Digital receipt, paper receipt, order email, card statement, or invoice.

Describe the problem
What is wrong, when it started, and how often it happens.

Only include safe steps you actually tried.
Clear, accurate notes usually work better than emotional claims.
Before contacting support
Order number, customer account, tracking number, and payment method.
Some warranties require product registration or proof of purchase.
Refund, replacement, repair, missing part, or explanation.
Ask who pays shipping, how to package, and whether tracking is needed.
After contact
Record ticket ID, representative name, date, and promised next step.
Tracking, photos of package condition, and drop-off receipt.
Do not rely on memory for deadlines.
Save emails, chats, and forms submitted.
How to use this checklist
Review the items before the task starts, not only at the last minute. Check off what applies, copy the unfinished items if you need a short action list, and save relevant receipts, photos, dates, and contact names in your own records.
Some items may not apply to your situation. Local rules, official guidance, product instructions, building policies, insurance requirements, and qualified professional advice should take priority where they apply.
