Not to take away any attention from the OP, but I also was searching for some help regarding a recent order from amazon and attemting my first SE refund. I figured this thread could help both of us without me starting an entirely new thread.

I live in the US, have an Amazon Prime account that has  been in good standing for well over ten years now.  
just ordered a new motherboard for my PC( GIGABYTE AORUS GA-Z270X-Gaming 7 Gaming Motherboard) for $229.99, which was delivered by UPS today.  As no one was home when the delivery was made, the package was left on my front door step.  I live in a small community, and the drivers have never had issues with this area, thus leaving my package out in the open.  I realize this should be pretty straight forward as far as getting a refund, but I was curious as to how long I should wait before communicating with Amazon.  Because I have alerts sent to my phone the moment the package is delivered to my address, Amazon will see that it was delivered.  My first idea was building a story off of a stolen package, as truthfully, a good amount of shady folks walk right past my place on the sidewalk during the day and they know that  I am a PC enthusiasts .

I have Skype, and i am willing to speak with anyone who can help me out, and if it comes down to it, I would be willing to allow a professional to handle this for their cut.

EDIT: I was also curious as to how long this process usually takes, if everything goes accordingly?

Just load up their live chat and talk to them. Make sure it's 24 hours after your parcel has been delivered.

If you act maturely and friendly you shouldn't have problems as a first refund on a well reputable account.
