In that case, you should approach the Consumer Protection Department. In Qatar, consumers have rights and the government have laws in place to make sure consumer rights are protected.

had experience... this is only a front.. not very helpful at all
Please anybody can tell me, Can I complain about house rental issues too?
Completely useless organization! They will not do anything to assist you the consumer.They will pretend to though, but after a while you will come to know that they are there to protect businesses (Especially fully Qatari-owned businesses) and consumers. Save yourself time, energy, money, aggravation, and irritation,and buy your stuff elsewhere or online. It may cost more but in the end , it will last longer and give you more peace of mind......
good info

I always strongly believed that in gulf nations consumer protection rules are far far better
With respect to Consumer protection department , my experience too is not satisfactory with the authority. Upali
I have approached thrice to consumer court, not even once they have helped me or supported me. They are always in favor of the Companies. My vehicle was completely scratched infront of my eyes but still nothing happened. Still my car windshield mirrors are scratched. This information is of no use. They wont help.
what about if you want to complain QL seller will that count will they help still?
Name, address, job title....Oh I think they forgot one important detail - Nationality!
Wonder why the Job Title is important to the complaint ?
But no use, all the complaints will be in favour of the seller
Great
