This fee covers the time and expense that we have to invest in investigating and proving that you did make the purchase, received the item, and failed to resolve the problem with our company. Unpaid chargeback fees will be referred to a collections agency. Chargebacks revealed to be motivated by fraud (i.e. cash the refund check AND file a chargeback, or false claims of non-receipt of merchandise) will be immediately referred to local law enforcement for investigation and prosecution. We are human and make mistakes just like everyone else. If a problem arises, contact us and we will do everything we possibly can to fix it for you. However, if you would rather use a credit card chargeback, PayPal dispute, or any other hostile remedy as your first choice for problem resolution, we will respond appropriately.
