Good morning,
We have reached out to the customer via phone call to resolve this.The chargeback tied up the funds and made us unable to issue a refund until it was resolved. Because the item was never shipped we assumed the chargeback would be resolved in our customer's favor. Apparently the bank sided with us, we called the customer on 3/28 and apologized for the issue and issued a complete refund. Let us know if we can provide any further information.
Thank you!
