Your consumer rights in United Arab Emirates

General UAE consumer protections

UAE consumer protection rules provide rights around faulty goods, unfair trade practices and certain return rights for online purchases.

For official guidance see the UAE government consumer protection page linked below.

How this applies to Laithwaites

• Laithwaites’ Quality Guarantee supplements statutory rights; it does not replace UAE legal protections for defective or misdescribed products.
• If you believe your statutory consumer rights in the UAE apply, you may pursue remedies through UAE consumer authorities or dispute resolution channels.

Customer experiences

Positive feedback

• Many customers praise the wide wine selection, perceived value, prompt deliveries and helpful wine advisors.
• Large review volumes (noted in other markets) report high satisfaction with product quality and personalised service.

Negative feedback

• Some reviewers have reported issues with recurring or unauthorized charges and difficulties cancelling memberships.
• Other complaints include receiving items not ordered and problems resolving billing disputes in certain markets.

Documentation checklist

Before contacting customer service

• Order confirmation number and date of delivery.
• Account email and contact phone number.
• Photos of any damaged or faulty bottles (bottle, label, box, delivery condition).

If requesting a refund or replacement

• Proof of payment (bank statement or payment confirmation).
• Written record of your cancellation or complaint (email, web form submission, or postal letter).
• Any additional evidence requested by customer services to process a Quality Guarantee claim.

Common mistakes

Timing errors

Missing the 14‑day cancellation window after receiving an order is a common issue; ensure you note delivery date and act promptly.

Evidence and handling errors

Opening or heavily handling bottles beyond ordinary inspection can reduce your refund. Failing to keep photos and order details makes claims harder to support.

Communication mistakes

Not obtaining written confirmation of cancellation or relying only on verbal assurances can cause disputes over whether cancellation was processed.
