The product it's a bad but at least the Italians gave your money back and I am sure this forum made it happens!  :-+

This is why you order things with a credit card. I've found simply threatening a charge back makes 90% of companies bend over backwards to give a refund. (This only applies to North America, not sure how things work in Euroland.)

I started a Visa chargeback with the bank :)

I started the chargeback before they refunded me, as they were ignoring me...

I've cancelled it now.

If you told the company that, I bet that's why they sent a refund.

Fun Fact: Every time a company receives a charge back, the credit card processor not only takes back the money from their account, they also charge a fee that can range upwards of $200 or more. In addition, you're only allowed a limited number of charge backs, afterwards the processor will drop your account. This information is also shared with other card processing companies, effectively blacklisting you from getting a merchant account and being able to accept credit cards again.

That's interesting! I didn't know that, but it makes sense.

I think it's probably this forum that kicked their arse in to gear :)
