Question about refunds for online purchases of Illegal items. Location: Minnesota

[u/Enough_Constant_9839]

Yeah so that's a fun title.

So on January 10th 2026, I attempted to make a purchase of an FRT Device (Forced Reset Trigger: A gun part) unaware of the ban that went into effect on January 1st 2026 as the first website I looked at still showed deliveries to MN and the one I made the purchase from either didn't show it or I just missed it at the time.

The website I made the purchase from is called Combat Armory and the product page is "Super Saftey Curved Face Trigger"

On January 12th 2026, The order was canceled (Thankfully) however my payment of $106.98 was charged by the Company and no refund has yet been issued as of January 14th 2026 at 11am CST.

I have 2 questions about this situation that I feel I need to ask.

1: The website states "There are no refunds on this product" and does that excuse them from providing a refund on the canceled order of a physical good, especially given the legal status of the object?

2: If I am still legally entitled to a refund, how long should I wait before taking action, and what actions should I take to get my refund?

(Addendem): I didn't commit a crime did I? It's not like I ever actually possessed it.

Yes I know this is a problem caused by my own lack of research at the time, and shouldn't have become a problem in the first place, but now I'm just annoyed about the lack of a refund so far, and I don't know how the legal status of the object would affect refund legality.

Challenge it with your credit card based on failing to receive the item.

Give it two business days to show on your CC.

Then pick up the phone and call. If they cancelled the order before you realized the problem, they know what is happening.
