Handling customer demands after shipping to wrong address
Merchants struggle with customers who provide incorrect shipping addresses and later demand refunds or replacements. There is a significant fear of chargebacks and a conflict between maintaining store policies and avoiding financial loss.

I shipped to the address provided at checkout and at no point did she she reach out to raise the mistake with us while the package was in transit.
But as well know, chargebacks do exist. Whilst my win rate is not terrible, it would be very costly to lose this.
Shop policy is wrong address provided = customer pays so at a MINIMUM she would be on the hook for reshipping
This morning customer sends me a "I never received this item because the address I gave you was wrong"....a whole 15 MONTHS later.
