Yesterday I wrote about being disappointment about finding very little ice cream in my Ben and Jerry's ice cream tub despite it being a brand new tub. The tub contained mostly chocolate peanut butter cups and very little actual ice cream. I sent a complaint via their website and awaiting a reply. I wonder what they will say about it and give me any vouchers to apologize? What do you think?

I would've taken a picture so you could show them as some places like to go by that when they receive a complaint. But either way I hope they get back to you on it.

The thing is the tub is nearly finished so it would not be worth sending in a pic now :(

@kevin1877uk I paid 3.45 for it so I had to finish it. Yep it was still nice, just not as good as I would expect from the brand. Especially if I am paying that much for a tub of ice cream lol

@TiarasOceanView I agree, I think Ben & Jerry's charge too much for ice cream lol

That is what I thought. I paid quite a lot for it, so was not that happy about the lack of ice cream.

That is kind of weird, I would have thought it would be the other way around.

I rarely buy ice cream although I did buy some of those Magnums that were on offer a couple of months ago! Good luck I am sure they will respond to your complaint!

@gudheart That's great. There's nothing more annoying as a food producer than an untraceable complaint.

I think they should send you a voucher for a free one but I love chocolate reanut butter cups so I would eat them anyway.

I love them too, but got sickly due to way too many of them and the lack of any ice cream.

@gudheart (4108), they should re-imburse you or send you a replacement coupon. And an apology. I hope they do. I don't buy Ben and Jerry. We have a great company here that makes great ice cream, Mayfields,and I usually stick with them. Good luck, hope you get something ..

That's a bummer! Perhaps if you write on their Facebook feed, Ben & Jerry's will respond to you quicker if you haven't received a response yet. I had an issue with a bank ATM and I contacted my bank via Facebook with my problem - I received a much quicker turnaround response compared to emailing. Good luck + Keep us updated on their response!

I'm sure you will hear from them and hopefully they will rectify your unhappiness with their product.

Most complaints I've submitted have led to vouchers. Glad you did it.

I am sure that if they are like most companies, you will not only get a refund, but coupons, too. I once complained about some frozen fish I bought and they sent me 4 coupons for free products.

Companies will usually send you a coupon to get a free product to replace the one you were not satisfied with.
