This image displays the Complaint Tablet to Ea-nāṣir, considered to be the oldest known written customer complaint.
This clay tablet, written in Akkadian cuneiform around 1750 BCE, was found in the ancient city of Ur (modern-day Iraq).
It details a complaint from a customer named Nanni to a merchant named Ea-nāṣir, concerning the delivery of substandard copper ingots and mistreatment of Nanni's servant.
The tablet offers a unique glimpse into ancient Mesopotamian trade practices and consumer grievances, demonstrating that customer complaints are a long-standing human phenomenon.
