so am I right in saying with the AirPods EB method, the requirement is to say the apple box itself was empty and not the whole shipping box was empty?

same with Apple Watch?

Correct.

Not particularly, just a method I could use  for each of the items.

• IPhone - Sealed box (not Amazon or Apple), wrong Item received, boxing, DNA (non-OTP delivery)
  
• Airpods, Apple watch - EB/missing Item (first choice), DNA (non-OTP delivery), boxing
  

Do you know of any retailers where the sealed box method still works?

The majority of retailers.

Best Buy for Instance, does not Inspect Its contents, they only look at the seals to make sure they're Intact.

Thank you for answering, mothered. I plan on doing this at Best Buy. How is this not unlimited free money? According to their website Best Buy gives cash refunds for cash purchases under $800. What's stopping me from doing the sealed box method with $700 items at 10 different Best Buy locations and getting $7,000 worth of free items while leaving no paper trail?

You're most welcome.

Nothing.

Create x-amount of totally different accounts that have no association whatsoever, and you'd be operating under a different Identity/profile - which Is how Best Buy will take It on board.

Can you please help me learn how to re-seal a MacBook? I just watched this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_e1N1O55io) and the plastic film he removes from 1:45 to 2:05 seems quite unique. How would I go about re-sealing this MacBook? What would I need to purchase and how would I need to apply it? Should I just completely remove the plastic film and get the tools to re-seal it? The MacBook box isn't actually sealed, only wrapped in plastic film. I was reading your article "The Sealed Box Method" but I don't fully understand this part. It says to only peel a portion of the film to slightly open the box and carefully slide the item out, but this doesn't seem possible with this MacBook. What if I just completely remove the plastic film then apply a new one? Is that feasible?

My article cannot possibly cater for each and every laptop packaging - It's a general guide, and the methodologies should be manipulated accordingly.

Do whatever It takes to form a perfect reseal.

You're not working on a schedule so If need be, take an entire week to perfect It.

Hey @mothered, I’m really confused about a specific aspect of the sealed box method that applies to everything wrapped in a plastic film. I do not understand how I can use the heat sealer machine to reseal the plastic film on the side of a rectangular box. The heat sealer machine linked in your article “THE SEALED BOX METHOD SUCCESS” seems to only work for bags like chip bags or ziploc bags. How would someone use this to reseal a MacBook? Can you explain in great detail?

Also, the AliExpress link for the “10pcs Open Plastic Factory Film Seal Label Stickers For Package Box MacBook Pro Air Pro” says the item is no longer available. Can you please provide a link to a website that has these available? Thank you.

I've stated In my blog that the heat sealer machine "could" also be required, but not "would" be required.

I don't have time to look around.

As an SE'er yourself, It's your job to research.
