13 Ways to Protect Local Businesses During the Coronavirus Crisis

You can request a refund

Before requesting a refund to your bank, you should contact your favorite small business to help you. Doing this, you not only will help them a lot but you will have some benefits as well. 

“Most businesses are extremely happy to offer you a refund–and not just because it’s the right thing to do during these chaotic, uncertain times, but because it actually saves them money: Businesses can lose $3 or more for every dollar lost to chargebacks, when you factor in the loss-of-product, punitive fees, penalties and more. So do the right thing, and ask your local business directly for a refund–instead of first turning elsewhere. They’ll be very grateful you did!” said Monica Eaton-Cardone, COO ofChargebacks911.
