    Ok.
    But you have to wait 15 days from debit date with Visa & 30 days with Mastercard before starting the process.
    But as they have now stated 4 to 6 weeks. The 120 days would run from that date.
    All depends if Op wants to wait or not.

    for me it would start from the 4 to 6 days they quoted on the website not the four to six weeks they subsequently quoted.

    The company were claiming it said that the item in question was stated as 4-6 weeks delivery whereas OP said they didn't see this info stated, I guess the bank would look at the info and decide themselves at what point the waiting period should begin from :)

    In effect you can do it from the minimum timescale. But if retailer can prove they stated a longer timeframe, which it seems they can. It's a easy rejection for them.
    So with only 1 shot at a chargeback, it's a stupid loss for OP.
