Rathwood tops CCPC complaints list for first half of year

Rathwood, the garden centre and outdoor furniture retailer, topped the list of most complained-about businesses during the first half of the year according to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC). The company received 737 complaints between January and June, far surpassing competitors like Ryanair, Sky, Currys, and Harvey Norman.

Rathwood faced public scrutiny over delays in order delivery and refund issues. Following its exit from examinership, the CCPC advised affected customers to take immediate action and request chargebacks. The CCPC received a total of 22,724 complaints in the first half of the year, with faulty goods, second-hand cars, and home improvements as the primary reasons.
