The Resolver guide to Christmas shopping

Why smarter complaining can mean smarter shopping

Christmas is approaching fast. As shoppers, it’s not a season that we look forward to with any great joy – crowds, high prices and endless presents to buy. It’s a stressful time of year.

That’s why at Resolver, the UK’s leading online assisted complaints service, we’ve put together a survival guide to help you get through Christmas with as little pain as possible.

We list our top tips for hassle-free shopping, and how to get redress if things don’t go as planned. We also investigate the best and worst returns policies if you need to take back an unwanted gift. We’ve even asked the British public about their festive shopping pet hates and Christmas gift horror stories.
