Levi (right?), this is a finicky fish. Your best bet to get the fish eating is to put it directly into your reef (not a QT). Maybe you can work a deal out with them at Gold's suggesting that since you have the fish on hold, if it doesn't start eating it will die anyway, so you may as well try in your own tank where your odds of success will be much greater. Maybe they can do a partial or full money back (store credit) guarantee. They are risking losing the cost of the fish simply by ordering a finicky fish, so I would hope they would be willing to give the fish its best shot which in turn gives them the best shot at making their money off it.

In a reef setup it is usually easier to entice a new fish to eat as he will see the others eating. Some popular food items for Angels would be frozen mysis, frozen "angelfish" food (with sponges), and raw clams in shell (buy at grocery store). Garlic works wonders too.
