how do you believe I should cut the box

Don't overdo It, otherwise It will be noticed at the collection point and release the driver (or whoever Is handling the shipment) from liability.

Cut It on the underside of the box, and just enough to demonstrate the contents have been taken.

So maybe cut a little square where the AirPods would be and a x on the bottom of the big box and put two pieces of tape
