How long do investigations generally take?

It depends on the complexity of the claim, and the Information that needs to be collected to assess It and come to a decision.

1. I have 17 days to make this happen,  living temporarily somewhere so realized might as well lol, but how long could this potentially take  (esp investigations_ depending on methods needed to be used?

How long Is a piece of string? How deep Is a hole?

Impossible to generalize.

Here are mostly my concerns:

2.. If DNA fails, of all the other methods, which would be advisable given my time frame? 
Wrong Item received method - what item to swap macbook with and will swapping work on bestbuy? Assuming amazon swapping with cat food even would work since they sell those.
Boxing method - whats that?
Faulty Item method for tech-based products - whats that?
Disposed of the faulty Item method (as above) - whats that?
Leaking battery method (for obvious reasons) - would this work?
The missing Item method (weight permitted) - how do you know they "missed" weight

^ Read the articles on my blog.

3. My other concern is If BB fails for whatever reason I have to return it, ill get hit with exchange fees conversion (diff currency) so ill lose money on it VS Amazon will refund the whole thing since you can pay in different currencies. That is if i dont have to do a chargeback on either lol

That's why you must research your SE prior to Initiating It.

Im hoping for DNA but given signature/OTP most likely will be required, not sure how to avoid it.

Opt for another method.

Where i am they generally just toss and leave items.

They've basically DNA'd themselves.

So i went to place an order with Amazon . Noticed it showed if I ordered within 22 hrs i get it earlier. Then while deciding...it changed to 3 days later. I kept refreshing to get the message back and earlier delivery date. It didnt show up so i placed the order and THEN it showed the earlier date again.

So i cancelled within minutes cuz the item was showing faster delivery if i ordered 'within 22 hrs" again so i placed the order again

Then 10 mins later get an email about unusual activity on my amazon account ....and its acting me to submit info like billing details and documents to prove its my card or something.


What did i fuck up? And should i just proceed with it?

From a legit standpoint, Amazon have done the right thing - your actions triggered a security alert and they've acted on It accordingly.

Comply with their request.

I can even login to see anything to get past this screen

Explain the Issue to Amazon.
