Write a Letter of Complaint to a Book Dealer for the Delay in the Delivery of Books
Letter writing nowadays is surviving in a very few sectors. In this era of the digital revolution, people do not usually write letters for regular communication.
Only for official purposes, letters are still being written. Due to this real-time importance, business letter writing is a significant part of almost all boards’ English writing comprehension syllabus. In today’s session, you will learn how to write letters of complaint to a book dealer for delays in the delivery of books. Hopefully, you will find this session important for your upcoming exam.

Dear Mr Kanti,
I am writing this letter to you in order to raise an issue with the delivery of some books I ordered from your store a few weeks ago.
I ordered 5 different books from your shop around three weeks ago. According to the deal, the books were to be delivered to my house within a week. But none of those books has been delivered even after three weeks passed after my order. I ordered those books on an immediate delivery basis. Even I have paid 50% of the total billing amount in advance, but still, I am getting no positive response regarding the delivery.
The books I ordered is very essential for my study. Moreover, my exam is quite nearby. So, I hope you have understood the significance of this issue. I would hereby like to request you to look into this matter immediately and initiate the delivery as soon as possible. I am also attaching a copy of the bill with the letter. The name and date of order of those books are mentioned there.
Yours Sincerely,
Nikhilesh Sanyal

Dear Mr Kaul,
Around a month ago, I submitted 10 of my old books at your service centre for hard binding. Today, I am writing this letter to you in order to let you know that I have not yet received any of those books.
I went through an advertisement on social media about your service and submitted some of my important books at your centre. While submitting, I was informed that the books will be delivered to my place within two weeks. But even after 4 weeks have already passed, I have still not received any of those books. Even I have tried calling your store, but nobody answered my call. The books I have given you for hard binding are very important to me.
I hope, you have understood the significance of the issue. So, I would like to request you to please look into this matter immediately and initiate the delivery of my books as soon as possible. I am attaching a copy of the invoice with this letter for your convenience.
Yours Sincerely,
Aslam Beg

Subject: Delay in delivery of books; seeking a refund
Sir,
In the last annual district book fair, I ordered a few storybooks from the stall of your publishing house. This letter I am writing to you to raise an issue regarding a delay in delivery of those books.
Around a month ago, I visited your stall at the book fair and ordered 7 storybooks. I have paid the entire amount in advance. While ordering, I was informed that the books will be delivered to my registered address within a week. But even a month has already been passed none of the books has been delivered. I am now worried about the advance payment I made while ordering. Moreover, due to this extreme delay in the delivery, I have purchased those books from somewhere else.
So, now this is my request to you to kindly cancel the order and initiate a refund for the advance payment I made. With this letter, I will be attaching a copy of the invoice and my refund account details for your convenience.
Yours Sincerely,
Anirban Banerjee
