The company was accused of violating the California state business code that requires products purchased online to be shipped to consumers within 30 days. Suppose, for whatever reason, if the products were unable to be shipped within the mandated timeframe, the merchant has to either provide a refund, send out a notice of the delay, or find another agreeable solution.
