Once a world class zoo, and a place where animals were protected and bred – Surabaya Zoo may be the only refuge for animals on the brink of extinction. Unfortunately, Surabaya Zoo is not able to protect or care for the animals in its charge.
Surabaya Zoo is now a sadly desperate place where animals live in an unclean,crowded and malnourished state. Sumatran Tigers, Orangutans, Elephants, Komodo Dragons, Leopards and Crocodiles are suffering daily.
As individuals, and through a collective effort please show that you care.

For the manager of Informa Supermal
Six months ago we purchased a sofa from your store. We were very happy with the style and the colour. We brought it home and for six months it has been a welcome addition to our living room. It is the centerpiece of activities, conversations and family moments.
We have made a few purchases from your store and have subsequently recommended your store to family and friends. Due to our previous positive experiences, we were not prepared to be disappointed.
Unfortunately, a little less than a month ago(five months after purchase) we noticed that the fabric had split and was cracking in a few areas. We brought this to the attention of your customer service people. We produced a receipt.
Informa Supermal then sent someone to our home to verify the damage.
We were subsequently informed that Informa did not guarantee its products.
We wish to lodge a formal complaint.
We request adequate repair, replacement, or a full refund.
Your prompt reply is expected.
Regards, Wayne Duplessis
Very disappointed by the customer service at a local furniture shop.
We bought a nice-looking sofa, and after less than six months the fabric has split and cracked in numerous places. We brought this to the store’s attention, along with the receipt and were told that there was no guarantee.
This after they sent someone to the house to verify the damage.
If you have no guarantee or return-policy then why go
through the charade of investigating customer complaints?

An achievement
Turning eighty. It's been done before, but it seems special when the individual, or individuals in this case, represented youth and vitality for a generation. Never mind that one of them wore a rug ... he was still cool. ...
