I recently had to do a return for the first time for a customer.....FED EX picked it up...it was listed in my adjustments on cc....it is gone now...but I haven't gotten a refund in my account yet...how long does this take?
 
how did the customer pay for the item? They usually refund the customer, not you.

It has not gone to the customer either I talked with her today......and ideas here?
 
Returns generally take 2-3 weeks. How long has it been?
 
I had the exact same thing happen to me. I called HO yesterday and was told that a step (on their part) was missed on processing my customer's return. They would be processing her a check within the next 2-3 business days. If I hadn't of called, no telling how much longer my customer would have been without being reimbursed.

I have never had this problem before. My customer is not pleased. HO had the return for over 3 weeks.
