Just buy a spare charging cord and have USB-C cords on standby.

  2 days would be extremely fast.
The only dependable way to shorten the time would be a 'live' messenger,
but then, one end or the other would be likely at an uncomfortable local time.

Your time is yesterday or tomorrow there.
And given that I explained the situation and answered all their questions in the initial ticket, they shouldn't have even needed to ask me anything after the first 3 day wait. Two weeks was entirely unnecessary.
