To the Customer Relations Team at Elgiganten,
I am writing to formally express my extreme disappointment regarding a recent purchase and the subsequent treatment I received at your Field’s location.
On Saturday, I received a TCL Soundbar purchased last week. Upon opening the package, it was immediately clear that the item had been severely damaged due to inadequate packaging (please see the attached photos). More distressingly, while handling the unit, I sustained a cut to my finger from broken glass on the unit.
The resolution process at your Field’s store only added to my frustration:
Lack of Professionalism: When I informed the customer service representative about my injury, she reacted by giggling rather than offering assistance or an apology.
Systemic Delays: I was initially told the return could not be processed because the item was still marked as "out for delivery" in your system.
Lack of Accountability: It took an additional 10 minutes of my insistence to escalate and resolve the matter. Throughout this entire interaction, not a single apology was offered for the damaged product, the injury, or the inconvenience of traveling with a heavy unit via public transport.
As a loyal customer who has bought many items at Elgiganten, including the purchase of a TCL TV and various white goods. I find this level of service unacceptable.
A damaged product is a mistake; a dismissive attitude toward a customer's physical injury is a significant failure in your duty of care.
I look forward to hearing how you intend to rectify this situation and improve your handling of safety-related complaints.
Sincerely.

Hello Nick,
Thanks for taking time out of your day to give us a review on Trustpilot and thank you for a comfortable conversation.
As the first thing, I want to apologize for all of the inconvenience with your product, and for the handling from us. We of course want to help our customer's the best way possible, so it's distasteful we haven't handled your case well.
But I'm happy that after our phone call, that we could compensate the matter with a gift card.
We take your feedback seriously, and it has been forwarded to the correct department, so we can prevent situations like that in the future.
I appreciate, that you shared your experience with us.
Have a nice day!
Best regards
Tilla
