims or query any purchases. This may include creating a credit claim that is sent to the customer service teams, which is done in store. Other suppliers - we have a team in purchase ledger staff who use a designated email address.They contact the person who placed the order for authorisation of all invoices. If this is in query, the person who placed the order would contact, by email, the company the invoice belonged to and the person they placed the order with.
