Waiting for refund

I have dealt with Travelstart many times with no problems, I was due to fly to Australia on 19 March, booking (ZA***6) but due to the airlines changing flights I cancelled the flights & on 20 March, (Refund record number is RA***) was told I would get a full refund & it would take 6 - 8 weeks, we are now almost into week 11 & today their chat room tells me that there will be no refunds from the airline until it is up & running again due to the coronavirus, so having read quite a few reviews in this site I see that many remark on the way that the company quickly cancels their flights but can some one please tell me how many of you have actually received refunds!

Hi, I wrote the review relating to Travelstart on 1 May "Waiting for refund" I made a mistake relating to the date I was told I would get a full refund, it should of been as follows:- I cancelled the flights & on 20 FEBRUARY, (Refund record number is RA**********/27) was told I would get a full refund & it would take 6 - 8 weeks, I apologies if I misled anyone relating to the time frame of this claim

Thanks to Travelstart for phoning & informing me that the majority of airlines have suspended refunds until they are up & running again, so if you are waiting for a refund patience is the key as there is no time frame for a restart, some airlines are also offering to extend your ticket so as & when they are again in the air you can re-book your flights
