  basically after a week of talking to them. I finally got mission SUCESS. Even expedited the shipping for me and my headphones will be here Monday!!

1- I called and said that I felt very uncomfortable handling them Because they had a very distinct odor to them and I was not comfortable putting them in my ears or touching them..

(The serial number is under the lid)
Btw If you need a air pods pro serial number I have about 7 more of them I’d be willing to trade for other serials.

Well they didn’t ask for my serial because I told them I wasn’t going to touch them. I have pets and children here and do not need any kind of acid getting anywhere or on anything because i felt it violated my HEALTH AND SAFTEY... and the HEALTH AND SAFTEY of my children and pets. They wanted me to pick one of the following steps..

1. Return to amazon -(which I made a fake pop  for) so couldn’t do that

2. Give them a cc on file for the price so they could put a hold on it, ship me replacements and then when they receive my old pair (which I never had) they would release the hold on my funds

So I then just kind of agreed and told them I didn’t have my cc on me at the moment and they sent me a email to proceed with the payment later.


I waited till after Christmas (about 3-4 days) called them back and said that “i talked to amazon and they said that without the product I wouldn’t be able to get replacement or refunded. And that they refused to help me in any way.. so now I’m back to you guys”and the lady from apple then stated what do you mean you don’t have the product. And I said “well a few days ago while I was online chatting the First Lady I told her I didn’t feel comfortable handling them or having them in my home. So I recorded serial and disposed of them immediately because I felt confident that she was going to go ahead and send my replacements. So now I’m stuck with nothing but my receipt. (Which remember I never had a pair of air pods and I made the pop) and she said she would transfer me to senior supervisor. I spoke with COLTON a senior rep for apple support. And he said that he understand the situation and would do a one time thing to bypass the return pair or the need of a cc. He was actually very very cooperative and helpful and understanding that I disposed of them immediately because of HEALTH and SAFTEY reasons I couldn’t store them and wasn’t thinking and just thought I was doing what was best and that was to dispose and protect my family. I spent about 5 min on the phone with him he got my address and email one more time and said they will be here Monday!! That is successful SE # 4!

Just figured I’d share with you guys. Idk how many people have SE apple directly.

Ps. Remember I got 7 more serials to the new air pod pros if someone is willing to do some trades for other serials to products they have successfully SE’d.

Given that companies take health & safety quite seriously, this was a significant contributing factor to your successful outcome.

Good work.

Thanks got any suggestions for next company to give a shot?? I’ve had a couple companies in progress but they all want product back first and I didn’t use the leaking Barrett example, I used no power, any ways to get them to go ahead and send with out the product upfront? If you have any suggestions feel free to pm me.

Thanks for the feedback!

Pretty cool, I've been wanting to do something similar. Where I live peoples SSNs are public record, and unless the websites payment system requires additional verification (Swedish BankID) you can place orders with invoice in that way. The product is then sent to either a post office where you'll need an ID to get it, or if the product is small enough it's shipped straight to your (or the victim in this case) mailbox. You can then simply retrieve the item from the victims mailbox, assuming it's one without a lock, which is pretty common here. You could use something like Google Maps to find addresses with these types of mailboxes before placing the order.

I've done this successfully with RAM sticks for up to $400, and was thinking of doing it with Airpods aswell, since they are pretty small. The company shipping do not take the price into consideration when sending it to your mailbox, just the dimensions of the item or package itself. Pretty serious fraud but works perfectly.

Name the Item and we'll work from there.

For Instance, It may well be light enough to box, hence (seemingly) sending It back will not be an Issue.

[Dktsharp]

So even if I box the item (let’s say a miroir projector) they say that I would get my replacement after they try and fix the projector. So if I box them idk if they would send another back my way. Or would it be a situation I’d have to argue and say “no I sent in a projector and it’s not my fault packages got mixed up I want what I’m owed..??”

If you're boxing them, how can they fix a projector that they haven't received?

[Dktsharp]

Exactly.. so our emails are waiting on my reply. They sent shipping labels for me to return the projector that has no power.. they won’t send replacement unless the one I “send in” is ruled unrepairable. I’m not sending one in.. is there anything I can do from this point? Their warranty page says they are not responsible for any lost or damaged packages during shipping to and from the company/seller. .. basically unless I have a way to not send them a projector and talk them into sending me the “replacement” then I’m stuck..

Did I just fail this SE??

You still got serial numbers?

Your last post was around 4 weeks ago. Are you still In the same predicament?
