I understand that you have contacted them for support but the likelihood of you receiving any form of compensation is very small. Reason being that so many miners will have been rewarded for your transaction that the company would need to pay you out of pocket which is a real inconvenience. Although I have seen many cases where the company does pay back thousands of dollars for a simple mistake, so I suggest you keep trying!
However, you must let this be a lesson for you in the future when using Bitcoin. The currency is so much more complicated than, say, an online FIAT store. The process of mining is not easy to understand and our Bitcoin addresses are not easily recognizable to our brains instantly. Therefore, because of its complex nature, I suggest you do intensive verifications before sending the transaction. I never send a payment without triple checking the address has been written correctly, the actual amount itself has been typed in and the fee is a reasonable amount (I never do the recommended amount, I like to go lower because I am a little cheap but you can have it anyway you'd like).
Be careful. There are too many of these cases arrising and newbies need to be informed about the risks of sending the wrong information on Bitcoin.
I really do hope you get refunded for your amount though. Good luck!
