Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing
this
 letter to complain about the Apple phone case I bought from your company
website
 on 15th November.
Firstly
, I received my
product
 after 20 days
however
, your
website
 claims that the
product
 is delivered within 10 days.
Moreover
, what made me sad was the phone cover colour was totally different than what I had ordered and the corners of the case were
also
 damaged. Henceforth, I request a refund from you because of two reasons that are late
product
 delivery and wrong
as well as
 damaged
product
 received. I have read all the terms and conditions on your
website
. I know I have to send the
product
 back to the store so I have generated the return tag from your
website
 and have packed the
product
. I will send the
product
 from UPS which usually takes 3-4 days. I would appreciate your help. Thank you for your consideration. Yours Sincerely, Shweta
