Curious, do you then sell them without the box? Not prying, just curious if they manage to sell well without the box and packaging etc.
They sold very well at around $500 CAD without packaging. Charging cable and travel case were included though. Actually used the excuse that I had thrown the box out to explain why I couldn’t return them.
Oh and you can always refund the knockoffs after that.
Thanks for the reply bro. Any chance you've got a link to those knockoffs on Aliexpress you could post here or DM to me? Would appreciate, cheers bro

Pleasure. I can’t find the ones I bought anymore but search for “AirPods Max 1:1” and you’ll find a bunch. Price varies a lot depending on sellers even if it’s all the same crap coming out of the same factory in HK. Be ready to negotiate to keep cost down, especially if buying in bulk.

The DNA Is the obvious choice, but If DPD Is the carrier, they may take photos so be prepared for It.
Alternatively, the wrong Item received tends to work well.

From your knowledge is curry’s as easy as amazon in regards to DNA? I’ll order a pair and keep an eye out for dpd etc
With wrong item received would I need something in similar weight to the original item still?

Amazon Is more vulnerable.

Correct.
Purchase It from the same company on a different account, and sent to another address.

I was going to say, surely no company is as ‘bad’ as amazon in that respect

Absolutely.
The "different account" mentioned In my previous post, refers to every detail changed.

Every SE has an element of risk, but Currys has been successfully hit quite a number of times with the wrong Item received method.
