      Ms. ****** reached out on 10/06 requesting a refund for a payment that she sent to Kimball Midwest in error.   

      We immediately processed the refund request on 10/07 and advised Ms. ****** via email to allow a few weeks for the check to be received.   

      We did not inform Ms. ****** that the check would be mailed on 10/07 (Please see attached email). 

       I personally reached out to Ms. ****** on 10/24 to explain the check refund process in detail and assured her that the appropriate steps were taken in the handling of this request.  It is our hope that she has now received a full refund of her payment totaling $1020.00.  If she is still experiencing delays, we would be happy to send a new payment via UPS or FedEx.
