Just want to update you on how my amazon FTID method worked.
It took 3-4 weeks, long but worth it. My account already has dna and boxed all in same month.

So, it sounds like a lot of work, but I wanted to do it so..

- I ordered items from amazon through amazon review groups. Leave review > get refund > keep item.
- The items from the groups totalled the same weight of the items i wanted to SE
- Ordered items I want to SE from amazon
- Request return and send back the items I got from reviewers groups (so it shows same weight)
- Edit label, and do not put barcode inside packaging
- Send items, wait 5 days and contact amazon asking for refund. They will tell you to wait 3 days, 24 hours, you will get an email saying it could take up to 2 weeks from when your return is delivered.
- Keep contacting them and being persistent. You will get it back eventually.

Oh, and I have proof.

Nice work. From what I've been hearing ftid with amazon is an extremely 50-50 success rate. It also depends on the value of the refund.

Was it sent to their warehouse directly or nearby?

[ElieMK]

Directly to the address they provided.
Value was a few items totalling around £320

what do you mean by editlabel?

what do you mean by editlabel?

You remove your personal information or anything that will identify the label back to yourself.

Hence why it shows as delivered to correct address, the weight is registered as the same, but it ends up being “lost” in their warehouse as no one can scan any code. You can even edit the address to show a different amazon facility to be delivered to. They have about 3 distribution centres.

The same thing can be done with other companies.

I think they can identify who you are by the order detail in the barcode. Kinda got lucky that it worked.

You're basically relying on the Inwards goods/receiving department being brain-dead, by not checking consignments.
