A Maine Superior Court has ordered online military uniform retailer Military Accessories and Community Support, also known as MAACS, to refund a total of $18,716 to 96 military members who paid for uniforms that were never delivered, according to the Maine attorney general’s office.

In a statement Friday announcing the decree, Attorney General Janet Mills said her office received complaints from U.S. service members “stationed around the world.”

“This court order means the MAACS customers will finally receive back their money,” she said.

Neither MAACS, based in South Portland, Maine, nor its owner, Allison MacDonald, admitted to any wrongdoing by entering into the agreement in the consent decree.

Any new MAACS complaints should be mailed to Gail Cyr, Maine Attorney General Consumer Protection Division, 6 State House Station, Augusta, ME 04333, or e-mailed to [e-mail]. The phone number is 207-626-8502. There is no time limit on the complaints, said Jim McKenna, a spokesman for the attorney general.
