^ I have never heard of such a thing. I've done chargebacks for legitimate reasons on both my American Express and Visa well past 30 days and never had a problem. I've heard lot of sellers have buyers do a chargeback months and months later, and lots of buyers who do chargebacks 2, 3 or 4 months later and never have problems. Credit cards are usually very willing to work with you because they want to keep you as a customer. I definitely agree that you should ship as early as possible, and don't ship anything international that is slower than airmail. You're just asking for trouble.
