What can I do to get my money for an online transaction the internet retailer and the wire company refuse to pay

I purchased a product over the internet and did not recieve what I wanted. How can I get free legal help?
Edith and Hershey, Your first course of action is to read their terms and conditions. See what their return policy is and how they have outlined procedures for disputes.
