customer complaint

Dissatisfied purchaser's feedback

A customer complaint is a formal expression of dissatisfaction with a product, service, or experience, directed at the business responsible.

Companies track customer complaints to identify problems and improve operations.

The term appears frequently in business and customer service contexts: We received three customer complaints about the new checkout process.

Filing a complaint is more formal than simply grumbling—it implies an expectation of response or resolution.
