Will be doing a sealed box iphone and was just wondering if anyone has any experience with these stores.
Though I haven't done much preliminary research on the following companies I was wondering if any of you guys who have had experince with them and suggest I should just stay away for any reason (for example, horrible customer service, meticulous box checking or just general stubbornness from the company) OR have any statements/suggestions regarding the following stores.

I know that companies such as Big W, Amazon, JB-Hifi, Apple, OfficeWorks and harvey will be my first choice but i am still intrigued with these other retailers. Let me know guys thanks xxx

The telco companies you've listed are pretty meticulous with returns, particularly In-store SEing.

The Good Guys Is the most vulnerable of the lot.

I would've thought so as well

The Good Guys Is the most vulnerable of the lot.

Alright thanks and how do they match up against big w or jb for example?

I'd say The Good Guys Is on par with Big W.

Would a store like BW or TGG be vulnerable to a sealed box with a dummy phone?
EDIT: or even a higher end fake phone that eletronically functions similar to the real thing

I don't believe we would need the dummy to electronically function, I would be almost certain that they would not try to turn it on as doing that would void warranty. (if its not already voided by them opening the box in the first place)

Following the subject of dummys, I know I have recommended you dummys from sunsky before, I can also recommend you them if you want dummys for Iphone 13. They were even cheaper than the airpods though they do have a few discrepancies in the build quality. For example the buttons have room to wiggle, the metal on the sides/edges feels cheap and the camera lacks intricate details. HOWEVER i am obviously being completely over-scrupulous. For the task it would be perfect and would fool anyone to believe it is the real thing.

They're both vulnerable to the sealed box method Itself, regardless of what's Inside.

Especially In-store SEing when you hit them during the busiest time - Thursday and Friday evening/night.
The same with Target.
