What's the normal procedure to obtain a replacement from Intel for a defective CPU under warranty?

I have a defective PIII 850MHz. I called Intel and they acknowledged that it's defective must be replaced under warranty (less than two months old, boxed CPU with 3 year warranty). They told me that I'll receive an E-mail in the next 24 hours containing a RMA number and instructions about how to send my processor to their depot. I called later twice and first time discovered that they recorded an incorrect E-mail address, second time they told me they are behind schedule.. It's one week now and I didn't receive any message from them.

There is no E-mail address where I can write to them about my "case" (they gave me a case number when I called first time). What should I do? (guess I'll have to call for the 4th time, then 5th and so on..) BTW I'm in Canada.

Thanks.

Call them again and check their RMA website probably under support.

Where did you buy the chip?

If you bought the chip at a local vendor just return it there.
