Polo runs a toll free customer line and a WhatsApp channel for its South African online store and retail network. It publishes no customer service email address, so a written query goes through WhatsApp or the site rather than by mail.

What this organisation provides
Polo sells clothing, footwear, bags and accessories through its own stores and online shop. The website carries a store locator, a frequently asked questions section, a store credit facility, a Polo Club loyalty programme with its own separate FAQ, and a mobile app. Loyalty and store credit queries are handled separately from ordinary order queries, so say which one you are calling about.
Address and operating information
Polo publishes no head office street address or trading hours on its contact page. To track an order online you need three things together: the order number, the cell number and the email address used on the order. Polo states that it uses these to verify your identity and protect your account, so an order query without them will not get far. The tracking result returns the order status, courier and waybill number.
Support and escalation routes
Take a delivery or product problem to the toll free line or WhatsApp with the order number to hand. For an item bought in a store rather than online, the store that sold it is the first stop, since returns are handled at store level. An unresolved complaint about defective goods, a refund or a delivery failure is a Consumer Protection Act matter and can be escalated to the National Consumer Commission. Note that Polo Club loyalty terms and store credit terms are published separately from the general terms, so check the relevant one before disputing a balance.
