Section 75 or chargeback?

I ordered from an american company blissy using their UK website. I ordered on 25 november, in their black friday sale. My items would have normally cost £106 but i got them for £75. So the items have been stuck in London since 8 december and the company won’t tell them when to expect it.  I did a quick check in trustpilot and this seems to be common issues.  I am going to ask for a refund but it seems unlikely.

I paid by credit card so I was thinking of asking my credit card provider for a refund. However, I am not sure if section 75 applies.  The MSE guide says you can apply for section 75 if you are ordering from a different country. However, I am not sure if it applies if you charged under £100 to your credit card. Would chargeback be better for me? Any advice?

  • S75 is best, however wont work as due to the value of the items. Contact your bank for a chargeback.

    You paid £75, so NO S75 would not apply, but you also mention "Item's". For S75 it is per item price, not order price.

    So chargeback is the only option. But if it is a Mastercard you used. You will have to wait till 08/01/23 to start the process. Visa you can start now.

    Where are they "stuck"? In Customs?
