Asking directly, because I could not find a straight answer: Why chargeback is not the safety net people assume

A logistics question, since the answers here are usually better than anywhere else I have looked.

Parcel despatched 19 days ago, tracking last updated 4 days ago at a customs facility, no further movement. Cold pack included at despatch.

Two questions. First, at what point is this genuinely a problem rather than an ordinary delay? Second, if it does arrive, what is the actual decision process for assessing it, as opposed to the two extremes people usually offer?

Currency conversion: payment in your local currency often involves a conversion fee. Paying in the supplier's native currency sometimes saves money, sometimes costs more. Compare before committing.
