I was thinking of doing the boxing method by cutting a hole on the side, replacing it with boxing tape, and then closing it with a different colored tape.

Any advice, or suggestion?

That's how the boxing method Is performed but In the case of the phone, It's too heavy to box on Its own, hence you'd need to substitute Its weight.

Ok let's say I box the return using brown tape.
SHould I wait for the company to contact me back regarding the refund ? or should I make a paypal claim as soon as the package is returned ?

Moreover, asgoodasnew is a website that can only be contacted through mail and the answer time is quite slow, so no phone or chat rep

They'll usually get In contact with you a little while after they've received It.

If not, get In touch with them.

or should I make a paypal claim as soon as the package is returned ?

PayPal Is a backup plan, hence should always be used as a last resort.

I just received the package. the phone was in a plastic envelope and the weird thing is that the shipping weight is 1kg when the phone + box only weighs 500g
Can I say Wrong Item received ? Or SNAD ?

What type of packaging did the phone & box come In?

Can I say Wrong Item received ?

Through the company, but you'd need to act fast with the wrong Item.

Or SNAD ?

Via PayPal If the company declines the claim and refuses to budge with their decision.

Which weighs next to nothing.

They must've rounded up the shipping weight to the nearest/next kilo.

Had another question

When doing the boxing method using PayPal, if the company takes too long and we escalate through PP, can't the company just say that the package received wasn't the phone? In that case, how does PayPal resolve the issue?

The company would need evidence to support their claim - which they won't have.

So I should use brown tape to substitute the weight, and make it look like it was tampered, right?

You can do that, although a little dry Ice Is a better option.

And yes, be sure the box appears to be tampered with.
