That chargeback was kind of a dik move. I know 3 weeks is a long time, but it is within reason.
So this is quite funny. I sent the POS alienware back 2 weeks ago. They received it last Thursday per UPS tracking. So today I still have yet to see a refund on my amex for the purchase. I call Dell to see what's going on and they proceed to tell me that it takes 3 weeks for them to process the refund. I have never returned anything to where it takes 3 weeks to refund. What are they smoking over there?
So ended up calling amex and doing a chargeback.
