He doesn't have his facts straight. First, he ordered it on 12/14, so
it's only been six days, not seven. That also means he ordered it
last Friday, and the actual debit (not the hold for the $$) probably
didn't hit his bank until early this week. So technically, he was
asking CC to return money they probably didn't even have yet. He also
said he was told they had 2 to 5 business days to return the money to
his account, and that 5th day isn't until tomorrow. I think he ought
to at least give CC a chance to break their word before complaining
about it all.
