Cheap bikes, pt4

General
I bought this bike on the 8th. It shipped on the 10th. It was supposed to come on the 13th, but instead suddenly came on the 11th.
I wanted to set it up (attach the handle bars and front wheel, and adjust the seat), and ride it that day, but it was taking longer than I thought and I had to go to work.
The next day I tried to give it a ride, and the derailleur locked my wheel. I wasn't even on the thing for 5 minutes.
Looked up some videos and tried to fix it. I thought it needed a fix.
The next day I tried to ride it to work. I got to the end of the yard and the derailleur ripped in half.
I made a claim, but had to talk over the phone and wasn't able to for a few days. I am under manufacturer's warranty and had to call, but couldn't for a few more days.
Managed to talk to them for a new derailleur and hanger, but it took almost 2 weeks to get here.
Finally, I can hopefully use my bike.
I go to remove the derailleur and hanger, and the screws for the hanger get stripped the instant I use it. It took me almost 2 days to take them off.
Now to adjust the derailleur.
After hours of going back and forth, looking up how to guides on adjusting, I think I get it.
I go out to test it out, and the instant I get on and start to pedal, the chain comes off and the derailleur gets stuck.
I go back to try and fix it, and the same thing happens 3 times in a row.
Keep in mind, this is a ~brand new~ bicycle. I've already had to get a replacement part for it, fix it myself more than once, and I still can't ride it.
I've now had it for 17 days, have literally not even been on it for 17 minutes.
I want a bike. I kind of need one, even if I can get a working car... but I am seriously starting to consider returning this and getting my money back...
