La Saga del Sillón y la PROFECO Parte I ...

Spanish and Go
About this episode

What would you do if you paid for a sofa but only half of it showed up, and the company refused to fix it? In this episode, we tell the full story of our months-long battle with Sam’s Club, from endless customer service runarounds to finally getting justice through PROFECO’s online complaint system. This episode will give you a clear picture of how to protect yourself as a consumer and make sure big companies don’t take advantage of you, whether you live in Mexico or plan to shop here.

Key Takeaways:

  • How to file a consumer complaint in Mexico through PROFECO’s ConciliaNet platform.
  • What your rights are when companies fail to deliver a product or service.
  • Why persistence (and knowing the law) can make all the difference when dealing with customer service issues.
